This top guy is crazy!

January 1st, New Year’s Day.

We just celebrated the New Year last night, and at this moment, the early morning air still has the afterglow of the festival, as if every wisp of wind carries the laughter and joy of last night, slowly settling in the morning light.

At 2026: in the morning, people appeared in the shopping mall. New Year, new atmosphere. In order to welcome the arrival of the New Year, the shopping mall specially made New Year-themed decorations. The logo can be seen everywhere, full of festive joy.

However, most of them did not stay on the lower floors, but took the escalator directly to the cinema on the fifth floor.

At the entrance of the cinema, the first thing that comes into view is the huge poster of the movie "Green Snake".

The poster is based on a strong oriental fantasy style, combining classical ink painting conception with modern visual design.

The top of the poster is marked in eye-catching font: Cheng Cheng's work.

Following them are the leading actors: Cheng Cheng, Yan Gou'er, Wen Lian, and Luo Yongliang, with the fonts arranged vertically.

The main body of the picture is green, echoing the theme of "green snake".

Wen Lian and Yan Gou'er play the Green Snake and the White Snake respectively. They are draped in gauze and entwine seductively among the bamboo forest and water waves smudged with ink. The snake tails are looming, which has both a bewitching beauty and a hidden dangerous aura.

Fahai, played by Cheng Cheng, is wearing a cassock and standing on one side of the screen with a Zen staff in his hand. His face is stern, and the golden Buddha light forms a sharp contrast with the evil aura of the green snake.

In the background, the Jiangnan courtyard, the withered lotus leaves, the rain curtain and the misty clouds are intertwined to create a hazy fairyland atmosphere.

Even though it was not the first time that the audience saw this poster, they were still amazed by the aesthetic skills displayed in this poster.

However, compared to this poster, netizens prefer another one, which is the one with Cheng Cheng as the main character, and Wen Lian and Yan Gou'er standing on his left and right. That poster highlights the characters better, and Cheng Cheng looks more handsome.

However, netizens also know that the picture is not suitable to be the main poster because it is too eye-catching.

At this time, there were already a lot of people in the cinema, many young men and women, most of whom came specifically to see "Green Snake".

A young couple couldn't help but mutter:

"Even the first row and corner seats for the Green Snake show are sold out."

There are seven movies released during the New Year's Day period this year. In addition to Cheng Cheng's "Green Snake", there is also the crime film "The Angry Water" co-starring Liu Wei Chi and a first-line actress from the mainland, the romance film "Sweet After Bitterness" starring a second-line actor and a second-line actress from the mainland, as well as a female-themed movie "Give Me Life", an art film "Here We Are", an animated film "The Heist", and a road comedy "Where the Flowers Bloom".

Generally speaking, there are only one and a half movies that can be released during the New Year's Day holiday.

"Green Snake", and half of "The Angry Water".

In order to avoid Cheng Cheng, many blockbusters chose to bypass the New Year's Day period, and some of the scheduled releases were withdrawn.

There is no way around it, because Cheng Cheng’s movies can really drain the entire movie market!
As for movies like "Sweet and Bitter", "Give Me Life", and "Here We Are", they are just leftovers.

Especially the female-themed movie "Give Me Life", which is destined to become cannon fodder. In Maoyan's box office forecast, "Give Me Life" was actually suppressed by the animated film "The Raiders".

In fact, it is easy to understand. After two or three years of baptism of "female themes", the Chinese film industry has long been fully aware of the market. The upper limit of this type of film is only 50 to 60 million box office. In particular, the promotional focus of "Give Me Life" is still on the outdated proposition of "female mutual assistance". Its director Lin Xiaonan also tried hard to cue gender topics during the roadshow, which naturally led to the loss of half of the audience.

Men are smarter now.

Isn't it cheap to pay others to insult you?

Many women are no longer willing to go to the cinema to support such movies, because such movies generally have one characteristic, which is boring and dramatic. They prefer to support them online rather than spending money to buy tickets.

Finally, at ten o'clock in the morning, the ticket checking for the earliest show of "Green Snake" began.

After receiving their 3D glasses, the first group of audience members walked into the theater with anticipation and sat down in their seats.

-

At the same time, in the giant screen hall of Vans Cinema in Dijing, the premiere of "Green Snake" was being held.

All major official media, such as CCTV Film Channel, Xinhua News Agency, and Renri, were present;
Heavyweights from Tianying Group and Radio and Television also attended;

In addition, many well-known directors and producers in the film industry, such as Lü Zhuofeng, Gong Guangming, and Che Fu, also took time out of their busy schedules to show their support.

Cheng Cheng, Wen Lian and Yan Gou'er were like the moon surrounded by stars. They interacted cordially with the media from time to time, talked with the leaders of Tianying and Radio and Television, and chatted and laughed with Lu Zhuofeng, Gong Guangming, Che Fu and others.

