Chapter 619 Reversal, attracting attention

"I hope everyone can recommend "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" on Weibo and Moments."

"As long as you (theater manager) can arrange a golden show for us this weekend, I am willing to kneel down to you.
I love all my friends who have helped A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix, and I am willing to do anything for you. "

Kneel down and beg for a movie?
With thousands of netizens watching in real time, this was a shocking moment.

After all, "kneel down to heaven, kneel down to your parents," and kneeling down has a very special meaning in the Chinese cultural context.

Fang Li's kneeling shocked the entire film and television industry.

Of course, it also caused a lot of doubts.

"And by kneeling down and lowering one's personal dignity, to ask cinema lines that originally followed mature business models and tended to choose commercial interests to increase the arrangement of art films, is this moral kidnapping by putting emotions above the market?"

"I watched "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix", and it was indeed good, but theaters are a commercial activity, and this kind of literary and artistic film is really not popular."

"."

However, at this time in the industry, it is not only Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Li Jian, Chen Kaige, He Ping, Huang Jianxin, Tsui Hark, Feng Xiaogang and other older generation directors who are shouting.

Filmmakers and artists such as Xu Zheng, Han Han, Huang Bo, Song Jia Xiao, Wan Qian, Chen Bolin and other people also expressed their support for "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" on Weibo.

Even many netizens are grateful for Fang Li, who joined the promotion team of "A Hundred Birds to the Phoenix" as a volunteer, for his feelings towards art films, and thus paid attention to this art film, which was originally not very popular.

"teacher!"

Li Mu received a call from Tian Zhuangzhuang at this time.

"Originally, it is really inappropriate for you to do this." Tian Zhuangzhuang sighed, "Teacher Wu is a leader of the fourth generation of directors in China. When he was the director of Xi'an Film Studio, he was also our benefactor. You can It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a teacher.

If you can support it, please support it.”

"I understand, teacher, this is a small matter."

Li Mu nodded.

"The Phoenix" and "Captain America 3" are on the same schedule, so naturally they were rejected.

In addition, there are also Phantom Body: The Game of Life, Super Brain 48 Hours, and The Jungle Book, which have not yet been released. There are also many domestic movies. Although they are not blockbusters, the film schedule of "A Hundred Birds at the Phoenix", a literary and artistic film, has been squeezed. It is normal to be around 1%.

Improving the film schedule of "A Hundred Birds to the Phoenix" will not be a big problem for Mengying Media's theater chain, and after such a turmoil, the number of people watching "A Hundred Birds to the Phoenix" will also increase a lot.

"How much is the film schedule for Dream Cinema's "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix"?"

After Li Mu finished talking to Tian Zhuangzhuang, he immediately called to ask about Liu Weijuan.

"Mr. Li, less than 5%, 4.36%!"

Liu Weijuan responded immediately.

"Go up the queue, give 10% of the film schedule, and support it to the end, so that the audience can have the opportunity to see "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" at all times."

Li Mu immediately said, and then touched Liu Yifei's hair, "Let's go to the cinema to show our support."

"Okay!"

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up. She liked literary films like "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" the most.

"Dream Cinema Line expressed its support for "The Phoenix" and announced that its theaters will commit from today on to each of its theaters to schedule no less than two films of "The Phoenix" every day, and guarantee that at least one film will be in a prime location! "

"Huayi Brothers Cinema speaks out."

"Broadway Movie"

Xiaoxiang Cinemas, New Century Cinemas, UME Cinemas and many other cinemas followed suit one after another.

Suddenly, there was a movie-watching craze for watching "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix".

However, "Captain America 3" was affected by this, and its box office dropped a lot.

Dream Cinema.

Liu Yifei was as brisk as a young girl. First she dragged Li Mu around the mall, and when it was almost time to show the movie, she reluctantly dragged Li Mu into the theater.

"Let's go buy popcorn and Coke."

Li Mu immediately planned to buy something to eat.

At this time, Liu Yifei was wearing a black mask and looking at Li Mu who was communicating with the salesperson with a smile on her eyebrows.

