"What to watch during this National Day? Don't miss "The Dawns Here Are Quiet"..."
"Mr. Cao Desheng, Chairman of the China Film Association, wrote an article praising "The Dawns Here Are Quiet": Although dawn has arrived, the murderous intent is endless and the danger is approaching."
"Why did a country as powerful as the Soviet Union choose to disintegrate? Please tune in to CCTV's Science and Education Channel's "History Decoded" at the same time tomorrow..."
"'The Dawns Here Are Quiet' is so popular that seven other films have changed their release dates and dare not compete with it..."
"Experts boldly predict that the box office of "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" may reach 10 billion!"
Amidst overwhelming publicity, "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" was officially released on National Day.
…
Luo Bao made use of his rich experience as a gang leader in high school, and when he entered college, he successfully ran for class monitor.
So during the National Day, the newly appointed squad leader Luo organized the first class team-building activity - a group viewing of "The Dawns Here Are Quiet".
"The Dawns Here Are Quiet" was originally the top candidate for this year's National Day. During this period, various media have been promoting it enthusiastically. The premiere received unanimous praise. Many students in the class are very interested in it. Therefore, Luo Bao's proposal received enthusiastic support from the whole class.
Except for one person——
"You guys go ahead. I won't go." The white boy with a high nose and deep eyes picked up the mineral water, stood up and prepared to leave the classroom.
"Hey! Alan! Wait a minute!"
Luo Bao stretched out his arm to stop him, "Everyone wants to go, you should come with us, just go out for fun."
Allen shrugged and answered in fluent Chinese: "I have no interest in historical films."
Luo Bao immediately became a tap water and enthusiastically recommended the film: "I was not interested in historical films and TV series before, but Director Shi Jing's works are different! Director Shi's works are magnificent and full of humanistic care. I cried many times while watching them. They are super good, I'm not kidding."
"Besides, 'The Dawns Here Are Quiet' is a European historical film, so there shouldn't be any cultural barrier between you and it."
Alan was embarrassed: "But I'm really not interested..."
Luo Bao: "It's my treat! Pack some snacks!"
"I'm suddenly interested! But..."
Luo Bao didn't have time to be happy, and then he was worried because of this: "But?"
"But you are wrong. Russia does not belong to us in Europe. It belongs to you in Asia." Allen said seriously: "We have learned in history class that in the ancient Earth period, 3/4 of Russia's territory was in Asia, so it is an Asian country."
Luo Bao: "? Russia's capital, Moscow, is in Europe, so it should be a European country!"
Neither of them could convince the other, so they could only put aside their dispute, seek common ground while reserving differences, and go to the movies together.
To be honest, Allen was not interested in The Dawns Here Are Quite. First of all, the name is strange. Isn't it about Russian history? Why is it called an art film? Allen's taste has been spoiled by commercial blockbusters. Art films are like hypnotic drugs to him.
And, most importantly, how good can a Russian film made by a Chinese be? He is not discriminating against Chinese people, it is just that this combination sounds unreliable. Just like if a European were to make a Chinese historical film, it would also sound unreliable.
Only people of the same nation can understand the people and history of their own nation, and can produce works that can resonate with the emotions of the people of their own nation.
So Allen didn't have high expectations for this movie.
As he put on the virtual helmet, he was still thinking: after all, his classmates invited him to watch it, so even if it wasn't good, he would pick out a few advantages and talk about them later.
However, two hours later.
"FUCK! WTF! Amazing! Awesome!" Allen walked out of the cinema with red and swollen eyes, speaking incoherently, mixing Chinese and English: "Oh— my! Shi Jing is awesome! The actors are awesome! "The Dawns Here Are Quite" is awesome! I LOVE IT!!!"
Although he is a foreigner, the virtual helmet he uses for watching movies has a built-in translator for simultaneous translation, so Alan can easily understand the plot, and then he really enjoys it.
Luo Baoyu proudly raised his head and said, "I'm not lying to you, it's really beautiful!"
Allen cried: "It's great! Such an excellent Soviet film was not made by Russians, but by Chinese people! It's really inconceivable! Amzaing!!!"
Luo Bao: "Yes, yes! Shi Jing is such an incredible man!"
Allen: "I'm going to recommend this movie to all my friends!"
Luo Bao: "Okay, okay!"
Alan immediately took action and started to make a call. As soon as the call was connected, he couldn't wait to say in English: "John, I recommend a movie to you! "The Dawns Here Are Quite"! It's a Russian historical film made in China! It's a must-see movie this year!"
"What? The cinema doesn't have it. Oh, yes, this is a new movie from China. It hasn't been shown in Europe yet." Allen looked at Luo Bao anxiously and asked in Chinese, "When will The Dawns Here Are Quite be shown in Europe?"
