The premiere of "Titanic" finally ended with applause.
After leaving the cinema, some moviegoers looked up at the sun in the distance, and then looked at the ground beneath their feet...
While the movie was playing, they seemed to be on the Titanic. In addition to feeling the tension of the sea water burying the ship as it swayed with the waves, they also seemed to be able to feel the biting coldness of the sea water.
Then……
After the movie ended and I walked out of the cinema...
Um!
It feels so good to be down to earth, bathed in the warm sunshine.
They let out a long breath.
Late spring, not yet summer.
Some movie fans wiped away their tears and were immersed in the story of "Titanic".
As soon as they close their eyes, their minds are filled with scenes from Titanic...
This is a great movie.
At the same time, this is a touching and extremely beautiful love.
love!
This seems like a very strange term.
When many middle-aged people suddenly think of this word, they suddenly feel a little lost.
Do you believe in love?
In this materialistic world, in this world of "equal status" and "wealthy men and pretty women"...
Love seems to have become cheap.
Everyone is equal, this sentence seems to be a good declaration, but in fact, are everyone equal?
Even if we are from the same country and have the same skin color...
Are all people equal?
No!
There has always been discrimination and contempt between people of different classes...
And love has begun to become a transaction in such a world.
The love in "Titanic" is very simple, but not as stiff as the love in other idol dramas. It is very pure, pure to the point of life and death, pure to the point of giving everything for each other...
Some middle-aged people sighed again.
Then……
I don't know how many couples looked at each other...
"If, I was on that ship, if, I jumped into that sea, if I jumped, would you jump?"
“I can jump!”
“…”
You can always hear this sentence from young lovers, and then you see them hugging each other with emotion, as if they have found love...
as if……
They became Jack and Rose, standing on the deck, feeling the sea breeze and the rolling waves in the distance.
but……
Can they withstand the elements?
neither knows.
The only thing they knew at this moment was that, at least for the moment they left the cinema, they were Jack and Rose.
What the girl asked was true, and what the boy answered was also true.
…
noon.
Fans of "La La Land" also left the theater.
Both Titanic and La La Land are love stories.
but……
But it's different.
"Titanic" is a love story before and after the disaster, while "La La Land" is a romantic story about chasing dreams...
Beautiful to the point of being messy, and hopelessly romantic...
Then, there is a sense of regret that one finally chooses to let go.
The frustrated hero and heroine met in winter, fell in love in summer, and became confused again in autumn...
Eventually, it all started to feel out of place, and eventually…
We are separated...
Five years later, they met again by chance. After the meeting, some things had changed drastically.
The heroine has married and has a happy family, and has also become a household name.
And the male protagonist...
It was still the same male protagonist, playing music in the bar...
When the hero sees the heroine...
The music he played became the music they played when they first met.
At that moment, the montage shot switched to another picture, another world.
Then, in another scene, the male lead rejected the performance, participated in the performance of the female lead, passed the interview with the female lead, and then got married and had children...
Everything is in its best form.
Then……
Reality is reality after all...
This story may seem a bit old-fashioned, but in terms of audio-visual experience, film master Nino has done it to the extreme...
Telling stories with music.
After watching "Titanic", An Xiao went to watch "La La Land".
After reading it, she felt particularly upset.
If "Titanic" gave her the feeling of beauty mixed with greatness, then "La La Land" gave her the feeling of beauty and romance mixed with reality.
She liked both movies, but...
She feels more involved in La La Land...
In fact, she always got on the bus with red eyes.
After getting in the car, her friend and agent remained silent and did not ask anything, nor did she ask where they were going next.
The car was circling aimlessly on the streets of Yanjing...
She looked at the buildings slowly receding outside the car window, and at couples, married couples, and children walking away in her sight...
She thought about the past.
I thought of the scene when the two met that year.
If, at the beginning, she had disregarded everything, then...
Would the story be different?
If she had met him first, would the story be different?
No one answered her...
"Go back."
"Where are you going?"
"Go back to where you came from..."
"oh."
“…”
…
The premiere of the three films came to an end very quickly.
After the curtain falls...
China is in an uproar.
Weibo exploded!
"Titanic is a great movie. It is like our Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, becoming the most unique and beautiful scenery... After watching the movie, I remember every plot and every detail clearly. Perhaps, I will never forget the scene on the deck, under the setting sun, when Jack and Rose embraced each other and expressed their love. I will also never forget the words 'you jump, ijump'. This is the purest love that lasts for life and death... If conditions permit, I hope to go to the cinema to watch it a second time. Unfortunately, conditions do not allow me to buy a second ticket. Sigh... While talking about this movie, I want to talk about the number of screenings in our Huaxia Cinema Line..." Ms. He Yun, a famous Chinese film critic, writer and screenwriter, complained on Weibo after the release of Titanic...
