Gu Huai's apocalyptic film was first screened as a preview at the film festival for the judges and top 100 film critics to watch.
Before the movie was officially released, there was extensive discussion in China.
But this time is different from Gu Suisui's previous movies. Not even the behind-the-scenes footage was revealed. Only a few supporting actors posted a few posts on Weibo, saying that it was really hard for them to make this movie.
As for the content, it has not been revealed at all.
People are often interested in the unknown, and the less rumored a movie is, the more people like to ponder it.
During the film festival, many film critics wrote lengthy reviews to evaluate a film, as if they had already agreed upon it.
The director of that film is also familiar to everyone.
It’s Xiong Neng and Zhang Zhenzhen.
These two people are completely newbies in the film and television industry. They have made one movie, which was only a small hit. It has some influence at home, but it has not caused any splash at all abroad.
How can such a pure newcomer make a film with international influence?
For a time, marketing accounts and film review accounts started to criticize the film, accusing them of taking advantage of the popularity and buying the popularity.
At the same time, the reputation of Fengting Entertainment Company has also been affected.
They accuse Fengting Entertainment of simply promoting newcomers and suppressing the elderly, allowing bad money to chase good money in the entire market, making the film market not very prosperous.
It's as if Gu Huai has monopolized the world's movie market.
Gu Huai himself didn't mind much.
Xiong Neng and Zhang Zhenzhen also flew abroad, and he had fewer things to do. Sometimes he would take video calls from Zhang Zhenzhen and listen to his live broadcast.
Zhang Zhenzhen: "Brother, do you know? The scene at the film festival is very special. As long as you see someone walking out of the cinema as if they have a psychosis, it must be ours.
Now domestic movie theaters have heard about it and are vying for our premiere rights!"
Gu Huai: "Okay, you can make up your mind."
Zhang Zhenzhen was very excited: "You don't know, what about John? He has watched it three times and cried like a mess every time. He came to me yesterday and said he wanted to meet the director.
Xiong Neng and I thought about it and felt that the real director should be you."
Gu Huai also thought about it and felt that he seemed to have been responsible for directing Jiang Henian and others to deliver takeaways.
If giving food can be considered a contribution, then his contribution is indeed very great.
Zhang Zhenzhen: "Brother Huai, do you want to meet him? It seems that he has a very high status here."
Gu Huai did not hesitate: "No, just let him see Gu Suisui."
In the original book, Gu Suisui also came into contact with him, but as for himself, there was no need for that.
If he is willing to fly to Nancheng, then he can consider having a meal with him.
Zhang Zhenzhen didn't expect Gu Huai to refuse so quickly, thinking that he would at least think about it. Although it was a bit regretful, it was also expected.
"If you don't see me, then see you. Oh, by the way, Brother Huai, Suisui wants to talk to you."
Gu Huai had a little headache.
Gu Suisui took the phone and was silent for a long time before saying, "Brother, I was too radical about what happened before. Don't be angry with me."
Gu Huai was a little surprised.
But think about it, with Ji Tianyu by her side, it is indeed not unusual for her to figure it out so quickly.
Gu Huai: "I'm not angry. You should try to win a prize."
The two chatted briefly for a while before Gu Suisui hung up the phone.
She turned to Ji Tianyu and smiled: "Sure enough, I was overthinking it."
Ji Tianyu stretched out his hand towards her: "Of course, the money for our new property is still coming in. Brother Gu won't be so stupid that he can't think about it at this time. Come on, give me a hug~"
Next to him, Zhang Zhenzhen and Xiong Neng silently opened his eyes.
Xu Zaifeng covered his face.
I really don’t have the eyes to see! I don’t have the eyes to see!
The theme of this film festival is human nature.
Gu Huai's film completely fits this theme, surpassing the second disparity in votes and taking the first place without hesitation.
In second place with a huge disparity, Xu Zaifeng wiped the tears from his eyes with excitement when the host announced it, as if he was the winner.
The news that the film won the award also spread back to China.
Those who said that Fengting Company was not strong enough and relied on buying high-quality films were slapped in the face.
One of the popular bloggers sincerely posted an apology letter immediately after the movie won the award, which received more than 100,000 likes.
Everyone seems to have discovered a new traffic password and apologized to the movie.
The movie hasn't even been released yet, but it's already very popular.
Two months later, the movie was officially released in mainland China, and the premiere was already sold out.
This time it was even more popular than Gu Suisui's last movie.
Gu Huai is still unbeatable.
He walked into the cinema.
During the climax of the movie, he heard everyone burst into tears and felt no emotion in his heart.
This used to be his life, it happened every day, and there was nothing to cry about. The only difference was that the heroine in the film had the halo of the protagonist, but there was no such special thing in Doomsday.
Everyone may die at any time.
Probably because of this, I don’t miss things outside myself so much.
After the movie ended, everyone helped him out of the cinema. Gu Huai took off his glasses and felt calm.
It's almost time to find a time to leave here.
Seeing the system prompting that the energy was low, Gu Huai returned to Gu's house first.
He told everyone that he might go out soon and his return date has not yet been determined.
Father Gu agreed very much: "Young people just need to go out and explore more! Go out and see the scenery outside, and just call back when you have nothing to do!"
Gu Suisui's reaction was the most exciting: "The return date has not been determined? Brother? Where are you going? Are you not planning to come back?"
Gu Huai smiled: "How could it be? Suisui, you are overthinking this. This is my home. Can I just wander outside until I come back?"
Gu Suisui remained silent.
Gu's mother didn't agree very much: "You can just go out and have a look and come back. It will take a long time to hear what you think? A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse. I say, you should start a family and take care of yourself!"
Gu He immediately retorted: "Brother, if you want to go out and relax, just go. I also want to travel around the world! If you keep urging me every day, I will join my brother and not come back, so as not to upset people by urging me to get married every day."
Gu’s mother: “You stinky kid, do you still have any sense?”
Gu He hid behind Gu Huai and made faces at Gu's mother.
Gu Huai smiled and rubbed Gu He's head: "Okay, you should listen to your parents more when I'm not around, and don't make them angry all the time."
Gu He listened to Gu Huai's words the most, and turned to Gu Huai and said, "Yes, yes, but brother, if you go out, do you want to bring me some gifts back?"
Gu Huai: "Yes, if you want anything, just tell me then and I will send it to you."
It seems like he has to leave more money here. After all, he still has to find someone to send gifts.
Gu He didn't think about what he wanted for a while. He just said "I owe you" and went to the side to answer the phone.
