"Death Row" and "Twelve Monkeys" were screened on December 15th, which became the focus of everyone's attention.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is just a simple screening, but in the eyes of insiders, there is still a difference even if it is shown on the same day in three theaters.

"Twelve Monkeys" selected three theaters in the prosperous area of ​​Los Angeles, the second largest theater in North America. These three theaters provided 25 screens for screening, in other words, at the same time. Duan has twenty-five theaters that can play this work, and naturally more audiences can be accommodated.

"Death Convict Walk" chose the leading company of North American Art Theaters. The landmark theaters (landmark) are located in the University City, Burbank and Beverly Hills. These three theaters provide twelve screens for the performance. show.

This is also determined by the attributes of the two movies. "Twelve Monkeys" aimed at the box office, and "Death Row" aimed at the art theater. Compared with mainstream commercial theaters, most art theaters are located in cities where yuppies and baby boomers gather, or college students, because the most loyal audiences of art movies live here, and the level of education is relatively higher.

This subtle difference also shows that, in fact, "Death Row" and "Twelve Monkeys" seem to have the same starting line, but in essence, they are still different.

Keira Cole got up when the sky was still grey and hurried to the landmark theater in Burbank, but when she arrived at the scene, she saw the terrifying long queue in front of her, and she couldn't help but take pictures with regret. Slap your head. Last night Joshua Cranston told her that it is best to come and line up one night in advance, otherwise it is very likely that you will not be able to get the first time movie tickets today.

Kayla is disapproving of Joshua’s fuss. She is a person who has been at the Sundance Film Festival all the year round. She knows clearly that even with the effects of "Pulp Fiction" and Hugo, independent films want to arouse in the United States. More attention is still a long way away. Therefore, even if the "Death Convict Walk" has gained momentum recently, there will not be too many viewers who walk directly into the cinema to watch—not to mention that they walked into the cinema as soon as the first screening on Friday.

So Kayla rested early at home and got up early today.

But now Kayla regrets it. The mighty crowds in front of me look no less than the premiere of "Life and Death". Kayla can see the long queue from the street next door, and follow the line all the way. Walking towards the entrance of the movie theater, he walked a full distance of nearly three hundred yards, and then saw the end of the line. Looking back, the line that had disappeared at the corner of the street was really staggering.

After a rough look, at least three hundred people are queuing. Kayla looked down at his watch. It was only a quarter past six at this time. It was almost two hours before "Death Row" was officially screened. The line was already so majestic. Now, people can't help but worry: can they really buy today's movie tickets?

The team near the entrance of the cinema gradually began to exaggerate. A dozen tents were camped on the street, and quilts and steaming coffee could even be seen in the line of sight. It was like a camping position. Among the camping spectators, Kayla found Joshua who had just woke up.

"Wow, you... it looks... it's a mess." Kayla tried to find a suitable adjective, but it was very difficult, and the interjection hesitated again and again.

Joshua sat cross-legged in the tent and rubbed his eyes. Not only was there no embarrassment on his face, he also chuckled lightly, "Look at the team behind you, it shouldn't be that bad anymore." This made Kayla. He choked on his words, Joshua poked his head out of the tent, looked around, and yawned, "Look, I came over at 8 o'clock last night, and I photographed twelve people in front of me. Seeing that the scene was really spectacular."

"Although I guess the scene will be more lively today..." This is also the reason why Kayla got up before dawn, but thinking about it, her early waking up in front of such an exaggerated team is really nothing, which makes her With a wry smile, he shook his head, "It seems that we have all underestimated the effect of Hugo."

"Isn't it..." Joshua stretched out, stood up, glanced at the team behind again, exclaimed, and then pointed to the partners in front of him, "We talked for a long time last night. These are Hugo's most loyal fans, but they are more movie fans and don't know much about Glory to Death. After August 5th, they are very interested in young volcanoes. I taught them a lot of science yesterday. It feels so wonderful."

Kayla looked at the unpretentious satisfaction on Joshua's face, and she couldn't help but began to envy her. She remembered the taste when she went to Salt Lake City at the beginning of the year. She gathered with all independent film lovers and talked about the world. When it comes to "before sunrise", not everyone likes it. She insists on her own opinions and argues. Red face, but it is the most fond memory.

