The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 949 - 948. I can write a 10,000-word essay.

"Tsk tsk, this scene is too hype, it’s unrealistically exaggerated."

Passersby couldn’t help but stop in their tracks, all glancing at the square, with most bystanders pulling out their phones to record the moment. Soon, clips about it began to surface on short video apps.

News about the premiere of "Typhoon" began to steadily ferment. As the click rates increased, the buzz started to shoot up.

When Yang Tiantian drove near the square, he gasped at the sight of the surging crowd.

"Thank goodness the mall has an underground parking lot... Boss, we’re not walking the red carpet tonight, are we?"

"No need, just drive the car straight into the underground parking lot, and we can take the elevator up."

Concerned for her own wellbeing, Tang Shu didn’t have the courage to traverse the sea of people in the square in high heels, especially since she had already put in a lot for the promotion of "Typhoon."

Including the travel expenses for 1500 people to the capital, Luo Lin had already complained to her about it many times.

"Director Xie said all I need to do is show up at the premiere tonight." ƒreewebɳovel.com

Tang Shu received a private message from Xie Yunqing on her way there, finding the other party’s attitude surprisingly agreeable and easy to talk to, which made her somewhat suspicious. After all, although Director Xie wasn’t known for a bad temper, he had never been this gentle.

"I remember giving you a movie ticket, so if nothing else comes up, feel free to find a theatre and watch it."

"Got it, boss. I’m aware."

The two took the elevator from the second basement level to the cinema on the 6th floor. Tang Shu, in her high heels, went to do the signing and photo shoot, as there were staff responsible for security matters, while Yang Tiantian chose to do as he pleased.

"My uncle has arrived, look, look!"

"Get ready with the postcards, we might get a chance for autographs in a bit!"

"Oh my god, I’m about to lose it, how many stars are here tonight? My eyes are dazzled—"

"Stay calm, as an uncle fan we’ve got to hold it together, this is nothing big. Brother, you can’t be like this, how are you going to hang with the uncle if you can’t take the pressure?"

"I swear this is my first time seeing a celebrity, like, a living one, and so many of them!"

Whether old fans or new, at this moment, everyone was brimming with excitement, only able to exclaim that their trip was worth it.

"I’ve decided, just because of today, I’m going to be a fan of Tang Shu for life, even if she really faked her identity!"

As soon as these words came out, many people looked over at him with a gaze that was quite... profound.

"Buddy, you’re a new fan, aren’t you?" the boy nearest to him said.

"Yeah, so what, how did you know I’m a new fan?"

"That sentence just now gave you away, brother. We’ve all seen the statement where Xu’s denied the allegations, you think we’re this calm for no reason?"

"Why, why?"

Yeah, you guys are way too calm!

The newcomer suddenly realized this fact and was quite puzzled. After all, if such a thing had happened to any other celebrity, the scene would have erupted by now.

But what was happening now? Nearly 1500 people were going in and out of the cinemas, and most of them had no comments about the controversy?

That’s too unscientific!

"Because... you can’t make premature judgments until the very last moment, especially when it involves the uncle."

The person, acting like an old hand, patted his shoulder and said with a secretive air, "This truth we’ve come to through blood-soaked experience, remember it, newbie~~~"

He: "???"

Why does he feel there’s a generational gap between him and these folks? They’re all the same age!

***

This wasn’t Tang Shu’s first time attending a movie premiere.

Familiar with the process, she followed the crowd throughout, even though she was the lead actress in "Typhoon." But this was not very important, because the story was about two undercover agents gathering intelligence during a special period, and she just happened to be the one with less screen time of the two.

Yes, she was the lead actress, but this was indeed a film with a dominant male lead.

In the large screening room that could accommodate 200 people, Director Xie stood in front of the huge screen, being interviewed by journalists with ease, creating a very harmonious scene.

Following that, Tang Shu and the male lead were invited on stage to answer a few questions, and several veteran actors who were specially invited, along with the director, offered their blessings. The screen in the screening room soon lit up.

The film officially began, and the actors’ superb performances quickly immersed the audience into the treacherous plot.

This film, which depicted the arduous journey of undercover agents during a particular era, lasted two full hours, ending with the death of the female lead, drawing tears from a large section of the audience.

Tang Shu sat quietly in her seat, genuinely unsettled, as even she was moved. She could faintly hear sniffles from around her.

Why quietly? After all, they were public figures, and everyone surrounding her were familiar faces. It would be inappropriate to sob and wail.

Outside this venue, however, the rest of the screening rooms were much less restrained due to the absence of reporters, some people even cried out loud.

"Damn, a BE, ah ah ah ah~~~~ Why, why oh why can’t I accept this——"

"Such a tearjerker, damn it, even a grown man like me has become a crybaby, Director Xie did this on purpose, right?"

"Darn it, I’m so upset, I feel like I’m falling apart, the trailer killed me!"

"Don’t get me started on the trailer! It made everything look so beautiful, the people, the scenery, the story, but then what? This is definitely the year’s biggest scam!"

"Why do stories from That Era often end in tragedy? It’s not fair, I thought Director Xie would be an exception, what a miscalculation——"

Many people shared a sentiment: Damn, had I known, I wouldn’t have watched it!

The more they watched, the more distressed they became!

But, grievances aside, no one could deny that it was a great film with depth, one that sparked endless thought and deep emotional impact among the audience, furthermore, the details throughout the story often led to moments of epiphany.

If it weren’t for the BE in the end, everyone would generously give three words:

"Awesome!"

"Can I say that after watching this, I could write a ten-thousand-word paper?"

"I’ve been itching to do it, bro, holding back my eager hands, the pen I bought was for signing autographs!"

As a result, Tang Shu’s fans held back, but the film critics in the main screening room didn’t, they swiftly picked up their tools of the trade and started writing vigorously.

Inspiration was flowing, and their pens moved as if guided by the gods.

As the end credits finished playing and the screening room lit up like day, the audience offered their applause in respect, even the most critical of critics could hardly maintain their composure.

Xie Yunqing led the main team back onstage, ready for another round of interviews.
