I was rejected when I wrote a song, but I became a king on my debut.

Chapter 308 Your name is Charlotte!

With the arrival of July, especially on July 1st, many summer movies have been released online. Starting this month, all summer movies will begin to hit theaters one after another.

On July 1st, the most popular movies are "Legend of Immortals and Demons" from Gu Tang Entertainment and "Gunfire Charge" from Xingguang Entertainment. These two movies are big productions with big casts, so they are the most anticipated movies released so far.

As for Zhou Yu’s movie "Charlotte's Troubles", although it is quite popular, it is still far behind these two big-budget movies.

Although Zhou Yu and his team have been promoting the film vigorously, people are not optimistic about Zhou Yu's pure comedy because the comedy films in recent years are so bad. In fact, many people who have watched the movie and made reservations for the movie are Zhou Yu's fans.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yu's movie ranked fifth in the pre-sale box office. It is purely supported by Zhou Yu's fans.

However, because Zhou Yu’s movie was released today, many people in the circle are helping Zhou Yu promote it.

For example, Director Jiang Dan, Director Hong Tao, Director Chen, and Teacher Chen Mo are all posting on Weibo to help promote the film.

Even though Zhou Yu's movie is not ranked very high in the box office, the online publicity is quite popular. Moreover, many people think that the publicity of this movie is more intense than that of the two movies of Gu Tang and Xingguang Entertainment.

Zhou Yu, Yang Qian, Wen Shiyi and Penguin, with so many big directors helping with promotion, it's really no worse than the two major companies.

However, it is precisely because of such a fierce publicity campaign that everyone's attention to Zhou Yu's movie is particularly high.

But the higher it is, the more many people in the circle think it is better. After all, the more popular Zhou Yu's movie is now, the more painful it will be for him if the performance is too bad.

On July 1st, there were relatively few people watching movies at night, and most of them went during the day.

So, on the afternoon of the 1st, Lin Jiajia went to the cinema with her friends to watch Zhou Yu’s first directorial work.

As a loyal fan of Zhou Yu, she naturally wanted to support her idol's first movie.

"Jia Jia, after watching those promotional clips online, what do you think of Zhou Yu's movie?"

The good friend sat next to Lin Jiajia. People were arriving at the cinema, but not many. It was nothing compared to the two popular movies of the same period, "Legend of Immortals and Demons" and "Gunfire Charge". Their friends went to see these two movies, and they were all sold out.

As for Zhou Yu's "Charlotte's Troubles", the theater was only half-filled, and its popularity seemed to be just barely acceptable.

“I believe in my idol’s abilities.”

Lin Jiajia is very confident in Zhou Yu's talent, and Zhou Yu was also the same when he switched to being a screenwriter and an actor. No one was optimistic about him, but he was the most competitive and always brought surprises to people.

Thinking back carefully, it seems that Zhou Yu has been going smoothly since his debut, without any setbacks. And every time Zhou Yu changes careers, it is very successful. Even though everyone is not optimistic about making a movie this time, Lin Jiajia feels that this will definitely bring her surprises.

In the current situation, all I can say is that you will know the result after watching the movie.

When the lights in the cinema went out, the movie officially began.

With the appearance of the classic golden dragon logo, the cinema gradually became quiet, and slowly, the plot began to unfold.

The scene opens with teacher Wang Teng and his brother-in-law driving around outside the hotel.

As a luxury car drove into the hotel gate, it circled the entrance for several times without stopping, which also attracted the attention of the students in the room.

"I said brother-in-law, that's enough. I have to go back quickly."

"My girlfriend's 60th birthday today, and she didn't even know I drove out."

Charlotte, played by teacher Wang Teng, was wearing a dress and sitting in the back, observing whether her old classmates noticed her.

"Then drive slower and let's go around two more times."

Seeing this scene, many people in the cinema couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, this brother-in-law is a gigolo."

“It looks a bit interesting at the beginning.”

"Keep watching."

……

Many people were whispering that they thought the beginning was pretty good, at least there was no bad plot.

