Hearing the large number of viewers clamoring for a replay of "Shark Beach", Lu Chuan, who was sitting in the front, changed his expression.
The next show was his own "Kekexili". He originally thought that this brainless popcorn movie could help him attract more viewers, but now he became a little worried.
But then I thought about it, at the film festival, only a few popular films would be screened repeatedly in one day, and most films would only be screened once a day.
However, Lu Chuan was calmly waiting for the release of his movie, waiting for the suffocatingly real scenes in the movie and the infinitely magnified natural laws of survival and death to make these European people who are accustomed to watching literary and artistic films feel...
To the power that shakes the soul.
At this moment, a word he never thought of came to his ears.
"Please wait a moment and play "Shark Beach" again in 15 minutes!"
Faced with the collective demands of the audience, the administrators of the film festival sub-venues still complied with public opinion and decided to screen an additional episode of "Shark Beach".
The several consecutive days of screening time before the awards ceremony are meant to allow the audience to see the shortlisted films, and films with good response will naturally be screened more times.
After getting the answer they wanted, the audience cheered and sat down again.
Whether it was the audience who had watched it all over again or those who joined in the middle, no one left, or even went out for some air. They were all nervously waiting for the movie to start, talking in low voices from time to time, and exchanging their opinions.
.
But one person was unhappy. Seeing that his time was occupied by such a mindless movie, Lu Chuan suddenly stood up and stopped the administrator who was walking backstage.
"Why should we show this movie repeatedly? What about the next movie?"
"Of course the screening is postponed!" the administrator said matter-of-factly.
"When exactly is that?" Lu Chuan asked.
"It depends. Maybe one of the movies is so bad that the audience unanimously asks for another one!"
"How can you do this? According to the movie viewing guide, "Kekexili" should be shown at this time!" Lu Chuan opened the small book and pointed at the arrangement above and shouted.
"But now the audience wants to see this movie, and no one wants to see "Kekexili"!"
Lu Chuan seemed to be greatly insulted. He waved his arms and shouted, "Who said no!"
"OK!" The administrator shook his head helplessly, turned to the audience and asked for confirmation, "Does anyone want to watch "Kekexili"?"
Not surprisingly, he was answered with waves of boos.
And, NO!
"SO, as you have seen, sir, everyone wants to watch "Shark Beach" and no one wants to watch that "Kekexili" movie!"
The boos from the audience went straight to Lu Chuan's heart. The audience didn't even want to watch a movie that he regarded as a classic.
Just for such a bad movie that shows off its figure, makes false claims, and has no logic!
Lu Chuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but hundreds of pairs of hostile eyes made him feel on pins and needles, so he sat down angrily.
The movie was shown again and ended again amidst the exclamations.
By the time the movie ended, the 300-person screening hall was basically full, with an occupancy rate of 90%.
Moreover, not all the viewers who watched two consecutive shows left, at least half of them stayed.
Some of the spectators who came in later could not find their seats and could only urge the spectators inside to leave quickly.
"Hey, after you finish watching, go out quickly, we haven't watched it yet!"
"Oh my god, I only watched the last ten minutes or so. It was so shocking!"
"What a brave oriental girl, I think I'm in love with her!"
"Hey Jenny, come to Branch Room 3, there is a wonderful movie here!"
"Jack, come here quickly. I'm at venue three... I don't have time to explain. I promise you won't regret it!"
"Steven, don't watch those boring art movies. There are exciting movies here that you have never seen before. The heroine has a great figure!"
Lu Chuan watched all this with cold eyes, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would wait to show it a third time, and his "Kekexili" would have a chance to be screened who knows when.
He turned around and looked behind him, and found that Jiang Wen and Tang An had already gone out, and several movie fans were vying for the vacant seats.
"Hello, sir!"
At this time, a sweet female voice interrupted Lu Chuan's thoughts. He turned his head and saw a young and beautiful white girl about 20 years old next to him greeting him.
Lu Chuan immediately put on a smile that he thought was very chic, "Hello, beautiful girl, is there anything I can do for you?"
"That's right sir, I just heard you say you wanted to watch another movie..."
The ordinary girl flipped through the movie guide again and immediately continued, "You want to watch "Kekexili", right?"
Have you finally found a friend? You can discover this classic and shocking movie from the short introduction!
Lu Chuan perked up and said immediately, "Yes, do you like this movie too?"
The girl looked a little embarrassed and hesitated not knowing what to say.
"Actually, I want to ask, if you don't want to watch "Shark Beach", can you give me the seat? My boyfriend hasn't come over yet, but there is no seat left!"
I......
Lu Chuan was dumbfounded. He had agreed to be a close friend. He didn't like him, but his position.
Faced with the little girl's eager request, Lu Chuan didn't know whether he should refuse or give up his position.
However, thinking about having to hear the praises of the audience later, he felt a little annoyed, so he simply stood up and gave up his seat to the girl.
"Then let me give it to you. I wish you a pleasant journey!"
The unhappy Lu Chuan left a few words and walked to the aisle, preparing to leave the screening room.
"David, why did you come so late? There is almost no room left. This was given to me by a kind uncle just now!"
This is a girl blaming her boyfriend for being late.
Lu Chuan choked at his feet and strode out immediately.
In the back row of the screening room, Li Zhiye was writing furiously.
It was screened twice in a row, on the first day of the festival, without word-of-mouth fermentation. If similar situations do not occur in other sub-venues, then this year's Audience Choice Award will most likely belong to "Shark Beach".
After all, the Audience Choice Awards are really chosen by audience votes!
The 23-year-old director has been nominated for an international Category A film festival and even has a high probability of winning an award. This is definitely big news for the domestic film market.
He seems to have foreseen that there will be a rising star in the director field.
Li Zhiye must prepare press releases and film reviews now, and wait until the awards are over to send them back to China immediately to seize first-hand news.
ps: Please collect and recommend votes!!!
In addition, regarding the name, we are starting to change it now, changing it to a homophonic word, which will probably take some time.
