A: During this year’s Spring Festival, thousands of cinemas were forced to close their doors in response to the deadly coronavirus epidemic. Chinese New Year holiday is supposed to be highly lucrative for the movie industry, but distributors pulled all the local films. The closures were said to have cost the global box office more than $l bn.
B：但是好消息是，其中一部撤档影片《囧妈》。在网络视频平台上免费播放。这可是有史以来电影第一次在网络平台首映。
A: Did you watch the movie? I like it a lot! The film is about an awkward journey to Russia of a manipulative old mother and her middle-aged son who wanted to rebel and escape. The movie offered a bitter-sweet but eventually heart-warming experience to the audience.
B：是的!我也喜欢!电影中的许多元素会引起中国观众的共鸣，因为它讲述了典型的中国式母子关系，或过于亲密或过于疏远，强硬并充满控制欲。导演徐峥表示，这部影片本身对他来说是一次考验、重生和改变，在拍摄过程中他和母亲的关系也得到了改善。
A: Although the movie is nice, there was a boycott from the industry. People in the industry say that what if in the future, any movies that might face fierce competition in the theater were just sold to short video platforms?
B：这确实会对整个行业造成不好的影响。而且，包括万达影城在内的23家影院已经发布了抵制《囧妈》的声明。
