The newspaper said that in 2015, the box office of the movie was 44 billion, and 1.2 billion people entered the cinema. www.biquge.info To be honest, my friends and I were stunned. Do the math, how long has it been since you've been to a movie theater? Anyway, Zhu Zhi counted carefully, since graduating from college to now, it has been 25 years, except for a certain year (I forgot which year exactly), at that time I was still working in the county, and when I came to Nanning, Mr. Yan Fenghua invited me to watch "Ambush" once, and I haven't seen the movie. It's just that every time I blow up a godlike Chinese New Year movie or an imported blockbuster, I haven't seen it - it's not that I don't want to watch it, but the movie ticket price is really terrifying! On her daughter Yingzi's birthday, she shouted to watch a movie, and went to Nanning Xinghu Cinema to see it, 70 yuan each! I said to her, "Look, do you want to watch a movie, or do you want to sit at McDonald's next to me?"

When we were in college at the end of the 90s, the ticket price for an open-air movie was 3 cents (the movie theater seemed to be 1 dollar). So most of the movies I watched before were watched in universities, Western University, Agricultural College, Chemical Engineering School, Finance College, whichever school has it, I will go to that school, no matter what the film is, take care of it. At that time, the cost of living was 40 yuan a month, which means that watching a movie only cost one percent of our living expenses. Nowadays, the living expenses of students are mostly between 1,000 and 1,500 yuan, and they spend one-twentieth of the cost of watching a movie. Don't talk about students, let's talk about the working class, the salary at that time was between 90 and 150 yuan, and the ticket price of a movie was less than one percent of the salary; And now, Zhu Ji's monthly income is not enough to watch 50 movies.

According to reports, at present, people who go to the theater to watch movies are mainly concentrated in three types of people: lovers, high-income people who have the habit of watching movies, and people from all walks of life who have petty bourgeoisie. It's no wonder that movie theaters fall into the misconception that "the fewer people watch, the higher the ticket price". In 1989, China's movie ticket was 0.25 yuan, and the total box office in the country that year was 2.7 billion yuan; a global netizen said that in 2012, movie ticket prices were generally about 70 yuan, and IMAX movie tickets were as high as 150 yuan, and a seven-fold discount was not cheap, which was not a small amount for ordinary people with a monthly salary of only two or three thousand yuan. The Film Bureau's "Opinions" really need to investigate and understand the opinions of the people, so that it will not be so outrageous. The survey shows that people with low incomes have a high share of the movie audience, with a monthly income of 2,500-3,500 yuan accounting for nearly one-third of the audience.

However, poor people like Zhu Zhi not only think that the ticket price is too high, but I don't think that my family is no longer in the era where the desire to watch movies and eat meat is lined up. I think about it, when we were childhood and teenagers, we went over the mountains to watch movies in mountain villages more than ten miles away. Nowadays, television, video, and computer multimedia are all over our lives. Why should I spend so much money on a movie that is dispensable in my life, take time out of my stressful life, and listen to you show us step by step? Karaoke, teahouses, fresh suburbs, everywhere are places for our dates, why do we have to go in with a tube of melon seeds to talk? Numerous ways of life and entertainment have enriched our lives, movies, just like a woman who was once beautiful and countless men bent her waist for her, but now she is a, a yellow-faced woman with no charm, are we still worth pursuing her? The only thing we have left is maybe some good memories, or nostalgia.

Of course, if the ticket price of the movie drops to a certain level, we are still willing to go into the cinema, after all, watching the movie is a lively, a place for collective catharsis, you can't watch the movie with your wife and children and quietly cry, or laugh like a madman, right? However, the reduction of movie ticket prices is almost impossible, in 2000, the 15 theaters belonging to Chengdu Eying Company cut prices for 3 days (only 5 to 10 yuan), and the box office income was nearly 300,000 yuan, and "Perfect Storm" alone achieved a box office of 200,000 yuan, compared with the release on November 1 and 2, an increase of 600% in terms of people, shows, and income, but what happened now? Some people say that low attendance leads to an increase in ticket prices, and if the fares are lowered, how do you know that the attendance rate will not rise? An optical store in Guangzhou offered a 30% discount on the market price, but received a ****** from the city's optical association, asking him to adjust the price back. I wonder if that's what it means.

When the movie goes to the market, the profit and loss are at their own risk, and the operators are not in a hurry, we are here to point fingers and sweat for them, which is a bit of a "the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry". It is enough for people to earn money from those "lovers, high-income people who have the habit of watching movies, and people from all walks of life who have petty bourgeoisie", and there are countless people in this class who have entered a well-off society today. They don't bother to bother with a poor bastard like you, Zhu Zhi! If you want to make your Zhu Wolf's money, if you have only watched a movie for more than 20 years, you will starve to death a long time ago, and "the tomb has been arched"!

Cinema is a declining art, it is passing through its last days, and if anyone still wants it to shine again and cause a sensation, it is as ridiculous as saying that a woman is forever young. Those who have been making the vision of the movie, waving the flag for the movie, and desperately promoting it, are just applying a thick layer of rouge to its wrinkled face and putting a disgusting lipstick on its shriveled lips so that it can get married! The curious believed, but the result was an even deeper loss!

This brings us to something called theatre (which I think is a thing). Look, how long has it been since you've seen a play? People are not living well, and every year the state gives it a lot of money to achieve a strong shot. Some time ago, a friend of mine in the literary circle told Zhu Zhi with great interest that ours (note that it is "again") has won a national award. Forgive Zhu Zhi for being lonely and unheard, I haven't met this drama so far, I don't know what it's talking about, Zhu Zhu is considered a person in the circle, and I haven't seen this drama yet, I estimate that most people only hear its voice and don't see its shadow. It is said that how much money was invested in this play (the data is not easy to say, it is difficult to mix it up), and another group of artists carefully created it.

In a city of millions of people, two or three hundred spectators celebrated with their hands and shouted that the spring of drama had come, which was really ridiculous and generous. And, I don't deny that there may be one or two plays that can cause a sensation, but can it show that the spring of drama and drama has come? For example, Zhu You, who has been so poor all his life, suddenly got three or four thousand a month, so I also entered a well-off life? Or, Zhu Zhi has always ignored women, and suddenly one night, a little girl sent him a bouquet of flowers and invited me to drink two cups of coffee, so Zhu Zhi has reached the age of both wealth and beauty?

Let's call it a drama, when I was in the cultural center, every four years the drama performance, the audience is more than the actors, it is already an outdated, or about to become obsolete, is outdated art, just like the Tang poems, Song Ci, Ming and Qing vernacular novels, how popular and intoxicating it was at that time. How about now? If we see that there are still people who are keen to write this kind of thing, Mr. Zhu Zhi is quite polite not to regard him as a fool. Of course, there are, green vegetables Robb, everyone loves it, and there are still people watching movies, just like there are still people who will regard half-aged as the object of pursuit.

Both are things that are divorced from the public, aristocratic art, high and low dramas, early death is better, do not waste the people and money. Let him be euthanized. Whoever watched it, it was just a few people in the circle who were shouting there. The problem is that they have public opinion, so what they say is right. I'd rather watch a TV series that goes down to the Himalayas and becomes two halves with one palm than watch him.
