Chapter 184: The Venue Was Full

"Give me two copies of "Once Upon a Time" at half past seven.

"Sold out."

"That's half-past nine."

"It's sold out, too."

"Then do you have any tickets for Lao Tzu, don't you want to do business anymore?"

"Eleven o'clock, there are still many tickets after eleven o'clock, otherwise the midnight show will also work."

"Your uncle, I waited in line for almost two hours, and you told me that it was after eleven o'clock?"

"I'm sorry, many people have booked tickets in advance, and we don't have tickets in our hands, if you think it's too late, you can come back tomorrow."

"I'll fuck your sister......"

"Sir, if you don't show respect, I'm going to call the security guard or call the police!"

"Again, do you want to die? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu called a van man to come and cut you? ”

……

Such a scene took place in the Guoxing Cinema in Shiliting, Yanjing, and was filmed by the audience of good things when the incident happened, and it immediately went viral on the Internet.

"Once Upon a Time: Lingyun Ambition" is hard to find, and even the audience and the conductor have argued over the purchase of tickets, which has not happened in the past many years.

The main reason is that "Once Upon a Time: Lingyun Ambition" is too popular, directed and produced by Xiao Ran, and starring Xiao Yuanshan, who is now the hottest, plus the father and son both won the Golden Dragon Award, and the previous Journey to the West series was widely acclaimed, so it immediately caused a strong storm of ticket purchases in first-tier cities.

Because many people couldn't buy tickets, they played ruthlessly at the ticket office on the spot, which eventually caused a lot of unnecessary disputes, but because of this, the director of the movie became more and more popular.

"Or forget it? If you don't have a ticket, go to other cinemas to watch "The Emperor of Shanghai"? Anyway, I watched the last one. It's also very good-looking. ”

"Have you seen it? I didn't see it! Part of it is a movie with two episodes, how can I accompany you to watch the next episode if you don't watch the last episode? ”

Although I can't buy a movie ticket for "Once Upon a Time". But many viewers who have not watched the first episode of the Shanghai Emperor series of movies before can't watch the next episode, and they are afraid that the plot will be incoherent. I don't know what I'm playing!

This is also a risk that the movie is divided into upper and lower episodes, that is, if the last episode sells well, the box office of the next episode will not be too bad, but if there is no audience who has watched the previous episode, it is difficult to buy tickets to watch the second half!

is like the "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" that Xiao Ran was very entangled in his previous life, in his personal opinion, the movie is very good-looking, getting rid of the original protagonist's muddy and indecisive character, but because of the box office, he has not been able to shoot the next one. makes Xiao Ran very worried!

……

"Mr. Lu, the great news, almost all of our cinemas in the main first-tier cities of Yanjing are full, including the attendance rate of theaters in other second- and third-tier cities, which will not be less than eighty!"

Under the situation of excellent box office results, the general manager of Yida's cinema chain hurriedly reported to Lu Yuesheng that this has been a situation that has been difficult to see for many years, and several leading theaters with more than 1,500 people have been full at this time. This has been a fantasy for the past few years!

"Okay, I got it."

After Lu Yuesheng hung up the phone, a smile appeared on his face, this Xiao Ran is always creating all kinds of miracles. It's a shock every once in a while.

The success of "Once Upon a Time: Lingyun's Ambition" is not only reflected in the fact that the venue is full and it is difficult to get a ticket, but more importantly, this film has attracted many young filmmakers who want to steal teachers. They all ran to the cinema to watch the movie, and then gave it all kinds of high praise.

Even Li Shengtian, who is now famous because of the Shanghai Emperor series. I also can't help but run to the cinema to watch this rival movie.

"This lion dance is too expressive!"

Purely from the beginning of the film, Wong Fei Hung took the clip of the sailor's lion dance on the deck. The shooting made Li Shengtian very excited, especially when Liu Yongfu of the Black Flag Army handed over a fan full of unequal treaties to Huang Feihong, Li Shengtian felt that his heart was also touched.

For that period of hundreds of years of humiliating history, perhaps many Chinese people chose to forget it after they became stronger, but such a movie gave people a kind of thinking about the past history.

After the lion dance, the film returned to Foshan, and in the scene before and after the photo shoot in the teahouse, people of various doctrines and religions appeared one after another, which was a secular picture of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and completely brought the audience to more than a hundred years ago with the lens.

"The Chinese people's philosophy of survival is, after all, wise and self-preservation."

When Li Shengtian saw that the people of the Shahe Gang were overcharging protection money, and Huang Feihong came out, but no one was willing to testify, Li Shengtian's heart couldn't help but start thinking again, just like the dazed Huang Feihong asked the preacher in the movie: I arrested a bad guy today, can Jesus help me testify?

