1.24-2.24, the theater movie has disappeared for a month, how is your movie watching life?
From the collective announcement of the Spring Festival film withdrawal, theaters in various places have closed their doors, the movie market has been reset to zero until no new films have been released. In the past month, going to the theater to watch movies, the most basic way of life entertainment, has disappeared in our lives , And the time of its return is currently unknown.
In the past month when there were no theater movies, how did everyone watch movies? What new tricks are there in the way and experience of watching movies? How deeply do you miss the movie theater? What kind of predictions does the disappearance of movie theaters have for the future of movie watching life? With these questions, I took a sir survey and visited everyone's movie-watching life, and collected some short stories. Behind these stories, maybe it is the answer about the future.
"A movie every day"
Unfortunately, Chacha's hometown has become the hardest hit area of the new crown pneumonia, and she has also become a "disaster victim" trapped in Wuhan. Right now, going out to buy food is a luxury, let alone I went to the cinema to watch a movie, but Chacha herself is a real fan of the movie, so in the past month, her movie watching life was summarized as "a movie every day". Among the 31 movies she has watched in the past month,
almost covers the new resources of the past month, including the current Austrian movies "Little Women", "Jojo's Fantasy World", and "The Pope's Inheritance, "Speed Car King", etc., there are also "Sunshine", "Black Water", "Christian Eucharist" and so on. Choosing these films, one is that this month happens to be Oscar month. For many years, Xia Xia, who has been actively participating in Oscar predictions, wants to watch the nominated films before the awards ceremony, and "a blessing in disguise", this year has become her most watched Oscar nominated film. The whole year. At the same time, some movies are watched with family members who like to watch crime and social incident movies.

Every evening after "News Broadcast", it is Chacha and Dad’s fixed movie viewing time. The father and daughter sit on the sofa and spend two together. Hours of movie time, in Cha Cha recalls-"There is almost no holiday where I can have time like this, and I have been watching a movie every night with my family for a month."
Of course, at the same time, Cha Cha is also looking forward to the movie theater's resumption of work. In her words, it is "return to work! Wait for you to cry." If it were not affected by the epidemic, some of the Austrian departments were originally scheduled to be scheduled in mid-to-late February. She plans to go to the theater to watch the film, especially in the epidemic area. The "closing the city" and "footing" also make daily life more boring and boring. For Chacha, watching a movie is the greatest spiritual comfort, although it is still I don’t know when this "no freedom" state will end, but she has made up her mind that "the first thing I do when I get out of prison is to go to the cinema."
"Watching a movie is something that needs to be done seriously"
With the variety of methods and the maturity and segmentation of movie audiences, cinema viewing does not necessarily become the only choice for all audiences. For example, Xiaov doesn’t like to watch domestic movies at all. Watching foreign movies on the Internet accounted for 90%, so even if the Spring Festival stalls open as scheduled, Xiao V may go to the theater 1-2 times. Therefore, Xiao V’s attitude towards the disappearance of the Spring Festival movie theaters is generally the same— — “Because I don’t have too many expectations for domestic movies.” As a street office worker in a second-tier city, as the epidemic intensified during the Spring Festival, Xiao V’s work was also more busy than usual, so her work in the past month The amount of movie watching is not much, I only watched "Sunshine" and "Although I just lost my phone". The former is because I like Xu Guanghan and the film has a good reputation. The latter is a resource that has been stored in the phone for a long time, so I can watch it during the holiday. It's over. However, as mentioned in the previous article, Xiao V is more devoted to foreign movies. He originally planned to go to the theater to watch a few imported Austrian movies in late February, but the current movie viewing plan has also been postponed. She said: “Others say that after the epidemic is over, I’m going to eat and go shopping. I want to go to the cinema to watch a few movies.”
also likes to watch foreign films and Sengge, and he is mostly just watching movies. Going to the theater to watch imported movies, so talking about the movie-watching life in the past month, he said, “You can vote with your feet to find movies on the Internet. The choice is wide and the cost is low. You can watch movies that are not available in China, or you can look down upon the eye. It was closed immediately, none of these movie theaters could do it."
In Seng Ge’s life, watching movies is not entertainment, but a way of life-“Watching movies is something that needs to be done seriously. When watching movies, you must concentrate and think constantly. But recently, staying at home for a long time is upset. I can’t concentrate on thinking often, and I watch fewer movies.” So in the past month, Senge only watched four Austrian movies, and more time was actually used for entertainment. For example, playing games is something that doesn’t require concentration. Very easy thing. Compared with the movie-watching life, Senge has cleared 3 games in the past month.

