349 The General Administration of Culture also saw 'Alive'
Time passed quickly, and there was a lot of discussion about the movies during the National Day prime time. The two most popular movies were "The Immortal" and "Alive", and everyone was discussing them constantly.
"Seeing that the release time is approaching day by day, I have really started to get nervous. I know that I have to grab the tickets for this movie. Tickets will go on sale in a few days, but I still haven't decided whether to watch "
"Alive" or "The Immortal"..."
"Children only make choices, of course adults want them all. Whether it's "The Immortal" or "Alive", I grabbed the tickets for both movies at the same time. It's nothing more than watching one first and then watching the other."
"I have already made up my mind to watch "Alive" from the very beginning when the movie was promoted. There is no need to worry about it at all. I will just focus on grabbing tickets now!"
"Isn't it just for the atmosphere when watching movies in a cinema? Then I would definitely choose the exciting "The Immortal". The special effects scenes in it were once comparable to foreign technology. If you don't go to see it, you won't be able to live up to the good special effects!"
"..."
As the time approaches day by day, everyone's discussions on the Internet are becoming more and more heated, with no intention of stopping.
Soon, it will be National Day on October 1st, which is also the day when the movies "Alive" and "The Immortal" are released...
In a cinema in Beijing, people waiting in line to buy tickets had already lined up in two long lines since early in the morning.
However, more people watched "The Immortal", and quite a few watched "Alive". Most of them were middle-aged men and women. They came to watch "Alive" specifically to reminisce about the past.
Chang Xiaobo has always been worried about the situation in movie theaters, and even sent a few people to major movie theaters in Beijing to gather information.
Since early in the morning, Chang Xiaobo has been wandering around the office, almost restless, rubbing his palms constantly, and he can't even read the documents.
If it were just a simple movie release, it would definitely not be enough to make Chang Xiaobo so nervous, but when he thought that this movie was going to compete with Yang Bei, Chang Xiaobo became a little anxious, and he wanted to see the results immediately.
The assistant also sensed Chang Xiaobo's abnormality and guessed that he was probably distressed by the movie's release today, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Mr. Chang, if you are really worried, I can take a few people to go to major theaters for on-the-spot inspections to see what's going on."
After hearing the assistant's words, Chang Xiaobo's eyes lit up instantly.
"This is indeed a good idea. Then take a few people to have a look, and then tell me the statistics!"
The assistant nodded and exited the office.
After the assistant left the office, Chang Xiaobo sneered.
"I want to see what tricks you can come up with this time!"
…
After on-site inspections by assistants and Zhengguang Entertainment staff, they found that the number of people watching "The Immortal" and "Alive" in major theaters were almost equal.
But if you have to make a detailed calculation, "The Immortal" is still slightly better. After all, young people don't have much interest in period movies like "Alive", and the audiences who watch "Alive" are also a little older.
Big people.
It is precisely because of this benefit that "Shangxian" is slightly better than "Alive".
After the assistant reported the news to Chang Xiaobo, Chang Xiaobo was so happy.
Chang Xiaobo was even more excited when he learned that "The Immortal" still has the upper hand in major theaters.
Although I had imagined before that "The Immortal" would definitely beat "Alive", when the imagination became reality, Chang Xiaobo was still extremely happy.
…
At this moment, in movie theaters everywhere, the first screening of "Alive" has also ended, and the first batch of viewers who watched "Alive" have also walked out of the screening room.
Although everyone's eyes were a little red, no one who walked out of the screening room was praising the wonderfulness of "Alive".
Some audience members who were still waiting in line for the second show saw someone walking out of the screening room, and a few bold ones approached them and asked.
"How's it going? Do you think it's worth watching?"
"Young man, let me tell you this. This movie has gone to the extreme in restoring the original time. It even takes us back to that era... Go and watch it. Young people should watch it more.
Watch a movie like this.”
Several other people also started to play "Alive" with the audience who were queuing up to buy tickets. As long as they watched it, no one would not praise it.
"Alive" seems to tell a tragedy about longevity, but in fact the central idea is to highlight the contradictory and coexisting relationship between "fate" and "individual" through Fugui's life of wandering.
It is precisely for this reason that it can move everyone.
After what the audience said, many people who were waiting in line to buy "The Immortal" began to change their minds and expressed their intention to buy tickets for "Alive" and wanted to find out.
What's even more interesting is that this kind of scene didn't just happen in one movie theater. Similar situations happened in movie theaters across the country, and tickets for "Alive" suddenly began to sell out.
…
In addition to the audience paying attention to "Alive", the General Administration of Culture has also begun to pay attention to "Alive" since the release of "Alive".
After all, "Alive" is the first film to be released among all the films that participated in the film solicitation, and it is also a film written by Yang Bei, a new director in the film and television industry. Naturally, the General Administration of Culture will pay more attention to it.
"Alive" is another black humor film, and it is also a film that spans a long period of time. Some viewers even gave it a very high evaluation that it is Yang Bei's best masterpiece.
Through a person's life experience, this film covers the pain of life that cannot be controlled by people's destiny in history, and derives a wry smile on death.
After people from the General Administration of Culture watched the movie, they were all moved by the story, and almost everyone shed tears.
In Fugui's life, from the initial revelry to the fear of five bullets, to the grief and indignation when his son died young, to the helpless acceptance of his daughter's unexpected death, to the bitterness and joy of eating at the end of the film, his personal destiny drifted with the tide, and he was
Historical pull.
It is precisely because of the excellence of "Alive" that even the General Administration of Culture, which has always been very strict with movies, gave high praise to "Alive".
The praise from the General Administration of Culture has made more and more people flock to the cinema, wanting to see for themselves how good the movies certified by the General Administration of Culture are...
At the same time, it is not only the box office of "Alive" that is increasing, but "The Immortal" is also getting rave reviews and the box office is also increasing. Both movies seem to be working hard to move forward, as if they are trying to compete.
