Chapter 571: The beginning is a desperate situation (200
The Chinese cinema in Shanghai was fully booked, and the cinemas in other places were well attended.
In addition to the premieres of several summer blockbusters, the largest number of people came to watch the movie tonight.
Basically, the attendance of each hall in many theaters exceeds 80%, which is already very impressive!
The attendance rate of the Hua Cinema Line is full. There are no empty seats in every hall. Even the seats in the first row are still full!
Because after the premiere date of "Buried Alive" is announced, Chen Mubai and the others will attend the premiere ceremony of the Chinese Cinema Line in Shanghai. In order to catch a glimpse of Chen Mubai, everyone will be the first to grab tickets for the Chinese Cinema Line.
Tickets here sold out instantly.
First-tier cities like Shanghai are very prosperous, and everyone enjoys richer lives. Movie premieres in the early morning are also one of the areas that contribute the most to the box office.
In addition to the magic city, a third-tier small city.
The economy here is average and the people's living standards are not as good as those in big cities. People spend less time on entertainment.
"Daughter-in-law, have you packed up?" a boy asked hurriedly.
"It'll be ready soon!"
The man said helplessly: "Hurry up, you've been here for half an hour..."
"I said it would be done soon, so why bother?" the woman shouted angrily.
"Hurry up, we're late and there's no good seats..." The man didn't dare to get angry at the woman, so he could only say aggrievedly.
"Okay, let's go." The woman said, "There won't be that many people. There are still very few people watching movies in the middle of the night!"
When I go out to watch a movie, it's a midnight show, and the girls have to put on makeup...
I went to bed after watching the movie. There was no point in applying this makeup!
The boy felt helpless and did not understand what the girl was doing.
For girls, they should look beautiful at any time!
The two of them arrived at the theater and started to buy tickets at the front desk.
In third-tier small cities, people rarely buy pre-sale tickets online. Basically, they buy them whenever they want to watch a movie.
Although it is very convenient to buy tickets online, they have membership cards and the discounts are a little cheaper than online. So they did not buy tickets online but came to buy them on site.
"So many people!?" The girl was shocked when she came to the cinema hall.
Usually there are not many people in the cinema, but there are more people during holidays. It is also the best time to watch movies. There are really few people in the midnight movie.
Except for some ghost movie lovers who choose midnight screenings, few others choose this time.
The movie premieres are always at 12 midnight. The two of them have also seen several previous summer blockbusters, but there were not so many people!
So girls don't take it seriously when being pushed by boys. She doesn't think there will be many people watching the midnight show.
As a result, when I came here, I was really surprised by the number of people in the venue.
"I told you to hurry up, but you didn't listen!" The boy was a little anxious.
Now he is not worried about not being able to buy a good seat, but he is worried about not being able to buy tickets!
"Quickly go and line up!" the girl said hurriedly, not caring about the boy's attitude.
Indeed, this time it was her problem, she thought there wouldn't be too many people...
"I want two movie tickets for Buried Alive!"
Finally a boy came to the queue, he said hurriedly.
"Okay, is it acceptable to have two tickets for "Buried Alive" in the first row?" the conductor said with a smile.
"Ah, are there no other seats?" the boy said disappointedly.
"Only alone, not together."
When the conductor saw a girl next to the boy, he knew that they were a couple and they must be together when buying tickets.
"Then let's go to the first row." The boy said helplessly.
It's better to watch something than to watch it at all.
He also looked at the remaining seats. They were basically all in the corners, and all the seats in the center had been taken.
Choosing those corner seats is no different from the first row. At least you can sit with your girlfriend in the first row.
If you choose to watch it separately, I'm afraid your girlfriend will also make a noise.
After buying the tickets, the two of them found a seat like everyone else, sat together and waited for the movie ticket check.
"I'm sorry..." the girl suddenly said, and then she whispered: "I didn't expect there would be so many people."
"It's okay, just buy the tickets." The boy comforted his girlfriend: "This movie is so popular and it won an international award. Everyone is very curious, so there are so many people at the premiere."
The boy is a fan of Chen Mubai and has always paid close attention to the trends of "Buried Alive".
"Next time, I will be earlier and not so slow." The girl whispered.
"Well, I'm going to buy popcorn. You wait for me here." The boy got up and walked to the counter to buy popcorn and drinks.
Popcorn is a standard part of watching movies, and everyone likes to eat and drink while watching.
...
At the same time, Chen Mubai's loyal supporters Zhao Xiaoxiao and her roommates also came to the cinema to support Chen Mubai's first film.
"This movie is absolutely beautiful!" Zhao Xiaoxiao vowed to her roommate.
"It's a must!" The roommate had no doubt: "Chen Mubai is the best!"
"yes!"
"Hehe~"
The two started to giggle. They were both fans of Chen Mubai, so they naturally supported him.
The summer vacation is not over yet, and they have not started school, but she came to school early and made an appointment with her roommates to play together for a few days.
It happened that Chen Mubai's movie was released, so they met to watch it together.
They bought their tickets online in advance, so the seats were pretty good, and they were also waiting for the movie to start.
"get off work!"
"Have something to eat and get ready to watch a movie."
Programmer Sun Dong worked another extra shift, and it was already 10 o'clock when he got off work.
He dragged his tired body to a nearby square, ate something casually, and bought a movie ticket to support Chen Mubai's movie.
He was very tired, but he still wanted to support "Buried Alive".
