Old Yangchuan people are no strangers to Changhe Cinema, this is the first batch of cinemas in Yangchuan City, as early as more than 20 years ago, when there were only three cinemas in Yangchuan City, Changhe Cinema was one of them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Two large viewing rooms, an auditorium, and four small viewing rooms were simply 'super deluxe' at the time, and if only in terms of scale, even among the dozens of theaters in Yangchuan City today, they have a place.

It is said that for a long time in the early 90s, Changhe Cinema hosted various meetings and celebrations of the city government.

When it comes to Changhe Cinema, the older generation will immediately think of Yangchuan City's veteran state-owned enterprise Changhe Color Factory.

Because Changhe Cinema is a subordinate institution of Changhe Color Plant, it is built as an employee welfare and corporate image.

In the early 90s, it was the time of the great development of the national electrical industry, Changhe color factory conformed to the trend of the times, and introduced six color TV production lines from abroad at one time, and in just a few years, it became a well-known color TV giant enterprise in the country.

It is precisely because of the investment of the Changhe Color Plant, which almost does not count the blood, that the Changhe Cinema was the dominant one back then.

Time has passed,The domestic color TV market is gradually entering saturation,Foreign brands are pouring into the country,The drawbacks of rough development are beginning to be exposed,Coupled with the rise of the Internet,The dependence of the younger generation on TV has decreased,Changhe color plant is called a Wang Xiaoer New Year,Every year is not as good as a year,The giant factory that was once established as a typical propaganda in the country,The situation is getting worse,Finally, in 2010, it was announced that it would go out of business。

In the end, the liquidation of assets ended, and it was not enough for all the assets and book funds of Changhe Company to be used to top the account, and the only thing that remained was this Changhe Cinema. Because the last few factory leaders were really unable to maintain the theater, they had no time to take care of this side business, so they simply contracted out.

In the past few years, Changhe color TV has completely disappeared in the long river of history, and the former 'Changhe Group' has only such a movie theater.

Without the support of Changhe color TV, the operation of Changhe Cinema is not much better, the equipment is outdated, the personnel are redundant, and the sense of service competition cannot keep up, and it has become a marginal role in the cinema in Yangchuan City.

Su Ming and Hou Longtao walked into the door from the cement steps at the entrance of the theater, and in the deserted hall, there were two rows of old brown sofas, and a few customers were sitting sporadically.

Hou Longtao was about to call Mr. Wu in the theater to tell him that the other party had arrived, Su Ming shook his head and said, "Smoke a cigarette first, sit down and talk about it." ”

Hou Longtao was stunned for a moment, and soon understood.

If Mr. Wu comes, he will definitely pick everything and say it, and his side may not be able to see the real situation in the theater.

The two lit a cigarette on the couch with a 'No Smoking' sign above their heads, and the few uniformed staff in the hall acted as if they didn't see it, and no one cared.

The two little couples probably bought tickets in a group, handed their mobile phones to the conductor, who were two eldest sisters in their forties, who were chatting about which daughters were in their thirties and not married.

Seeing the mobile phone handed over, the two of them didn't know how to operate, and one of them turned around and shouted to the general control room, "Xiao Zhang, come and see, there is a group purchase ticket......

A young man in his twenties hurriedly ran out of the general control room, no work clothes, his hair was messy, he quickly entered the group purchase number in his mobile phone on the ticket purchase screen, put down the mobile phone and rushed back to the general control room like a fire room, and sat in front of the computer.

Su Ming tilted his head and looked, it seemed to be a picture of a Warcraft game on the computer screen, and he was playing a team dungeon.

The young couple finished buying their tickets and turned to the side to buy popcorn and drinks.

The popcorn salesman looked to be in her twenties, a young girl in overalls, with big curly blonde hair, and a big weird metal ring on her finger that looked like she was playing death music.

was leaning on the glass shelf, playing with his mobile phone with his head down, and when he saw someone wanting to buy popcorn, he said without raising his head: "The large portion is 15, the medium portion is 12, and the small portion is 10 yuan. ”

"Is there any Coke?" The boy asked.

The salesperson impatiently tapped the shelf with his finger, "I can't see it, it's not all here, five dollars a bottle." ”

The boy's face sank, and he wanted to say something, but he was dragged by the girl, so he didn't say anything, and said to the girl, 'You wait for me for a while', and then turned around and ran to the door, and not long after, he came back with two bottles of Coke, probably bought from the small supermarket next door.

The two of them walked into the viewing channel with a drink, and the person in charge of checking the ticket didn't seem to have looked at the ticket, took the ticket and tore off a piece of it, didn't speak, pointed to the dark passage, and continued to press half of his body on the ticket counter in a daze.

"......" Hou Longtao was dumbfounded, the service of this theater is too perfunctory, right?

"Go in and have a look." Su Ming smiled, it was not surprising, if the service equipment here was first-class, how could it become his acquisition target.

After buying the ticket, Hou Longtao habitually prepared to buy popcorn, and as soon as he picked up a box, he remembered that the two of them didn't really go to the movies, why did they buy popcorn, so he put the box back in its place.

The salesperson who had been playing with his mobile phone was sharp-eyed, and shouted at Hou Longtao: "Hey, what are you doing, don't give it back!" ”

"I didn't buy it." Hou Longtao pointed to the popcorn box: "This box is closed, I'll pick it up and take a look, and it won't affect your secondary sales." ”

"Then I don't care, you have to buy it if you take it."

Hou Longtao still had to say something, Su Ming directly took out fifty yuan from his bag and handed it over, and he didn't have time to talk to these people.

The salesman rolled his eyelids and said, "I don't have any change." ”

"No need to look for it."

Su Ming waved his hand a little impatiently, turned around and walked into the viewing channel.

"What are you pretending to be?! ! The saleswoman muttered in the back.

On Saturday afternoon, an imported film with a good reputation was being shown in the largest screening room, and the audience was sparsely packed, with only about 20% of the seats being filled.

The seats and carpets are old, and the floor is littered with drink bottles and melon seed shells left by the audience from the previous show, and it is estimated that no one will come to clean them until after the all-day screening.

The only thing that is comforting, the effect of watching the movie is not bad, it can't be compared with the kind of giant screen stereo surround, and it is used to see a big production that attracts attention with special effects, and the effect must be a little less interesting, but ordinary movies are okay.

After watching for more than ten minutes, Su Ming and Hou Longtao left the viewing room and went to several other viewing rooms for a turn, which was much the same. The small theater that could have been used as an auditorium was empty, with a layer of dust on the floor and stage.

The two of them were wandering around the background, and no one cared.

"Okay, let's call Mr. Wu."

Su Ming and Hou Longtao walked out, sat down on the sofa again, and waited for Mr. Wu to pick them up.

Su Ming lit a cigarette and didn't take a puff yet, but someone found out this time.

The popcorn salesman who was playing with his mobile phone just now pointed at Su Ming from a distance across the counter with his finger with a heavy metal ring, and said loudly: "Whatever you see, just say you!" You don't know how to read, didn't you see that it says no smoking?! (To be continued.) )
