"If the public continues to scold you because of this baseless slander, I will be the first to speak up for you. Of course, I will also keep an eye on you. When the film is officially released, I will take my entire family to the theater to watch it. That's all for today!"
After speaking, the 40-something-year-old man turned to leave. But, just as he was about to leave, someone noticed him wiping a tear from his eye.
Afterwards, someone ran a background check on him and discovered that this film critic had actually worked in Hollywood for many years and had even appeared on Time Magazine!
But, regardless of everything, the audience at the pre-screening were relieved. Even though they hadn't fully recovered from the film, they at least knew that 'The Ant Queen' did not disappoint them and that Tangning did not disappoint them.
Not long after, the film ended …
A group of reporters had already gathered at the entrance of the theatre, waiting to hear everyone's ridicule towards Tangning.
So, as soon as a member of the audience stepped out, the media immediately surrounded them.
Of course, the film critic that had spoken to Tangning earlier was also stopped by the media, "You've already seen the film. Can you comment on Tangning's claim that it's a domestically produced film?"
"She said it's a domestically produced film. What's wrong with that?" the man asked.
"But, the top special effects artist in the country has already stepped out to slap Tangning in the face …"
"He's top? Who does he think he is? " The man retorted. "Tell him, if he dares to say that he's top in front of me, I will answer your question."
"Are you saying that Tangning didn't lie to the audience?"
"Why would she lie to the audience? Does she lack popularity or the box office? "
"That …"
"Young lady, as a reporter, please be more positive and give Tangning more positive comments. Don't keep digging for gossip." After speaking, the man walked out of the reporters' sight. The reporters were a little confused by the man's response.
At this time, they had no idea who they were interviewing …
All they knew was, they originally thought that after watching Tangning's film, they would have a lot to complain about. But, from the looks of the interview, that didn't seem to be the case.
So, the pre-screening came to an end with the scandal of Tangning lying to the public.
But, no one stepped out to comment on their feelings towards the film. Was it good or was it sh * t?
Everyone had a secretive look on their faces. Could it be that the movie was really that bad?
No …
The few lucky fans who watched the movie came out to say, "My Ning is awesome! This is the best sci-fi film I've ever seen. After the movie ended, even a Hollywood film critic praised her. "
"Really, it's so good! My Ning is the best. "
But, in the eyes of the average person, fans had a thick layer of filters. So, onlookers assumed that there were elements of exaggeration involved and that Hollywood and film critics were just exaggerating.
Who would believe the words of a fan?
He was willing to die for his idol! Naturally, no one would believe him.
"That's enough, Tangning will eat sh * t. Her fans will say it's good!"
"This bragging is a little too much! It makes people feel very frivolous! "
"I don't think there's anything to see! Besides, didn't they say that the Hollywood team would handle the post-production? If that's the case, why don't I watch a real Hollywood movie? "
On the internet, many people expressed their ridicule towards the fans, causing them to vomit blood in anger.
But, not long after, the first review of 'The Ant Queen' was posted online.
It turned out, it wasn't that people didn't have any reaction, it was that they had to wait for time. Otherwise, they would feel that they were letting down Tangning's hard work and how amazing the film was!
"I admit that 'The Ant Queen' is the best domestic sci-fi film. If you're not convinced, then hold it in!"
"Why did you only post it a few hours later? That's because I felt that I wasn't sincere enough and that I was letting down the people behind the scenes, especially Director Qiao Sen, who passed away because of it! "
"So, after returning home, I sat in front of my computer in a daze. I'm sure most people that watched the film felt the same way as me!"
"Before watching 'The Ant Queen', I was already very nervous. Then, with the scandal of Tangning lying to the public and the fact that she used Hollywood to create special effects, I thought to myself, 'It's over.'"
"But, after watching it, I slapped myself in the face!"
"That's because I hated myself. When I heard that an actress was involved in a film, the first thing that came to my mind was to ridicule her."
"Reality has proven that Tangning is indeed the best in the industry when it comes to face slapping. I would like to formally apologize to her and sincerely ask the media to stop spreading rumors about Tangning's special effects. I would also like to ask the self-proclaimed special effects artist to return to his planet. I don't want to see him anymore!"
"That's just something that I've said. Next up, let's get into 'The Ant Queen'. What I want to tell you is what I found so amazing about this film!"
Following on, the second review …
The third review …
That was, until the film critic that once worked for Hollywood revealed his opinion … No, he didn't use words, he used a video.
As soon as this man appeared on screen, everyone could see the bookshelf behind him. It was filled with classic foreign films and some of them were films that he had participated in.
It was because of this video that the media discovered that this hidden expert had already been interviewed the previous night.
"The main reason I recorded this video is to tell everyone that 'The Ant Queen's' post-production did not involve Hollywood. How can I be so certain? It's because I've worked in Hollywood before. Also, as soon as I returned home, I called a friend in the US to confirm that Tangning did indeed take a team to the US. But, they did their own research and did not use any Hollywood team or technology. "
"I don't know how the self-proclaimed special effects artist was able to tell that 'The Ant Queen' was fake. Perhaps he has a pair of eyes that can see through everything. But, I can confidently tell everyone that 'The Ant Queen' is 100% domestically produced and has no problems at all! "
"The reason I'm clarifying here is so that everyone can look at this film without prejudice. If you have the contact details of the special effects artist for our domestically produced sci-fi film, 'The Ant Queen', please let me know. I will personally speak to him."
"Lastly … don't ask me stupid questions like whether 'The Ant Queen' is good."
