Chapter 915: Take Your Parents to Watch "Youth"

After watching it, the eight of us were in tears.

It was not because of Liu Feng's story, nor for the stories of He Xiaoping and others, but because of the atmosphere of the whole movie. Many details in it that have nothing to do with the story can often touch their memories.

Including songs, some behaviors unique to that era, and some emotions.

At the hot pot restaurant, we ordered Erguotou, whether we can drink it or not. Today, we feel that we can drink a lot. If we don't drink it, we feel uncomfortable.

Talking about the stories of the past, talking about everything in the past, from time to time during the meal, someone took out his mobile phone and called an old friend he could contact. Everyone chatted and laughed together, and made an appointment to get together somewhere.

Opening remarks: "Youth is released today, have you watched it?"

"XXX and I watched it together. We are drinking now. We talked about you and missed you. We must get together when we have time. You should bring your family to Yanjing to play. We all miss you."

In the restaurant, you can see young and middle-aged people drinking and making a fuss. If you really see a few older people, at the end of the drinking, they put their arms on each other's shoulders, one by one, and then sing together.

You won't think it's noise. They sing old songs that many young people have never heard of. After one or two songs, you can actually see that they are not drunk. When they pay the bill and leave, everyone's face is full of nostalgia, mixed with a touch of sadness. The youth of a generation is aging. What an appropriate word. Our era has passed, and now we can only slowly reminisce.

The movie is so good, we should also go and see the novel. I didn't expect that Haozi could write such a novel. Even if Director Feng's writing is brilliant, he must have good enough drawing paper and paint. The novel must not be bad. We should not subjectively assume that a post-90s generation cannot write the colors of that era.

The interview footage of "Huaxia Film Report" recorded this scene, edited it and played it in a TV program, evoking many people's youthful memories.

Fans lined up to buy tickets to watch the movie. With the spread of word of mouth, many shots recorded more interesting scenes in the cinema screening room. In some popular sessions, you will see most of the young people and a small number of older people. Before entering the screening room, there are two distinct states. On one side, I come to support my idols for easy entertainment, eating popcorn and drinking Coke; on the other side, people in their fifties and sixties are sitting here with expectations. A considerable number of them are still not very accepting of the consumption of watching movies for dozens of yuan per ticket.

When the film is finished, when the lights in the screening room are on, when the song of "Ronghua" fills the entire space, fewer and fewer people stand up and leave in a hurry. The online reputation and Xiao Gangpao's own words: "I hope everyone will not leave in a hurry after watching it. Be sure to listen to the ending song. You will get a different feeling."

The lights are on, and the audience leaves one after another. This is normal. With the pictures and sounds of the ending, the theater staff will come in to do a simple cleaning. In terms of the basic quality of the people, it has improved a lot in recent years. A considerable number of people will take away the garbage they produce when watching the movie and throw it into the trash can outside after the movie ends. There are fewer and fewer people with low quality, and the cleaning work is relatively easy to complete. It takes less than ten minutes to clean up and wait for the next audience to enter.

The movie "Youth" has brought about a revolution. When various theaters are scheduling films, the interval between the front and back screenings of the film in the same screening room is 25 to 30 minutes. This interval can be accelerated, and theaters also need to attract some advertising investment. Starting from seven or eight minutes before the movie starts, the audience enters the theater, and the big screen plays some local advertisements, and also plays some trailers for the upcoming films.

"Youth" is one of the very few movies that has lights on and everyone has to sit for about three minutes longer. After watching the director's version, Han Hong took the initiative to bring up the re-singing. The first version of the singing was quite standard. After watching it, her singing style and the emotions she revealed completely changed. After watching a two-hour movie, listening to such a song again can really make you close your eyes, and the older people will recall the years, and the young people will feel the youth of their parents' generation.

That night, a sentence was spread among the young people, and it quickly became a slogan for the promotion of "Youth" the next day.

"If you are born in the 1980s and 1990s, bring your parents to see "Youth"."

You don't have to have been a soldier or been on the battlefield to feel the atmosphere of that era.

Premiered at 9 o'clock.

Youth did not break the horror of Wolf Warrior 2. That night, Youth earned 60 million yuan at the box office. The two shows were still popular after midnight. Those who shouted on the Internet that they wanted to watch the midnight show were not kidding.

Early the next morning, all the entertainment pages of newspapers were about Youth.

From the morning to noon of the next day, all the TV entertainment news were dominated by Youth.

