Chapter 534 Irregular driving, Li Yi is very principled!
But this time it's different!
Every year, the Lunar New Year period is a battleground for military strategists. There are many movies rushing to be released. Everyone competes based on their ability, and they don't care if there is another opponent with great box office appeal like Li Yi!
What's more, this time, Li Yi's new movie is a domestic science fiction film!
Although after the release of Li Yi's trailer, many people had a great change in its quality, from doubts to expectations!
But even so, these movies released in the same period are not afraid at all!
Just look at the audiences who come to the cinema now and wait for the movie to start. Basically, they come together as a family!
Chinese people want to be happy and auspicious during the Chinese New Year, so they are naturally more inclined to choose family-friendly movies. Because of this, most of the movies released during the Lunar New Year every year are family-friendly comedies. This year is no exception, including Chen Long
Big Brother's "Kung Fu Yoga".
So Li Yi's "The Wandering Earth" seems a bit embarrassing!
First, the subject matter of domestic science fiction is still a bit daunting. Although all signs indicate that this will not be a bad movie, there is always a chance!
Secondly, as can be seen from the trailer of "The Wandering Earth", this is a literary drama film, and it is very sensational and tear-jerking! No one wants to watch this kind of movie on the first day of the new year and feel troubled.
Aren’t we supposed to be happy during the Chinese New Year? Crying has a bad connotation!
Therefore, although Li Yi's "The Wandering Earth" is the most anticipated by the audience and the most popular online, the pre-sale results are not ideal.
It is far less popular than before with tens of thousands of people rushing to grab it!
The movie that currently sells the most pre-sale tickets is Brother Chen Long's "Kung Fu Yoga". After all, he has great box office appeal in China.
No worse than Li Yi!
And Li Yi's "The Wandering Earth" didn't even make it into the top five, and the top ones were all family comedies like Kung Fu Yoga!
Precisely because the pre-sales were not ideal, the filming rate of "The Wandering Earth" this time is not high, it is considered average and complete.
Nothing compares to the last movie "Parasite"!
After Cheng Yajie watched Li Yi's program at home with her parents, she immediately rushed to a nearby cinema to watch Li Yi's Spring Festival Gala program. Of course, they would not miss Li Yi's new movie!
By the time Cheng Yajie and her family arrived at the cinema, tickets for multiple movies premiering at the same time were already being checked in.
Cheng Yajie and her parents were lining up when a quarrel came from behind:
"I want to see Li Yi's "The Wandering Earth!"
"Dad, Mom, I don't want to see any practice in yoga."
"What's wrong with celebrating the Chinese New Year? Watch a disaster movie! No!"
"Your dad is right! Besides, you have to watch foreign science fiction movies. The special effects made by other people are really good. Domestic special effects movies are very bad. Why spend that unjust money and our family's money will be lost?"
It wasn’t brought by the strong wind!”
"But……"
"Nothing! If you don't want to watch a movie, I'll send you back to bed now, and your mother and I will watch it ourselves! Anyway, we won't take you to see "The Wandering Earth!"
Cheng Yajie looked back and saw that it was a boy who looked like a high school student, arguing with his parents at the ticket window over which movie ticket to buy.
In the end, his arms were no longer as strong as his thighs, and the boy had no choice but to accept his fate and watch his father buy three movie tickets for a yoga session!
"That's right. During the Chinese New Year, it would be great to watch some disaster movie or some comedy!"
"That's right, my family insists on watching "The Wandering Earth", and I don't agree with it! She even got angry, saying that she won't follow her if she doesn't watch "The Wandering Earth". Hey! You are such a big person and you still have a small temper.
, I am not used to it, I just locked her in the house, and I and her father came out!"
"Hahahaha! Children, if they are ignorant, they must be treated!"
""
In the team, many middle-aged parents who looked like parents expressed their understanding and support for the boy's parents' actions after hearing the quarrel just now. Naturally, the movie tickets they bought were not for "The Wandering Earth!"
