May 25th is a good day to travel and make money.

Ah Wei is taking the day off today. As a 996 social worker, he has always been conscientious and conscientious.
But even though he is so serious, he was still scolded by his supervisor yesterday for some small mistakes.
In the past, he might have had a hard time arguing with this supervisor, but now, having long been smoothed by social practice, he just resigned himself to it.
It's true that you can relieve your anger in the line, but if you don't make it, the half-year bonus next month will be gone. You can't make trouble with anyone, and you can't make trouble with money.
However, being scolded so badly in front of so many colleagues would make anyone a little angry, so Ah Wei chose to take a day off to adjust his mood.
In addition to work, his daily life consists of browsing Douyin and Bilibili. He finally had a day off today, so he definitely can't stay at home.
It just so happened that a domestic blockbuster was going to be released recently, and the premiere was tonight, so after getting off work, Ah Wei went to the cinema near his home to queue up to buy tickets, preparing to catch the first show early this morning.
The subject matter of this movie actually had nothing to attract him. The main theme, action, and gun battles were all poorly made in China. They were unintentional, fake, and embarrassingly sensational.
The only thing that attracts him is the heroine Luo Quan. This angelic girl is the only bright spot in his depressed life. No matter how difficult life is, as long as he sees her and hears her songs, he can feel comforted.
This is Luo Quan's big-screen debut, and as a senior Quan fan, Ah Wei naturally wants to support it.
Although it was only eight o'clock, there were already many people queuing in the cinema.
Most of them were men. When Ah Wei asked, they were all directed at Luo Quan.
Recently, Luo Quan's fame in China has been unprecedented. She has been searched more frequently than any other top actress, and she has been named and praised by GQT many times. I have never seen such treatment before. Say hello. Nothing is too much for a daughter.
I heard that Luo Quan’s recent song will be selected into music textbooks for primary and secondary school students, and will most likely be included in the school’s bell tones. This achievement is unprecedented for domestic musicians!
Thinking of so many people coming to the cinema to see his "wife", Ah Wei couldn't help feeling a little proud:
Haha, it’s not yours, no matter how active you are!
At the same time, at the premiere press conference far away in Beijing, a group of main creators were on stage talking about the difficulties in the filming process.
Sitting under the stage were a group of big shots from the domestic film and television industry. From theaters and investors to directors and actors, they were all big names above the first line.
Generally speaking, Director Wu cannot recruit so many heavyweights with his current connections, but who said there is a government document prepared this time? It is no longer a simple commercial action movie, even if it is really bad movie, the box office exploded, and the higher authorities would also forcibly arrange quotas to be raised.
Of course, no one has seen the finished film yet. Whether it is good or bad will be known after tonight.
And with the government so highly recommending it, it naturally doesn't hurt that all the big guys come over to support it.
After all, everyone carries the sedan chair, so it can be valued by the government, which also shows that this movie has its own merits.
To put it another way, wouldn't it be beautiful to see Luo Quan up close, if there is one of the most beautiful women in the world on this stage?
However, Luo Quan was dressed quite conservatively tonight. It was already May, and she was still wearing a jacket. Most of her graceful figure was covered. She also stood relatively far back on the stage, and there were many other things. The gentleman secretly cried out that it was a pity.
"So it was really not easy to shoot our movie this time. The original heroine asked for more money midway. I really couldn't come up with more money, and the entire crew was stuck."
Director Wu Jin is a tough guy, and his eyes can't help but turn red when he talks about sad things.
As the director, male protagonist and investor, he is actually under the greatest pressure. Before, he was the backbone and everyone could panic, but he had to stay calm and stabilize everyone's military morale.
Until today's premiere, the mood he had been holding back for more than half a year finally relaxed.
"I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes. In order to make this movie, I even mortgaged my house. It can be said that I spent all my money!" Wu Jin's voice regained its sonority. "Fortunately, I met a good team. I met so many good actors. Everyone has been having a hard time these past few months, but we all persevered, and this is how it was successfully released. Regardless of the final box office, I think it will be an extremely valuable asset! "
Director Wu Jin's speech aroused resonance and warm applause from many filmmakers in the audience.
In fact, many classic domestic films were actually shot under difficult conditions.
At that time, everyone's salary was generally not high, the costumes were rudimentary, and the post-production special effects were mediocre, but they could still make a high-scoring movie.
But now, a movie often costs hundreds of millions of dollars, has big names gathered, special effects are explosive, and a IP script is big, but in the end it turns out to be a piece of shit, and a bunch of trolls are hired to brag about it on the Internet, squeezing out other excellent movies of the same period.
I don’t know when this situation started. When Chinese-language films should have been booming, they fell into a vicious cycle with no end in sight.
Although the total box office volume reaches new highs every year, truly good movies have not appeared for a long time.
Many of the people here actually have ambitions and want to make a difference.
Unfortunately, with the flow of capital, it has become a common phenomenon for laymen to guide experts. It is extremely difficult to come up with a good film!
It is rare to see a creative director like Director Wu Jin who insists on his own direction without spending money to hire young talents. The guests also believe that it will be a good movie.
In the following time, the host of the premiere guided the creators to discuss the stories that happened during the filming of the movie.
After all, it was shot in Africa, and few domestic crews would travel so far away for filming. During this period, the crew did encounter a lot of stories.
"Actually, what impressed me most was Luo Quan's first day of filming." Wu Jin recalled what happened that day and said with a smile, "Although Luo Quan said it was her first time filming, her performance was really It surprised all of us. He was much better than those graduates. Most of the scenes were shot in one go, and his acting skills were perfect!
