Chapter 275: A Hot Movie Theater
"Please, please give me two tickets for Infernal Affairs!"
"Give me a ticket to Infernal Affairs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
ā......ćā
On the day of the movie's release, the major movie theaters were packed.
The film's strong cast and the media's money-free touting are undoubtedly the first choice for ordinary audiences to enter the cinema.
It can be said that more than 90% of the audience who walked into the cinema on this day came for "Infernal Affairs", and the movie tickets for "Infernal Affairs" also flowed out of the hands of the ticket sellers like flowing water.
"What, there are no tickets, what are you kidding, it's only been half an hour and there are no tickets, what kind of movie theater are you opening?"
Overcrowded, naturally movie tickets were sold quickly, and just when the people buying tickets were getting longer and longer, a high voice suddenly sounded in front.
"Impossible, it's only been more than half an hour."
"I finally got a movie I wanted to watch, but I ran out of tickets, is this God joking with me?"
"I've been waiting for the movie since the shooting, but I didn't expect it to be late."
"I want to see Wang Ye!"
"I want to see Zhou Chao!"
ā......ā
The tickets were sold out in just over half an hour, which obviously made the audience in line behind reluctant, and the crowd behind them was in a commotion for a while, and several fans of the leading actors began to voice dissatisfaction.
"Everyone, there are really no tickets, or you can choose other movies, such as this "City Love", today's movie tickets are 7% off......."
The conductor panicked in the face of the commotion and hurriedly recommended other movies that were being released.
"What "Love in the City", I want to watch "Infernal Affairs"!"
"How can a star's movie be compared with the actors of "Infernal Affairs", don't say seven percent off, I don't watch five percent off."
ā......ćā
The audience obviously didn't buy it, and they were clamoring to watch "Infernal Affairs".
"Everyone, everyone, please be quiet!"
Seeing that more and more people were dissatisfied, the conductor hurriedly invited the person in charge of the cinema.
Seeing a person in charge come out to speak, this also calmed down the commotion of the crowd a little, just to see how to deal with himself and others.
"Contemptible Liu Yuhua, I would like to say sorry to all of you who have not bought tickets, and I hope you can calm down and understand our work.
I also know how desperate everyone is to see this movie, so we can only do our best to add a screening, which is our biggest concession. ā
Seeing the crowd outside the ticket gate, Liu Yuhua hurriedly apologized and comforted everyone.
For this reason, the cinema has come up with an emergency plan, that is, when the situation is encountered, the cinema will have an additional screening.
This is also the most common scheme of the cinema chain.
The state stipulates that a movie cannot have more than eight shows a day in a movie theater, but if it really encounters a group event like today, it is allowed to be screened.
Because no matter what country it is, what is most afraid is that ordinary people make trouble, although ordinary people are not conspicuous in normal times, but once the number comes up, it is easy to have big things, and no one wants such consequences to happen.
"Is there any mistake, add one, you see that there are so many people here, don't say one, even if you add another one, you can't be satisfied."
Hearing Liu Yuhua's words, the crowd in front was satisfied, but the audience in the back didn't do it.
What do you mean, is this not letting the people in line behind us buy tickets or what, it's all nonsense.
"That's it, you don't look at how many people line up in the back, you can buy tickets in front, don't you let the people in the back buy tickets?"
Don't suffer from widowhood and suffer from unevenness!
No matter what the world is, why there are so many people who hate the rich, it is because the rich are only a small number of people, but they control the wealth of ordinary people, and the serious imbalance in distribution will cause such a mentality.
"Guys, it's really not that we don't want to add games, but there are rules!"
Liu Yuhua, the theater manager, has the heart to cry.
Who doesn't want to make money is a bastard, as a part-time worker, who doesn't want to make more money, the better the benefit, the more you will naturally get below, open the door to do business, and it is very painful to drive customers outside.
But what about the pain, the country's regulations are here, the number of screenings of a movie a day is eight, and adding one more is already the real biggest concession.
If it's an infinite gaying, it's breaking the rules in this circle, and whoever breaks the rules will have a good end.
"Wait a minute, everyone, I'll call the boss right away."
In the face of such a thing now, a small movie theater manager obviously can't be the master, so he can only throw this hot potato to the leader above for a headache.
"Mr. Wang......."
The theater manager dialed the phone, and then said word for word what he was facing.
"Okay, okay, I got ......."
I don't know what the two said, but the manager kept nodding.
And the eyes of the audience at the scene also continued to rise and fall with the manager's head.
"Everyone, I have consulted our Mr. Wang, for everyone's requirements, Mr. Wang is also in a difficult way, regulations are regulations, there are no rules."
The manager's words did not change in the slightest.
"Yarn."
"I'm not leaving today."
ā......ā
Understanding is understanding, but if you encounter it, you must be unwilling.
"But ......."
As soon as Liu Yuhua exited, the crowd quieted down suddenly, and it seemed that there was a turnaround.
"Our President Wang said that everyone's enthusiasm can't be dampened, so although we can't increase the number of movie screenings, we can add seats, and a movie can add 50 seats."
The number of additional screenings will violate the rules, but the extra seats are not, which is the best way to solve the problem at present.
"That's pretty much it!"
"It's good to hear after all!"
ā......ā
Hearing the manager's words, the people on the scene were satisfied for a while.
Regardless of whether the people who come behind can buy tickets, at least this idea can make everyone on the scene buy tickets, as for the others, it is none of their business.
The subsequent on-site ticket sales finally returned to normal, which also made Liu Yuhua wipe a handful of non-existent sweat.
Of course, this is just a microcosm of all cinemas.
In other places, situations like this are happening at the same time, giving major movie theaters a headache at the same time, but also rejoicing, "Infernal Affairs" is now a cash cow.
"Good news, boss!"
In Tianteng Entertainment, Hu Yihai's secretary rushed into the office with a happy face.
"Don't guess, it must be about "Infernal Affairs"."
When Hu Yihai saw the secretary coming in, he finally let go of his hanging heart, but instead showed a look of wisdom beads in his hand.
"Boss, you are really a god, it's about movies, the release of "Infernal Affairs" in major theaters is simply too popular, and it is even difficult to find a ticket in many places."
The secretary didn't know what Hu Yihai thought, but it didn't prevent him from patting on the back.
Sometimes even a fool can guess something, but in order to bring out the glorious image of the leader, even if you know, you have to pretend not to know.
The right words are only true when they are spoken through the mouths of the leaders.
"Nothing happened, did it?"
Although he has heard it countless times in ordinary times, Hu Yihai still feels very useful to the secretary's sycophants.
However, since it is difficult to find a ticket, there will definitely be people who can't buy tickets who have opinions.
"It's just that there are a lot of people who can't buy tickets and protest in theaters."
The secretary hurriedly continued.
"Protest just protest, the more you protest, the more it proves that the movie is popular, and it stimulates the box office of the movie even more."
Hu Yihai said indifferently.
A good movie is like this, the more you can't buy tickets, the more you want to buy them, and the so-called what you can't get is the best!
"Boss wise!"
The secretary sent the sycophant again!