He himself was not a fan of Chen Mubai, but his impression of him gradually changed due to his talent, so Sun Dong maintained a relatively appreciative attitude towards Chen Mubai.
He also requested to work overtime today so that he could watch the premiere of "Buried Alive" after get off work.
Sun Dong himself felt that since he had watched so many TV series by Chen Mubai, which brought him a lot of happiness, he should give him a movie ticket, and then he came.
Although I am physically tired, I am still mentally refreshed and ready to enjoy this award-winning movie!
Many people who came to watch the premiere had various reasons, but they all wanted to support Chen Mubai.
Most of the fans who can show up at the premiere are fans, and there are very few wild fans.
Based on this, many people started chatting in the hall. Although they didn’t know each other, everyone liked Chen Mubai, so they were friends!
Judging from the movie attendance at the premiere of "Buried Alive", Chen Mubai still has quite a lot of real fans, and everyone is willing to support him.
"Tickets checked!"
"Come in, the movie is about to start!"
"Quick, quick, get in line!"
When the time came to 11:40, major theaters had already started checking tickets in advance.
...
Moduhua Cinema Line.
Chen Mubai and others sat in the audience to watch the premiere of "Buried Alive" with the fans.
All the lights in the theater were turned off, and the venue was dark for an instant. It was hard to see even one's fingers. Only the big screen in front had light, and the movie was officially playing.
"here we go."
"I haven't seen the finished film yet!" Hu Kai said in a low voice.
Qian Duoduo also nodded and said: "I haven't seen it either, although this movie was produced by our company..."
Tao Yaoyao smiled: "I saw the unedited version before the film was completed. I thought it was very good at that time. I won the award, which shows that I have a good vision~"
"Yes, yes, you must have good taste!" Qian Duoduo praised.
Hu Kai smiled helplessly: "Watching a movie, do you want to see you show off your affection?"
Tao Yaoyao felt embarrassed and changed the subject: "Watching a movie. Since you haven't seen it yet, let's enjoy it this time."
Lin Xue smiled sweetly and said: "Sister Yaoyao is right, I also believe in Brother Bai's ability. I have been very curious about this movie since it was promoted, and now I can finally watch it~"
Lin Xue is also here tonight. She and Qian Duoduo are seated next to each other, and next to them is Tao Yaoyao.
"Buried Alive" gave some information about the movie at the press conference. Most young people are very interested in this information. Lin Xue is not an exception because she is not very old.
Being young means that you have a strong ability to accept things and like to watch different things. The existence of "Buried Alive" is like an alternative existence. Many young people were very curious at the time, and they were also the main group of people who supported Chen Mubai.
Most of the people who came to watch the premiere tonight are of this age group.
Suspense and thriller movies are relatively exciting and fit the psychology of most young people.
When the movie started playing on the big screen, the first thing that appeared was the dragon logo, which meant that the movie had passed the review.
Then what appears is the name and logo of the production company.
Generally, the names of many companies appear in movies, either as co-producers or investors.
"Buried Alive" is very simple. There is only one company, Mubai Entertainment, so there is a logo.
The logo of Mubai Entertainment is a small white tree, which slowly grows into a towering tree after being moistened by rainwater, and then the four characters Mubai Entertainment appear on the branches.
The meaning is obvious, trees are trees, and then they turn into big trees, full of greenery, a symbol of hope and beauty.
That is to say, Mubai Entertainment will start small and grow slowly, and eventually it will become a big company and produce more excellent works.
...
The content of the movie is actually very simple. It is the hero's self-rescue process, in which the government and the kidnappers were involved, and a series of things happened.
Chen Feng, played by Chen Mubai, was originally a driver for a company in China, responsible for transporting materials for the company to the country for infrastructure construction. The only difference is that he is abroad, and he is from a country that does not have a particularly good relationship with China.
Then he was knocked unconscious and kidnapped by the kidnappers. When he woke up, he found that he was put in a coffin and buried 6 feet underground. He had no idea why he was here, including whose arrangement it was.
But he knew one thing, he was getting closer and closer to death.
Originally, Chen Feng was just an ordinary truck driver, the most common kind of family man. But now he suddenly fell into a situation that even he didn't understand clearly. In order to survive, he had to do things that were like falling into hell.
A desperate struggle.
Buried with Chen Feng, only his mobile phone and a lighter became his only tool to contact the outside world. Then he slowly pieced together the clues he knew, which could at least help him in this situation.
Know where you are in a maddeningly small space.
The phone only has a measly weak signal and is running out of battery.
Soon, the thin oxygen supply became the most terrifying enemy that Chen Mubai had to face, forcing him to race against time in such a closed space for every chance to see the light of day again - he had to overcome panic,
Due to the negative effects of despair and mental madness, Chen Feng only had 90 minutes left before he was buried alive and then suffocated to death.
"Cough cough cough..."
It started with a long and deep cough, and then the screen remained dark, making everyone's hearts hang unconsciously.
Soon, the lighter lit up the fire, and everyone saw Chen Mubai's condition and environment.
He was in a coffin, the space was limited, and he was lying inside.
Half of his face was covered with blood, and the blood stains had not dried up, indicating that he had not been unconscious for long, otherwise the blood would have dried up instead of still being wet.
His head was injured and his whole body was covered in dust. He must have been seriously injured.
What's more serious is that his hands and feet were tied and his mouth was blocked. Chen Feng whined and struggled. He was still a little confused. Why did he wake up like this.
But there was no time for him to think, so he slowly broke free and began to look for hope of escape.
