This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 263 A desperate army will surely win.

"The Edge Walker 2" has received high praise from many film critics.

The tragic fate of Mann, the inheritance of his will, the darkness and despair of the underprivileged in the cyber world, and the acting skills of Chen Yuan and Lawrence have all been highly praised.

However, a large number of moviegoers did not like this story, and "The Edge Walker 2" was not as "exhilarating" as the first one.

In the first film, the protagonist David enters a low point in his life right from the start, but in the latter half of the movie, his love life, companionship, and career all take off.
Ignoring the ending where Pila is suddenly shot in the head by the cyber psychopath, it's a well-made, action-packed movie with a unique art style.

However, the second film spends an entire movie laying the groundwork for the story's main protagonist, Mann, from his madness to his death.

In this process, everyone made regrettable mistakes to varying degrees, ultimately leading the story down an irreversible path of tragedy.

The stunning art direction, the dazzling explosions, and the superb special effects all contribute to the oppressive atmosphere of this film.

In particular, the numerous explicit and implicit statements in the film have confirmed that David, played by Chen Yuan, will follow in Mann's footsteps, which is unacceptable to many movie fans.

The film's box office performance was indeed affected by the overall somber tone of the story, with a global total box office of $5.03 million.
The film grossed 5.2 million RMB in mainland China, with a large number of fans actively supporting his final work in his acting career.

In the movie, the character who caused the situation to take a sharp turn for the worse was none other than the previously most popular female lead, Lucy, who was hailed as the 'cyber goddess' by many movie fans.

To protect her boyfriend, she deliberately destroyed Tanaka's brain, attracting the attention of the trauma team.

They also prevented David from rescuing the Mann couple, which delayed things considerably.

Many moviegoers are unwilling to accept that death was Mann's fate, believing that perhaps without that delay, with David as an incredibly powerful ally, Dorio could have brought Mann to his senses sooner.
Perhaps with their fighting strength and teamwork, they can escape alive.
Although everything Lucy did was for David, perfectly fitting her character of being insecure and only opening her heart to David,
However, in the six months following the film's release, criticism of Lucy never stopped, both domestically and internationally.

Based on these negative reviews, many media outlets published articles expressing concern that the final installment of "The Edge Walker" might falter due to its plot and style.

This has indeed caused considerable anxiety among Chen Yuan's fans.

Since the film's promotional tour, Fan Binbin and Chen Yuan have basically not given any interviews, nor have there been any announcements of new works.

Even regarding the film and television adaptation of the highly praised script "Me Before You," Metaverse has not released any information.

The only information available is the occasional videos or photos Chen Yuan posts on Weibo, showing him actively engaging in rehabilitation exercises; there is nothing else.

In the comments section of his Weibo posts, you can always see people asking him if he has any new projects, even if they are not screenwriters, but producers.

But Chen Yuan remained silent.

Fan Binbin occasionally shares his daily life taking care of Chen Yuan and reposts advertisements from brands.

For nearly a year after Chen Yuan's incident, she did not work except for advertising and promotional activities that had already been agreed upon, and spent the whole time taking care of Chen Yuan.

Increasing signs indicate that the two will retire together and will not appear in any more works, which has left their fans and supporters quite disappointed and frustrated.

Even on major video websites and film and television forums, discussions about "Seven Swords Legend" are filled with sighs and regrets.

But those who truly understand marketing and communication won't be swayed by online concerns that the final installment of the "Edge Walker" series might be a flop. Some even believe that Chen Yuan and Fan Binbin deliberately kept a low profile in the second half of the year to create an atmosphere of "a desperate army will surely win."

Even if the quality of the third installment of "The Edge Walker" declines compared to the first two, it will certainly achieve even more dazzling success.

This was proven by the fact that when the trailer for "The Edge Walker 3" was released by the Metaverse official Weibo account at the end of November, it caused the website to freeze and become choppy for more than ten minutes.

The audience's interest in this final masterpiece by Chen Yuan is even more exaggerated than that in the second film!
The situation is the same overseas, with Columbia Pictures launching a very aggressive marketing campaign.

Although in the trailers released so far, David has transformed from a skinny guy into a muscular hunk,

He handled battles with other gangs with ease, showing signs of significant growth and successfully carrying on Mann's mantle. The overall atmosphere was relaxed and positive.

However, please do not let your guard down. The higher the degree of David's cybernetics, the more likely he is to develop cyberpsychosis.
Moreover, he has the personality of trying his best to do good for others and wanting to gain their approval.

It's not that Xiaoyu is deliberately trying to dampen the spirits of moviegoers, but it's best to bring extra packs of tissues before entering the cinema.

I have a feeling that the information released by the Metaverse right now is quite misleading.

Li Xiaoyu refreshed the webpage and saw that her Weibo post, which she had just published, had already received more than ten likes, reposts, and comments in just two minutes. A unique sense of satisfaction welled up in her chest.

She has just graduated from university and is now an English teacher.

She had always been a fan of Fan Binbin, and after the Weibo platform emerged, she also registered an account and started using Weibo.

Previously, I only read the daily lives and opinions of celebrities.

It wasn't until she watched "The Edge Walker 2" in the second half of the year that she noticed the ubiquitous billboards in the movie.

The majority of these ads are in English, and domestic viewers rarely notice the information contained in these ads that were selected through the 'Night City Advertising Rental' competition.

So she found the film herself, carefully extracted the advertisements from the movie, translated and interpreted them, and posted them on Weibo.

These advertisements are incredibly detailed, greatly enriching the film's worldview. Some are collaborations with real-world businesses, while others are quite satirical and absurd.

Her series of Weibo posts received a lot of love and encouragement from movie fans, and were even reprinted by many other media outlets of a certain size.

Li Xiaoyu gained her first wave of followers in this way, and she immediately fell in love with the feeling of sharing her views with others.

She then published a series of interpretations of "The Edge Walker" and other popular domestic movies and TV series, and her number of fans continued to rise, exceeding 3.

Weibo also gave her an "Outstanding Creator" profile picture frame and a movie ticket for the opening day of "The Edge Walker 3" as encouragement.

Li Xiaoyu knew that once this ticket changed hands, she could earn more than a month's salary.
If it were before, she would have exchanged the movie tickets for cash without the slightest hesitation. There's no need to rush to see a movie at its premiere; watching it a couple of days later won't hurt.

But now, she has become a film review blogger on Weibo. Although she has not earned any income from it so far, she likes to share her opinions and enjoys the feeling of having her ideas recognized.

She absolutely had to see the premiere.

(I've been quite busy during the day lately, so the next chapter will be posted a little later. I'm really sorry.)
