"Lost" is scheduled for the first day of the first lunar month, which is actually a very risky decision.

Anyone who knows a little about movie schedules and box office knows that the first month schedule is indeed a very important period of time, and the long Spring Festival holiday will definitely attract a lot of box office.

But during the family reunion, there are a few people who are willing to watch a movie with deep meaning and profound meaning.

Moreover, "Lost" is a literary film, not a commercial film.

"Lost" did not win an award at the film festival. The only thing related to the film was Huo Zhang, who won the title of Best Actor for "Lost".But this movie has already caused a sensation in the country when it was publicized in various ways. In addition, it is Huo Zhang's gold-winning work. Everyone is looking forward to what kind of story it will be.

But when they saw the scheduled date, the media collectively fell silent—on such a special day, who would like to watch an unhappy story with their families?

I don’t know that the media has this idea, and each theater also considered the particularity of the film background of "Lost", carefully selected the number of films scheduled for the initial release, and communicated with the film distribution.

Obviously, the distribution department of "Lost" has long been prepared for the concerns of the media and theaters.After the failure of the film festival, the investors and the distributors met several times, and adjusted all the subsequent distribution promotion plans.Until the day before the film was officially finalized, they were still holding a meeting with lights on.

But maybe, this determined file was successful.

In the early morning of the New Year's Eve, when the national TV station reported the number in the early morning, the movie "Lost" was released.

On the first day of the first lunar month, "Lost", the opening drama of the new year, accounted for 24.6% of the film schedule, and within twelve hours, the cumulative box office reached 6000 million.

That night, "Lost" topped the real-time box office analysis list with a cumulative box office of 9000 million.And high-quality film reviews also appeared one after another in various forums and Weibo.Many girls who went to see the male god, after watching the whole movie, walked out of the theater crying, and before finishing their emotions, they publicized on their respective Weibo and social media that this movie was not favored at first. schedule movies.

On the third day, "Lost" scored as high as 8.9 in a certain eye. This is among the top scores among the major films released during the Lunar New Year this year.

The box office has increased sharply every day, and on the third day it has broken 2 million. The theater has temporarily adjusted the film schedule in consideration of the audience's viewing needs for the film.Almost at the same time, the number of shows of "Lost" increased from four shows a day to six shows a day, and in some large theaters, it directly increased to more than eight shows.

After watching Weibo news for three days, Bai Huaijin finally found time to go to the cinema.

Huo Zhang is still very busy with work. Although it was agreed that after the release of "Lost", we will go to the cinema together to watch a show, but because of the status of "actor king", domestic endorsements and interview notices are flying from all directions like snowflakes .Although Qiu Yun helped screen out some irresistible endorsements and interviews, for Huo Zhang and Bai Huaijin, the number was still surprisingly large.

There is no way, probably before the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the two of them will have to spend more time together and less together.

Bai Huaijin took Tang Yuan with her, and selected two tickets for corner positions online, but when she arrived at the screening hall, she realized that the entire screening hall was almost done. When they sat down, several people came in one after another.

When the lights in the projection hall are dimmed, the sound of biting popcorn and talking can still be heard in the hall.But when the music of "Lost" sounded, all the voices stopped.

At the beginning of "Lost", there is a deep male voice narrating--

"When a person falls to the ground, it means that countless different roads are buried in front of him. These roads are criss-crossed and twisted, just like balls of thread that cannot be untied. You will never know, This step forward, is it right? Maybe, walking along this road, you will find yourself back to the original point. And, you will never know who you pass by when you are moving forward .”

When the voice was speaking, there was only a hazy figure in the middle of the screen on the big screen, as if covered by a layer of tulle, walking away step by step.When the voice gradually fell, the camera also slowly zoomed up, walking with the bird, and suddenly zoomed to another place.

In the picture, in the typical architectural style of the Wanqingyuan family, with the continuous movement of the camera, Ye Kaiwen, one of the protagonists, appeared in the picture.The roast chicken casually thrown in the servant's arms, the out-of-tune ditties, the silver dollars thrown up and down in the hands, an image of an ignorant character is displayed on the screen.

"The madam has a fit, I'm afraid she's about to give birth right now. Master, go and have a look, I'll ask the midwife to help deliver the baby!"

"Cut up the roast chicken just now, and bring a jug of wine to the master. Madam should give birth to the young master after eating, and it won't be too late to go see it then."

When the fat nanny came out to congratulate Ye Kaiwen with the infant child in her arms, as a father, this man just glanced at the child lightly, named him casually, and didn't ask any more questions.

But when the camera came back after another round, it was a young woman who finally hugged her infant son, her eyes were red, and she resolutely left the back of the Ye family.

The camera followed the maid who was holding the young master, and walked slowly outside the hall, the background sound was mixed with the shouts of gambling.The screen quickly switched, the hall was full of smog, and many strange people gathered. Their master Ye Kaiwen was standing in front of these people, with his sleeves rolled up, loudly yelling to buy and leave.

The camera turned around again, and the former mansions of fertile land were paid out one after another.The young Ye Kaiwen moved into the dilapidated old house with his son who was waiting to be fed.

Standing in front of the old house with its bare walls, Ye Kaiwen's background looked particularly lonely, but no one would give him sympathy.Then ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

"Father, I'm going out!"

