Chapter 132: Tricks
"The birds in the trees come in pairs,
The green water and green mountains are smiling;
Pluck a flower at will,
I wear my hair with my wife,
……”
Just a few days after the start of mid-June, the entrance of the Happy Cinema on Jordan Road was overcrowded, with people queuing up to buy tickets, setting up stalls in front of the door, and maintaining order.
What a lively scene!
A little higher in the upper right corner of the theater gate, under the huge advertisement for "Tianxian Pei", a huge tweeter is hung, and a yellow plum tune is being played repeatedly and tirelessly.
As for the release, it is "Husband and Wife Return Home" that has been sung all over the streets and alleys in the past few days.
Maybe I heard a lot, and the vendors who set up the stalls, as well as the people queuing up against the big sun, some couldn't help but hum a few words along.
If you listen carefully, these people are still singing well.
About a week ago, this Huangmei tune suddenly began to be played in some record stores in Xiangjiang, which attracted the curious ears of many passers-by; but at first it was okay, after all, there were few record players in every household, and this song was not widely sung among the common people.
That is...... 'Li's Voice' also started playing the song on a loop.
The most cost-effective entertainment in these years is probably listening to the radio, and there are many ordinary people who have a simple radio at home.
In addition to cockfighting and dog walking, people like to crowd in front of the TV in the 80s, and people like to squeeze in front of the radio to listen to programs.
Otherwise, why would sky movies be so popular at this time!
The so-called sky movie, we have to mention the famous column of "Li's Voice" - the sky.
This is a program created in 1949 by a broadcaster named Li Wu when he joined the 'Voice of Li', mainly to tell some of the stories he created.
So how did Li Wu create it?
Before you start, write a simple outline of the story, no more than 100 words, and then ...... took these 100 words and went up directly to speak, all the way to the present, all the way to the present.
Although the outline has a story, it is not disjointed, but how strong is the artistic performance?
But just like that, those audiences still listened to it with a good taste, and the audience of 'Li's Voice' increased sixfold in a year.
Then these stories were seen by some producers and took the opportunity to buy the rights and make them into Cantonese films. Because there have been so many such movies in the past two years, they are collectively called 'sky movies'.
What is rare and commendable is this kind of film, because it has an innate audience base, and it has never lost money!
It can be seen that at this time, the impact of the "Cry of Beauty" broadcast is huge.
So as soon as Yang Qiu's trick came out, it was still there!
Because the tune of this song "Husband and Wife Return Home" is simple and the lyrics are easy to understand, many people have learned it by themselves before it has been played on the radio a few times.
So it was sung by word of mouth, and it suddenly made this song popular among the crowd.
Not only do young people talk to me and sing to each other when they have nothing to do, but even the mud dolls who run around the street all day long and wear open crotch pants can hum a couple of sentences casually.
And because Huang Mei is between drama and song, taking into account the people of the old and new eras, and the slightly heavier components of the play, it has attracted a group of older people.
Yang Qiu has seen more than once in the past two days, those old people who can't speak Mandarin clearly, singing one by one 'brine light fan to reduce inflammation'.
I don't know where this butt is injured, and I have to gently fan it with brine to reduce inflammation......
This song was sung so popular that Yang Qiu got the Jinguo Cinema Line, which should have been the full support of the Cantonese cinema line; and even so that most of the Xiangjiang people knew that there was a movie called "Tianxian Pei" to be released; and as for the first day of the release of "Tianxian Pei", all the theaters of the Jinguo Cinema Line were overcrowded.
In addition, Yang Qiu made another move, which made "Tianxian Pei" popular by three points!
"What?!" At the ticket window, a rough-looking man was stunned: "Today's ticket is gone?"
The thin conductor in the window didn't care about the big man's look at all, and said without raising his head: "Not only are today's tickets gone, but tomorrow's tickets are gone, but the day after tomorrow, do you want to buy them?"
"This ......"
Dahan was a little hesitant, who would know what would happen the day after tomorrow, in case something happened when he couldn't watch it, wouldn't this ticket be bought in vain.
