usually see in movie theaters are the latest movies, because only they represent the latest market. When these movies are shown, the upstream and downstream of the movie industry can get the greatest return from box office revenue. If movie theaters only show old movies, there won't be too much box office revenue, and today's film workers can only be idle. But if you want to watch some classic old movies, there are still some channels to watch.
Channel One: Video Software and CCTV Channel 6
The first channel is video software and CCTV Channel. As long as you are willing to find it, you can still find many old movies to watch on the video website, but the foreign movie version may not be the old version you saw that year. With the popularity of video software, there are not as many people in the Central Liukan as in the past, but this channel still has the value of this channel.
has some very rare movies, which can still be seen in the Central Six, such as some classic foreign films dubbed by Shanghai Translation Film Studio. These movies still look full of charm because they retain the dubbing of the year, which is very different from the feeling of listening to English and watching subtitles today. Dubbing at that time was definitely another art. It's not that some translations today are just lip-synching. These films are often screened after 10 o'clock at night, and interested audiences can pay attention. Sometimes you can still encounter multiple days of continuous screenings, and that is the festival for these old audiences.
Channel 2: China Film Archive
The second channel, that is where you can see the real big screen version, instead of staring at the TV or mobile phone, and in many cases it is the restored HD version-China Film Archive . 365 days a year, the Film Archive shows one or two movies almost every day, with additional shows on Saturdays and Sundays. Many excellent old domestic films and external films can be seen here. There is a special cinema in the
library. The cinema in Xiaoxitian, Beijing has five to six hundred seats and the screen is also very large. It is very enjoyable to watch some rare movies. In the past two years, the library has opened a new theater in Baiziwan, east of Beijing, on a smaller scale, but you can also see some rare films.
I have watched many movies in these two theaters, including the restored "Journey to the West", the more rare "Goddess" by Ruan Lingyu, and the domestic films "Bath" and "Love Mala Tang". Don't look at the old movies, because the movie is classic, the seats are limited, and many times you will find that the seats are full. Fortunately, some classic films will be re-screened at intervals, so it is not too regrettable to miss one.
Watching movies here costs as little as 10 yuan and as high as two or three hundred.
Channel 3: Oral History Research Center of Communication University of China
The third channel is Cui Yongyuan's Oral History Research Center, located at Communication University of China. Xiao Cui did "Legend of Movies", so he became friends with many old filmmakers. He also loves old movies so much that he shows a movie every month in the small theater of the school library. The conditions of the
theater are not as good as those of the China Film Archive, but fortunately, the films shown are worth a hard time. For example, I've watched "Titanic", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Furong Town", "Sunny Day", and "Farewell My Concubine" were also screened here, but nothing happened that day.
There is no fee to watch a movie here, but you need to reserve a seat in advance.
The big screen version of the old movies is a welfare for fans.
There is another situation, that is, after the restoration of some old movies many years ago, they can be returned to the theaters, such as the previous "Titanic", "Sweet Honey", "My Neighbor Totoro" , And "Sea Pianist" which is currently being shown. The advantage of
old film re-screening is that some classic movies were only seen on rented discs and watched on TV and mobile phones, but there was no chance to see them on the big screen for the first time. The re-screening of these films gives audiences who like these films a chance to enter the theater. For old movie fans, this is a rare benefit.