“You still have to have a sense of ceremony when watching movies.”
For Internet product manager Xiao Guo, his own in the past month His movie-watching life has been seriously affected, especially the disappearance of the Spring Festival files, which made him missing a large part of his movie-watching life for almost every must-see during the Spring Festival files in the past. Originally, only old movies would be watched online and have a good reputation. He will always enter the theater for new movies, and for the past month he could only watch movies on a projector at home. Fortunately, he also has a set of projectors that his friends gave when he got married. When the machine opens, the curtain is pulled, and embracing his wife, it is also a sweet comfort.

Of course, the number of movies he watched in the past month has been much less compared to the same period. He only watched "Dollit's Fantasy Adventure" and "That in My Body" "Guy", "Flu", "Half Comedy" and "囧Mom". Some of these videos are recommended by Weibo, Official Account, and Douyin, because Xiao Guo usually likes to watch short videos with various film explanations. When he sees interesting videos, he will look for the full movie, and there are other things like "Half "A Comedy" is a theater movie that I have paid more attention to before. When I see the film online, I will take the advantage of this holiday to watch it at home.
Looking back on the movie-watching life this month, Xiao Guo also bluntly said that he feels a bit regretful-"The ritual of watching movies has become much weaker. Originally, going to the movies during the Spring Festival is not only watching movies, but also planning a family gathering with parents. , But now watching movies is just watching movies. I don’t want to watch it when I am half watching it. Thinking back about it is the same as not watching it. But it saves a lot of money.” A similar experience of
also exists in Yuzu, who is a film and television practitioner. In the past month, her movie-watching life was also quite monotonous. She only watched some new and old movies through online resources, including this year’s Austrian movies, "Influenza" and "Infectious Diseases", which became popular again due to the current epidemic atmosphere. There are also some classic movies such as "The Thief of Time" and "True Love First".
However, while the movie-watching life is relatively monotonous, Yuzu's entertainment methods are also enriched. Due to the epidemic, and the extension of the Spring Festival holiday, she also learned to play and eat chicken and watched 8 dramas. For her, although she did not see It’s a pity that the several films on the Spring Festival file, but she is not very dependent on cinema viewing, and she has spent a full month in entertainment. And with the increase in the frequency of watching movies at home, Yuzi is also considering starting a home projector to improve the quality of family watching movies.

is also used to watching movies at home and the studio manager Lao Li. Although he is an offline projection staff, he has been watching movies for many years. I am also used to the average ratio of cinema viewing and family viewing. I usually like to use mobile phone projection or APP to watch movies at home. In the past month, Lao Li watched several Austrian movies at home and the online premiere of "囧Mom" "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" and so on.

Regarding the matter of not going to the cinema for a month, Lao Li also said bluntly, "It's nothing, don't go to the cinema to save money. ". And after this "epidemic", Lao Li from a working perspective also said: "This time some audiences will increase their mobile phone and home viewing, which may wash out some of the audience. "
" The cinema supports my view. In fact, as one of the entertainment methods, movies have long been facing the impact of the rise of multiple entertainment content. In recent years, entertainment content such as dramas, variety shows, short videos, live broadcasts and other entertainment content have flourished and the modern life entertainment methods have evolved. In the entertainment arena, movies have long been no longer the overlord, so when the topic of "watching life" was thrown at Sister Nan and Xiaolin, they all said that they hadn't watched movies much.
butTo be more specific, Sister Nan also watched movies, basically through short film commentary videos. She would take a look at the movie when there were movies in theaters on weekdays, but she would not miss it if there were no new movies released in the past month. , Because countless variety shows, dramas, and short video programs have filled her entertainment life. In the words of Sister Nan, “I would go to the cinema before, but now the cinema is gone, so I just don’t watch it.”

