Chapter 207: The Audience Determines the Box Office
On July 5th, the day of the release of the return of the Great Sage, Zhang Yu had insomnia, but it was not because he was worried in his heart, but because he was harassed, at eleven o'clock the night before, Zhang Yu was still very sleepy, but Tian Peng, Ye Zhong, Wang Lun and Jin Li called together, and they didn't care that Zhang Yu was ready to upload to sleep before the release, and complained, Zhang Yu, who was not worried at all, also began to worry about the box office of the return of the Great Sage.

Zhao Shuang, who had just gotten up, pushed open the balcony door, and looked at Zhang Yu who was sitting on the balcony with wide eyes and looking at the balcony door, the pair of panda eyes, "I'll go, boss, are you scared of ghosts...... Are you worried about the box office of the return of the Great Sage? β
After patting his buttocks, Zhang Yu got up from the floor and rubbed his numb calves, "I'm worried about a fart, I'm getting insomnia from those nervous guys in the company!" β
Looking at Zhang Yu, Zhao Shuang pursed his lips, it turned out that his boss also had a time to die.
At this time, Zhang Yu finally felt a little sleepy, climbed onto the bed, and covered the blanket on his body.
But just over an hour later, Zhang Yu was woken up by Zhao Shuang, "What are you doing?" In a daze, Zhang Yu looked sideways at Zhao Shuang, who had just washed his hair, and asked in a slightly unhappy tone.
Zhao Shuang smiled apologetically at Zhang Yu: "409 is going to support the return of the Great Sage!" β
Zhang Yu is even more unhappy in his heart, support, I thank them, but there is no need to disturb me when I am sleeping, right?" β
Liu Sihai's head suddenly appeared in Zhang Yu's field of vision, and he smiled wickedly, "Then of course we want to buy tickets!" β
Zhang Yu slapped Liu Sihai in the face, "Buy a ticket and call me what to do, you can do it, there are still a few hours before the release!" β
Liu Sihai grabbed the bed railing, "Boss, are you unresponsive, do you know how popular the Great Sage is now, there is a long queue at the ticket window in the movie theater." β
Zhang Yu sat up from the bed all of a sudden, "Let's go, let's take a look." "Drowsiness disappeared into outer space in a ten-thousandth of a second, and the whole person became refreshed.
In order to support Zhang Yu's career, Lin Yuchun woke up the girls in dormitory 402 early in the morning, and the four of them went to the nearest movie theater, only to find that there was a long queue at the ticket window, and they were also talking about the return of the great sage.
Although he had already known the situation from the phone, standing outside this ordinary movie theater, Zhang Yu and the four of them were all stunned by the sobriety in front of them, "I'll go, what's the situation, so many people!" β
The queue went from the ticket window to the outside, and everyone had an anxious look on their faces: "I finally bought it after two hours of shooting." A young man with a thick dozen movie tickets in his hand walked past them with a cheer: "Dad, have you bought it?" A few meters away from him, a little girl jumped up and ran into his arms.
The man waved the movie ticket in his hand, "Of course I bought it, who is Dad!" β
Zhang Yu looked at the queue in front of him, his eyebrows were curled, the popularity of the return of the Great Sage was beyond his imagination, as for the box office, look at the situation in front of him, do you still need to worry, although the film schedule of the return of the Great Sage has not changed much from his previous life.
The queue suddenly stopped, and there was a sudden chaos in front of the ticket window, "Why is it gone, do you know how long we have been waiting?" β
The ticket seller looked at the queue that was still increasing behind him, and he was a little anxious, even when Kung Fu Panda was released, he didn't encounter today's situation, "Today's tickets have been sold out, everyone come early tomorrow." β
A young man in his twenties patted the window of the ticket office, "Why, only a few movie tickets were sold, and they were sold out, did you deliberately not want to sell them, we all came to see the return of the Great Sage, no matter what, sell tickets." β
Compared with the female conductor, the male conductor is much calmer, "Everyone be quiet, listen to me, it's really sold out, but we have already gone to report the situation to the manager, and I believe we will respond soon, so everyone wait patiently." β
Zhang Yu and the four of them walked along the team to Lin Yuchun's side, "Are you here?" β
Zhang Yu handed over the soy milk he bought outside, "Thank you for your support to me, let's drink something." β
Russell Su took the soy milk and glared at the empty-handed Xu Fei and the others, "It's still my brother-in-law who loves us, look at a few of you!" β
Liu Sihai smiled bitterly, "Grandma, what are you staring at me for, the money for this soy milk is mine." β
Zhang Yu smiled, "I was in a hurry to go out, and I forgot to bring my wallet." β
"Cut, it turned out that you borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, brother-in-law, you are too insincere."
