Chapter 1555 Warm Reminder
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning, Weibo's trending topics were dominated by keywords related to the Spring Festival Gala.
[This year's Spring Festival Gala is going to be a huge success!]
[A long-cherished wish fulfilled! Yu Caiwei sings "Rain Butterfly"!]
[A breathtaking display of Chinese aesthetics, "Only This Verdant Green," showcasing the beauty of a vast and beautiful land!]
[Ye Zhi Qiu delivers a high-energy performance of her new song "Full Power" at the Spring Festival Gala!]
[The Spring Festival Gala that best understands Generation Z's aesthetics!]
Of the top ten trending topics, seven were related to Ye Zhi Qiu.
Songs such as "Rain Butterfly" and "Full Power" are very popular among young audiences and generate a lot of buzz online.
But in terms of influence, the dance "Only Greenery" is the most influential, and many cultural figures and dance scholars have given it extremely high praise.
"As a researcher of aesthetic history, I am amazed by how 'Only Greenery' restores both the materiality and spirituality of 'A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains.' The dance drama elevates the history of 'objects' to an epic of 'people,' making a court painting a cultural memory shared by all."
"In today's theater ecosystem, which is filled with fragmented entertainment, 'Only Green' is a courageous practice of 'slow aesthetics.' It does not rely on plot conflict or pursue sensory stimulation, but rather guides the audience into a contemplative state of 'viewing a painting' with an almost ritualistic rhythm..."
"What surprised me most was that 'Only This Green' is not just a simple re-creation, but a combination of cultural relics and dance drama art. This transcends a single art form and becomes a symbol of Chinese culture in the new era..."
Early morning, a residential community in Sichuan Province.
Xiaotang, a freshman in college and a big fan of Ye Zhi Qiu, didn't go to sleep until almost 2 a.m. last night.
The main reason was that after watching Ye Zhi Qiu's song "Full Power" on the Spring Festival Gala, she was too excited and watched the replay more than 10 times. Then she spent the whole night browsing posts before finally falling asleep.
However, she woke up before 7 a.m.
Unable to wake up at 9 am for school and unable to fall asleep at 6 am during holidays – this is a common situation for young people today.
I checked my phone and there were already more than 60 unread messages in the group chat with my girlfriends.
"Oh no, Ye Zhi Qiu's performance last night was so amazing, I was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep until after 3 a.m.!"
"I woke up at 6 o'clock!"
"It's currently dominating the trending topics; this year's Spring Festival Gala has broken numerous viewership records!"
"Wow, the National Museum of China has announced that it will hold a special exhibition of blue-green landscape paintings from all dynasties in May this year. The painting 'A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains' will be exhibited after 10 years, and there will also be collaborative elements with the IP 'Only Blue-Green'."
"Wow, this is an official collaboration! I want to go check it out, but it's so far from Beijing..."
"And this too! The Huahai Oriental Art Troupe will be conducting a national tour of the dance drama 'Only This Greenery,' and Chengdu is one of the cities on the tour. I definitely have to buy tickets to see it!"
"I checked the official website, and the number of reservations for Guangrongcheng has exceeded 10. It's incredibly popular."
"Ye Zhi Qiu just posted on Weibo, you guys should go check it out!"
The last sentence was sent 5 minutes ago.
Xiao Tang quickly opened Weibo, and sure enough, Ye Zhi Qiu had a new post.
This is a Weibo post that combines New Year's greetings with movie promotion.
"After enduring the long winter, spring arrives. Wishing you a peaceful and prosperous New Year! On the first day of the New Year, I, along with the entire cast and crew of 'The Dead End' and 'Ip Man,' extend our New Year's greetings to everyone! We hope you will continue to support these two excellent films!"
The Weibo post also included posters for the two movies.
As is widely known, "The Dead End" is a film directed and starring Ye Zhi Qiu, and "Ip Man" is also a film he wrote and co-produced with the Hong Kong Film Association.
The competition during the Spring Festival film season is fierce, and everyone is doing their best to promote their products and services, so advertising is a normal practice.
However, Ye Zhi Qiu's Weibo post also included a short, friendly reminder.
"Friendly reminder: The Dead End is a crime film containing restricted and negative content. Minors, those who are psychologically sensitive, or those with low tolerance should not watch it."
This Weibo post quickly garnered over 10 comments shortly after it was published.
"Happy New Year!"
"Full Throttle is so cool!"
"I bought the tickets a long time ago, I support both movies!"
"I watched 'Ip Man' last night at midnight, and I highly recommend it! The fight scenes are fantastic!"
My girlfriend wants to watch the urban romance film "After the Rain", while I want to watch "Ip Man". Which one is better?
"I didn't see the former, but I definitely won't regret watching 'Ip Man.' It can be said to be the best kung fu film in the last decade!"
"I'd like to ask if the movie 'The Dead End' is bloody or not, and whether it's suitable for a junior high school student to watch. I'm mainly interested in this kind of subject matter myself."
"To the person upstairs, I'm telling you seriously, it's not bloody, but it's a hundred times more disturbing than bloody. Listen to the director himself, absolutely do not take children to see it!"
In the comments section, a small number of people had already watched the film at midnight and were sharing their thoughts afterward.
However, most netizens disregarded Ye Zhi Qiu's "friendly reminder".
"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'those with weak mental fortitude are not allowed to watch'? Are you looking down on people?"
"Everyone else wants audiences to bring their families to the cinema, but there are actually people who try to turn people away."
Is this a provocation?
"I admit you sang very well last night, but I don't like hearing that!"
"I just turned 18, and just because of what you said, I absolutely have to go watch 'The Dead End'."
"Given the stringent film censorship standards in China, how terrifying could it possibly be? I don't believe it!"
At home, Xiaotang scrolled through the comments for a while before returning to her group chat with her girlfriends.
"Hey ladies, wanna go out on New Year's Day?"
"Let's go shopping and see a movie!"
"What should we watch? How about 'The Dead End'? I'm quite curious about this movie."
"Isn't it true that people with weak mental fortitude shouldn't watch this? It's not going to be too scary, is it? I'm pretty timid."
"What's there to be afraid of? It's not a horror movie, it's just a police and crime film."
"If young people listen to advice, can they still be called young people?!"
Without hesitation, Xiaotang quickly got up, put on makeup, and went out after making plans with her friends.
After the group of girls got together, they inevitably started chattering away. When they arrived at the movie theater, they found it was quite lively.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people went out to play, and with several good movies released during this year's Spring Festival, everyone was happy to watch them.
"There's a poster for 'The Dead End' over there, let's go check it out!"
A girl saw the poster ahead and excitedly ran over.
This is a solo poster. In the gray and gloomy image, the character Xin Xiaofeng, played by Ye Zhi Qiu, has a furrowed brow and his eyes reveal a lingering weariness and vigilance.
"The character of Ye Zhi Qiu is a huge breakthrough."
"Yes, it feels completely different from before."
"Never mind, let's take a picture together first!"
"Find someone to take a picture for me."
