Chapter 387: The Popularity of the Cinema
After lunch at noon, Wang Fei deliberately drove over to pick up Zhang Yang to go to the cinema together, and the cinema started on time at six o'clock this evening, and before that, a plaque was erected at the door of the cinema early, which was written about the two ** Crazy Boy blockbusters to be played tonight.
This is also decided by Zhang Yang, in this era, some of the most popular blockbusters are still very attractive, and everyone can only occasionally see one or two movies, so as soon as this signboard is played, naturally many people are willing to go to the movies.
After Zhang Yang got into the car, Wang Fei looked at Zhang Yang with some concern and asked, "Zhang Yang, you said that we set the price of movie tickets at two yuan and the VIP room at four yuan, will anyone come to see it?"
Since last night, Wang Fei has come back, in order to pick up Zhang Yang, as for the ticket sales at two o'clock this afternoon, Wang Fei still does not have much confidence in his heart.
After all, in this era, prices have not risen, and the ordinary expenses of a family are no more than fifty yuan at most, and the price of a movie is two yuan, and the VIP room is four yuan a piece, which is naturally a bit expensive in Wang Fei's opinion.
They didn't pay anything, at most they spent money on renovation and renting a house and buying a projector.
"No, after all, our movie theater is still a very new business, and with excellent decoration, everyone should come to see the movie, but as long as people who have watched a movie, if they have nothing to do later, they will come to see the movie, and naturally someone will come to see the movie, by the way, I told you before, is it okay to set up a drink and popcorn at the door of the movie theater?" Zhang Yang sat in the passenger seat and calmly replied to Wang Fei.
Regarding this matter of selling drinks and popcorn, Zhang Yang brought it up before, and Wang Fei still looked down on it a little in his heart, after all, he was just a snack seller, and it didn't have anything to do with watching movies; even in foreign countries, at this time, few people use this kind of chain bundling type of sales concept, plus the Internet fee was abroad before, and he only went to watch a movie once, so he naturally didn't understand this sales concept.
"It's already done, after all, it's just selling a little snack, and it doesn't need to occupy too much space, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with watching a movie, right?" Wang Fei finally couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.
In this regard, Zhang Yang smiled and explained: "Brother Xiaofei, if you think about it, a movie is at least more than an hour, and in this hour's time, if you are you, when watching a movie, will you feel dry mouth and eat something in your mouth, will it be more comfortable? β
Although Zhang Yang is a supermarket downstairs in their cinema, this does not affect anything, sometimes he can make more money, Zhang Yang naturally does not care, anyway, the investment is not big, who would not be happy about the steady profit and no loss.
What's more, Zhang Yang still asks for Coke drinks, although there are some KFCs in China, but they are all in big cities, and in small cities like this, there will basically be no such stores, let alone Coke and other drinks.
This is the advantage, and the advantage of the supermarket downstairs, most of the people who watch the movie are some young people, and young people are naturally the most susceptible to the influence of novelties, plus the price of Coke is much more expensive than the drink, everyone will subconsciously feel that this drink is relatively tall, and will be willing to buy it.
It's just these marketing concepts, but Zhang Yang didn't tell Wang Fei, and when the small store in the back makes money, Wang Fei will understand.
After an hour, Wang Fei finally drove to the cinema, and now it was only about one and a half o'clock, and as soon as the two stepped into the cinema, they found that the hall was already full of people, waiting for tickets at two o'clock.
Wang Fei was a little dumbfounded for such a situation, the sign on the door had clearly marked the price of the movie, and now there were still so many people waiting here, which naturally made Wang Fei a little shocked.
This hasn't started yet, there are so many people, if it starts to play later, and it is played continuously all day long, I wonder how many people will come to watch the movie?
Thinking of the hot business behind, Wang Fei's eyes couldn't help but glow, as if he had seen a lot of money beckoning to him.
After Zhang Yang and Wang Fei walked into the cinema, few people cared, everyone just thought that the two of them also came to watch the movie.
"Don't be impatient, sell tickets on time at two o'clock, originally today our cinema planned to play a movie at six o'clock in the evening, but seeing that everyone is so enthusiastic, so I, the boss, decided temporarily, two o'clock ticket sales, three o'clock to start playing the movie, as for not buying a ticket at three o'clock, we can only wait for the next movie, I hope you can forgive me, if you are idle, our cinema has a snack shop, you can buy some food at will, and this drink, we also brought back from abroad, I hope you can like itγ When Wang Fei made this decision, he also specially asked Zhang Yang.
