Chapter 188: The Outbreak of Christmas
As for whether CGV will do tricks, Park Ji-sub is really a little hard to say. Although "The King's Man" was removed from the shelves with 12.3 million viewers in the previous life, the investor was CJ, and the influence of the film reform system and President Roh Moo-hyun personally watched this achievement.
There are too many factors influencing it, some of which are within Park Ji-sub's control, but more of them are in the uncontrollable range. For example, this time South Korea and the United States implemented an FTA, and South Korea forcibly revised the quota system for domestic films, which is not something that Park Ji-sub can control at all.
For example, Roh Moo-hyun personally went to the cinema to watch "The King's Man", which Park Ji-sub could not control.
Therefore, Park Ji-sub made a bet with Lee Tae-ran from the beginning, and he was not really confident, but really gambling. But for now, he's going to have a big chance of winning. Through the early publicity, packaging, plus a debate between him and Professor Kim, and the popularity of the name Citrine, it took less than half a month for "The King's Man" to spread in South Korea.
December 24, Christmas! It's a good time to be, although it's not an official holiday, and there are no holidays. But young Korean men and women who have been affected by Western culture will come out of the house after work or school, go to the restaurant for a meal, and then watch a movie - until the woman is emotional, and take the other party to the house to eat 'bananas' in such a romantic atmosphere, which is something that many men repeat.
Park Ji-sub, Jeongtae with lofty ideals, naturally follows this principle, even if "The King's Man" may be calculated now, Park Ji-sub is not in a hurry at all. Anyway, he can't shake CJ, so he might as well live happily.
"Hey, I haven't been out shopping for a long time." Quan Xiaosheng wore a light yellow scarf and shouted happily jumping up and down the street.
Behind Jeon Hyo-sung, Song Qian, Cui Zhina, Jin Yubin, and Kim Youzhen looked at this teammate with a lot of pressure on their faces. Although the five of them have begun to train on stage and have to adapt to the gaze of others, the feeling of standing on the street and being watched by the onlookers on the stage cannot be confused.
"Give me silence, don't be ashamed." Cui Zhina, who really couldn't stand it, stepped forward and slapped Quan Xiaosheng's head, and said angrily.
Quan Xiaosheng pouted aggrievedly and wanted to refute, but when he saw Cui Zhina raise his hand, he took the opportunity to hold back his words. She was born in ** year, but among the five girls, she is an out-and-out busy identity. Naturally, it has become normal to be bullied and disciplined occasionally.
Since Park Ji-sub took over GOOD, all the free time of the five of them has been occupied by practice, except for a fixed rest time. Park Ji-sub seems to be destroying the potential of the five, dancing, singing, etiquette, and occasionally following the myth to perform commercially.
"Ernie, let's go see "The King's Man", just to increase the box office for Ji-sub." After being taught a lesson, Quan Xiaosheng suddenly became honest, but immediately gave his own proposal.
The proposal of the big-breasted busy man was immediately approved by several people, and Cui Zhina also specially translated it for Song Qian, explaining Quan Xiaosheng's thoughts. The group reached a consensus and went to the CGV Cinema in Myeongdong together.
Choi Ji Na is in charge of buying tickets, Jeon Hyo-sung and Kim Yu Bin are in charge of buying popcorn and Coke, and Song Qian is honestly following Kim Yoo-jin so as not to get separated. The security in Seoul, South Korea is not as good as imagined, and Song Qian looks like a bully outsider, so the girls don't worry about her alone.
After everything was done, several people took the tickets in their hands and prepared to enter the venue, but Jin Youzhen, who was more delicate, suddenly found a very strange problem.
"Ernie, this ticket...... Did you buy the wrong one? Kim Youjin looked at the movie ticket in his hand, frowned and asked Cui Zhina.
"Huh?"
Jin Youzhen's words attracted the attention of the rest of the people, and they all picked up the tickets in their hands and looked at them, and they were speechless for a while. obviously said that he would watch "The King's Man", but the ticket in his hand was the admission ticket to "Typhoon" starring Zhang Dongjian.
"Hey, I'll exchange the ticket." An embarrassment flashed on Cui Zhina's face, and she snatched back the movie tickets that had been sent to several people and turned around and ran. In her heart, she scolded the conductor half to death, she said that it was "The King's Man", and actually gave her "Typhoon".
After a while, Cui Zhina returned to the women, and at the same time distributed the tickets for "Typhoon" to several people again, and said in a very helpless tone: "The conductor said that the ticket was printed incorrectly, this is the ticket for "The King's Man", we can go in and watch it with this." ”
"Is this okay?" Jin Yubin said with a ridiculous face: "Then when the box office is counted, who is it?" ”
"Maybe CGV has its own computing system inside!" Choi Ji Na said with some uncertainty.
"Probably a fart." Jeon Hyo-sung's sudden angry shouting made several girls stunned, only to see that this big-chested busy, who usually had a hippie smile on his face, was full of anger, and gritted his teeth and said, "Ji-sub has a bet with Minister Lee Tae-ran of CGV. ”
"Bet?" Cui Zhina's delicate face was filled with confusion and asked.
"Well, if the box office of "The King's Man" exceeds 12 million viewers this time, Ji-sub can take 80% of the box office share." Quan Xiaosheng nodded with a gloomy expression and said, "I didn't expect CGV to use such a despicable method. ”
"You mean ......"
Song Qian, who seemed to understand whether she understood or not, asked curiously after synthesizing the conversations of several people: "CGV deliberately took other movie tickets to watch "The King's Man", and secretly changed the concept in exchange for the box office? ”
"Hey, Ernie, you watch the movie, I have to tell Ji-sub." Jeon Hyo-sung suddenly became anxious, shoved the popcorn in his hand into Kim Youzhen's hand, turned around and ran out of the cinema.
"Are we going to follow?" Jin Yubin asked Cui Zhina with an inexplicable expression.
"What are you doing with the past? Make a light bulb. Cui Zhina smacked her mouth and said a little sourly: "Zhixie also likes this girl a little, didn't we feel uncomfortable in the past." ”
"That's right, if it's me, I also like Xiaosheng's kind of feeling, when I laugh." Jin Yubin smiled with relief and said happily.
"I'm sorry, I think - the reason Ji-sub likes Hyo-sung isn't because of his smile." Kim Youjin grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering, "You see Song Qian looks good when she laughs, but Ji-sub doesn't behave abnormally." ”
"So in summary, it's just because this girl has big breasts." Jin Youzhen said succinctly.
"What nonsense, Ji-sub is only thirteen years old." Cui Zhina rubbed her temples weakly and said: "Okay, okay, I can't watch the movie, there is still more than a month of Spring Festival, just buy some gifts for Song Qian's family to take back, and let people know that we Koreans are still very friendly." ”
