132 [Madness (5)]
It's still the Lumière cinema.
The location of the cinema is a large commercial plaza in Yanjing, and there are many people who come here for a big meal, so the more it is in the evening, the more lively it becomes.
Xinfeng is the ticket seller of this movie theater.
Perhaps because of the Saturday rest of the office worker, his workload today is several times that of weekdays.
"A copy of "Black Clouds". β
"A ticket to Black Clouds. β
"Two tickets for "Black Clouds", thank you. β
"Give me three movie tickets for Warriors of the Three Kingdoms. β
Then the money handed over by the customers, Xinfeng skillfully handed over the ticket to change, as expected, the best movie tickets sold today are the new generation of great director Wang Ming's "Black Cloud" and the "Three Kingdoms Warriors" that is said to be produced on a good scale.
Time is spent in the busy.
The hands pointed to seven o'clock, and there were more and more audiences in the cinema, and Xinfeng finally ushered in the peak of busyness -
"Two Crazy Stones. β
"Give me three copies of Crazy Stone. β
"Dude, bring me five copies of Crazy Stone, your popcorn here is hot, we're a bit too ......"
At first, Xinfeng didn't notice it.
However, as eight o'clock approached, Xinfeng finally realized that it seemed that the number of people buying tickets for "Crazy Stone" was increasing, and the magnitude was a bit alarming......
What's going on?
Xinfeng clearly remembers that when the first premiere of this movie was in the afternoon, there were not many people who bought tickets, because most of the audience came to the cinema for "Black Cloud" or "Warriors of the Three Kingdoms".
But what's going on now?
Xinfeng also knows a little about "Crazy Stone".
TV series director Luo Yuan's test work in the film industry, a small-budget comedy movie, probably premiered this afternoon, and there were not many people who bought tickets at that time, and Xinfeng didn't care much.
It's not just Xinfeng who doesn't care.
In fact, the entire theater chain doesn't care about this movie, otherwise it wouldn't have arranged only two screenings for this movie on the first day......
"A copy of Crazy Stone. β
A customer interrupted Xinfeng's contemplation, Xinfeng nodded and was about to hand over the ticket, but his eyes were slightly fixed in front of the monitor: "I'm sorry, this "Crazy Stone" has been sold out......"
"Sold out?"
The customer's expression was a little annoyed.
Xinfeng said: "You can buy "Black Cloud", or "Warriors of the Three Kingdoms", these two movies are very exciting......"
"Why are you so lined up? β
The customer grumbled and muttered, then said, "Then you can give me a copy of "Black Clouds"." β
Xinfeng handed the ticket to the other party.
Then, several more customers wanted to buy tickets for "Crazy Stone", but they were all disappointed.
"It sold out. β
"I also want to see what Xiao Huang said is a particularly funny movie, how wonderful it is......"
"There are too few films. β
"Book tomorrow's tickets online tonight, the more I can't buy tickets, the more I want to see ......"
A whisper of a customer came over.
Xinfeng's heart beats, as a senior movie ticket seller, he deeply understands what this situation means-
"Give me two copies of Crazy Stone. β
Thinking was interrupted again, this time by two people, a man and a woman, both wearing masks.
"I'm sorry, Crazy Stone is sold out. β
Xinfeng can only apologize again, this is the first time he doesn't know how many times he has apologized for the lack of tickets for "Crazy Stone".
"No tickets?"
The woman with the mask frowned.
The man on the side looked at him: "I'll make a phone call, and I should be able to ask the cinema to arrange it." β
The woman nodded.
Xinfeng was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at the two people in front of him, the woman should be in her forties, and she can't see her face clearly while wearing a mask, while the man is relatively much younger......
"Two, two!"
A few minutes after the man finished making the call, Xinfeng was stunned, because he saw that the theater owner who had not seen the end of Shenlong actually ran over in person: "We have arranged for the two of you, and there are still a few seats left!"
"Thank you. β
The woman spoke.
The owner of the cinema smiled and said: "It's okay, you two come to our cinema, it is an honor for our cinema!"
"Then we're in. β
The woman nodded and left with the man.
Xinfeng, who was stunned on the side, couldn't help but ask: "Boss, who are these two......
After saying that, Xinfeng regretted it.
How big the boss is, how can he talk casually, he even wants to slap himself twice, don't be scolded by the boss because of this.
"You didn't recognize it?"
What Xinfeng didn't expect was that the boss seemed to be in a good mood and actually took care of himself: "That man is Wang Ming, and that woman is ......"
A bright light flashed in my mind!
Xinfeng blurted out: "It's Jiang Yu!"
The boss booed: "Be quiet, these two people are low-key, I don't know if they want the outside world to know, so don't say it for the time being." β
"Understood, understood!"
Xinfeng nodded again and again, but he was a little shocked in his heart!
Wang Ming, one of the representative directors of the Mesozoic Generation, didn't expect that even Jiang Yu came to see the movie in person!
Who is Jiang Yu?
One of the top directors in China!
Qianyu Media has a bigwig-level existence, and even a man like Wang Ming must regard himself as a junior in front of him, so she will be interested in "Crazy Stone"?
"This "Crazy Stone". β
The boss glanced at the screen: "Tickets sold out?"
Xinfeng nodded again and again: "This movie may be about to explode, although the first box office performance is not good, but there are too many audiences who buy tickets by name in the second show......"
"I see. β
The boss's eyes were thoughtful.
On the other side, Jiang Yu, who entered the cinema, said: "I asked you to watch "Crazy Stone" with me, are you unhappy?"
"Not really. β
Wang Ming smiled freely: "I also want to see what level the director Jiang Shi has always admired." β
"I didn't care at first. β
Jiang Yu took off her mask, the lights in the movie theater were dim, and no one noticed that she, the top domestic director, was sitting in a certain seat: "It was an old friend of mine who tried his best to emphasize this young man to me, so I couldn't help but be curious and watched his works." β
"Old friends?"
"Wen Luping, that old fellow. β
Jiang Yu said, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked: "Speaking of which, you are also from our Jinghua, Luo Yuan should be your junior brother, right?"
Wang Ming nodded.
In a sense, there are factions in the Chinese film industry, based on major film and television schools and localities, and there is a certain competition between them.
Of course, this competition is not obvious.
Only at the critical moment will the antagonism between the factions be revealed, and the director who is not strong enough in status and strength, even if he is born in a certain faction, cannot fit into it, and is regarded as a member of which faction.
"The movie begins. β
A minute later, Jiang Yu suddenly spoke, and Wang Ming looked up at the movie screen.
