Chapter 51: Top Luxury Brand

Some said: I have always thought that this would be a commercial film that was wearing the facade of charity and helping the poor. However, I realised that I had made a huge mistake after watching it.

I hope that our country's films will be commercial films if they will be something like this. This film doesn't feature any love relationship. It doesn't even have a male protagonist. It also doesn't have any twists and turns of plot. It is so calm, and it is the exact reason why everyone is glued to the screen for it.

Some also said: I have always thought of myself as someone who doesn't cry easily. No matter how tragic the story in the film was, I would tell myself that it is fake. Then I wouldn't even shed a tear.

My eyes were stinging after watching "University Dream", though I managed to hold back my tears. The film captured the magnificence of the deep mountains. It portrayed the insignificance and hardship of the children living in the slums in the mountains better.

There were almost no negative reviews for the film. Was "University Dream" really that flawless?

Not exactly. It was because no one could bring themselves to criticize it. It was like a soft prick that prickled the deepest parts of the audience's hearts. They didn't dare touch it because it would hurt.

Not when they watched Xia Hong's whole life from start to finish. When they saw where Xia Hong lived in; when they saw the troubles that Xia Hong had to go through just to study; when they saw how Xia Hong kept moving forward no matter what was thrown at her; when they saw Xia Hong lose everything but still manage to achieve her dreams in spite of everything. However, she lost her life just as it was completed.

They had never experienced such suffering, nor did they dare to deny the fact that anyone was suffering like that in this world. That was why they were unable to bring themseles to voice their minor complaints about the film even if they did have some.

They couldn't do anything apart from praise and promote it with the best of what little they could do to have more people pay attention to the suffering children in the slums.

The theme for "University Dream" wasn't pleasant. It might have come and went quietly if it was in another situation.

However, Yun Xiangxiang was the protagonist. Getting first place in the national college entrance exam saw her becoming an actress that commanded the most attention. She was a rising star.

People went into cinemas during the summer holidays out of their curiosity for "University Dream" or for her. The first ones to do so were the top students from Qingdao University.

That was why Yun Xiangxiang saw that the preorder numbers for "University Dream" on the seventh of July reached ninety million yuan.

It was the top in film row piece rate on the eighth of July.

Most fell into silence after they watched the film. It wasn't because they were disappointed or unsatisfied. It was because words failed them in describing how they thought about the film.

A lot of people realized that they really didn't have the right to assess the film.

However, the lack of heated discussion didn't stop "University Dream"'s box office from soaring. Most people only recommended the film on their wall after they finished the film. There were no unnecessary critique or lamentation.

"Xiangxiang, now I know that the "University Dream" is actually this kind of "University Dream"."

Song Meng called Yun Xiangxiang the first moment after she watched the film. She was sobbing, "My heart feels heavy now. Especially when I am about to go into university. I don't know what to say. I know our country has slums. Every country does. But I didn't expect a place this scary to exist. Is this real?"
