A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 72: Martial Arts?

[Hey, did everyone buy their tickets today?]

[Got mine. If this movie wasn’t produced by Tianwen, I wouldn’t have dared to have any expectations at all.]

[Then you got your hopes up too soon. Didn’t you notice who the screenwriter and director are?]

[It’s someone named Jiang Qin. So what?]

[Nothing’s wrong. The problem is she’s a singer-songwriter. Forget about her crossing into a new field—she’s uneducated. And even if she did go to school, how good could the teachers on a Barren Star be?]

Who would go to a Barren Star to be a teacher unless they were the worst of the worst?

If things went south and a horde of Alien Beasts breached the city, almost no one on the entire planet would survive.

So, any Beastman assigned to a planet like that is either a native, has offended someone important, or is a criminal.

Not everyone checks the trending topics every day.

Some people are more focused on movies or TV, so most don’t know that Jiang Qin is a singer-songwriter.

When they first saw the screenwriter and director’s name, it just felt familiar.

They thought she was a rookie from the directing department, not someone who had crossed over from a different field...

And a female, at that...

It’s not that females can’t be directors, but they are very rare—the ratio is probably about 100 to 1. After all, few females are even willing to work, let alone become a director.

There are quite a few female screenwriters, though.

Especially pure human females. They’re amazing at writing those "pet-like" romance stories.

The plots are usually about some high-ranking official, a rich young master, or a superior male who doesn’t want a partner, so he finds a pure human female through other means, like a sugar-daddy arrangement or something similar.

Then, after a lot of angsty back-and-forth, they finally fall in love.

A million words of drama omitted in between.

The ending is usually that the pure human female gives birth to a few pure human or Half-beastman cubs for the male, then dies before she’s even fifty.

The male is left to endure nearly a hundred years of solitude for her sake before he finally passes away.

For Interstellar People, these kinds of deeply angsty romance plots are quite appealing.

They are especially popular among low-ranking females.

Who hasn’t fantasized about a High-level male falling for her personal charm alone, ignoring her Spiritual Power Level, and marrying her?

But in reality, the males and females of this world are all very pragmatic.

That’s why these kinds of trashy, addictive dramas are so popular.

But Jiang Qin felt it wasn’t melodramatic enough; the plot in the middle was too simplistic.

Compared to the dramas from her Earth—with the kidney-stealing, heart-gouging, ectopic-pregnancy-transplanting, and "everyone-will-be-buried-with-me"-threatening plots—the Interstellar melodramas were just too tame.

So she silently made a note of this genre, remarking that she could dabble in it in the future.

After many days of heated discussion on the Star Network, July 25th finally arrived.

The movie was released at ten o’clock.

It was available for viewing in physical theaters or online holographic theaters.

The ticket price was 88 Star Coins.

A very low price.

Jiang Qin also went to a physical theater to watch it with Xie An’an and Shi Lichuan.

It was, after all, the first movie she had made with her Superpower, so she had to show up to support her own work.

In ancient times, a woman like Liu Yue’e would have been attacked by many for not being virtuous, magnanimous, or gentle.

But to the Interstellar males, a female like her was both charmingly mischievous and tender—absolutely adorable.

But when they watched Chen Jichang, they frowned the entire time.

The males who preferred a more aggressive style couldn’t understand the appeal of a male who was so timid and cowardly—even more so than a mouse.

For a male like that to marry such a beautiful female was one thing, but he even looked down on her!!

If they weren’t in a theater and fully aware this was just a movie, they probably would have invited the male lead to the PK arena for a "chat."

However, during the immersive holographic viewing, they also discovered many details.

For example, during the street scenes, they could walk around freely. Some people would leave the main character’s perspective and switch to a tourist’s view to wander about.

The items at the small stalls were all lifelike and full of detail, completely different from a generic template background.

As one of Jiang Qin’s die-hard fans, Wen Jiaqi had known about the movie’s release for several days.

Jiang Qin’s account, which was usually just for releasing new music, had interacted with Tianwen Entertainment, and Wen Jiaqi had also seen the director’s name.

This just proved that the Jiang Fans’ information network was really lagging behind.

To think they didn’t even know Jiang Qin could also write and direct, and had even secretly finished filming and releasing a movie.

It was outrageous.

Before she even had time to ponder why her idol was so multi-talented, people were already attacking Jiang Qin again.

So, she and the other Jiang Fans in the group chat moved the battle to a new front.

From the music world to the film industry, the Jiang Fans were truly formidable. Despite their small numbers, they held their ground against so many people, controlling the comments section so effectively they could rival a professional online army.

Anyway, regardless of whether Jiang Qin’s movie was good or not, she was determined to support it. Not only did she support it herself, but she also snatched up twenty tickets directly.

She sent one to her parents, uncles, aunts, siblings, and grandparents.

If she hadn’t been worried that buying too many would leave others without a ticket, she probably would have bought even more.

It had to be said, the Jiang Fans were very considerate.

Although there was a lot of booing on the Star Network, the "Ancient Era Drama" tag still attracted quite a few people.

Even many people from the Ancient Culture Research Institute bought tickets today.

After all, Jiang Qin did have some profound knowledge of ancient culture, as evidenced by her continuous storytelling.

Wen Jiaqi chose the online, immersive holographic viewing experience.

It was like she had become an invisible person participating in the film.

In the opening scene, she was stunned by the female lead’s beauty.

There were basically no ugly people in the Interstellar era, but the female lead’s beauty wasn’t just in her features—it was in her bone structure and her aura.

She loved the female lead’s outfit and appearance, especially the dress she was wearing, with a blue ribbon draped over her arm.

When the female lead moved, she was breathtakingly beautiful, and even more so when she fought.

What surprised Wen Jiaqi the most was that the female lead knew Martial Arts!

Interstellar females only had Physique enhancements, and even those came with limitations.

Therefore, no female could fly through the sky like Liu Yue’e, let alone match her fighting skills.

Most importantly, this movie proved a record from an ancient book in her family’s collection!

The record stated that in ancient times, people could cultivate Martial Arts, allowing them to fly through the sky and burrow into the earth, move mountains and fill seas, and even kill with a plucked leaf.

This record had never been widely accepted.

Because no one believed that a pure human body could unleash such inhuman power.

Perhaps it was all just fantasy, not fact.

Professors at the Ancient Culture Research Institute believed that during the cold weapon era of ancient times, people lacked the conditions to discover high technology, making it impossible for them to fly through the sky and burrow into the earth.

It was only in a later ancient period, after technology began to develop, that airplanes were invented, and people finally realized the fantasy of flight.
