With a capacity of 3,000 people, it is quite a large cinema in Hong Kong.

Ordinary theaters are mostly small theaters with three to five hundred people.

As the audience entered one after another, the whole theater seemed a little noisy.

Of course, tickets for the Midnight Show are free.

The reason why movie tickets are also set up for midnight test screenings is because they are afraid that the audience will rush in and the number of people will exceed the load of the theater, which can easily cause accidents.

Although the midnight show of "Modern Bodyguard" is free to watch, it does not mean that the business is losing money.

Economists vividly point out the trick of making money in movie theaters - popcorn at the door of movie theaters is always more expensive than what is sold in supermarkets!

With the entry of a large number of moviegoers, in front of the theater, the food and drinks franchised by the theater have begun to sell like crazy! Bags of snacks, bottles of drinks.

The goods on the container were sold out in the blink of an eye.

Although the employees of Golden Harvest had already prepared, boxes of snacks and drinks were moved from the warehouse to the counter like an assembly line, but in a blink of an eye, they were sold out again

It can be said that at least a quarter of the 2,000 audience members bought large bags of snacks in the theater and watched movies while eating snacks.

If you only spend 10 yuan per person, you can also sell 20,000 yuan of goods.

A night can have a turnover of 20,000 yuan, and a medium-sized supermarket may not be able to do it!

Zhang Shaojie realized that the operation of a movie theater is not entirely about the box office of watching movies. Another big indicator that has been overlooked is the data on snack sales in movie theaters, which has never been published.

A well-run movie theater, in addition to box office revenue, snack sales, and all kinds of peripheral product sales, is also a profit growth point.

Only by making full use of the flow of movie audiences can we fully tap the operating benefits of cinemas!

"Annihilator! Everywhere are businessmen who make money and learn! Zhang Shaojie clearly saw the smile on Zou Wenhuai's face.

After a long wait, the cinema was full of spectators eating snacks.

However, they come to the cinema at night, not to chat or have a snack, but to watch "Modern Bodyguard"!

"Why haven't you put it yet, I'm dying!" A spectator shouted.

"Yes, everyone is almost full, release it, release it!" Soon a crowd of people began to coax.

With the commotion, the main creators of the movie and the personnel of Golden Harvest Company were a little nervous.

3,000 spectators, a little messy, can be out of control.

Seeing this, Xu Guanwen stood up openly, walked onto the stage, took the microphone and said, "Everyone be quiet, be quiet!" I'm director Xu Guanwen! Please be patient, the movie is scheduled to be shown in 15 minutes! If you feel impatient, how about I sing a song to you? ”

"Good!"

"Brother Wen, support you!"

"Sing! Sing! Sing! ”

Immediately, the audience was very emotional!

Xu Guanwen's singing is not good, and he is far from his younger brother Xu Guanjie. However, he also sang very seriously, and the song "Under the Lion Rock" had no musical accompaniment, and the audience began to quiet down.

Even began to sing "Under the Lion Rock" with Xu Guanwen!

This song is the city song of Hong Kong people, and the meaning of the song is that no matter how difficult it is, as long as we are in the same boat and work together, we can get through it.

After singing "Under the Lion Rock", the audience was also in full peace - just waiting a few more minutes is not difficult!

In fact, it is worth it to let Xu Guanwen sing a song on stage to comfort their emotions.

The reason why it can't be screened in advance is because some reporters and film critics will enter the theater one after another.

At midnight, what earns is word-of-mouth, and if there are reporters and film critics who are not present, they will be released first, which will inevitably leave a bad impression on those pens.

In the first year, the public still trusted the news media, and negative comments from the media would also have a bad impact on the movie.

There will always be a part of the audience who decide to watch or not to watch the film after watching the evaluation of the film in the media. This part of the audience, although it is not the mainstream, cannot be ignored.

If a movie wants to be a box office hit, it must win every audience it can get!

"Boss! Journalists from several major media outlets, as well as major contributing film critics, are here! The manager of the cinema came to Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang and said.

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were in good spirits.

He Guanchang said: "Then let's start the screening!" ”

The manager of the theater nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. He!" ”

――――――――――――――

"The movie begins!"

With the theater, the lights go out.

The previously lively movie theater began to quiet down.

Zhang Shaojie, Anita Mui, Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanjie, Gu Long, Zou Wenhuai and others were just one audience at this time, and 3,000 audiences looked at the dark silver screen with bated breath.

