Xiao He, who witnessed the whole thing, said: Friend, I acknowledge your fighting prowess.
They even promoted "Killing Life" at the end, I'm so moved.
Thus, Su Shengxi "sacrificed himself to heaven." On the day of its premiere on May 15, cinemas in many places were already packed. "Killing Life" had the highest number of screenings and the highest attendance rate among all the premiere films.
Many viewers who witnessed the farce online couldn't help but develop a strong curiosity about the drama "Killing Life".
Zhou Bowen is one of them.
"Baby, shall we watch 'Killing'?"
He tentatively asked his girlfriend.
Lin Zhuwan frowned: "A crime movie? We went on a date, and this is what you take me to see?"
Zhou Bowen glanced at the movie poster for "Missing You 365 Times" next to him and inwardly groaned.
He really didn't want to watch this romantic drama; just looking at the trailer, he could already smell that it was going to be a bad movie. But there was nothing he could do; his darling girlfriend just loved watching this type of film.
However, Zhou Bowen looked at Lin Zhuwan, who was dressed beautifully and made up with exquisite makeup today, and suddenly had a bright idea: "Baby, you have such beautiful makeup today. I'm worried that the post-production of 'Thinking of You 356 Times' will be too sentimental. It would be bad if you cried and ruined your makeup."
Lin Zhuwan's expression froze.
Indeed, she even put on a full face of makeup before going out today, and she's going to take pictures of herself eating and post them on her WeChat Moments later...
Then you really can't watch something that's too sentimental.
Lin Zhuwan immediately shifted her gaze from the poster for "Thinking of You 365 Times" to the comedy film "Gentlemen's Rhapsody" next to it.
Hmm, no, these days comedies are all forced into being sentimental in post-production, and someone as easily moved to tears as her wouldn't be able to control it at all.
As for "The Wind Rises in Yungang"...
"Let's watch 'Killing' today!"
Lin Zhuwan decided to follow her boyfriend's advice today, reached out and took Zhou Bowen's arm, and smiled.
Zhou Bowen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Okay, I'll go buy the tickets right away."
Just then, the latest performance of "Killing Life" was about to start ticket checking. Zhou Bowen bought the last two relatively good seats and entered the theater with his girlfriend.
After sitting down, the big screen hadn't officially started showing the movie yet; instead, it was playing trailers for several movies released during the recent May Day holiday. Lin Zhuwan took the opportunity to watch the trailers and was surprised to find the movie quite good: "It looks like the quality is alright; I hope it won't be too bad."
Zhou Bowen knew that his girlfriend had been busy with her thesis and might not have been paying attention to what was happening online, so he quietly explained it to Lin Zhuwan.
"Xiao He? Is that the actor who played Mu Ze?" Lin Zhuwan's eyes suddenly lit up.
“Yes, yes, that’s him.” Zhou Bowen nodded.
"That's definitely something worth taking a look at." Lin Zhuwan thought of the refined and elegant Mu Ze, and her heart began to fill with anticipation.
After all, looking at handsome men is always a pleasing thing to the eye...
As the movie began, the two ate popcorn while intently watching the plot.
The film opens with a scene of Zhu Laoda, played by Bao Wei, standing in front of a chopping board, butchering pork.
The dim light, the crisp sound of chopping meat, the man's soft breathing...
The very first scene evokes a strong sense of unease.
"Thump—"
"Thump—"
The camera shook slightly, and Lin Zhuwan suddenly gripped Zhou Bowen's arm tightly.
In the corner of the picture, a broken mirror leans against the wall, but the reflection of the table is unclear. Looking at it vaguely, it seems that what's lying on it isn't a pig, but rather...
people!
...
As they left the screening room, Lin Zhuwan praised Zhou Bowen for his good taste in choosing a great movie, and they enthusiastically discussed the plot. But when they reached the movie theater entrance, Lin Zhuwan suddenly remembered something: "Hey? Did you see Xiao He? I don't think I saw him appear."
Zhou Bowen: "Huh?"
He thought it over carefully and suddenly realized, "That's right! I didn't see him!"
The two exchanged a glance, both looking confused.
"But the actor who played Zhu Laosan was a real beast! I was so angry watching him that my fists were clenched." Lin Zhuwan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "Luckily, the director added a post-credits scene, otherwise I would have been furious just thinking about such a scumbag getting away!"
Zhou Bowen nodded in agreement: "Indeed, and the actor playing the third brother is quite good. I just don't know who played him. His face must have been covered in special effects makeup, right? He looks really ugly."
The eldest brother is played by Bao Wei, who is quite good-looking. Liu Zehang, as a new generation of talented actors, may not be the most handsome in the Chinese entertainment industry, but he is still very decent-looking. The only one is the third brother, whose face is covered in acne. Just looking at his face up close makes you feel like you're about to suffocate.
Whether it was intentional on the part of the director or not, he gave this face close-up shots in many places, especially when the other party was raping the victim. That ugly and crazy face made men like Zhou Bowen feel extremely uncomfortable, let alone Lin Zhuwan.
So after watching the whole movie, the two of them had the worst impression of the third brother, and they also felt that the third brother was the worst and most despicable of the three brothers.
"But I'm still very curious about who Xiao He is playing, and why I haven't seen him."
Lin Zhuwan was still confused. She had seen "The Burning Heart" before and was not unfamiliar with Xiao He's face, but after watching the whole movie, she had no impression of him at all.
"I don't know either—I'll go check the poster." Zhou Bowen was also puzzled. There was a lot of noise online about Xiao He, "Killing Life," and Su Shengxi. He had been following the gossip but hadn't really looked into the character played by Xiao He.
It would be quite awkward if Xiao He ended up not showing much of his face in "Killing Life".
If Su Shengxi hadn't actually lost a lot of fans and fallen from his top position, Zhou Bowen might have suspected that it was all a marketing ploy by the production team.
"Let's go for a walk."
With questions in mind, Lin Zhuwan pulled Zhou Bowen to the poster to examine it closely.
Suddenly, Lin Zhuwan's gaze lingered on Zhu Laosan's face, her eyes glazed over. Zhou Bowen, having also seen the actor's introduction, couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"
"Huh? Xiao He is Zhu Laosan?"
As he spoke, the other audience members who had come out with the crowd stopped in their tracks.
The people who came to see the movie were a diverse group; not everyone knew the full story of the film, nor did everyone recognize Xiao He, but Zhou Bowen's words still caused a small wave of shock.
"Huh? Zhu Laosan is really played by Xiao He?"
"Yes, I just told you, but you didn't believe me."
"Frog Fun, mainly because Zhu Laosan is a real beast! I simply can't put Mu Ze's face on Zhu Laosan!"
Zhou Bowen and Lin Zhuwan were not the only people shocked that day. As a large number of viewers flocked to cinemas on the premiere day, similar topics quickly became trending topics on social media.
Xiao He did not participate in "Killing Life"
【Xiao He, this is how you play an animal】
【Xiao He and Zhu Laosan】
Many netizens who were unaware of the situation were quite puzzled when they saw these topics.
Huh? What is this? Why is someone criticizing Xiao He again? Is Xiao He being cyberbullied again?
Even Xiao He himself was completely baffled: ?
Why are they all so surprised?! Doesn't it say so on the poster? Why does it sound like he's scamming someone?
