Hangzhou.
Li Yuan's cell phone rang. It was his girlfriend. The two had been in a long-distance relationship for several years.
As soon as he answered the phone, Li Yuan heard his girlfriend's excited voice: "Our company's May Day holiday notice has come out, let's play in the state then."
"No problem, my place happens to be quite close to the tourist attractions, so you can just come over when the time comes."
"We haven't watched a movie together for a long time. Let's go see a movie together when the time comes. I watched the trailer for "Up to the Sky" online a few days ago. It's very good. Let's go see it then."
Li Yuan's girlfriend studied the history of this period in college and was very interested in this movie.
Speaking of movies, Li Yuan naturally thought of Tan Yue's new movie and said, "I want to see "Kung Fu". I haven't seen such a movie in the cinema for a long time."
"I'm taking a few days off, so let's watch a movie together."
"good."
Regarding the movie "Kung Fu", Li Yuan is relatively new to it.
...
Magic City.
Baicheng Entertainment Company.
As the May Day holiday approaches, the entire company is busy.
The film department has a film released, and the actors in the film arrange live promotions in various places.
As a director, Zhao was sitting in his office drinking tea and reading the newspaper, which seemed a bit leisurely.
But at the moment, his brows were furrowed, his face looked sad, and his attention was not on the newspaper in his hand.
Even when I took a cup and took a sip of tea, I felt it had no taste.
"Alas..." He sighed, put down the newspaper, and lay back on the chair with his eyes closed.
Recently, I have been busy with the promotion of "Kung Fu" and "Up to the Sky".
One is a top domestic entertainment company, and the other is a top international entertainment company abroad.
The intensity of publicity for the movie is completely unmatched by a second-rate entertainment company like them.
Zhao felt like he was holding back a breath in his heart.
He recently filmed a fantasy movie "Strange Mountains and Seas" and is gearing up to show off his skills during the May Day holiday.
Zhao Sheng put a lot of effort into this movie. Fantasy movies are considered niche movies in China, but they have a group of sticky fans. It is this that allows seeing opportunities.
If successful, his status in the directing world will be greatly improved.
In order to obtain higher profits, Zhao Sheng applied for many publicity resources from the company.
The media, Weibo, short video platforms... all have promotional videos.
But judging from the current results, it has not attracted much attention)
Netizens' attention is almost all focused on "Kung Fu" and "Sky to the Sky".
Zhao Sheng felt so miserable that he couldn't explain it.
Obviously they all follow the same publicity route, but they always fail to attract attention.
The word "Chuan" between Zhao Sheng's eyebrows became more and more obvious.
"Strange Mountains and Seas" has long been scheduled to be released on May Day.
Later, when he first saw that "Kung Fu" was scheduled to be released, Zhao Sheng felt a little nervous.
Although martial arts action movies are not very attractive to audiences in the movie market now, it is a movie directed by Tan Yue after all.
Just because of the name Tan Yue, many viewers will go to the cinema to watch the show.
After that, Zhao Sheng saw major media reports that "Straight to the Sky" was also scheduled to be released on May Day.
He felt quite nervous.
Foreign big-budget movies always have an inexplicable attraction for audiences.
The director of this movie is also quite famous, and many people in China know Jesse's name.
There's a lot of discussion online that "Kung Fu" is in a bad situation.
Zhao Sheng feels that he is the one in the worst situation. At least "Kung Fu" is still popular.
They say that when gods fight, mortals suffer.
Zhao Sheng believes that this is the situation now. There was "Kung Fu" before and "Straight to the Sky" after.
No one paid attention to "Strange Mountains and Seas" at all.
Powerless as a result, Zhao Sheng stared blankly at the ceiling, holding "Kung Fu" and "Straight into the Sky" in his heart (this chapter is not finished yet!)

Why are they all released on May Day? What should I do?
Thinking of his own movie, Zhao Sheng was still looking forward to it.
"Strange Mountains and Seas" has a lot of investment, and the money spent on its production is not a small amount. The quality is definitely up to par.
And it’s a relatively rare subject.
Maybe his movie is a dark horse, counterattacking "Kung Fu" and "Up to the Sky" at the box office.
A glimmer of light appeared on Zhao Sheng's melancholy face.
...
The evening of April 30th.
Discussions on film forums have skyrocketed.
"May Day is tomorrow, and many movies will be released. Which movies are you going to watch?