The silver screen began to light up

First of all, the lolg of Golden Harvest, wait until after the logo subtitles of Golden Harvest.

The movie is not dragging its feet, the first second is the plot of the movie.

The first scene in the picture is a street scene, in the middle of the scene, a billboard reads "Wang's Security Bureau". In Hong Kong, there are obviously many such small security companies.

This is the main location where the events of the story take place.

"Produced by Zou Wenhuai!"

When the audience saw that the film producer was Zou Wenhuai, they couldn't help but have a little confidence in the movie.

"Xu Guanwen's work!"

When this line of subtitles appeared, most of Xu Guanwen's fans were shocked and began to be full of anticipation!

Produced by Zou Wenhuai and directed by Xu Guanwen, although these two subtitles are simple yellow art subtitles, they are equivalent to word-of-mouth guarantees.

In the early 80s, before the rise of the new art city, Golden Harvest produced must be a high-quality product, which is not bragging.

Compared with the Shaw Brothers' running accounts and insincere movies, Golden Harvest's movies always maintain a sincere and sophisticated level.

The subtitles have already introduced the executive producer and director.

Just when the audience thought that the following was going to officially enter the plot and introduce the starring actors.

But

Unexpectedly!

Suddenly, a red, bright font popped out of the picture.

"Screenwriter Zhang Shaojie!"

At this time, the audience was finally moved!

"Oh my God, it's really a script written by Zhang Shaojie!" Xiuling is a college student and a fan of "The Tang Dynasty". In fact, she doesn't like to watch movies, just because it is rumored to be a script written by Zhang Shaojie, so she went to the cinema to join in the fun.

A film critic was surprised: "Zhang Shaojie? Didn't he write about martial arts? This is an urban comedy that has nothing to do with martial arts! ”

There are very few films in Hong Kong that introduce the screenwriter at the beginning of the film.

Generally, the screenwriter is introduced, and at most, at the end of the film, when other artists, lighting, and other miscellaneous people are introduced, etc., by the way, the screenwriter is introduced.

In fact, many movies don't even introduce the screenwriter at the end of the credits! At this time, screenwriters are still not fully respected in Hong Kong!

A screenwriter like Zhang Shaojie is more arrogant than a director and producer, which is simply too out of line with the rules of the industry!

However, when everyone thought of Zhang Shaojie's fame, they suddenly realized!

The movie is to make money, and such a big gimmick as "screenwriter Zhang Shaojie" must be emphasized as a selling point!

However, as the words "Zhang Shaojie's screenwriter" disappeared in the picture, the discussion began to decrease.

After all, this is watching a movie in public, a mainstream moviegoer, not a fan meeting of Zhang Shaojie.

――――――――

In the box of Zhang Shaojie and others.

There are 5 people in total. They are Shaohuai, Yishu, Zhang Xiaoxian, and Anita Mui.

And Gu Long, Ni Kuang, Hu Bo and the others were in the box in the front row.

Whether it is Anita Mui, Shaohuai, or Yishu, Zhang Xiaoxian. When the red font of "Zhang Shaojie screenwriter" appeared in the subtitles, I couldn't help but look at Zhang Shaojie.

Zhang Shaojie pretended to be calm on his face, but in fact he was proud.

"You are beautiful, but you are just a little screenwriter in the movie!" Zhang Xiaoxian is always full of attacks on Zhang Shaojie.

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "I'm still the assistant director!" ”

Zhang Xiaoxian "snorted" and continued to watch the movie.

Anita Mui whispered in Zhang Shaojie's ear: "What did you do to Xiaoxian?" She always has a hard time with you! ”

Zhang Shaojie said in a low voice: "How do I know? I just accidentally bumped into her and went to the hospital for a check-up, and there was nothing wrong with me. She shouldn't hate me for that, right? ”

Anita Mui was a little jealous and said: "I feel that she should have unconsciously liked you in her heart." to keep attacking you! At this age, little girls are the easiest to like boys! ”

Zhang Shaojie shook his head and said, "No!" She's just a little girl, I don't like that kind of girl who hasn't developed yet! ”

Anita Mui snorted, the more she thought about it, the more confused she became, women are not like you don't want to provoke, my sister said before that talented men always attract women like magnets. Especially Zhang Shaojie, who looks handsome, young and talented. What to do? Anita Mui knows that she has actually fallen in love with Zhang Shaojie.

However, she was afraid of losing him, and she felt that it was unbearable for more and more women to be attracted to Zhang Shaojie
