Chapter 0240 "Escape Times" Premiere
"Mr. Lin, the news I heard from the major theater chains is that currently, except for some relatively remote areas, the tickets for "Escape Age" in the theaters of all major theater chains have basically been sold out, and the attendance rate has exceeded 95. As long as the quality of the movie is
If it doesn’t collapse, if its reputation doesn’t collapse, their box office performance will probably not be bad.”
"Oh, I see."
"Mr. Lin, there is a lot of resentment among movie fans online right now. Shuangmu Cinema has received a lot of messages asking for the release of "The Age of Escape"."
"China is not the only one with science fiction blockbusters this year. Let the theaters support it and push blockbusters from Lighthouse Country first. If movie fans insist on watching Chinese science fiction blockbusters, they will recommend "Armed Sky City". It was released before
Haven't we compared all the promotional materials? The effect won't be much worse, it's just that Han Lan's popularity has overwhelmed them too much after the Spring Festival Gala."
"I understand, Mr. Lin."
Lin Guiyi looked out the window, feeling inexplicably uneasy. After thinking about it, he called Wang Sheng who was about to go out: "Brother Sheng, buy me a movie ticket for "Armed Sky City", the latest show, and then
Buy me a copy of "Escape"."
"good."
Wang Sheng agreed without much thought.
"Armed Sky City" is easy to get, and you can get in-house tickets at its own theaters. As for "Escape", the movie tickets are currently sold out. If you want to get the latest show, it will probably take some effort.
But, isn't this the responsibility of an assistant?
Help the boss solve the problem, rather than find out what's wrong with the boss's request.
…
…
Yanjing Recreation Cinema.
It's an older cinema, and its equipment may only be at the level of a third-rate cinema. It can't even play 3D movies, and can only play the 2D version of "The Age of Escape".
But even so, it's hard to get a vote.
I am afraid that Tomahawk Entertainment also underestimated the number of fans of Han Lan and the desire of Chinese science fiction fans for a high-quality domestic science fiction movie.
The promotional video released previously has greatly aroused their interest.
Now, even if they can only grab tickets for the 2D version of the movie, they will come over with great expectations to support it.
Cross-eyed film critic Yi Jianmei, a famous film critic, is not a particularly persistent science fiction fan, but due to work, he had to go to great lengths to get a ticket for the first screening of "Era of Escape".
Putting aside the quality of the movie itself, the starring role of Han Lan alone is worthy of him choosing "Escape" as the first movie to review this year among so many blockbusters in the same period.
In fact, many film critics are like this. Now just after the Spring Festival Gala, Han Lan is in a mess. I passed some shopping malls along the way and could hear his "Blue and White Porcelain" everywhere, even on some TVs and computers used for display.
Playing "Blue and White Porcelain".
If you don't take advantage of this heat, your head will really be beaten by a pig!
I entered the screening room, found my seat and sat down.
Yi Jianmei glanced around and couldn't find a few empty seats. You must know that this is just a theater with no sense of existence, so aren't those large theaters already full?
"I hope the quality of "Escape" will not set the lower limit for Chinese science fiction movies..."
Yi Jianmei couldn't help but mutter.
At this time, the logo lit up on the movie screen, and the movie was about to start. The audience in the screening room also stopped communicating and looked at the screen with some anticipation.
Those who are willing to go to such a remote cinema to watch a movie during the Chinese New Year are obviously fans of science fiction or the starring role.
Soon, various commercial logos were passed and the main film entered.
At the beginning of the movie, there is a scene overlooking the earth from outer space.
This is naturally a special effect, and it is not a very gorgeous one, but even so, there was a burst of exclamations in the cinema.
There is no way, the Chinese science fiction movies in this world are really bad! This kind of shots have appeared in previous movies, the earth is fake and looks like a globe, and some people just use the globe to make fun of it.
At this moment, a special effect that looked as if it were real suddenly appeared, which immediately satisfied the expectations of movie fans.
"Oh my God, this scene is not in the promotional video! It doesn't look like the kind of movie that has nothing but promotional videos!"
"It's great! This earth is exactly the same as what was photographed by satellite! No, it's even prettier than what was photographed by satellite!"
Hearing the whispers from the people next to him, Yi Jianmei shook her head helplessly. This level of special effects is actually normal in a lighthouse country movie, so why should you brag about it?
How low are your expectations and requirements for Chinese science fiction blockbusters?
But it was only a short section, and the scene quickly returned to the earth.
There are no special effects, it is a scene shot in real time.
The three generations of the protagonist's family were watching Jupiter through telescopes on the beach. It was a very ordinary conversation.
Yi Jianmei shook her head secretly, realizing that this movie was going to follow the old path of Chinese science fiction blockbusters. It would make youth romance movies, fantasy movies, and children's movies under the guise of science fiction.
In fact, the special effects are just that little.
At this moment, a large mountain in the distance in the background of the movie caught Yi Jianmei's attention, but before he could take a closer look, the camera had already passed.
Because it is a distant view and it is still at night, most viewers can only vaguely see some outlines.
"What is this? A mountain of steel? Is it a special effect? Or is it a real scene?" Yi Jianmei couldn't help but mutter.
"It should be a planetary engine. It was mentioned in the previous promotional video." The movie fan sitting next to him whispered to him after hearing this.
Yi Jianmei also remembered it. He had done his homework before coming here and reviewed the promotional video and promotional song released by the movie twice. Planetary engines were indeed mentioned in them, but no detailed location shots were given.
screen.
It turns out that this is what a planetary engine is? A big steel mountain?
Can this thing push the earth to escape from the solar system? Even if there are more than 10,000 as mentioned in the previous promotional video, it is impossible, right?
Yi Jianmei smiled and shook his head. In any case, this kind of bold creativity is still worthy of encouragement. At least it is better than the previous copycat sci-fi blockbusters from the Lighthouse Country, which turned out to be poor movies, right?
With the dialogue between three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in the movie, more and more science fiction elements have appeared, such as rockets and dungeons.
The interest of science fiction fans was also aroused again, and they began to secretly speculate on the subsequent plot.
And after a news broadcast mixed with reality, the story background of the movie finally appeared.
"The sun is aging rapidly and continues to expand. In a hundred years, the sun will expand to the point of engulfing the entire earth..."
This part was included in the promotional video that was released in advance, but now it is moved to the big screen in the cinema, and the picture is even more shocking!
It’s obvious that this special effect cost money!
Later, more and more scenes and special effects appeared that were fake and real, which also made movie fans shout that it was worth the ticket price!
Especially when countless rockets around the world take off and the picture slowly zooms in and out from the ground to the outer space, many people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
Two words were written in my eyes: shocking!
A kind of shock that comes from the pursuit of big events by big countries, a kind of shock that comes from the power of human unity, and a kind of shock that comes from the very core of collectivism!
Chapter completed!
