China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 92 Movie-watching habits need to be cultivated

Ariana held her boyfriend's arm and looked for their seats. Half of the 500-person screening hall was full, and most of the best viewing seats in the middle were filled. His seat happened to be

In the middle, the two people took their seats along the narrow aisle.

The movie hadn't started yet, and there was a buzz of conversation in the screening room.

"I didn't expect there were so many people in this movie?" Her boyfriend David looked around and was surprised.

There are still people entering the theater one after another. By the time the movie starts, it is estimated that more than two-thirds of the hall will be filled.

Ariana was also a little surprised: "It feels like there are more people than in "Shadow of the Wind." She booked her tickets earlier and didn't expect that there would be so many people.

"It's normal. After all, it's an Orlando Gold Award-winning film, and Johnson Chen's "Comet" is so famous. As long as the quality of this movie is not inferior to "Comet," the movie ticket will be worth it." Ariana is a movie fan, especially

She likes thriller, suspense and horror movies, and she also likes "Comet" very much. She is the kind of movie fan who watches it many times just to clarify the relationship between the characters and the story.

"WOW, if it's like "Comet", it would be a nightmare." Her boyfriend David was a little disdainful.

David is also a movie fan, but he prefers Cult movies, and his movie-watching interests partially overlap with his girlfriend's. However, his evaluation of "Comet" was boring, extremely boring.

If his girlfriend hadn't pulled him, he definitely wouldn't have come.

Ariana replied: "That's such a pity. It seems that you will never learn to watch movies with your brain in this life."

"This movie has been shown in more than 700 theaters since its opening. In recent years, few films from other countries and regions have opened in more theaters than "Fatal Identity"."

"I heard that the copyright of this movie was sold for 13 million US dollars? Then the box office must reach at least 30 million US dollars. I feel that more than 700 theaters are a bit small."

"Johnson...said as if he is your boyfriend." David curled his lips.

Wang Zhen, who was interrupted, glanced at his companions dissatisfied: "It's a second shot, and it can also contribute to the box office. Let's make an agreement first. If you all think it's good after watching it, we'll do it again."

Therefore, Wang Zhen is also one of the few international students who has watched "Fatal Identity". In the past two months, he has tried hard not to spoil anything. Of course, most international students go to the domestic Internet, and there are sometimes spoilers from China.

It is also impossible to guard against.

"It's so awkward."

"Look at how strange you are. It's not like you've never seen posters of Chinese movies in cinemas."

Wang Zhen led his companions to find their seats, and seemed a little confident despite the concerns of others: "What's wrong with the 700 pavilions? You see there are so many people, the attendance rate must be good, they will definitely add more pavilions, and there is also a European market

Woolen cloth."

…

David was dissatisfied: "A good movie should attract the audience in the first second. If it makes people feel bored, how can it be a good movie? I really don't know what kind of ecstasy the people in Orlando have been blown about, but they actually do it."

If the award is given to a Chinese director, and he is a young boy who does not look like he has graduated from high school, have the Chinese bought Orlando? The next step may be the Oscars."

Ariana was choked, paused for a second and said: "First of all, it was a Korean director. Secondly, I admit that "Moonlight Night Fantasy" was a bit disappointing to me, but he is just a bit old-fashioned and not what you said.

So boring."

"Don't forget that your favorite film, "The Killing," is the winning film of the Orlando Gold Awards. All previous award-winning films in Orlando are good." Most of Ariana's favorite horror films in recent years are from the Orlando Film Festival.

The film was shortlisted, so she still trusts the Orlando Film Festival.

In a sense, he can be regarded as Chen Jingxing's biggest fan. After hearing that Chen Jingxing's second film was shortlisted for the Orlando Film Festival, he personally went to Orlando to watch "Fatal Identity" at the Orlando Film Festival.

Screening.

"Why is it dubbing?"

"It's actually dubbing?"

When "Comet" first aired on Netflix, Wang Zhen was one of the first international students to pay attention to "Comet" and Chen Jingxing. Not only was he proactive about it, but because he was dissatisfied with the English subtitles provided by Netflix, he and several roommates re-created

The translation was finally adopted by Netflix.

After finally waiting for the movie to be released, Wang Zhen invited his classmates and friends to contribute to the box office.

After the opening credits were over and the movie had just started, Wang Zhen frowned.

Wang Zhen led a dozen of his classmates and friends into the cinema, talking endlessly about news related to the movie as they walked.

The lights suddenly went out, ending the couple's bickering.

A classmate was also a little worried: "Then at least the box office will be decent, and at least the distribution company must recover the cost, otherwise it will be a one-time deal."

"What about "Moonlight Night"? That RB director won the Best Director Award. How boring is this movie? It's like a campus youth movie from ten years ago. Why don't I watch "The Vampire Diaries"?" David found

Counterexample.

Because there are no long holidays in the United States in January and February, most international students will not go home even for the Spring Festival. Even if they go home, they will not have time to watch any movies. Moreover, "Fatal Identity" has already been released during the Spring Festival. If you want to go home at the beginning of the year

I usually have to wait until spring break to go home, usually in mid-March.

Wang Zhen and his classmates complained softly. In the past, domestic movies watched in Chinese cinemas only had English subtitles, and some even had no English subtitles.

David snorted: "This is what I said. The Orlando Film Festival has gone crazy. It actually allowed two Asians to win the award. Ever since the Orlando Film Festival started to please Asians, it has lost its previous flavor." Before.

The Orlando Film Festival is a feast for cult films.

"Have you not seen it? Why are you here again this time?" A companion asked in confusion.

Guo Fan, who was sitting next to Chen Jingxing, was also a little surprised, but he quickly realized it. After all, imported movies released in China are usually watched with original Mandarin subtitles, and the national version is usually for children by default.

Wang Zhen looked at the posters with Chinese faces displayed in the theater and felt a little excited. He took out his mobile phone and took a photo, preparing to post it to a forum mainly composed of Chinese and international students.

Wang Zhen retorted: "They are all in Chinese theaters, showing domestic movies every day. How can it be the same? This is AMC's largest theater in Los Angeles." After that, he sighed: "I hope to see more and more movies.

Domestic movies should appear here."

Ariana didn't want to dwell on it any longer: "Anyway, I believe in Johnson, and his movie won't let me down."

North American audiences are definitely used to watching dubbing.

Ning Hao sighed and said softly: "Actually, dubbing was not done before. From Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to Fearless, most of the shows in North America only had English subtitles."

The other directors were silent.

After all, habits need to be developed.