The premiere was at 9 o'clock on Friday night. Starting at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning, the theaters were full of Youth again, and all major theaters began to adjust their schedules.

Xiao Gangpao is very glad that Chen Hao plays Liu Feng. It is because of him that the several minutes of long shots of his war scene can be interpreted and understood to the greatest extent. Otherwise, there will definitely be a large number of haters who don’t understand and attack him.

Chen Hao has filmed "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Wolf Warrior 3". Needless to say, the military qualities of the characters he plays are very cool. The naughty kid in the second part and the villain in the third part are all very cool. No one would think that he can't perform those actions that don't look cool enough on the battlefield when he plays Liu Feng. It should be that the character itself is in this state. Liu Feng is not a good commander. This was discussed on the Internet that night. Liu Feng is not a soldier king. He is just an ordinary soldier and an ordinary grassroots commander. He has also been a literary soldier for many years, carrying a gun and fighting. He is hunched over and cautious. He is helpless in the current complex situation. That is the real thing.

Because of Chen Hao's Liu Feng, Xiao Gangpao was spared a lot of criticism in this war scene. The good parts of his scene were interpreted at the fastest speed, and some minor flaws were not enough to cover up the merits. Under the promotion of the overall good reputation, everyone recognized it.

Many film critics gave the highest evaluation to this film for the characterization. Xiao Suizi, who has a first-person perspective, was portrayed in three dimensions with only a few scenes with Hao Shuwen. The same is true for Lin Dingding. She is no longer a very stereotyped character. Including Xiao Ballet and Zhuoma, they have added a little bit of scenes that are enough to make them not passers-by.

These comments made Xiao Gangpao secretly sweat. This was what Haozi insisted on at the beginning. If it weren't for his persistence and the many good plans he came up with later, it is very likely that several main supporting roles in this film would appear very passers-by, and people would not remember them. There is no feature, and the characterization is not three-dimensional at all.

Similarly, Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the comments of these professional film critics, full of pride. The version in his mind, among the several points that this film was criticized for, the lack of clear characterization has caused many people to criticize and question Xiao Gangpao's directing level.

Xiao Gangpao's second reason for being glad that Chen Hao is the lead actor is that Wang Xuelong's theater chain, Huayi and Wanda have quarreled over the scheduling of each other's films in the past, and Xiao Gangpao has quarreled with Wang Xuelong on Weibo.

This time, no one quarreled. Let's not talk about the background behind Huanju Times. Chen Hao and Wang Xuelong's relationship is also very good. The two met not many times, and they played games and chatted together on the Internet. Of course, there was also the reason that the other side was concerned about the group of people like Jing Dashao, but more of it was the willful appreciation of Chen Hao by the father and son of the Wang family. The father would not pay special attention to entertainment matters, nor would he accept interviews on these matters. Wang Xuelong was extremely active in the entertainment industry. He had expressed his appreciation for Chen Hao more than once in public. Even if the two sides could not form a long-term cooperative relationship, it would not prevent the two sides from becoming friends.

There was a saying that "girlfriends and models come and go, but Lin Gengxin is always there" to express the friendship between Principal Wang and Lin Gengxin. Principal Wang has been very domineering on the Internet more than once, and Xiao Lin has been scolded several times.

There have been many times when Chen Hao and Principal Wang played games together, or played games and were broadcast live by others. Chen Hao played well, and his personal image in Principal Wang also made him know that he needed to restrain his temper, not to mention scolding. The state of getting along between the two sides in the game live broadcast was completely equal.

Because of this, many fans of Haomen feel very proud. In the eyes of ordinary people, the gang of Jing Dashao is invisible and intangible. Rich people like Principal Wang are the most superior young people in their cognition. Being able to have an equal dialogue with Principal Wang, and there is an unlucky Lin Gengxin standing there for comparison, the image of the boss in the eyes of Haomen fans is infinitely elevated.

"Youth" is a hit, and Wanda has given it enough screenings. The remaining films on the May Day holiday can only grab a small amount of resources. All the scenes are for "Youth". The films that avoid direct confrontation are secretly happy. Those who want to eat the leftovers are unlucky. Now they can't even eat a small share of the leftovers, and can only drink soup.

Regarding the theaters, Huya and Huayi have done enough homework in advance, with nearly 50% of the screenings. During the first weekend, all aspects are paying attention to its box office through various channels. Some people and institutions have begun to analyze data based on ticket sales in advance to predict the first-day box office.
