Nearly 70,000 Douban netizens scored a high score of 9.3.
Within 2 days of release, it broke 35 mainland film history records.

At a time when the whole network was embarrassed by Zhang's "Snow of the Century", the deserted movie theater was ignited by a slightly special new film...
The audience waved glow sticks, danced in front of the big screen, and screamed...
Someone asked: Are they really watching a movie?
@哈哈哈你猜-
@hyii0816
Someone sang along to the elaborate lyric book.
Title: The first storyteller in the cinema...
@比一博多一博
There is a girl wearing a wedding dress, holding a diamond ring, proposing to her boyfriend.
The Warrior of Pure Love fell to the ground...
@黎吧啦
There are also a lot of Cosers, showing a state of mind ahead of their time.
The comment area ridiculed: The wind of Halloween still blew to the cinema...
@小太爷
You are in Zhang's "artificial snowfall", like sitting on pins and needles.
I was in the sound wave of the next room, feeling the Spring Festival Gala in advance.

Such a strong sense of atmosphere and ritual all originates from her-
Taylor Swift: The Times Tour
Can concerts also be released in theaters?
Of course.
It didn't just become popular in the last two years, but it has almost 80 years of screen history.
In the 60s of the last century, it was once the top of the cinema...
Woodstock Festival
In June 2009, Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop", passed away, and the planned farewell concert became an eternal regret.
A few months later, "That's It" landed in theaters.
This film, which focuses on the rehearsal process, has a Douban score of 8.8 and is the first concert film released in Chinese mainland.
Since then, singers such as Cui Jian, Mayday, Wang Leehom, Deng Ziqi and other singers have successively launched concert movies...
As for the quality and box office, I don't think it's necessary to go into it...
"Mayday Life Unlimited Company" "Beyond That Day"
If you want to talk about "Taylor Swift: The Times Tour" (hereinafter referred to as "The Times Tour"), you have to mention the concert itself.
The Times Tour is scheduled to hold 151 shows.
44 songs per show...
Covering 10 creative albums from Mildew's debut to the present, with a total duration of three and a half hours...
At present, more than 60 in the United States have come to an end.
A total of 4.35 million tickets were sold, earning a whopping $1.04 billion.
Take Seattle, for example.
Tickets for the two concerts were hard to come by, with 144,000 spectators.
Screaming, cheering, jumping, causing a 2.3 magnitude earthquake...
According to estimates by professional data analysis agencies, the tour will generate more than US$5 billion (about 35.9 billion yuan) in revenue.
There is a saying: if mold is an economy, then it exceeds 50 countries in the world.
In the midst of a sluggish travel market across the United States, it has not only boosted the hotel industry, but also created a large number of jobs.
Even the Federal Reserve has taken note of this "moldy economics"...
Outside the stadium, the queue waiting to enter
Local governments are also more than one volume -
The city of Glendale, directly changed the surname to "Swift"...
The City of Tampa, Inviting Mildew to Serve as Mayor Emeritus for a Day...
Governor of Massachusetts, Commendation Order for Mold...
The Prime Minister of Canada, the Prime Minister of Australia, the President of Chile and other dignitaries from many countries also competed to invite...
"Mildew economics" is really not blown.
"City Keys" and Commendation Orders
"Time Tour" was recorded at three Los Angeles concerts last August and cost just $15 million to make.
By the end of last year, it had grossed more than $250 million worldwide and was certified by Guinness as the "highest-grossing concert film of all time". (Source: Box Office Mojo)
The scary thing is that the record is still being broken...
Time magazine, which has always favored heads of state and CEOs of major enterprises, awarded the title of "Person of the Year" in 2023.
You may wonder: Is it too prestigious?
After understanding her growth trajectory, you may say: this woman's success exists objectively and cannot be replicated...
"Retrospective" on the topic...
It sounds like a concert theme that will only be chosen by veteran singers who have been in the industry for decades or are about to retire.
is only 34 years old and is still climbing the peak of her career, why did she suddenly "review her career"?
In 2006, the 17-year-old signed a contract with Big Machine Records and made his official debut.
In the following 12 years, Mildew released 6 albums, gave birth to a number of hit singles, and achieved commercial and artistic "nuclear fusion", which made the company make a lot of money.
In 2018, the contract expired, and Mildew decided not to renew it...
I thought that it would be good to gather and disperse, and the rivers and lakes would meet again.