In addition to expressing his admiration for the exquisiteness of "Titanic", he also harshly complained about the nature of the current screening schedule of Chinese cinemas.
She felt that the first reason why she couldn't buy a second ticket for "Titanic" was that the movie was indeed a hit, and the second reason was that China's film scheduling system was really unfair...
Although we cannot say that "Titanic" occupies a large proportion of the screenings, at least it cannot be the same as the amount of screenings of movies like "Anthropocene", right?
"Titanic is indeed a good movie, but I think La La Land is also a good movie. The love in Titanic is so beautiful and pure, but have you ever thought about why it is beautiful? What if Jack didn't die on the ship? In other words, what if the Titanic didn't hit the iceberg? Then, what was waiting for this couple? Yes! What was waiting for them was the reality of class and the naked reality. La La Land obviously filmed another kind of love in another way. I personally think that the love in La La Land is much more realistic than that in Titanic..." Helen, a well-known Hollywood film critic, shook her head and recommended La La Land...
She thinks that "La La Land" is also a classic, a great movie, and its brilliance is unobstructed. At least, its brilliance should not be much inferior to that of "Titanic"!
Her film review instantly went viral on the American Internet and was pinned to the top of the homepage of the American Film Network...
"I don't think La La Land is a realistic love story. On the contrary, I think Titanic is. It is more like a symbol of transcending class. Moreover, even in reality, Jack and Rose cannot be defeated. Although they pursue freedom, they will sacrifice for each other, even at the cost of life and death..."
“I also think Titanic is more…” than La La Land.
“…”
“…”
In the film review circle.
Smoke of war was everywhere.
When two excellent movies of the same type are released on the same day, it is bound to create huge waves!
Even if it’s the same screenwriter, there will always be people comparing…
As evening fell, the entire world's film industry seemed to be filled with two movies at this moment.
A "Titanic" and a "La La Land"...
Everyone expressed their opinions on these two movies about love, romance and regret.
Then, I don’t know when it started, but under the leadership of some of the world’s top film critics, fans of these two movies suddenly started arguing…
Everyone is arguing about what kind of love is true love, everyone is talking about reality and fantasy, and everyone has his or her own understanding.
This moment...
The entire world film industry seems to have only these two movies, with posts, opinions, stories, and characters everywhere...
The king does not see the king...
Even if the premiere is postponed for one day, it can still be regarded as a king not meeting the king...
This is the unspoken rule of the film industry.
But at this moment, the king met the king...
Then……
The air was filled with smoke.
…
There is always a shadow beneath the huge brilliant light.
Some movies have huge traffic, but some movies are born at the wrong time.
Amid the clamor of crazy public opinion...
The Anthropocene is embarrassing.
"Anthropocene" was originally the king!
A strong lineup, huge investment, crazy traffic and publicity...
But……
Maybe it’s because after the two romantic dramas “La La Land” and “Titanic”, everyone ignored “Anthropocene”…
There are surprisingly few mentions of "Anthropocene" in major media, major reports, and even in some short video apps.
Lorraine is indeed an amazing director.
but……
He can't compare to the film master Nino.
"Anthropocene" is indeed a great movie. The details, including the plot of alien invasion, are extremely conscientious. At the same time, the cast is also extremely strong...
but……
In the end, it lost to the sunset of "Titanic" and the night of "La La Land"...
Lost to a different love story that was released on the same day.
Although every show was still packed, no one on the Internet cared about this epic sci-fi movie, and its popularity clearly did not meet their expectations.
Wilson and Lorraine suddenly realized that this was a terrible thing.
Their "Anthropocene" was sandwiched between two movies.
They made a fatal mistake!
They shouldn't be released on the same day as Titanic, or even on the next day.
but……
That's what happened!
Early morning of May 2nd.
The movie box office is yet to be announced.
Wilson and Lorraine looked at each other.
"Mr. Wilson, Titanic and La La Land are probably the phenomenal films born in this era..."
"Mr. Loran, what do you mean?"
“Or, we can temporarily cancel the release and make corrections… wait until the influence of these two films decreases, then we can release them again…”
"Let me think about it..."
"Um."
In the office.
There was silence.
I don't know how long it was before there was a knock on the door.
The assistant pushed the door open excitedly and looked at the two of them with a shocked expression.
"Gentlemen, today's premiere box office is out!"
“…”
“…”
