Why is November 11th Singles' Day?
I don't know which bastard invented it, but because on this day, Zhang Leilei really became a person!
Zhang Leilei is a junior at Pengcheng University. Today is a very depressing day for him because he broke up with his girlfriend of many years this morning.
The two had been together for many years, since high school, but their universities were too far apart—he was in Shenzhen, and his girlfriend was in Beijing.
Long-distance relationships are really tough. Although the two have broken up and gotten back together many times, he still tries his best to salvage the relationship. He has even made preparations to develop his career in Beijing after graduation.
This morning, his girlfriend broke up with him. She didn't want to waste any more time on him. To be precise, she broke up with him after watching the movie "Love is Not Blind." He didn't know why.
Zhang Leilei was in a daze all day. At 8 p.m., he suddenly had a whim to go see the movie, so he went to a movie theater near the school.
The movie theater was already packed. Zhang Leilei saw a long queue of people, which made him even more curious about this movie, "Love is Not Blind 33".
What kind of magic does "The Sky" possess that makes so many people love it?
At this time, movie tickets were still mostly purchased offline, so when Zhang Leilei was standing alone at the back of the line, he overheard a couple in front of him saying, "Look at you, we're all late! If we can't get tickets later, it'll be your fault!"
"It's alright, there won't be any problems. Besides, there's another guy behind us!"
"What do you know? Someone buying movie tickets alone must be buying them in advance for tomorrow or the day after. I don't believe anyone would be watching a romance movie all alone tonight! That would be so pathetic!"
Zhang Leilei rolled his eyes, internally raging: Hey! Can you two keep your voices down?! I'm right behind you! Besides, who says I can't watch a romantic movie alone at night?!
"Never mind whether they're pitiful or not, I'm just telling you, you've already watched it once, why are you watching it again!"
"I watched it with my best friend before, but now I'm watching it with you. How can that be the same? Besides, I want to watch it a second time too. My best friend has already watched it three times!"
Oh, and I'll buy three extra movie tickets. Tomorrow's the weekend, I don't have to work, so I'll bring my parents to see it again and contribute to my idol's box office!
At this point, Zhang Leilei was speechless. Watching a movie three times, with a ticket costing 35 yuan, what couldn't you do with that money? He really couldn't understand it.
Zhang Leilei was having a really bad day. Maybe it was because the couple before him had bought three extra movie tickets, but when it was his turn, the ticket seller said they were out of tickets. "I'm sorry, sir, all the tickets for 'Love is Not Blind' are sold out today. We only have tickets for the midnight showing. Do you still want them?"
"What? There aren't any tickets left in the front? I just need one, like the front row or the one closest to the corner, that'll do!" Zhang Leilei said, still a little unwilling to give up.
"We're out of those too, sir. Do you still want the 12 o'clock one?" the ticket seller said.
It's only a little past 8 o'clock now, and there are still 4 hours until midnight. Zhang Leilei suddenly hesitated. The key is that by the time he gets back from the movie, it will be 12 a.m., and he has something to do tomorrow morning.
Just then, a very pretty girl gently patted Zhang Leilei and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, you're from Pengcheng University, right?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"Did you just break up with your boyfriend?"
"Um, no, I didn't. Uh... how did you figure that out?" Zhang Leilei asked, looking at the smiling girl.
"I could tell just by looking at you. So, are you a fan of Lin Feng?"
"Are you conducting a survey?"
"If you're a fan of Raymond Lam, I have an extra movie ticket, so I'll give it to you."
"Yes! I'm a fan of Raymond Lam. I've liked him since 'Meteor Shower,' but my favorite movie of his is 'Buddha Mountain.'"
Zhang Leilei knew Lin Feng, but he wasn't a fan. However, he was familiar with these two of Lin Feng's works. He had actually watched "Buddha Mountain," but he mainly watched it with his girlfriend because he heard there were passionate scenes in it, so he ended up watching nothing.
"Okay, here's the movie ticket for you. I hope you'll continue to support Lin Feng in the future!" The girl readily handed the movie ticket to Zhang Leilei.
Just as the girl turned to leave, Zhang Leilei called out to her, "Um, I'll give you the money!"
"It's just a little money, no need! We're all fans of Lin Feng, it's just mutual help!"
"Could I add you on the contact list?" Seeing the girl still hesitate, Zhang Leilei continued, "You're a student at Pengcheng University, right? I'm a third-year computer science student, what about you?"
"Yes, I'm a third-year student majoring in Economics and Management."
"Look, we're classmates from the same year, and we're both fans of Lin Feng. Can we exchange contact information now? My name is Zhang Leilei, what's your name?"
"Your name is Zhang Leilei?"
