Fujii Tree Movie Group exclusive dialogue with Cai Yatong
Q: Fujii Tree Movie Group A: Cai Yatong
Q: When was the last time you watched a movie at a movie theater? With whom? What movies have you watched?
A: Because of the epidemic, I haven't been to the cinema for a long time. The last time I went to the cinema to see a movie was to watch "Nezha's Demon Child Descending" with my family.
Q: The last time you cried/laughed in a movie theater?
A: When watching "Nezha's Demon Boy Descending".
Q: Have you ever been in line to buy movie tickets? Please elaborate~
A: When booking movie tickets online is not so developed, they are all in line to buy tickets. Usually, I talk to friends or family about the day and line up, and when I get to myself, the conductor will ask which show and which seat to choose, and then the conductor will act very sharply to issue the ticket.
Q: Do you still have an impression of the auditorium-style cinema (the style before the cinema was converted into a multi-hall)? What kind of memory is it?
A: There are vague memories in the brain.
When I was still in elementary school, there was an old movie theater in the old Jiangbei district of Chongqing. The main entrance of the cinema was plastered with posters of the movies that were being screened at the time, the door was the ticket seller, the next door was the ticket collector, and the ticket was handed to him before entering the theater. After checking the ticket, there are no two steps to the seat, and the chair of the seat is wooden. The facility environment is not very good, nor is it particularly large, with only a few rows of seats.
Q: What is the cinema that impressed you the most? Why did it leave you with such a deep memory?
A: When I grew up, I went to more different cities and watched more movies, and the oldest movie theater I remember most is the oldest movie theater when I was a child. In the past, the film market was not as developed as it is now, and it was not easy to go to a movie once, so I yearned for it. After doing your homework, holidays, or your parents' reward once, you can go to the cinema to see a movie, and you are curious about the cinema at that time.
That somewhat dilapidated cinema was not just a cinema for me, but also the time of my childhood, and the memories and beauty of that period were all stuck in that time.
When I was in junior high school, the movie theater was demolished. Now I especially want to go back to see, even if I can't get in, and take a walk at the door.
Q: Have you ever seen an open-air movie? What are your memories of an open-air cinema?
A: No, the perception of open-air movies stays in the scenes that have appeared in movies and TV series.
Q: Do you remember watching morning/midnight movies?
A: Although I haven't seen the midnight movie, I have watched a lot of morning movies, almost 10:11. In the morning, the cinema is usually quiet, and there are very few people in the whole cinema, just like a person who has gone through a very busy hospitality the day before, and then greeted the friends who watched the morning with a very relaxed posture the next day.
Q: Have you ever noticed the people who watch movies with you in the cinema? What does the person who impresses you the most look like?
A: The most impressive thing is when I watched "Big Fish and Begonias" and "Nezha's Demon Boy Descending".
At that time, I cried because there were more people in the cinema, and I felt quite embarrassed. But when I looked back, or when I turned my head to look at the person next to me, I saw that everyone was wiping their tears with tissues. No matter what kind of living environment and work status everyone is in, a movie can make people who are strangers to each other have some empathy, which is quite amazing. This is also where the movie is particularly magical and great.
Q: Have you ever had the experience of watching a movie "privately" (you're the only one in the whole theater)? What was the situation?
A: I have a habit that if it's a movie I like, I might go to see it two or three times during the show. When I repeat it, I may choose the morning movie to watch, or choose the time period when there are fewer people to watch, so sometimes there will be a scene where a person is chartered.
A person who watches a movie feels very quiet, although most of the normal time is also very quiet, occasionally there will be a ringing of the phone, the sound of answering the phone, the sound of discussion.
A person's feeling of watching a movie will be better, all the senses of the person, the visual, the auditory... The feeling of the movie will be more focused, more enlarged, more immersive, and the best feeling of watching the movie.
Q: What is the movie that makes you cry/laugh with most of the audience around you? Please describe the state of you and the audience around you at that time.
A: When watching "Nezha's Demon Boy Descending", Nezha's father said that he would exchange his life for his son's life, and when the line "He is my son" came out, the tears could not stop flowing.
When I was wiping my tears, I saw the person next to me, or the person in the back row, all holding tissues. Maybe everyone is more associated with their parents, and I think that the most empathetic feeling in all feelings is family affection. Everyone has parents, no matter whether the relationship with their parents is good or bad, whether it is close or not, family affection can make people empathize the most.
Q: Please describe one of your most memorable cinema experiences.
A: I'm a more emotional person, and for me, the very touching parts of the movie will impress me. For example, the end of "Avengers". When Iron Man died, when he told his daughter to love you 3,000 times, I still remember it.
Q: What does cinema mean to you? Is there a big moment in your life that happens in a movie theater?
A: Cinema is an encouragement to me. Every time I see a good work in the theater, I will think that I hope that one day I can present a good work to everyone on the big screen, show everyone a good role, and let everyone discuss it with friends, parents, and relatives after watching it. It's a yearning for me, an inspiration, and a goal.
Q: What movies are you most looking forward to seeing in the cinema right now? Who would you most like to go to the cinema with?
A: I hope to see a good movie, haha. What is a good movie? I think everyone has a different definition and perception of good. I think good movies are movies that people can remember and discuss after dinner after watching them.
What I want most is to watch it with my family and friends.
