Chapter 421: Chapter 420 Awkwardness Strikes Chapter 421: Chapter 420 Awkwardness Strikes With just ten minutes left before the movie started, people were everywhere, bustling and chatting–

“It’s really not easy to get a ticket, and even when you do, it’s just a corner seat.”

“That’s true, just having a ticket is good enough. Wales’s movies are always awesome. It’s about to start–I can’t wait!”

Such discussions could be heard all around. Wang Hao just smiled and shrugged his shoulders, ready to see what Hollywood had to offer!

“Guan Jing, Lu Lu, this is a great learning opportunity,” said Jiang Ruoyun, glancing at the time and noting it was nearly showtime. She added with a smile, “Pay close attention, and after it’s over, we’ll go out and summarize our thoughts.”

They nodded in unison: “Okay!”

Soon, as the lights dimmed, the entire theater hushed instantly.

The movie began.

All eyes in the audience were fixated on the screen, and as the plot unfolded, gasps periodically filled the room. After all, it was a science fiction thriller–there were even screams from many of the female viewers during the more thrilling moments!

But that was just for the average viewer. As for Wang Hao…

Just from reading the film’s synopsis, he felt it seemed like a fairly standard space science fiction movie, with perhaps some added murder-mystery thrills.

But when he actually started watching, he realized that what had been added was not so much thrilling elements, but rather…

Dumb and cute elements…

The opening scene featured eight good-looking but low-intelligence astronauts on a spaceship, capturing a meteorite from outer space. There wasn’t much to say about this part; it was just the beginning and still relatively usual.

But then, when they brought the meteorite back, they discovered a liver cell on it so small it could only be seen with a microscope. So the scientists inside started to cultivate it… Just how dumb and cute can you be, not even conducting a safety assessment before reviving an organism from the depths of space? Who knows what you’re bringing back to life?

This was what you call a small step for man, a giant leap towards annihilating mankind.

Wang Hao’s eyes bugged: “What the hell is this? A space creature treated so frivolously?”

This was so dumb it left you speechless, really. How did these people become scientists with this sort of intelligence…

Indeed, as expected, without any surprises, the group of foolish scientists started feeding the little creature, which grew rapidly in size, like a bean sprouting. The brainless astronauts didn’t notice how fast it was growing and happily named it Evans…

Then, Evans just kept growing faster and faster, and while the scientists were still over the moon, one day for some unfathomable reason–one of them, maybe his brain had taken in water or something–decided to poke the creature with a needle…

“F*ck!” blurted Wang Hao, who could no longer hold back his swear words, “Is this guy brain-dead? He pokes a creature that obviously looks dangerous with a needle? Asking for a quick death?!”

True to his word, and without any surprise, the dumb scientist bit the dust…

Brutal, wow!

Everyone finally realized how dangerous Evans was but by then it was too late. After eating the foolish scientist, Evans started to grow rapidly. Now the scientists were thinking about killing it!

“This intelligence…” Wang Hao covered his face in disbelief, “How did they become scientists?”

Sure enough, another foolish scientist went in to kill Evans, and, unsurprisingly–Evans crawled inside the scientist’s mouth. So brutal! I love it!

Soon after, that guy was also dead.

Before long, Evans crawled out of his mouth, now resembling an octopus with significantly bigger size!

If they had just sealed the lab properly at that point, everything might have been fine. But no, the stupid scientists just had to drag out the dead scientist’s body, which accidentally breached the lab…

The solution was simply to close the firefighting ports!

But no, it proved an ancient Eastern saying: no zuo no die! Damn it, they couldn’t close them all at once! They had to be done one by one, and by the time they reached the last one, Mars Kevin had already escaped the lab!

Evans was out! Evans could now roam freely around the space station!

What followed was all too predictable…

By the time the entire movie had ended, Wang Hao felt like he had developed cringe disorder…

The audience was beginning to leave the theater, with quite a few people feeling it was thrilling and exciting, though of course, if one were to look at it from a slightly more professional perspective…

Once outside the theater, the four gathered in the rest area. Qiu Lulu looked at Wang Hao with wide eyes and asked, “Teacher Wang Hao, as a ‘seasoned’ industry screenwriter, what do you think of today’s movie?”

She emphasized the word “seasoned,” clearly not very trusting of Wang Hao.

“Well, about that…” Wang Hao took a deep breath before replying, “Do you want to hear the truth or the sugar-coated version?”

Guan Jing laughed and asked, “What’s the sugar-coated version?”

Wang Hao slapped his thigh, “Great! It’s superbly done! That’s Hollywood for you, such epic scenes!”

The three women exchanged looks–their tone made it clear they were being sarcastic!

“Isn’t it good?” Qiu Lulu tilted her head looking at Wang Hao, “This is a big Hollywood production, with an investment rumored to be two hundred million US dollars! You saw the effects yourself, I think it was quite good.”

“Then I’ll have to tell you the truth,” Wang Hao sighed lightly, “To be honest, this movie was barely tolerable. Not to mention anything else, just the logical fallacies alone, I spotted several! That’s a big no-no in the screenwriting world!”

“What?!” Qiu Lulu’s eyes widened in shock, “Is it that bad?”

You don’t believe it? Watch and I’ll tell you!
