Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years
Chapter 447 Let the Box Office Soar
The following is the plot of the movie. 💢😝 6➈𝓼Ħù𝐱.¢𝐨Ⓜ ♝🍪
This made things even more tense. Wang Xu didn't even have time to catch his breath; the plot twists came one after another.
Gao Qiqiang, a fishmonger, managed to outwit and outmaneuver a gangster boss with a combination of luck and courage. He even managed to kill him in the end.
This experience is both legendary and somewhat plausible, even Wang Xu, who has watched countless films, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
It's understandable that Gao Qiqiang turned to the dark side; he initially just wanted to run a fish stall honestly. Unfortunately, reality wouldn't allow him to have this small wish.
Wang Xu felt that he should exclude external influences.
Gao Qiqiang is actually a very capable person.
After all, he was a fishmonger who single-handedly raised his younger brother and sister, and even sent them both to university. They could afford plasma TVs back in 2000. With that kind of hard-working and resilient spirit, he wouldn't fare badly in any industry.
At this point, Wang Xu didn't care about movie ratings or anything like that.
He was completely immersed in the story.
In Wang Xu's view, Xu Jiang was, to some extent, the one who pushed Gao Qiqiang.
Sometimes, people just need a push. Before meeting Xu Jiang, Gao Qiqiang probably didn't even know he had such a decisive and ruthless side.
Later on, Wang Xu barely had time to make advances towards his girlfriend. The allure of the movie itself far outweighed the temptation of the beautiful women around him.
…………
At the end of the movie
Gao Qiqiang delivered the verdict in the presence of bailiffs.
This ended his legendary yet sinful life.
The film ends abruptly there.
In fact, it wasn't until later, when the protective umbrella was exposed, that things really changed.
The movie had no suspense, and the final plot didn't have any dramatic twists. The "bad guys" were punished, the good guys were praised, and ultimately, justice triumphed over evil.
However, Wang Xu did not get up for a long time, but remained seated.
As the voice-over pronounced the verdict, the cast list appeared. Li Haoyu didn't include any special Easter eggs at the end.
However, many audience members, like Wang Xu, remained seated, unwilling to rise. They were truly moved by the film.
After all, there have been so many bad movies in recent years. This has significantly lowered their threshold for happiness, so it's surprising that a movie they didn't have high expectations for has suddenly turned out so well.
It's not surprising that they didn't recover immediately.
At this moment, Zhang Xue tugged at her boyfriend Wang Xu's sleeve and said, "You always say that none of the idols I like are reliable, but this time they didn't mess with you again. You didn't believe me before."
Wang Xu didn't say anything; he remained immersed in the story.
Wang Xu simply nodded perfunctorily.
But in Zhang Xue's eyes, this scene showed that her usually stubborn boyfriend had finally bowed his head and admitted defeat. ☠👺 69𝕤Ĥ𝕌𝔁.Ⓒ𝓞Ⓜ 🎈🍮
Zhang Xue then pointed to the cast and crew list that was being displayed on the big screen.
Producers: Han Sanping, Wang Yu, Zhao Wenming.
Producers: Li Nanxi, Sun Bu
Director: Li Haoyu
Assistant directors: Su Qiang, Wang Zhipeng.
Screenwriter: Li Haoyu.
Photography: Jia Yuqing.
Director of Photography: Wang Wenfeng.
Movie theme song: Li Haoyu.
Wang Xu couldn't help but say, "Is this subtitle a mistake?"
Why are all the names the same as the director's?
Zhang Xue said smugly, "Of course not. This is a theatrical film, how could it make such an obvious mistake? This is already considered minor."
"His name alone filled half of the credits for his TV dramas and variety shows. Aren't all my favorite idols incredibly amazing?!"
Wang Xu nodded again, almost subconsciously.
His mind is definitely not on his girlfriend right now. The earlier part of the story was indeed very exciting, but Wang Xu suddenly felt a strong sense of loss at the end of the movie.
This sense of loss is like being in complete darkness, feeling suffocated; you try to break free, but it only gets deeper and deeper.
Gao Qiqiang is a bad guy. After being bullied, he fought his way up to become a gang leader under An Xin's protection.
He rose through the ranks step by step, and besides his own intelligence, what truly made him stand out was the "resources" around him.
An Xin is also a tragic figure. He was a truly good person, a truly righteous person. He was even willing to give up everything for the sake of truth and right and wrong.
People like An Xin have been waiting for this justice for 20 years.
