Chapter 187: Good movies, bad movies

With the blessing of phenomenal films such as "Twelve Warriors", "Groundhog Day", "Full of Gold and Jade", "One Man, Martial Arts", etc., Peng Yichen, who has won the titles of "Phenomenal Newcomer Actor, Director, and Screenwriter", "The Most Mysterious Chinese Rising Star", "Venice Film Festival Actor" and other titles.

His popularity among Chinese fans is definitely far greater than that of traditional media, although he is far from being as good as Chen Guozhong, Zhao Jianguo and other veteran directors and top actors.

But among the younger generation of filmmakers, his popularity has always been at the top.

And Yu Jing, the "queen of movies", has always been loved and welcomed by young fans, and now Peng Yichen and Yu Jing are on the battlefield at the same time to shoot an anti-war movie with a comedy tone.

Even though it's a main theme movie, young people are rushing to the cinema to watch it

There are also many middle-aged people who are particularly interested in anti-war and anti-war movies, and they also choose to watch this movie with their families during the Mid-Autumn Festival as entertainment during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Therefore, although "Beautiful Life" has been questioned in the media, it relies on Peng Yichen's popularity and excellent promotion.

On September 25th, there are still thousands of movie fans who are willing to buy a movie ticket to the cinema for this movie.

They just want to see if this "most mysterious movie actor" can continue his miracle.

The media that attended the premiere also prepared two press releases in advance.

One press release was headlined, "It's Just a Farce, Peng's Miracle Ends."

Then they can lash out, ridicule, hot-headed young directors, actors, aspire to the faces that he once slapped the media.

In the eyes of these traditional media, this is a high probability thing.

The title of the second press release was simple, "At this time, a classic theme anti-war movie".

But in the eyes of these media, the probability of this situation is very low, and there are 80 main theme movies shot in China in recent years, if not 100.

Ninety-nine percent of them are boring didactic films.

Peng Yichen, a young man, wants to change the idea that the main theme movie is boring and rejected by fans through comedy, which can be seen by these media.

But this is an anti-war movie, and none of the anti-war movies that have been filmed in this world since the end of World War II to the present have been shot in a comedic way.

There is no precedent for successful filming, and you want to succeed as a young man who is only 23 years old?

Sure enough, it's 'hairless on the mouth, and the work is not firm'!

So, among the options of these media and film critics, there is no option of "this movie is not very good or bad, it is decent".

They are ready to teach this young boy a profound lesson to this young boy who does not respect the right to freedom of media interviews, never gives them the opportunity to interview, and keeps slapping them in the face.

……

September 25, the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.

The night in Kyoto is still charming, but the full moon can only be faintly seen in the outline, which dilutes the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Movie fans, audiences, media, and film critics all set off to the cinema to prepare to watch Peng Yichen's latest "Beautiful Life" for the first time.

The number of screens scheduled for the premiere of the film reached 8,500 screens.

It ensures that in every cinema in major cities in China, there is at least one screening hall playing "Beautiful Life".

Outside a movie theater in Shanghai, Wang Jiating, a loyal female fan of Peng Yichen, was wearing a small pale pink windbreaker.

Standing in front of the poster wall in the theater, looking at the warm poster of "Beautiful Life" on the wall.

She looked at the line "Director: Peng Yichen". After a long time, he looked away.

Then, she looked at the promotional slogan on the poster - "Peng Yichen and Yu Jing's 'husband and wife' partners, Peng Yichen's sincere work, are you ready to laugh with tears?"

She couldn't help but smile slightly, with tears in her laughter?

I hope that Peng Yichen, an idol, can really dedicate himself to a main theme movie with tears in laughter.

After reading the poster, Wang Jiating went straight to the ticket collection window for online pre-order.

When she finished taking the ticket and was about to enter the theater, she suddenly saw another poster.

Yu Jing and Peng Yichen kissed together, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous of this woman, but quickly shook her head self-deprecatingly.

Walking into the screening hall, Wang Jiating followed the dim light and carefully looked for her position.

She looked left and right, paying attention to the seats in the auditorium.

The 500-seat screening room is now almost full, with only some of the worse seats in the back row still empty.

She found her seat and sat down, and the movie would not start until a moment before the screening room buzzed, and a couple to her right were discussing Peng Yichen's film.

"Qingqing, let me tell you, this must be a bad movie. It has been said in the media that there has never been an anti-war film that has been a comedy for so many years. Peng Yichen will definitely be planted in this movie this time. ”

A curly-haired boy who looked to be in his twenties was talking.

His tone was very affirmative, and he said to his girlfriend seriously: "I heard that Peng Yichen took this movie this time just to repay the favor." He didn't care about it at all, he just fooled people. It's a full 2 hours long, and I'm sure I can't see half of it, and we'll all be asleep. Qingqing, we should go to see the "Iron Lion" directed by Qi Bin, which is a big production with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars......"

Listening to him babbling about how Peng Yichen's movie was bad, Wang Jiating couldn't help frowning, but didn't say anything.

At this time, I heard the boy say: "Qingqing, I don't understand how you like this guy named Peng Yichen, isn't he just handsome and has made a few movies?

"Please shut your mouth!" Wang Jiating said loudly: "If you don't like this movie, you can leave immediately." Peng Yichen is about the same age as you, and he is now a Venice actor. If you can't do something like him, what qualifications do you have? ”

The boy looked at her blankly, quickly reacted, and said angrily, "I'm talking to my girlfriend, does it have anything to do with you?"

His girlfriend pulled him and said impatiently: "Don't argue, Liu Qi, I want to watch a movie!"

Wang Jiating looked at this man, and when her girlfriend said a word, she honestly sat back in her seat and couldn't help pouting.

She looked at the big screen where the movie trailer advertisement was playing, as if comforting herself, and said softly: "Peng Yichen will definitely not let me down." ”

In most of the theaters of "Beautiful Life" in China, Peng Yichen's fans are also silently looking forward to it in their hearts, they believe that Peng Yichen will once again bring them the miracle of light and shadow, so that they can once again experience the charm of classic movies.
