Chapter 315: Premiere

The first snow of 2014 came later than usual.

On December 24th, it snowed heavily in the sky, and Shanghai, as a southern city, was very sensitive to changes in temperature.

The pedestrians on the road had changed into thick down jackets and hurriedly walked past the corners and alleys.

Shanghai Cinema, located on the quiet Xinhua Road in Changming District, is the first five-star cinema in Shanghai.

At the same time, it is also the main venue of the Shanghai International Film Festival, which often hosts premieres and other events, and many excellent film works can be seen here.

Early in the morning, that is, at 6 o'clock, at least 400 people who were ready to buy tickets gathered outside the Shanghai Cinema.

This snow is already comparable to moderate snow, and as long as you stand outside for ten or twenty minutes, the snow will fall all over your hair and shoulders.

But even so, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for buying tickets.

At half past eight o'clock, the ticket hall of Shanghai Cinema had just opened, and people who wanted to buy tickets frantically poured into the ticket buying hall, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to buy tickets for the movie they wanted to watch if they entered late.

Today is Christmas Eve, and five big movies have been released, which is a big temptation for movie fans.

There are a total of 5 ticket windows in Shanghai Cinema, just like the ticket hall of the station, where security personnel are responsible for maintaining order, and everyone is waiting to buy tickets in an orderly manner.

"I want 10 tickets for the 7 p.m. show of Cinderella!"

"Beauty, "Love Sunday" at half past nine, I want two!"

""Romance at 10 and a half in the morning, give me two ......"

For love movies, most of them are bought by young couples, usually two, but when it comes to "Cinderella", they are often bought with eight out of ten, just like scalpers, for fear that they will not be able to buy it slowly.

The frenzy of ticket sales lasted for half an hour, and when the queue was interrupted, it was the turn of a young man who looked to be thirty-four or five years old.

With an expectant look on his face, he asked the beautiful ticketing lady and said, "Beauty, bring me 4 tickets for the "Cinderella" movie at 4 o'clock in the afternoon."

"Sir, I'm sorry, the tickets for "Cinderella" are sold out today!" The ticket sales lady smiled and said, "If you want to see it, please come back tomorrow to buy it." ”

According to the ticketing method of major theaters, in addition to the tickets that have been pre-sold, only movie tickets for all shows of the day are sold, and if you want to buy tomorrow, you can only wait until tomorrow to queue up and buy it.

"What? sold out, isn't it, I bought a ticket for 4 p.m., and it's gone?" The look of anticipation on the young man's face disappeared immediately, filled with disappointment.

The people who were queuing at the back immediately screamed miserably when they heard the words of the young man and the young lady who sold the ticket.

"Damn, do you want to be so exaggerated?"

"Brothers in the back, the tickets for today's show of "Cinderella" have been sold out!"

"Hurry up, ask other movie theaters if they have tickets......"

There were more than 100 people queuing at the back, and many of them came to line up so early, in fact, they were all to be able to buy tickets for "Cinderella".

This will hear that there are no tickets, and they will definitely be cleaned up by the bear children at home when they go back!

In recent years, the children are all ancestors at home, and they are all spoiled to the sky, and they are usually reluctant to touch it, and they can bear to be cleaned up.

Hearing the words of the young man who had just taken his life, the ticketing lady nodded and replied: "Yes, the last ticket for the 9 o'clock show of "Cinderella" was bought by the lady in front of you. ”

"It's over, it's over, I can't buy a ticket, my daughter can't eat me?"

The young man looked up at the movie information scrolling on the electronic screen and said, "Do you still have a ticket for "A Bear's Tale"? Don't tell me, this one is gone." ”

For young men, whether it is "Cinderella" or "A Bear's Tale", they are both adapted from fairy tales, the difference is only that one is an animated version and the other is a live-action version.

Use this to make up the numbers, it shouldn't be cleaned up badly, right?

"This one is there, what time do you want it?" asked the ticketing lady as she glanced down at her computer.

"What time are they?" asked the young man.

The ticketing lady introduced: "There are four performances of "A Bear's Tale" arranged today, which are 9 o'clock in the morning, 11 o'clock in the morning, 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon!

“......”

The young man was a little speechless, should he be so exaggerated?

The 9 tickets arranged for "Cinderella" in one day were sold out, and "A Bear's Tale" only had 4 shows, so they were all still abundant?

What's going on here?

"It's half past three. The young man thought for a moment and said, "Four tickets!"

"Cinderella" in just half an hour, all the tickets for this day have been sold out.

There are still a lot of tickets for other movies.

