Not discussing the specific quality of the film, the first screening's popularity alone was absolutely unprecedented.
"That blue color, sounds like an art film."
"What art film, didn't you see the trailer? It's a full-on visual feast, I read online that it wasn't called this before; it was changed when they set the release date."
"Who cares what kind of movie it is, this film had an investment of 300 million US Dollars, its production budget made history in world cinema, it definitely won't disappoint, plus it's Pei Yunxi as the female lead, charge and it's done!"
The usual movie-going audience is mostly young couples.
But this midnight screening was a little different.
Loads of single guys called up friends, going in groups, and families coming out in full force was not uncommon.
Young people support their idols.
Older folks support the culture of their nation.
Although the ticket prices are indeed not cheap, over seventy each, who cares?