"Hmm, what's wrong? Do you think my name sounds a bit feminine?" Zhang Leilei didn't know why his parents gave him such a feminine name when he was a child, with two "Lei"s. It would have been better to just call him "Zhang Lei," but he was already used to it.
"That's not what I meant. I meant that my name is Xia Miaomiao, and you have three 'stones' in your name and I have three 'waters' in mine. We are indeed quite destined for each other," Xia Miaomiao explained.
Xia Miaomiao is a huge fan of Lin Feng. When "Love is Not Blind" was first released, she organized a private screening for fans to support it. Now that the movie is popular, she hasn't organized another screening. However, today is November 11th, the most important day for "Love is Not Blind," so Xia Miaomiao still dragged her best friend from the dormitory to the cinema to watch it again. But her best friend suddenly had to go back, and Xia Miaomiao had already seen "Love is Not Blind" several times. She didn't want to watch it alone anymore, so she wanted to give away her movie tickets. Just now, she happened to see Zhang Leilei all alone and looking pitiful. He was obviously someone who had just broken up with his girlfriend and didn't even have a ticket to see the movie. Her compassion was stirred, which led to what happened just now.
After exchanging contact information, the two discovered that they were both from Chengdu, Sichuan. What a coincidence! They then chatted a lot before the movie started.
The more they talked, the more they realized they had so many similarities and shared so many interests. Zhang Leilei admired Xia Miaomiao's courage in chasing her idol, while Xia Miaomiao admired Zhang Leilei for daring to start a business in college. They both felt an inexplicable attraction to each other. Zhang Leilei suddenly felt that this was fate's arrangement, that he deserved to be dumped, and that perhaps it was all for the sake of meeting someone better. Today seemed to be his good day!
Just as the movie was about to start, Zhang Leilei mustered up his courage and asked, "Xia Miaomiao, do you still have a movie ticket?"
How about we both take a look together?
Xia Miaomiao glanced at Zhang Leilei again, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay!"
Zhang Leilei was overjoyed. He realized he hadn't been this happy in a long time. In his heart, he paid tribute to "Love is Not Blind": I love Lin Feng! I love "Love is Not Blind"! I love November 11th, Singles' Day!
When the two entered the movie theater, it was packed with people; there wasn't a single empty seat!
At the beginning of the movie, Zhang Leilei focused more on Xia Miaomiao, but he was quickly drawn into the plot.
As the movie ended, Zhang Leilei suddenly understood why his girlfriend insisted on breaking up with him that day. It was because the two of them were just like the characters in the movie, tormenting each other, breaking up and getting back together, and their relationship was not happy.
What impressed Zhang Leilei the most was not the performances of the male and female leads, but rather the words spoken by Lu Ran, the ex-boyfriend of the villain "Huang Xiaoxian," in the movie: "We didn't end up like this by accident. What do you mean by that? Every time we argue, you have to say the most hurtful things, without using a single dirty word. The damage is enough to make me want to bang my head against a wall and end it all."
After the argument, you feel better, but have you ever thought about how I feel? Every time, I have to grovel like a dog to find a way to back down, while you always stand there arrogantly, not moving an inch.
I want to stand below you and look up at you. I've looked up enough, I can't take it anymore, my neck is about to break from looking up. Have you ever thought about it? Are you the only person in the whole world with self-respect?
The only difference between Zhang Leilei and "Lu Ran" is that he didn't cheat. He wasn't treated equally in his previous relationship, and it seems he lost a lot of his own things. Today, when he's with Xia Miaomiao, he feels very happy and has found many things he had lost. He is truly grateful for "Love is Not Blind," which is a great movie.
When Zhang Leilei escorted Xia Miaomiao back to her dorm, he said, "Thank you for treating me to 'Love is Not Blind' this time. Next time, I'll treat you to 'The Last Supper'! It's a deal!"
After experiencing so much today, Zhang Leilei posted online, "Love is Not Blind is definitely a great movie, and it helped me find the girl I love most!"
This is just one representative of ordinary viewers. "Love is Not Blind" has basically completed the accumulation of viewership in just three days since its release, and has already set off a wave of heated discussions across the country.
On Tuesday, November 8th, the film's opening day, it grossed 18.8 million yuan and attracted 530,000 viewers.
On Wednesday, November 9th, the second day of its release, the box office reached 19.2 million yuan, with 540,000 viewers.
On Thursday, November 10th, the third day of its release, the box office reached 20.8 million yuan, with 580,000 viewers.
In the first three days, the total number of viewers reached 165 million. Excluding repeat viewers and word-of-mouth referrals, at least 100 million people have seen the movie. We must turn this strong enthusiasm from the audience into a driving force for the movie's box office!
At this moment, with the support of theaters, positive word-of-mouth, audience enthusiasm, fan promotion, and media attention, it can be said that the timing, location, and people are all in sync!
Everyone is waiting for a box office miracle!
