Featured review
Only the allure of the masses can resist the commercialized tide of reformation.
Oh my, the two points I picked up on were quite different from the mainstream. Firstly, the protagonist realizes in the end that what he should compete for is the title of 'number one.' Having this title can make the small town go down in history. It repeatedly tells us that in marketing, you need a unique positioning to be remembered. Secondly, the fact that many people used to perform stage plays caused the theaters to struggle to stay afloat because stage plays require a lot of personnel, meaning they need a lot of audience tickets to cover expenses. However, the protagonist chooses to screen movies, which instantly attracts many audience tickets as long as there's a projector. I can't help but reflect on how even what the human eye sees has transitioned from manual presentation to automated machine projection.
