Disaster Artist

The night is thick, suitable for carnival—

…The detached theater in the Changhe District of Anqiao.

This is a new theater chain, which fully fits the aesthetic orientation of young people nowadays, and even forms linkages with local coffee shops, bookstores, and flower shops to establish a brand-new artistic youth community. Although the time is short, it can be regarded as Internet celebrity cinema.

"At the beginning, how did you finish the long shot at the beginning?"

"The choreography, the mirroring, the scheduling, it's amazing, ahhh, my hands are shaking..."

"Actually, the dance is not difficult. I thought, how about we watch it again a few times, take down the dance steps, and then plan a flash mob event?"

"Wow, wow, that's a good idea!"

"I, I, I, I want to participate too. I will sign up immediately."

"Can dance idiots also participate? I can't believe that I actually cried watching the opening sequence."

"Me too, I thought I was the only one."

The bustling discussions couldn't stop at all, and some people even started dancing from memory on the spot, trying to reproduce the movie clips.

…The Qingshan Cinema in the Langge Zhulang District.

Long queue!

The dense line has extended from the movie theater all the way to the street. In December's Langge, in the freezing cold and snowy conditions, people are wrapped in down jackets and waiting at the door of the movie theater. Such a grand occasion is definitely once a year. Last year It's "Jedi Knight," and this year it's "Starfall."

The reason is very simple:

Qingshan Cinema is one of only ten theaters in Langge that screen "City of Starfall". The small number is indeed rare in first-tier big cities. People forget that the number of branches of major theater chains here is declining.

At the same time, the Qingshan Cinema in Zhulang District is the only theater chain that opens overnight. After the midnight show, the cinema stays up all night and arranges three more screenings. For ticket sales, only offline tickets are available for queuing up to buy tickets.

Thus, the grand occasion appeared.

Even the local TV station of Lange was alarmed, and they came to interview on the spot in the middle of the night. When the reporter saw the long queue of more than 1,000 people, they were frightened and their legs went limp. Song really hasn't seen such a sight for a long time.

However, considering the scarcity of theaters, and the rule of "rare things are more expensive", it seems that it is not so exaggerated.

…Wind City Lakeside Avenue Summer Solstice Cinema Line.

The crowd was onlookers on three floors and three floors outside, because the police car was dispatched, and the red and blue flashing alarm lights dispelled the cold and strong wind of the night.

"What's going on? Why did the police call the police after watching a movie?"

"I also heard the previous rumors, not sure if it is true or not. It is said that two high school students eloped and ran away from home, just to come to watch the midnight show of director Lu Qian's new work."

"Elope? Is it necessary to be so violent?"

"I don't know either. It's really too bizarre, but because it's so bizarre, it might be true."

The melon-eating crowd gathered in twos and threes couldn't tell the truth from the fake, and they began to discuss the movie that will debut tonight while whispering.

From the astonishment at the technical level to the exquisiteness at the narrative level, from the resonance at the emotional level to the rise of the core of the theme, praise and shock surged through the crowd, with joy and excitement clearly written on each face, talking and talking He didn't hold back the spit from his mouth and danced with his hands and feet.

Then-

The police officers who were on the scene responsible for clearing the crowd did not hold back their gazes, "...so, is it really that good-looking?"

"Of course!" The surrounding voices came in unison and one after another, so that the policeman was also taken aback.

The little brother scratched his head, "I've heard of it too. But I'm on duty tonight, so I can't read it."

"Let me tell you, you must watch it, the biggest surprise of the year, even if you raise your expectations, you will never be disappointed, the director is amazing."

"Yes, yes, it's definitely a surprise. Although it was a surprise from the first scene, but...ah, I won't spoil it, it's good anyway."

One, two, even the people at the scene did not realize that the police officers also gathered in twos and threes. Instead, the incident in the center of the chaos became a foil. No one could confirm what was going on. Not so important anymore.

…Century Park Branch of Gaotan Chaoyue Cinema Line.

This is one of the largest branches of Chaoyue Cinemas in the world, with 32 screens, nearly 5,000 seats, and a garden.

Moreover, it is only across the river from the center of Gaotan. From the perspective of geographical distance, it is a bit far away, but in fact, it takes 15 minutes to take the subway to get there smoothly. On the contrary, it is more convenient and closer than many other branches of Chaoyue Cinema Line. The city center is a golden location.

Tonight, Century Park ushered in a complete carnival. More than 10,000 spectators flocked to this detached theater, just to enjoy the midnight show for the first time.

The turbulent crowd once caused the subway station to be paralyzed after the movie was shown; but the audience didn't mind, they stopped and stayed in Century Park, returned to the movie theater, and talked at night by candlelight, just like a film festival. It's all about the movie and only about the movie.

"...To be honest, I think the story is too simple and too weak..."

"I agree! But objectively speaking, the director's movie is never based on the plot, isn't it UU Reading www.uukanshu.com? Even the most dramatic 'lover' is not."

"The director's movie is not brain-burning or plot type, the story is just a framework, what is really worth watching is the director's storytelling technique..."

"All right, all right, let me just say something, you can't wait to refute me, I didn't say the movie is not good, but, I hope the plot of the movie can be fuller."

"I agree with your point of view, but my opinion is slightly different. Musical and musical movies are originally focused on visual experience, and the weak plot is a disadvantage. In fact, it is the same as action movies. You can see the director's attempt in the 'Raid' series, and he knows , It is too difficult for the plot of an action movie to turn into a flower, so he focuses on the language of the lens, and uses details to portray the characters and improve the story."

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it."

Praise is not pure praise, there are criticisms, objections, and complaints, but all of them are based on the film, and rational analysis and discussion are carried out. Only by acknowledging the deficiencies that exist objectively can we look at them more comprehensively and objectively. A work also becomes the nourishment for the continuous progress of the work.

The audience who are detached from the theater seems to always be like this, keeping a little calm amidst the frenzy, but it is precisely this kind of reason that brings them together—

They must first admit that no movie is perfect, some people like it and some people hate it, at least they don't feel it. Only in this way can they look at each work objectively and calmly, even Lu Qian is no exception.

One point, one point at a time, theater chains are lit up one after another around the world like sparks of fire. Although the number is small, they still spread mightily, and finally formed a prairie fire. All the theaters can feel the pavement of this heat wave.
