On Sunday, October 14, the third day of the online release of "Chinese Partner".

Strictly speaking, in fact, the major theaters were not optimistic about how well "Chinese Partner" could make money in the box office market, and the fact that they were able to give 24% of the film schedule on Friday is already the result of the work done by China Film and Fiber Optic Media.

Even so, there are still many theater managers who secretly slander themselves: Han Shanping has gone crazy in order to leave a good resume for himself before leaving office, and in order to cater to the 'China dream' concept of Shangfeng.

A twenty-two-year-old hairy boy directs such a film with the prefix 'China', and the theme still spans the changes of the 30 years of reform and opening up......

God!

Thirty years ago, director Li Mo didn't know where to go......

For the events of that era, the characters, the emotional projection, these details in all aspects need the director to make ideas......

Li Mo: Okay?

Until the day of the release of "Chinese Partner", there were still many colleges and universities that were ready to change the film schedule immediately if the income was not good.

However, "Chinese Partner" used two days to break 100 million yuan, and slapped everyone in the face.

Interests come first, and the major theater chains that are chasing interests are naturally not fools.

There is no need for China Film or Fiber Optic Media to do any more work, on the 14th, that is, early on Sunday morning, almost all theaters issued a notice, following Saturday, to increase the number of films in "Chinese Partner" again.

This can't be said to be a theater philistine.

The most important thing in the cinema industry is not the interpersonal relationship in all aspects, nor the social entertainment that is ushered in, but the accurate grasp of the market and the audience's preferences.

Now the situation is very clear, driven by the high reputation of "China Partner", it can be expected that there will be high returns in the future.

Since the number of screenings in a day is limited after all, now that the screening of "Chinese Partner" has not only money to make, but also can sell China Film and Fiber Optic Media, who else is willing to choose to waste precious films on movies such as "Tsunami: Shark Mouth Escape", "Cold Light in Daylight", and "Spy Pursuit", which have neither publicity nor attention?

At nine o'clock in the morning, Xia Ming, the ticket front desk of the Imperial Capital UME Cinema Line, came to the Huaxing Cinema where he worked on time.

Although the screening time of the first movie today is 9:40 in the morning, in this era when there are no Taobao tickets and Maoyan movies, even if there are a few group buying websites that can buy movie tickets online, the way of 'buying' is still very primitive.

In this era, the way can only guarantee that you can buy movie tickets at a low price, as for which show you want to see, what seat, you still have to go to the front desk of the cinema in person and exchange it with the purchased redemption code.

However, even with this 'primitive' way of buying tickets online, it is still young people between the ages of 25 and 30 who are proficient in using it.

So generally on weekends, Xia Ming, as the ticket front desk, has several times more workload than on non-working days.

When Xia Ming changed into his work clothes and sat behind the ticket counter, many people had already consciously lined up in front of the counter.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

Clearing his throat, Xia Ming started his day's work.

"When was the last performance of "The Chinese Partner"?

The customer who asked was a middle-aged man in his early thirties, although he was far from being old in other places, but in Xia Ming's memory, there were still very few customers of this age who would watch the movie so early.

Glancing at the display screen in front of him slightly, Xia Ming replied politely: "Hello, I checked, the most recent show of "Chinese Partner" was at 9:40, and now there is still half an hour before the opening, do you want to buy movie tickets for this show?"

The middle-aged man barely thought about it and quickly made a decision.

"Please give me two tickets for the 9:40 show, and see if the G7 and G6 seats have been sold? If not, I'll want them. ”

"Hello, sir, I checked, the two positions you just mentioned have not been sold yet, and the total of two tickets is 60 yuan. ”

"Okay, then I'll ask for these two positions, which are sixty dollars. ”

Looking for money, printing bills, Xia Ming, who was skillful, quickly completed the first order of the day.

Before he could catch his breath, the customers behind him came one after another.

"Chinese Partner", two photos. ”

"Chinese Partner", 4 sheets. ”

"Chinese Partner", three sheets. ”

"Hurricane Rescue 2", two. ”

…………

An hour later, when Xia Ming finally found a spare colleague to sit at the ticket counter for him, he noticed that today's theater hall was a little different from usual.

In the huge theater hall, there are only a few pairs of young men and women in their 20s, and most of the others are over 30 years old......

Although Xia Ming has only been working here for more than a year, in his impression, most of the people who come to the cinema to watch movies are mainly young people around 20 years old and below, but the audience this weekend is basically middle-aged people around 30 years old......

Most of these people are buying tickets for "Chinese Partner".

For the movie "Chinese Partner", Xia Ming is naturally no stranger.

Speaking of which, Li Mo, the director of this movie, is still one of the few directors he likes.

Young, talented, and most importantly, he knows what young people like these days.

It's just that Xia Ming didn't expect that after the success of "Master of Hypnosis", Li Mo would actually choose "Chinese Partner", a theme similar to a propositional composition and singing praises of virtue.

For this reason, Xia Ming even felt that Li Mo was 'recruited'.

Even though the news release of "Chinese Partner" vigorously promoted the news that the film was released for two days and the box office exceeded 100 million, Xia Ming still instinctively thought that this was a 'political achievement' project made by China Film Group in order to cater to some people.

It's normal, who said that there hasn't been a real-time updated movie box office query tool these days?

Everyone in the circle knows that the box office data released by major distribution companies are more or less watery.

However, when Xia Ming saw these people in the hall of his theater, he was originally not interested in the movie "Chinese Partner", and even vaguely repulsed, he suddenly had an impulse: "When I turn over the shift this afternoon, I will also go to see what the movie "Chinese Partner" is about, and what kind of story Li Mo brings this time." ”

Just when Xia Ming was sitting in the lounge of his unit and secretly made up his mind, the director Li Mo, who was 'recruited' in his eyes, was actually less than twenty meters away from him in a straight line.

Yes, Li Mo was in the waiting hall of the UME Huaxing Cinema at this time.