And what is more dramatic is that because the tickets for "Cinderella" are sold out, as "The Story of a Bear", which is also adapted from a fairy tale, it has naturally become the first choice for fans who have not bought tickets for "Cinderella".

"The Story of a Bear" became one of the highest-grossing films on the first day of the release of the five films in Shanghai Cinema, following "Cinderella".

The same ticket sales are being staged in major theaters across the country.

Basically, the 9 screenings of "Cinderella" that day were all full.

"A Bear's Story" is worse, followed by "Love Sunday", a Hollywood romance movie, and "Love on the Ocean" and "Romance" have become the bottom existence.

This is also beyond everyone's expectations!

......

Daguang Cinema is located on Jinling Road, which is a time-honored brand in Shanghai and has the largest screening hall in Shanghai.

At 8:50 a.m. on December 24, "Cinderella" had its world premiere.

At the moment, at least half of the children in the movie theater are either with their parents, or brought by their grandfathers and grandmothers, in short...... One by one, the children were excited.

As for those who came alone, most of them were fans of Liu Zixia and Li Mengyi.

Whether you like Liu Zixia's songs, or like the two works of "Yueyue's Good Night Story" and "Journey to the West", or like Li Mengyi's film and television dramas......

These fans are all coming with full expectations.

In Hall 1 of the Daguang Cinema, 1,300 spectators entered the theater in turn, and at this time, the sponsor's advertisement was playing on the movie screen, about 5 minutes long.

As soon as the 5-minute time arrived, it was just 9 o'clock, and the lights in Hall 1 immediately dimmed, and at the same time, the large screen in the front of the screen also lit up.

The screening room, which was originally a little noisy, quickly fell silent when the lights dimmed.

Liu Zixia, Li Mengyi and Yueyue, a family of three, were sitting in the center of the second floor of the No. 1 screening hall at this time, and these two people had already booked tickets for the best location from the theater.

The three of them, anyway, are also the main voice actors of this animated movie, and Liu Zixia is also the original author of the movie, he really wants to see how the audience reacts to this movie.

After all, Liu Zixia was engaged in music in his previous life, and later entered the administration and became an executive of a well-known entertainment company, where is there time to engage in other things.

In this life, whether it is writing, dubbing, actor or director, it is the first time to try, Liu Zixia naturally wants to understand the audience's attitude towards his other careers.

The film soon began, and the first thing that flashed on the screen was the release permit of the General Telecommunications Office.

Then there is the logo of Wenxing Entertainment Media Group, a shining golden star with a sky-blue book mark inside, and below the golden star, there are the words 'Wenxing Entertainment Media Group'!

The company's logo has passed, and the movie has finally officially begun.

The audience watched the big screen with full attention, for fear of missing something!

The music sounded, and it was one of the accompaniments of "Cinderella", which was sung by Li Mengyi.

With the sound of music, a picture similar to the title page of "Cinderella" appeared on the screen, but compared to "Cinderella", this picture in the movie is more refined.

Purple garlands swirl around the screen, and in the center is a pumpkin carriage, pulled by four white horses, with the four artistic words "Cinderella" at the top, glittering.

The beautiful pictures and beautiful music immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The movie continues, the music is gradual, and the animated shots are slowly flashing, and some text introductions appear on the screen:

Original: Liu Zixia

Director: Xu Cheng

Assistant directors: Liu Zixia, Han Yi

Voice actors: Li Mengyi with Cinderella, Liu Zixia with Prince, Jin Silkworm with ......

Music Direction: Liu Zixia......

This introduces the main creators of "Cinderella", and the most outstanding of them is naturally Liu Zixia's name, who alone has taken over several important creative columns in this movie.

After the introduction of information about the film's main creators, the screen flashed, and a light brown book appeared, and in the very middle of the book, there was a shiny crystal slipper.

Then the book opens, and inside is a magnificent picture, with a series of towering castle buildings, and vast forests......

As the picture zooms in, the narrator's voice rings out as it reaches the leftmost corner: "Once upon a time, in a faraway place, there was a small kingdom......

The narrator is Ms. Pingju, a well-known host of CCTV.

Her voice is full of magnetism and attractiveness, coupled with the kind of emotional narration, so that the children in the entire screening hall subconsciously sit up straight and listen carefully.

From then on, the gentleman was determined to give his daughter the best of all, but he found that she still lacked the love of her mother, and that the second wife, two of whom were about the same age as Cinderella......

As the narration is narrated, the audience seems to be transported to a fairy tale scene.

An ancient castle full of Western colors, a huge manor, fountains, flower beds, horses......
