Chapter 588: Watching a Movie
Feng Chengcheng stopped coughing and looked back at Fei Nan in shock.
She had never seen such a brazen person.
Hearing her cough, Liu Yijian also realized that his question was inappropriate, so he didn't ask any more.
"Sister, who are you?"
Huan Huan rubbed his eyes and asked.
She had just gotten up and didn't recognize Feng Chengcheng.
Feng Chengcheng also knew a few Cantonese friends at school and could understand some simple Cantonese.
"You didn't recognize me so soon, were you still eating at my house last night?"
Scratching her little nose, Feng Chengcheng immediately realized: "That's right, I left early last night, you must not remember me." ”
"Are you here to play with me?" asked Huanhuan with a tilt of her head.
"Yes!" Feng Chengcheng teased her: "Do you want to go to the theater? I'll take you to the theater to watch Western movies, okay?
"I'm going to watch it with my dad. ”
Huanhuan pointed at Feinan.
"You like him so much?"
Feng Chengcheng had already heard Fei Nan say yesterday that Huan Huan was not his biological daughter, but hearing Huan Huan scream so naturally, she couldn't help but glance at Fei Nan suspiciously.
Is he really not Huanhuan's daughter?
After carefully comparing Fei Nan and Huanhuan, Feng Chengcheng was sure in his heart.
Well, it shouldn't be, Huanhuan is much more beautiful than Mr. Fei......
After measuring the size, Liu Yijian said goodbye and left.
Because it was arranged by Feng Jingyao, he promised to send the ready-to-wear clothes over in three days.
"Mr. Fei, can I take Huanhuan to the theater to watch a movie? ”
Ah Xiang was going to go back with Feng Chengcheng, but she didn't expect that she really wanted to take Huanhuan to the movies, so she looked at Fei Nan and asked for his opinion.
Fei Nan thought about it, he had planned to go out to inspect it, so he readily agreed: "I'll invite you! It just so happens that I haven't seen a movie in Shanghai either, so it's better to go and see it." ”
Seeing that he agreed, Feng Chengcheng did not doubt him, so he happily hugged Huanhuan and helped her wash her face and get dressed.
The car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and everyone was ready to stop, so they got into the car and drove to the Hongkou Grand Theater.
Hongkou Grand Theater is the first cinema in Shanghai, and even in the country, at the intersection of Haining Road and Zhapu Road in Hongkou District, and currently belongs to the public concession.
It was founded by the Spaniards and later taken over by the Neon Chinese, and is currently the largest cinema in Shanghai.
Because it is run by foreigners, this big theater is showing Western films a lot of the time.
Sitting in the car, Fei Nan looked at the scene outside the window, and suddenly asked Ah Xiang, "Uncle Xiang, do you know the Jingwu Gate?"
"Do you mean the Jingwu Sports Club over there?"
Ah Xiang nodded and said, "I know, the master and President Wu Yaoting Wu of the Sports Association are also friends. ”
"Really?"
Fei Nan asked again: "How is the Jingwu Sports Club developing in Shanghai?"
"It's fine. ”
Ah Xiang pondered and said: "I heard that many martial arts sects in China have joined, and there are many masters, and they have been published in the newspaper a few times, but they have seen very little. ”
Nodding, Fernan didn't ask any more questions, looked out the window again, and fell into thought.
It's all within the concession, and the car arrives at the place quickly.
Stopped the car and instructed the driver: "Shuisheng, go buy three tickets." ”
"No need. ”
Fei Nan stopped the driver and said with a smile, "I'll buy it myself!" ”
As he spoke, he got out of the car first, turned around and asked, "Uncle Xiang, do you want to see it?"
"I won't look at it. ”
Ah Xiang waved his hand again and again: "I can't watch those Western movies, I'm dizzy." ”
Fei Nan smiled and walked towards the entrance of the theater.
Today is Saturday, there are many pedestrians on the street, and there is a queue at the entrance of the theater.
Looking up at the two-story brick house, it felt like the old-fashioned movie theater that Feinan had seen in the countryside when he was a child.
A pictorial is posted at the entrance of the theater, printed with information such as the name of the currently screened drama and the starring role.
Fei Nan swept his eyes and actually saw Chaplin's name, and then he realized that Mr. Zhuo that Feng Chengcheng said was originally Chaplin.
"Three tickets for the noon show. ”
It was Fernan's turn, and he passed the ocean that he had prepared into the window and exchanged it for three rough bills.
The noon session would not start until a while, so Feinan went back to the car and waited.
"Which one did you buy? Is it Mr. Zhuo's play?"
When he returned to the car, Feng Chengcheng couldn't wait to ask.
"Do you like Chaplin's movies a lot?"
Feinan asked with a smile.
"Hmm. ”
Feng Chengcheng nodded: "Mr. Zhuo's plays are all very interesting, I have watched his "Adventurer", "Immigration", "Anle Street", and "Department Store Inspector", all of which are very interesting. By the way, which one is there today?"
"It's like 'The Life of a Dog'. ”
"It should be a new film, it must be good. ”
Feng Chengcheng was looking forward to it.
Seeing her happy look, Fei Nan suddenly asked, "Do many people in Shanghai watch movies?"
"Yes!"
Feng Chengcheng helped Huanhuan cut her hair: "My classmates and friends, everyone likes to watch it, but the ticket price is a bit expensive, so I can't watch it often." ”
She was right, movie tickets during this period were indeed not cheap.
Watching a movie usually costs one or two oceans.
Fernan bought three tickets for noon, a total of six oceans.
At present, the workers in the factory are only paid more than ten yuan a month, which is definitely a luxury hobby for the working class.
During this period, in addition to profiteering businesses such as military goods and tobacco, entertainment venues such as cinemas, cinemas, and dance halls were also quite lucrative money-making businesses.
Movie theaters, in particular, are just emerging, and even if they are expensive, there is no shortage of customers, and tickets are often hard to find during holidays.
There are still a lot of rich people in Shanghai.
It wasn't long before the movie was about to start, and the three of Fernan got off the bus and lined up to enter the theater, looking for seats and preparing to watch the show.
From the outside, the theater has two floors, but the infield is one floor.
Because it has only been renovated for two years, the interior of the theater is still very new, and it is equipped with separate heating facilities, which is very warm.
Fei Nan sat down and counted silently, there were almost more than seven hundred seats in the hall.
According to the calculation of seven hundred, one seat has two oceans, and seven hundred is one thousand four.
Theaters are generally divided into three time periods: matinees, mid-theaters and night performances, and the revenue of that day is 4,200 yuan, a month is 126,000, and a year is more than 1.5 million.
This is a sure profiteering!
Of course, the vacancy rate may be higher on weekdays, but the income is still substantial.
There was some noise in the hall, and Fei Nan approached Feng Chengcheng and asked, "How many theaters does your father have?"
Feng Chengcheng thought for a while: "Three or four! Why are you asking this?"
Fei Nan smiled and asked, "Then why don't you go to your own theater to watch it? ”
"My theater is full of old movies, and I've watched it many times, and the films in this theater are all new films, which are better. ”
Feng Chengcheng disagreed.
"Are there any Chinese movies?" asked Feinan again.
"There are a few, but they are not good-looking, most of them are operas, babbling, I can't hear it clearly, it's better to go to the theater to watch the play..."
The lights above his head dimmed, and Feng Chengcheng patted him excitedly: "It's going to start!"