"Needless to say, it has to be "Right to the Sky". A blockbuster like this can only be felt in a cinema."
"Of course I want to support Teacher Tan Yue's movie. I feel pretty good after watching the promotional trailer of "Kung Fu"."
"I want to watch "Straight to the Clouds". Although the promotional video is very short, after watching it, I can only use two words - shocking."
"As a veteran of martial arts action, "Kung Fu" is of course my first choice for watching movies this holiday. I have already bought it and will watch it in the cinema tomorrow."
"I want to know if it's possible to watch the movie "Uncanny Mountains and Seas" together? Ask a teammate online and I'll treat you!"
...
...
the next day.
Hangzhou.
Warm home.
This house was a wedding house bought by Li Yuan's parents for him, and he usually lives alone.
Li Yuan was still lying on the bed, sound asleep.
Zhao Yan, Li Yuan's girlfriend, took the high-speed train to the place after get off work yesterday. It was already twelve o'clock in the evening.
Zhao Yan, who usually gets up at seven o'clock, woke up at around six o'clock when her biological clock called her.
Looking at the time, Zhao wanted to continue sleeping for a while, but he fell asleep despite tossing and turning.
After finally taking a vacation, Zhao Yan didn't want to spend the whole morning lying on the bed.
So he woke up Li, who was still sleeping beside him: "Wake up."
Li Yuan opened his eyes drowsily: "Are you ready?"
"Six-fifty."
Li Yuan pulled the quilt and hid his head under the quilt: "It's still early, I'll sleep a little longer and go out to the party."
How could Zhao let Li Yuan sleep when he couldn't sleep anymore.
However, no matter how much Zhao Yan urged, Li Yuan was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.
Zhao Yan just gave up the idea of getting up for the time being, turned on her phone and started browsing short videos out of boredom.
Unknowingly, the time came to nine o'clock.
Zhao Yan once again called Li Yuan to get up.
Li Yuan has already bought movie tickets in advance. "Kung Fu" opens at eleven o'clock and "Up to the Sky" opens at three o'clock in the afternoon.
You have to put on makeup when you go out for a party, which takes a lot of time, otherwise you will be late)
Li Yuan felt that the two hours had passed as soon as his eyes closed, and he was still very sleepy.
"If you don't get up, I won't watch the movie "Kung Fu". I'll go see "Sky to the Sky" in the afternoon."
Realizing that there was something wrong with Zhao Yan's tone of voice, Li Yuan became more awake.
"Okay, get up."
Li Yuan squinted for a while and didn't get up until half past nine.
After a brief wash, Zhao Yan had already prepared breakfast when she came out.
Li Yuan had not eaten much breakfast before, so he put down his chopsticks after taking two bites.
"Eat more. Today is the first day of the holiday. There must be a lot of people in the mall. After watching the first movie, I have to rush to the second one. Maybe I can skip the meal in the middle." As she spoke, Zhao Yan picked up a fried The eggs were placed on Li Yuan's dinner plate.
Li Yuan swallowed the omelette without saying a word.
During the May Day holiday, both movie theaters and shopping malls will definitely be crowded with people. What my girlfriend said makes sense.
After breakfast, Li Yuan packed things in the kitchen, and Zhao Yan started putting on makeup in the bedroom.
It was almost half past ten when the two of them went out.
Zhao Yan said angrily: "You said I wanted you to get up early, we might (this chapter is not over yet!)

late. ",
Li Yuanxin vowed: "Don't worry, it will be here soon."
Fortunately, the community is relatively close to the cinema, and Li Yuan often drives around this area, so he is quite familiar with the road conditions.
It took more than ten minutes to reach the mall. The cinema was on the fourth floor of the mall.
The two of them got on the elevator that was immediately full and went straight to the fourth floor.
Looking at the crowds of people in the cinema, it was the same as they thought.
There is also a Chuanhai poster for Shaomo Movies erected at the door.
The most conspicuous among them are "Kung Fu" and "Up to the Sky".
It can also be seen from this how much the cinema attaches great importance to these two movies.
The two decided to split up, Zhao Yan went to get movie tickets, and Li Yuan went to buy popcorn.
But you need to queue up.
On the first day of the May Day holiday, the flow of people in the entire mall increased several times.
The whole family came out to play, and young couples hung out.
Especially in movie theaters, most of them are young people.
Zhao Yan, who was queuing up to get tickets, heard two people behind her asking for tickets.
