"I grew up watching Hong Kong movies. Although I am not from Hong Kong, I will not feel unfamiliar if I want to watch the Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong series of movies! I am also looking forward to it!"
"Being able to make so many people cry shows that a dog director is still a dog director!"
"Emotional resonance, regardless of region, right? It's too early, right? We still have to wait two months, or even longer, ah ah ah, it's been a long time since I had a good cry, can't the dog director just release it?"
"Although it is titled "Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong Island", a movie title like "Thieves of Time" sounds very interesting. I will definitely support it when it is released!"
"The dog director has returned to the subject matter he is best at. No matter what type of movie it is, as long as it can make people cry, that's it."
Although Li Yi's movies have always been full of attention and expectations, this is true in Hong Kong and also in the mainland.
However, a literary film from the Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong series has received so much attention that even on the eve of the summer holiday it was still able to occupy a place among many blockbusters that were heavily promoted. People have to sigh, you are still your uncle.
.
However, the established publicity strategy will certainly not change as a result.
After all, it is unrealistic to expect a high box office for a movie like "The Thief of Time."
It has strong regional cultural characteristics, and it is also a story from the past, a story from an era that is unfamiliar to many people in this era.
Yes, maybe older audiences will be more sensitive and can easily resonate with it, but the problem is that in these days, young people will always be the main consumers of movies.
Although many movie fans seem to be looking forward to it now, when the movie is actually released, not many people will go see such a movie.
The market is a big market in the Mainland, but the story is an old story from Hong Kong Island.
On Hong Kong Island, you can count on the box office, but after all, Hong Kong Island has long since declined, and the market is still very limited.
However, although it is said that screenings will not start until the Venice Film Festival starts, publicity is still necessary.
So the first MV trailer for "Thieves of Time" was released as promised.
For many movie fans, it is a good first look. Although the trailer may not show much, it can at least satisfy everyone's curiosity.
So when the MV trailer for the theme song of the same name from "Thieves of Time" was released online, it immediately attracted many fans who were curious about the movie.
Clicking on the trailer, a soft and somewhat sad melody sounded.
The opening subtitles of "The Thief of Time" appear.
"In the changing life, time turns out to be the biggest thief!"
As Li Yi's earliest fans, Lu Xinguang and Chu Xixi will naturally not miss this.
Seeing this line of words, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other. Chu Xixi reached out and shook her husband's hand.
Only by experiencing it can you understand the meaning of this sentence. In other words, different people have completely different understandings of this sentence.
Lu Xinguang's mother passed away due to illness last year. These words suddenly reminded him of his mother's voice and smile. Yes, time is really the biggest thief!
However, what appears on the screen is a somewhat shocking shot.
"If you can hold it tightly, don't let it go..."
A little kid wore a fish tank on his head and held a Brazilian turtle in his hand, with a smile on his face.
"If you can hug, don't pull..."
Luo Jin Er, played by Xu Fei, hugged his younger brother tightly.
"Time rushes away anxiously
What’s left…”
One moment, the sign with the word "Shoes" was lit up, but the next moment, it was floating in the wind and rain, and the surroundings were in a mess.
"Forgive the twists and turns we have gone through
It turns out that everything left behind is true.”
Luo Jinyi, who was running, fell down at the last hurdle. The next scene was that he was thrown high by many people, with his face full of joy after winning.
Failure and success are all traces of time.
"Even though it seems like a dream! I'm half awake!"
The camera turned.
Under the dim yellow light of the setting sun, Luo Jinyi and Fang Fei walked forward with their backs to the camera.
Both Lu Xinguang and Chu Xixi couldn't help but reveal a hint of sweetness.
I can't help but think of the sweetness when they first met.
"You are happy even if you laugh and cry..."
One moment the big-eared cow was cheering for his brother to win the competition, and the next moment he was crying because his brother fell.
This is life!
"Who let... Time is something that catches people off guard. Sometimes it is sunny and windy and sometimes it rains..."
As the typhoon passed by, many things were blown out of the home. In the storm, a home was shattered!
"I can't fight for the day and night, but I still think about the past
I stole Qingsi but kept you.”
In the wind and rain, the Luo family held on to the roof with all their strength: "The most important thing is to keep the roof!"
After the storm, Father Luo, whose temples were already gray, watched his wife and two sons go away.
"Time is a journey with no return
Good and bad are all scenery
Don't blame me for being greedy, I just don't want to wake up
Because you are only willing to be with me
Look at the clouds and the wind..."
Luo Jinyi and Fangfei met for the first time and fell in love ignorantly. They looked so enviable.
It will always remind you of the girl you met in the past years who is unforgettable to you. We used to watch the sun rise and the moon set together, and watch the clouds and the breeze together!
The picture in front, although as the song goes, "the good and the bad are all scenery", it still has a warm tone.
But very soon, things took a turn for the worse.
"Time is something that catches people off guard
Sometimes it’s sunny, it’s windy, sometimes it’s rainy.”
The clock in the classroom kept spinning. The big-eared cow's nose was pressed against the blackboard, but his eyes were looking at the clock on the wall, counting the seconds.
But Luo Jinyi picked up the cup and drank water, but spit out blood!
"Can't compete day and night and still remember the past
I stole Qingsi but kept you.”
In the hospital, Mother Luo, with tears in her eyes, held Father Luo's rough, calloused hand after taking off his ring, leaving deep marks.
The big-eared cow looked at his brother and asked him in annoyance and confusion...
"I've stolen everything for you, what do you want?"
My brother responded with a sigh!
"Time is a journey with no return
The good and the bad are all scenery.”
The big-eared cow wears a glass fish tank and walks on the embankment.
Fang Fei stood on the balcony and watched Luo Jinyi leave with tears in her eyes.
"Don't blame me for being greedy, I just don't want to wake up
Because you are only willing to be with me
Look at the clouds and the wind..."
In the hospital ward, Fang Fei appeared with a picturesque smile, holding yellow roses in her hands. When Luo Jin turned around, his face was full of surprise.
The fragrant baby swallow flew into his arms like a nest.
In the dark, postcard-like picture, a young man and woman share an affectionate but green kiss.
The final scene stayed in the attic, where the younger brother and older brother were doing homework together, the older brother was humming a song, and the younger brother turned his head and looked at his older brother with a wide smile.