But in Wang Xu's view, justice delayed is sometimes not justice at all. This is undoubtedly a good movie, and the ending is fine.
But is that really the case?
Wang Xu was swept up in the sentimentality of an artistic youth.
But her girlfriend Zhang Xue, standing beside her, didn't have such complicated thoughts. For her, the movie was indeed very good, but once it was over, that was it.
Zhang Xue thought her boyfriend Wang Xu was reluctant to leave her, since they would be going home after watching the movie.
She saw Wang Xu looking so dejected at this time.
Finally, she couldn't help but whisper in his ear, "I know you're sad that I'm so upset, so let's go to the hotel and rest for a while."
Wang Xu was still pondering when suddenly, he was overjoyed.
This surprise was so unexpected.
He no longer had time to think about the movie's ending.
Wang Xu couldn't help but think to himself, "If he could hit a home run today, he wouldn't just watch the movie twice, he would recommend it to everyone around him."
Then Wang Xu laughed heartily. ♡♢ 👌💢
He took his girlfriend's hand and ran outside.
It seems like they don't want to wait a moment longer.
……
This scene was witnessed by Li Haoyu, who was not far away.
He couldn't help but chuckle.
However, this small incident reveals a larger truth: the audience's reaction to this performance was exceptionally positive.
The other preview screenings won't be much worse.
The actual preview screenings were indeed similar to Li Haoyu's predictions.
To get the most authentic view, Li Haoyu had specifically chosen the most remote cinema. Even so, it was still about 80% full; as for other popular cinemas, the occupancy rate was even lower.
Overall, the occupancy rate of cinemas nationwide was around 90%. Although the movie title was censored, this movie was like a catastrophic hurricane.
It swept through the entire Spring Festival film season, ranking first in audience word-of-mouth and popularity.
As for the audience who watched the preview screening, they are already eager to share their viewing experience.
Apart from Wang Xu and Zhang Xue, who were in a hurry to book a hotel room, the other viewers couldn't wait to recommend this movie to everyone around them.
Those who had just finished watching were experiencing the most intense emotions.
Relaxation, reflection, awe, contemplation, doubt...
Finally, it dawned on me that the audience's admiration for the director, appreciation for the actors, and longing for the story were beyond words to express...
This is no exaggeration; Li Haoyu himself had this strong feeling on at least two occasions.
One of the earliest instances was when Li Haoyu watched "Dying to Survive." His feeling at that time was: "So we can actually make good realistic films."
South Korea has films like "Silenced" and "The Attorney," while Hollywood has films like "Dallas Buyers Club," "The Washington Post," and "Spotlight."
Now we have "Dying to Survive," and we can also make good realistic films.
Another one is "The Wandering Earth" series. Although some people joked at the time that the door to science fiction films that "The Wandering Earth" had just opened was closed by "Shanghai Fortress".
But at the time, Li Haoyu felt that "The Wandering Earth 2" would definitely happen! The sequel to this movie would surely be a pinnacle of Chinese science fiction films!
As expected, "The Wandering Earth 2" did not disappoint Li Haoyu. In fact, it was excellent in every aspect, from the story, special effects, grand scenes, small details, watchability, and taste!
Moreover, this movie is said to be equivalent to three movies in one.
Those who have seen it will understand.
Besides, compared to foreign sci-fi blockbusters, most films like *Avatar* are unremarkable except for their special effects. The *Wandering Earth* series is a film that only China could have produced.

Foreign hard science fiction films are all elitist and individualistic, with apocalyptic narratives, where the protagonist saves the world single-handedly, while the other billions of Earthlings are all idiots, the United Nations is forever paralyzed, and governments and armies are always useless.
However, Chinese science fiction films often showcase the profound strength of ordinary people from different races, countries, and backgrounds as they overcome hardships. This unique humanistic spirit is what truly touches people's hearts.
Li Haoyu glanced at his watch; it was already past midnight.
He seems to be daydreaming.
However, after today's preview screening, he witnessed the audience's reaction firsthand. Box office revenue is no longer a concern for him.
It's getting late.
Lin Miaomiao is probably already at home waiting for him to favor her.
I wonder if Lin Miaomiao has figured out the fun in it too, because she's been really clingy lately. Oh well, I'll reluctantly try out Lin Miaomiao's "Meng Xin" skin.
I must say, it's actually quite catchy.
Then let's just let the movie's box office numbers do the work.
Let's fly a little longer!
……
As expected, the online comments section has exploded.
