Of course, the instances of second-time viewers are few.
After most people watch a movie, they wonât revisit it anytime soon.
The memory of just having watched a movie is too vivid; rewatching it would inevitably lose a bit of that freshness.
Itâs better to wait a while until youâve forgotten some of the movieâs content- rewatching it then is much more enjoyable.
Thus.
As the first batch of audience finished viewing, the comments section for Catmillâs âFlirting Scholarâ was bustling â
âIâm gonna die laughing at this movie!â
âI just saw a barrage of comments, someone said they laughed like a goose, another said they laughed like a pig, and I laughed like a chicken: cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck.â
From now on, roaches shouldnât be called roaches, but Xiao Qiang instead. This naming is so damn clever, considering the roachâs survival ability; it totally deserves such a title!â
The comedic timing in this film is so dense, it could trigger claustrophobia!â
âThe misery competition part had me laughing till my muscles crampedâ¦.â
The movieâs design is so clever, aside from being funny, the ending where Tang Bohu stabs someone to death without a gun was a bit suave.â
âFor the first time in my life, I give an Internet-movie a perfect scoreâ¦I used to watch Internet-movies just for funâ¦but this whole movie is funâ¦.â
âThe comedy in this movie is very innovative, I donât know what to say, itâs both baffling and hilarious!â
âMy mom watched it with me, and we both couldnât stop laughing- â

Audiences have a certain disregard for network blockbusters-they donât really treat it seriously.
Even if they occasionally watch these movies, itâs just for amusement; they donât have high expectations.
However, âFlirting Scholarâ delivers a pleasant surprise to numerous viewers!
Itâs a classic comedy movie!
Catmillâs website has a rating function, with the highest score being ten.
And currently, the score for âFlirting Scholarâ has reached an astonishing 9.4!
Of course, this is also due to the low number of reviewers.
A movieâs score will inevitably be lowered as more people comment.
And there are some who specifically target high-scoring movies, then give them the minimum score, under the pretense of âbalancing it outâ.
To highlight their grasp of the big picture.
But for now, there arenât people who enjoy âbalancing it outâ, after watching
this movie, most people have simply enjoyed it.
Thereforeâ¦.
In Xian Yuâs Tribe comment section, a small bombshell was dropped.
Just became a fan! Came here to bow down to the great one, just finished watching âFlirting Scholarâ, the finest comedy film Iâve seen in years!â This is a new fan who only became Xian Yuâs fan after watching the movie.
And there are more than one such new fan:
Also became a fan after watching the movie, the scriptwriter turns out to be a composer, such a genius!â
With my many years of movie-watching experienceâ¦no matter what kind of movie I watchâ¦this movie is definitely going to be a hit!â
If this movie doesnât become a hit, thereâs no justice in the world! Itâs good enough even for a theatrical release!â
âSpent five bucks to watch such a classic movie, geez, feels like I got a great bargain, I must follow the scriptwriter GOAT.â
âKneel down to the great one!â
âI was busy today and didnât have time to go to the theater, a bit regretful, so I just found a network blockbuster to watch, but who would have thought Iâd get to watch such an excellent movie, Iâd support this movie even if it was in the theaters!â

Apart from new fans, old fans were also especially excited:
âWho dares to say Xian Yu becoming a screenwriter isnât his main job!â
âAfter watching the movie, I donât know what to say, how does Xian Yuâs brain operate? His music composition is already amazing, but his screenwriting is just as superb!â
âThis movie is undoubtedly phenomenal- â
I initially just gave it a casual watch, since I pride myself as Xian Yuâs fan, but I didnât expect to be pleasantly surprised!â
âXian Yu should make more movies in the future, weâre behind you!â
âI was wrong, I shouldnât have doubted Xian Yu. When I started watching the movie, I even told my friend online that this movie is definitely going to flop, but now my face feels pulverized!â
âJust watched for five minutes, and thenâ¦! impulsively jumped into itâ¦This is
the most worthwhile five dollars Iâve spent this year!â
âYouâre telling me this is a network blockbuster? Its ceiling has been upped by whole levels because of this movie!â

Humorous, innovative, surprising, delightful!
The first group of viewers gave the most direct and straightforward approval and reviews, especially the previously skeptical old fans of Xian Yu, who are extremely shocked right now!
Of course.
Some of the poems and couplets in the movie also caused some discussions. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, the discussions about the poems and couplets do not compare to that about the movie itself, after all, people watch movies mainly for the quality of the movie itself.
A good storyline is the key.
The rest, while done well, only serve as icing on the cake.
Moreover.
These people also highly recommended âFlirting Scholarâ to their friends and family through channels like the Tribe and circle of friends:
âQuickly come and watch, itâs a legendary network blockbuster!â
âThe first network blockbuster of July, I strongly recommend!â
âIf you donât laugh after watching this movie, Iâll send you a ten bucks red packet!â
âYou guys have to watch âFlirting Scholarâ, itâs a classic comedy!â
âOnly after watching âFlirting Scholarâ did I realize that Xian Yu is a writer who was distracted by composing, suggest everyone come and watch it, donât miss this spectacular show!â

The video site has a gifting feature.
That is, by spending five bucks, you can gift the movie to a friend, and then they can watch it for free.
The price of five bucks is only the cost of a few cigarettes.
So, after the first group of viewers finished the movie, not only did they recommend it vocally, some even spent an extra five bucks to share the movie with people they are close to for free.
Brothers⦠sisters⦠parentsâ¦
Even boyfriends⦠girlfriendsâ¦
Under such a wave of promotion, the views for âFlirting Scholarâ surged in a short time.
When it was five hours into the release of âFlirting Scholarâ.
The office for Penguin Video.
The department for Internet-movies.
The staff member Ji Hao, who was in charge of monitoring the data for this monthâs movie releases, suddenly broke the officeâs silence with a sharp voice:
âHoly cow, this movie is awesome!â
Usually, the first few hours of an Internet-movieâs release donât really have anything worth noting, and it typically takes until the second or third day to gauge which new release is more popular.
But there are always exceptions.
Sometimes, certain movies would explode with incredibly high popularity on the very first day of their release, so when Ji Hao let out a shrill exclamation, many colleagues in the department curiously looked towards Ji Haoâs computer screen, and some even joked:
âHow awesome?â
However, when this group saw what was on Ji Haoâs computer screen, the room fell into silence.
Immediately following that, there were sounds of inhaling sharply throughout the officeâ¦