Soon, Cheng Yajie took her parents through the ticket gate, picked up the 3D glasses, and walked to the screening room. Along the way, she observed that the number of viewers going to the screening room of "The Wandering Earth" was obviously much smaller than in other screening rooms.
!
When she entered the screening room, her mood instantly became worse!
The huge theater was not even full, not even one-third full!
After she and her parents took their seats, although other spectators continued to enter the venue, in the end the attendance rate was still less than half, and they were all young people.
Compared with Li Yi's previous movies, which had full premieres and audiences of all ages, the gap was so obvious that Cheng Yajie couldn't help but feel a sense of gap and worry in her heart!
"I've really been looking forward to this movie from Brother Yi for a long time!"
"Me too! After watching the trailer, I'm even more looking forward to it!"
"Judging from the trailer, the special effects of Yi Ge's new movie are quite good, giving people a very shocking feeling!"
“I feel that the highlight of this movie, in addition to the special effects, is the relationship between the father played by Brother Yi and his son!
This is the first time I see Brother Yi playing a role like a father!"
"Although "The Wandering Earth" seems to be a sadistic movie at first glance, it is really not suitable to watch it during the Chinese New Year."
"But who said this is Brother Yi's movie? You must come to the cinema immediately to support it!"
"Hahahaha! I am also an art fan, and I think the same as you!"
""
The movie hadn't started yet, and everyone was chatting. Cheng Yajie quickly figured out that those who came to watch "The Wandering Earth" were almost all fans and moviegoers of Li Yi!
In fact, no one who is not a big fan will watch such a movie on the first day of the new year!
This makes Cheng Yajie even more worried, because this phenomenon is not a good sign for a movie!
Because once the word-of-mouth fails to explode in the first place, fans have already supported it, and it cannot attract new audiences in the future. For a movie, it can really wait to death!
Amid Cheng Yajie's worried expression, the screening of "The Wandering Earth" began, and all the audience's attention was focused on the picture list on the screen!
At the beginning of the movie, there is a scene where Liu Peiqiang, played by Li Yi, takes his son Xiao Liu Qi and says goodbye to Ng Meng-tat on the beach.
In just one or two minutes, the relationship between the three people, as well as the tone and suspense of the entire story were laid down.
Li Yi and Wu Mengda's performances were very natural and immediately brought the audience into the play.
Especially Li Yi, his image in the movie is different from ever before. He plays the role of father very well simply with his eyes, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are extremely real.
It is so confusing that one really thinks of Li Yi as a middle-aged father with a child!
"Brother Yi acted so well, there was no sense of disobedience!"
"Indeed! It's so similar, it's just like the way my dad looks at me! That kind of love, that feeling of fatherly love, you can feel it just by looking at me without using any words!"
"If Brother Yi hadn't been married yet and had no children, I would have doubted that the child in the movie was really Brother Yi's son. It's so real!"
"Brother Yi is a god-like actor. He has won several Best Actor Awards. Of course he is good at whatever he plays!"
"The opening clip looks pretty good, but it doesn't have any special effects. I don't know what the subsequent special effects are like. Is it really as good as the trailer? If so, Yi Ge's movie will definitely be another one.
It’s going to be popular!”
""
Amidst the low-pitched discussions of the audience, the short segment of speaking ended with Li Yi's back looking worried and helpless.
As soon as the screen went dark, with the voice-over, the scene began to switch frequently to clearly show the background of the story:
"Initially, no one cared about this disaster. It was just a fire, a drought, the extinction of a species, and the disappearance of a city. Until this disaster was closely related to everyone."
"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..."
""
"So far, human beings, this small group born in the solar system, have embarked on a wandering journey of two thousand and five hundred years!"
Accompanied by a burst of soft but extremely tragic background music, Li Yi entered the hibernation chamber, and the replay of bidding farewell to Xiao Liu Qi, and finally after the scene of the earth flying appeared, the four characters "The Wandering Earth" finally slowly emerged.
on the big screen.
At this point, the beginning before the movie officially starts is truly finished.
"This is a great beginning. I was already looking forward to it, but now even if someone uses a stick to chase me away,
I have to finish it before I can go out!”
