Chapter 388: Fighting the Ring: Those Years is officially released
"Those Years" has been scheduled for release, and the entire Internet has become lively again because of this event.
Seeing Su Yang's trick, the investors of the other two blockbusters widened their eyes. Seeing the popularity, they couldn't help but curse, "Fuck, this is also possible, and it can be played like this!"
Thinking about what had happened during this period, these people couldn't help but curse in their hearts again. Damn it, Su, the most profound routine in the entertainment industry is the routine you play.
Damn, it turns out that "Those Years" is also a small-budget movie. Such small-budget movies usually don't perform well at the box office even if they don't encounter strong opponents.
Now, Su Yang has used this trick to the extreme. He directly portrays this movie as a hero sniping Hollywood blockbusters. This is fucking insidious.
If you establish a persona like this and inspire a little patriotism among netizens, you can reap good box office returns. Now, not only can you make money, but you can also gain a good reputation. Even if it fails miserably, it's still a glorious defeat. Because there are people who act as stepping stones, your own large investment wouldn't even dare to go against them. Although Su Yang's small production failed, it dared to fight.
Damn, so insidious. Now these people realize that even talented people can be truly terrifying when they become insidious. This is a blatant conspiracy, but it's enough to make you sick for a long time, and you still have to be his stepping stone.
"Those Years" is now riding on the coattails of "Investiture of the Gods" and "Borderland Cops." Regardless of future box office results and the nominations for "Investiture of the Gods" and "Borderland Cops," when Chinese netizens mention these three films in the future, "Those Years" will have a good reputation.
No matter how impressive the performance of "War of the Gods" and "Borderland Cop" is, when they are mentioned in the future, there will definitely be many netizens who will scold these two movies as cowards and deserters, and this label will not be removed in a short time.
Now, some of these people even prayed that "Those Years" would perform worse and have worse quality, otherwise they would be even more embarrassed. But when they thought about Su Yang's talent, they immediately felt ashamed. Su Yang was a shameless bastard, but his talent was really beyond words and could not be criticized.
Lively, extremely lively.
Amidst the excitement, pre-sales for movie tickets for "Ford 6" and "Those Years" have officially begun.
In terms of film scheduling, "Ford 6" has an absolute advantage. As a Hollywood blockbuster, and a 3D blockbuster, it will definitely be given priority in film scheduling.
As for "Those Years", it is just a small-scale youth film, not a 3D blockbuster, and it is released at the same time as "Speed", so it is good enough to be given some screening time.
These theater chains don't care about sentimentality, they just want to make money. And the theater chains are very powerful, they will schedule films for whoever can make money.
However, "Those Years" is also very popular. Many cinema chains have many 2D theaters, and most of the screenings in these theaters are "Those Years".
Su Yang also has a very good reputation in the cinema industry. Both "Big Shot" and "Monkey King: Hero is Back" have high box office, and Su Yang is also a high-quality customer in the cinema industry.
So in the final screening schedule, the overall screening rate of "Ford 6" is 64.7%, which is a very high screening rate.
The overall screening rate for "Those Years" is only 21.3%, only one-third of "Speed." Furthermore, "Those Years" is mostly shown in small theaters, and ticket prices are not expensive, often around 25 or 30 yuan. Some theaters even charge only 20 yuan.
Let’s take a look at the ticket prices for “Speed”. The cheapest one costs thirty or forty yuan, and that’s a special offer. The ticket prices for some giant screen halls are even over a hundred yuan.
Faced with this situation, any discerning person can see that "Those Years" is not at the same level as "Speed", at least in the early stages it is definitely not on the same level.
"I've already got the tickets. I'm going to watch it with my girlfriend..."
"Support Brother Yang, I grabbed two tickets, two single guys are going to watch it..."
"Fuck! I didn't even get a ticket for the 6th. The cinema next door has so few screenings..."
"Damn it, it's too late. This position is not good..."
"Support Brother Yang..."
"Sorry, I got tickets for both movies. I just wanted to compare them and see how good they were..."
Tickets are officially on pre-sale, and both films are very popular. The attendance rate is very high. "Speed" is a super IP with many loyal fans.
"Those Years" is the work of Su Yang, whose appeal is undeniable. This situation is not surprising at all. Seeing such a high attendance rate, the cinema chain was overjoyed.
A different kind of war has officially begun. However, almost everyone is pessimistic about this battle. Although the quality of "Those Years" may be good, the enemy it faces is too powerful.
July 6th, arrived as promised.
Early in the morning, many people who bought tickets walked into the cinema. The audience groups of these two movies actually overlap, and both are mainly young people.
