After years of development, movies have formed a set of unspoken rules, such as the length of the film is generally maintained between 90 minutes and 120 minutes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

From the audience's point of view, 120 minutes is the most suitable viewing experience. If the film is too long, long-term concentration will make both visual and mental fatigue, and there are some physical problems - going to the toilet, which will also affect the audience's viewing experience.

However, this is not necessarily the case. The main reason for the length of the film can be traced back to the early days of film development, when it was still the era of film. The film used for film shooting generally has a capacity of 15 minutes, so any movie or TV show at that time was a multiple of 15, and the TV series that are still in use today are also 45 minutes.

If it's 121 minutes, wouldn't that have to be filled with a whole empty plate for that minute?

It's all cost, and even if a director comes, the producer will definitely ask for a minute to be cut. Don't look at it, it's only one minute, one disc, for a movie that is released in large quantities, the total is quite a lot.

From the perspective of the theater, in the case of being able to attract the audience, of course, the shorter the time, the better, after all, the audience's consumption follows the habit, and it is impossible for the theater to charge double the money because the duration has doubled, right? The theater may want to do this, I'm afraid the audience won't buy it.

And the length of the film will also affect the scheduling of other films, of course, the theater likes the shorter the better, because when the ticket price is basically the same, the more films are made, the more income, so the theater does not like the long film length.

If the theater doesn't like it, the difficulty of distribution will come up, and the producer won't like the director to make a movie that is so long.

From the audience, production, distribution, and theaters, they have all become accustomed to this 120-minute mode, which affects the whole body. So even in the digital age, where there are no longer hardware limitations, this unspoken rule is still applied.

"April is Your Lies" is not well scheduled, only 6.7% of the film, one is that the director is not famous and lacks box office appeal, and the other is as long as 3 hours, and it is not kicked out by the theater thanks to the producer is talking about the media.

When Tian Cong saw the sample copy for the first time, he commented on it with only one word: cut!

On the fifth day, Cang Shuhong had a pair of deep dark circles under his eyes, and he sent the copy with a haggard look, and Tian Cong looked at it - didn't this TM cut it for a minute?

But Cangshuhong really can't cut it, this is the most ideal story in her heart, just like a puzzle like a dream, missing any insignificant place, it will make this dream seem incomplete, and the gorgeous colors will lose a lot.

Even for these three hours, she watched it over and over again, cut it over and over again, and cut out even the slightly deficient places, and there were still more than 170 minutes left. But in 10,623 seconds, even if it was a second, she couldn't find a place to cut it.

If it is divided into two, it seems too short, and the schedule of the movie is also a problem, and for the audience, the viewing experience is also very important.

It's like splitting the game into two parts to sell DLC, which makes people think about making money. However, movies are a kind of money, and money is a kind of strength, and some viewers are willing to be willingly made money by some people, but Cangshuhong is obviously not among them.

Cang Shuhong is very stubborn, "April is Your Lie" is like a babbling river, which cannot be cut or separated.

After reading it, Tian Cong finally compromised.

No one is not optimistic about it, and no one is optimistic about it, because it is like a bunch of dog's tail grass on the side of the road, a side dish before the summer battlefield fight, a foil, and no one pays attention to it at all.

……

At the beginning of the film, with the prologue, the camera comes to the playground of the campus.

The energetic students are full of youth and sweat.

The camera passed through the football field, basketball court, table tennis table, badminton court...... Came to the tennis court near the edge.

"Hey!"

Sawabe Tsubaki, played by Nanami Aoyama, stretched out a pleasing arc to the fullest, and the racket in his hand was swung out vigorously, and the galloping tennis ball quickly turned back to the opposite court.

Shizuka Sakaki jumped high, and her slightly raised hem revealed her delicate lower abdomen full of vitality.

The active figures of the two beautiful girls on the court are like a clear stream in summer.

At the end of the prologue, Nanami Aoyama hit a ball, missed, the tennis ball flew high, the camera went up, the tennis ball flew towards the sun, the dazzling light made the camera flash, white and expansive, and the name of the film "April is Your Lies" gradually emerged from the dazzling white light.

Immediately afterward, the sound of piano music suddenly appears in the background, and the camera pans to it. The picture comes to a gorgeous concert hall, the huge concert hall is full of people, and in the quiet concert hall, people's expressions are concentrated, only the passionate piano music echoes in the air above the concert hall.

The camera pans to the stage, where a piano sits in the center, and a child sits in front of it.

The child did not smile, his eyes fixed on the piano, his fingers flying on the keys, and the stormy melody rushed to the eardrums of the audience.

At the peak of the boiling enthusiasm, the picture suddenly goes black, and everything comes to an abrupt halt.

However, the surging mood of the audience was not calmed down, as if a sweet dream was in the middle of a dream, but it was suddenly awakened from the dream.

Why did it stop all of a sudden?

As if answering questions from the audience, a "pop" of glass was suddenly heard in the darkness. The girl who started to play tennis (Tsubaki Sawabe) appears in the picture again, she secretly pushes a door open a narrow slit, and peeks in with her wincing eyes.

Following her gaze, the camera shows a scene from the room.

It seemed to be a music classroom, in an empty room, there was a piano by the window, and a young man, lying next to the piano, a tennis ball lying quietly in a corner not far from him, his hand scattered with sheet music, his head cracked, and a few drops of blood dripping on the score.

Although there is no place in the picture where the tennis ball that was knocked away by the girl, but after hearing the sound of the glass being broken, and seeing the picture in front of them, the audience's minds have already made up the development of a girl who accidentally hit the tennis ball and then injured someone.

However, could it be a coincidence that the sound of glass breaking was inserted abruptly in the climax of the piano music just now?

The piano, the score, the boy and the interrupted performance, a question lingered in the hearts of the audience: Could it be that the child who played the piano just now was the past of this teenager?

Bloodstained sheet music, with interrupted performances...... What happened to him to stop playing, could it have something to do with the tennis girl?

If it is placed in a suspense story, such a beginning is mediocre, but this is a romance film, which makes Kasumigaoka Shiyu full of curiosity about the next unfolding.

The off-the-beaten-path opening is like a cosmic singularity, and from this it opens up a world to the audience. (To be continued.) )
