The movie "Escape from the Cage" is scheduled for release on Children's Day, while the palace drama starring Song Xinghe is scheduled for the summer vacation after the college entrance examination.
Aside from the press conference on the first day, Song Xia attended a few preview screenings, leaving the rest of the appearances to Director Sui and Zhang Xian.
During the preview screenings, the distributor invited many film critics, including Yinxing, a well-known online critic known for his sharp tongue. Even though he accepted bribes from the distributor, he still didn't hold back in his reviews. However, as long as he praised a movie, it would receive good reviews and box office returns because of the trust moviegoers placed in him.
This puts many distributors in an awkward position. If they invite a ginkgo leaf, they might be criticized relentlessly. But if they don't, it's even worse; netizens will think the production company lacks courage.
Sui Kai was naturally very confident in "Escape from the Cage" and immediately invited people to attend the premiere. After watching the film, Yin Xing was so relieved that she took a long time to recover and excitedly took a photo with Song Xia and Zhang Xian.
After returning home, he began writing a serious film review. He felt that this was one of the few good movies in recent years. Teacher Song Xia and Teacher Zhang Xian were indeed amazing. He had a feeling that Teacher Zhang Xian might win the Best Actor award for this role.
It's a pity that Song Xia wasn't the lead actress, and her character wasn't entirely a positive one; otherwise, her acting skills would have definitely earned her a Best Actress award.
Song Yinghou's return to acting after many years has given him such a big surprise! He must tell all his fans about this surprise.
So at 10 p.m. that night, the film review of "Escape from the Cage" was successfully published. Many of his old fans were incredulous when they saw it. Could it be that Yin Xing finally couldn't resist the temptation and accepted money?
[A ginkgo leaf, tell us honestly, have you been bribed? You weren't like this before!]
In an era of declining film and television production, it's amazing that such a high-quality film still exists! (A comment from a fan: "If you're short of money, just say so. We longtime fans won't blame you.")
Since you're so sure, I'll go watch it. If it's not good, I'll unfollow you.
[Same here. If you don't like it, you'll unfollow me. You're the only person I trust in the film and television industry.]
There were many similar comments, but Ginkgo remained unfazed, arrogantly replying: "If you don't like it, feel free to come back and unfollow me."
His assurance piqued the interest of netizens. After all, it was only thirty yuan a ticket, and with discounted apps or movie theaters, it could be as low as ten or twenty yuan. Who wouldn't want to spend that little bit of money?
Especially after the preview screenings, most of the netizens and film critics who saw them gave positive reviews, and the rating on a certain software was even above 9.2, which almost confirms that this is a rare good film.
With few good films available recently, and given the high level of interest, some cinemas have allocated over 30% of their screenings to the movie. Many people are taking their boyfriends or girlfriends to the cinemas, while parents who are spending Children's Day with their children have to wait, since it was stated at the time of release that the film is not suitable for children.
Tong Yu is a shut-in. Because he has been lazy since childhood, he has been eating, drinking and waiting to die at home after graduating from university. His parents have regular jobs, his grandparents have pensions, and the family owns several properties. They don't expect him to make money at all. They all think it's good for him to stay at home and keep the adults company. They don't think he is decadent or unambitious at all.
The only worry is that Tong Yu doesn't like socializing or exercising, so much so that his family is afraid he'll get sick from staying at home all the time. Their strict requirements for him are to go to bed on time, eat on time, have regular check-ups, and go out for activities on time.
Because Tong Yu has no social life and therefore no friends, this activity is usually a family affair. So when they heard that Tong Yu had taken the initiative to go out to see a movie today, the whole family agreed.
Tong Yuzhen felt very fortunate; he thought it would be hard to find such open-minded parents in the world!
He had bought the tickets online long ago. People waiting at the cinema looked at the family with curiosity for a few moments. The family had such a nice atmosphere!
Upon entering the screening room, the grandparents were actually rather uninterested. They had agreed to come only to spend time with their grandson. They usually preferred to go to the park to listen to traditional operas and the like. They didn't understand many of these movies and TV series. They had seen other ones before, but they were all quite boring, and they didn't understand what the people in them were laughing about.
They thought today would be the same, but the movie started off without any preamble, drawing them into the plot with one mystery after another, and one thrilling scene after another made them gasp in surprise.
Seeing the ending of the movie, which revealed that the protagonist's mother had orchestrated everything and even committed suicide to cover it up so that her son would be completely safe from danger, left me with a complex mix of emotions.
However, if their Xiaoyu were in that situation, they would definitely do the same, but they might not be as smart as the mother in the show. How could they not love their own child?
Everyone says they spoiled Xiaoyu, but Xiaoyu doesn't steal or rob; he just wants to live a comfortable life. What's wrong with that? Xiaoyu doesn't have high consumption habits or love luxury. With their family's financial situation, they can easily support their child for a lifetime.
However, Tong Yu had a different feeling after leaving the movie theater. The movie was wonderful, and the maternal love was very touching. Although her grandparents and parents never forced her to do anything, were they worried about living alone after they passed away?
Perhaps he could try to make some changes, contact his former classmates more, participate in more social activities, and make some new friends.
"You want to volunteer?" The next day, when Tong Yu's family learned of his plan, they all gave their support.
"Good, good, it's good that you've figured it out."
"Is this your first time volunteering? Do you want Mom to come with you?"
"No need." Seeing their attitude, Tong Yu knew that his guess was right, and refused their company. He also mentioned his plans for the future, "I have made plans to go hiking with my old high school classmates this weekend. I've decided to go out and see more of the world."
Tong Yu's family suddenly realized that their son's determination to change was probably due to watching that movie. They never expected that a movie could change a person, but that movie was indeed well-made.
To express their gratitude for the film, Tong Yu's parents and grandparents all recommended it to their colleagues, neighbors, relatives, and friends.
However, people like Tong Yu are a very small minority. Most viewers just think it's a very good movie and don't have a life-changing plan like him. It's not just a suspenseful survival film; the mother-son relationship in it is also very touching.
At this time, Tong Yu's family was unaware of the changes this film would bring to their family. Soon after, when Tong Yu brought home a kind and athletic girl, the whole family became loyal fans of Song Xia and Zhang Xian, and would watch their movies repeatedly.