Sister Nan stayed at home for the past month and has fun with her husband every day on various apps, such as watching "Kung Fu" on station b. The encounter between barrage culture and classic old movies is more fun than watching new movies. For example, they will also watch various live movies on Douyu, such as "Underworld", "Initial D", "The God of Cookery", and "Longmen Inn" "Wait, she followed and watched what others ordered, immersed in the heat wave of netizens interacting with gusto.
and sister Nan are in the same state as Xiaolin. In Xiaolin’s entertainment life, novels are ranked first and variety shows are second. In the past month, she has read "Full-time Master" with 5 million words. Variety shows, as for movies, I watched it with the whole family after the launch of "囧Mom" on New Year's Day. In addition, the so-called "movie-watching life" does not exist.
"My movie watching is supported by the movie theater. You can't get distracted during the two hours in the movie theater, and the movie watching experience is different. I still like going to the theater," Xiao Lin said, and of course, similar things Nan said Over--"I like to be'forced' to watch movies". So an interesting phenomenon can be seen that for audiences like Nan Jie and Xiao Lin, movies are not the mainstream way of their entertainment life, but they still need movies, mainly cinema movies.
If you are outside the story of
, looking back at the movie-watching life of the past month, in fact, everyone is continuing the story with the movie in the way they like. For the absence of theatrical movies that has never occurred, everyone Behind the different reactions of, it also reflects the attitude of users towards cinemas and cinemas.
In recent years, with the diversified development of the entertainment industry, the development of movies is also facing greater challenges, especially cinema movies and cinemas. From the perspective of movie content, the creation and development of theater-line movies are quite limited, which leads to a relatively single subject of movie content (relative to foreign countries). However, in the Internet era, domestic theater-line movies have already joined the global competition, so theaters are released China’s domestic films first face competition with global high-quality content. In this competition, some audiences may be lost, such as audiences like Xiaov and Senge.
From the perspective of movie viewing methods, with the modernization of lifestyles and the evolution of consumer concepts, family movie viewing has become more and more mainstream. With the development of technology and hardware support, the family movie viewing experience has also been upgraded. Modern urbanites who are deeply influenced by the house culture also prefer to watch movies at home, like Xiao Guo and Yuzi, who have a soft spot for home projectors.
At the same time, from the perspective of the entire entertainment content competition environment, dramas, variety shows, short videos, live broadcasts and other content that are more leisure and entertainment than movies have risen in an all-round way and have a strong momentum. There is no doubt that they have become rivals with movies to grab users. , Even if the fans are like a cross, they will watch variety shows every day, not to mention Nan and Xiaolin in the above story. Their entertainment time is obviously inclined to variety shows and dramas.
These problems faced by cinema movies have undoubtedly become more prominent in the past month, and they will also become more severe problems when cinemas resume work and cinema movies return to the market in the future. A few days ago, a news about movie theaters preparing to resume work went on a hot search. The top few comments below the hot search were all criticisms or scolding. More netizens believe that the epidemic has not yet improved and theaters should not be started. During the interview with sir,
also asked everyone for their opinions. Most of the answers said that they can understand and support the resumption of conditional theaters, but they will not go to the theaters for the time being. It can also be seen that even if the theater resumes work, it will take a long time for the audience to return to the theater. What kind of content can call everyone back to the theater? Xiao Guo's answer may represent the majority-"Don't delay me from watching "Black Widow" and "Venom 2," it's all easy to discuss."
In the process of discussing movies with you and reviewing the life of watching movies, it is certain that movies are still loved and needed by many people, because inRegarding the question of "whether movie theaters will disappear", everyone said "no". As a part of movies, despite the diversified ways of watching movies and the diversified forms of movies, watching movies in movie theaters is still a classic among classics. To some extent, the integrity of some movies includes movie theaters. Of course, in the future, there will be more forms of viewing environments and experiences. In Nan sister's imagination, she will take part in an interactive film with a VR headset, lingering with the male protagonist, and others will star in this passage. The love story was sad.
After all, everyone still loves movies.
In these movie watching stories, we have seen the crisis and vitality of the movie, and we have also seen everyone's persistence and love for the movie. The epidemic has not ended, and the movie cannot really return. But when the movie returns, we should all be there.
