Chapter 393

The ninth day, Minor Heat, light breeze.

My name is Sister Reba, an entertainment star. In three minutes and one second, I will enter the cinema to watch Lady Jiang Yu's new film, but for some reason, I always feel that passersby seem to recognize me, looking at me with strange eyes, but I have clearly put on sunglasses, a mask, and a duck-billed cap, covering my face tightly. Could it be... they recognized me from my graceful figure?

Sister Reba couldn't understand.

Staring at the assistant with big eyes.

But they didn't think about it, who wears sunglasses in the middle of the night.

Encountering such a "weirdo", passersby must take a few more looks.

Yes.

In order to "lick" Lady Jiang Yu immediately after watching the film and express her feelings to them, Sister Reba chose the midnight premiere.

Generally speaking, in major cinemas, there won't be many midnight premieres for animated films; after all, the main audience for such films is children.

Not many adults would be so bold as to drag their children to watch a late-night movie.

Moreover, it's summer vacation anyway, and there is plenty of time during the day.

In addition.

It stands to reason that Lady Jiang Yu's movie tickets are hard to come by.

Whether it was *Mountain Village Old Corpse* or *Resident Evil*, if you didn't grab tickets a few days in advance for the premiere, you couldn't buy them at all.

But this time, she and her assistant were lucky. After finishing the phone call in the afternoon, they actually bought them directly, and could even pick seats. This situation is very unimaginable for Lady Jiang Yu, who is now a 5-billion box office director + screenwriter + lead actress.

"It seems that the sudden controversy about Ne Zha on the internet really has a great impact on this film," Sister Reba's fair, jade-like pretty face frowned slightly.

"The animated film market has always been poor, which is also a reason," the assistant said.

Sister Reba nodded. Animated films can be said to be at the bottom of the film contempt chain, and their status is not even as good as horror films.

For people in the industry, everyone is unbalanced. I worked hard to film a movie, and as a result, you come to grab our box office with an animation?

For some biased audiences, I spend dozens of dollars just to watch a two-hour cartoon? Are you crazy?

Thinking in her heart.

At this time.

The cinema staff began to check tickets.

Sister Reba and her assistant checked their tickets, took the 3D glasses, and entered Hall 7.

They chose the second to last row. After sitting down, the front, back, left, and right were all empty, which made Sister Reba feel very safe.

She took off her sunglasses while no one noticed, and then quickly put on the 3D glasses.

Immediately after.

People entered the hall one after another.

In the blink of an eye, half of the seats were full.

Not many, but not few.

Sister Reba secretly marveled. She knew how much impact it would have if a film was smeared like this before release, but Lady Jiang Yu is Lady Jiang Yu. Even if they were smeared like this, there were still people willing to pay for their films.

"I don't care about the controversy of Ne Zha, I'm here to watch Lady Jiang Yu's film!"

Exactly, as long as the show is fun, why care so much.

"I wonder if Lady Jiang Yu can film any new tricks out of this old theme?"

"It's hard. I guess it should still be the set of Ne Zha causing havoc in the sea, killing the Yaksha, skinning Ao Bing, and flooding Chentangguan... Speaking of which, Ne Zha is indeed quite demonic, unlike a Chan Sect immortal."

"The East Sea Dragon Clan can be ignored, Li Jing must die! In *Investiture of the Gods*, the character I hate the most is him, he has no responsibility or commitment at all!"

"I watched *Legend of Ne Zha* when I was a child. No matter what others say about him being a brat, to me, he is a young hero."

"..."

Before the film started, the audience in the hall discussed fiercely.

In this world, because there is no *Journey to the West*, Ne Zha has not yet been able to become a "traitor" in the Heavenly Court, but because of the wide spread of *Investiture of the Gods* literature, everyone has a very deep impression of Ne Zha.

Mentioning Ne Zha.

Everyone thinks of him as the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl.

Think of the Huntian Silk, Universe Ring, and Fire-tipped Wheels.

Think of his supernatural power—three heads and six arms.

Think of his master—Master Taiyi Zhenren, who has an immortal style and is extremely protective of his shortcomings.

Think of Ne Zha bullying the old dragon of the East Sea without regard for martial virtue...

And so on.

Rebellion is his label, and being unruly is his style of doing things, causing bigger and bigger disasters each time.

If it weren't for his strong backing, he would have died I don't know how many times.

"Actually, Ne Zha causing trouble has a lot to do with his original family. His father wanted to kill him as soon as he was born, and his mother spoiled him excessively. The father's disgust and the mother's spoiling, didn't that just raise a brat?" the assistant analyzed from the side.

She knew Sister Reba's purpose for watching the film, so she also expressed some of her own views.

But at this moment.

The film started.

The lights in the hall dimmed.

On the big screen, the logos of Lady Jiang Yu Studio and North Star Company flashed.

Immediately after.

The official plot began.

A Sichuan-accented voice with a serious tone rang in the hall:

"Heaven and earth spiritual energy has been gestating a Primordial Pearl for thousands of years. It greedily absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, and its power is constantly growing, but the spiritual energy it absorbs is too mixed, immortal energy and demonic energy are intertwined, and good and evil are indistinguishable."

"Master, send me and my junior brother to subdue it."

Fun fact: Master Taiyi Zhenren's cave, Jinguang Cave on Mount Qianyuan, is in Jiangyou City, Sichuan Province.

Therefore, it is very reasonable for Master Taiyi Zhenren to speak with a Sichuan accent.

However, as soon as this voice came out, the audience was confused.

Ghost, Sichuan accent came out?

"Funny, right."

"Using such a serious tone, but with a Sichuan accent, it always feels strange somewhere."

"This accent, hahaha."

The next second.

Something even funnier appeared.

I saw a big fat pig above the clouds, as if carrying a pig, breaking through the clouds and running fast.

It was only when it got closer that it was seen that he was not a pig, but a person, just very fat.

He posed a pose on the pig's back that he thought was very handsome.

"Yes, this is me, the revered Master Taiyi Zhenren!!"

He flipped off the pig's back, expressionless and cold, twisting his extremely thick waist, and walked in a model step.

"Although there is a little baby fat, it cannot hide my compelling handsomeness."

Master Taiyi Zhenren posed several times in a row.

Audience:?????

Audience:!!!!!

"Pfft! Sichuan-accented Master Taiyi Zhenren is something I didn't expect."

"Cough cough!"

"You tell me this is Master Taiyi Zhenren? I'm afraid it's Tai-Er Zhenren (Too Stupid Immortal)!"

"Not to say they are completely unrelated, but they don't match at all."

"This is the first time I've seen such a fat Master Taiyi Zhenren!"

"The key is he is also very confident."

"Hahahaha, his mount is actually a pig?"

"A bit funny."

"I'm already laughing, I didn't expect Lady Jiang Yu's comedy writing skills to be so strong."

"A bit interesting."

"..."

Xun Ge once said that if a film has a good start, it has already succeeded halfway.

At this moment, the film's start, full of humor and subverting the traditional image of immortals, instantly grabbed the audience's attention and heart, attracting them all.
