When some people are very entangled, many people have made a decision, they began to book tickets online, telephone booking, so as not to miss the first movie they like, this time the major theaters have launched online and telephone booking, the audience does not need to come to the cinema to book tickets directly, of course, people close to the cinema can come to the cinema to book tickets directly, but in any case, the speed of online and telephone booking is far faster and more convenient than booking tickets directly in the cinema, so most people are too lazy to run errands.

Christmas is the busiest time for cinema staff, especially this year, because online and telephone bookings have been launched this year, so that the staff not only have to check in the background to avoid the official website being blown up, but also send personnel to answer the phone to confirm the order, and some staff in front of the cinema counter to accept those who come directly to the cinema to book tickets, although these audiences will be much smaller than in the past, but these people are enough to make the counter staff so busy that they don't even have time to eat.

The official website has been in a state of storm, the eyes of the network technicians dare not leave the screen for a moment, the phone rings non-stop, and dozens of female operators are so busy that they don't know what to do.

On this day, Rendezvous Cinemas is also in the midst of this hot trend of ticket booking.

"I want to pre-order two "Beauty of the Mountains"!"

"I'm going to pre-order four copies of "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class"!"

"I'm going to pre-order three copies of The Big Bang."

"Please order me a copy of "Loess Plateau"

The sound of the phone has been echoing in the office of the Rendezvous Cinema, and the thirteen operators are uniformly dressed like train ticket conductors, with the phone in their left hand and the pen in their right hand, all their minds are focused on the customer's information on the other end of the phone.

The sound of the phone joined together to make a wonderful horn, but this sound came at a cost, and these scrambled female operators became victims.

The staff who check in front of the computer is also uncomfortable, they also have to take orders, to announce the latest movie screenings, the amount of the movie theater bank card account is soaring, these staff have been busy sweating, both hands keep typing on the keyboard, years of practice make their typing speed has been quite fast, the computer can be said to be soeasy, but today they are powerless, always feel that their hands are not enough, and they can't wait to give birth to three heads and six arms.

The phone and the Internet have been in a state of fullness, phone busy, network card, slow and other problems have appeared, which is urgent to kill those fans who have not yet bought tickets, it is useless to be anxious, no way, who called the population of country Z, they can only wait.

Xiao Zhang is a middle school teacher, Christmas is just the weekend holiday and wants to ask his girlfriend to go to the movies together for a romantic weekend, this plan was ready a month ago, he has been waiting for the booking of tickets, finally waited until Christmas Eve, from more than eight o'clock in the morning began to select movies on the Internet, and his girlfriend argued for a morning before finally deciding, but when it was time to book tickets, the network had already been blown up, the card was terrible, the computer screen often appeared "please repeat the refresh" instructions, and the call was also in a busy state, What else can be done, the cinema is also hot, you can only wait!

Staying in front of the computer and phone, it was not until more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon that I finally got through to the phone of the Rendezvous Cinema, and the network was still in the state of the card, and I could only book tickets by phone.

"I want two tickets for the movie "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", which will be around eight o'clock tomorrow night." As soon as he dialed the phone, Xiao Zhang said eagerly to the operator.

"I'm sorry, the tickets for "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" are sold out tomorrow night, and only the day after tomorrow is left."

"Then the day after tomorrow, two at eight o'clock in the evening, the middle seat..."

"I'm sorry, but the tickets for the night after tomorrow are gone, and there are still some tickets in the morning, do you want them?"

"Gone? When are the tickets for that night? Xiao Zhang began to get anxious.

"There will be a night on the 28th."

"Okay, it's the 28th." Xiao Zhang glanced at his girlfriend next to him and made a decision, and he couldn't think more about it in this case.

"Yes sir, tickets for 10:5 p.m. on the 28th..."

"Not at eight o'clock?"

"I'm sorry sir, there are only ten left, the last game on the night of the 28th, do you want more?"

"That's it, it's 10:5, two, the middle seat."

There are not a few people like Xiao Zhang who are so embarrassed, and those who want to book tickets can only go to the 29th to see it.

The fans of country Z are crazy, in less than a day, the tickets for the first four days of "The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" were emptied by the fans, and then Lu Lijun's "The Big Bang" was also emptied, "Jiangshan Beauty" has just been sold out, "Loess Plateau" did not have such a good fate, only sold tickets for the first two days, "Hero or Hero" also only sold two and a half days of votes, this time Chen Kaige caught up with his colleagues, his "Polar Sky" also sold tickets for three and a half days, and the saddest thing was that there were three foreign films, only sold out the tickets for ChristmasThis result is understandable, new goods, wait-and-see attitude is still a more rational way. Tickets for other lesser-known films are even lower, and Christmas Day tickets are not sold out, at most only half of them are sold.

This kind of crazy ticket booking behavior on Christmas Eve has naturally become the breaking news of many media, they have reported on the current situation of this kind of Chinese people, of course, this information is mainly obtained from their own interviews, usually every Christmas festival, the media will visit major theaters to get the latest news to add a touch to their own journalist road.

Some analysts believe that this Christmas ticket grabbing is an inevitable trend, not accidental, now the entire film industry has made a big reform, the original film marketing model has been eliminated, script uploading, online sales, etc. have been forcibly canceled, only the last movie theater is released, now all movies are only released in movie theaters, there is no latest movie resources on the Internet, some are just the original online sales of movies, and these movies are paid, most people have already seen it, So the movies on the Internet are also depressed, and now the only people who watch movies online are the new generation who have not watched the movies before the great reform of the film industry, like the old members of Tuku.com, who watch news or videos online, because these are free, they no longer consume online, and there is no way to consume, because all the latest movies are put on the screen of the cinema, and they are all running to the cinema. Analysts also believe that perhaps one day in the future, movies that were originally sold online will be removed from the shelves or simply canceled the consumption model and turned into a shared resource for future generations to enjoy, which they feel is more likely.