As the wedding scene progressed, many female viewers were excited when Yuan Hua, played by Zhou Yu, appeared on the stage.

"Wow! So handsome!"

"Indeed, Zhou Yu looks really handsome in a suit!"

"Why can't a man like this have a relationship with me?"

……

Lin Jiajia looked at Yuan Hua, played by Zhou Yu, who came to the wedding in a suit, and was excitedly discussing it in a low voice with her good friend.

"Should I say this? My idol is really handsome."

"I also think that Zhou Yu can obviously make a living with his looks, but he has such strength."

As the plot progresses, Teacher Wang has entered the scene.

"Teacher, do you still remember me? I came first in the winter long-distance race that year."

Teacher Wang looked embarrassed: "First..."

"During the Chinese New Year that year, my father gave you a Sony radio."

When Teacher Wang heard this, he suddenly realized: "Zhang Yang! That teacher can't forget it."

Yuan Hua, played by Zhou Yu, raised his glass to toast at this time: "Teacher Wang, my father gave me a TV."

"Yuan Hua, you are still such a handsome guy."

"Teacher, I gave you a calendar."

"The teacher doesn't remember that."

As soon as this scene appeared, everyone in the cinema burst into laughter.

Although it is only the beginning, Lin Jiajia feels that Zhou Yu’s comedy is really good.

At least from a comedy perspective, the jokes at the beginning are quite dense, and they are not clichés.

As the plot progresses, Charlotte has returned to high school. The scene and the color of the picture change instantly. The expression of this camera language seems to bring everyone back to that era in an instant.

"Huh? This is actually a rebirth drama?"

"This plot is so familiar, as if I was reading the urban rebirth novel I read before, haha."

"Hey, that's interesting. There's actually an element of rebirth in it."

"No, this might be a dream of Charlotte."

……

This plot immediately aroused everyone's curiosity. From the current perspective, the plot is still quite good. At least it is enough to make people watch it, and even make them smile inadvertently.

Judging from these, this comedy is qualified.

At this moment, somewhere else, Xu Shan was also watching Zhou Yu's "Charlotte's Troubles" in the cinema. As a well-known film and television commentary blogger, he naturally wanted to watch the movies in this summer. Today, he had already watched "The Legend of Immortals and Demons" by Gu Tang Entertainment and "Gunfire Charge" by Xingguang Entertainment. This "Charlotte's Troubles" was the third movie he watched today.

To be honest, the first two movies were indeed big-budget movies, with good plots and special effects. As for Zhou Yu's pure comedy, he thought it was OK, at least not as bad as the previous comedies.

From the beginning of the movie to now, the whole movie is full of jokes, and none of them are vulgar or clichéd.

Especially when it came to the part where Charlotte returned to high school, Xu Shan was also a little surprised.

“Does this really include the element of rebirth?”

All of a sudden, it gives people the feeling of reading an urban rebirth novel.

And judging from the plot and the language of the camera, Zhou Yu's shooting skills and techniques are very good, and he doesn't look like a new director at all. This also shows that Zhou Yu is extremely talented and capable in filming movies.

Xu Shan was watching the movie. When Xia Luo forcefully kissed the school beauty Qiu Ya, he felt a sense of pleasure in his heart.

"Hey, this is really similar to the urban rebirth novel."

He even felt that Zhou Yu had made this movie after reading those urban rebirth novels.

"In my dream, how could I be bullied by you?!"

"Zhang Yang, give me the fire."

Zhang Yang looked flustered: "I... I don't smoke, where did the cigarette come from?"

This scene made the cinema burst into laughter. Xu Shan also couldn't stop laughing, especially when he saw Xia Luo taking the lead in fighting with Teacher Wang, he felt it was very cool.

The moment Teacher Wang awkwardly took off the schoolbag from his head, Dashachun's foot, which was about to step down, stopped instantly and he looked at Teacher Wang with embarrassment.

"Da Silly Haru! What are you doing?!"

"Teacher Wang... Teacher Wang, do you think my shoes look good?"

……

"Haha! Zhou Yu did a great job. This comedy is really funny."

