CHAPTER 287 TO CHAPTER 291

TN: The following chapters involve the story about Stealing Shadows 2. It can get really confusing so I advice everyone to read it slowly.

CHAPTER 287

"Hello, we want buy tickets for the special screening of 《Stealing Shadows 2》." Yuan Ze's chauffeur told the theater staff.

"Sorry, all screening tickets have been sold out."

"How about the VIP box?"

"No available seats."

Yuan Ze made a direct phone call to the theater director but got the same reply.

"Xiaoyuan ah, I'm really sorry, but this movie is extremely popular and all seats have already been booked ahead of time."

Just when the chauffeur believed Yuan Ze will leave the matter unsettled, he unexpectedly saw him line up to buy two tickets and then followed the tide of people to watch in an ordinary viewing hall.

Before the lights were turned off, someone took noticed of Yuan Ze and their expression was like someone seeing a beggar on Dubai.

"Quickly, look. There's a rarely seen handsome guy."

"Oh my god, kill me."

"Could people properly watch the movie like this?"

"..."

This is why Yuan Ze wants to book a special screening. If the movie isn't appealing enough, those people would look at him longer than they do with the big screen.

There were still a few minutes before the start of the screening so the chauffeur longwindedly chatted with Yuan Ze.

"Have you seen 《Stealing Shadows 1》?"

"Seen it." Yaun Ze unenthusiastically replied.

The chauffeur instantly perked up, "Then how do you feel about 《Stealing Shadows 1》?"

"Passable."

"Then do you know who the screenwriter is?"

"Isn't it a collective creation by the Cultural Department* of Zhongding Group.

(*This was referred to as the literature department last time)

The chauffeur laughed, "If they truly have the ability then why did they produce so many 'Chinese-style horror films'?"

(Chinese-style horror films = Chinese characteristics of horror movies where ghost wouldn't exist-otherwise they will be censored-patterns are repetitive, poor acting skills of actors and poor production techniques. Basically, when someone says its Chinese-style horror movie, it means it's not scary at all)

"Then who wrote it?"

"It was written by Han Dong." The chauffeur said.

"He wrote it? He can still write screenplay?"

Yuan Ze was having a hard time accepting it. Although the script for 《Stealing Shadows》 isn't in the first-class level, it was at least more skillfully done.

Han Dong speech is confusing and he is an erhuo whose line of thought has never followed the normal route, so how can he write such logical script?

"Who did you hear it from?"

"Xia Hongwei."

Yuan Ze was puzzled, "How could he tell you this?"

"I was at the hospital that day and the topic was inadvertently raised."
