Li Changle and Wang Siyi were standing in the cinema waiting to get their tickets. Originally, they wanted to keep a low profile and choose a show with fewer people.
However, after arriving at the cinema, the two found that even the earliest show was crowded. It has to be said that the consumption capacity of the Spring Festival movie market is really strong.
"There are so many people, why don't we just forget it? We can watch it again when we have a chance." Li Changle looked at the queue for tickets and said to Wang Siyi helplessly.
Wang Siyi glanced at the crowd in the cinema, frowning under his sunglasses, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Since we're here."
Li Changle was more worried that if Wang Siyi was recognized by fans in the cinema, it would be difficult for them to walk out of here on their own today. Given Wang Siyi's current popularity, this statement was not a joke.
However, Wang Siyi was very relaxed and insisted on watching the movie. Li Changle had no choice but to hold Wang Siyi in her arms and try to let Wang Siyi snuggle in her arms.
Wang Siyi snuggled in Li Changle's arms, her face slightly red. She was not used to doing such intimate actions in public, but fortunately, the mask and sunglasses concealed Wang Siyi's abnormality very well.
After waiting in line for a few minutes, they finally got the movie tickets. After getting the tickets, Li Changle bought drinks and popcorn as if she was familiar with the place. After all, it was not the first time for her to watch a movie with Wang Siyi, and Li Changle still remembered Wang Siyi's taste clearly.
After the two of them sat down in the theater, Wang Siyi looked around. In order to keep a low profile, Li Changle chose a seat in the upper left corner. After making sure that no one was looking at them, Wang Siyi took off the mask on his face with a sense of relief and let out a sigh of relief.
This kind of life where one has to be cautious no matter where one goes makes Wang Siyi feel a little unhappy. However, before Wang Siyi can continue thinking about it, a piece of popcorn is stuffed into his mouth. Wang Siyi cannot refuse the caramel aroma of the popcorn.
"Cheer up and have a popcorn." Li Changle took a popcorn in her hand and said to Wang Siyi with a smile, and then stuffed another one into Wang Siyi's pocket.
Li Changle could feel Wang Siyi's emotions and could probably guess the reason, but Li Changle did not delve into this topic. Instead, she asked Wang Siyi to concentrate on dealing with popcorn. Wang Siyi, who was a foodie, was soon ruthlessly suppressed by the popcorn.
"The movie has started." Li Changle stopped feeding the baby and whispered. The originally noisy theater fell into silence after the sound of the movie started.
The movie opens with a song, Just Ordinary.
Different from the original version, Huang Wenchuan used flashbacks in this film, putting the ending where Cheng Yong was arrested and sitting in a police car at the beginning. Under the gaze of everyone, the song "As Long as It's Ordinary" was slowly sung.
"This song is so nice. Regardless of whether the movie is good or not, just hearing this song in the cinema is worth the price of the ticket. You picked a good movie this time." Li Changle heard the girl in front of her whisper to her boyfriend.
"This is sung by Wang Wanjun and Li Xiaoyao, it can't be bad. The last time I watched "A Thousand Years of Love" in the cinema, the beautiful myth they sang was very nice. This time I didn't even read what the theme of the movie was, I just saw that the theme song was sung by them, so I bought the ticket without hesitation." This boy is obviously a true fan of Wang Siyi and Li Changle.
Li Changle glanced at Wang Siyi, who had put on her mask again, then turned sideways and whispered, "Hey, look, your fans."
Wang Siyi rolled her eyes at Li Changle and ignored this boring person, her gaze focused on the giant screen.
Although she had read the script early on, Wang Siyi was still deeply attracted by the story when it was presented in three dimensions through the characters' performances.
It wasn't just Wang Siyi, everyone in the entire cinema was like this. At the beginning of the show, the young couples in front of the theater were whispering about the plot, but as the plot progressed, the entire cinema fell into silence.
Before watching this movie, people more or less knew what it was about, and everyone came with high expectations for such a sensitive subject.
In the end, the movie did not disappoint everyone's expectations. The protagonist has shortcomings, such as being vulgar, lustful, irritable, etc., but he is also a kind-hearted person. From the beginning, he simply wanted to make money to purchase fake drugs, but in the end he stopped selling drugs for profit, just to give leukemia patients hope of survival.
The more than two-hour movie tells the story of a small person's transformation from ordinary to great and glorious human nature. In addition to the protagonist, each character in the film is also quite outstanding, highlighting a truth.
After the police seized the fake drugs from the leukemia patients, everyone kept their mouths shut, not only did they not give out the culprit, they even asked the police not to pursue the matter any further.
"I've been sick for three years, taking medicine that costs 40,000 yuan a bottle. I've lost my house and my family. Now it's hard to find cheap medicine, but you insist it's fake. Don't we know it's fake or not..."
This explosive performance by the elderly lady in the extras made everyone in the theater's scalps tingle and their defenses were completely broken. A bloody fact was laid out on the table to tell everyone how terrible leukemia is, how much disaster it will bring to a family, and how unreasonable the current medical system is...
All of this is laid out in this movie.
The movie ended, and the song "As Long as It's Ordinary" started playing on the screen in the theater again. No one present stood up, but listened to the song silently before slowly starting to leave.
Li Changle heard a lot of sobbing while watching the movie, especially from the little girl in the front, who was quite emotional and was crying uncontrollably halfway through the movie.
Sadness will spread. Even though Li Changle had watched the movie once, the incessant sobbing in the theater finally broke her down a little. Wang Siyi was obviously not in much better condition, with her eyes red. Li Changle handed Wang Siyi tissues many times during the movie.
"Director Huang, how could such a sad movie be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year..." Li Changle complained to herself while handing Wang Siyi a tissue.
But no matter how Li Changle complained, the movie "Dying to Survive" unexpectedly became a huge hit after its first round of screenings.
