A crescent moon hangs in the night sky, and three or four stars loom around.

Bright moonlight poured down, intertwining with pillars of light on the ground.

In the bustling city of Shanghai, it is already early in the morning, and there are still many cars and pedestrians on the road.

Especially in the area of Nanjing Road on the Bund, it is even more lively than during the day.

"Click!"

The four commercial vehicles stopped, Da Mi Mi, Guo Biting, Guo Xiaosi, Guo Caijie, and Sister Hold, as well as a group of chaotic actors, all walked out of the car.

A dozen assistants followed.

"Let's go, let's take a look at "Dalian by the Sea" together."

Guo Xiao is four short and has a very big voice.

Their group of demons and monsters got together, naturally for the promotion of "Small Times 34".

Today, a group of handsome men and beauties have completed seven programs, and the big guys are tired.

But I can't get off work yet.

I don't know when, the stars of the entertainment industry like to punch in Li Shengyao's movies.

With such treatment, Li Shengyao is the only one in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

"Dalian by the Sea" was released on the 15th of this month, relying on the fans of Li Shengyao and Lu Han, and now a week has passed, and the total box office has reached 120 million.

For a film that is biased towards literary films, this result is already good.

There has been a clear downward trend at the box office.

If nothing else, the total box office of this movie will be around 200 million.

But last night, Lee Shengyao won the best director at the Cannes Film Festival.

Three consecutive Best Director Awards at the three major European film festivals, Li Shengyao has set a new record in the film industry, and today the media in the entire mainland are overwhelmingly reported, all of which are praise.

Even the news hookup at seven o'clock in the evening took a minute to talk about it.

said that Lee Shengyao is the flagship director of Chinese films.

Under such public opinion, some audiences who didn't like literary films in the past and didn't like Luhan plan to go into the cinema.

As a result, today's box office is said to have completed the counterattack and became the daily champion again, with a single-day box office of 30 million.

crushed "First Love Time" and "My Broadcasting Girlfriend" to death.

The day before yesterday was May 20, and 520 released several movies that corresponded to the occasion, the most popular of which were "First Love Time" and "My Broadcasting Girlfriend".

The investors of these two films originally thought that they could take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.

turned out to be ruthlessly interrupted by "Dalian by the Sea".

Of course, these have nothing to do with "Little Times 34", "Little Times 34" will be broadcast in the summer file.

Guo Xiaosi came over this time just to check in.

He planned to watch the movie, then open Douban and copy a few sentences to watch the touching movie reviews.

Da Mi Mi snorted, constantly rolling her eyes, she was really sleepy.

She was still in Yanjing yesterday, and flew to Shanghai today, and after continuous work, it was early in the morning, and the result was not to rest.

This is the action of the entire crew of "Small Times 34", and she is embarrassed not to go.

"Dalian by the Sea" had just been produced, and she went to Fenghua's studio to watch this movie, and she didn't want to watch it a second time.

She plans to enter the theater later, have her assistant take pictures, and then put on her sunglasses and go to sleep.

Soon after, the group came to the theater.

In order to facilitate the hype, Guo Xiaosi chartered a hall alone, and when he planned to post on Weibo, he said that he had chartered the venue to support Li Shengyao.

The actors of "Little Times" first sat together and took a few photos, and then dispersed.

Everyone was very tired.

Da Mi Mi found a seat alone, then clasped his hands on his chest, put on sunglasses, and planned to sleep.

At this time, the weather in Shanghai was already a little hot, but the theater naturally turned on the air conditioning, which was very cool.

The subtitles scroll on the big screen, and the movie officially begins.

Da Mi Mi looked at it and closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, she suddenly woke up, looked at her phone, and found that it was still early, only ten minutes had passed.

She frowned slightly, and her gaze subconsciously fell on the big screen.

At this time, the movie was recalling the scene of the hero's tragic death of his children because of his mistakes, and she couldn't help but watch it.

Zhang Songwen's performance was very good, before the great sadness, he appeared very calm at first, looking at the children's corpses stupidly, and he was taken to the police station to make a record.

When the body calmed down, great sadness struck.

Sitting alone in the busy police station, tears slipping down his eyes, followed by boundless remorse, he saw a policeman's pistol, his eyes were desperate, he suddenly jumped up, snatched the pistol, and then pulled the trigger on his head.

