Chapter 252 Not watching movies, talking about love
After the two of them had a little fight, they did not miss the premiere at midnight.
At 11:30 in the evening, Li Yi and Cheng Yajie came to the cinema.
I have to say that many viewers came here tonight for the Lunar New Year movie.
There were couples, there were groups of good sisters and brothers hanging out together, and there were also families having a New Year’s Eve dinner, with the whole family including the young and the old.
The entrance to the cinema was very lively.
"Hey, son, why don't we watch "Macau 3"? Dad likes watching Fa Ge's movies very much."
"No, dad, I want to watch "Bear Bears"!"
A middle-aged man couldn't stand the "threat" from his son, and finally chose to buy four tickets for "Bear Bears" for a family of four.
"Honey, I want to watch "The Secret of the Dragon"!" A girl with a pouty mouth leaned against the young man.
The young man pretended to snort coldly: "Don't think I don't know you want to see Cheng Kun!"
"Hehe, my dear, you understand me. He is so handsome! You are the only man who can surpass him in terms of handsomeness."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to say such things against your will. You still know how much I weigh. Why don't I go buy a ticket?"
The girl was very happy and gave her boyfriend a pop on his face: "Thank you, dear."
When Cheng Yajie saw the couple's behavior, she couldn't help but complain: "Nasty!"
"Don't talk about others. If one day you fall in love, it will be terrible if you really like it." Li Yi teased.
Cheng Yajie snorted, "I promise not! I will never cling to my boyfriend!"
Li Yi didn't take her words seriously, and now he is very melancholy.
Damn it, no one in front of the cinema is talking about his movie?
There is no end to the road, and Li Yi heard words that made him happy.
"Da Cong! How about we watch "The Tuner"." A fat man next to Li Yi was talking to other buddies.
One of the buddies said casually: "Okay, I can do anything."
"Come on, "The Tuner" feels a bit boring."
Da Cong hesitated: "Then what are you looking at? Tell me."
"Whatever, it's fine, these are just popcorn movies anyway."
Da Cong: "Fuck, then I'll buy "The Tuner"!"
Cheng Yajie listened to the conversation of those people and wanted to see Li Yi's expression.
It turned out that Li Yi had no black face at all, and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you angry?"
"Ah?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, "Why are you angry?"
"They don't even watch your movies," Cheng Yajie said worriedly.
Li Yi waved his hand: "What's the matter? They will know it in a day or two. Let's go in and watch a movie."
Cheng Yajie followed Li Yi into the cinema with a feeling of apprehension.
At this time, a reporter from an entertainment media had already rushed to the cinema to conduct frontline interviews and reports.
"Hello everyone, I am very happy to bring you this frontline report. Now you can see the picture behind me. This is the most famous cinema in Hangzhou, Wanda Cinema!"
"I just learned from the staff that the current Lunar New Year movies have basically been released and are being broadcast. You can see from the lively flow of people behind me that there is almost an endless stream of people watching the movies now. Everyone is
I came here for the few blockbusters released during the Chinese New Year."
"I have obtained the latest data from an online ticketing platform. According to statistics, there are a total of eight movies released in the first Lunar New Year slot today. Among them, "Macau 3" has a 20.6% ranking, and "The Secret of the Dragon" has a 20.6% ranking.
18.6%
, "Pulling Stars" accounts for 16.5% of the film schedule, and it is worth mentioning that the animated film "Bear Bears" also accounts for 14.5%. Four big-budget movies account for 70% of the film schedule, and the remaining four films add up to 14.5% of the film schedule.
Less than 30%.”
"Of course, the first three films have an absolute advantage in terms of investment, directors, actors, etc., and "Bear Bears" is so popular among children that its film schedule rate is also astonishingly high."
"In addition, I noticed that Mr. Li Yi, who has always been at the forefront of popularity, his "The Tuner" only accounted for less than 7% of the national film schedule. I asked the staff at the cinema, "The Tuner" movie
The ticket pre-sale situation can only be said to be average, and to a large extent, people choose to buy it because of Li Yi's popularity. And movie tickets for popular time periods such as "Macau Storm 3" have almost been pre-sold. Okay, let's do it
Let’s interview the audience who came to watch the movie.”
The reporter found a couple who came to watch a movie and asked, "Whose movie are you coming to watch?"
When the girl saw the camera, she immediately pushed her hair, and then said coquettishly: "We are here to watch "The Secret of the Dragon" and watch Cheng Kun's movie!"
"After watching "The Secret of the Dragon," who else do you want to watch?" the reporter continued to ask.
The boy thought for a while: "Let's watch "The Stars Are Moving". After all, it was filmed by Yang Xiaomi, whom I like."
The girl gave him a hard elbow: "Who do you like?"
"I like you!" The boy has a strong desire to survive in front of the camera.
The girl was very proud: "Hehe, let's go see "The Stars Are Moving" next time!"
When the reporter saw that they both entered the cinema happily, he planned to find another audience member for an interview.
She found her target in a plaid shirt wearing glasses.
"Hello, what movie are you watching?" the reporter asked.
The younger brother smiled shyly and said, "I came to watch "Bear Bears"."