It's really painful, the big man scolded in his heart, who came up with the 'long-term pre-sale' thing, it's really a 'talent'!
In the past, it was a big deal to wait for two or three hours to see how good it was to buy on the same day.
Now it's ...... I've been waiting for two or three days.
Damn!
"Hey, hey!" The conductor looked at the big man and kept his head silent, so he knocked on the window with a pen and said to him: "Do you buy it or not, if you don't buy it, let the people behind you go." ”
"Buy, buy, buy!" The big man was thinking of the spicy yellow-faced woman at home, so he immediately nodded like a quail, and asked, "But can I buy the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes. ”
"Then bring me four third-class seats, just five o'clock in the afternoon. ”
"Okay, four third-class seats, half past five in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. As he spoke, the conductor took out the board from a dozen seat boards next to him, found the board of the show, put it in the window and handed it over to the pen and said: "Come, you choose your own place to tick, by the way, thank you for your patronage, four movie tickets are six yuan eight, thank you." ”
"Forehead......" The big man who had just gotten the pen was a little stunned, pointed to the advertising board not far from him and said, "No, didn't you say buy three get one free?"
The conductor leaned out of the window, also pointed to the board and said, "Ha, you see, what is written on it is that the movie is pre-sold three days ago and get one free, and you are the fourth day after tomorrow." ”
"What?!"
The big man was a little dumbfounded, so he looked at the advertising board carefully, and sure enough, on the far right of the word 'pre-sale', he saw the words 'three days before the movie', which was smaller than his fist, and immediately felt a little confused.
What's so ......
O profiteers!
Do you advertise this!!
Isn't that bluffing!
If the boss of this movie were here now, Dahan would definitely beat that guy's dog brain!
Then take it to the stewed hot pot and sprinkle some more......
"Hey, hey!" The conductor felt impatient at this time, and screamed again with a crooked mouth, interrupting the big man's thoughts: "What are you in a daze, do you want this ticket?"
“…… , to, no, no, no, no. The big man was also dancing for a while.
The conductor frowned and said disdainfully, ", do you want it or not?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Dahan hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "But I'm going to change it to the day after tomorrow." ”
"The day after tomorrow?"
"Yes yes yes ......"
"Humph!"
The conductor snorted coldly, pulled back the board on the windowsill, took out a seat board from the side, put it on the windowsill, pointed to the board that was almost full of hooks, and said: "Choose your own place, by the way, the ticket price is five yuan one." ”
“……”
After buying the tickets, Dahan sweated profusely to protect the four hand-filled movie tickets, and squeezed out of the crowd with great difficulty, and vaguely seemed to hear it again, and there was an exclamation of 'sold out?!' from the window.
"Phew!"
If it weren't for the yellow-faced woman at home who wanted to see it, who would be willing to suffer this crime, Dahan looked at the movie ticket in his hand, spat it fiercely, and then took the movie ticket he had bought so hard into his arms.
Then turn around and get ready to go home.
Then......
I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl next to me, looking at him with an angry face on her head.
The big man looked at himself, didn't notice anything wrong, then frowned, and deliberately raised his hand and said fiercely: "Yellow-haired girl, look at what! Be careful that I beat you." ”
"Huh-" The corners of the little girl's mouth pursed, and she looked at the big man and said, "You don't dare." ”
"You...... Who said I wouldn't dare!" Dahan was anxious and said fiercely with his eyes up.
The little girl tilted her head, and said with her chin to the outside of the theater: "Heh, you have the ability to beat it, look at what the poor guy patrolling the road over there says." ”
“……”
The big man was so choked that he almost turned his back on his breath, shook his hand and turned to leave, scolding secretly as he walked: "Damn, I'm in a hurry with a little girl!
'Smack' ——!
The big man here was still scolding, and he didn't care that there was a person running on the road ahead, and with a 'bang', the arms of the two of them hit a stumble, and the big man almost fell.
"Groove!"
After staggering for a while, the big man finally stabilized his figure, but when he looked up, there were people coming and going at the gate of the theater, and there was still the figure of the person who had just hit him.
I don't know if it's tall or short, or fat or ...... 8)