"The special effects are really great, especially when they are overlaid and mixed with real scenes, there is really no sense of dissonance at all!"
"This opening is so grand! It really has an epic feel!"
"The appearance is very good, and every detail is spot on. It has a direct look like an international blockbuster!"
"I really want to know what will happen next for Li Yi and his son!"
""
The opening series of special effects paintings surprised and shocked the audience!
Not only the effects presented by the special effects themselves are important, but more importantly, the special effects serve the story, and the special effects shown just now are very appropriate and do not overwhelm the show at all. They will only make people more involved in the story.
So the movie has just begun, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg, which is enough to make the audience excited!
Seeing that the audience's response had been very good so far, Cheng Yajie finally let go of her worries and focused entirely on the movie.
The screen went black again, and according to the subtitles, the time span came directly to seventeen years later.
"Welcome to the morning news. Today's main content is that on the occasion of the New Year, the first batch of residents of the Navigator Space Station are about to return, successfully completing their fifteen to twenty-year station work. Residents of underground cities around the world are eager to
Looking forward to the return of the departed hero. For this reason..."
In the two cabins, news was being played on the TV, and a photo of Li Yi as one of the astronauts on this trip also appeared on the TV.
But soon, it was shut down by a young boy.
"Grandpa, I decided to leave, Wu Nian. Liu Qi."
According to the content of the note left by the boy, the audience knew that the boy was the grown-up Liu Qi, Li Yi’s son in the movie!
Liu Qi grew up, and his father Li Yi was about to return. However, because of his long-term resentment towards his father, he chose to leave the underground city where he had been living.
When Liu Qi and his sister Han Duoduo were walking through the underground city, it was the Spring Festival, and the familiar Spring Festival Gala music was playing on the radio, which instantly made the audience smile.
Liu Qi and Han Duoduo, despite going through a lot of twists and turns, finally came to the surface from the dungeon deep underground wearing two sets of protective clothing stolen from others and with forged documents!
When they took the elevator, the capital city on the surface slowly appeared in front of the audience. It looked like it was snowing and the environment was extremely harsh!
When the elevator door opened and the audience's sight began to widen, almost all the audience subconsciously exclaimed, hugged their bodies tightly, and leaned back!
The special effects are very realistic, and because of wearing 3D glasses, the randomly flying snowflakes and the cold wind in the movie are all coming to you, giving everyone an immersive feeling!
Even though the heating in the screening room was fully turned on, many viewers still subconsciously hugged their bodies and felt a lot of chill!
Soon, Liu Qi took Han Duoduo and used the truck card stolen from his grandfather Wu Mengda to start the No. 373 transport truck. At the same time, a prompt sounded from the car:
"Han Zi'ang, senior driver. The Traffic Committee of the Third District of Beijing reminds you that there are tens of millions of roads, and safety is the first priority. Driving is not standardized, and your loved ones will burst into tears!"
Hearing this rather unconventional yet distinctively Chinese prompt, the audience couldn't help laughing and joked:
"As expected of Kyoto, it is the norm!"
"This is actually quite normal. Whenever you drive now, there are similar slogans in various places to remind you, but when you hear it suddenly in this background environment, why is it so funny!"
"I heard that when Brother Yi was filming a movie, he accepted a public service announcement without asking for anything in return. This should be it!
"It's so funny! Brother Yi accepted this commercial, it's so awesome!"
“Brother Yi is so talented!”
""
Liu Qi drove the transport truck and soon showed the audience perfectly what it means to drive irregularly on the road. He stumbled on the road and drove in a hurry, which made the audience laugh so hard.
The two characters Liu Qi and Han Duoduo naturally left a deep impression on the audience and gave them a better understanding of their characters.
Not long after, the camera cut to the international airport and came to Li Yi's side.
Seeing Li Yi appear again, the audience cheered up even more
At the Navigator Space Station, Li Yi got up from his berth. His old partner Lao Ma next to him greeted him and handed him a bottle of liquor to see him off, but Li Yi refused.
It can be seen that Li Yi is a very principled person.
