Chapter 501 Word of mouth erupts

Before the premiere of "Three Fools" was held at many universities. During the premiere, the students cried and laughed, and the response was very enthusiastic, as if they were injected with chicken blood. Therefore, Zhang Ran and the actors were relatively relaxed and were not worried that the audience would dislike it.

The process of the movie screening is almost the same as the preview. The audience sometimes applauds and laughs, and sometimes crys in a low voice. The only difference is that the students participating in the premiere are too familiar with the scenes in the movie. At the beginning of the screening, people say "Oh, this is xx Building" and "this is xx", but as the story develops, everyone enters the story, and the discussion never appears again.

At the end of the 120-minute movie, warm applause and cheers rang out in the auditorium. Thousands of viewers shouted "Zhang Ran" and "Zhang Ran" in unison, which was as popular as a superstar concert. Xiamen University students were particularly excited, not because Zhang Ran is famous or because the movie was filmed at Xiamen University, but because the whole movie was filmed with everyone's hearts and what everyone wants to say the most.

Media reporters and film critics were also a little excited. They had long heard that "Three Fools" was very outstanding, but after watching the movie, they found that the whole movie was better than they thought. This movie really touched everyone's hearts.

"We go on stage and thank the audience!" Zhang Ran said with a smile, and then walked upstairs.

Jia Niaoliang and the other starring actors nodded and followed Zhang Ran to the stage with excitement.

When the audience who were still applauding saw Zhang Ran and the others on stage, they applauded harder and used applause to express their support and love for the movie. Hearing the audience's shouts, Zhang Ran and the actors smiled and raised their hands to signal, which was received with even more warm applause.

The applause at the scene lasted for nearly ten minutes before the audience gradually dissipated.

When walking out of the cinema, many people are still savoring the details of the movie and discussing it enthusiastically.

"I'm really touched. I've watched a movie this year. The movie is not just a complaint of all educational systems, but also an inspirational movie that triggers deep thoughts."

"Yes, I was very inspired after watching the movie. This era needs such inspirational movies to let everyone see that even if you stick to your ideals, you can survive, because people really cannot be merciless like chess pieces, and they should have their own choices."

"At the beginning, I heard the name of the movie, I was worried that it was a kind of low-end, fun and boring comedy movie, but then I thought about it, Zhang Ran would definitely not make a movie with all the connotations. Now I am not disappointed after watching it, and I am very moved!"

The media reporter did not rush to leave. After the premiere, the crew had a simple press conference to accept an interview from the media.

Zhang Ran is the focus of media attention. The reporters threw the problem to him as soon as they came up: "Director Zhang, "The Explosion Drummer" talks about is the opposite of "Three Fools". In "Explosion Drummer", you tell everyone that you must work hard and work hard. Only hard work can you succeed. However, in "The Three Fools", you oppose utilitarian education and cramming education. Which one is your point of view? You are also a teacher, and you don't know what your educational concept is?"

Zhang Ran looked at the students around him and smiled and said, "What the two movies talk about is not opposite, but one. Working hard and opposing cramming education and pursuing the meaning of life are not contradictory. Yu Bo in the movie is a genius, but he is also very hard-working. If he doesn't work hard, it is absolutely impossible to succeed. Speaking of educational concepts, I expect students to become excellent actors, but to become excellent actors, you must have good acting skills. If there is no goods, you can't get a good role, so I was very strict when training them, and maybe the strictest among all the teachers in Beijing Film Academy."

"Director Zhang and "The Promise" directed by Chen Kaige has now exceeded 100 million yuan. According to this trend, it will definitely exceed 200 million yuan. Last year, you were the champion of the New Year's Eve. Are you under pressure?"

"This movie is a graduation work for our students. The main purpose is to hope that everyone can get to know the students in our class. They are all very excellent and cute. I hope everyone can like them. I don't have much expectations for the box office, as long as you don't lose money!"

"Did you watch "The Promise" directed by Brother Chen Kai? What do you think of this movie?"

"Today is the premiere of "Three Fools", so it's better not to mention other movies."

"Then can you predict the box office of "Three Fools"?"

"I think it should be able to break through 100 million!"

The reporters present curled their lips when they heard this, and no one believed the answer.

Please, you are the holder of the box office record of Chinese movies. Why are you pretending to be low-key? You will die if you are high-profile!

Zhang Ran is an old man. The media couldn't find any heavy information from him, so they turned the gun and prepared to dig out news from Jia Niaoliang, Bai Ling and others. However, they obviously made a mistake. The students in Zhang Ran's class are not flowers in the greenhouse. They followed Zhang Ran to the Venice Film Festival, went to Hollywood, and lived in the crew with many domestic and foreign celebrities. They responded freely to reporters' questions and showed good cultivation and demeanor.

The media and reporters present were amazed in their hearts. Zhang Ran taught these students so well, they had to be vivid, talk and speak, and act and act. After they entered the entertainment industry, the pattern of domestic young actors and young actresses might have to be rewritten!

The next morning, almost all newspapers and magazines on the entertainment sector in China were captured by "Three Fools", and the reports were overwhelming.

