There were many people watching the movie at night, and Liu Du thought it was very simple to buy a ticket.
But when he arrived at the theater closest to his home, he found that there was already a long queue to buy tickets.
"What, can't you buy tickets online? Are you all queuing up here?"
He curiously asked a young man in front of him.
"We also wanted to buy it online, but this movie suddenly became popular, and in addition, there were two blockbuster movies starring big stars in the past few days that were also going to be released together, so those who booked tickets online The website was overwhelmed by the sudden influx of viewers and crashed, and it hasn’t been repaired yet!”
The young man was playing with his mobile phone in one hand and complained very angrily.
Liu Du raised his head and looked at the long snake-like queue for buying tickets in front of him. This familiar sight suddenly reminded him of the time when he and his parents went to the grain station to buy rice with tickets when he was a child...
It was already forty minutes after I finally bought the tickets. People at the theater didn’t expect that the ticket purchase website would suddenly crash, so there weren’t many ticket sellers arranged. There were only two windows, which is why it took so long. .
Sitting in the cinema, silently waiting for the film to start, Liu Du's ears were filled with discussions about the film.
"What do you think they changed Journey to the West to look like this time? I couldn't bear to read the spoiler news just to watch this movie!"
"Hey, it seems to be about the love story of Sun Wukong or the Bull Demon King. I just said this is nonsense. Sun Wukong and a monkey still fall in love with humans?"
"You idiot, Sun Wukong is already an officially established member of the Heavenly Court, that is, a god! Naturally, the person he falls in love with is also a fairy!"
"I heard that this movie is a comedy, so everyone should be very happy. Why were all the people I saw leaving the theater crying just now?"
"Who knows, maybe the plot is too twists and turns and you are moved. These directors nowadays like to do dramas of "tearing beautiful things to pieces for you to see", and then give everyone a surprise at the end. Look at a happy ending..."
"Let's not talk about the plot. Did any of you come here for Uncle Kan's ending song?"
"Me! I just listened to the ending song before I thought about watching the movie. Don't tell me, the ending song is really well written. Even though I didn't understand it, the atmosphere was definitely created!"
"Me too! After listening to the song "The Love of My Life", I came to buy Uncle Kan's movie ticket!"
"Hey you idiot, Jiang Kan didn't star in this movie, nor was he the director. He just wrote an ending song. Why do you think it's to compensate him for the movie tickets?"
"Stop bickering, the movie has started, shut up and watch it seriously!"
As the movie started to play, the surrounding chatter gradually died down, and Liu Du could watch this movie that was praised by netizens without being disturbed.
Two hours later, the movie ended.
There were already people in the theater crying like dogs.
Sobs echoed one after another in the large theater, mostly from girls.
They were more emotional, while most of the men who came to watch the movie were silent, with their chests rising and falling, trying their best to suppress the feeling of depression, depression and the urge to shout something in their hearts.
At this time, Liu Du's fingers were crossed and pressed together, his elbows were supported on the armrests on both sides, and his eyes were fixed on the ending subtitles on the screen, and his mind had begun to wander unknowingly.
His thoughts had already been taken away by the desolate, distant and vast song that appeared at the end of the film, and he entered the desolate and ancient desert, drifting farther and farther away as the four masters and disciples left.
"The past is gone and it will never come back again,
The red fallen leaves are buried in the dust,
The beginning and the end are always the same,
You are floating in the sky outside the white clouds..."
He sang the song silently and subconsciously.
The feeling of helplessness and desolation contained in the lyrics made him, who has reviewed countless movies,
The film professionals also felt bursts of chest tightness.
But compared to other viewers, he felt that he had seen a little more.
He felt that he had seen Sun Wukong's letting go of what he had asked for, and his relief after giving up all hope.
This made his depressed mood slightly better.
Of course, he also knew that this was just his own subjective understanding. This was not clearly shown in the film, but he still felt that when the monkey finally walked towards his master and junior brothers with the stick in both hands, he must have let go. A little something.
His chest was full of the desire to talk, and he had a belly full of things he wanted to say!
He broke out of his depressed state in an instant, jumped up from his chair, and rushed towards the door of the auditorium, even almost squeezing through several spectators who were exiting next to him.
