I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 188 Damn it, this movie is shameless!

In just six months, the former Feihe Cinema has been completely transformed.

It not only owns three cinemas, but each cinema also has two medium-sized screening rooms and one large screening room.

Furthermore, the projection equipment is state-of-the-art, comparable to any cinema on the market!
……

2 Month 19 Day!
The morning sunlight shines on the signboard of [Feihe Cinema].

Numerous media outlets swarmed around the entrance of Feihe Cinema, their cameras pointed at director Shen Long, who was dressed in a suit.

Shen Long was momentarily at a loss when he saw so many media outlets. In fact, he hadn't even spoken to the media beforehand...

When interviewed by the media, he stammered and didn't even know what he was saying.

As a commotion and screams erupted from nearby, and countless media outlets rushed to the other side, Shen Long realized that they were all there for President Zhou.

Zhou Yang smiled and calmly answered one question after another in front of the media.

Immediately afterwards...

Countless excited fans frantically asked Zhou Yang for his autograph!

Zhou Yang nodded patiently, signing autographs and taking photos until ten minutes before the movie started. Only then, under the protection of security captain Zhang Shun, did he enter the Feihe Cinema.

Looking at these excited female fans, Shen Long thought of the movie "Love Rollercoaster," which had recently finished its run at the box office of 2500 million yuan.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his head!
Does this mean that any movie Zhou is involved in, no matter how bad it is, will still have a market?
Of course, this idea only lasted for a few seconds before it ended.

His movies!

Premiering soon!

..............................

The screening room was packed with people.

In the back row sat a group of film critics.

Shen Long, sitting in his chair, looked at these people!
At this moment, he was extremely excited, and a strong sense of longing welled up in his heart.

This is!

His dream!

It's also an attempt to prove myself!
The movie "Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2" from June last year is a nightmare that Shen Long can't shake off.

Although the movie "The Distant Man: Reboot" is good, it was Zhou Yang's idea, Zhou Yang's script, and Zhou Yang's producer. He was just an emotionless filmmaking machine.

"The Haunted Village," this film is entirely Zhou Yang's work; he was merely an observer...

To date, all of Shen Long's success has been built on Zhou Yang's foundation.

He wanted to try it out, to see if his films could be recognized without Zhou Yang's involvement!
Even just once!
Seeing the expectant expressions on their faces, Shen Long took a deep breath and silently cheered himself on!

If this movie is well-received, then he will have the confidence to walk out of the theater and tell everyone that his movie can be officially released!
And tell everyone!

They were wrong!

Not far away, lights were flashing.

As soon as some music started playing, the movie officially began!

........................

Xu Haibo actually came too!

In the past six months, Zhou Yang's company has made a huge fuss every time a movie is released, and each time it is highly targeted!
We're going after Tianyu Media!
Perhaps they were scared off by that bastard Zhou Yang!

Perhaps it's because the company is about to go public, and they're afraid that Zhou Yang, this troublemaker, might cause some trouble at a crucial moment!

He began to show unprecedented importance to the sudden release of "The Mine," and specially bought a premiere ticket at a high price to have his assistant come and check out the scene.

Just before the film's release, Xu Haibo heard that director Shen Long had unusually suspended screenings in other theaters and even paid for the tickets himself to let them see the movie...

Many people were confused by the inexplicable commotion!

Xu Haibo, on the other hand, was on high alert and immediately came to the scene. He instructed his assistant to report any issues concerning Tianyu Media that occurred during the film to the public relations department.

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy; the more unusual the behavior, the more suspicious it seems!

Up until the film's release...

Xu Haibo was nervous!

Until the movie was released.

At the beginning of the film, Xu Haibo sensed an indescribable, unique style...

The film, titled "The Mine," has no advertisements; the screen is filled with barren mountains and the rumbling of machinery.

Then, dust filled the sky...

One by one, the miners appeared, digging for minerals deep underground!

Xu Haibo initially watched very attentively!

But as I watched!

Suddenly, a feeling of being deceived welled up inside me, and I even started to feel mentally broken!
Fuck!
He stared blankly at the miners digging for five minutes, like a complete idiot!
Then, I watched as a few of the miners smoked for three minutes and chatted about their families, including some bawdy jokes!

Xu Haibo was stunned!

Why the hell are you taking pictures of this?
I've been watching for eight minutes now, what is this movie even trying to say?
but!

Given that Zhou Yang's company has produced a large number of terrible films, yet each one manages to achieve decent box office results...

He continued reading patiently!
Then, the oppressive, closed-off close-up of the mine finally came to an end!
The camera shifts to a shantytown, and then...

