Chapter 809

~6 min read 1,118 words

But this time, she and her assistant were very lucky; after finishing the phone call in the afternoon, they actually bought them directly, and could even choose seats. This situation is very hard to imagine for You Mingyue, who is now a 5 billion box office director + screenwriter + lead actress.

"It seems that the controversy about Nezha that suddenly appeared on the internet really has a great impact on this movie." Reba's fair-as-jade pretty face frowned slightly.

"The anime movie market has always been very poor; that's also a reason." The assistant said.

Reba nodded; anime movies can be said to be at the very bottom of the movie contempt chain, and their status is not even as good as horror movies.

For industry insiders, everyone is unbalanced: I worked hard to film a movie, and you come to grab our box office with an anime film?

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.

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

They chose seats in the second to last row; after sitting down, the front, back, left, and right were all empty, which made Reba feel very secure.

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

Immediately after.

People entered the hall one after another.

In the blink of an eye, half of the seats were filled with people.

Not many, but not few either.

Reba secretly marveled; she knew how much impact it would have if a movie was smeared like this before its release, but You Mingyue is You Mingyue; even if they were smeared like this, there were still people willing to pay for their movie.

"I don't care about the controversy of Nezha; I'm here to watch You Mingyue's movie!"

Exactly, as long as the drama is cool, why care so much.

"I wonder if You Mingyue can film any new tricks out of this old subject?"

"It's hard; I estimate it should still be the same old set of Nezha causing trouble in the sea, killing the Yaksha, skinning Ao Bing, and flooding Chentang Pass... Speaking of which, Nezha is indeed quite demonic, not like an immortal of the Chan Sect."

"The East Sea Dragon Clan can be ignored, but Li Jing must die! In Investiture of the Gods, he is the character I hate the most; he has neither responsibility nor commitment!"

"Watched "The Legend of Nezha" when I was a kid; no matter what others say about him being a brat, to me, he is a young hero."

"……"

Before the movie started, the audience in the hall discussed intensely.

In this world, because there is no "Journey to the West", Nezha hasn't been able to become a "traitor" of the Heavenly Court yet, but because of the widespread dissemination of Investiture of the Gods literature, everyone has a very deep impression of Nezha.

Mentioning Nezha.

Everyone will think of him as the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl.

Think of the Armillary Sash, Universe Ring, and Wind Fire Wheels.

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

Think of his immortal and bone-like, and extremely protective master—Taiyi Zhenren.

Think of Nezha 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 trouble bigger each time.

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

"Actually, Nezha 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 knows Reba's purpose for coming to watch the movie, so she also expressed some of her own views.

But at this moment.

The movie started.

The lights in the hall dimmed.

On the big screen, the logos of You Mingyue Studio and Polaris Company flashed by.

Immediately after.

The official plot began.

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

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been pregnant for thousands of years to give birth to a Primordial Pearl. It greedily absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, and its power continues to grow, but the spiritual energy it absorbs is too mixed, immortal energy and demonic energy are entangled, and good and evil are indistinguishable."

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

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

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

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

Ghost, even a Sichuan accent came out?

"Funny, right."

"Using such a serious tone, but with a Sichuan accent, I always feel something is weird."

"This accent, hahaha."

The next second.

Even funnier things appeared.

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

Only when it got closer could one see that he was not a pig, but a person, just very fat.

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

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

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

"Although a bit baby-fat, it can't hide my piercing handsomeness."

Taiyi Zhenren struck several poses in a row.

Audience:?????

Audience:!!!!!

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

"Cough cough!"

"You tell me this is Taiyi Zhenren? I'm afraid it's Tai-er Zhenren!"

"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 Taiyi Zhenren!"

"The key is he is also super confident."

"Hahahaha, his mount is actually a pig?"

"A bit funny."

"I've already laughed until I'm twitching; I didn't expect You Mingyue's ability to write comedy to be so strong."

"A bit interesting."

"……"

Lu Xun once said that if a movie has a good beginning, it has already succeeded halfway.

At this moment, the movie's beginning, full of humor and subverting the traditional image of immortals, instantly grabbed the audience's eyes and hearts, attracting them all.