"Hurry, come back to my computer, I want to write something!"
"The sea of suffering stirs up love and hate, and it is difficult to escape fate in this world.
Blind date, unexpectedly inaccessible,
Or I should believe that it is fate. "
As I drove the car, the song from the ending song continued to echo in my mind.
The desolate and yet full of philosophy of life song made him feel a little bit intoxicated at this moment.
Before, he was still very concerned about the meaning of the lyrics.
But at this moment, when my brain had some free time, I slowly realized that the singer of this song seemed to be an extremely capable singer.
His voice fits the meaning of the lyrics so well, and the desolate and distant melody.
Listening to their discussion, it sounds like it was sung by a singer named Jiang Kan, right?
Then this "Jiang Kan" should be at least forty years old.
No one who is a year younger would be able to sing such a sentimental song about life, love and philosophy.
His singing voice was so beautiful that it kept lingering in Liu Du's mind, making him unable to help but hum too.
"That's right, Jiang Kan! I remember, isn't he the one who won the annual championship of "Xia Guo Good Singer" last time?"
He patted his head and said with sudden realization.
""Blue and White Porcelain", "Big Fish", and "Ordinary DSCO" were all sung by him. How could I have forgotten him? It turns out he is the guy who can write these classic songs. No wonder this song "The Love of My Life" is so It’s so touching!”
Liu Du felt inexplicably proud that he remembered the name and experience of the songwriter. He proudly tapped the fingers of his right hand on the steering wheel of his Cadillac a few times, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Kan, the singer, was the one who shocked him at first.
The ethereal singing voice of "Big Fish", the retro and beautiful artistic conception of "Blue and White Porcelain", and the unbridled imagination of "Ordinary DSCO" all amazed him at the time.
Now he just wants to go home quickly and record on his computer everything he saw, heard and felt tonight. He believes that with his outstanding writing style, he will be able to His fans were so excited that he quickly gained another wave of followers!
The next day, morning.
In the agency department of Feiyang Entertainment Headquarters in Shanghai, in the office of Zhang Lingling’s deputy director, Xiao Zhang was drinking soy milk and eating steamed dumplings, while looking seriously at an article in front of her that was presented to her by her assistant. Scarf public account article.
This article is full of literary talent, novel in viewpoint, unique in perspective, and thought-provoking.
"I recently watched an excellent movie called "Journey to the West", and I had a lot of feelings after watching it. I would like to share it with my fans."
"As usual, let me say this first: This article contains a lot of spoilers, so those who have not watched the movie should read with caution."
"Okay, let's talk about the characterization in the play first."
"The Supreme Treasure is actually the epitome of each of us' childhood, carefree, simple and happy."
"Sun Wukong is who we will be when we grow up."
"Growing up means maturity, the golden cudgel is responsibility, and the golden cudgel is pressure. When we become mature and start to be busy with life, we must shoulder the responsibility and endure the pressure.
"Tang Sanzang is a person who seems to be very humorous in the play, but he is also careful and kind. In the early stage, he was very long-winded, very noisy, and very funny, so the Supreme Treasure couldn't stand him."
"But later on, the way he spoke did not change. Sun Wukong no longer found him verbose. It was because the Supreme Treasure became Sun Wukong and he matured."
"Fairy Zixia is everyone's dream lover. It's a pity that she is too perfect. She can do anything for her love. Each of us has been young and crazy. Unfortunately, when Sun Wukong finally understands that he loves her, it is too late. , because Sun Wukong is no longer young and frivolous, and can no longer risk his own life for love."
"Every girl thinks she is the Zixia Fairy, but it is a pity that even the beautiful thirty-year-old girl ended up marrying Zhu Bajie."
"Maybe you think this ending is very sad, but unfortunately this is the final destination of most girls. Maybe when Chun Sansanniang woke up at midnight, she also regretted it and was unwilling to accept it. But looking at Zhu Bajie's sleeping face and listening to his snoring, she felt that Looking at Tang Sanzang's cute little face, Chun Sanzang finally understood that she could no longer live without this man who shielded her from wind and rain."