They gave the coal mine owner a close-up!
"We must love our country and be dedicated to our work!"

"We will definitely follow the instructions of our leaders and earnestly implement the safety production plan!"

"Mining is absolutely not something to be taken lightly!"

"..."

What did he see?
He saw coal mine owner Li Dachun boasting righteously in front of the camera...

He boasted for a full three minutes, as if a righteous light had shone down on him, making him feel so majestic and upright that his anus tightened!
Xu Haibo was stunned!

Did he come here to give a political lesson?
What shocked Xu Haibo even more was that after the coal boss finished expressing his righteous views at the meeting, the film turned into a candid shot, and then... damn it!
What did he see?
He discovered that the movie was secretly filming a coal mine owner defecating!
Yes!

He was smoking, defecating, and spouting all sorts of things like "working hard" and "being dedicated to his job"!
Even though it's been blurred!
But that kind of...

The coal mine owner's "hmm" sounds were so vivid and utterly infuriating!

Then, the coal mine owner made a phone call...

Although they were talking on the phone, Xu Haibo's mind was filled with images of coal mine owners making "fussing" noises in the latrine...

Absolutely!

I'll fuck your grandpa!
Xu Haibo felt a chill run down his spine!
Does this movie have absolutely no bottom line?

Although the scene of the coal mine owner defecating was brief, the close-up shots of the area around the latrine lasted a full three minutes!

During this time, several scenes of miners suffering from constipation were shown in close-up for a long time!

When I saw this scene!
A moment of silence fell over the scene!
A commotion immediately followed!
Everyone stared at the screen as if they'd seen a ghost!

Film critic Liu Jiasheng was completely horrified!
I couldn't help but gag!
Oh shit!

What a tragedy! What heinous things did he do in his past life to be shown such an "artistic" film?

"I'll take care of your uncle!"

"What the hell is this movie?!"

"Dry!"

"Director, I really want to fuck you to death!"

"..."

..............................

Shen Long heard a series of curses.

I saw several people gag and then leave the screening room...

In this scene, he actually wanted the audience to focus on how tough the miners' work was on the mountain, how little vegetables they ate, and how they suffered from constipation and bloody stools...

This starkly contrasts with the lavish lifestyle of coal mine owners, indirectly highlighting class distinctions. To pass censorship, he even cut the most artistically explicit version for the domestic release...

He turned to look at the film critics.

The expressions of the Chinese film critics he had invited were uncertain!
Although I don't know what they were thinking, it was definitely not admiration...

Shen Long turned his head and continued watching the movie silently.

In the next scene, he wanted to present the dangers of coal mining from a unique perspective, gradually revealing the first mining disaster through the seemingly calm work of the miners…

The movie is still playing!

The program presents scenes of miners at work from a calm perspective...

Ten minutes of close-up shots...

This was Shen Long's proudest masterpiece.

but……

More and more audience members stood up and left, cursing and swearing.

He heard "boring," he heard "tedious"...

He longed to keep these viewers there, to patiently experience the spiritual gifts he offered through his films…

He firmly believes that as long as viewers watch patiently, they will definitely be able to feel the core message he is trying to convey through this film!
but……

Feedback from the screening room!
But unexpectedly!
More and more viewers left.

........................

After experiencing the most outrageous scene of someone defecating.

Xu Haibo was already sweating profusely from watching!

But Xu Haibo gritted his teeth and continued watching!

Next!

For more than ten minutes, the monotonous family gossip drove him crazy!

There's no main storyline, no main character, and no real point of entry...

It's all about miners going to work, mining, and then going to find prostitutes and chatting about which one is prettier...

Interspersed throughout the scene were scenes of coal mine owners eating meat and drinking soup with gusto!
The camera also occasionally captured the scenery on the mountain!

They even gave a close-up shot of an ant being stepped on and killed!

It's so outrageous it's unbelievable!

Oh shit!

Is this a movie that humans could make?

Then, after about ten minutes of background action, the movie finally got some plot!

It looks like the mine collapsed...

Someone was crushed to death!

Then, a large group of people rushed up to cause trouble for the coal mine owner...

Just when Xu Haibo thought the film was about to delve into class-based themes and begin some satirical scenes…

Oh shit!

The movie showed the coal mine owner paying 100,000 RMB in compensation, and then the family members took the money and left!

then……

The insane miners have started mining again...

Digging day after day!
Digging year after year!
I'll fucking shove your mother's ass!
Xu Haibo lost his composure after watching mining for twenty minutes!
