Chapter 627 626 The Ultimate Goal of Reading All Books Is to Read About Ourselves

After Liang Ling finished speaking, the somewhat aggressive boy fell silent.

The girl ignored it and looked at Fang Minghua: "Teacher Minghua, do you think I am right?"

"The speech was very exciting, even more exciting than what I planned to say." Fang Minghua said with a smile.

Bang bang bang.

Applause came from unknown corners, and then the applause gradually spread and finally resounded throughout the entire venue.

Regardless of whether you like the film just released or not, the girl's words really enlightened many viewers and made them re-examine the film from a new perspective.

Liang Ling walked off the stage happily and asked for the autographs of Fang Minghua and Stephen Chow before leaving.

When he returned to his seat, he saw his boyfriend Zhang Xu giving him a thumbs up: "Liang Ling, what you just said was really good, you know? I was the first to take the lead in applauding!"

"Really? Yeah, I'm very happy now!"

On the stage, Fang Minghua took the host's microphone and said to the audience.

"The boy just raised his doubts. Of course, the girl named Liang Ling answered it very well."

"What I want to say is that any literary work, novels, poems, essays, scripts and even film and television works, that can really move us and make us remember is that there is something in these works that can hit our hearts."

"We will see our own shadow in it, or see the longing for ourselves. While we are reading other people's stories and lamenting the fate of others, we are also looking for ourselves. We read all the books, movies and TV shows, and finally The purpose is to read myself, thank you."

The audience once again burst into warm applause.

The second night it was shown in the auditorium of Tsinghua University. Compared to YSU students, Tsinghua students were much more restrained, but more people watched the movie than YSU students.

In addition to our own school, students from Renmin University, Beijing Language and Culture University and other universities also came after hearing the news. The tickets were already sold out, and the organizers had to temporarily sell some unseating tickets to meet the needs of the audience.

After the screening, it was still the main creative staff who interacted with the audience. This time there were no sharp questions like in the dining room of Yanda University, but as far as the film was concerned, the two sides still had a lively exchange.

After the two premieres, "Guangming Daily" focused on the performance at Yanda in its supplement, which was called "the first premiere in the mainland, setting a precedent for film and television promotion and distribution in the mainland."

It also focused on the girl Liang Ling and what Fang Minghua said at the end.

"Life is a constant dislocation,"

"The ultimate goal of all the books we read is to read about ourselves." These philosophical words increased the audience's curiosity to watch the movie.

Even CCTV reprinted this news, which made the creative team of "Westward Journey" very happy.

It’s free advertising, and it’s brand-name.

These days, who can broadcast more authoritative news than CCTV?

After the Yanda premiere, Song Tangtang specially invited everyone to eat hot pot at Donghuamen Night Market in the evening. They will take a flight to Shanghai tomorrow, so everyone can relax.

Of course it’s also a celebration.

From the two-day premiere and the reviews in the newspapers, it started to feel pretty good.

The road show got off to a good start.

Taking advantage of this east wind, the "Westward Journey" road show team toured Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Huacheng, and the last stop in Xijing. The entire tour ended successfully.

The first public release of the film is scheduled for May 1st.

It's Labor Day, so it's natural to have a holiday. Even model workers like Song Tangtang are resting at home and picking up their two children.

However, Song Tangtang seemed uneasy. She who loved telling stories to her two children turned out to be absent-minded.

The story "Sima Guang smashed the vat" was repeated several times, "Sima Guang smashed all the vats." This made my daughter Ruirui very dissatisfied, and she pouted and said:

"Mom, you were wrong. The teacher said it was Sima Guang who smashed the vat!"

"Yes, yes, it was Sima's vat that smashed the vat."

"Wrong, it was Sima Guang who smashed the vat!" my daughter corrected seriously.

"Yeah. Sima Guang smashed it all." Song Tangtang said casually without knowing what he was thinking.

This made the two children even more dissatisfied. Ruirui immediately shouted to Fang Minghua, who was sitting on a deck chair in the yard drinking tea and singing: "Dad. Mom is not serious at all when telling stories today. She always makes mistakes!"

Fang Minghua had no choice but to stand up from the recliner and walk into the living room: "What's going on?"

"No, it's nothing." Song Tangtang hesitated and then said: "Minghua, tell the two kids that I have to go out."

After saying that, he put down his book, put on his high heels and hurried out of the living room, heading towards the garage.

"Tangtang, what are you going to do?" Fang Minghua asked quickly.

"I'll tell you when I get back!"

Listening to the sound of the car engine, Fang Minghua shook his head and had no choice but to sit on the sofa and pick up a book to tell the story to his two children.

"In the Song Dynasty, there was a child named Sima Guang. He was very smart since he was a child. One time, Sima Guang and his friends were playing in the backyard."

Song Tangtang had not been out for long. Fang Minghua had just told two stories with the book in hand when he heard the sound of a car outside the yard and saw her hurried in within a few minutes.

"Hey, Tangtang, what are you doing here?" Fang Minghua asked.

"I'll tell you later." After saying that, Song Tangtang looked at the two children next to him.

Fang Minghua understood immediately, told the children another story and let them play by themselves.

Watching two children playing with Demu bean sprouts in the yard, Fang Minghua lowered his voice and asked Song Tangtang: "What on earth were you doing?"

"Look!"

Song Tangtang took out two pieces of paper from her bag, and Fang Minghua realized they were movie tickets after a closer look!

"What? Going to the movies tonight? What good movies are showing recently?" he asked casually.

"Did you forget? "A Chinese Odyssey" is released today!"

"Oh my God..." Fang Minghua slapped his head: "How many times have you watched the road show? Haven't you seen enough?"

"That's different. I want to see if the attendance rate of ordinary cinemas is high and whether they are popular." Song Tangtang said.

"It's unnecessary. You can't wait for the final result? Anyway, I won't go." Fang Minghua refused.

Before this era, "A Chinese Odyssey" was re-screened. Those who watched pirated discs and videos on the Internet to know about this movie said that "I owed Stephen Chow a ticket at the beginning" and walked into the cinema.

Fang Minghua also paid 30 yuan to watch a show, even though he had watched the disc many times.

But now, it's unnecessary!

I don't owe anyone tickets!

"Husband," Song Tangtang's voice became tender again, causing the two children outside to look at their mother.

"Okay, okay, we are an old couple, let the children see the joke." Fang Minghua quickly replied.

"Okay, let's go together. What about the two children? It's impossible to bring them in to watch, right? It's not suitable."

"Send them to my mother's place, and we will pick them up after watching."

"Okay then." Fang Minghua agreed.

After dinner at 6 o'clock in the evening, Fang Minghua and his wife drove the two children to their grandmother's house, and then went straight to the Bell Tower Cinema.

But what they didn't expect was that Liu Zhenwei, who was in Hong Kong, also sneaked into the cinema.
