If you have money, you will become stronger.

Finally, before the premiere, the box office pre-sales of"Oldboy" were more than 50 million. This result is not very good, but it is not bad either. If it weren't for the previous round of slander by major theater chains, this pre-sale would have been more than 20 million.

There are a lot of scumbags on the Internet, laughing at the fact that"Oldboy" cannot be pre-sold and will be sold out.

The bosses of major movie theater chains are already celebrating behind the scenes.

However, Lin Beifan was not worried.

Pre-sales won't work, but"Oldboy" will definitely counterattack with word-of-mouth.

In the last time and space,"Oldboy" was just a short film with unsatisfactory shooting quality. However, with its empathetic story background and songs that touched the heart, it made countless people shed tears after listening to it.

Now that it has been made into a big movie, the tear-jerking plot and elements have been retained, and the quality is guaranteed. Lin Beifan still doesn't believe that such a movie will hit the street.

The premiere ceremony was held at the Star Cinema headquarters in Jiangnan City.

On that day, many spectators came and the seats were packed.

The interaction between the audience and the creative staff was very lively.

Although the middle-aged actors who play the two male protagonists are not well-known yet, they have already left some impression in people's minds with the movie"Oldboy".

I believe that with the popularity of the movie, the two of them will become an instant hit.

As the president of Starlight Pictures, Wu Qianmei is the most famous among the people present due to her talent and appearance, and has many fans across the country.

In order to get off to a good start, she invited Lin Beifan here. She heard that this would bring good luck.

Lin Beifan was speechless. He felt that this was more koi than koi.

"Do you think our movie will be successful?"Wu Qianmei asked in a low voice, her voice a little nervous.

This is the first big project since the establishment of Starlight Pictures. It is highly anticipated. She is under a lot of pressure and cannot tolerate being nervous.

"It will be successful. If you drag me here, will it be successful? Lin Beifan joked

"You said it, if it doesn't work I'll try it for you!"

Lin Beifan was speechless. It's not up to me to decide whether it succeeds or not. Why should I rely on it?

Can I still be more effective than the Bodhisattva?

Finally, the premiere began.

At the premiere, there was a middle-aged man with a tired look on his face. Sitting in the back.

His name is Qiu Xinheng, but others call him Xiao Qiu. He is an ordinary company employee, an extremely ordinary person among all living beings.

Although he is called Xiao Qiu, in fact he is already He is 32 years old. He has been doing a job that he does not like for these years, and he feels very tired both physically and mentally.

He has considered leaving his job, doing what he likes to do, and realizing his dream.

But he has a wife and children , he has to support his family, so he dare not resign and cannot act willfully.

The irritating and boring work and life have smoothed his edges and made him feel like a walking zombie, with no goal and direction, and lost his luster and vitality. The reason why he He came to watch this movie because there was a sentence in the slogan that moved him:"Dreams are like classics, they will never fade with time, but become more precious!"

"Do I still have the right to have a dream?"Xiao Qiu murmured to himself.

The film started to play, and the story returned to the 1980s in the blink of an eye. The dark and mottled teaching building, the old and low wooden tables and chairs, and the dusty blackboard that could never be wiped clean. On the blackboard,"Study hard. , Everyday Upward" slogans, loud and unpleasant ringtones, and school uniforms that are thick, outdated and have to be worn...

A nostalgic atmosphere hit his face, which made him feel very connected, because he was from that era. People.

The film finally gets to the point.

The film has two protagonists, Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai. They can be said to be the two most unprofessional people in the school. They became good friends because they doubted the same music dream. They love Michael Jackson. , and became a popular"idol" on campus because of imitating Michael Jackson. Moreover, they also liked the school beauty at the same time...

However, they did not embark on the road of music because of their dreams. 20 years later, the former school bully Xiao Dabao became a bad wedding host, while Wang Xiaoshuai became the owner of a barber shop, took a fat girl as his wife, and lived an ordinary life. The school beauty they used to like married the already All of this was full of irony in reality for their high school classmate Bao Xiaobai, who had become famous but had been bullied by them in the past.

Later, the difficulties in work and life aroused their desire for dreams. So the two decided to participate Recommended by Bao Xiaobai《**Talent Show" talent show. They formed the"Chopstick Brothers" group and competed with Michael Jackson's dance. Fortunately, their efforts were not in vain and they entered the semi-finals.

However, Xiao Dabao and Bao Xiaobai once had a dispute. As a producer, Bao Xiaobai hinted that the judges would eliminate the"chopstick combination" that is older and not in line with the trend in the next round of competition. The semi-finals required contestants to sing their own original songs, so a movie theme song of the same name"Old Boy", which describes the youthful years, came into being...

Xiaoqiu took it seriously.

The school bully who likes to bully his classmates, the poor student who only knows how to act cool and handsome, the top student who is bullied, everyone dances to Michael Jackson's dance, the familiar song called"Xiao Fang", and the school beauty who is unforgettable...

This scene is so familiar and makes him nostalgic.

However, 20 years later.

Originally, one of the two influential figures with high ambitions could only be a wedding host, but the other opened a hair salon, took an ordinary woman as his wife, and spent all day running around for life, with a face full of exhaustion and confusion, living like this. humble.

The person who was once bullied became famous and became the school beauty they dreamed of.

Idols pass away, as do their dreams.

Want to participate《**Talent Show" regained her dream, but was eliminated by the unspoken rules again.

This is such a bloody reality, and my heart is faintly stung...

Isn't this a portrayal of his life?

He also had a dream back then, and it still exists now, but it has been defeated by reality.

He wants to regain his dream, but he is afraid that the dream will not withstand the wind and rain.

He is more afraid of failure, not being able to support his family, and being sorry for his wife and children.

In order to make a living, I can only live a humble life. Even though I am in my 30s, I am still called"Xiao Qiu" by my peers.

Xiao Qiu really wanted to cry at this time.
