Shuntianfu Minghu No.1 Cinema.

The time is 11:30 p.m. In common sense, at this time, the flow of people in the cinema has been relatively small. But at this moment in the Minghu No. 1 Cinema, it was a crowded scene.

Zhou Yuzhu and his best friend, Chen Ziwei, are now huddled in the crowd.

They are waiting for the midnight show “Avatar” which starts at 00:25.

On Monday, June 10, “Avatar” held a grand world premiere in Los Angeles, USA, and announced that the film will be officially released worldwide at 0:00 on June 14.

As a generation of people who grew up listening to Li Qian’s songs and watching Li Qian’s movies, Zhou Yuzhu and Chen Ziwei may not be Li Qian’s loyal fans, but the young Chinese who have grown up over the years have hardly any People are not influenced by Li Qian at all, especially for movie fans like Zhou Yuzhu and Chen Ziwei, the movie viewing experience in recent years can be summed up as the best movies in China are often those of the leader Li Qian. Secondly, Li Qian is the producer and supervisor, that is, the products produced by Minghu Culture, and the best in Hollywood movies, and then there are the inferior products in Hollywood movies, and other domestic movies.

So, maybe there is a new Hollywood movie in the cinema, and they still have to hesitate to read the word of mouth before buying a ticket, but as long as it is directed and starred by Li Qian, it is something they should watch without hesitation. Now that Li Qian’s new movie is about to be released, of course, as long as there is a chance, he will try his best to grab the first ticket.

In a sense, they are not fans of Li Qian, but they are die-hard fans of “Li Qian’s quality”!

What’s more, after the premiere ceremony, the word of mouth about the movie in the United States has already come out, and it was quickly reprinted by the greats on domestic forums – almost every comment published is about this movie. The movie viewing experience gives exaggerated words such as “shock”, “shock”, “worship” and so on.

In other words, this movie can already be understood as “conquering North America”! This status, in the understanding of Chinese audiences, should be on the same level as “The Matrix”!

Of course it is a must-see level!

Although tomorrow is Friday and they still have to go to work, the two little girlfriends booked tickets online in advance as soon as they discussed it, and decided to run over to watch the early midnight show of “Avatar”.

Of course, the two sisters have just started working for a short time, and their income is only about a thousand yuan a month, so when the online tickets started to appear, I looked at the 3D and 3D-IMAX ticket prices and was responsible for Zhou Yuzhu, who booked the tickets, hesitated for half a minute, and then, the two kinds of tickets could not be booked.

Because in the Chinese film market, in addition to the three cinema chains under Minghu Culture, which provide 3D and 3D-IMAX versions for viewing, there are only two other large-scale cinema chains. Because they signed a gambling agreement with Minghu Culture, so In the first half of the year, a total of six or seven theaters were renovated. In addition, there are no more professional cinemas in this area.

In Shuntianfu, although the three cinema chains under Minghu Culture have deployed more than 20 cinemas, and almost every one of them has at least one 3D cinema, and the other two cinema chains have also arranged six cinemas There are 60 or 70 screening halls together. But how many advance 3D and 3D-IMAX movie tickets can these theaters provide?

Only five or six thousand.

You know, Shuntianfu is one of the largest box office markets in the Chinese film market! There are also the most concentrated Li Qian fans here, including fans, fans, leg fans, and face fans.

Five or six thousand 3D and 3D-IMAX movie tickets were released in advance, and the time was in the early morning of Thursday night and Friday, and I had to go to work tomorrow, but they were sold out on the Internet in eleven seconds!

Both Zhou Yuzhu and Chen Ziwei have subscribed to Li Qian’s blog, read his popular science articles on the blog, and know that their idols are sparing no effort to promote it, and hope that everyone will try to watch the 3D-IMAX version, and they also say “3D-IMAX version” It is the real “Avatar””, and whether it is the early publicity of the film in China or the movie viewing comments that have been spontaneously reprinted from the American Internet by fans on the Internet in the past few days, they all reacted almost completely. 3D-IMAX The viewing of the version of “Avatar” is “absolutely shocking”!

However, as soon as the little sisters discussed, the tickets for 3D and 3D-IMAX are so expensive, so if you don’t buy them, you can’t buy them! Anyway, buying ordinary tickets is a victory!

3D sounds amazing, all kinds of “shocks”, Li Qian has never recommended anything purely commercial, he solemnly recommends, it must be a good thing, but… Movies, just watching stories, in the past everyone Watching Li Qian’s movies, there was no such thing as 3D at that time, wouldn’t it be just as good-looking?

So, here it is!

…

It started at 11:55, and the check-in began at midnight.

As a theater chain of Minghu Culture, and it is still a leader, the copies in the hands of Minghu No. 1 Cinema are of course extremely abundant. Even according to the company’s current arrangements, from the date of the release of “Avatar”, the three cinema chains under Minghu Culture will be completely transferred to the “Avatar Mode”, that is, all other films will stop showing, and all movie theaters will be closed. Show “Avatar” instead.

