Rebirth: How A Loser Became A Prince Charming - Chapter 540

Chapter 540: Mixed Reviews

Unaware that he had been betrayed by his girlfriend, Qin Guan was making financial plans for the holidays .

"Shall we go to the cinema tomorrow? ‘Heroes’ will be in theaters in North America . "

"Which one do you want to watch first?"

Both of his films were being distributed by Miramax . One of them was a foreign film introduced in North America, while the other was an indie film . Miramax had assigned different significance to the two of them .

Qin Guan wasn’t concerned about that . Shrugging, he said, "We can watch ‘Heroes’ at the nearby cinema, then watch ‘Confessions of a Dangerous Mind’ the next day . "

Cong Nianwei stared at Qin Guan with a meaningful expression in her eyes . "So they are in theaters on different days?"

"Of course . Don't look at me like that . I’m melting . . . "

"Stop!"

It was wonderful to be back home .

The next day, Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei went to the cinema with Sister Xue’s tickets .

The Chinese commercial film had been publicized in North America for a whole month . The American youth paid to see the film thanks to their love for Jet Li . They were also curious about the mysterious Asian film .

The first screening started at nine o’clock in the morning . It seemed that the cinema was confident about the film .

The big screen turned on . About 60% of the average-sized theater was occupied, which was a gratifying achievement .

Cong Nianwei was interested in the film, but Qin Guan was nervous .

It was easy for a Chinese audience to enjoy a foreign film with an English audio and Chinese subtitles . Fans of American, Korean and Japanese TV shows were a good example of this .

 American people couldn’t follow subtitles though .

 In the film, actors were shouting at each other in Chinese, and the emperor was giving a lesson to the audience in standard Mandarin . The English subtitles were flashing by quickly at the bottom of the screen .

Qin Guan's reading ability was enough to read them, but the young people around him were frowning .

"What is he talking about?"

"No idea . The subtitles are too fast . "

Idioms were extremely important, but English sentences were always too long . In half an hour, the confused audience began to leave . Cong Nianwei was worried . "What's the matter?" she whispered to Qin Guan .

Qin Guan tried to comfort her . "We’ll just rely on the reviews tomorrow and the box office statistics . "

To their delight, most of the audience stayed till the end of the film . Qin Guan couldn't control public opinion, but he would definitely buy some newspapers the next day .

As they walked out of the cinema, Cong Nianwei burst into laughter and pointed to his lips . "You look strange with that beard on!"

Qin Guan smiled in reply . No matter how much facial hair he had on, he would always be a good actor .

The two of them walked home chatting and laughing . The next day, Qin Guan bought some shrimp wontons from a Chinese restaurant for breakfast and bought some newspapers on the way home .

When he returned, Cong Nianwei had prepared some round pancakes . She put a plate of pickles on the table as Qin Guan finished the newspapers .

The box office of the opening day had been more than 100 million dollars . His film was at the top of the weekend box office .

This was an uncommon achievement during the summer, but the reviews were much more interesting than the box office .

The audience was divided . Qin Guan’s fans were crazy about the film, while his haters couldn't wait to diss it .

The mainstream media talked very highly of the film . They thought it was as mysterious as Chinese culture and wanted to travel among China’s beautiful mountains and rivers, which were as beautiful as Wonderland .

Each scene was meaningful, and each actor left a memorable impression . Their words were as elegant as poems, expressing the essence of Chinese culture and philosophy .

Some reviews came from prestigious art lovers and insiders of the film circle, including directors, photographers and producers . Everyone thought it was an outstanding visual feast .

Of course, some people, who were fans of Jet Li, were fond of popular Kung Fu stars .

There was also a group of people who disliked the film . They ranked it with an F, which was the lowest possible rating .

Most young people hated it . They couldn't follow the dialogue and had no idea what was going on . What does the director want to say? That the ancient Chinese could fly in the sky?