Luo Bao scratched his cheek, thought for a moment, and said uncertainly: "It's already October, so the earliest we can do it is next year, right?"
"OH—NO!" Allen covered his face and screamed in despair. "Why!!! Why didn't Europe introduce such a good movie at the same time?! What are European movie theaters thinking?! Are they all idiots!"
Luo Bao shrugged his shoulders and said he could do nothing to help.
Alan sighed deeply, then cheered up and said to his friend on the phone, "I'm sorry, this movie won't be released in Europe for the time being. This movie is really great, the kind of excellence that can't be described in words, you know? When it's released, you must go and see it! You will regret it for the rest of your life if you miss it!"
This phone call was just the beginning. Allen then switched to more than a dozen languages including English, French, Esperanto, Italian, Spanish, etc. to recommend the movie to his relatives and friends. At the end of the call, he said with great regret that the movie had not been released in Europe yet. He proudly said: "I may be the first European to see this movie!"
He responded with “What the fuck” and “Son of the bitch” in numerous different languages.
Luo Bao was amazed at his outstanding language talent and had to hold back his laughter in great pain.
Putting down his phone, Alan turned around and rushed into the cinema again.
"? What are you going to do?"
Alan said without even turning his head: "I didn't understand some of the plots. I'm going to go watch it again!"
"Hey! Wait for me! Let's go and see it together!"
…
On October 2nd, Zhang Yanfang woke up at seven o'clock.
Wait a little longer, and the data calculation company will be able to calculate the first day box office.
Although she only played a small supporting role with less than a minute of screen time, she was still concerned about the box office of "The Dawns Here Are Quiet".
This is a good movie, a great masterpiece, and she hopes that the movie will be liked by the audience.
Although she is confident in the quality of the film, she still can't help but worry about the box office.
There are many movies in history that were critically acclaimed but not commercially successful, and she was worried that "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" would be the same.
At half past eight, Le Jing finally called.
Zhang Yanfang couldn't wait to ask, "How much?"
After a long second of silence, the young man's smiling voice sounded slowly: "Four hundred million."
Zhang Yanfang took a deep breath and felt dizzy as if her wish had been fulfilled.
This data is better than expected!
Thinking of the hardships that the young man had gone through, she couldn't help but tear up, "That's great, we have the audience's real money support, the Ark Award, we don't care about it!"
…
Today is National Day. The whole of China is going crazy for a movie. Two Russian songs are being sung in the streets and alleys:
"We sang it when we conquered the Winter Palace in 2017, and sang it when we marched into Berlin in 1945. Russia stood up, united as one, and has gone through many years of wind and rain and hardships. If one day, the motherland calls us, we will rise up for the motherland and throw ourselves into the sacred war..."
"The light of dawn illuminates your loyalty, and the dawn moment writes the chapter of the motherland. The dawn here is quiet, with layers of mist lingering like bandages, and the lake reflects the blood-red glow..."
"Farewell to the Slavic Woman" and "The Dawns Here Are Quiet", these two traditional Soviet songs defeated a number of pop songs and became China's annual hits.
On the spaceship, on the streets, in the company, in the apartment, the music of these two songs was everywhere.
Such widespread popularity is not only driven by the popularity of the movie, but also because these two songs can be downloaded for free on music software.
Within three days of the music software’s release, the number of downloads had reached a staggering five million, making it the number one and number two popular app on the site.
Unlike other paid music, "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" and "Farewell to the Slavic Woman" are free to download and play. Such conscientious behavior has also attracted a lot of doubts while winning the audience's reputation.
A reporter interviewed Le Jing, "Many musicians believe that the free download of "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" and "Farewell to the Slavic Woman" on music software is not conducive to copyright protection and is a moral kidnapping of other paid music. What do you think of this statement?"
Le Jing adjusted his cuffs slowly and said with a half-smile, "I am happy to do so. What does it have to do with you?"
After saying this, he walked away, leaving the reporters stunned.
Afterwards, Le Jing mentioned this incident when he was a guest on a talk show, and then explained seriously: "I am not the original author of the song, I am just a porter. "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" and "Farewell to Slavic Women" are Soviet songs from the ancient Earth period. The copyright protection period has expired, which means that this song belongs to the spiritual wealth of all mankind and should be shared for free."
"So this is ancient Earth music?" The host asked in surprise, "Where did you find these two pieces of music?"
The Zerg Queen stared at the light computer screen, gazing at the young man who was talking eloquently, her smile becoming sweeter and she whispered silently: "Yes, how did you know these two songs?"
The young man showed a sincere smile to the camera and said sincerely: "I have some Zerg friends."
The queen's smile grew wider and wider, and her voice became softer and softer, "My friend..."
"My children seem to have been led astray by humans..."