Therefore, in fact, not only the Minghu No. 1 Cinema in Shuntianfu, but at this moment, all the cinemas under Minghu Culture across the country have guaranteed sufficient copies, and all the pre-shows are on full blast, every five minutes. The opening scene, every scene is “Avatar”.

After midnight, at 00:18, it was finally Zhou Yuzhu and Chen Ziwei’s turn to enter.

Checking tickets, getting in, and passing by other theaters, I was a little surprised to see a very strange glasses that the other audience members were holding and playing with.

Find a seat and sit down.

Many viewers were a bit like Zhou Yuzhu, Chen Ziwei and the others. Even though it was already midnight, they couldn’t help chatting in a low voice with a little excitement.

Some people are saying that the movie has a great reputation at the premiere ceremony, some people are saying that Li Qian’s films never disappoint, and some people regret not being able to buy 3D-IMAX tickets.

00:25, the movie starts.

…

The beginning of the movie is very simple.

The explanation and origin of the story are not sloppy in the slightest.

In the future world, technology is extremely developed, but resources are exhausted and the environment is deteriorating, so humans begin to march to the outer planets. This is the usual setting of Hollywood sci-fi movies, but it is nothing new.

The protagonist’s twin brother, a scientist who has been involved in the colonization and mining of foreign planets, tragically died in a robbery three days before embarking on the journey.

And the male protagonist, a former U.S. Marine who was paralyzed in both legs due to injury, was chosen as his replacement because his genes were 99.9% similar to his older brother. Journey of the planet.

The whole beginning, about a minute, the male protagonist has appeared in the weightless space capsule.

Then, the vast universe, the wonders of the distant planets appeared.

Even if it was just the ordinary version, when the movie came to this scene, Zhou Yuzhu and Chen Ziwei, including most of the audience in the entire theater, were still shocked by such a grand scene.

There was a burst of amazement in the entire cinema hall.

The foreshadowing of the whole story unfolded in such amazement, without any traces of the unfolding – the comparison of the size of mining vehicles and ordinary vehicles and the human body, the project with colorful bows and arrows passing by on the tarmac The car, the setting about the difference in the air so you will die quickly if you leave the mask, and the Colonel’s various exaggerated-sounding descriptions of the planet Pandora in the orientation speech, and so on.

Then, the story unfolded.

A whole new planet.

A whole new ecosystem, from plants, to animals, to native people, and each one is almost beautiful.

The appearance of the female scientist played by Bai Yujing caused a small commotion in the movie hall, but it soon returned to calm – everyone could easily perceive the conflict between the Earth Mining Group and the local indigenous people.

Then, the hero’s Avatar debuted.

A crisis and escape left him alone in the wild environment of this strange planet and lost all protection. At this time, his identity as a former Marine began to come into play.

And as the male protagonist was brought into the tribe by the female protagonist, and because of his status as a “front pot cover tribe warrior”, he obtained the special treatment of communicating with the other party and learning the other party’s survival skills. The whole story completely unfolded— All kinds of fresh and gorgeous world environments, all kinds of novel and interesting settings, one after another, unfolding like this slowly, attracting almost all the audience in the entire auditorium to be immersed in the story, so that the entire auditorium is immersed in the story. There is hardly any noise inside.

Only when he reached some key places, such as when the male protagonist finally tamed his mount and flew in the sky with this big bird, the feeling of flying freely made many audiences in the screening hall subconsciously satisfied. sighed.

Even if there is no 3D, the special effects of this movie are definitely the top in the world right now, and even in the next few years, it will also be top.

Because its story and its pictures are carefully crafted, it is the most suitable “landscape sightseeing film” to develop such a beautiful and atmospheric picture.

And its story itself, whether it is the version of James Cameron in another time and space, or the version of Li Qian in this time and space, is undoubtedly a story that is not new in nature, but the story is complete and full of branches and leaves. Stretch, and many settings are also very fresh and interesting good stories.

A good story, coupled with a good way of telling, coupled with the delicate and realistic movie special effects supported by advanced film technology that is completely “believable”, all of these have formed the super strong “Avatar”. Movie viewing experience.

It can be said without a doubt that this is definitely the pinnacle of global commercial film to date.

As a result, including Zhou Yuzhu and Chen Ziwei, the audience in the entire theater was fascinated.

The hero’s betrayal, the “big tree” where the heroine and her tribe lived for generations were directly destroyed by the earth’s guns, and the sky was filled with smoke – at this moment, the hearts of countless audiences were clenched.

On the one hand, the people of his hometown Earth, in order to survive and develop, had to destroy and plunder the outside world in such a savage way, on the other hand, he had already felt the primitive beauty of the place, and the scene that had completely immersed him. emotion.

He has already begun to like the life of being an “Avatar”, and he has a very good understanding of the greed of human beings on earth, and everything he has experienced makes him disagree with the development ideas of human beings on earth.

So, he decided to do everything he could to help the locals and fight against his mother earth.

In order to increase his own right to speak, the hero who became the hero of “Toru Komakto” returned to the tribe where he was offering sacrifices and prayers. With a brand-new legendary status and a high-spirited speech, he quickly won the The trust of the tribesmen, and thus, a great battle between the native natives and the invading humans began.