But unexpectedly, in order to keep the cash cow, the company actually played a trick.
The other party concealed the mildew and sold the company to an agent who had deliberately framed the mildew.
In other words, if you want to sing or use an old song, you must first ask for the consent of your rival...
The other party also threatens to "unlock" the recording copyright of an old album every time a new album is recorded.
For a creator who is loyal to expression, every melody and phrase flowing from the tip of the pen is a priceless treasure.
When years of hard work have been wasted, you can imagine how distressed Mildew is...
But the wicked did not succeed.
After signing with the new company, Mildew announced: It will re-record and release the previous 6 albums to regain the copyright...
It goes without saying that it takes a great deal of courage and courage to advance such a thorny project.
In the music industry, where men have the absolute right to speak, exploitation, oppression, unspoken rules, and sexual harassment are common phenomena.
In the face of injustice, the vast majority of practitioners do not even have a chance to speak out...
The clear attitude and firm position have undoubtedly made the mold a game-breaker and changed the industry ecology.
目前，霉霉已发行了《Fearless》《Red》《Speak Now》《1989》四张重录专辑。
Among them, the remastered version of "1989" sold a staggering 1.653 million copies in the first week...
This isn't the first time that mildew has been tough on the head.
As early as 2015, she protested by refusing to release a new album and writing an open letter calling out Apple because Apple Music would not pay musicians a penny during the three-month free trial period.
After the open letter was issued, Apple changed the rules, and the rights and interests of musicians were protected.
An open letter from Mildew to Apple
Every one of them is powerful, and there is usually pain written behind it.
Mold, of course, is no exception.
With its growth is devastating, tsunami-like malice...
When I was a child, Mildew wrote in my diary with a quill pen -
I'm going to be a good girl.
This sentence was used as a moral code by mildew throughout the formative years.
However, the reputation of a good girl brought her harm...
In 2009, the 20-year-old won the VMA's "Best Female Artist Video" award, becoming the first country singer in history to win the award.
When Mildew gave his acceptance speech, Kanye suddenly rushed to the stage, snatched the microphone, and screamed for Beyoncé, who was sorry for the defeat.
There were boos at the scene, and Mildew was at a loss...
This is a big blow to the mold that sees others as a belief system.
But she didn't have the courage to resist.
Even in interviews, he did not defend himself, and always smiled and said things that did not offend people...
She has worked tirelessly, breaking records, winning applause, and winning awards with high-quality creations time and time again, proving her musical talent.
However, the media chose to turn a blind eye to the achievements of this girl, focusing on her "ex-boyfriend list", and deliberately creating an image of a scheming woman such as "falling in love is to collect song writing materials"...
The so-called "writing songs for her ex-boyfriend" is actually the most attractive quality of her creation: narrative.
Storytelling is her specialty.
She will write an album of the mood of each age and the perception of each life experience to share with the world.
Many times, the songs sung in the song will evoke the memories of fans about similar experiences, and this feeling of "growing up together" is one of the reasons why the stickiness of moldy fans is so high...
Sincere expression, always scarce.
But when she attends the awards ceremony, the female reporter will signal the cameraman to pat her long legs more.
Then ask her: In addition to winning the prize, how many men do you plan to take home tonight?
It's sad that women's success can only be mentioned with the help of men's thoughts...
In 2016, "Recording Gate" made Mildew the target of public criticism.
The cause is the insulting lyrics in Kanye's new song "Famous":
I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex
(I think Taylor and I might still have sex)
Why? I made that bitch famous
(Why? I made that bitch famous)
Kanye feels that the achievements of mildew can not be achieved today without the boost of the "microphone grabbing" incident in 09.
The MV scale of this song is wide open, comparable to "celebrity lewd party".
Among them is a nude wax figure of mold.
Screenshot of the MV
After the song was released, public opinion was in an uproar...
Kanye insisted that he had obtained Mildew's consent beforehand.
Mildew responded that the two had indeed talked about the song on the phone, but she didn't know about the insulting lyrics that involved old grudges.
Immediately afterwards, Kanye's ex-wife Kim Kardashian released a recording of the call, pointing the finger at Mildew and lying.
(A few years later, hackers exposed the full version of the recording, confirming that the recording released by Kardashian had been maliciously edited...) ）
As one of the world's most recognizable influencers, Kardashian knows a thing or two about hype.