"Notes on watching "Three Fools": Tears of joy and tears benefit a lot!"

"Zhang Ran, the new banner of Chinese films!"

"There are tears in my smile, Zhang Ran told Feng Xiaogang what a high-end comedy is!"

"The Three Fools": A clear spring in the Chinese film market with bad movies horizontally!"

The media has one-sided praise, and any media that has watched the premiere praises this video.

"Beijing Entertainment News" is no exception. The title of the article is "Teachers and students should read "Three Idiots Make a Fight in Bollywood". While singing praises to Zhang Ran, the article analyzed the movie based on reality.

"I haven't seen such a classic movie for a long time. If Jiang Wen's "Sunny Days" talks about the youth of the post-60s, then "Three Fools" talks about the youth of the post-70s and post-80s. This movie is really too Chinese. Our parents all hope that their children will become successful. They must go to Tsinghua and Peking University. If they don't go to Tsinghua and Peking University, they will fail. The dean of the university told the freshmen on the first day of their enrollment that survival is a race and move forward at full speed!

Recently, China Youth Daily conducted a survey, and the results showed that most of the respondents felt that they had almost no gains when talking about their college life. From this report, it seems that the disappointment of the people or college students in college education is more specific. The ivory tower in our hearts used to be the dream of many people, but why so many people regret it after graduation. I think this is mainly related to our current learning purpose. Today, there are several college students who choose majors for their interests, and they are basically determined by the persuasion of society, parents and friends. As a result, many students do not understand basic common sense after graduation, such as Chinese history and geography, and although they know professional common sense, they do not know where to use it.

The male protagonist Yu Bo in the movie is questioning this kind of cramming education. He said that even the lion in the circus can learn to sit on a stool under the intimidation of a leather whip, but would you say that this lion is well trained or well-educated? Yu Bo is thinking about what we think, what he does is what we want to do. The only difference may be that he does, and most of us don’t have the courage.”

Beijing Times believes that "Three Fools" has opened up a new type of Chinese comedy films, which is a correction to the vulgar comedy "The Great Sage". The article reads: "Three Fools" is a comedy, with many plots and lines that make people laugh, but it far exceeds a comedy. It cannot come up with appropriate words to describe it. It is a humorous and joking but philosophical encyclopedia, which is just right. At the end of the premiere, I asked other people,

Almost everyone is saying that I am crying like a fool, crying and laughing. Tears in laughter are the highest realm of comedy movies. Since Chaplin's era, movies have begun to look for a playful way to refer to reality, which can often impress everyone the most inadvertently. I dare not say how classic "Three Fools" is, but it is definitely not comparable to the vulgarity of domestic comedy. The humor between words and conversations is rooted in this film, and smiles naturally arise."

Of course, there are also noises. Although media such as "Xinjingbao" who have a grudge against Zhang Ran did not receive Zhang Ran's invitation and were unable to attend the premiere, articles criticizing "Three Fools" were released one by one. "Xinjingbao" excerpted some bad reviews from overseas media, put them together, and published an article titled "The Three Fools" has received bad reviews in North America."

However, Zhang Ran's previous movies have laid a good foundation in the minds of the audience, and no one believes that he will make bad movies; and many viewers who have watched the preview are saying that the movie is good, so these bad reviews have not played any role, and countless people are looking forward to the release of the movie.

On December, "Three Fools" and "Riding Single" were released nationwide at the same time. The "Three Fools" scheduled 45%, "Wuji" scheduled 28%, while "Riding Single" scheduled only 21%. This schedule made Zhang Weiping so angry that he scolded the theater for being unrighteous and for having too few schedules for himself.

However, "Three Fools" did not disappoint the theaters, and there were crowds of people in cinemas across the country. The media interviewed the audience who bought tickets and found that almost all the audiences came for "Three Fools". When interviewing the audience who watched the movie, most people praised it.

As batches of viewers walked into the cinema, the movie was discussed everywhere on the Internet.

"After watching "Three Fools", I did not hesitate to list it as the best movie of that year. The serious topic of education and life, in the director's relaxed and humorous joke, I couldn't stop laughing. Of course, after laughing, I thought more deeply."

"It feels a bit like "The Death Poetry Club", but "Three Fools" is much better. When I saw "The Death Poetry Club", I felt a little sleepy when I saw "The Death Poetry Club", but I always watched "The Three Fools" very excitedly!"

"Jia Niaoliang is going to become popular now. I liked him in "The Tiger General of Yang Family". At that time, I thought Yang Liulang was so handsome. As a result, I didn't see him acting much later. Yu Bo this time is so handsome! God, please give me a Yu Bo!"

"What kind of scene did Bai Ling, who is called Ye Mei, have acted in before? I like her so much!"

Netizens praised one-sidedly, except for the movie, Zhang Ran, Jia Niaoliang, Cao Bingkun, Bai Ling and others, all received a lot of praise. Netizens think they played the roles in the movie.

"Three Fools" did not waste their own screening. With the support of the audience and good reputation, they broke out from the siege of "The Promise" and "The World Without Thieves", and achieved a box office of 20.45 million on the first day. (To be continued.)