Presumably, Joshua met the twelve Hugo fans here last night, so it was the same mood.

Just thinking about it, someone in front yelled, "Hey, guys, we are ready. It seems that the landmark theater is also scared by us. It seems that we are planning to show the first scene at seven o'clock in advance."

Joshua put his hands in his pockets, beating gently on the spot, apparently he was still a little bit cold overnight, "We asked them to increase the number of screens, but they refused to do so. It is estimated that today's screening plan will be cancelled. It's messed up." Joshua's words made a sound of response.

The number of screens in each movie theater is fixed. For example, three screens play "Death Row", three screens play "Toy Story", and one screen plays "Seven Deadly Sins". The schedules are arranged in advance. OK. If you want to make changes, you need to re-plan the theater manager, and you cannot easily make temporary changes.

Seeing the audience so enthusiastic today, it is obvious that the landmark theaters did not expect it. Under the circumstance that the number of screens cannot be changed, it can only increase the number of screenings of "Death Row". Now we will advance the screening time to seven o'clock, and postpone it to midnight, and play in a loop, using this method to accommodate more audiences.

Noting the gaze of the partners in front of him, Joshua pointed to Kayla, and said, "Kayla Cole, the backbone of the young volcano. She is on the scene at this year's Sundance Film Festival."

"Wow, young lady, have the opportunity to talk to us about that rare experience in detail." The excitement was mixed with the greeting of "Hey, Kayla", which caused a humming sound, which made Caraillo The disappointed mood became bright again.

"Kayla, do you want to stand behind me?" Joshua looked at the super long dragon behind, but at this time, people came over one after another. Seeing such exaggerated queuing, everyone was panicked. Can't do it.

Kayla hesitated. She also wanted to see "Death Convict Walk" for the first time, but in the end she shook her head, "I'll just line up by myself. You know, the process of waiting in line is also part of watching the movie. I enjoy Such a process, Hugo's movie is worth waiting for."

"Come and tell me." Joshua smiled and nodded. Although he has been here for nearly twelve hours last night, the process of waiting so long is a kind of happiness.

Kayla did not dare anymore, "I have to pass quickly, the team is still increasing, I don't have time." After that, Kayla greeted Joshua briefly and walked towards the end of the team. past.

Kayla was still walking quickly, but she found that a large number of people were getting off at the bus station not far away. This shocked her and started running quickly. The dense crowd around her was constantly around her. Backward, except for people, the magnificent scene is still awe-inspiring even if I watch it a few more times.

When Kayla ran to the end of the team, she discovered that in the few minutes she had just talked to Joshua, the team had grown for a long time, and she had not had time to catch her breath, behind her A dozen people came again, and even this street could already be seen at the end of the street.

Kayla looked forward, then back, and then two more glances. She couldn't help but smile. She couldn't wait.

Burbank’s landmark cinema line ushered in the grand occasion of more than 300 spectators waiting~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the crowds were more concentrated and noisy in the university town and Beverly Hills, even more shocked, close to 500. The audience sturdyly surrounded the buildings of the other two landmark theaters, and the streets surrounding the building where the cinema was located were surrounded by turbulent crowds. The iron barrel formation shocked many passers-by-once, the personnel were deserted. The landmark theaters of China have also ushered in such a rare sight?

When James Rattle and several fellow reporters rushed to the landmark theater in Beverly Hills, they were shocked by the crowds in front of them, although they all expected that the "Death Row" would be the focus of everyone's attention. Although they all guessed that Hugo's powerful appeal will inevitably trigger a craze, even if they raised their expectations high, when they really saw the battle in front of them, they found that they were still far underestimated.

The boiling crowd completely surrounded the small landmark theater, like a scourge, and could swallow the entire building at any time. Everyone’s face was filled with familiar excitement, and he obviously had infinite interest in the movie. Looking forward to it, even if I waited all night, I am still excited. As an art film, it is indeed a miracle that "Death Row" can get so much attention.

Seeing this scene, James was shocked, and suddenly a word came out of his mouth, "Did anyone see a reporter from the New York Post?" The colleagues next to him also looked around, "The New York Post" "Will the reporter really show up?"
