Chapter 385: Big Promotion

At the end of May, the mainland has basically entered the summer vacation season.

The hottest movies at the moment, without a surprise, are the movies of Xingchen.

In Chongqing, Zhang Lei took his cousin Huang Tao to play on the streets of Chongqing.

Chongqing's tourism industry is pretty good now.

Look at the concrete forest where you can't tell the floors apart, and take a ride on the magical sightseeing subway, see Hongyadong, eat hot pot after the end, and watch a movie, and the mission is completed.

Huang Tao is looking forward to this, but Zhang Lei doesn't think so.

On the one hand, he is a Chongqing native, and on the other hand, he has some opinions about this cousin.

It is said that the cousin will go to Japan to study abroad in the second half of the year.

Studying abroad is not a big problem. Most people with some conditions these days want to study abroad.

But this cousin is a little different. He went there with a yearning mentality.

Yearning for Japan!

You have to know that his grandfather was a veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Zhang Lei, who is also the grandson of a veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japan, of course can't stand it.

But he also knew that with the friendship between China and Japan for so many years, there are many people who yearn for Japan these days, and there are many people who like Japanese comics and short movies.

And his cousin is not that kind of fanatic.

So this dislike only exists on the surface, so that Zhang Lei himself thinks that he is too sensitive.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, the two came to the downstairs of Liziba Station.

"Let's take a look downstairs first, and then take the train later."

Zhang Lei explained.

The location where the two were at this time was the Liziba Station, which later became a popular online subway.

This station has a cyberpunk feel. The subway runs from the middle of the mountain and penetrates the middle of the floor. It is very sci-fi.

When we arrived at the place, many people were waiting downstairs with cameras.

Huang Tao saw the track on the hillside and praised: "It feels like Japan. I tell you, Japan has something similar. I guess Chongqing learned from Japan."

Zhang Lei rolled his eyes when he heard it.

It's Chongqing now, why are you talking about Japan.

But before he could speak, the train came over there.

Everyone raised their cameras to take pictures.

Then there was a burst of exclamations soon.

Because everyone found that today's train was very different.

Look carefully, it turns out that the entire train is wrapped with cool mecha posters.

That's the movie poster for "Pacific Rim".

Mecha, monsters, gray and cold colors.

Combined with the whole train entering the Liziba Building.

A sense of science fiction hits you.

People on the road snapped photos.

It feels like Chongqing is particularly cyberpunk today.

Zhang Lei remembered that "Pacific Rim" seems to be released next month.

He wanted to see it so much that he even bought a ticket, which was the only IMAX theater in Chongqing.

While thinking, Huang Tao spoke again: "Pacific Rim, this movie should be very good, but I think it should not be as authentic as Neon. I tell you, Neon has had this kind of theme for a long time, and Lu Ping'an may have plagiarized it this time."

"You said it was plagiarized without even watching it?" Zhang Lei, a fan of Lu Ping'an, almost laughed out of anger.

"It's not plagiarism if the theme is the same?" Huang Tao didn't think he was wrong.

Zhang Lei was so angry that he laughed: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and House of Flying Daggers are both martial arts themes, are they plagiarized?"

Huang Tao was speechless for a moment, but he still muttered nonchalantly: "Anyway, Chinese people making this kind of movie is a bit weird, and it is definitely not as good as Japan."

Zhang Lei wanted to argue, but Huang Tao changed the subject directly: "Let's go, take the bus."

He said and followed the crowd into the building.

Soon the two went upstairs and arrived at the subway floor, which was filled with movie advertisements.

It was Kung Fu Panda, which was mainly in warm colors and landscape painting style.

There were also Kung Fu Panda puppet statues in the subway station.

The publicity was really good!

Zhang Lei couldn't help but sigh.

It is said that this movie is the pinnacle of domestic animation.

Well, I have to go and see it when it is released.

At this time, Huang Tao started again: "In terms of animation, Japan is the king, no one in the world can compare."

"Are you Japanese or Chinese?"

Zhang Lei couldn't listen anymore and asked directly.

"Chinese, what's wrong?"

Huang Tao looked innocent, but he still didn't seem to realize that Zhang Lei was angry. He was just showing off, "Cousin, I'm telling you, our family will soon immigrate to Japan. My mother has already arranged everything."

"Immigration? Does your grandfather know?" Zhang Lei was very surprised.

"Even if he knew, he couldn't stop us. Japan is so good. Medical care, food hygiene, safety and so on are much better than in China. The cost of living is just a little higher, but it's okay. My dad can make money, and the environment there is good. People can live much longer there."

Huang Tao began to talk about the benefits of immigrating to Japan.

At this time, Zhang Lei didn't say anything. He was sure that this cousin was hopeless.

He thought Huang Tao was just a simple yearning, but he didn't expect that he had already fallen in love with it.

It was his freedom to fall in love with it or not, but as a descendant of a veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhang Lei absolutely couldn't stand such people.

At this moment, he wanted to leave directly, but thinking about the movie tickets he had already bought, and he paid for them, and the movie was about the War of Resistance Against Japan, so he simply endured it.

Maybe the movie can inspire people and wake them up, or if it doesn't, it might just be a slap in the face.

If it really doesn't work, he decided to have less contact with this guy in the future, what the hell is a traitor! The whole family is!

After a while, the next train came.

The outer cover of this train was "We Are From the Future".

The design of gunfire and rain of bullets has a sense of blockbuster.

It has to be said that Xingchen has invested a lot of money this time.

But the effect is really good, and Zhang Lei is looking forward to the next movie.

But Huang Tao spoke again: "War movies are still good in the United States."

"Shut up, get on the car!"

Zhang Lei was too lazy to pay attention to him and went straight in.

Huang Tao still didn't realize that his cousin was about to tear him apart, and followed him on the car.

After more than an hour of various transfers, the two arrived at the target theater.

At this time, there were still ten minutes before the opening.

Zhang Lei took his cousin to get the tickets and then entered the theater, turning a deaf ear to his cousin's words "I haven't bought popcorn yet."

After sitting down, Huang Tao asked, "What movie are we watching today?"

"Science fiction." Zhang Lei glanced at him and said.

"American blockbusters?"

"Yes!"

"American blockbusters are good. I will definitely go to the United States to watch them in the future. I tell you, domestic movies are not as good as Hollywood movies."

"Shut up!"

Huang Tao shut up obediently, but he felt that his cousin was reminding him not to affect others' watching.

Soon, more and more people came to the theater, and it was almost full.

Then the lights dimmed and various advertisements began to play.

Huang Tao complained again, saying that there were not so many advertisements in Japan.

Zhang Lei didn't want to bother him anymore. At this moment, he just hoped that the next movie would indeed bring some enlightenment to people as the trailer said.

After nearly ten minutes, the advertisement ended and the dragon logo began to light up.

The movie officially began.
