Chapter 353 Midnight Show Tickets Are Going to Be Sold Out?
After dealing with a group of frantic reporters at the press conference, John dragged his tired body back to Purple Star Manor.
These reporters are much more difficult to deal with than movie fans, and they have all kinds of crazy questions for the sake of news.
Of course, there are also things that make John happy, such as listening to a reporter from the Los Angeles Times that if Forrest Gump won the box office of the year, Michael Ovitz would kiss the ass of a donkey.
When John heard the news, he promised on the spot to give Michael Ovitz a donkey for free when the time came.
And when the time comes, he will also help Michael Ovitz shave the hair off the donkey's buttocks, so as not to have a mouthful full of hair, which will affect the taste.
Back at Purple Star Manor, John said a halt and walked upstairs, today is the premiere again, and it is a press conference, he is so tired that he wants to rest early.
But Dani behind him suddenly stopped him: "Boss! You're going upstairs to rest, aren't you waiting for the box office data at midnight?"
"No, get up tomorrow morning and watch it! Do you have to wait for the box office at midnight?" John looked at the crowd.
"Of course, otherwise you won't be able to sleep soundly. Nancy nodded. Her statement was unanimously agreed by Dinney, Devon Morgan, and Darren Morgan.
"Alright then, you wait, I'll go to sleep first. But don't expect too much, "Forrest Gump" is not the kind of film that will hit the box office. With that, John took Hatcher up to the second floor.
John's words are based on evidence, although "Forrest Gump" ranked first at the annual box office in his previous life, the box office has never exploded, and the box office in the first week of release was only $24 million, which made Paramount think that the movie was going to hit the street.
But it turns out that the box office is not a big explosion and it will not necessarily hit the street, although "Forrest Gump" has not had a so-called explosion from beginning to end, but its box office trend is surprisingly stable and strong, such a box office does not look good at the beginning, but with a month, two months, three months and so on, the power is revealed.
This also fulfills the saying: the one who wins first is not a winner, and the one who can laugh last is the big winner.
John went to bed and turned off the lights and fell asleep, the theaters in major cities in the United States were still brightly lit, and there were still some crowds compared to usual, and there were three movies tonight with midnight shows, which was the time for hardcore movie fans.
"Tussaud, are we here too early, the movie is still three hours away!"
"No, if it's too late, there will definitely be no tickets. Tussaud looked at the two little sisters with an affirmative expression, and since seeing the trailer for Forrest Gump at the Super Bowl, they had made an appointment to watch the midnight show together.
"Forrest Gump" is not a super blockbuster like "Star Wars", "Jurassic Park", and "Terminator", how can the tickets for the midnight show be sold out. A brown-haired girl didn't believe Tussaud's words.
"If you don't believe me, sit in the lobby and wait, Irene, I bought tickets to Starbucks and waited while drinking coffee. ”
"I don't want to sit in the hall alone!"
The three girls played all the way to the ticket gate, because they came relatively early, there were not many people in line, and soon it was their turn.
"Three tickets to the midnight show of Forrest Gump, thank you. Tussaud said as she handed the prepared money to the conductor.
The conductor received the money and quickly printed three tickets and handed them to her.
"Thank you!"
After Tussaud got the ticket, she was about to go to Starbucks next door with her two little sisters, but before she could take a step, a black-haired woman on the side suddenly walked over, looked at them and said, "Hello, I am a volunteer of Borderless Public Welfare Organization." The black-haired girl said and showed the volunteer work card on her chest to Tussauds, and continued: "Forrest Gump is a public welfare movie, and all profits will be given to the Borderless Charity Foundation for public welfare, so in order to thank everyone for their support for public welfare, the Borderless Frontières Foundation has specially made a commemorative ribbon for every fan, can I tie it for you?"
The black-haired woman said and raised the ribbon in her hand towards the three Tussauds.
"Absolutely. Tussaud reached out.
The black-haired woman helped them tie the ribbon and introduced, "There is also an advantage to tying this ribbon, you can enjoy an 8.8% discount when you go to Starbucks, KFC, and Pizza Hut next door to buy things." ”
"Really? Great, we're getting ready to sit at Starbucks. Tussaud looked at the ribbon on her wrist with a look of surprise, but she didn't expect this ribbon to have such benefits.
After tying the ribbons, Tussauds took the two little sisters to the Starbucks next door to the theater, as the black-haired woman said, Starbucks saw them with ribbons in their hands, and happily gave them an 8.8% discount.
Of course, this is not Starbucks suddenly becoming generous, but the joint activities of Starbucks and "Forrest Gump", Starbucks needs to attract customers to spend in the store, and "Forrest Gump" needs to provide some benefits for fans, so as to increase the topic and increase exposure, so such a joint activity is beneficial for both parties.
As the time got closer to the midnight show, the number of people in the theater also increased, and soon there was a long queue in front of the ticket gate.
"Hello, please give me two tickets to the midnight show of Forrest Gump. ”
"A midnight show of "The Shawshank Redemption". ”
"Two "Vulgar" midnight scenes. ”
"A ticket to the midnight show of Forrest Gump. ”
"Four midnight performances of Forrest Gump, thank you!"
"Two tickets to the midnight show of Forrest Gump. ”
"Yalvis, we should have come sooner. A brown-haired man in the line looked at the long line, a little worried that the tickets would be sold out.
"yes! I knew we should have come to buy tickets for Forrest Gump first, and then we would have eaten. A dark-haired man behind the brown-haired man replied.
"Who knew this would happen!" Jarvis scratched his head in annoyance.
He is also puzzled now, it stands to reason that "Forrest Gump" is not a big-budget commercial film, so there shouldn't be such a hot ticket-buying scene!
But the scene in front of him told him that most of these people in line, like them, came to see "Forrest Gump".
In fact, not only was Jarvis puzzled, but Lydia, the investigator of the consulting company sitting in the lobby of the theater, was also confused.
She is an employee of an investigation and consulting company employed by New Line Film and Television, and this time she was arranged to go to this theater to collect some data and word-of-mouth of "Forrest Gump".
After a few hours of observation, she found that there were a lot of people who came to the theater to watch the midnight show of "Forrest Gump", and the number of people actually broke out in a large area after 10 o'clock, and now the queue has been lined up outside the theater, and there are still a steady stream of audiences, according to this trend, the midnight tickets for "Forrest Gump" will definitely be sold out.
Tickets for the Midnight Show are sold out!
It would be crazy if that really happened.
None of the Jurassic Park that Lydia investigated last year did.
You must know that "Jurassic Park" is an A-level commercial film, or Spielberg's work, and "Forrest Gump" is just a medium-investment love inspirational film, and the cast is larger, as for the director of the film, it can't be compared with Spielberg at all.
"Is the Super Bowl so influential? Or is there some other reason?"
Lydia looked at the long line and thought to herself, but she didn't have a clue, but she knew that if Forrest Gump's midnight show was sold out today, all the media in the country would go crazy tomorrow.
