May 1st, 11.30 in the morning, in a small fourth-tier city.

The shopping mall that should have been quiet long ago is still bustling with people, and the reason is certainly not due to discount activities.

There is a Dadi Cinema here.

This holiday is a little embarrassing, it doesn’t last long, and many Chinese people have also changed their travel habits.

Therefore, watching movies has become a leisure choice for many people.

Today, at least three movies that can be considered blockbusters are premiering.

The small waiting room was full of people, all smiling and talking.

Azheng and Qiu Yu are team sweethearts. They are very busy at work, so they naturally need to take a good rest during holidays.

The itinerary has already been arranged. Watch a midnight movie, then have sex, and then fall asleep. It’s not perfect.

"Girl, why don't we buy a set meal first? I can't eat enough Coca-Cola popcorn anyway, so it won't affect my late-night snack." Azheng looked at many people queuing up there.

"Okay! It's up to you, I want Bingkuole!"

"Okay."

He agreed and walked over.

Just while waiting, I got a little bored and started looking at the promotional posters placed beside me.

result,

He ran back happily without even bothering to buy anything.

"Girl, what movie did you buy? Is it "The End of the World"?"

"What is the end of the world?" My girlfriend was a little confused: ""Spring and Summer", starring Xiao Lu, is super touching."

"Um...Okay, let's watch a movie tomorrow afternoon. You know Director Su Yan."

"I don't know."

"How could it be? Your favorite director of "We Got Married" has also made a movie, and it's a science fiction movie. I saw the poster and it felt good."

"Okay." Qiu Yu took out her mobile phone: "Let me book the tickets first."

"Okay!"

Five minutes later, Azheng came back with a drink.

"Dear, I'm sorry!"

"What's wrong?"

"The tickets for "The End of the World" tomorrow are all sold out, and the remaining ones are in the first three rows."

"If it's so hot, then it's okay. The day after tomorrow will do."

"The day after tomorrow...there will be no more."

...

In a movie theater in Shanghai, Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyun, both wearing caps on their heads, were sitting in the corner. Although they had to go to the company for a meeting when the box office came out tomorrow, this did not affect their little romance.

There are hundreds of people in the entire waiting hall. Now through mobile phones, it is basically possible to determine the attendance rate of this event. National data will still have to wait until tomorrow.

This theater is not big, with a total of six halls, and "The End of the World" occupies two of them. The occupancy rate is about 55%, which is very good, slightly higher than its competitors.

Of course, this is not representative in any way and does not indicate what the final result will be.

Yoona was sipping Coca-Cola and playing with Su Yan's hand.

The two of them enjoyed this rare leisure time.

After a while, the sound of ticket checking came over the radio.

They sat still until everyone had gone in, then they got up.

In Hall 5, the lights have been turned off and a public service announcement is playing on the screen.

Su Yan and the other two bent down to find their positions and looked around.

There were about 7.80 people there, most of them were men or couples. Like me, I put the drinks aside and adjusted my sitting position.

Although I have watched the finished film more than once, it is still different on the big screen.

As the dragon mark appeared, his heart beat faster.

Nine months, 270 days.

Finally released.

What he didn't know was that there was a little brother sitting not far from him. In addition to wearing 3D glasses, he also held a small notebook and a pen in his hand.

Dead vines and old trees.

It seems to be a very ordinary online name, but on Douban, it is considered to be somewhat famous.

He is a film critic and a special guest.

A good film critic should understand the cultural background involved in the film, the style and artistic purpose of each director, and be able to analyze the film's picture, color, tone, connection, dialogue, artistic features, lens editing, music, narrative plot and structure, etc.

Etc. To write well, you need to have certain writing skills, so this is an industry that seems simple but actually requires strength.

The reason why Laoshu is famous is not only because of his objective writing, but also because the movies he recommends can almost resonate with everyone.

The most important thing is that in the past two years, the operation of a certain movie cost him 20,000 yuan and asked him to write an article to brag about it. Instead of agreeing to talk about it, he directly posted the chat history to Weibo, which made the other party lose face.

This also made many netizens very curious about his true identity. Some said he was an insider, some said he was a famous director, and some said he was a rich second generation.

In short, The Old Tree has become the guiding light for many fans and netizens to choose movies.

I will come here to watch the premiere, which was also proposed by Douban, to select two films released on May Day to make comments.

That North American film was directly passed, and the IMBA rating fully explained the problem.

However, he hesitated for a while in "Spring and Summer" and "The End of the World". Although he was not optimistic about the starring role in the former, Qian Yu still has some ability, especially since he returned to the youth campus drama that he is good at.

But the latter invested 400 million, which is a huge amount of money for a domestic film, and it is a science fiction movie. Although the director Su Yan is a novice, the two promotional videos are remarkable.

In the end, Laoshu chose "The End of the World".

In 2060, a nuclear war broke out, the world fell into chaos, and the population dropped sharply.

Various war footage and news reports appeared on the screen.

Twenty seconds later, the camera faded to black and the subtitles appeared again.

In 2070, the person who rules mankind is not himself, but the AI ​​Hongmeng developed by scientists.

A huge white bunker appears - Hongmeng Base.

The camera circled around, gradually zooming out and up.

The sky is dark,

The occasional flash of lightning,

light up the night sky,

The city looks even more dilapidated,

quack quack,

I don’t know where the crow is coming from,

It proves that this is not a dead city.

The old withered tree stared at the screen and kept writing in his hand without having to lower his head at all.

"The Hollywood-style opening, the setting is not novel, it is a cliché that AI rules mankind, but the one-minute long shot is very interesting. The white bunker appears at the beginning, burying a line, and it is in sharp contrast with the surrounding desolate city. In the end,

Who lives there?

The city is not CG, it should be built, very sincere, the music should be played by a xun, very sad, with crows and night owls, it seems that the director has some special intention..."

If Su Yan saw what was written in Laoshu's notebook at this time, he would probably hold his hand and shout "Bosom friend".

The camera began to move down to a certain room in a dilapidated building.

There are old tables and chairs, empty bookshelves, and the windows have long lost their glass, and they can only rely on wooden boards to block the wind.

In the bedroom, the lights were dim, and the man on the bed had a face as golden as paper, as if he was on his deathbed, and beside him stood a boy holding a baby.

There was a small commotion in the theater.

Because in the close-up, everyone discovered that the person lying there with this vicissitudes of life was Chen Chichi, but after getting used to seeing him in comedy roles, there was no sense of disobedience.

"Boom!"

The huge thunder god came.

The father looked at his child like this, and the expression on his face was not only unwilling but also apologetic.

"I'm sorry, Zhou Xiao, dad can't take care of you siblings anymore. You have grown up, and my sister will have to rely on you in the future...cough cough cough."

The boy was very anxious. He gently put the baby down and wanted to feed his father the water on the side.