This was the case when the two fell in love and watched movies.

Li Mu always holds a bucket of popcorn, and then she just needs to watch a movie comfortably, and then when she gets greedy, she can just reach for the popcorn and eat it. "Let's go."

Li Mu turned around and saw a smile in Liu Yifei's eyes. He didn't know why.

"Ok!"

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly, couldn't help but pick up a few popcorns, pulled down the mask, and gently stuffed them into her mouth.

Because it was a working day and still in the morning, there were not many people in the theater, and Liu Yifei was not afraid of being recognized.

"It's so sweet."

Liu Yifei narrowed her eyes and sighed in her heart.

In the screening room, in addition to the two people, there were also two or three people here and there, and a few people were not sitting in one row.

Liu Yifei and Li Mu took off their masks. In the dark theater, Liu Yifei naturally leaned on Li Mu's shoulder.

"A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix", like Wu Tianming's previous film "Changing Faces", tells the elegy of the "folk art" suona, and is about the inheritance of skills and social changes.

There is too much helplessness and sadness in the middle of the movie.

The rapid social changes and the influx of new things have made people forget many things that were originally precious and need to be passed down.

The movie is coming to an end.

On the roadside, an old man was playing the suona with a teapot in front of him. A young man passing by put a coin in it.
The sadness at the end was filmed very piecemeal and was not processed into a dramatic visual conflict, but instead made the movie-goers feel a little more painful.

When the Director of Culture came over to apply for the suona to be an intangible cultural heritage, it turned out that the people who could play it were no longer in Wushuang Town.

When we go to other places to find them, some of them can no longer brag.

It seems to be reminding everyone that if we don’t protect some craft traditions as soon as possible, then in silence, future generations may not have the opportunity to witness the legends and history again.
"Teacher Wu captured the inheritance of folk skills very well."

After a long time after the movie was screened, Liu Yifei let out bursts of emotion.

"Indeed, this may be one of the meanings of movies, not only to entertain the audience, but also to remind the audience."

Li Mu nodded. This movie is not polished, but it is simple and true. It conveys the beauty of nature and simple craftsmanship. It allows people to feel the ups and downs of the suona story in the movie, and also shows a silent response to the hustle and bustle of modern times in just a few words. Ask.

With the support of major theaters, the box office of "A Hundred Birds to the Phoenix" soared dozens of times, beginning to catch up with Hollywood movies of the same period.

"Mr. Li, the crew of "In the Name of the People" plans to hold a press conference in Nanjing"

The next day, Liu Weijuan reported in Li Mu's office.

Recently, "In the Name of the People", which is currently being filmed in Nanjing, has attracted rapid attention.

Because anti-corruption propaganda has become more proactive and open, under the influence of this environment, anti-corruption dramas that have been dormant for more than ten years have quietly revived.

"In the Name of the People", a project spearheaded by the Film and Television Center of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, is undoubtedly the "vanguard" among them because it has "official pedigree", and it also has the quality guarantee of Mengying Media.

In the minds of many people, the products that Mengying Media participates in are not far behind even if they are not high-quality products.

This reversal of momentum is completely different from the Chinese New Year period, when investors wanted to stay away from "In the Name of the People" after seeing it.

At this time, people who had withdrawn their investment broke their thighs and sighed.

"What a pity, the reversal happened too quickly!"

"Hey"

Even the reports are encouraging it.

"The lineup of modern dramas: "In the Name of the People" creates a new look and feel for political dramas!"

"Dozens of powerful stars have joined the cast. Whether it is a grand structure with a rigorous structure or a thrilling narrative style, "In the Name of the People" will refresh the viewing experience of domestic political dramas!"

"."

"I won't go. You go or send someone to go."

Li Mu shook his head. It wouldn't matter if he was in the imperial capital, but it would be fine if he was far away in Nanjing.

"Okay, Mr. Li."

Not long after Liu Weijuan left, Lu Yu knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. Li, Maoyan Culture Zheng Zhihao, Mr. Zheng would like to make an appointment with you."