However, this is not the point.
After the first day of filming was completed and the crew was preparing to go home, a large group of locals armed with sharp weapons suddenly broke into the filming set.
They targeted Luo Quan, the only girl still at the scene, and rushed over. Several security guards and I held down most of them, but one person was still missing.
At that time, I was thinking that something had happened, and I almost didn't even mention it. "
The host looked concerned: "But Luo Quan is still standing here fine, so what happened at that time?"
"I remember that the domestic media reported this at the time, but it probably didn't cause much trouble." Wu Jin said with a smile: "Luo Quan turned around and kicked the man two meters away."
The whole audience was amazed. They didn't expect Luo Quan to have such skill.
The host was also shocked and handed the microphone to Luo Quan's mouth: "Luo Quan, is what Director Wu said true?"
Luo Quan nodded: "That was indeed the case at that time."
The host said: "Then can you give us a live performance of turning around and kicking? We have never seen a girl do such a difficult action!"
Luo Quan thought for a while and said, "Okay."
Then everyone on the stage began to make room for Luo Quan, and Luo Quan stood in the center and became the focus.
Fortunately, she was wearing sneakers today. If she had worn high heels, it would have been difficult to move.
I sprained my ankle last time in London, but it has already healed after so many days.
Although karate requires more hand skills, the leg skills are no less than taekwondo. It is a piece of cake for her to turn around and kick.
For the sake of enjoyment, Luo Quan chose the most difficult action.
Her body was tensed like a spring, and she slowly turned half a circle with her right foot as the axis.
Then he suddenly exerted force, and his body suddenly turned twice in the air. At the highest point of suspension, Luo Quan kicked out with lightning speed, his movements were crisp and powerful.
Finally, he landed firmly on the ground, his body as stable as a rock.
There was cheering and applause both on and off the stage.
They had seen star beaters before, and they had also seen many star beaters show off their skills on stage, but this was the first time they had seen a pretty girl make such an action on stage.
With this skill, she can already do a lot in female-led action movies.
The host asked with a smile on his face: "Luo Quan, you are so skilled, there must be a scene where you can show off your skills this time, right?"
Luo Quan was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I don't have any action scenes. The fighting scenes are all for male actors."
The female host looked regretful: "That's such a shame."
The premiere continued for about an hour, and the behind-the-scenes story of the entire movie was basically covered. The main creators also talked about their mental journeys during the filming of the movie, which was a bit of a reveal.
With the host's thanks, the live broadcast of the premiere ended, and the subtitles began to play in front of the TV.
But for everyone present, tonight's premiere has just begun.
The main purpose of the live TV broadcast is to give the audience a preliminary understanding of the movie, and after it ends, the movie will start playing.
This time, in addition to inviting directors, actors, and investors, we also invited many film critics. The initial reviews will depend on the initial impressions of these people.
After the filming equipment is turned off, all the lights in the hall are turned off, and the movie is about to start playing.
An hour after the premiere of the film, it was also shown in major cinemas across the country.
Fans who had already bought tickets also entered the theater one after another, hoping to be the first to eat the crab.
Some are attracted by the thrilling premonition scenes, while others are attracted by the starring actors.
Although this movie doesn't have any big names or celebrities, surprisingly many movie fans came to support it.
Ah Wei naturally came here because of Luo Quan. He was one of the first to enter the theater. After sitting down, he excitedly observed the seats around him.
There were a lot of people coming to see it, and the seats were basically full. It seemed that the promotion was done well. In the past, for similar films, there were usually no crowds in the early morning screenings.
The movie started quickly, and the audience was immediately immersed in the plot of the movie...
Ps. Considering that everyone has probably seen this movie, I won’t recount the plot of the movie here.
Two hours later, when the red visa appeared in the center of the big screen, and when the extremely heart-warming text appeared in everyone's eyes, many emotional viewers had tears in their eyes.
Ah Wei has never been as patriotic as he is now.
In the past, such thoughts would only occur for a while during the National Day, but as soon as the holiday was over, I began to immerse myself in work, and all emotions were suppressed.
Watching this movie actually did not do anything to relieve his depression.
But Ah Wei felt proud and excited in his heart at this time. This movie evoked the one thing that he was taught the most in school when he was a child, that is patriotism.
In the past, he was actually shy about speaking these two words. Every time he sang GG at regular school meetings, many people would shut up and stop singing. They felt that singing GG was a shameful thing.
And when talking about their ideals when they grow up, those classmates who say they want to be soldiers will always suffer inexplicable ridicule.
In the past, Ah Wei was also one of the silent ones and mockers, but now, he only felt ashamed.
In fact, it is not just him, many viewers have changed their mentality after watching it.
It is not just as simple as reminding them of their patriotism, but also telling them: China has really become stronger!
That night, I don’t know how many people posted on Weibo and WeChat Moments to express their long-delayed patriotic feelings. I don’t know how many people chose to turn around and enter the theater for a second or third visit!
Those film critics who had watched the movie first immediately began to write articles and evaluate it on their respective media platforms.
However, the fastest moving thing is Y-vision. China Film Magazine has published an article early, titled.
The article is an extension of the final scene. It first outlines its plot and highlights, and then highlights the ubiquitous Chinese characteristics in the movie.
It’s not just patriotism, but also China’s consistent attitude towards foreign countries, and the national prestige it has accumulated abroad.
In fact, these are rarely mentioned in current main theme movies, but they are well reflected, and the plot is not obtrusive at all.
There is a good balance between the main theme and storytelling.
To sum it up in one sentence, this is a good movie worth watching by all Chinese people!
