After the 26th Shanghai International Film Festival screening schedule was announced on June 5, the enthusiasm of movie fans was instantly ignited. In just one day, the official website had over 10 million page views! At 12:00 on June 7, these films will officially go on sale on the Tao Piao Piao platform. Movie fans have already set their alarms and are ready to "compete in speed". Which films are the most popular this year?
As of 14:00 on June 6, "Paprika (4K)", "Pulp Fiction (4K)", "2001: A Space Odyssey (IMAX/4K)" and other popular films have become the most popular films added by fans to Tao Piaopiao's "My Schedule". Choosing films to avoid peak hours, knowing yourself and your opponent, appropriately giving up "super popular" and choosing relatively less popular masterpieces can increase the success rate of grabbing tickets and the happiness of participating in the grand festival.
The screenings at this year's film festival are still exciting. 461 films, about 1,600 screenings, and about 90 audience meetings will cover 47 theaters in 16 districts in Shanghai, including five new towns, and 6 theaters in five cities in the Yangtze River Delta. As of 17:00 on June 6, the total collection of the top 100 films that fans on Tao Piaopiao have added to "My Schedule" has reached 500,000.
How to choose from a huge amount of videos
Tao Piaopiao’s “My Schedule” has become the most effective way for movie fans to grab tickets.
At present, among the films collected by fans in the "My Schedule" list, the top 20 popular films include "Perfect Blue (4K)", "Ghost in the Shell 4K Restored Edition (4K)", "Once Upon a Time in America (4K)", "Looking Back", "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence", "Seven Deadly Sins (IMAX/4K)", "Hedgehog", "Detective Conan: The Million Dollar Pentacle", "Queen Live in Montreal (IMAX/4K)", "Taxi Driver (4K)", "Let's Go Karaoke!", "Flowers and Alice", "Les Miserables (DOLBY VISION)", "Mad Max 4: Fury Road (IMAX/4K/3D)", "The Color of You", "Metropolis", "Fondue Française", etc.
It is not surprising for many veteran movie fans that these films have become popular. Take Paprika (4K), which is currently the most collected, for example. This is the masterpiece of Japanese animation master Satoshi Kon. The work's wild imagination has made a story of traveling through dreams and invading reality a classic in the hearts of countless fans, and is also regarded by many as the director's pinnacle creation. In addition, the work has been restored in 4K and there are not many opportunities for it to be released in Shanghai. This work has long been a super hot topic in the community where movie fans discuss.

For veteran movie fans, although many classics have been re-watched, many of the versions screened at the Shanghai International Film Festival have been restored in 4K, or have special versions such as IMAX and Dolby Vision, which are especially worth watching.
The charm of the film festival is not only reflected in the popular films. The film selection principle of the Shanghai International Film Festival has always been highly praised by many movie fans: it pays equal attention to "popular" and "unpopular" films, so that fans of different types of films can enjoy the fun of watching movies.
The former allows movie fans to feel the joy of the festival, while the latter, through the professional perspective of a film selector, recommends more "should-see but little-known" works to movie fans, striving to allow more connoisseurs to see different types of charming movies.
The editor also reminds fans to browse the complete list as much as possible and avoid the super popular movies that have been "added to the schedule" by a large number of fans. At the same time, make good use of the "My Schedule" function - after entering the schedule, select the appropriate movie and showtime, click the plus icon on the right, add the movie in advance, and wait until the official ticket sales at 12:00 on the 7th, or you may have the upper hand in the "ticket rush".
