Chapter 248: Offline in advance

Huaying Company has set the schedule for "The Desperate" on November 12th, which happens to be Saturday. I won't go to work tomorrow. Everyone can go to the cinema to enjoy the excitement brought by Hollywood blockbusters in the evening.

Due to the debate in the newspaper, most people in the capital knew about this.

Older people will pass by listening to it. The young people are really active, they like new things.

Watching Hollywood blockbusters has undoubtedly become a fashion, and it would be more embarrassing to watch them with your girlfriend.

However, buying tickets has become a problem, especially in Beijing, where there are not many cinemas screened, and long queues are lined up outside the cinema, and movie tickets are extremely popular, which has led to the emergence of ticket sellers.

The ticket seller sold a movie ticket worth 15 yuan to 50 yuan, and the supply was still in short supply.

This was impossible before.

Speaking of which, it has a lot to do with the promotion of the news media. The bigger the argument, the more interesting the audience can be. Of course, Hollywood blockbusters themselves are attractive, and everyone wants to watch it.

"Brother, can you get the internal tickets? Those ticket sellers are so unreliable." Lin Xiaoling complained.

"What? Your students in the film academy are also interested? Aren't you guys engaged in art?" Lin Zixuan teased.

"We look at it with a critical perspective, and if we don't go, how to know how to criticize it." Lin Xiaoling defended.

"Don't make excuses. I don't have any tickets here. Anyway, I've seen it, it's just that. There's nothing to watch, there's no art at all. It's not suitable for you to watch. You should do whatever you should do." Lin Zixuan joked.

"You are fooling me. A professor from our college read it in advance. It is said that it is quite shocking." Lin Xiaoling said disbelief.

"I have a ticket here, it's Sunday night. Do you want it?" Mu Shanshan interrupted.

"Where are you, sister-in-law?" Lin Xiaoling said embarrassedly.

"I don't like watching movies with crime themes like this. They are all fighting and killing, and it's meaningless." Mu Shanshan explained.

"Then thank you sister-in-law." Lin Xiaoling said happily.

The movie tickets in Mu Shanshan's hand were given by someone from Huaying Company. The guest invited by "Cultural Interview" a few days ago was Wang Xiufu, deputy general manager of Huaying Company. This person is a reformist.

Introducing Hollywood blockbusters is a social hot topic, so "Cultural Interview" will naturally not be missed.

Sometimes, when Lin Zixuan sees a certain news and thinks it is worth exploring, he will recommend it to Mu Shanshan.

Facts have proved that after the broadcast of "Cultural Interview" in this way, it will have a considerable social response, or it may coincide with a document that the country wants to issue.

This invisibly increases the weight of "Cultural Interview", and this program can always be in line with the pulse of this era.

A colleague at China Television Station knew that Mu Shanshan's father was an official of the Ministry of Culture, so he would not have any ideas.

"You really don't go to watch it? The movie is pretty good. It's reviewed. There are no bloody scenes. I'm afraid that children will watch it too." Lin Zixuan asked after Lin Xiaoling left.

"You don't go, why am I going?" Mu Shanshan asked back.

"I said it earlier. I don't want to watch it again. No matter how good the movie is, it will be uncomfortable if I watch too many movies." Lin Zixuan woke up and realized, "Otherwise, let's support domestic movies. There are a few good movies tomorrow night. I remember that there are romance movies with a very literary name."

In order to snipe "The Legend of the Destiny", several film studios took out the movies they made in their own factories.

These films are of great quality in domestic films, but most of them are art films and main theme movies.

In this way, on Saturday night, when others were excited to watch Hollywood blockbusters, Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan went to a theater in Xicheng District to watch movies, and the ticket price was six yuan.

Unlike Hollywood blockbusters that require queues to buy tickets, there are not many viewers here.

The two walked into the cinema, and the screening hall was not filled with one-quarter of the seats, and it seemed empty.

They chose a seat to sit down and waited for the movie to be screened. A girl not far away complained that her boyfriend had not bought tickets for "The Legend of Destiny" and had to watch domestic films.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan looked at each other and smiled.

When two people watch movies, it doesn’t matter what movies they watch. What’s important is that they watch together, that’s enough.

The movie begins and the screening room becomes quiet.

It can be seen that the director of this film has put in some effort, but it is still a bit old-fashioned. If it were popular in the 1980s, the audience will not buy it now.

This shows that the system of state-owned film studios is outdated and the director’s thoughts are rigid. If you don’t learn new things, you will not keep up with the times.

This is still a problem left over from the planned economy era.

Now Hollywood blockbusters have entered China, forcing film factories to reform and forced film directors and actors to liberate their minds, otherwise they will be eliminated by the audience.

Halfway through the movie, the audience left.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan saw the ending, although the ending was expected, it was a rare weekend to pass the time anyway.

After leaving the cinema, the two went to have a midnight snack and then returned home.

With the release of "The World of Destiny", the Chinese audience opened their eyes. It is said that when watching the scene of the collision between the train and the prison car, many viewers clutched the chair tightly with their hands, and were so nervous.

Whether it is the compact storyline or the large number of special stunt shots, it left a deep impression on the audience.

For a time, through word of mouth, the people in the capital rushed to watch this Hollywood blockbuster.

They used to watch foreign movies of third and fourth rank, and were bad Western movies introduced by Huaying Company at a buyout price of 20,000 US dollars. This time they saw a real Hollywood blockbuster.

On Monday, there was a long queue outside the theater, and there was no such lively scene in the cinema for many years.

According to incomplete statistics from Huaying Company, "The Legend of Destiny"'s box office in Beijing exceeded 700,000 on Saturday night and Sunday alone.

It is undeniable that there will be more audiences on weekends, but even so, the box office in Beijing alone may exceed 4 million in one week of screening.

There are six cities in the country, Shanghai City and Huacheng are both economically developed regions, and they will be more enthusiastic about Hollywood blockbuster audiences.

By this rough calculation, the box office of "The Legend of Destiny" may exceed 30 million in one week.

Even Huaying Company did not expect this number. They thought it would be good to have a box office of more than 10 million. They underestimated the strong demand for entertainment life by the people.

After this box office was spread, it caused a strong response within the film industry.

The box office of Hollywood blockbusters is higher in one day than that of domestic movies in one month, and this gap is so frustrating.

It is precisely because of their frustration that they are more determined to resist Hollywood blockbusters.

In Beijing, people from the film industry united to ask "The Desperate World" to withdraw from the theater immediately and take offline in advance. (To be continued.)
