Sheng Tang and Gu Jiahui watched the new finished film together.
Wang Sheng shot countless extra scenes at the time, which maintained the story's integrity and originality in the new film, yet the use of the camera was vastly different.
If you focus solely on the shots instead of the plot, it seems like an entirely new movie.
The new film also appears lengthy, dull, and even manifests the core of despair and sorrow typical of literary films.
Sheng Tang, the female lead, felt there were areas in her performance that could still be improved, whereas both Gu Jiahui and Wang Sheng were very satisfied with the new finished film.
After it ended, Sheng Tang stood up and stretched her hands and feet in the small screening room.
"How is it?" Wang Sheng asked Sheng Tang and Gu Jiahui.
Gu Jiahui: "The artistic quality is perfect, you removed all commercial elements."
"Yes," the director said, "this should make it more convincing for the Cyan Blue Awards."