"Today I finally got to watch "Up to the Sky". To watch a blockbuster, of course you have to watch it in the cinema."
"I believe that watching "Right to the Sky" will definitely rebate the ticket price. This is the work of a famous war-themed director. His movies are always famous for their spectacularness. After watching it, you will definitely feel that the previous movies were in vain."
"Just thinking about the commercial makes me excited, and now I can't wait."
The people in front were discussing Tan Yue's movies.
"Of course it's not the type of movie I love. It's Teacher Yue's movie, so I must support it."
"So many people on the Internet don't like martial arts action movies, and they even say they won't watch "Kung Fu". I think there is something wrong with their eyes. As long as Mr. Tan Yue's film and television works are good, this movie will definitely not let me down. .”
Zhao Yan found that most of them came to watch "Kung Fu" and "Skyline".
"Straight to the Sky" has been discussed a little more.
Li Yuan came over with a bucket of popcorn and came to Zhao Yan's side.
Zhao Yan said: "Tan Yue's film may not perform as well as "The King of Comedy."
Li Yuan asked doubtfully: "Why?"
"Did you hear people talking around you when you were buying popcorn? Many people came to watch "Straight to the Clouds" today." Zhao Yan took a look at the ticket code, and it was her turn next.
When "The King of Comedy" was released on National Day, most of the audience in the cinema were discussing the movie.
Nowadays, there is obviously a lot less discussion about "Kung Fu".
Li Yuan said unconvinced: "That's because they have no vision. Martial arts action movies are such a good genre. Only one has come out in so many years. "Kung Fu" is of course the first choice."
Zhao Yan did not argue, pointed the ticket taker at the scanning port, and took out two movie tickets.
After checking the tickets, the two entered the theater.
At a glance, there are still many people in the movie theater.
Yuan said softly: "It seems that everyone still likes this movie very much."
The two of them went to the back and were in the third row from the bottom.
Only then did I see that there were several empty seats in the last row.
After finding her seat and sitting down, Zhao Yan whispered: "It's better not to have high expectations. There are so many people on the first day of the holiday, but there is still an empty seat."
Too much, and there is still no one in those empty seats.
It can be said that the two of them were the last to come in. There is no one now, maybe there is really no audience.
"You still haven't woken up yet. If the movie at the party is not good, take advantage of this time to have a good rest and watch "Up to the Sky" in the afternoon)"
Li Yuan nodded slightly, lay on the chair, and waited for the movie to start.
Although Tan Yue is very good as a director, "Kung Fu" is a martial arts film after all.
For such a long time, he has been very reluctant about the movie "Kung Fu". He really hopes that the movie will be well made, but he is not that confident.
Nowadays, martial arts action movies have long lost their original flavor.

Can Tan Yue make a true martial arts movie?
A very important reason why I came to the cinema to watch "Kung Fu" this time is because of my love for this type of movie.
Zhao Yan picked up the popcorn and put it in Li Yuan's mouth.
He knew that his boyfriend liked martial arts action movies, and he even became obsessed with them. He said: "There will be opportunities in the future. Some time ago, I saw that the official website of the General Administration of Documents announced a number of films that strongly support the development of various types of movies, including martial arts. Action movie)"
The movie hasn't started yet, and many people are discussing in low voices.
"I can see Teacher Tan Yue's new movie again. I came here just for him. As long as it is his movie, I must not miss it. In order to buy this movie ticket, I stayed up until midnight to buy it, but I believe everything will be fine. worth."
"As a long-time fan of Mr. Tan, I must support the new movie when it is released."
"I came here for Zhou Can. I became a fan after watching "The King of Comedy" last time. I hope his performance in the movie can be better this time."
"The collaboration between the teacher and Zhou Can, this time we can see the nonsensical style again, and this time there is also a martial arts action pattern, which is really hard to imagine. How do these two styles combine?"
"When you said that, I realized that lately my mind has been filled with action movies, so I've ignored the nonsense."
On the first day "Kung Fu" was released, there were so many viewers. In fact, most of them came for Tan Yue and Chan Cai.
There are also some viewers who are attracted by the nonsense.
If his martial arts action movie is released, I will be thankful that half of the people in this theater can be seated.
The lights gradually dimmed and the chatter became much quieter.
Li Yuan turned to look at the last row again, but there was still no one sitting in the empty seats.
