120: This acting is worthy of an Oscar!

The heated discussions online continued, as more and more movie fans shared their thoughts after watching the film.

The popularity of the movie "Hello, Mr. Shu" kept rising.

Many netizens said they were going to buy tickets right away, wanting to see what was so unique about this film praised by so many people.

They also wanted to see if Wang Baoqiang's acting was really as exceptional as everyone said.

On the other side, the premiere ended.

Chen Le bid farewell to the guests.

After seeing off the film critics and reporters, only Dean Wang, their friends, and company staff remained in the screening room.

"Chen Le, I'm heading off first. Seeing you grow step by step like this, I'm really curious about how far you'll go in the future," Dean Wang laughed and said goodbye to Chen Le.

Zhang Songwen, Zhou Yiwei, and the other two also said their goodbyes together.

After seeing everyone off, only he and Yang Mi were left.

"Let's go, Mi Mi," Chen Le said.

"Okay," Yang Mi nodded.

Afterwards, the two of them left the cinema.

Chen Le drove home with Yang Mi.

On the way, Yang Mi sat in the passenger seat.

She was still talking about the movie they just watched.

"Old Chen, your movie is just too amazing. Now I understand why film people sometimes look down on TV dramas; they really aren't on the same level."

"And Wang Baoqiang, his acting is just phenomenal. Old Chen, you really struck gold with him," Yang Mi said excitedly.

As an actress herself, she naturally could see how good Wang Baoqiang's acting was. Actors with such exceptional talent like him are extremely rare in the country.

"I feel he has a real shot at winning a Film Emperor award for this movie. His performance is just that brilliant," Yang Mi continued.

"Haha, winning would be great, but it's fine if he doesn't. Baoqiang is still young anyway; getting any award would be good enough for now," Chen Le said with a smile.

Right now, he didn't have such high expectations for Wang Baoqiang. Getting an award for the new movie would be sufficient.

As for more, that could be discussed later.

"True, he's still considered young at his age, a young genius actor," Yang Mi nodded.

There are actors who win Film Emperor awards in their thirties or forties.

"Old Chen, this movie is out now. Do you have any other plans for later?" Yang Mi asked suddenly after her musings.

"Not sure for now. I'll spend some time with you first, and we'll see later."

"Okay!"

The two chatted idly as they headed home.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Zhang Songwen, Zhou Yiwei, and Lin Jialong were walking together.

Wang Baoqiang had already taken a taxi back.

The three of them didn't take a taxi but were walking back slowly.

Having just watched "Hello, Mr. Shu," they still hadn't recovered.

All three of them were feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

Wang Baoqiang's acting was indeed excellent, bringing the character to life.

While watching the movie, they had unconsciously immersed themselves in it.

As a result, they were having a bit of trouble shaking it off now.

"Songwen, are you sure Wang Baoqiang isn't professionally trained?" Lin Jialong looked at Zhang Songwen and asked, somewhat incredulously.

He found it hard to believe that an actor without formal training could be this good.

After watching "Hello, Mr. Shu," he felt a bit depressed. Portraying such a hopeless character and conveying that feeling wasn't an easy task.

"Yeah, I'm sure. He was just an Extra before. I never expected him to reach this level. Baoqiang is probably the most talented actor I've ever seen," Zhang Songwen said, unable to help but sigh with emotion.

He had watched Wang Baoqiang progress step by step. Besides luck, it was more due to his hard work and talent.

Even Zhang Songwen felt inferior to Wang Baoqiang's natural talent.

Beside them, Zhou Yiwei, hearing their conversation, smiled and said, "With Baoqiang's talent and current acting skills, becoming a Film Emperor is just a matter of time. We might even get to witness the rise of a new Film Emperor."

"Indeed, I'm truly in awe of Baoqiang's acting. It's only been a little over a year since he started filming, and he's already reached this level. A true genius actor!" Lin Jialong exclaimed with emotion once more.

The three of them chatted as they walked, finishing their talk about Wang Baoqiang and then moving on to discuss the movie's plot.

"Do you think Shu was really just dreaming?"

"Of course, it was a dream world from the very beginning. Those were memories and illusions, occasionally interspersed with reality."

As they were chatting.

At another cinema in Beijing.

Huang Bo and Wang Xun had just finished watching the movie and were walking out of the cinema with the crowd.

And the movie they had watched was Wang Baoqiang's acting masterpiece, "Hello, Mr. Shu."

Around them, moviegoers who had just seen the film were sharing their thoughts with friends and family.

Many people came out looking bewildered, and quite a few had solemn expressions, clearly affected by the movie's plot.

There were also excited fans talking animatedly with their friends.

Huang Bo listened carefully and realized these fans were all praising Wang Baoqiang's superb acting.

"Haha, Brother Bo, what are you listening to?" Wang Xun asked with a smile beside him.

"Listening to what they're saying," Huang Bo replied with a smile.

"They're all saying Baoqiang's acting is great. What do you think?" Wang Xun asked again.

"What do I think? Of course, I think it's great to watch! I really didn't expect Baoqiang's acting to be this good.

Although I sensed it when filming with him last time, I didn't expect him to be even more impressive in this movie than I imagined."

Huang Bo walked alongside Wang Xun, sharing his thoughts.

"Sigh, I feel the same. His acting in this movie is so much stronger than in 'lost on journey' and 'lost in thailand'," Wang Xun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The script for this movie is also excellent. It feels like a script tailor-made for Baoqiang. He portrayed the character Shu so well, as if he *is* Shu and Shu *is* him," Huang Bo continued.

"Really, when I first saw him appear in the cinema, I almost didn't recognize him. That was Baoqiang? His image in this movie is so different from before."

The two chatted as they walked, full of praise for Wang Baoqiang.

They were also extremely shocked by the rapid progress of Wang Baoqiang's acting skills.

"I heard from Songwen that Director Chen plans to use this movie to get Baoqiang an award," Huang Bo suddenly said.

"With Baoqiang's acting skills, winning an award is nothing. I think Baoqiang can definitely do it!" Wang Xun was very confident that Wang Baoqiang could win an award.

"I think he could even win a Film Emperor award," Huang Bo also said with a smile.

Afterwards, the two continued walking and chatting about the plot of "Hello, Mr. Shu." The movie's storyline had also made a significant impact on them.