#Actor-level acting, his performance was absolutely stunning#
#Old Mo, I want to eat fish#
#I suggest you check out Zhang Songwen; it doesn't seem like acting.#
#Li Haoyu's new film nationwide preview#
#That man finally stopped standing me up#
The movie has dominated the trending topics, and the previous trending topics were actually discussions about the movie's plot. This is understandable, given the film's quality.
But the last one was a bit speechless.
Surprisingly, everyone's attention was focused on Li Haoyu.
This shows how deep everyone's resentment towards him is.
This kind of unfinished plot is only slightly better than abandoning online novels altogether. More importantly, Li Haoyu's works are all too captivating, and his fans in each genre are basically die-hard supporters.
With fans from various fields including variety shows, dramas, and galas joining forces to criticize him, Li Haoyu successfully secured a free trending topic.
"I knew it! Where did that pigeon spirit go? Shocking! Turns out she was locked up in a fish stall filming a movie. Is this a sign of twisted humanity or moral decay?"
I have absolutely no morals: Hahaha, I saw the movie too, it was absolutely amazing. I dare say the box office for the Spring Festival season will be at least a billion yuan. But I really couldn't hold back my laughter when I saw the end credits.
"Could it be an artificial intelligence infiltrated with human features?"
"Treat yourself like a whole film crew!"
A serious literary note: "I only just realized I wasn't the only victim; it seems digging my own grave is Li Wuji's instinct. Can I make a bold prediction: will I live to see a sequel to this movie?"
The discussion got more and more animated.
I really don't want to be a director: I haven't seen the movie yet, but judging from everyone's reactions, I know it won't be bad.
Netizen abc: "We don't support idlers. You'd better hurry up and go to the movie theater to contribute your share to the Qiangsheng Group."
Many movie references were used, which shows that the movie's reputation has truly exploded.
With such a fervent influence, many people have been affected. Wang Yu is one of them; the movie has been getting hyped up every day lately, making him a little itchy to see it for himself.
"I have time tomorrow, want to go check it out? Wang Yu has also seen 'The Beginning' and is practically a fan of Li Haoyu, but an anti-gangster drama..."
After all, he didn't have a very good impression of anti-gangster dramas.
After all, it's a set topic, and the same old formula keeps coming up: forcing you to be patriotic, forcing you to defend your thesis—what kind of reflection does that have on reality?
Therefore, Wang Yu actually preferred to watch some comedy during the Spring Festival period. Just having some fun wouldn't be a bad thing, so Wang Yu was somewhat hesitant.
So he opened Douban, intending to see what other users were saying before making a decision.
A retired, ignorant person commented: "Li Haoyu is amazing, I've already watched it twice. This is a movie with a villainous storyline! It's truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
"For those who haven't seen it yet, please buy your tickets now! You definitely won't regret it!"
"As long as the standards are relaxed, China can also produce very exciting dramas! The two leading actors, who are both good and evil, portrayed their characters very well and vividly."
Wang Yu read the comment and thought that although it was a positive review, it didn't offer much substance.
Is this a case of paid reviewers artificially inflating positive reviews?
So Wang Yu scrolled down again, intending to find a long review on a high-ranking website.
He found the post with the most likes and clicked on it.
A different kind of fireworks: True realism should have both the surface and the core of reality, both the depiction of the scene and the inquiry into its roots.
This is my biggest feeling after watching it.
Two aspects of the series are particularly captivating: one is the rise of Gao Qiqiang, a triad boss, to power; the other is the exceptional acting of the cast. Gao Qiqiang's journey from a fishmonger to a powerful figure in Jinghai City is truly compelling.
He defeated numerous competitors by relying on his superior intelligence and emotional intelligence, as well as his knowledge of "The Art of War." From being bullied to being so nervous about lying that he had to eat coffee, to using the Thirty-Six Stratagems to eliminate his rivals.
Step by step, they climbed to a higher position!
In terms of character development, whether it's the protagonist or an ordinary person.
Each character is well-developed, and the plot is tightly woven.
Just like Li Xiang, he is a perfect mortal. He has the petty thoughts and weaknesses of a mortal; he has the struggles and the shrewdness of a mortal.
He even had moments of weakness and wavering, moments of selfishness and desire, but each time he made a choice that he could be proud of.
I can't do it, which is why I admire it even more.
In the end, I still like Gao Qiqiang the most. Because human nature is complex, and each of us has a "Gao Qiqiang" side to some extent. I won't spoil any more.
I guarantee you won't regret watching this movie!
This is truly a must-see series!
