Director Hao Ren, the three main actors, and Liu Ruyan, who came to support, clearly couldn't satisfy the appetites of these media and reporters.
This led to them being unenthusiastic when interviewing the main creative team, feeling like they had been tricked.
However, the interview segment before the premiere was not long, and soon the premiere of the movie “lost in thailand” began.
At this time, many viewers and netizens also entered the cinema to see the quality of the movie written by Su Yu.
The ticket price for “lost in thailand” was 20 chinese yuan, which was still within the affordable range for many people.
However, there was also a group of people who entered the cinema to watch this movie specifically to find fault.
When it was promoted, they couldn't compete with Su Yu and Tianxing Entertainment, but “an ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her in-laws,” so they shouldn't be blamed for trying their best to smear it.
Although there was no foundation from the first part, “the hunger games,” on Blue Star, it had the high-popularity bonus from Su Yu.
With Su Yu's album breaking tens of millions in sales, the film's pre-screening schedule for the first three days had increased from the original 7% to nearly 10% now.
The effect was evident.
However, if the box office and reputation couldn't support such a screening schedule, the cinemas weren't fools; they would definitely reduce the screenings of “lost in thailand.”
So, the first three days will determine which of the nearly twenty movies released concurrently will survive to the end!
The ingredient list for “lost in thailand” was very simple; the production and distribution companies were all Tianxing Entertainment.
There was no mention here of Su Yu owning 50% of the investment because it was unnecessary.
The movie began with the segment about the birth of “Oil Tyrant,” followed by the scene of Xu Lang arguing with his wife in the office.
Xu Lang often didn't go homecoming because of the “Oil Tyrant” matter, and had gradually become estranged from his family.
This was also the reason his wife wanted to divorce him.
But with his career on the verge of success, how could Xu Lang give up and hand over his achievements to his competitor?
Xu Lang tried his best to explain to his wife, finally even resorting to kneeling.
As a result, his competitor, Gao Bo, happened to see it.
The two then began a period of workplace intrigue.
However, Xu Lang’s wife unintentionally revealed the truth that Xu Lang was going to Siam, which made Xu Lang feel very uncomfortable, as if he had been backstabbed.
After the three parted unhappily, Xu Lang asked his assistant to book a flight to Siam, while Gao Bo installed a tracker on Xu Lang’s phone.
A tug-of-war began: you flee, I chase, and I won't let you escape.
And when Xu Lang met Wang Bao on the plane, his bad luck also arrived.
Awkwardness, misunderstandings, and situations that were both funny and frustrating.
Wang Bao seemed to be sent by Heaven to punish Xu Lang.
There were simply too many gags and funny segments in the movie; every time Xu Lang was embarrassed, the audience wished they could help him dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with their toes.
While the audience and netizens laughed heartily, they also understood what the character “Embarrassment” (jiong, meaning awkward or embarrassed) truly meant.
In the 100-plus minute movie, the audience who entered the cinema had already forgotten how many times they had laughed.
They only knew that when they walked out, their cheeks hurt from laughing, and some even planned to watch it a second time in a few days.
It was only then that they recalled that the scriptwriter of this movie was Su Yu!
Goodness, they had come specifically for Su Yu the scriptwriter, but they were completely engrossed for over 100 minutes and totally forgot about it.
This was truly amazing!
And finally, when Liu Ruyan, Ruyan Dadi (Emperor Ruyan), whom both Wang Bao and his mother liked, appeared, the audience truly felt very amazed and pleasantly surprised.
The name Liu Ruyan almost ran through the entire movie, truly an hidden female lead.
And the interlude song in the movie, “I Just Want to Be With You,” sung by Xue Qing and Bi Huo, also made countless viewers' eyes light up.
Because they hadn't expected such an Easter egg in the movie!
Some netizens who were waiting also got the movie reviews they wanted in the comment section of Su Yu's Tribe after the first screening ended.
“As expected of Su Shen, writing scripts is also so powerful! The movie is super funny, highly recommended!”
“I won’t spoil it, brothers, go for it with confidence! 【Siam Legend】 can save your unhappiness!”
“How can there be a legend without going through trials and tribulations! That’s all I can say. I plan to take my girlfriend for a second viewing!”
“Great review! The funniest comedy movie of the year, no arguments accepted! I’ll stand by this statement; if it’s not funny, come back and hit me!”
Netizens waiting in Su Yu's Tribe comment section, upon seeing the unanimous positive reviews, naturally felt an urge to enter the cinema to find out for themselves.
However, not long after, these comments were pushed down, replaced by a string of negative reviews!
“What is this? No substance at all? The whole movie was just trying to be funny, and the humor was very forced, so awkward! I advise everyone not to fall for it!”
“Those who praised it just now were paid trolls. This movie is Su Yu’s money-grabbing work, selling bromance, selling sex, vulgar content! Already reported!”
“I supported him because I thought Su Yu was different from other celebrities, but this is it? Su Yu betrayed my trust, pay me 20 yuan!”
“The most unnutritious and soulless movie of the year! How did such a movie pass censorship? Take it off the shelves! Su Yu, don’t meddle in the film industry anymore, you don’t deserve it!”
Such a drastic reversal also left the genuine netizens utterly confused.
Which side should they believe? Both sides seemed to make a lot of sense, didn't they?
They then checked a reputable rating website, where “lost in thailand” currently had 10,000 ratings with an average of 7.8.
The rating website required actual ticket purchases before comments could be made, so it was quite reliable.
And for a comedy movie to receive a temporary rating of 7.8, it should be worth going to the cinema to see for oneself.
When these netizens planned to buy tickets to “feed the demon with their own bodies,” they were surprised to find that all daytime screenings of “lost in thailand” today were sold out!
Only the midnight show still had some scattered seats.
Are they crazy? Although today was Sunday, “lost in thailand”'s screening schedule didn't seem low, so how could there be no tickets left?
Are the people from Tianxing Entertainment shamelessly inflating box office numbers?
It wasn't until they returned to Tribe that they understood what had happened during their time on the rating website.

Ye Mei: “The scallion pancake massage scene in “lost in thailand” made me laugh so hard! I admire Teacher Su Yu’s creativity and screenwriting skills! Image.JPG”
Chen Yixun, Kong Jing, Tan Kai, Xiao Jingyu, Xie Jie, and even Han Zhuoma came out to recommend it and posted their ticket stubs.
It turned out that this was not arranged by Su Yu and Tianxing Entertainment, but done spontaneously by these people.
Because they were also very curious when they heard that Su Yu had written the script.
So they went directly to the cinema today, and each of them naturally came out laughing.
And when they saw that Su Yu's comment section was full of misleading negative reviews from paid trolls, they proactively helped to vouch for it.
If the movie wasn't good, they were all people who valued their reputation, so they naturally wouldn't get involved in such a messy situation.
But the quality of this movie was truly unquestionable! So they didn't mind doing Su Yu a favor.