"Xu Xian" Luo Yongliang felt like a minion standing there.

Damn it, why do I feel like a tool the whole time?

Pay attention to me!

Please pay attention to me!

But soon, this subtle psychological activity was quickly drowned out by the warm atmosphere on the scene:

Forget it, just be a tool.

Others want to be tools but can't even do so.

Soon, as the premiere progressed, the time was almost up, and Cheng Cheng led the main creative staff of "Green Snake" back to the stage, waiting for the movie to begin.

In the darkness, Yan Gou'er quietly held Cheng Cheng's hand, and Cheng Cheng tilted his head to look at her.

Yan Gou'er whispered:

"I'm a little nervous."

This is her first subversive role.

Ye Wenjie is not subversive, she just digs deep and brings out the iron and complexity in human nature. Gu Xiaomeng is not subversive either, she just plays out the subversiveness of the character. But Bai Suzhen in "Green Snake" is different.

She is charming and beautiful, with the charm and seduction of a mature woman.

Yan Gou'er was worried that he wouldn't be able to act well.

Cheng Cheng said:
"I can comfort you, but after I comfort you, you know what I'm going to do, right?"

"What are you doing?" Yan Gou'er's face turned red in the darkness.

Cheng Cheng quietly slid his hand down.

At this time, another hand also touched over. Cheng Cheng turned his head and saw that it was Wen Lian's.

Cheng Cheng didn't expect that "Burning Winter" had already started before "Green Snake" was released.

-

Meanwhile, all of Asia.

In Neon, Peninsula, Annan, and Tyrande, almost all cinemas were playing "Green Snake".

However, their slogans are slightly different.

Because Neon has always been obsessed with Cheng Cheng's looks and his own tragedy, the promotion of the movie is:
At the end of the century, the last beautiful boy became a king and died! The thousand-year war between monsters and monsters, the ritual of love for neon "mono no mourning" (the last beautiful boy in the 21st century who became a king and transformed into a handsome Buddha! The thousand-year war between monsters and Buddhas, a ritual of love that transcends neon mourning)
The Peninsula places more emphasis on Cheng Cheng's identity as a film master, and the slogan is: "The genius Cheng Cheng that shook the history of film, the fateful drama of the enchanting green snake directed and starred by himself" (The genius Cheng Cheng that shook the history of film, the fateful epic of the enchanting green snake directed and starred by himself)

Annan is deeply influenced by Tianxia, ​​and places more emphasis on love and destiny: Tianxia’s hottest superstar, the awakening of the snake spirit, a mixture of love and hate, Annan’s new chapter of oriental mythology on the screen!

Tyrande highlights the Buddhist concept of reincarnation: "Director Cheng Cheng's new chapter is about seduction and innocence, betrayal and redemption, Buddha and the snake woman - an irresistible visual feast of love."

In short, each country is promoting the movie "Green Snake" in a way that suits its national conditions.

Neon, Kyoto Cinema.

Two girls in lolita skirts put their movie tickets together and took a photo.

Then one of the girls said intoxicatedly:

"Ah, Cheng Chengjun is so beautiful, it's like a face created by God."

"Yeah~~~", another girl also sighed, "It's a pity that in real life, there are very few people with a face like his. Only Tianxia can produce such a handsome man, right?"

The girl in front agreed: "Yeah, that's the truth. Neon won't exist, so I want to find a boyfriend who is in Tianxia in the future."

"Really?"

"of course it's true!"

Peninsula, Lotte Cinema Myeongdong, Seoul

Two middle-aged men who looked like film critics were talking at the popcorn counter.

"Oh my god, this new work by Cheng Cheng is really eye-opening! The feeling of classicism and fantasy intertwined together is really what Peninsula Director dreamed of himself. I just don't know how the finished product will be."

"The quality of the movie is definitely beyond reproach, and this time it uses 3D technology, so the visual effects should also be top-notch. I just don't know if it will exceed expectations."

Annan, a young mother brought her son to watch a movie with great enthusiasm.

"Son, today Mommy is taking you to watch Green Snake. This movie is very popular."

"Mom, but I don't want to watch a movie. I want to go to the amusement park and play with Xiaomei."

"My dear son, why do you want to go to the amusement park? Don't you want to see Uncle Cheng Cheng? Uncle Cheng Cheng is so handsome! And the story in this movie is very exciting. Mommy guarantees that you will like it. How about Mommy taking you to the amusement park tomorrow?"

"Okay, Mom~"

The young mother breathed a sigh of relief. It is really difficult to be a fan when being a mother.

Finally got my son into the cinema.

Tyland, Chinatown Cinema.

A young couple came to the front desk, and the boy said to the ticket seller: "Hello, I want to buy two tickets for the movie "Green Snake."