In this regard, Zhang Yang naturally has no opinion, the popularity of the movie theater is also a bit beyond his imagination, if you continue to make everyone wait until six o'clock, it will inevitably make everyone a little dissatisfied.
So after Wang Fei's decision, everyone present cheered.
In order to be able to see the movie as soon as possible, under Wang Fei's arrangement, everyone lined up in an orderly manner to buy tickets, and at about half past two, the line was still long, which couldn't help but make some people feel dissatisfied.
Naturally, I was full of joy and took my girlfriend to the cinema to watch a movie, but some of the people who bought tickets later, in desperation, had to sit in the hall and wait.
And at this time, the snack shop that Zhang Yang decided before, the role was suddenly highlighted, many people were bored, they could only buy some food and wait quietly, although the price was a little expensive, but Wang Fei, the boss, had already said that these drinks were brought back from abroad, and it was common sense that the price was higher.
As for buying tickets for the next few movies, everyone went home, and when the time came, they came over, so there are not many people in the cinema now.
But when the first movie was played, there were still many people who came to buy tickets one after another, and after a rough calculation, in just over an hour, hundreds of movie tickets were sold, whether it was an ordinary room or a VIP, basically the tickets for one day were sold out today, and even tomorrow's movie tickets began to be sold.
Hundreds of movie tickets, that is more than 1,000 yuan, the equipment purchased by Wang Fei before, plus the decoration, only cost five or six thousand, according to this calculation, I am afraid that in less than half a month, it will all be earned.
This made Wang Fei feel very good.
"Zhang Yang, the business of this movie is really good, or later, I will immediately start to have people develop the third floor into a movie theater?" In a small private room next to the hall, Wang Fei asked Zhang Yang with some excitement.
The cinema can make money, which makes Wang Fei more and more concerned about Zhang Yang's opinions, and even a small snack shop that he didn't like before, although it has not been counted, but in Wang Fei's opinion, it is obvious that he has made a lot of money today.
"This is okay, but when the funds are sufficient, we can consider opening a movie theater in the south of the city, as for the movie theater area over there is not too large, because it is not like this side, it belongs to the school, and it is close to the downtown area. Zhang Yang nodded and agreed.
Just looking at Wang Fei's enthusiastic appearance, Zhang Yang couldn't bear to hit him, because in Zhang Yang's opinion, this movie theater is at most making some money in the past few years, and later, if you want to play movies without copyright in such a copyright, the country will come to you for trouble, at that time, even Xia Changhe can't help it.
"Tomorrow night, let's visit the secretary of the county party committee, now that the movie theater has opened, I will send Xia Changhe a few VIP movie tickets by the way, which is considered a fight, and I will go to school later, but there are people in the movie theater, it is a matter of time, so say hello in advance, and I am not afraid of being remembered by others." Zhang Yang looked at Wang Fei's excited face and couldn't help but say with a smile.
has seen the booming business of the cinema, where does Wang Fei dare to make people worry about the cinema, although he is a little reluctant to deal with Xia Changhe in his heart, but now there is no way, in order to make money, he has to put aside the unhappiness in his heart for a while.
"Okay, tomorrow we will prepare some things to visit the secretary of the county party committee; by the way, what should we prepare at that time?" Wang Fei looked at Zhang Yang with some hesitation.
"Just a few cigarettes and a few bottles of wine, and the things should not be too expensive, otherwise it seems that we have the heart to go over and beg him, and we are just a fair deal with him, so this thing is better to be simpler, otherwise, he really thinks that we are afraid of him." Zhang Yang chuckled lightly, and didn't take Xia Changhe to heart.
"Okay, I'll prepare it tomorrow, by the way, Zhang Yang, how much money will our movie theater make today?" Speaking of this, Wang Fei suddenly looked at Zhang Yang with some elation.
"According to my budget, plus time constraints, at most the time of the broadcast is about one o'clock in the evening, so we should be able to earn more than 1,000 yuan in one day today, and the cost of going out will also be nearly 1,000 yuan. Zhang Yang made a rough estimate before he said the number.
Although Wang Fei had been prepared for a long time, he was obviously still a little excited to get Zhang Yang's affirmation.
"If it is calculated in this way, 1,000 a day, 30,000 a month, this movie theater is inevitably too profitable!" Wang Fei was a little happy at the same time, but also looked at Zhang Yang with some admiration.
At the beginning, he was able to make so much money with an idea that popped up at random, and he was an absolute business genius.
