By the time Nash reached the ticket hall, several of his friends had already finished watching the movie, and the main hall was talking about the movie they were watching.

"I'm so disappointed, "Ghost of Mars" is so bad, it's a bad movie of bad movies!"

"Hey, Carpenter is really old, and he doesn't have the creativity he used to have!"

""Ghost Water Monster Talk" is okay, but it's not scary, but it's quite touching, it's about maternal love!"

"I can't understand the story of "Ghost Water Monster Tales" at all, that little girl was killed by someone, and if she doesn't take revenge, how can she pester other people's mothers?

At this time, they saw Nash coming over, and felt that he should be worse than themselves, a Chinese sci-fi film, it was a complete joke, haha laughed: "Nash, are your Chinese sci-fi films good?"

"It should be rotten, right? I have already advised you not to go and see it!"

Nash looked at his gloating friend and smiled proudly: "Guys, you guessed wrong, this Chinese sci-fi film is amazing! It's really amazing! I advise you to watch it too! This is a movie made by a genius director! A movie like no other!"

A few friends were stunned, looked at the smug Nash, and said suspiciously, "You're not kidding, are you?"

"It's not that you watched a bad movie and felt that you couldn't stand it, so you deliberately tricked us into watching it once!"

"It must be so, this is a Chinese science fiction film! Nash, don't think we're fools, we won't be fooled!"

Nash said proudly: "Of course it's true, this movie is so exciting, there are many details that I didn't understand." So I decided to watch it again!"

The five companions had grown their mouths, and they even had to look at it again. That's not nonsense, but this movie is really that good. Worth rewatching?

Twenty minutes later, Nash bought his ticket and whistled into the theater where "Prisoner of Time" was shown, waiting to watch it again. He walked into the screening room with five of his companions, all of whom wanted to see if the Chinese film was really as good as Nash said.

It's just that they don't know that of the more than 50 viewers in the first show, more than 10 stayed and bought tickets for the second viewing. It also included three media journalists.

In 2002, Facebook didn't exist and Twitter didn't have yet, but movie lovers had their own circles and special forums. On this night, fans who watched "Time Prisoner" began to leave messages in the forum, and the comments were one-sided praise.

"Wonderful, good movie! Although the picture is a little rougher, the footage is masterful, and there is no room for breathing in the whole story. Not to mention going to the toilet, and the final ending is so warm that it's unimaginable!"

"Bring your friends and see it, you won't be disappointed. Definitely worth a look!"

"It's so exciting! Sci-fi, suspenseful, warm, complete, and can switch between time and space freely. The actor also played very well. It's an infinite loop story that is very creative. The plot has been advancing in constant ups and downs, without the slightest laziness. Highly recommended!"

One by one, they have been praised. It immediately aroused the interest of many science fiction lovers, and they agreed to watch it tomorrow.

The next morning, the festival program was released. The opening article gave "Time Prisoner" and gave high praise to the movie.

"A good movie is not only about the colorful picture, or the twists and turns of the story are intriguing, a good movie must have its own thoughts. A work without a thought of its own, no matter how fancy it is, is only vain, empty and lacks soul. The story of "Time Prisoner" is very reminiscent of "Groundhog Day", but the two talk about completely different things, "Time Prisoner" is a story about the redemption of the soul.

A man who drove drunk and crashed into a school bus that led to the deaths of several children, as well as the deaths of his wife and daughter, was sentenced to time imprisonment and could only live the same day in his lifetime. At first, he lived only numbly, until he and the little girl who looked exactly like his daughter were hit by a car and died. He began the action of saving the girl, and in the process his heart began to change, completing the entire psychological process from guilt-salvation-escape-sacrifice, and finally completed the redemption of his own soul through self-sacrifice.

On the main line of plot construction, the director realizes the causal and logical connection of the characters in the process of spiritual salvation, with a religious sense of redemption. The director of the film should be an idealist who believes in the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature, which is especially evident at the end of the film. ”

In addition to the house magazine, other media and filmmakers have expressed their opinions, and almost all of them have given very high praise.

"This is the biggest discovery of this festival, the whole film is tight, gripping and fast-paced. I'm sure the young director will have a great future!" - Empire Magazine.

"'Prisoner of Time' is so wonderful!The plot setting is quite brilliant, and although this one-day cycle is reminiscent of "Groundhog Day," "Groundhog Day" doesn't give a reason for the cycle, and in "Prisoner of Time" it's a punishment, so cruel!" - John Carpenter, master of horror films.

A flood of applause and praise struck the audience, further piquing the audience's interest, and long queues of ticket buyers formed in the cinema.

