Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 262 A Twist, a Crazy Twist!
The audience was astonished and speculated about how the painter had managed to escape.

At this moment, Li Wen's memory finally stopped, and he returned to the real world.

Ruan Wen's pressure finally worked, and the police station had no choice but to let Li Wen and Ruan Wen leave the police station together and be released without charge.

Just then, the policewoman and the painter posing as a policewoman passed each other. A moment later, the female inspector suddenly realized what was happening and immediately turned around to chase after the painter.

However, I was a little slow in the end and witnessed the painter walk into the elevator with his backpack.

The policewoman rushed to the monitoring room, tracked down the painter's whereabouts, and immediately gave the order for a large number of police officers to surround the painter.

The audience held their breath, watching the big screen with bated breath.

The painter arrived at an office and found a wanted poster on the ground. The person on the wanted poster looked exactly like him.

The painter's face suddenly turned pale, and he was about to turn around when they threw in a stun grenade. Instantly, a bright light filled the air, and when the smoke cleared, the police surrounded the painter, pinned him to the ground, and made him unable to move.

The audience can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ha! We finally caught him!"

"Haha, he thought the safest place was the most dangerous place, but he failed."

"The poor painter has failed twice in a row."

"Don't feel bad, he'll probably spend the rest of his life in prison."

"But why does it feel somewhat unreal? A painter who is so clever shouldn't be so easily captured."

"He's too arrogant, he actually walked into the police station without any attempt to hide it..."

But in the blink of an eye, the entire audience in the movie theater was shocked!
The painter cried out in anguish, "Brother, what are you doing? I am Wu Zhihui, the chief of the New Territories Precinct, number 28818. I am Gao Lao Hui, the father of your subordinate Xiao Zhong!"

"Just three days ago I personally escorted you to the airport to bring back prisoners, and you don't even recognize me?"

At this point, the police officer took out his police ID from the "painter's" pocket, proving that he was indeed a police officer.

The scene changes to the police car escorting Li Wen. Wu Zhihui is driving, and Li Wen is describing his impression of the painter, who is actually Wu Zhihui.

There is no real painter, or rather, Li Wen is the painter, and he is the mastermind behind all the cases!

Surprisingly, the "Ruan Wen" who met with Li Wen at the police station was actually Xiu Qing in disguise!

Shortly after, the credits rolled, and the movie officially ended.

However, all the viewers were still shocked by the sudden plot twist and were unable to calm down for a long time.

After a long while, the entire theater erupted in enthusiastic applause, and everyone's face was filled with awe.

"That's amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

"This is so unexpected! I really couldn't have guessed!"

"Zhou Yang's acting was superb! He acted so despicable just now; it turns out he was the mastermind behind it all!"

"To be honest, Zhou Yang's performance was so unexpected."

"The real protagonist of this movie is actually just a supporting character!"

"The main reason is that Li Wen was too clever; he successfully deceived everyone."

"Everyone, I didn't understand it at all. It seems I'll have to watch it again."

"."

Hearing the praise from the audience around him, Zhou Yang was very satisfied, and he immediately left the movie theater with Fatty Di.

As for the reactions of the audience watching "From Vegas to Macau III" in the next hall, he didn't care to know, because only "Project Gutenberg" was the best.

the next day.

Douban also released the ratings for newly released movies. "Project Gutenberg" received a score of 8.5, while "From Vegas to Macau III," a movie that brought together many big names, only got a pitiful score of 4.1, which was even lower than the previous two films.

A thriller as captivating and suspenseful as "Project Gutenberg" is a rare find in Chinese cinema. The film is dominating headlines on major online platforms.

Zhou Yang once again showcases his exceptional acting skills! He truly deserves the title of a new generation of talented actor!

Wang Jing's image has been severely damaged by Zhou Yang!

Don't compare Zhou Yang to young actors; he has reached another level.

……

Many netizens spontaneously promoted "Dynasty Warriors" on various online platforms.

"I'm blown away! 'Project Gutenberg' is the best and most amazing Chinese-language suspense thriller I've seen in the last decade!"

"Project Gutenberg is absolutely amazing! I love it so much, it's definitely the best movie of the year!"

"Zhou Yang's acting skills are truly amazing now; even Chow Yun-fat is overshadowed by him!"

"I dare say Zhou Yang will definitely win the Best Actor award at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards!"

"Really, the ending of this movie was completely unexpected..."

"Go check out 'Project Gutenberg' right away! After watching, we'll still be good friends!"

"..."

However, another film released at the same time, "From Vegas to Macau III," did not enjoy the same luck.

Whether on Douban or Maoyan, the vast majority of reviews gave negative ratings.

"I've never seen such a terrible movie... What a waste of my money!"

"Watching this terrible movie during the Spring Festival completely ruined my good mood!"

"I swear, I will never again decide which movie to watch based on the star-studded cast."

"Wang Jing is trash! He's such a waste of so many talented actors!"

"Compared to 'Project Gutenberg,' 'From Vegas to Macau III' is simply not even close!"

"..."

This polarization in word-of-mouth was directly reflected in the box office performance of the two films. "Project Gutenberg" only accounted for 23.3% of screenings on its opening day, but still grossed 1.58 million yuan.

Despite having a much higher screening rate than "Project Gutenberg" (32.8%), "From Vegas to Macau III" only grossed 1.13 million yuan on its opening day.

Despite having a greater advantage in screenings, "From Vegas to Macau III" actually earned more than 40 million less at the box office than "Project Gutenberg".

The reason why major cinema chains have allocated screening times in this way is because "From Vegas to Macau III" has a strong star-studded cast, while the Lunar New Year film season is usually more suitable for comedies.

After all, during the Chinese New Year, nobody wants to go to the cinema to watch a suspenseful drama; everyone prefers lighthearted comedies to brighten things up.

With a large cast of stars and comedic elements, the box office is sure to be good.

During the Spring Festival season last year and the year before, the first two parts of the "From Vegas to Macau" series achieved box office successes of 7.5 million and 13.9 billion yuan respectively.

The industry has also summarized a well-known empirical formula for this.

Celebrities + comedy elements + Spring Festival season = box office success!

However, audience preferences have changed unexpectedly this year.

The release of "Project Gutenberg" cooled people's enthusiasm for all-star comedy films.
