Section 466: Want a ticket?
Shanghai Ganglong Poly Theater is one of the largest cinemas in Shanghai, located in the Ganglong Center in Jing'an District, which has a huge flow of people.
Located in such a prime location, coupled with the advantages of the cinema brand, perfect theater and environmental configuration, the business of Ganglong Poly Theater has always been very good, generally after shopping and eating in Ganglong Building, and then going to Poly Theater to watch a movie, this is the complete dating process, one-stop service, no need to run around.
The same goes for Chen Wanxian.
She has a weekend break, and she has already arranged today's process.
After finishing the meal with Sang Yangdi in a Cantonese restaurant downstairs, the two went to a café to sit down, rested for a while, and saw that the time was almost up, so they came up to the Poly Theater on the sixth floor, ready to enter the movie, but today's situation seems to be a little wrong, a little too lively......
Ganglong Poly Theater is located in the southeast corner of the sixth floor of Ganglong Commercial Building, two people go up to the sixth floor from the escalator, the more they walk in the direction of Poly Theater, the more people gather in twos and threes, and most of them stop and move, these people do not seem to be the kind of mobile shopping mall crowds, but purposefully focus on this.
The sporadic words heard along the way also prove this.
"There are too many people today, right?"
"Why don't we change it?"
"Why don't you go in and ask again, or see if anyone is willing to sell it?......"
……
Listening to those sporadic words, these people seemed to be watching the movie, which made Chen Wanxian secretly surprised.
Ganglong Poly Theater is the place where Chen Wanxian most often comes to see movies, and after she came to Shanghai, most of the movies she watched were watched here, so she is also very familiar with the situation of Ganglong Poly Theater: the business here is really good, very lively, especially on weekends and holidays, the business is better and more lively. But this kind of lively situation in front of her, even she, a regular customer of Ganglong Poly Theater, has never seen it.
Maybe it can be so lively on the first day of the Lunar New Year?
But now it's just a normal day in July, and it's not a special holiday, and she doesn't know about the summer vacation situation of Ganglong Poly Theater in previous years.
And after finally entering the Ganglong Poly Theater, this situation is even more prevalent.
The waiting, resting, and shopping areas of the Ganglong Poly Theater are connected very large, so even if it is located in such a commercial center with a huge flow of people, it is always enough to accommodate it. But today, the reception capacity of Ganglong Poly Theater has ushered in a huge test.
As far as Chen Wanxian sees, today's Ganglong Poly Theater can be described as "overcrowded".
Although it is not to the point where you can't walk, it is not too much worse, and there are people everywhere, which is really the same as the New Year. Looking at the ticket purchase office again, it makes people's scalp tingle: I saw that in front of the six ticket purchase channels, people lined up in six long lines, just like the low-profile version of the Spring Festival ticket, which made people want to cut off the desire to buy tickets.
"It's New Year?"
Seeing this situation, Sang Yangdi couldn't help muttering, and at the same time subconsciously tightened Chen Wanxian's hand, as if she was afraid that she would be lost.
Don't say it, it's really possible to get it out of this situation at the scene.
Chen Wanxian was also secretly speechless, but neither of them expressed concern about the difficulty of buying tickets at the ticket office - their tickets had already been bought.
As fans of Shen Huan, they are here for "Avatar" today, and the tickets have already been bought, and they are still the most expensive tickets.
Here, I have to talk about the ticket sales of "Avatar".
Different from normal movies, "Avatar" has several ticket prices, and the price range is very large, from low to high, respectively 30-50 2D ordinary screening halls, 70-90 3D screening halls, and the most expensive, 80-130 3D + IMAX screening halls. Among them, according to the different movie theaters, the ticket prices of each movie theater are also different, basically floating in such a range, of course, some movie theaters that have not updated the theater line, and they can't sell the most expensive tickets if they want to.
The Ganglong Poly Theater is fully equipped, and there are "Avatar" performances of various stalls, and Chen Wanxian, who is not bad for money, naturally buys the most expensive 3D+IMAX tickets.
Just when the two of them were surprised by the scene in front of them, a little flat-headed man came up, looked left and right, and asked in a low voice: "Friend, do you want a ticket?" "Avatar" 3D, eight o'clock field, 150 sheets, no need to queue up. ”
Sang Yangdi didn't react for a moment, glanced at the man, and didn't speak.
Xiao Pingtou seemed to have misunderstood, and said: "You really don't want to be too expensive, you can go and try it now, you will know that there is no longer anything to sell, and not only here, but also in other places, this price is really not expensive." Then he looked at Sang Yangdi twice and said, "There are also eight o'clock in "Aftershock", this one is cheap, 60 sheets. ”
“……”
Chen Wanxian had heard of this situation, but it was the first time she had encountered a scalper in the cinema.
"No need,"
Sang Yangdi also reacted and rejected the scalper, "We have a ticket." ”
When the scalper heard this, he stopped pestering, and turned around to leave, but a couple of men and women who seemed to be a couple walked up to him, and the boy asked: "Is there a ?...... of 3DIMAX in "Avatar"?"
Chen Wanxian and the others didn't stay at the door for long, and walked in slowly - it's not that they want to walk slowly, but they can't do it if they want to go fast, there are so many people.
"I really didn't expect that even scalpers came out. ”
Chen Wanxian looked a little happy, "The box office should be very impressive." As a die-hard fan of Shen Huan, Shen Huan's works are hotly chased, and she will be happy for him.
Sang Yangdi disagreed with this, and rationally analyzed: "It's too early to say this, "Avatar" is very hot, and with today's premiere, it is reasonable that this situation will occur." ”
The popularity of "Avatar" in China is indeed very high, and when the high ticket price of more than 100 yuan came out, it also caused heated discussions in the society, which further promoted the popularity of this movie.
"It's just that what will happen in the end, it's hard to say now, but it still depends on how the movie goes. And if this movie wants to be a real success, it still depends on the overseas market, no matter how well it sells in China, it will not play a decisive role, so in the end, it will return to the quality of the movie itself. ”
"Besides, "Aftershock" is really good, which also has a big impact. ”
Because "Aftershock" was released a day earlier, the two had already watched "Aftershock" yesterday.
This work directed by Chen Zishan did not live up to the expectations of the public, it was filmed very well, and the combination of commerciality and artistry was quite good, showing Chen Zishan's superb directing ability, and the two also agreed that it was very good after watching it, much better than Chen Zishan's last "Thorn Qin".
In literary terms, that is, this "Aftershock" has a soul, which is what Chen Zishan's previous "Thorn Qin" lacked, and it is also the most touching thing.
And this can also be seen from the online evaluation of "Aftershock", and most netizens have given good reviews.
"Well, that's right. ”
Chen Wanxian agreed with her boyfriend's statement, "But I believe that Shen Huan will not let me down." ”
Hearing this, Sang Yangdi smiled, "I also hope that this movie will live up to this ticket price." ”
The two walked and talked, and they had come to the waiting area, but at present, it was overcrowded, and all the chairs were already full, and there was nowhere to sit.
Originally, Sang Yangdi wanted to say that he was going to buy something to eat, but he just looked at the queue in the shopping area and looked at his watch, and he finally gave up this idea.
The two people who didn't have to worry about buying tickets came in a hurry, and they really didn't have much time for him to waste in queuing.
And it was good to pinch the watch, although I couldn't sit down and rest, but after staying here for a while, the ticket gate opened.
