Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 382 Wonder Woman's Favor

Neo easily cracked Smith's code, causing him to explode instantly.

This plot left the audience speechless; such ability is truly extraordinary!
As the credits rolled and the lights came on, the film came to an end.

Although the film had ended, the room fell silent; everyone was still immersed in the film's impact…

A moment later, thunderous applause resounded throughout the entire venue.

"Clap clap clap!!!"

The audience applauded enthusiastically and cheered continuously.

"This is amazing! This sci-fi action movie is absolutely stunning!"

"The premise of this story is so novel; it's truly eye-opening!"

"I dare say, this is the most amazing special effects and the most imaginative domestic sci-fi film I've ever seen!"

"Thank you, director, for giving Chinese science fiction a new lease on life!"

"Haha, I hope the young heartthrobs won't close it again..."

"The Matrix, the Prophet, the Savior, Zion—so many mysteries keep us hooked, and we eagerly await the sequel!"

"..."

Hearing the audience's praise made Zhou Yang very happy, indicating that the film was very popular.

Shortly after, the host took the stage and invited all the main creators to come up and take their seats.

Next came the Q&A session with the media and fans. After the host had set up the venue, he began to accept questions.

Reporters from various Chinese and foreign media outlets raised their hands to ask questions, and the host eventually selected a reporter from a US men's magazine.

The reporter interviewed Zhou Yang.

He picked up the microphone and asked, "Zhou, through your previous films, you have become a popular Hollywood star. Why did you choose to return to China to make films this time? Do you think that the level of Chinese films is far inferior to that of Hollywood, the pinnacle of the film industry?"

Upon hearing the reporter's question, the atmosphere in the audience became awkward, including that of the famous Chinese directors, actors, and audience members.

Publicly criticizing Chinese films is a very blunt act.

They cannot deny it, because they have to acknowledge this reality!

Otherwise, so many Chinese stars wouldn't be willing to work as extras in Hollywood in order to gain fame.

Zhou Yang remained calm and said with a smile:

"The poor quality of Chinese films prompted me to return. I achieved success in Hollywood, but it's no longer challenging. Now, my goal is to contribute to the development of Chinese films, raise their standards, and even surpass Hollywood!"

clap clap clap! ! !
Upon hearing Zhou Yang's answer, enthusiastic applause immediately erupted in the audience.

"Yang was really amazing this week! He spoke with such confidence!"

"He's even more awesome than Hollywood; only he dares to say that!"

"Haha, Hollywood has no challenge anymore, this is the best, so pretentious, hahaha."

"Is this considered showing off? This is real skill slapping someone in the face!"

"Amazing! Zhou Yang has made us Chinese people proud!"

"Haha, strength is power! If it were Kun Kun or Lu Han, they would have to admit defeat!"

"..."

During the subsequent activities, reporters asked the guests some questions, but the controversy did not reach its initial peak.

Many actors and directors, both domestic and international, have also praised "The Matrix".

After an hour, the premiere concluded successfully. Although the formal interviews had ended, reporters continued to come and conduct interviews privately, as opportunities to see so many domestic and international superstars are rare, and many celebrities were surrounded by reporters.

These reporters naturally regarded Zhou Yang as their primary interview subject.

Although the celebrities present today are very famous, they cannot rival Zhou Yang's popularity.

After much trouble, Zhou Yang finally managed to shake off the media reporters and return backstage.

However, a blonde, blue-eyed, tall, and fit foreign beauty blocked Zhou Yang's way.

Zhou Yang was slightly surprised and asked in confusion, "Miss Gal Gadot, is there anything I can help you with?"

Gal Gadot flashed a charming smile: "I admire your performance and hope to have the opportunity to work with you someday."

"OK."

Zhou Yang smiled and agreed.

After receiving Zhou Yang's affirmation, Gal Gadot's smile became even brighter, like a blooming sunflower, full of beauty and enthusiasm.

"Looking forward to hearing from you."

Gal Gadot blinked, then turned and left.

"Could it be that he has feelings for me?" Zhou Yang wondered.

Meanwhile, Chinese and foreign celebrities who attended the premiere of "The Matrix" began promoting the film online.

"#Guo Fan: This sci-fi movie is comparable to 'The Wandering Earth,' everyone should make time to watch it!"

"#StephenChow: Zhou Yang's acting skills are enviable, and he's definitely the visual highlight. Friends, please don't miss this movie.#"

"#Xu Shanzheng: Look everyone, the door to domestic science fiction that a certain movie once closed has now been reopened by 'The Matrix'!"

"#Peter Jackson: My God, the new film 'The Matrix' from Chow Yun-fat is absolutely not to be missed! It's an epic masterpiece comparable to 'The Lord of the Rings,' opening up a new world for science fiction films!"

"#Gal Gadot: The Matrix makes me want to go back to the theaters!"

"#James Cameron: While I rarely praise other films, The Matrix is ​​truly spectacular!#"

Well-known actors and directors from home and abroad, as well as online media, have responded and supported "The Matrix," actively spreading information about the film on various online platforms.

Keywords such as "Zhou Yang" and "The Matrix" frequently appeared at the top of the trending search list, attracting widespread attention and even surpassing the popularity of other domestic film and television works at the time.

To increase her international profile, Zhou Yang posted a message on Instagram:
"#Chinese actor Zhou Yang: Looking forward to sharing our new film 'The Matrix' with everyone. This movie embodies our sincerity, and we hope to receive everyone's support. Thank you for your attention.#"

Zhou Yang's popularity overseas is truly astonishing; in less than ten minutes after the post was published, the number of comments exceeded 10,000!

Many comments included the following:

"Zhou's works are always excellent, and I will definitely support them!"

"The title sounds so cool, I can't wait for it to be released!"

"I will definitely invite my family and friends to go support Joo Oba's movie!"

Zhou Yang's lips twitched. It seems that brainwashed fans are not unique to China; there are many abroad as well.

Meanwhile, reviews for "The Matrix" on Douban and IMDb have been released.

The Matrix received a score of 9.0 on Douban, successfully entering the top 20 of Douban's film history!

It has a slightly lower IMDb rating of only 8.7, but it still managed to make it into the top ten of IMDb's all-time best movies!