Chen Ling bit the straw, "I don't think my brother-in-law needs our support anymore, an animation without stars will be bought out, and the box office of the return of the Great Sage will exceed 100 million, and it may surpass Kung Fu Panda." β
Cheng Xue looked at the ticket window that was still noisy, "Yes, Zhang Yu, you are going to invite us to a big meal." β
Zhang Yu shook his head, "It's not as simple as you think, just like Chen Ling said, this is an animation with no big productions and big stars, and many theaters are not optimistic about his box office, so today's filming is only a few percent...... However, you can still invite a large meal, say, what you want to eat, please you in the evening. β
A tall, thin middle-aged man in a suit ran past the line and came to the ticket window, "What's going on?" β
The female conductor grabbed the manager's arm and said excitedly, "Manager, you can be regarded as here, you see, these are all here to see the return of the great sage of Journey to the West." β
The manager looked at her puzzled, "It's a good thing that someone sees it, sell tickets." β
The male conductor patted the female conductor on the shoulder, "Manager, our theater has only opened one hall 5 to screen the return of the Great Sage, and all the tickets have been sold out." β
"The Great Sage has returned, I remember, it's that animation." The manager of the theater looked at the team in front of him and patted his head, "I remember that it was a domestic animation, how can it look more popular than Kung Fu Panda." β
This theater experience is one of the many theater managers who are not optimistic about the return of the great sage, just because domestic animation has become synonymous with young and naΓ―ve, and most of the release times chosen are summer files for elementary school students to take vacation, but the situation in front of him is beyond his expectations, and most of the long queues are men in their teens and twenties, or even thirty or forty years old.
Grabbing the sleeve of a young man in his twenties, the theater manager asked suspiciously, "Have you all come to see the return of the Great Sage of Journey to the West?" β
The young man glanced at the manager, "Of course, it's really unlucky, I came at half past nine, waited for more than forty minutes, and even told me that there were no tickets, I heard that the return of the great sage was low, but I didn't expect it to be so low, the managers of these theaters were blind one by one, and such a hot-blooded movie was not vigorously promoted." β
Although he was scolded for being blind, the manager of the theater was not annoyed at all, and asked a few people one after another, and the answer was that this was the animation they wanted to see the most, the most handsome loud, the most dazzling little white dragon, the most funny second senior brother, the most adorable Tang Seng, don't ask me why I'm cute, that's what it says in the brochure.
"There are still tickets for the nearby Tianmu Cinema, everyone go and buy them!" I don't know which one yelled, but the manager saw that the long line was half less in an instant, and all rushed out.
Seeing that the number of people in the team was getting smaller and smaller, the manager suddenly became anxious and yelled, "Listen to me, we also have tickets in the theater, don't worry, you can buy tickets in a few minutes." β
Grabbing the shoulder of the male conductor, the manager said excitedly, "Hurry up, replace all halls 3 and 5 with the return of the Great Sage." β
The male conductor was embarrassed and said, "But there are already movies in Hall 3 and Hall 5. β
Holding the hand of the male conductor, the manager pointed to the still hot team, "Look at it, what is this, this is the box office, this is the money, all in exchange for the return of the great sage, how many tickets have been sold for that movie." β
Lin Yuchun looked at Zhang Yu playfully, "Don't worry about the box office now, we just can't see it." β
Russell looked at the still long line in front of him, "That's right." After speaking, he pinched Zhang Yu's arm hatefully, "Brother-in-law, why don't you keep a few more tickets." β
Zhang Yu looked at the little lips on Russell Susu's baby face, "I suddenly remembered that I still have a few movie tickets for Wanda Cinema there." β
Excitedly hugging Zhang Yu's arm, Russell Su jumped up, eager to go up and kiss Zhang Yu, "Oh, I'm so excited, I was taken advantage of by you, brother-in-law." β
Chen Ling pinched Russell Susu's chest, "Susu, you don't seem to have anything to take advantage of, it's not half the size of our Yuchun, do you say it, brother-in-law." β
Russell gave Chen Ling a disgusted look, "You are so annoying, Zhao Shuang, take care of your women." β
"Ahh Zhao Shuang looked at Russell Susu: "I can't control her." β
Looking at Zhao Shuang's helpless appearance, several girls laughed, "You, a group of unscrupulous friends, I will strangle you!" β
Zhao Shuang pointed to the time on his watch, "I think if you continue to fight like this, we may not be able to catch up with today's lunch, but today is the boss's treat." β
This distraction worked so well that several of the girls stopped and said, "yes, let's go." β
Zhang Yu glanced at Zhao Shuang lightly, "I said that I was treating you at night, Zhao Shuang, your means of diverting attention are too clumsy!" β
"Oh, brother-in-law, you invited lunch by the way."
"Have you forgotten, I didn't have a wallet with me."
Russell Sujiao smiled and pulled Lin Yuchun's arm: "Isn't there a little rich woman here!" β
Lin Yuchun glared at the crazy Russell in disgust, "Say, what do you want to eat?" β
Russell tilted his head, "Let's go to the grilled fish restaurant last time, go to the tooth festival first, and have a big meal at night." She is a recognized foodie in the 409 dormitory, and she has already tasted all the snacks around BGI, even if she puts something in front of her nose blindfolded, she can tell which one.