"You know what, it feels like I'm reading a cool urban rebirth novel, haha."

"Indeed, I didn't expect that Mr. Wang Teng would be so good at making comedies. It's so funny."

"Yuan Hua, played by Zhou Yu, is also quite funny, haha."

……

As the plot develops, the scene comes to the point where Charlotte comes out of the hospital and finds herself reborn in the past. When the music with a sense of time sounds and the familiar buildings of the last century really touch many people deeply.

And when everyone saw the scene in the principal's office where Charlotte's mother tried to ensure that Charlotte could stay in school, everyone found it funny but also a little sad.

This is a mother who can put aside her dignity for the sake of her children...

Xu Shan watched this scene, and seemed to see something different from Zhou Yu's pure comedy, and saw the warmth hidden under the comedy...

The plot is slowly advancing, and as Xu Shan watched, he felt that it was getting more and more exciting, and the plot was fascinating. Especially when Charlotte started copying songs, the feeling of urban rebirth became stronger and stronger, and the plot really felt more and more like an online novel.

The scene changed, Qiu Ya appeared upstairs, and Yuan Hua, played by Zhou Yu, appeared. In an instant, an unfamiliar song sounded in everyone's ears.

"Snowflakes are falling and the north wind is howling

The world is vast and boundless..."

When this song sounded, Xu Shan and many audiences were also surprised.

"This song... is it a new song?"

And from the sound of the song, it seems that Zhou Yu is singing it himself.

"It doesn't say that there's Zhou Yu's new song in this movie."

Xu Shan himself was a little surprised. Before this, when Zhou Yu was promoting the movie, he never revealed that his own new song would be inserted in the movie.

But you have to say, when this song sounded, combined with the scene where Yuan Hua, played by Zhou Yu, appeared in the movie, it really had a sense of comedy.

"Hello, hello, is Qiuya there? Is Qiuya there?"

When Yuan Hua and Qiu Ya were communicating, Xia Luo's voice suddenly sounded on the radio, and then the classic song-copying scene began.

"I wrote a song for you, I hope you like it."

When Charlotte's voice fell, the music started.

"I once dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with my sword

Look at the prosperity of the world
Young hearts are always frivolous

Now you are home

The girl who once made you feel bad
Now there is no trace
Love always makes you long for and trouble you
I once left you covered with bruises..."

When Zhou Yu's song sounded, everyone in the cinema was stunned for a moment, and then many people laughed out loud.

"Haha, Zhou Yu is just making fun of himself. Charlotte copied Zhou Yu's song. Haha, what a classic."

"Haha, Zhou Yu's movie is really interesting. It's so funny."

"Charlotte copied Zhou Yu, haha, absolutely amazing."

……

Even Lin Jiajia was amused when she heard that the song Xia Luo copied was Zhou Yu's previous song "You in the Past". Wow, he is actually making fun of himself.

But you have to say, this plot is really exciting.

In the movie, Yuan Hua was angry: "That's too much..."

However, Qiuya interrupted him directly and listened quietly to Xia Luo's singing.

As the story progresses, Charlotte gradually becomes a celebrity on campus after participating in a singing competition for elementary and middle school students. Qiuya also admires Charlotte more and more, and the two get closer and closer. Yuan Hua, watching his former goddess leave him, is filled with anger.

However, every time Yuan Hua, played by Zhou Yu, appeared on the stage and the exclusive background music sounded, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Lin Jiajia searched on the Internet and found out that this song was just released today along with the movie. It must be said that Zhou Yu did a really good job of keeping it secret.

"A Plum Blossom..."

Looking at the title of the song that had just been released, Lin Jiajia repeated it silently in her heart, but she didn’t listen to it in the cinema because it was time to watch a movie.

The plot has come to the time when Yuan Hua is looking for someone to deal with Xia Luo. When the gangster found Xia Luo, he said directly.

"Your name is Charlotte?!"

Charlotte took out the money: "Brother! From now on, I will buy out the title of your younger brother. From now on, I will be your younger brother, and you will be my older brother..."
