It feels like overnight, the advertisements for "After You" have filled major cities, especially at subway stations and bus stops, where you can see posters of Jasmine and Bi Xiao together.

The posters clearly state: Nationwide release on June 16.

This date was carefully chosen by Ben, after consulting a fortune teller, who said it was very auspicious. Just one week after the end of the college entrance exam, graduation parties have been held, gatherings have taken place, and graduates are starting to relax.

Some who are unsure of what to do next may browse online to see what's currently trending.

Upon checking the internet, wow, everyone is talking about the upcoming youth film "After You."

Those who attended the preview screenings all gave high praise, without revealing too much of the plot. They generally mentioned feeling like their youth had returned while watching it, urging those who want to experience that feeling not to miss it.

Some influencers mentioned feeling relieved after watching it, as it provided a release for their pent-up emotions, allowing them to start fresh.

In conclusion, they all believe Jasmine has once again contributed a very classic film that is perfect for students who have just finished their college entrance exams to watch together.

With a runtime of less than two hours, it portrays the bittersweet, efforts, and struggles of seventeen and eighteen-year-old. It delves into the conflicts unique to that period, the difficult balance between academics and relationships, the expectations of teachers and parents, tested friendships, and the innocent promises made...

Some things will be abandoned, while others will be disappointed.

That's youth for everyone.

Looking back as an adult, you may feel that your younger self was somewhat foolish, but at that time, your worries and troubles were genuine, fussing over things that now seem trivial.

...

After watching the movie, many came back and wrote vague yet emotional posts.

Although viewers couldn't quite figure out the plot, they could sense the deep emotions expressed by those who watched it.

It's like they felt the urge to reconnect with old friends after watching it.

Some even reached out to boys and girls they had once liked.

These individuals scrambled to secure tickets for the official release, claiming they wanted to watch it multiple times.

-- "If it were another film, I would doubt the online hype after the preview, but when it comes to Jasmine's reputation, I trust it and have already booked my tickets."

-- "I hope the newcomer playing the male lead won't drag Jasmine down."

-- "The media reviews say the male lead is good, stating that he captured the essence of the character."

--"Hmm, I'm not really thinking about the male lead; my impression of Jasmine still lingers from 'Black swan,' I can't imagine what her youth film will be like..."

-- "Then, you should revisit the girls, sweet is quite youth-like."

-- "Sweet? Look at the movie poster! The aura of the class flower in my memory is just like this, my youth has returned!"

...

This guy was quickly criticized, as he was asked to show the picture of the class flower to compare with Jasmine?! ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ

-- "I said aura, vibe, who mentioned looks?"

-- "A quiet high school graduate whispered: our class flower and school beauty were not this pure."

--"Speaking honestly after attending the preview, this movie is great in all aspects, but two things: the premise is flawed! And it's a tearjerker!"

-- "I know it's a tearjerker... I saw a big V on Facebook suggesting that those who have booked tickets should bring two packs of tissues, preferably pocket tissues, not just for themselves but to share with their brothers all around."

-- "You mentioned the premise, what's wrong with it?"

-- "Look at the female lead on the poster, just someone like her, who in the class was nothing out of the ordinary, claimed to have no outstanding qualities except for being good at studying."

-- "Are they joking? Mediocre Jasmine?"

--"Alright, I believe it, I believe it."

The actors themselves have a good reputation, with no history of deceiving the audience, coupled with endorsements from media influencers and extensive cinema promotions.

It seems there are quite a few early ticket buyers.

Ben is a troublemaker, who even sent out his online supporters to hype up the guys who graduated but didn't have the chance to confess their love yet, saying "Your last chance has come."

Super-rich second-generation kids all praised the movie, even those who have never experienced the sweetness of first love were moved to tears by the male and female leads. This movie is simply amazing, no need to say more, it breaks down anyone's emotional barriers.

Ben is daring when it comes to making money, he thinks big and acts on it.

He arranged all sorts of publicity stunts.

And what happened?

On the first day of the public screening, right after the first show ended, a group of guys exploded on the online promoters who went to sell their products.

-- "Damn! Is this what you call breaking down emotional defenses???" (˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )

-- "What's wrong, bro?"

-- "Haha. The girl we went to watch the movie with didn't break down, but I did on the spot. I brought a pack of tissues, used half of it myself."

-- "Who hasn't, right?"

-- "The guys need to lighten up, too busy crying, no one's watching you."

Is this the main point??? ̊ଳ ̊ᵎᵎᵎᵎ

The main point is my planned confession was ruined because of this movie, any hint of ambiguity before was shattered. The girl cried her eyes out in the cinema, scolding the male lead Ning Hao as stupid, saying even Ning Hao is unreliable, she has given up on him and prefers focusing on studying rather than dating.

The movie is great, but the goddess I've been chasing for so long is now out of reach.

It's a negative review, must be!

Feeling deceived by the online promoters, this guy was furious and gave the movie a one-star rating, and wrote a heartfelt essay. The essay got too many likes and ended up in a prominent position.

After chasing the goddess for so long without success, she was moved after watching the movie and wanted to see how other viewers reacted, seeking some resonance... She climbed up to read the comments and saw the familiar ID, avatar, and story content... 

Seeing the one-star rating above the essay made the girl angry, she messaged the guy on QQ:

"Just watched the movie and got a bit emotional, I want to reconsider your pursuit after calming down, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, giving a malicious one-star review, it's too much! You disappointed me!"