For a while, the whole network was brushing the expression of the snake.
Mildew's social account comment area
推特上,#TaylorSwiftIsOverParty(霉霉凉了)被刷上全球最热门的话题...
In the show, the hostess said: She disguised herself as a victim to win the sympathy of the public...
There are even media headlines that make a thriller: Americans are enemies of Taylor Swift...
Mildew is portrayed as an immoral, cunning, and hypocritical American villain.
The image of the former "American sweetheart" collapsed.
What does cyberbullying mean to a young artist who lives for applause?
Undoubtedly, it was a desperate blow to death.
Build a 4-metre-high fence outside the house, carry a hemostatic dressing to prevent attacks, hide suitcases and be carried out by staff...
These news are all indictments of Mildew's situation.
In the eye of the storm of public opinion, the only thing he wants to do is to disappear from the public.
After that, she did not appear in public for a year.
"Did you really write those songs yourself?"
Similar questions are accompanied by the growth of mildew.
In the music industry, men are praised for being strategic, while women are said to be scheming...
Men respond to something for granted, while women are accused of overreacting...
Perhaps, these phenomena are not limited to the music industry.
In this world, the requirements for women are quite high.
You're dealing with a whole bunch of "both and more"...
But at the same time, the world will also be very low in terms of women.
All you need to do is make a plastic doll that looks beautiful and keeps the brain empty, providing men with lust value and fertility value.
Don't cross the red line of men's "sense of entitlement"...
A woman who is too talented, or too successful, has to endure countless debasements and discrimination, like the "Matilda effect" in science.
A friend once told me that no big star can project the various costs that ordinary women have to pay for growth from their own experiences like Mildew-
Being bullied, being made of pornographic rumors, being dragged to engage in female competition...
Marital pressure, age anxiety, gender discrimination, sexual harassment in the workplace...
"I can't change what happens to me, but I can control what songs I write.
Soft musical brushstrokes are not sharp weapons.
A year after retiring from the network, Mildew made a strong return with a new album.
She put the image of the poisonous snake used by the cyberbully on the concert stage...
Fearless of the threat of capital, she resolutely re-recorded six albums...
她高声唱着：Fuck the patriarchy（去他妈的父权制）…
Many years ago, the Southern Chicks were labeled as "traitors," "southern sluts," and "anti-American" because of their opposition to the Iraq War and their bombardment of then-President George W. Bush.
Record labels and distributors have always taught Moldy: Don't follow the example of Southern chickens, and be cautious in what you say and do in public...
In addition, good girls do not impose their views on others.
Therefore, Mildew has always avoided touching social topics including politics, and tried not to cause trouble for the team.
After witnessing a series of unequal rights incidents, Mildew felt that it was time to tear off the "tape" from his mouth...
She used her influence to call on voters to vote...
Speak up for the LGBTQ+ community and denounce online violence...
Sue a radio DJ who molested him, claiming a symbolic $1 just to encourage more victims to break the silence and tell the truth...
She took the initiative to recognize and work hard to eliminate the misogyny that lurked in the brain...
She uses the "nuclear fusion" of art and commerce to smash rumors, dispel malice, and speak up for the weak...
She accepts the imperfect world as well as the imperfect self.
Don't run away from cowardice, and don't live for the evaluation of others...
At the commencement ceremony at New York University, Mildew, who was awarded an honorary doctorate, gave a speech, and I remember this sentence especially vividly-
The bad news is, from now on, you're on your own.
But the good news is that from now on, you're on your own.
In "Time Tour", such a scene happened...
Mildew smiled and kissed his arm.
Her arms don't have bulging muscles, but we can clearly see the power of worship...
What happened to Mildew makes us see a certain truth about this world...
Even such a gifted, talented, beautiful and intelligent woman is very difficult to succeed in this world?
What makes Mildew special is that her every move is in the spotlight, allowing the world's spectators to openly see the struggles of an exceptional woman.
If the sin of mildew is placed on an ordinary woman who has no status and money to protect her body, the suffering she suffers may be magnified tenfold, hundredfold, or thousandfold.
Mildew also seems to be telling the world that even the best women in the world are inevitably exposed to sexism, sexual harassment, slut shaming, online violence...
Male power bullying is real, women's plight is real, and "equal rights between men and women" is not a disease-free moan, not pretentious, not overkill...