The ticket seller smiled and said, "Okay, you came at the right time. The 10 o'clock show is almost sold out. There are only a few tickets left, but the only seats available are for couples."

"Ah?" the boy said in confusion, as if deliberately letting the girl see his embarrassment, "There are only couple seats?"

The conductor continued to smile:

"Yes, sorry, even the pre-sale tickets are sold out today. Many people came here just for Cheng Cheng."

The boy was noncommittal: "Is that so~"

The girl poked his waist from behind and gave him a look that said "you understand".

Suddenly, the boy said happily: "Then give me a couple seat."

Then simply scan the code to pay.

Finally, after entering the theater and waiting for a while, the movie finally started.

Those who were talking, playing with their phones, or just being bored all stopped, put on their 3D glasses, and watched the movie with great anticipation.

On the big screen, the dragon logo of the Tianxia Film Bureau flashed first, followed by the logo of Myth Media, the logo of Tianying Group, the logo of Vans Pictures, etc. After these, the information of the film's main creators appeared.

[Sheng Cheng's works]
Leading actors:

Cheng Cheng, Yan Gou'er, Wen Lian, Luo Yongliang.

As the main creative message scrolled, a woman's singing sounded in the background:

“Life is like this, life is like this.

Who knows the fate of birth and death? Who knows?

Love ends and love begins, love is true and love is crazy,
What? Where?
The love is so great! "

The song "Life Is Like This" written by Huang Zhan uses the pentatonic scale as the melody framework, and is accompanied by traditional instruments such as flute, guzheng, and pipa. In an instant, it seems to drag the audience into a psychedelic dream. The singing is lingering, sad and mournful, supplemented by a sigh-like ending, as if it is a sigh for the brevity of life and the long-lasting love and hatred, with a kind of melancholy and poetry that "life is ultimately unfathomable."

The whole theater was instantly in a state of excitement because of this song.

As the song played, blue and white ripples appeared on the screen, and the words "Green Snake" spread out like ripples on the West Lake.

Then, with a loud bang, tongues of scarlet flames seemed to burst out from the depths of the screen, instantly engulfing the word "Green Snake".

The main movie has begun.

The movie begins with a Buddha statue that looks like an evil spirit and a group of people with hideous faces are carving something. When you look further away, against the red background, you can see a monk in snow-white clothes standing in the courtyard.

He was dressed in a plain white cassock, the sleeves of which fluttered in the wind. His perfect proportions of broad shoulders and narrow waist made him look like a banished Buddha against the red background.

He was tall, majestic and holy, with the seal of Acalanatha on his fingertips. His eyes were lowered and he looked at the chaos in front of him with cold and indifferent eyes.

As he appeared, there was an uproar in the theater.

A girl covered her mouth:
"Oh my god, this is because he's so handsome, right?"

Her best friend next to her is almost drooling:

"He's so handsome that he doesn't look human at all!!! What kind of god is this?"

At the same time, at the premiere, in the director's seat, Lu Zhuofeng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry:

"With such a face, what kind of movie can't get good box office?"

His biggest pity was that he couldn't ask Cheng Cheng to be his leading man.

Then, the plot unfolds, and it turns out that this group of strangely shaped people are not carving Buddha statues, but destroying them. At the same time, Fahai, played by Cheng Cheng, watches indifferently and utters one word: "People".

Then he slowly closed his eyes.

The exquisitely crafted face and facial features are presented to the audience without a single filter.

The next moment, ripples appeared on his left cheek.

The next moment, they arrived at a lake and saw Cheng Cheng standing barefoot on the lake.

He looked up:

"Demon?"

The picture showed a white-haired and white-bearded monk walking in the woods, laughing:

"Hahahaha~"

"Waves after waves, the scenery is so beautiful on a sunny day, the flowers are red and the grass is green, I run forward happily, and I will never grow old even if I walk through all the green mountains."

At this time, Fahai, played by Cheng Cheng, was also walking on the void, and soon caught up with him and walked side by side with him.

"Old Abbot, it's refreshing!"

"Morning exercises are very beneficial for cultivating inner alchemy."

"Senior, you have a youthful face and white hair, and you walk in the air, but your breathing is still calm and relaxed. Your practice has reached the pinnacle. May I ask how many years you have been practicing?"

"Hey, time waits for no one. I have only been practicing for two hundred years. How about you, young man?"

"Oh, I am so ashamed. I have only practiced for more than 20 years. I am not as good as you, the abbot. You are a fake and a swindler. I can tell at a glance that you are not a human being!"

"what?"

The next moment, Fahai leaped forward and shouted:
"You bold monster! I want you to show your true colors!"

The audience in the cinema was shocked. Damn, they were so harmonious just now, but they started fighting the next second. Is it so sudden? (End of this chapter)