Without opening the safety, he pulled the trigger continuously, and no bullets were fired.

Impatient, desperate, angry, he reached out and slapped his pistol, reacted, immediately opened the insurance, and then aimed it at his head again.

At this time, the police reacted, quickly stepped forward, and grabbed the pistol.

"Let me die, let me die, let me die."

Zhang Songwen wailed in despair.

The sudden emotional outburst once again suppressed Da Mi Mi.

It's even more shocking than watching it in the studio for the first time.

That's what it's like to watch a movie in a theater.

Zhang Songwen's explosive power is an unattainable ability for her, which can only be found in dreams.

She subconsciously looked at the others and found that as long as they didn't sleep, the people who were still watching movies were shocked.

Guo Xiaosi's eyes widened even more, looking very excited.

Da Mi Mi thought about it and planned to watch it a second time.

The acting skills are so poor, just learn from the masters, what if you really get the hang of it?

Later, the male protagonist left the small city and went to work in the big city, and when his own brother died, he had to return to the small city due to the funeral and the support of his nephew.

He met a lot of people he had known in the past, including his ex-wife.

At his brother's funeral, because they were busy, the two didn't communicate much, and the actor didn't have any emotions.

When they met for the second time, the actor had a more in-depth conversation with his ex-wife.

The ex-wife asked him to come out, and the male protagonist found that it seemed that the death of his children was a thing of the past, and everyone but him came out.

At this time, the general movie will be the male protagonist gaining strength, encouragement, and courage to face a new life.

However, this movie does not, the male protagonist is not only still sad, but also angry, he is desperate, dissatisfied, sad and angry, and he wants to escape.

After some thought, he realized that he was not capable of raising his nephew, and he left the small city with sadness, continuing to be immersed in endless remorse, self-blame and grief that he could not get rid of.

The movie ends.

Guo Xiaosi led the others to clap and applaud.

Da Mi Mi felt very uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than the first time I watched it.

This time she went deeper, and she couldn't imagine what kind of attitude she would face if she encountered such a problem herself.

The crew disbanded and agreed to gather at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and Da Mi Mi took his assistant back to the hotel.

The first time the assistant watched "Dalian by the Sea", his eyes were red, and he obviously cried.

Da Mi Mi smiled: "It's just a movie, don't take it too deeply." ”

The assistant glanced at Da Mi Mi, and then said, "Sister, I'm thinking of other things." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I don't have a boyfriend yet, and I don't know if I will have any children of my own in the future."

When Da Mi Mi heard this, he was stunned.

Yes, she's going to run for three right away, and she doesn't have any children.

……

The mainland film market in May is actually very lively.

At the beginning of this month, there were movies like "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "Little Reunion in the World", and in the middle of the month, the movies released together with "Dalian by the Sea" included "City Game", "Close Kill", "Water and Fire Collision", and "Heart Spell".

Then 520 has movies like "First Love Time" and "My Broadcasting Girlfriend".

By the end of May, there were more new movies, "New Mine Warfare: Brave Boy", "I Am the Wolf's Fire Dragon Mountain Adventure", "Maleficent", "Beacon Agent" and other cannon fodder films.

There are also blockbusters like "The Return" and "Eavesdropping 3".

"The Return" was released on May 27.

"Eavesdropping 3" was released on May 30.

For Lao Mouzi, the pressure is still quite high.

"The Return" returned from the Cannes Film Festival, and he realized that he was no longer suitable to participate in the three major European film festivals.

He's past his prime, and now he's not as good as the master of color he once was.

Since there is no way to go further in terms of awards, he can only put more expectations on the box office of the movie.

"The Return" is a literary film

Now the highest box office of mainland literary films is created by "Three Billboards".

If nothing else, due to the box office counterattack of "Dalian by the Sea", there is a high probability that it will surpass "Three Billboards".

In that case, "Dalian by the Sea" is the highest-grossing literary film, and judging from the current trend, the total box office should be more than 250 million.

It is quite difficult for "Return" to surpass "Dalian by the Sea".

With the attitude of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, after Lao Mouzi participated in the publicity, he took Zhang Mo to watch "Dalian by the Sea" together.

Zhang Mo has not been in a very good mood in recent days.

