Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 687 Outdated Popcorn Process
One evening, Zhou Hao took Xu Lingyue into the cinema.

Both of them were very honest, without any disguises such as masks or hats, and they were exposed directly in the cinema.

Then, in less than five minutes, the couple was surrounded by moviegoers in the theater, and the scene became a mess.

The cinema also urgently dispatched security forces to maintain order, fearing any accidents might occur.

The couple are both humble people, and they accepted everyone's requests for photos and autographs. It was not until the movie they had booked was about to start that the moviegoers and fans at the scene let them go.

Then when the audience in the central screening hall saw them enter, the whole place instantly boiled over. Hundreds of audience members whipped out their cell phones and started taking pictures of the young couple.

Instead of hiding, the two of them held hands and waved, cooperating with everyone in taking photos.

Seeing this scene, many people secretly sighed and admired them, they deserved to be famous, they really didn't have any celebrity airs at all...

Look at the two stars who came here for the premiere yesterday... Haha, their status is not even a toe lower than Xu Lingyue, but their arrogance is unambiguous.

Alas, shop around and you’ll have to throw away the goods!
Seeing that the movie was about to start, the scene was still in chaos. Zhou Hao could only stand up and shout, "Everyone, please watch the movie quietly first, and try not to disturb others. If anyone wants autographs or photos, please wait until the end of the show. Don't worry, I will help you tie her up, she can't run away."

As soon as the words fell, the audience burst into laughter.

After the laughter, the scene gradually began to quiet down, which made the security guards and staff who rushed over to maintain order breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Hao and Xu Lingyue went out today to watch two movies in total, the first one was naturally "Operation Storm".

He wanted to see with his own eyes how much value the so-called "Commercial Film Textbook" had!

The opening of the movie is very "industrialized", and it starts with a portrayal of a family conflict - a father who works in a state department and his rebellious teenage daughter quarreling with each other at home. The daughter is extremely mean and belittles her father as worthless.

After seeing this opening, Zhou Hao can basically guess how the plot will develop later - this mean daughter is likely to get into trouble, and then the father goes out alone to go into the dangerous place, and after rescuing his daughter, the two resolve their conflicts and reconcile...

This is already the standard popcorn assembly line routine.

As it turned out, his guess was almost right, and the subsequent plot development really went in this direction.

The plot is not entirely new, but at least it is extremely boring. He has seen many of the same production-line works...

But the whole movie was so noisy that I couldn't even fall asleep.

Especially the part in the middle where the old father saves his daughter, it's either a fight or a car chase, or a car chase or an explosion...

In Zhou Hao's opinion, this exquisite special effect is perhaps the only thing worth praising about the entire film.

When the movie started in the second half, he clearly heard Xu Lingyue yawning from the side.

Zhou Hao couldn't help but whisper in her ear: "Do you think it looks good?"

"Too boring." Xu Lingyue also came over and whispered, "After so many years, it seems that their routine has never changed... I thought it was fresh and exciting before, but now I feel bored."

Zhou Hao listened and laughed, that's right!

Twenty or thirty years ago, when the Hollywood film industry was the leader in the world, it was also the peak period of the United States' hard power. At that time, Hollywood popcorn blockbusters were undoubtedly the "pearls" of the film industry, and all practitioners had to look up to them!

Whether it is box office data or influence in the circle, they have all had extremely glorious historical memories!
However, more than 20 years have passed, and they are still immersed in this narrative mode of individual heroes saving the world, still thinking that people all over the world are still looking up to them and worshipping them, completely unaware that the times have changed and the world has already turned upside down. At least in the Chinese market, this set of popcorn templates has long been ineffective.

One reason is because you get bored with it. No matter how delicious something is, you will get tired of it if you eat it every day!

Secondly, and most importantly, the rise of China's national strength has gradually awakened the self-confidence and identity of national culture. More and more people are beginning to realize that this kind of personal heroism is fundamentally contrary to the DNA of the Chinese people!

There is no God, no Superman and no Savior. In the face of difficulties, everyone can be a hero!

Man can conquer nature; this is the element engraved in the DNA of the Chinese people!
The three views are different, so it is natural that this type of movie is gradually falling out of favor in China.

The Chinese film market has gradually begun to cancel various local protection mechanisms, allowing imported films to compete fairly in various periods throughout the year, which in itself is a manifestation of extreme self-confidence.

However, these arrogant "foreigners" simply cannot see this point. Faced with box office results that are getting worse year by year, they can only use various excuses to cover up.

These include but are not limited to: the Chinese film market has an invisible local protection mechanism, there are behind-the-scenes black hands who deliberately suppress the screening share of imported films, and Chinese audiences are too ignorant to appreciate imported films...

Anyway, he just refuses to admit that his narrative is outdated.

This movie "Operation Storm" once again perfectly reflects their true colors.

Still the same recipe, still the same taste, just bad wine in a new bottle.

As for the overwhelming "good reviews" and flattery on the Internet, you can figure out what's going on just by thinking about it.

After all, the United States's money-throwing farming technology is a truly unique skill that is unparalleled in the world!

But it doesn't matter. As long as there is no powerful force that comes out to interfere forcibly, this situation will definitely not last long.

After all, cinemas are also profit-making places, and the bosses all want to make money!

Movies with high reputation and high attendance are the bosses’ favorites, because they can not only sell more tickets, but also attract more viewers and drive the consumption of various beverages and snacks...

Hayek's big hand will teach them how to behave!
After the long 140 minutes, Zhou Hao stood up and stretched.

He turned around and glanced at Xu Lingyue secretly, and they both saw the sleepiness and bitter smile in each other's eyes.

More than a hundred yuan wasted in vain!

Naturally, their second movie-watching destination is "Lost and Love".

As the number two seed in this May Day period, it performed well at the box office and on the first and second days.

Zhou Hao also wanted to see what the Taiwanese director was like.

As for the third one, "The Scarlet Color", Zhou Hao had no intention of watching it at all.

He doesn't have the habit of spending money to make himself uncomfortable. Only a fool would give money to those rubbish movies that he knows are designed to launder gold coins.

As for The Stone, he wasn't worried at all.

Real gold is not afraid of fire!