At the beginning of the silence, the picture suddenly brightened with a clear greeting, and then saw the young man Ye Shenzhi push open the crumbling door and come out.

At this time, two smooth and coherent calligraphy characters appeared on the screen--

"get lost".

*****

In the last scene, Ye Kaiwen, who finally found his son, stood in front of Ye Shenzhi in military uniform, looked at his son whose arm was injured by the gunfire, raised his hand to untie the worn jacket with cotton wool on his body, and slowly Putting on the military uniform, he took the gun from his son's shoulder.

Before the curtain ended, Ye Kaiwen, who was full of hair, roared, "I'll fight with you!"

When the screen went dark again and the ending song was sung slowly, no one in the auditorium stood up.Everyone sat in their seats, and even when the lights came on at the end, they all sat quietly in their seats, watching the list of cast members slowly slide up the left side of the screen.

The sound of sobbing resounded in the auditorium.Bai Huaijin lowered the brim of her hat and sat in her seat without moving.A girl walked by, probably thinking that he was a little strange, subconsciously took a second look, and happened to bump into Bai Huaijin who raised her head and met her eyes.

"You are……"

Waiting for someone to call out.Bai Huaijin hurriedly uttered a voice to stop her screaming, and curled her lips to hiss.

The girl quickly covered her mouth, nodded hurriedly, turned her head to look at her friend who was urging her, and looked at Bai Huaijin reluctantly.The latter stood up calmly, hugged her gently, then lowered his head and mixed with the crowd out of the auditorium.

Before leaving the cinema, Bai Huaijin looked back at the poster of "Lost" again, and then sat in the car to go home contentedly.

Tang Yuan was driving in front and looked in the rearview mirror. Bai Huaijin was sitting in the back row with his head down and playing with his mobile phone.

"How much is the box office now?" Since the movie was released, Bai Huaijin has checked the real-time box office of the movie almost every half hour. Tang Yuan is a little indulgent about his behavior of not leaving his mobile phone after work these days.

"Today is the fourth day, and the box office is almost [-] million."

Bai Huaijin replied and refreshed Weibo.The front page of Weibo is full of information about "Lost". Many of the big Vs he followed early on had a good relationship and contributed to the box office when the film was released. .

He watched a few, and most of them were full of praise, and there were also bad reviews, but the comments below all looked like they shared the honor and disgrace of "Lost", and they all choked whether they were jealous.

He read the critical Weibo carefully, pondered for a while, forwarded the film review and replied: "First of all, I am very grateful to the audience for the film review. "Lost" is not a perfect film. Like all films, it has Everyone sees the story and has their own opinions. As one of the leading actors, I welcome any comments, whether it is criticism or praise, which is what every movie should accept."

After Bai Huaijin typed this string of texts, she forwarded them along with the reply.That night, before his name, there was another Huo Zhang.

Huo Yingdi, who didn't post on Weibo all the year round, almost all of them were related to Bai Huaijin when he posted on Weibo.Naturally, the fans of the two companies happily yelled "official candy", but then they softened their attitude towards those who disliked the movie. Except for a few extreme criticisms, there was nowhere to see it. The signs of pinching up.

That night, Bai Huaijin, who was lying on the bed and scrolling through Weibo, repeatedly looked at the name of Huo Zhang in front of her ID, and couldn't help throwing down her phone and ran to the balcony to look at the next door.

After returning from the filming of "Heavenly Realm", Bai Huaijin entrusted Qiu Yun to help find a house near Huo Zhang's villa.In this way, even if the media finds out that the two often go in and out together, it can be interpreted as a visit between neighbors.In the end, it should be said that it was luck or something. The villa next door to Huo Zhang was going to be sold together with the furniture because the owner's family immigrated abroad.After negotiating the price, Bai Huaijin bought the house directly and became neighbors with Huo Zhang.

The night wind was chilly.Because of the Chinese New Year, the nearest villa area is very lively. At night, there will be children on the balcony or in the yard "swish" fireworks.

Bai Huaijin stood on the balcony, a few stars hung in the dark sky.The moon hangs at the highest point, and the curved arc cloud will cover it all as soon as it comes over.He turned his head to look at the next door, it was pitch black, and Huo Zhang didn't go home.

During the Spring Festival last year, the two of them spent an unforgettable few days in Paris.This year, the two places will be separated. If you say you are not lonely, Bai Huaijin will laugh.

A child ran from the other side of the villa area to the open space outside Bai Huaijin's house, laughing and playing.He looked down and recognized that it was the grandchild of a family living nearby. Then he looked at the fireworks in the child's hand, and then stood still on the balcony, wanting to watch the child set off the fireworks to make sure it was safe before returning. house.

During the Chinese New Year, every household is run around by their children.The fireworks were lit by a few children. When the first firework exploded, Bai Huaijin heard the children's laughter clearly.He looked up and watched the fireworks bloom one after another in the sky, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.

Just as he was smiling, a child's exclamation suddenly came from below.Subconsciously, he thought that something had happened, so he quickly lowered his head to look, only to see the youngest child being hugged and held up his buttocks, while the other older children were clinging to the man's side, looking at him Light the biggest firework.

At the moment when the fireworks exploded, the light illuminated the surroundings for an instant, and then dimmed for an instant.But Bai Huaijin could clearly see the slightly curved lips on the man's unsmiling face as always.