She and Gong Li have always had a bad relationship, and they didn't like each other when they were children, and they still do it now.

In the past few days, following the publicity of the crew of "Return", I had to stay together all day, which made her suffocated.

At this time, I heard that I could go to see Lee Shengyao's new film.

She was in a slightly better mood.

Not long after, Lao Mouzi's father and daughter found a place in the theater and sat down together.

Zhang Mo quickly looked into it.

She followed Li Shengyao for a while, and always regarded Li Shengyao as a teacher, without resistance, she accepted it at once, and then immersed herself in the sadness of the movie.

This frustrating movie made Zhang Mo cry when he watched it.

There are a lot of girls in the theater, and some uncles who can't control their emotions are wiping their tears.

Many people can't imagine how their children will get through that difficult time if they are unfortunately gone.

When I saw the male protagonist, whether it was in my nephew, or in my nephew's girlfriend's mother, or under the persuasion of old friends in the past, I couldn't get out.

Finally, pack your bags and leave the small city silently.

Zhang Mo almost cried, the movie was not flipped, it was really a mourning to the end.

She couldn't help but think of herself, although Lao Mouzi and her own mother divorced early, Lao Mouzi was still very good to her.

I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I still find a relationship, so that she can study directing in a beautiful country.

has never blamed her for finding a foreign boyfriend.

Thinking of this, she was a little ashamed, in fact, until this afternoon, she was still angry with Gong Li and rolled their eyes at each other.

Lao Mouzi has already given her the best, but she can't understand Lao Mouzi.

She turned her head and wanted to say a few soft words to Lao Mouzi, but found that Lao Mouzi's eyes were full of tears, and his eyes were already red.

In addition to Zhang Mo, Lao Mouzi also has several young children.

At this time, his age is about the same as the children of the male protagonist in the movie, and his generation is really uncomfortable.

Obviously, at his current age, he will definitely not be able to withstand the blow in the movie.

Noticing his daughter's gaze, Lao Mouzi hurriedly turned his head, and then wiped his tears.

When he wiped away his tears and the movie was over, everyone got up and left the theater one after another.

Lao Mouzi and Zhang Mo and most of the others left, and then slowly got up and walked out.

Lao Mouzi took out a tissue, sniffed, and then said with a wry smile: "I thought the media was hype, but I didn't expect it to be such a mournful movie, but I think such an arrangement is real."

Being a parent, pouring so much emotion, where can you easily get out. ”

Zhang Mo nodded, did not answer, the two left the theater, got into the car, she drove in front, and then suddenly said: "Dad, thank you for taking care of me for so many years." ”

Lao Mouzi was stunned when he heard this, smiled, and thought for a while, "It's okay, it should be." ”

When his daughter watched a movie, she could be more considerate of him, an old father, and Lao Mouzi was quite happy, and the sadness of watching the movie just now disappeared slightly.

He said slowly: "In this movie, Zhang Songwen's performance is really good, he is such a not very famous actor, I didn't expect to have such acting skills, no wonder he can win the best actor at the Berlin Film Festival." ”

"Well, he is a good actor, and Director Li found out."

Lao Mouzi smiled, and then said: "Then there is the role of Director Li, have you noticed that Director Li's movie does not have any big business routines, it is completely normal foreshadowing, and it is a situation that ordinary people will encounter in life."

But it's still easy to bring people in.

This is Lee Shengyao's current ability, the movie is very neat, almost impeccable, and all the links are very perfect.

Such a movie gives the audience a sense of substitution, and it is not easy to play, not only is it as simple as telling the story, but more importantly, he captures the audience's emotions from beginning to end.

This is the highest level of cinema, and it has always captured the emotions of the audience, so that it can influence the audience. ”

At this time, the street lights outside the car window were all over the place, and the dim lights could not keep up with the car, and they were quickly left behind.

When passing by a shopping mall, Lao Mouzi saw a huge billboard by Li Shengyao.

He looked at the young man on the billboard, his eyes were deep and complex, and he seemed to see himself twenty years ago.

At that time, all the films he made were so good and so bright.

He can say a whole lot of good things with his eyes closed, just like Lee Shengyao's current movie.

Where will it be like now, I have been repeating the old routine, and when I look at it, I know that it is the work of an old man.

Alas, old and incomparable.