By 5 p.m., the two theaters showing "Time Prisoner" sold out all day's tickets.

The conductor's words immediately aroused thousands of anger, and the audience in the entire ticket hall was excited, waiting in line for such a long time, and telling themselves that they had no tickets at this time?

"Bastard, tell your manager to come out!"

"It's really funny, there are so few movies for such a great movie, do you managers have brains and want to make money?"

"Extra, you have to add up!"

The theater manager looked at the excited audience in front of him and felt a lot of pressure. A group of werewolves, vampires, and zombies protest in front of them, and the pressure must be high. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and announced the extra.

Hearing the extras, the emotional people suddenly quieted down, as long as there were tickets, even if it was until midnight, they were willing to wait. No way, their curiosity was piqued. I want to see if this movie is really that good.

In comparison, "Ghost of Mars" and "Ghost of Mars", which were screened in the same theater, are much more deserted. The whole situation is completely reversed.

In just one day, "Prisoner of Time" went from 35th place in votes. quickly rose to the 6th place, not only beating Park Chan-wook, Hideo Tanaka, and Takashi Miike, but also leaving Li Shiming far behind. Li Shiming's "Lost Memories 2009" is the same as Zhang Ran expected, neither the media nor the audience is too cold, and the evaluation is relatively low, ranking 27th.

Because the victory was in hand, Zhang Ran was relieved to go out to play boldly. Of course, while playing, he did not forget that the students and colleagues in the class brought some souvenirs. bought a large bag of handmade chocolates for the students in the class, a lace tablecloth for Li Xinyue, and a handicraft for Zhou Zheng.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ran returned to the hotel with a large bag of gifts. He and Zhang Jingchu had just gotten out of the car and were about to walk to the hotel.

Suddenly, someone shouted in French or Dutch, and a large group of foreigners, one by one, opened their eyes wide, screamed, and rushed over in a swarm.

Zhang Ran was a little dumbfounded. He wondered what was going on, what was the zombie siege or what's wrong, why were they all coming this way? He was wondering when the foreigners rushed in front of them. He surrounded them at once, shouting loudly and gesturing in his hands. Very emotional.

Zhang Jingchu was frightened and screamed. Hiding behind Zhang Ran, he looked at the group of strangely dressed foreigners in horror.

Zhang Ran couldn't understand what this group of foreigners were shouting. Putting the things in his hand on the ground, he slapped his hands and put on a posture of white cranes with bright wings, and said loudly in English: "What do you want to do?

"No, no, don't get me wrong, we don't mean anything malicious, we just want Yan to sign us!" said a blonde foreigner in the crowd in half-baked English.

Zhang Ran was a little unsure, pointed to Zhang Jingchu behind him and asked, "Are you looking for her to sign an autograph?"

There was a burst of "choking" in the crowd.

The blonde foreigner walked over, handed a pen and a notebook to Zhang Jingchu, and said, "I like "Time Prisoner very much", and I like you very much, please sign me!"

Everyone else also took out pens and notebooks and stretched them out in front of Zhang Jingchu, waiting for her to sign.

Zhang Jingchu then understood what was going on, they were not shouting "yes" but shouting "Yan", breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, took the blonde foreigner's pen and book, signed his name, and then returned it to him.

The blonde foreigner thanked Zhang Jingchu, looked at Zhang Ran and said, "Man, you must be Yan's boyfriend, I really envy you!"

Zhang Ran shook his hand and said, "No, I'm the director of the movie!"

Hearing that Zhang Ran was the director, the scene immediately burst into warm applause and various praises. A group of foreigners showed greater enthusiasm than Zhang Jingchu: "Man, your movie is amazing! You have changed my impression of Chinese films, it turns out that China can also make great science fiction films!" As he spoke, he handed the pen and book to Zhang Ran: "Please sign for me!"

After signing the name, they took a group photo again, and when this group of enthusiastic fans dispersed, half an hour passed. Zhang Ran couldn't help but be curious, and went to the theater to take a look. The queue waiting for admission was thirty or forty meters long, which was an unprecedented pomp.

"Director, there are so many people, our movie is on fire!" Zhang Jingchu stood beside Zhang Ran, her eyes widened, looking at the crowded ticket hall, and said excitedly.

Zhang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed to the fans queuing up in the ticket hall, and said confidently: "This is nothing, all the fans who come to the film festival are hardcore fans of science fiction and horror films." If one day, our film can make ordinary audiences queue up to buy tickets like this, it will be considered a success!" (To be continued......)
