At the Great Hall of the People, the premiere ceremony of "The Truman Show" ended, and the audience also exited in an orderly manner.
I had just experienced a dream-like scene, and the one-hundred-minute movie viewing process was extremely absurd. When I left the show, many viewers were talking excitedly about the movie they had just watched.
"It's like a dream, this movie is so mind-blowing!"
"Yeah, no one would have guessed it before. It's actually like this. The whole city is just a studio!"
"Everyone is acting, hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city are actors, and they are being monitored 24 hours a day, but Truman has not gone crazy!"
"It's so scary. Even my parents and wife are fake. When I saw the back, I wondered if I was also being watched."
"You can do a paternity test with your parents, that'll be fine."
"The people in the paternity testing agency are all actors, what do you do?"
"Go to other cities, go to foreign countries."
"What if the entire earth is being monitored by aliens? To the aliens, we are all actors in the show."
"It's not like I'm not willing, haha."
"Li Qian is so talented. He can come up with such creative ideas. To be honest, I really suspected that I was being watched when I watched the movie."
"Then you are so miserable. Even your work is broadcast live. Next time, remember to be more persistent. Otherwise, you will be despised by the audience who knows where."
"Then the teenage thugs and the movies were also broadcast live..."
...
A wonderful play and a superb movie that the audience will talk about after watching it.
However, some people were not too excited.
Li Tao was one of them. He was having fun watching a comedy, but he didn't expect to see such a movie. After watching it, he felt a little dazed.
However, it’s not that I can’t understand it. In fact, the plot is very simple. Some things that I didn’t understand at the beginning will become clear as the truth is revealed later.
But.
Truman has been watched and grown up under the camera since he was born. He has an arranged wife, arranged parents, and his sweetheart who is unexpectedly not arranged.
Everything is too real, there are dogs, the moon, the sun, the sea, passers-by, friends, and bosses.
As for himself, it seemed that he had been arranged since he was a child. He even had a crush and transferred to another high school.
Life before the age of 18 was all arranged step by step by parents. After graduation, there were also false bosses and colleagues in the job. Only in college was the real happiness.
However, my roommates who I had a good relationship with in college have not had much contact with each other for two years.
Every day on my way to and from get off work, I pass by the same group of passers-by who are always in a hurry and look the same, 365 days a year.
Truman was living in someone else's script, and he wasn't much better.
However, Truman's ability to withstand blows is really strong, and he was still so optimistic in the end, without getting angry or angry. If it were anyone else, he would have collapsed a long time ago.
Speaking of which, my life is much worse than that of Truman, and if I can live like Truman in the capital, my ultimate goal is to live up to Truman's standard of living.
I have an easy job, a big house, and a beautiful wife. I would rather live the Truman life, which is much better than reality.
Two years ago, I stayed in the capital with the idea of getting ahead and leaving my parents. I wanted to do a big career, but in the past two years, I seem to have become accustomed to the life of 996.
Just when Li Tao was a little envious of Truman's kind of life, someone's cell phone seemed to ring in front of him.
The cell phone ringtone is somewhat familiar, it is "Hills".
Fight back without overestimating your own capabilities, and fight back until death.
Li Tao was stunned by the voice of a middle-aged man who was not very nice.
Yes, Truman faced the program team that controlled everything, the program team that was like a god to Xiaocheng, and he still fought back at all costs.
I don't have that big of an obstacle. I can end this life at any time, but I've just started to get used to it and even become numb to it.
Failure in the attempt is nothing more than changing jobs, far from life or death.
...
After the premiere, Li Qian held a dinner in another banquet hall to thank the leaders and colleagues who came to support the show.
However, the leaders left after attending the premiere ceremony, and the banquet was not very formal.
Colleagues in the industry also praised Li Qian after watching a heart-shaking movie.
"Director Li, I really didn't expect that "The Truman Show" would be filmed like this. Although it is not a special effects blockbuster, the shock level is not much worse than "Avatar."" Song Ge sighed with emotion.
""Zodiac" is going to be difficult to handle now. I have invested in this film. I just hope that the box office won't drop too badly in the future."
Song Ge has already reached a cooperation with Cheng Long. "Police Story 2013" was jointly invested by both parties, without Huayang. However, "Twelve Zodiac" was negotiated by Huayang first with Cheng Long, and he only invested in it.
A little bit and then a joint release.
At any rate, I am also involved, but looking at the situation of "The Truman Show", it's hard to say how it will fare at the box office.
With this creative idea and this shocking plot, there is no doubt that it is a masterpiece, and it is also a highly entertaining masterpiece. Even if there are no livelihood issues that concern the whole people, the box office will probably not be worse than "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
"It's been half a month, so the impact shouldn't be too big." Li Qian smiled.
"The Truman Show" was released half a month later than "Zodiac" and half a month earlier than "1942", so it was stuck in the middle. It was what Huayang Media wanted and what Li Qian wanted.
There is only one movie like this. If you want to beat the other two blockbusters, you can only do it at this time.
As for it not having a big impact, it is impossible. It is inevitable that the box office will be cut in half in the future.