The reporter was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
"My son and wife are downstairs, I'll buy tickets first." The younger brother explained.
The reporter suddenly realized: "Then what kind of movies do you usually like to watch?"
"Me? I prefer suspense themes." The little brother thought for a while and then said.
The reporter immediately said: "There is a suspense film in the Lunar New Year movie called "The Tuner". Haven't you heard about it?"
"Um, it seems to be that Li Yi who took the photo, right?" the little brother asked.
The reporter nodded: "Yes, it was indeed shot by Li Yi. Aren't you interested in this movie?"
"Maybe it wasn't promoted enough. I wasn't that impressed by the movie. Plus my son wanted to see Bears, so I didn't go see other movies."
After hearing this explanation, the reporter turned to the camera and said: "It seems that the promotion of the Lunar New Year movie is very important in some aspects. Maybe the promotion of "The Tuner" is not as strong as other movies due to financial problems.
, then let us wait and see whether the box office of "The Tuner" can catch up from behind, and Xianggua Entertainment will broadcast it for you."
At the same time, Li Yi and Cheng Yajie had already entered the cinema.
Cheng Yajie first found the seats for the two of them and then sat down.
Then she observed her surroundings.
She asked Li Yi: "Why are there so few people?"
"It's okay, there should be about a dozen people." Li Yi said with a smile.
"That's not right. You are now a big star and have certain publicity power. How come so few people see it?" Cheng Yajie didn't quite understand.
Li Yi explained the reason: "Actually, if you think about it, most of my fans will support my movie, but half of them will not choose to watch it on the night of the premiere. After all, it is too tiring."
"Of the half of the people who bought the tickets, maybe a third didn't come, refunded the tickets, or came here to watch other movies, right?"
"Although I have indeed performed well in some movies, this is the first time I have appeared in a Lunar New Year movie, and "The Tuner" has not received enough publicity due to financial issues. This is also one of the main reasons."
After hearing this, Cheng Yajie was puzzled: "Then why is the funding for "The Tuner" so small?"
"Because I invested in this movie!"
Li Yi smiled: "I invested in this movie, so I am an investor. If the investor has no money, where will the crew and theaters get the money to promote it? Right."
Cheng Yajie was a little surprised, "How much did you invest?"
Li Yi held out five numbers: "Five million."
"So many!" Cheng Yajie was very surprised.
Li Yi showed an aggrieved look: "So, I really have nothing to lose now, and I also said that I would give my dividends from Firefly Company to everyone, which makes me really poor now, good sister
, how about you take care of me for a few days?"
Cheng Yajie originally wanted to call him a gangster, but then she simply said: "It's not impossible, let's do this. Give me a massage for an hour tonight, and I'll take care of your breakfast tomorrow."
Li Yi: "I'm afraid that my hands are not honest. What if I accidentally massage and touch places I shouldn't touch?"
"Then chop it." Cheng Yajie said with a smile.
Li Yi looked at her serious look, and shook her head: "It's boring, it's boring, let's watch a show!"
Soon, a dragon walked out of the screen.
The film begins with a hunter discovering that his cabbage garden has been eaten by rabbits. He starts chasing a blind rabbit and intends to shoot it. Later, the rabbit runs to a boundary marker, and then the film begins.
Li Yi knew that the hunter represented some evil people in society. In order to protect his own interests, he shot and killed those who harmed his interests. This represented the villains in the play, the police and Simi.
Rabbits represent some harmless people in this society, but they are not very kind.
Akash, played by Li Yi, is that rabbit, a timid, fearful and pseudo-moral person who fights for his own interests.
Li Yi pretended to be a blind person at first. Although he said verbally that he could focus on music for the sake of art, in his heart he wanted to use the image of a blind person to gain convenience from the social welfare system and his own life.
After watching it for about ten minutes, Cheng Yajie seemed to still not understand the purpose of the movie, so she wanted to ask Li Yi: "What is this movie about?"
"You'll know after reading it, I won't spoil it." Li Yi said with a smile.
But Cheng Yajie's mind was not focused on the movie. She noticed that the couple in the row in front were cuddling together. Their heads were getting closer and closer, as if they were whispering something.
Going to the cinema instead of watching a movie, but instead the two of them are talking about love, this is blasphemy against the movie!
Humph! At least that’s what Cheng Yajie thinks now.
Moreover, the man’s hands were very “dishonest” and were on his girlfriend’s clothes.
But my girlfriend didn't stop me.
On the contrary, her hands are more "dishonest".
This made Cheng Yajie understand the sentence: women are more greedy than men, but they are particularly pretentious and need men to guide them.
Once the atmosphere is enough, the man doesn't need to take the initiative.
Cheng Yajie turned her head to look at Li Yi and found that he was watching the movie seriously.
"I was so fascinated by the movie I acted in." Cheng Yajie was speechless in her heart.
Just as she was distracted, Li Yi patted her arm and reminded: "The climax of the plot is coming."
Cheng Yajie looked up and found that Li Yi was playing the piano selflessly on the screen, and the lingering sound of his beautiful singing voice lingered in the air.
But the next shot made her scalp tingle.
There's blood all over the floor! There's blood all over the floor!
