Chapter 1655: Chapter 817: Reversal

When I heard them say this, I felt my heart sink halfway, and I wondered, is this film really so lacking in merit? Later, Nakajima Hoto said, although she also disliked the long initial thirty minutes, putting that aside, she quite liked the feeling of the movie, which resonated with her a lot. I felt a bit relieved. I also considered whether we should ask the director to re-edit according to their opinions, so that when presenting it to overseas distributors, their willingness to purchase might increase somewhat?

At this moment, Chris Pine suddenly said he really liked the movie. I thought he was just comforting me, but who knew he seriously told me that the movie indeed has the various kinds of flaws that typically appear with a new director, but they do not affect the experience the movie itself brought to him. He said it like this: ’It is, actually, always very subtly talking about a person’s loneliness and how to cope with it. I don’t know if I misunderstood, but during the process of watching this movie, I often remembered when I was attending university in Denmark. I was actually often by myself and had many moments where I needed to be alone, lonely, but unable to dispel this feeling. This movie is like a confession letter for those suffering from loneliness.’

After he finished saying these words, I suddenly felt like my meridians were cleared, understanding the goodness of this movie. This movie isn’t exquisite, nor does it have the mature grasp of narrative rhythm by a seasoned creator. At first, I didn’t quite understand why Sister Xiao Yao was so supportive of this movie, almost helping the director from beginning to end to make it. With such energy, Sister Xiao Yao might have already been able to make two more films. Until Chris finished those words, I suddenly understood Sister Xiao Yao’s favoritism towards the director, and her affection towards the film.

This director named Zhu Wenju, I still haven’t met him face-to-face, but without a doubt, he will be a promising director. He possesses such outstanding talent — of course, he hasn’t fully unleashed it yet. I know he will create works in the future that are more mature and better understood by the audience, but I know, no matter what, this debut work will become his most treasured piece deep in his heart."

...

Zhou Yun’s lengthy Weibo post moved many readers, prompting them to buy tickets to see the movie that Zhou Yun praised.

However, "Treasure" had hardly any screenings left, which limited the box office growth.

Zhu Wenju was stunned after reading Zhou Yun’s lengthy Weibo post, lost in thought for quite some time.

The movie "Treasure" returned to the Weibo hot search list ten days later.

Ning Yao sent him a message: Wen Ju, Xiao Yun asked me to ask you, would you consider re-editing the movie?

Zhu Wenju saw the message, feeling dazed, and still hadn’t come to his senses when Ning Yao sent another message: If you don’t want to, that’s fine. She said she respects your opinion.

Zhu Wenju’s eyes felt somewhat warm and turned red.

He replied: Sister Xiao Yao, it’s okay.

Ning Yao replied with a smiley face: Good luck, I’m waiting for your second movie! We will try our best to let more audiences see "Treasure", to recover some loss, and after your new script is ready, I will help you find investors.

Zhu Wenju finally couldn’t hold back, and tears fell down.