That's pretty much it for "Zodiac". "1942" is a frustrating tragedy that won't do much in the Lunar New Year season, let alone its own "The Truman Show."
Even after half a month, as long as the follow-up trend is good, it can still give "1942" a fatal blow!
.......
Just when Li Qian was holding the banquet, an hour had passed since the premiere. The thousands of viewers, film critics, and media who had watched the premiere were already eager to say something. The movie was so shocking.
.
""The Truman Show" is definitely a masterpiece. If "I'm Not the God of Medicine" hadn't promoted medical reform, this would have been Li Qian's best movie, bar none!"
"After watching it, I really doubted my life. Li Qian's movie is so awesome!"
"Li Qian is simply a god. I thought "Life of Pi" was the best movie this year before, but after watching "The Truman Show", I take my words back!"
"Li Qian is so awesome!!! Forgive me for my poor Chinese, I can only say this!"
"It's a comedy. It feels like a tragedy in the middle, a bit like a horror film at the end, and it's an inspirational film at the end. I'm still confused after watching it all over again. I've already bought the tickets and am ready to watch the midnight show!"
“The Truman Show is the best movie of the year and there is no suspense about it!”
"Oh my god, when Truman's boat hit the wall, my heart was broken when I saw Brother Chao's desperate expression. But when he took the curtain call for his acting career, it was so touching. That moment
Brother Chao smiled so brightly that the woman next to me cried and took away my pack of tissues!"
...
There is no long-winded evaluation. For ordinary viewers, words such as good-looking, awesome, and touching are just that simple, enough to express their thoughts on the movie.
Thousands of viewers have left sporadic comments on relevant forums and posts. However, these concise and concise words did not mention any plot content, leaving the waiting fans scratching their heads and looking forward to it more and more.
The long comments from professional audiences and film critics came out a little late. It wasn't until after twelve o'clock that some long reviews started to come out one after another.
"I saw a new film directed by Li Qian again after a year and a half. In fact, I have been a little worried before, because after "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Director Li has reached the peak of his director career. If he is in the same era as Zhang Yimou and Cheng Kaige
If so, he would have become a god a year ago.
People often regress slowly when they reach their limit. This is the case with Zhang Yimou, and the same is true with Brother Cheng Kai. Before today, I couldn't imagine Li Qian making a better movie than "I'm Not the God of Medicine". At that time, I just expected it, don't underestimate it.
I am satisfied enough with the level of his first movie "Frequency of Life and Death".
However, two hours later, Director Li gave me a huge surprise. From the movie itself, "The Truman Show" is definitely Director Li's best movie, and it can also be called a masterpiece.
I have too much to say about this movie, but here, I want to remind everyone that you must be mentally prepared when watching the movie. This movie may make you start to doubt the world.
This is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. The worldview collapses horribly.
The sun and moon change, lightning and thunder, blue sky and white clouds, wind and rain, any colleagues, relatives, friends, parents, wives around you... even the city where you live, the countless stars above your head, the sun and the moon, everything you look at,
all fake.
Everything is fake and is considered to be arranged. Only the protagonist Truman is real. He treats this false world with sincere emotions, but the result is just a show in the eyes of outsiders.
He was imprisoned in a big cage. He hit the so-called "sky" with his body over and over again, but the cage didn't move at all.
That period was so desperate.
The world is still so big, with wind, water and air, but it makes people unable to breathe..."
In a long article, the film critic talked a lot, but it left ordinary viewers who read this article on Douban's homepage baffled.
The sun is fake and the whole world is fake?
And a horror movie?
There are a lot of fans in the underground who are waiting for the reaction of the movie. They are complaining, such as: professional film critics are awesome, and a comedy turned into a horror movie, which is amazing!
A few viewers who watched the premiere left comments below to express their agreement, but after all, there are too few, and those who are supposed to go to work and those who are supposed to go to school have to rest tomorrow.
It was not until two o'clock in the morning that the midnight screening was completed. More than 200,000 viewers watched the midnight screening for the first time, and there were more comments about the movie online.
The previous article on "The Truman Show" was a long film review of a horror film, and there were many comments from the audience at the bottom.
"At this point, when I came out of the cinema, it was dark outside, and it felt even more scary. I can accept that my friends who grew up with me are fake, and I can even accept that my lifelong partner is fake, but I really can't accept that the parents who taught me how to grow up are also fake.
, this is too scary.”
"The most terrifying thing is that when Truman suspected my wife, she still kept advertising to the camera. It was chilling and she had no emotion at all."
"You're so right. After watching the movie, I broke out in cold sweats and got goosebumps. The sun that usually provides warmth and the moon that illuminates the dark night finally turned into a searchlight searching for Truman. Let me tell you, you
The food you eat every day is actually like poison!”
"I've been staring at the moon since I came out of the cinema. The more I look at it, the more I think it's fake!"
"It's so scary, especially since I couldn't help but wonder if I was being watched. It only took a few minutes to walk home, which made me so scared!"
...
Until the morning, everyone got up and took a look at the online reviews. When they saw these, they were all confused.