…

When the movie finally ended, almost everyone in the entire screening hall had an unusually satisfied feeling on their faces-Minghu No. 1 Cinema is elegantly decorated, equipped with advanced equipment and has an excellent viewing experience, so this cinema Tickets have never been cheap, but at this moment, after watching this “Avatar”, almost everyone sighed and sighed sincerely in their hearts: It’s worth it!

The story of the whole movie is good-looking, the pictures are exquisite, and there is an indescribable feeling of majesty. There is no such concept as “not worse than Hollywood blockbusters”. At the time of “The Matrix”, everyone already Everyone thinks that Li Qian’s science fiction movies are “world-class”, and now, after watching “Avatar”, countless fans have subconsciously commented – such a film, Hollywood is afraid that it will not be able to make it! Li Qian is already at least one or two positions ahead of Hollywood!

Everyone let out a sigh of satisfaction. It was already the second half of the night, but there was no sleepiness collectively. When the headlights of the projection hall turned on, everyone stood up reluctantly and discussed with each other excitedly.

Zhou Yuzhu and Chen Ziwei also stood up with the crowd and walked out one after another.

Occasionally, when they turned around, the two looked at each other with an expression of emotion and satisfaction. You said, “It’s so beautiful!” She subconsciously replied, “Yeah, it’s so beautiful!”

At this time, many people in the crowd were already discussing, “Let’s see another show tomorrow!”, “I haven’t seen enough! I want to see it again!” Such topics.

Zhou Yuzhu and Chen Ziwei were also a little moved.

And by this time, they have fully realized how good this movie is, and before they know it, they can’t help but think, “I don’t know if it is a 3D, or a 3D-IMAX version, it will be better than this ordinary version. Is it better looking? Where exactly is it good-looking? How much is it good-looking? What kind of three-dimensional method of three-dimensional viewing is?” – Once this kind of thought arises in my heart, it is almost irresistible.

But tomorrow is Friday, and I have to go to work!

The two of them were thinking about each other in their hearts, but they didn’t say anything. They just walked out of the theater along the flow of people while listening to the cheerful discussions of the people around them.

Their routine for watching movies, girls, don’t be in a hurry to go out after watching, the first thing is to go to the bathroom first—as a result, at midnight, there are actually a lot of people waiting in line in the bathroom!

Of course, when a girl is going to the bathroom or standing in line, a boy is waiting for her.

Therefore, despite the large size of the bathroom, such a concentrated flow of people still seems a bit overcrowded.

No way, the two girls had to line up behind.

At this time, I heard a few people in the front line discussing excitedly there – they and they should be the audience of the scene that ended early.

And what they are discussing and exclaiming is the “3D-IMAX” that Zhou Yuzhu and Chen Ziwei are more concerned about and curious about at this time. So, the two girls subconsciously stopped their conversation and listened carefully—

“I’m convinced, it’s so good to see it explode!”

“Me too, I’ve been watching movies for seven or eight years now, and I’ve only seen such a cool movie! This 3D is so awesome, I must come and watch it again tomorrow! I’m also watching 3D!”

“I have seen all the previous films of the leader, and this film is indeed his best work, but to say the best, I don’t think it is, but the 3D technology is too good! It feels really good. It’s like being in it, especially the part where the male protagonist is sitting on the bird flying, and the spaceship behind him, that feeling, **** it, it’s really cool!”

“I now think that the teacher’s words are right. To watch this “Avatar”, you must watch the 3D version. It is best to watch the 3D-IMAX giant screen version, otherwise you will not be able to fully appreciate its beauty!”

“Yeah, originally I thought this ticket was too expensive, 60 yuan a piece, no discount, but now, I think it’s worth it! The ordinary ticket is still 20 yuan! I just don’t know the ordinary 3D ticket that costs 40 yuan a piece. How’s your experience! But I think, you get what you pay for, it’s definitely not as good as the version we watched!”

“Expensive things have only the disadvantage of being expensive, and cheap things have only the advantage of being cheap!”

“Fuck, you are so philosophical, brother!”

…

Hearing this, Chen Ziwei couldn’t help turning her head to look at her little friend.

Coincidentally, Zhou Yuzhu was also turning his head to look over.

At this moment, someone in line behind Zhou Yuzhu and the others couldn’t help but ask, “Hey, buddy, is 3D really that good-looking?”

The people in front turned their heads, all of them were full of excitement, and one of them said, “Of course! I won’t lie to you! Just do what the sect leader said, and you won’t suffer any loss! Look at the giant screen version of 3D-IMAX and tell you, it’s so cool!”

Another person replied: “Don’t worry about money, this kind of film may not appear again in the next few years, and it depends on whether the leader is willing to continue making such films!”

Another person smiled and said, “It’s no longer a question of whether you care about money or not. I estimate that all 3D tickets tomorrow will be hard to find! With money, you can’t buy tickets!”

Chen Ziwei couldn’t help but turn her head and glance at Zhou Yuzhu.

Zhou Yuzhu whispered, “I should be able to ask for leave tomorrow!”

Chen Ziwei thought for a while and said, “I can… OK?”

***

I’m home!

The countdown begins…
