There was no premiere, no media events, no red carpet, and "Lilac" had no more means to attract the audience, so it was released.
Of course, compared to other films directed by newcomers, Wang Yifan’s starting point is actually quite high. At least, he got a good set of films. For the newcomers, at least "Lilac" has the fame of two songs. At least Zhang Zirong helped wave the flag and shout.
Although this time period is not a popular schedule, it is also good, that is, no blockbuster movies are released in the same period.
In Beijing, Kyushu Studios, crowds come in and out.
With China’s economic take-off, the film and television industry is also in a period of rapid development, and the upper limit of the film box office is getting higher and higher. With this, countless hot money has poured into the film and television industry, and the number of theaters has been maintaining a very high level. The trend is rapidly increasing. Similarly, people’s wallets are getting thicker and watching movies was a luxury in the past, but now it has become the most common consumer choice for more and more people.
Wang Fei plans to go to the movies with his girlfriend Chen Juan today.
Couples at their age account for a very high proportion of people coming and going in movie theaters, and they can be regarded as one of the important groups for watching movies.
Watching a movie is just the basic operation of a date for two people, and this time is no exception. They don't have any clear goals. They usually choose only when they go to the theater.
Scanning the posters around the theater, Wang Fei pointed to the largest sea report in the theater: "Let’s watch "Flying Dragon Battleship" today. I have seen the trailer and the special effects are very good. Moreover, the director is Chen Hang. All films are pretty reliable..."
"Flying Dragon Battleship" is a science fiction film shot by the famous Chinese director Chen Hang. It has been in theaters for more than two weeks. It has accumulated more than 800 million Chinese dollars at the box office. Although it is not a big hit, it can be regarded as a relatively hot one recently. The video is out.
"I don't want to watch it. It's boring to call." Chen Juan didn't have much interest in this kind of film.
Chen Juan looked at the posters in the same way, and suddenly her eyes were attracted by one of the posters.
On the poster is the heroine Lilac played by Chen Xuebing, lying among the lilac flowers, smiling face to face with Wang Yifan.
Chen Juan suddenly said: "How do we watch "Lilac Flower"? The song is so good, the movie shouldn't be bad, right?"
"Isn't this a movie written and directed by the singer of "Lilac Flower"? Singing and making a movie are completely different things. I guess it's a bad movie." Wang Fei said with disapproval.
"Look, see, I really want to know the story behind the song "Lilac", and it's not mentioned above. This film also won the Audience Choice Award at the Beichuan Film Festival. Surely it wouldn't be too bad, right?" Chen Juan shook her boyfriend's arm coquettishly.
"There is no big-picture movie for a small-cost movie." Wang Fei usually doesn't choose the right movie when he sees it. Well, he only watches big-picture movies and only watches from well-known directors. He really has no love for small-cost movies.
"I don't care, I'm going to watch this." Chen Juan looked at Wang Fei with ugly eyes.
Wang Fei's desire to survive is still very strong, and he decisively compromises. At this time, he is fighting against the female ticket. He doesn't want to spend more time coaxing it back.
Soon, it was Wang Fei's turn to buy tickets. Wang Fei just listened to them. Most people bought "Flying Dragon Battleship" and another "Swordsman Warriors". These two movies are relatively hot in this schedule. And "Lilac" was also bought, but not a lot.
No way, compared to the big production of "Flying Dragon Battleship", which is an investment unit of 100 million, and "Swordsman Warriors", although it is a little worse, it is also a movie that costs tens of millions. If not, "Lilac" There is a little popularity of the song, I am afraid that not many people know that such a movie is released.
After buying the tickets, the two waited in the rest area. After a while, when it was almost time, the two began to check the tickets.
After entering the theater, Wang Fei was a little surprised to find that there were a lot of people, except for the first few rows, which were basically full.
And most of them, like Wang Fei, came from a couple.
In fact, this schedule still has certain benefits. For example, at the same schedule, there is only one romance film "Lilac", and the rest are science fiction and martial arts action films.
Therefore, it is not surprising that lovers choose "Lilac" when watching movies.
The movie has not yet started, and Wang Fei is also a couple next door.
The movie is being discussed at this time.
The man said, "I really don’t understand. At this small cost, what is there to see in a movie made by a new director. I have heard of actors who work as directors, but I have never heard of singers making movies. of."
The woman said: "The Lilac Flower is so good, and a friend of mine has been to the Beichuan Film Festival to see this film. She said she cried when she watched it. It was very touching."
The man disdainfully said: "I'm even more sure that this is a bad film. Your friend must feel that he has been tortured and wants you to be tortured again."
"What are you talking about?" The woman's voice became a little higher.
"Ha, kidding, since it was recommended by your friend, didn't I come with you to see it?" The man yelled at once.
"Huh, don't cry if you have the ability." The woman said with dissatisfaction.
"I'm kidding? I can cry? To tell the truth, the movie that allows me to cry hasn't appeared yet." The man said disapprovingly.
"Don't make a noise, the movie will begin soon." The woman said.
At this time, the theater lights went dark.
The movie starts playing.
"Lilac" is not the kind of movie that catches the audience's attention from the beginning.
Therefore, after watching for a while, that is the background introduction of the actor Shi Lei, Wang Fei felt that he did not expect it.
However, I saw Chen Juan watching with gusto.
Wang Fei couldn't help lamenting in his heart, woman!
It's finally time for the first song. The song "Legend" is still very flavorful.
"This song is not bad, right?" Chen Juan turned around and asked.
"Well, it's okay, but the movie is average." Wang Fei said.
Wang Fei still feels that the movie is not good. In fact, the movie is not that bad, but Wang Fei is preconceived, so he subconsciously looks at this movie with a critical eye.
Especially when Shi Lei actually agreed to approve her plan for Dingxiang, Wang Fei couldn't help but vomit: "Oh, naive!"
As a result, female ticket Chen Juan glared at her!
"Lilac" is not the kind of movie with ups and downs. It can be said that the previous parts are all relatively plain ones.
Therefore, although Wang Fei was watching it, he felt that there was nothing outstanding except for the good song.
The plot comes to a remote mountain village for the first time.
The exposure of Dingxiang's identity made Wang Fei a little interested, and he felt that it was not too bad at first.
Then there is the beautiful picture of the lilac flower hillside, and the warm interaction between Shi Lei and Lilac. The female audience watching this kind of film and the male audience have completely two feelings.
For example, Chen Juan looked at this scene and felt so sweet and romantic, but Wang Fei pouted. The picture is good, but the plot is still very flat.