"Zhixia likes the Supreme Treasure, the Supreme Treasure likes Bai Jingjing, Bai Jingjing likes the Monkey King, and the Monkey King likes Zixia. You think the Monkey King and the Monkey King are the same person, but they are 500 years apart."
"Everything is right, except that the time is wrong. If you want to save Zixia, you must defeat the Bull Demon King. If you want to defeat the Bull Demon King, you must become Sun Wukong. If you want to become Sun Wukong, you must forget the seven emotions and six desires and never be tainted by them again."
"This is how life is: if you want to be free to be with the one you love, you must have a successful career. If you want to have a successful career, you must abandon your innocence and put on a mask. When you become capable of giving everything to the one you love, you find that you can't find it. When I return to my original self, I also lose the ability to love.”
"This is the sad thing about being human. Many times, we actually have no choice."
"The ending song "The Love of My Life" is simply tailor-made for this film. He fully expresses the helplessness and unwillingness in this kind of life, and explains that in the end, you can only let go of missing people and walk on the original path. The regret and sorrow of the path that I am very resistant to."
"The lyrics, composer, and singer of "The Love of My Life" are all Jiang Kan, a singer and creator who I suddenly fell in love with recently. Most of his songs are full of thoughts and reflections on life, full of this cruel The exposure and struggle of society, such as "People Like Me", "Mortal Song", and this song "The Love of My Life" that sings about the loneliness of life. I recommend that everyone listen to it besides watching the movie. Listening to his songs, he is an outstanding singer full of humanistic care."
The full text is eloquent and has more than a thousand words, with sincere feelings and every word is precious.
When Zhang Lingling came back to her senses from the artistic conception brought by the words, she realized that her left hand holding the soy milk cup had been hovering in the air for a long time and was already sore from exhaustion, while the xiaolongbao she was holding in her right hand had long been cold. Tooru, still pinched between the thumb and index finger of his right hand.
"Wow!"
She quickly put the things down and shook her sore hands.
"This film critic called "Xiao Liu will watch a movie with you" really has something! "
She still didn't look away from the screen, but uttered this sentence with emotion.
"I've been so busy that I haven't had time to see this movie. It seems like I have to see it. If it's really as good as he said, wouldn't it be a pity not to see it?"
"And I've also listened to Kan's song "The Love of My Life". It sounds good, but I don't think it's really as magical as he said, right?"
She glanced at the soy milk and steamed dumplings on the table. They had become cold while she was reading, and she was no longer in the mood to have breakfast.
"Then let's go take a look tonight and see if it's really as magical as he said!"
With that said, she took out
Use your mobile phone to start ordering movie tickets for the evening.
"It's a pity that Uncle Kan is not in the Magic City, otherwise we could have gone to see it with him..."
Classmate Xiao Zhang murmured to himself with some regret.
In Yangcheng, at the branch of Feiyang Entertainment.
Xiang Ping held the tablet in her hand and knocked on the door of Jiang Kan's commissioner's office with a little bounce while walking.
"Commissioner Jiang, good news!"
She handed the tablet to Jiang Kan's hand.
""The New Journey to the West" was a hit right after it opened! The box office revenue reached more than 2.8 million yuan in one day and one night!"
"Well, you see, there are a lot of exclamations on the Internet. Most of them praise this film for being full of philosophy of life and depth of thinking. They say it contains tears in smiles. You will cry when you watch it. You will cry. I just laughed and stuff like that..."
The little girl didn't study movie reviews deeply, but after reading a few online review articles, she felt as if each article spoke to her heart.
She hasn't seen this movie yet, but she's been intrigued by the reviews online and is planning to go see it with some of her best friends tonight.
"Oh? Really? The box office revenue reached 2.8 million in just one day and night? Not bad!"
It takes about one and a half to two months for a movie to be released. If this momentum continues, wouldn't it be possible for it to earn hundreds of millions at the box office?
"Yes, yes, according to the most authoritative box office statistics website! And you see, most of the online comments when praising it mentioned "The Love of My Life" which you wrote, composed and sung. They almost put it over Oh my God! It seems that you have really become a signature promotion ambassador for film and television films! All the films with your music have become hits!"
