Chapter 414: Chapter 392 Xianyu the Old Thief_1
The so-called verbal condemnation and written castigation, the former is the continuous swearing in the movie theater, while the latter is people picking up their mobile phones, venting their own emotions by publishing movie reviews online.
But…
When many angry viewers actually picked up their mobile phones, opened the movie review websites and prepared to accuse Xian Yu of “deception”, the fingers falling on the screens hesitated.
Should we blame Xian Yu for making such a heartbreaking movie?
Clearly not.
Is there anything wrong with the performance of the movie?
Clearly not.
After a moment of silence, accompanied by a sigh of helplessness, even the angriest viewer couldn’t find a stance to criticize ——
It would be doing injustice to the great movie.
Their heartfelt love for the movie and the shock from a ten-year wait eventually outweighed all complaints, but the sadness had become so thick that it could not be diluted, lingering for an extended time.
This is the ultimate of “Hachiko”.
The ultimate of….
Depression.

“I was excited to greet Xian Yu’s new work, hoping to experience a warm and healing immersion, but watched a movie that made me cry from beginning to end. I’m trembling while typing this, making many typos and corrections. Well, perhaps this is the only film I immensely love but may never have the courage to watch again.”
On the Starsky website, a renowned movie review site.
This hot-review seemed to lay a foundation for other reviews. The “Hachiko” review section late at night was filled with heartbroken people:
“Perhaps Professor An also waited for Xiao Ba at the gateway of heaven for eighty years.”
“Teacher Xian Yu, forgive me for now considering you Xianyu the old thief, why did you make the movie so good that even someone like me who likes to mock others crying over a movie ended up becoming one of those people I once mocked.”
“After you left, I dedicated the rest of my life to you…”
“I’d rather believe that Xiao Ba had no pain, only happiness, on the night of his passing because Professor An came in the train of heaven to take him home.”
“God knows how much I like Zhang Xiuming, but the best performance in the whole film, I have to give it to Xiao Ba.”
“After Xiao Black died, there was a void in Madam An’s heart, and after Professor An died, Xiao Ba gave up the rest of his life.”
“I feel that I’m going to cry out all the tears of my next few years tonight.”
“I wish so much that the movie, as everyone expected, would be warm and healing, showing mutual redemption between man and animal, so that when Professor An passed away, it felt like Xiao Ba’s silhouette solidified into eternal loneliness.”
“…”
Ol’ Zhou, who still couldn’t sleep, kept refreshing the reviews on the Starsky website.
His face was full of mischievous laughter at first.
But as the laughter carried on, he silently lit a cigarette.
Under the faint glow of the lighter and the computer screen, his smile was strained.
This is the last one, thought Ol’ Zhou.
Actually, Ol’ Zhou quit smoking when he was young, but this movie… It was too consuming. Without the tiny numbing sensation brought by the nicotine passing through his lungs, he feared he couldn’t bear it.
…
And on a forum…
A late-night post suddenly exploded in popularity: “Who the hell said this movie is made by Xianyu the old thief for all the single dogs to watch, step up, I promise I won’t beat you to death!”
The heat of the post was mainly reflected in the massive replies that followed.
“As soon as I walked in, I saw a couple sitting next to me, and I was immediately crippled by the shock. When Professor An died, the couple cried their eyes out, but all I could do was hold my knees and cry!”
“No movie has ever been so unfriendly to single dogs!”
“Damn it, Singles’ Day is already a bit sad, but after watching this movie, it’s not just a bit sad anymore, I feel like I’m starting to become introverted.”
“Do you think us couples have it easy? After the movie, my girlfriend who always opposed me getting a dog, actually made me get one in the middle of the night. And it had to be the same breed as Xiao Ba. Where the hell am I meant to find a dog in the middle of the night?”
“You up there can be a bit more flexible in your thinking, you can’t find a real dog in the middle of the night, but there are many sad lone dogs.”
“I returned home and cried my eyes out holding my dog, even though the little rascal took advantage of my absence to chew up my new pair of sneakers.”
“…”
In the end, even the original poster who claimed that this movie was made by Xianyu for single dogs showed up in the comments section. Obviously, he was one of the first batch of audience: “I’m guilty. I really thought Xianyu the old thief was considering our single dogs. Today’s midnight snack is pickled fish soup, let’s drink to that, brothers!”
Everyone was trying to soothe their emotions.
But obviously, most people will have a hard time healing in the short term.
Meanwhile, through the spread of these movie reviews, Xianyu, once beloved by all, gradually completed his transition from a respectable teacher to an old thief.
In the words of a certain netizen:
“Birds of a feather flock together, none of those three bros are good people. Chu Kuang, the old thief, not to mention the countless times he’s killed Biyao, and Shadow, who obviously possesses top-level painting skills yet always deceives the readers, and now even Xianyu has become bad. I used to say that Xianyu is the last moral man among the Three Bros!”
All those who make fans suffer are thieves!
Someone even confidently asserted: “Actually, all of this is premeditated. No wonder Xianyu wrote a song called ‘Ten Years.’ He is clearly satirizing us in a cryptic way. After ten years, the once inseparable couples meet again, each having found their own partners, becoming the most familiar strangers. But in the same ten years, Xiao Ba is still waiting for its Professor An through wind and rain, and never gives up!”
A so-called couple is really no more persistent than a dog.
Once this statement appeared, it was immediately shared by many people. The same ten years, whether it’s a coincidence or not, really makes sense if you think about it carefully.
In ten years, how many human couples have broken up?
As for Xiao Ba, a dog that supposedly doesn’t know what emotions are, it waits tirelessly in wind, rain and snow, until it completely dies of old age.
Compared to the fragility of human emotions, the loyalty of dogs really makes one sigh.
By this time, “Hachiko” on Starry Sky Network has a score of 9.5!
This score is even higher than Xianyu’s widely accepted “Flirting Scholar”, which is a rare high score on the entire Starry Sky Network!
And with this score, a new trend emerges in the comments section:
“Damn it, why should only we, a group of people, be tortured by Xianyu late into the night? I hereby solemnly suggest that everyone should recommend this movie to the people around them. Nobody can run away, all of you must cry with me!”
As soon as this leading comment appeared, it immediately gained strong support from the first batch of viewers!
“Great idea!”
“Off to recommend it to my buddies!”
“A big gift for my bestie!”
“I’ve already recommended it to my friends and posted it on my circle.”
“Here’s a little trick for recommending, make sure to tell your friends that this is a very warm and healing movie.”
“Got it, keywords, warm! Healing!”
“…”
The army of people who trick others is ready.