... ...

... ...

Just now, confidently giving a one-star rating, he took a screenshot of the review and shared it with the joyous group of friends on the forum.

Five minutes later, he posted the goddess' latest reply.

-- "Screenshot"

--"Regret, I regret it. Can I take it back now, guys?"

-- "┭┮﹏┭┮"

This kind of innocent person is still in the minority, most people are still catching their breath. I remember back when "Waiting for Dawn" was released, the audience cried a lot.

The core of the movie was patriotism, although the female lead Ding Man died, she died bravely and heroically. Later, He Ming avenged her and remembered this love for the rest of his life. The movie was mainly touching; even if you cried, it wasn't loud sobbing, but more silent weeping.

This one is different.

Youth movies focus on trivial matters in adolescence, and many scenes are relatable since they reflect real-life experiences.

With the emotional boost from Jasmine, Andrew's great grandma, the sadness becomes a hundred times more intense.

The result speaks for itself.

From the moment the female lead saw that photo, the audience in the theater couldn't stop crying. When she was at her lowest, she dragged the audience down with her, causing heartache and distress.

Even though she decided to let go in the end, breaking up with Ning Hao and preparing to start anew by studying hard and going to college. 

The audience couldn't leave.

How to put it?

When the female lead made her decision and turned away, she cried, she looked so sad.

It is said that after the first show ended, many people couldn't leave the theater, all crying... 

Many girls who dressed up nicely for the movie ended up with panda eyes from crying so much.

Some boyfriends hold their girlfriends to comfort them.

They say we are different, but we are doing well.

When with sisters, they cry together, then help each other walk out. Some walk while hiccupping, some squat down to wipe tears while walking.

At times like these, there are always people taking the opportunity to upload short videos.

After seeing the trending topic #Jasmine's movie premiered with thousands of audiences shedding tears in the theater#, netizens who witnessed the scene from the previous screening got excited and joined in.

Oh my, this is unbelievable.

-- Last year when my grandmother suddenly passed away, the mourning at home was just like this.

-- My grandmother had a grand funeral, didn't have this kind of commotion, it really scared me!

-- Is this for real? What kind of movie can make people cry like a baby?

-- It's out of line... there were even tough guys there.

-- Embarrassing.

-- You know what? If you dare, go watch it yourself, you're no match for us!

-- Oh, did you cry your eyes out after watching the movie? →_→

It's strange that those who watched the movie all say they feel sorry for the main characters, especially the actress, but when asked where precisely in the plot, they can't say. The storyline is just okay, isn't it just a couple breaking up because of the supporting actress?

But this crying fest is not fabricated.

Not to mention those who go to the cinema, even those at the shopping center see people coming out of the adjacent movie theater crying.

Chinese people love to join in the fun.

This commotion attracted many skeptics who wanted to experience it firsthand.

No matter how confident they were before entering, boasting about how much they love tragedies and melodramas, they couldn't resist breaking down in tears.

The clever cinema owner came up with an idea.

What did they do?

They urgently printed a few posters, claiming it was the most tear-jerking movie in history, inviting everyone to come and see. Those who could resist crying would receive a special gift at the theater.

The owner personally prepared small gifts, hung in lucky bags on the wall. Those inside may not necessarily be valuable, at least ninety percent worth only a few bucks.

The key is, if you manage to get one, you can go back and show off, saying you didn't cry while everyone else did, you're awesome, you have evidence. The cinema where this activity took place saw a surge in ticket sales in a matter of minutes.

People flocked to join the event just for the excitement.

However, Sister Jas is just so awesome that even if every game is fully occupied, very few can actually get the reward goodie bag at the end of the day. There are brothers who managed to grab a goodie bag, and under everyone's admiration, they opened up their own goodie bag, and took out a keychain with a round pendant that read "iron-hearted."

Those who were still sobbing at the time instantly burst into laughter.

Someone shared this story online when they got back.

Now the theater owners have also learned how to attract customers.

It's a hit, let's get the event started!

Speaking of Jasmine, since the movie premiered, she has been receiving complaints from friends every day saying they cried a lot, really cried a lot.

It is said that even the two top stars couldn't hold back their tears.

As for those super-rich second-generation kids who went to see the movie together, it seemed like they lost face in the theater. Many who had never experienced the sweetness and bitterness of a first love were there sobbing, then tweeted saying, "So this is what it feels like, the pure campus love feeling, huh?"

Everyone gave feedback, except for Andrew Yan, who remained completely silent.

Jasmine was really curious about how he would react to crying, so she asked Yan to take a break from writing scripts and watch a movie together.

To support the box office, she personally bought two tickets, and they both went in wearing hats and masks.

After watching, Jasmine cried until she hiccuped. Andrew Yan remained calm, went to collect the small gift from the theater, then went to buy a pack of tissues for Jasmine, who was still crying.

"Wuwuwu... why aren't you crying? You have no heart, you have no youth, you're stone-hearted! You're a stone-hearted man!" (˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )

Andrew Yan looked helpless.

"I write detective novels, what kind of tragic cases haven't I dealt with? Even if it means risking the dignity of an author, I can't cry here, okay?"

Seeing her crying like a fool while holding a tissue, Andrew Yan was truly at a loss. "You can even make yourself cry from your own acting? Quickly wipe your tears and snot, go back, be careful not to be recognized by someone."

"Sniff... You're not human, yet you set me up for ****..."

Another counterattack... unsuccessful.