Then the Shahe Gang burned Bao Zhilin, and Huang Feihong, who was invincible with fists and feet, was finally unable to protect himself, and saw that the fan full of unequal treaties was burned off because of the fire, and the original unequal treaties actually became equal treaties!

The setting of this shot made Li Shengtian applaud, because the setting here is completely reminiscent of the era when the great powers used gunsmoke and artillery fire to forcibly turn the invasion into legal possession, which undoubtedly corresponds to this shot!

"It just convinces me!"

At this moment, Li Shengtian couldn't help but admit defeat completely, although he didn't know who wrote the Shanghai Emperor series he filmed, but he felt that if the Shanghai Emperor series can be called a classic, then the Huang Feihong series is a classic among the classics!

"No matter how strong your fists and feet are, you can't match the guns!"

In the Wong Fei Hung series, Lee Seung Tin really got too many insights, is Wong Fei Hung's kung fu strong in this movie?

Very strong! And it is several times stronger than Huang Feihong, who has survived in real history, but there are still many things Huang Feihong still feels helpless, he saw foreigners kill unarmed people with guns and cannons when he was in the theater troupe, but he was powerless to fight back.

He saw that many compatriots were deceived by foreigners to Jinshan to be piglets, but he was powerless to change!

Even the militia reorganized by the people left by Liu Yongfu was always suppressed by the official forces of the Yamen.

In fact, the movie itself is different from ordinary martial arts movies, because the movie itself is not confined to the general grievances of the rivers and lakes, so in the movie, neither the Shahe Gang nor Yan Zhendong are not characters in the eyes of the audience, only Huang Feihong is the real hero.

The whole movie is full of a factor of family and country hatred, under the background of the changes of the Manchu era, every character is portrayed so vividly, insensitive and insensitive ordinary people, the foreign priest who is willing to testify for Huang Feihong, and the Shahe gang who colludes with foreigners to sell piglets, all appear vividly on the big screen.

It is especially worth mentioning the design of the fight scenes in the movie, whether it is Wong Fei Hung's umbrella battle or the final bamboo ladder battle, it can be called a classic in kung fu movies!

And although there is a certain amount of preaching and complaining in the series of movies in "Huang Feihong", it is combined with the big era in the movie, so that countless audiences can accept and think without blindly feeling rejected.

is also fortunate to Xiao Ran's unforgettable talent, otherwise he may not be able to make this movie well, because the success of this movie lies in the fact that many of its small details are handled perfectly, such as Huang Feihong's fan of the unequal treaty, and the attitude of the thirteenth aunt who wants to make a suit for him, and the bright light when Liang Kuan's overturned Shahe Gang gave Yan Zhendong the money to open a martial arts hall, and even just a shot is fixed on the cloth shoes, which also has a certain meaning.

……

After the two movies "Huang Feihong: Lingyun Ambition" and "Shanghai Emperor's Domination of the World" dragged on for a period of time, they were finally released at the end of April, in order to be the prime time of May Day, and before May Day, "Shanghai Emperor's Hero" had been released for exactly a week!

However, the box office in the first week just exceeded more than 100 million points, and from the analysis of the number jΓΉ, it has been declining, and it exceeded 20 million on the first day, but since the third day of the release of "Huang Feihong: Lingyun Ambition" was also released at the same time, the box office has been pulled down a lot.

And "Once Upon a Time: Lingyun Ambition" only arrived on May Day, and the box office in five days of release was close to 300 million, so that countless filmmakers couldn't help but go into the cinema to watch what is the magic of this movie!

Of course, there must be a lot of movies released during the May Day golden period, but even Hollywood blockbusters that have always been guaranteed at the box office in China have to make way for these two movies at this moment, and as for the movies made by other small film companies in China, they can't get a good schedule!

For example, the cinemas under Yida Cinema Line have lined up "Once Upon a Time: Lingyun Ambition" densely, almost on average, there is one every three hours, but even so, it is still popular on May Day, and it is often full in a row, although it is not as hard to find a ticket as a few days ago, but the attendance rate is still maintained at more than eighty!

At the box office, "Once Upon a Time: Lingyun Ambition" has risen wildly, getting farther and farther away from "The Emperor of Shanghai: Dominating the World", but except for the gap in the box office, the two movies are both first-class good movies.

When "The Emperor of Shanghai" came to the second week, although the box office failed to skyrocket, under the strong pressure of "Huang Feihong: Lingyun Ambition", it still maintained a box office of 80 million, and the total box office has reached nearly 190 million.

Many viewers who have watched the first part still can't forget this movie series, so after watching "Once Upon a Time" in the cinema, they paid for the movie tickets for "The Emperor of Shanghai: Dominating the World", and the audience's desire to watch the movie was boosted all of a sudden.
