Chapter 1148 Drama Whirlpool
The concept of holiday stalls exists not only in North America, but also in overseas markets. The difference lies in the degree of excitement and the potential of the market.
Naturally, the tit-for-tat rivalry between "The Big Brother" and "The Butterfly Effect" also extended to overseas markets. Relying on the appeal of the two protagonists Russell and Anson, the overseas distribution of the two films did not encounter many obstacles.
In fact, in 2003, the overseas distribution capabilities of 20th Century Fox and New Line Cinema were almost the same, but the gap was not as obvious as in North America. They mainly relied on cooperating with local distribution companies to promote movies, and the final effect depended on the distribution department. Negotiation skills.
Therefore, although the release times in some countries and regions are different, "The Fight" and "The Butterfly Effect" were released simultaneously in six countries and regions, and the tense atmosphere in North America extended outwards.
These include several important overseas markets such as the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
For both movies, the head-on confrontation continues to heat up, and the life-and-death battle is not limited to North America.
For movie lovers, this is undoubtedly good news. They don't care about whether the movie wins or loses at the box office, they only care about whether they can see wonderful works.
Karl, who lives in Paris, will naturally not miss the opportunity to join this wave as soon as possible.
The first choice is the "butterfly effect".
According to Karl's idea, "The Butterfly Effect" is lighter and less burdensome. After watching the first film, you should still have the energy to watch "The Fight"; but if it were reversed, it might be more difficult.
However, Carl now began to doubt his own ideas.
After sitting on the seat in the screening room for a long time, Karl finally stood up and left with a slight hesitation, thoughts swirling in his mind——
The ending of the screening just now was slightly different than expected.
At the end of the story, Evan did return to Andrea's belly through the home video, and he was born successfully, starting a new life.
When he was seven years old, Evan was slightly startled when he saw Keller coming towards him on the street; but in the end, he didn't say anything and just passed him by.
Keller also noticed Evan, with a slightly hesitant expression, but unfortunately he didn't think of anything. In the end, he went straight forward without stopping.
This time, they didn't know each other at all, and their lives had no intersection.
Therefore, Evan finally gave up his obsession, the obsession of trying to save Keller, the obsession of trying to find perfection and happiness.
This is cruel.
Because Carl understands what this means, the suffering that Caleb and Tommy will endure will continue to happen, which is undoubtedly a kind of torture for Evan.
Is this the ending they wanted?
Evan finally realizes that his father was right, he shouldn't play God, he shouldn't try to chase perfection, and he shouldn't think he can save everyone.
But is this the truth?
Evan did not save Caleb and Tommy from misery, but also gave up the possibility of pursuing happiness. Is this kind of life "right"?
Karl didn't know or understand, and his head was filled with countless thoughts.
Standing in the cinema hall, Karl was a little confused.
According to the plan, he should go to the screening room next door to watch "The Great Fight", but now he is standing there like a fool.
"...I heard that there is a different version there, and there is a happy ending."
"What do you mean? Evan is with Caleb? How did he do it?"
On the side, there was a rustling conversation, and as they were hurriedly leaving the cinema, Karl reflexively stepped forward, his body even acting ahead of his brain, and stopped the two young people.
"Is it the 'butterfly effect'?"
The two fans were not surprised either.
"Yes, at Medici Light and Shadow, my friend said that the ending shown there was different."
"The theater is right here..."
Karl nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know, we have to speed up."
Without any time to explain, Karl had already taken the lead and trotted out. "Light and shadow", how could Karl not know?
This cinema is famous for specializing in showing overseas films and niche films. Not only film festival award-winning films, but also independent films that mainstream theaters do not like to arrange, it is very famous among movie lovers.
At the same time, "Light and Shadow" has also been highly praised for its private viewing experience.
To put it simply, there are limited seats to ensure that there will be no noise, photography, sleeping and other miscellaneous things in the screening room.
This is a niche private space specifically for movie lovers.
I never expected that "Light and Shadow" would also show the "Butterfly Effect".
So, they had to hurry or they might not get a spot.
Fortunately, "Light and Shadow" was not far from their location, only two streets away.
Karl ran all the way and arrived panting. The other two people also arrived one after another, patting their chests and gasping for air, with confusion on their faces.
"Why are we running?"
Karl was stunned, he didn’t know:
Logically speaking, "The Butterfly Effect" is still a genre movie, neither niche nor artistic, and will be shown in all large chain theaters in Paris; coupled with today's head-to-head confrontation with "The Fight", the attendance rate is worrying.
At "Light and Shadow", they don't need to worry about all the movie tickets being sold out.
Moreover, hasn't he already planned it? After watching "The Butterfly Effect", he will watch "The Fight". There are still two blogs to be completed tonight.
So, why are they running?
However, before Karl could explain, a crowd quickly gathered at the entrance of "Light and Shadow", like crowded zebras on the African savannah.
Karl and the three of them were stunned for a moment, looking at each other, startled.
The first thought in Carl's mind was, "Buy a ticket."
As soon as he turned around, without hesitation, Karl immediately went to the ticket window and said loudly, "The next Anson Wood game."
In three seconds, you get a movie ticket.
Karl stared blankly at the movie ticket in his hand, feeling a little lost for a moment——
Isn't he going to watch "Clash of the Furious"? So what is he doing here?
Who am I where am I and what am I doing?
Three questions of the soul.
But soon, Carl should be lucky, because all the movie tickets were sold out in just five minutes.
incredible!
And, that's not all.
I learned from the ticket seller that "Light and Shadow" had sold out three consecutive "Butterfly Effect" shows this morning. They are a small cinema with only one screening room and did not arrange "Clash of the Sea" at all. I originally thought that the "Butterfly Effect" might be possible They were squeezed out, ignored, and ignored, so they arranged three games on Friday morning, but the actual situation was completely unexpected.
Additionally, the ticket seller confirmed that they only got one copy during the opening weekend -
In other words, an ending.
If the audience is interested, be prepared to watch more endings and just go to different cinemas.
The version of "Light and Shadow" is marked with the number "2", which seems to be the ending of the second version.
However, in the second week of release, cinemas can submit applications based on their own attendance and scheduled screenings to get more versions of the ending.
As for the several versions, it is entirely up to the cinema to decide according to its own situation; how to arrange the screenings is also up to the cinema itself.
Such a screening strategy is really bold.
It can even be called crazy!
