After the film was finished, Ye Zhiqiu brought the crew members out to express their gratitude and briefly answer a few questions, and the premiere ceremony was declared over.

Backstage, Yang Kai, who had not left, met Ye Zhiqiu again.

“Zhiqiu, congratulations, it’s a great shot.” ​​Yang Kai said with a smile.

"Thank you." Ye Zhiqiu said politely.

“That’s not a compliment.” Yang Kai said, “I grew up in a rural area in Northeast China. I feel like I experienced many of the scenes in the movie when I was a child.”

“But there’s one thing I don’t understand.”

Yang Kai couldn't help but ask, "Later in the movie, Shu suddenly learned to tell fortunes, and at the end Xiaomei became pregnant and could even speak. Is this true or false?"

Ye Zhiqiu did not answer directly, but asked: "How do you understand it?"

Yang Kai thought about it and analyzed: "I think it's fake, all of this is an illusion of the tree."

"He longs to be respected by everyone, to make Erzhu, who bullies him, surrender, and to have a wonderful life with Xiaomei. However, these are impossible to achieve in reality and can only be realized in dreams..."

Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu did not refute, Yang Kai became more and more excited and continued: "The beginning of the dream should be before the wedding, after Shu and his brother had a fight."

"After he fell into a semi-comatose state, there was a rotating scene of him looking up at the ceiling, which was the transition between reality and dream..."

Yang Kai's analysis was well-reasoned and combined with a lot of movie plots. It was obvious that he had watched the movie carefully and combined it with his own thoughts.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, and did not deny: “Brother Yang Kai looked very carefully.”

“Most of it is correct, and not too far from what I had in mind when I was shooting.”

“Most of it?” Yang Kai was stunned and asked curiously, “Then what’s wrong?”

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "That's not important. Once a movie is fully presented to the audience, it no longer belongs entirely to the director, but is a work that the audience can freely interpret."

"Every audience has their own understanding, which doesn't have to be exactly the same as the director's."

......

On the first day of its release, "Hello! Mr. Tree" only earned 189 million at the box office, and the online response was not enthusiastic.

On the one hand, it is due to scheduling reasons, and on the other hand, the subject matter of "art films" is indeed not very popular.

Some viewers went to the cinema because of the film's reputation as "produced by Ye Zhiqiu, starring Wang Qiang", but felt somewhat disappointed after watching the film.

"I watched it at night, but I really couldn't understand it, and then I fell asleep."

"What can I say about this movie? It feels very profound, but the whole movie is too depressing and hard to watch."

"It feels like I'm in a fog, and it feels weird."

"Compared with Detective Chinatown, this film is very different."

However, apart from this, some viewers had completely opposite views and expressed shock.

"I understand it. I was depressed all day, but it is definitely a masterpiece."

"In this film, Wang Qiang's acting is simply amazing. How can he act so realistically? It completely overturned my previous impression of him."

"Wang Qiang's acting is awesome, but Ye Zhiqiu, the director and screenwriter, is even better..."

"Honestly, this movie is as high as a three or four-story building..."

"I have a feeling that this will be a masterpiece created by the collaboration between Ye Zhiqiu and Wang Qiang."

At the same time, in Shangjing City.

In a certain community, the well-known blogger Shu Shu sat in front of the computer, controlling the mouse with his fingers, constantly zooming in and out of a photo on the screen, with a somewhat infatuated and somewhat obscene smile on his face, and he was almost drooling.

The photo shows Ye Zhiqiu and a tall, busty beauty with a domineering look in a movie theater.

This beauty, of course, is herself.

As a well-known film critic, she was also invited to attend the premiere of "Hello! Mr. Tree" and was lucky enough to take a photo with Ye Zhiqiu.

This was her first time meeting Ye Zhiqiu in person offline. To be honest, she was dizzy throughout the whole process and didn't even know how to move before it was over.

If I have to describe my feeling, it is that Ye Zhiqiu is really handsome!

Different from many celebrities who can only exist in retouched photos, Ye Zhiqiu is definitely the type who looks handsome on camera, but is a hundred times more handsome in real life than in photos on the Internet!
