The premiere was over. At this stage, apart from publicity and marketing, they had to wait for the final feedback from the market. There was nothing they could do.

The 8% screening rate was annoying, but it didn't make them sleepless. Xu Rui slept well after returning home, but he couldn't accompany Yan Ran the next day because he had to go to a party. The nanny car came to pick him up early in the morning.

Sitting in the car, Xu Rui opened the ticket booking app and randomly checked the showtimes of "Lost on Journey" in several theaters, and found that the attendance rate was less than 50%.

He looked at the ticket sales of other films and found that they were all similar. Then he remembered that today was the morning of the first day of the holiday. Most people might be sleeping in, but not everyone was like him, like a hardworking little bee.

Lu Ziliang was looking through the memo to avoid missing anything. If he knew Xu Rui's thoughts, he would definitely throw his phone in this guy's face.

...

Wang Jingzhong and Zhang Shuqin were a college couple. They were in the same city but not in the same school, which was only slightly better than a long-distance relationship.

As soon as the National Day arrived, the two of them couldn't wait to get together and prepare to stick together for a few days. Unexpectedly, they had a disagreement on the first activity of the meeting.

Before they arrived at the cinema, the two people who were checking the ticket information on their mobile phones started arguing.

"Let's watch "Goodbye Roommate", it must be good." Zhang Shuqin took the lead in proposing.

Wang Jingzhong disagreed: "Let's watch "Rise of the War", a tribute film with many stars. The film directed by Kuang Dafei is 99% a bad movie."

Zhang Shuqin was dissatisfied: "What's bad about it."

Wang Jingzhong said: "The movies he directed have no score higher than 6 points on Douya.com. They are melodramatic and vulgar. If you don't like to watch anti-Japanese war movies, let's watch "Lost on Journey", a comedy."

Zhang Shuqin snorted: "Dounya.com's rating is not accurate. Why are melodramatic and vulgar movies still box office, and some people still want him to be a director. Tell me."

"It's because there are girls like you who like melodramatic and vulgar movies to pay for him!" Wang Jingzhong complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, otherwise there would be a bloody incident on the street.

After thinking for a while, he suggested: "How about watching two movies? Anyway, we have nothing to do today. Whoever chooses a bad movie will have to agree to one condition of the other party. How about it?"

Zhang Shuqin is not stupid. The quality of tribute films is generally guaranteed. Besides, she doesn't like to watch anti-Japanese war films. She immediately said: "Okay, then watch "Goodbye Roommate" and "Lost on Journey."

"Okay."

After the agreement, neither of them gave in. They bought tickets and rushed into the theater.

When they arrived, a theater playing "Goodbye Roommate" had just finished the screening. People walked out in groups of three or two, and from time to time they could hear people discussing the movie.

"Wow, what a terrible movie, the ultimate melodrama!"

"How can this be a commemoration of youth? One-night stands and abortions are also called commemorations of youth? How did this movie pass the review? Someone must have been above me!"

"It feels quite realistic."

"If there is an award for destroying worldviews, Kuang Dafei is definitely the best choice."

Wang Jingzhong said proudly: "Do you regret it?"

Zhang Shuqin still refused to accept: "Didn't someone say it was quite realistic!"

"..."Wang Jingzhong wanted to ask, do your ears have filters, but he heard this sentence.

The tickets were already bought, and the refund time had passed. He didn't plan to struggle, and resigned himself to following into the theater.

The next two hours opened Wang Jingzhong's eyes. He only had one feeling in his heart, that is, how can people do this?

A had a boyfriend who insisted on going to the bar to test her charm. When she tried, she got pregnant. A's boyfriend knew about it, and B went to comfort her and slept with her. C asked someone to write her graduation thesis for graduation, and got together with the person who wrote it for her. D, in order to leave no regrets, mustered up the courage to confess to the married mentor he had liked for four years.

"This is definitely a film that Kuang Dafei has taken to the extreme of melodrama and vulgarity." Wang Jingzhong turned sideways and asked his girlfriend, "Why is this film called "Goodbye Roommate" and is also labeled as a youth inspirational film? Is it crazy?"

Zhang Shuqin was also a little bit unacceptable to this film and said awkwardly, "Maybe there will be a reversal later."

The two of them were patient and watched to the end. The story did not have a big reversal, but the four girls learned lessons from their own behavior, recognized themselves, and finally absorbed these experiences as nutrients and stepped into society with this absurd youth memory.

At the moment the lights in the theater came on, Wang Jingzhong complained without hesitation: "Wow, the theme was forced to be sublimated in the end just to pass the review. This movie should not be called "Goodbye Roommate", but "University Negative Teaching Material".

Do you admit that this is a bad movie? This movie Douya can get 5 points. You can ask me to do anything!"

Zhang Shuqin snorted: "What you want to watch may not be good, maybe even worse."

Wang Jingzhong said happily: "Oh, you said this, you have already admitted that this is a bad movie. Don't worry, no matter how bad my choice is, it won't be this bad."

As he said, he took out his mobile phone to book tickets, and found that there were very few screenings when he looked for it: "Why are there so few screenings?"

"It's not good." Zhang Shuqin was not interested in the two leading actors of "Lost on Journey", "Why don't you go to see "In Depth"? "

"No, just this one, book the tickets." Wang Jingzhong booked the tickets for the next show without saying a word, "Let's go out to buy some water and go to the toilet. There is still more than an hour, and we can also go shopping and have lunch."

"Let's go." Zhang Shuqin reluctantly agreed.

After shopping in the mall for an hour, both of them felt a little tired. They returned to the cinema and sat down, no longer having the energy they had in the morning.

Zhang Shuqin held the drink and bit the straw: "If it's still a bad movie, today will be a failure. What are you doing?"

Wang Jingzhong held his mobile phone: "I am giving a negative review for "Goodbye Roommate"."

After a while, the lights went out and the video started playing.

There were a lot more people in the afternoon. The theater they were in was not full, but the occupancy rate was over 70%, and the atmosphere was not deserted.

As the video played, bursts of laughter rang out. Wang Jingzhong and Zhang Shuqin, who were a little tired, also regained their energy and laughed very happily.

"I can't help it anymore. I laughed so much that I burst into tears. It's too funny." Zhang Shuqin stretched out her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes.

Wang Jingzhong said proudly: "How about it? The movie I picked won."

"Hey." Zhang Shuqin said firmly, "It's just a little bit better."

"No matter how much better it is, as long as I win." Wang Jingzhong said with a smile, "You won't be a fan of 'CP at First Sight'. This movie was made by Yan Ran, and the screenwriters are herself and Xu Rui."

Zhang Shuqin is indeed not a fan of "First Meter", but Xu Rui knows it: "Isn't Xu Rui a singer? Can he also be a screenwriter?"

"He is talented. He was the screenwriter for "The Night the Comet Came" and won the Best Screenplay Award at the film festival, so there is no way this film could be bad."

When Zhang Shuqin heard this, he immediately said: "So you tricked me and the bet is invalid."

Wang Jingzhong argued: "Oh, how can this be done? No, absolutely not!"