The university students who are on vacation are undoubtedly a formidable consumer group. They have the time and money, so they become the main consumer force during the summer vacation.
Liu Fei is a college student who returned to his hometown after the holiday. With nothing else to do, he decided to go see a movie today.
There are only two good movie theaters in the small county town where I live, and there were a lot of people in the theaters today.
Liu Fei had two tickets in his hand, one for "The Amazing Race 6" and the other for "Those Years".
Moreover, the two movies are next to each other, so I can watch them this morning if I have nothing to do.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the first show of "The Amazing Race 6" began, and Liu Fei found his seat and sat down.
Liu Fei has watched the first five "Speed" movies. He is very good at this series of movies. It is very cool, the cars are very handsome, and the racing is very exciting.
As for the story, young people don't care about the story. As long as it's exciting and fun, that's enough.
The movie officially started and Liu Fei watched it very seriously.
The movie is the same as the previous ones, and the routine is the same. Good guys and bad guys fight.
This time, the scene was even more exciting. The various exciting car races made Liu Fei's blood boil.
Typical Hollywood routines, racing, explosions, gunfights, beauties, all gathered together this time.
Before I knew it, the whole movie had come to an end.
"Stimulate……"
Liu Fei couldn't help but sigh, the scene was very exciting, the racing was very thrilling. As for the story, Liu Fei thought about it carefully and didn't think there was much of a story.
For a movie like this, what kind of story is needed? Just enough excitement will do.
After watching "Speed", Liu Fei walked out of the cinema.
“It’s really good…”
“The racing is amazing…”
"But I don't think it's as good as the fourth one. It's getting more and more exaggerated..."
"It's okay..."
Some people were talking as they walked. Because "Ford 6" was quite long, when that movie ended, the second show of "Those Years" had already started.
Liu Fei waited for a while, then walked into another hall with the ticket.
Compared with this hall and the 3D hall just now, it is obviously smaller. But the hall is packed with spectators.
Many of them were young couples, coming in pairs. Liu Fei looked at the other couples and felt a little envious. He also thought of his girlfriend at this moment, but unfortunately, she had returned to her hometown and he wouldn't be able to see her for the entire summer.
Soon, the movie officially began.
Liu Fei started laughing as soon as the movie started. The familiar feeling, the campus, the uniforms, and the youthful figures reminded him of his own high school life.
Compared with the original version of the system, Su Yang made some changes and changes in style. The original story took place in Taiwan, so his own story naturally could not take place there.
So in terms of story style, it tends to be inland.
The familiar blue and white school uniforms, the familiar campus, the familiar slogans, and the familiar high school life resonated with many viewers and reminded them of their own high school life.
The protagonist Xiao Fei is a typical bad boy in school. It can be said that everyone has a Xiao Fei or a group of Xiao Fei in their class.
Not fond of studying, likes to show off, likes to make trouble, etc.
As the plot progressed, many people couldn't help but smile.
Boys smile because they may have their own Shen Jiayi in their hearts. Girls smile because they may have their own Xiao Fei in their world.
"Shen Jiayi, I like you very much. I like you very much. One day I will pursue you. I will definitely pursue you!"
"Do you want to know the answer? I can tell you right now..."
"Please don't tell me now, please let me continue to like you..."
"If you've ever truly loved someone, you'll know that it's simply impossible to sincerely wish them eternal happiness with someone else."
"The cruelest part of growing up is that girls are always more mature than boys of the same age. It is this maturity that boys can't handle."
Every line resonated with many people who watched the movie.
Laughter, warmth, sweetness, everyone unconsciously indulged in it. The story is slowly coming to an end. The people who like each other cannot be together. The story is not perfect, but this kind of regret is youth.
Seeing the end, many sentimental girls couldn't help but have tears in their eyes. Many men sighed in their hearts, thinking of the Shen Jiayi in their hearts, is she okay now?
When the song "Those Years" sounded, and when Liu Fei saw Xiao Fei imagining the groom as Shen Jiayi, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Fei thought of a girl he had a crush on in high school. They had gradually lost touch with each other. Perhaps many years later, when they met again, she might have already married.
The movie slowly ended and Liu Fei stood up.
Thinking about the two blockbusters I watched today, the explosive scenes of "Speed" have become a little impatient. But the story of "Those Years" and the complex feelings of those years are deeply imprinted in my mind.
"nice……"
Liu Fei couldn't help but sigh, it was so good. At this moment, he had the urge to take a car to find his girlfriend and pull his girlfriend to watch the movie together again.
