My manager is a middle aged woman who is working hard. She has short hair and a good figure. She insists on Yoga everyday.

I am watching a TV show which called Chang’an 12 time. The major character is a smart and competent person. Although he is a prisoner who was sentenced to death, he is willing to help the official department to find the bad people.

My manager is a middle aged woman who is working hard/a hardworking middle aged woman. She has short hair and a good figure. She insists on Yoga everyday.

I am watching a TV show which is called Chang’an 12 double hours. The major character is a smart and competent person. Although he is a prisoner who was sentenced to death, he is willing to help the justice department to find criminals.

It makes me excited because many things happen quickly. I can guess which is the real criminal when I was watching the show and finally the criminal be arrested I will be happy. I watch it in the phone or the iPad. Because I have a small house and I think tv is not necessary for me. I think the big screen is better but this one is convenience I prefer to convenience.
I can but I hardly do this because when I watch tv shows I can make it quickly double speed. but live show can’t do this.
Chinese shows can but if it is an English show I can’t because I need to watch subtitles if the speed is too quickly I can’t follow.
If I’m used to fast when I return back to the normal speed I think it is too slow. the speed on the speaking make me unhappy.
And I can get more information in the same time if I use 2 time speed.
Its another experience, the cinema can make me to enjoy the whole atmosphere so speed is not important but you know everytime when I watch movies in the cinema I really want to see the progress bar. sometimes I can guess what happens in next by progress bar.

Some movies which can be diverse it will become famous.

I like movies just Disney make me feel relaxed , not too heavy.
It is famous , most of us have watched the cartoon when we were younger. I know what happens in the next I only enjoy the details when I watch it, The lion is very real. the view is beautiful and the music one of very famous songs.
I think it will be come true but in people’s mind it is different. If I know it is real or it is using CGI I will get different feelings and sometimes the movie using CGI is too perfect.

I think the audience feel good but for that people who work for movie maybe they will lost their job.
if it come true there will not be movie stars.

Maybe it is good but now this generation people will feel people’s memory can’t accept it.

I like detective movies. It is exciting  because many things happen quickly. I can guess who is the real criminal when I am watching the show when finally the criminal is arrested I will be happy. I watch it on the phone or the iPad. Because I have a small house and I think a TV is not necessary for me. I think a big screen is better but mobile devices are convenient I prefer  convenience./ I prefer to watch them on my phone.
I can but I hardly do this because when I watch tv shows I can make it faster using double speed. but I can’t do this with live show / live shows do not have this function.
I watch them faster for Chinese shows but if it is an English show I can’t because I need to watch subtitles if it is too fast I can’t follow.
If I’m used to double speed when I return back to the normal speed I think it is too slow. Dialog’s speed  make me anxious.
And I can get more information in the same amount of time if I use twice the speed / double speed.
It’s another experience, the cinema can make me enjoy the whole atmosphere so speed is not important but you know every time when I watch movies in the cinema I really want to see the progress bar. sometimes I can guess what happens next by looking at progress bar.
People like movies that go against their expectations / that can surprise them.

I like movies, I like fantasy just like Disney movies . They make me feel relaxed , I don’t like movies which are too heavy / which deal with heavy topics.
It is famous , most of us have watched the cartoon when we were younger. I already knew what  would happen when I watched it. I mostly enjoyed the details when I watched it, The lion looked very real/ was very realistic.  the landscape/scenery  is beautiful and the songs are very famous.
I think it will be come true but in people’s mind it is different.
If I know it is real or made using CGI/computer made I will get different feelings and sometimes the movie using CGIs is too perfect.

I think the audience feels good about it.
but for people who work in the movie industry maybe they will lose their job.
if it comes true there will no longer be movie stars.

Maybe it is good but I feel people from our generation cannot accept that. But maybe younger people can.
