If it weren't for the multiple collaborations and credibility, Moore might not have fulfilled Warner's decision to screen "Blair the Witch" in the afternoon prime time.

During this time, the audience for movies is the largest, the people who go to work are off work, the students who go to school are out of school, and everyone is resting.

"How was that Warner movie box office, how many people were there?" More asked his assistant. His cinema is so big that it's not an exaggeration to say it's a movie city, but he didn't apply to become a movie city because it would pay more taxes. It can show five movies at the same time, with the largest venue capable of accommodating 2,500 people and the smallest being able to accommodate 500 people.

"Blair the Witch", he chose a small screening room with 500 people, according to his ideas, the meaning is enough.

"Boss, it's not bad, there are more than three hundred people." The assistant also said with some regret.

Moore nodded: "Okay, let's count it again in the second scene, no matter what, we have to count the data well, the benefits are not good, next time we can appeal to the company for other benefits......" This time playing "Blair the Witch", Moore seems to have compromised, and next time he will ask Warner for the broadcast rights of other classic movies.

Moore sat in his office, reading the newspaper for leisure and entertainment, most of the content of the newspaper is the latest movies in the United States, only in an inconspicuous corner there is a news about "Blair the Witch", the content is roughly about the film review of "Blair the Witch", in terms of scoring, "Blair the Witch" received 7.8 points in the total score of 10 evaluations, which is very good, you must know that most movies are 5 points, 6 points or so.

"Damn, Warner is really willing to spend money, and I don't know what benefits the Chinese people have given them." Moore scolded, thinking it was Warners paying someone to improve the review.

Throw away the newspaper in your hand, then turn on the computer and listen to music on the Internet. In a daze, listening to music, Moore seemed to be asleep. Immediately, however, Moore was awakened by a knock at the door and opened his eyes, grumbling a little, and shouting, "Come in......"

The one who came in was the assistant who had just counted statistics, with anxiety on his face, and said: "Mr. Moore, just now there was a person in the fifth screening room who was unconscious, and he was paralyzed, and he has called an ambulance......

When Moore heard this, he hurriedly stood up, turned off the video recorder that was still showing, put on his clothes, and asked eagerly, "How did it happen?" Is the ventilation of the screening room good? What films are being screened? ”

The assistant hesitated for a moment, and Moore hurriedly said, "Hurry up and clarify the situation, let's go and take a look together...... Damn, I'm most annoyed by accidents."

"Mr. Moore, in fact, it's not an accident" The assistant's words made Moore stunned for a moment, and then his face became gloomy, if it wasn't an accident, it was a problem with his own cinema facilities, which was a bit tricky, not only might affect his future business, but would also be accompanied by a sum of money.

"Mr. More, the responsibility is not on us. There was a 14-year-old white girl who went to the cinema with her 20-year-old brother to watch a horror movie, and at the end of the movie, the girl was so frightened that she was completely paralyzed. Seeing Moore's expression, the assistant hurriedly explained.

Moore's face looked a little better, and he hurriedly walked out to look at the scene and asked, "Did you call the police?" What films are shown in Screening Hall 5? ”

"It's a horror movie, I watched it at the time, it's very good, it's Warner's "Blair the Witch" The assistant's answer made Moore frown.

When I came to the door, the ambulance had already arrived, carrying the paralyzed little girl into the car, and the police car also drove over, and several policemen came down to maintain order and disperse the onlookers. Fortunately, the final result was that the girl was fine, and she only needed to stay in the hospital for observation.

Those audience members have just come out of the fifth screening hall, and when they saw the audience who had just watched the movie together get into the ambulance, they also had palpitations, although they were not paralyzed by fear, but they were not scared, but most people felt good about this movie, if they were not scared by watching a horror movie, then this horror film was an absolute failure. They won't watch such a film.

However, the audience dispersed by the police did not leave, but lined up again to buy tickets, and they had to watch the horror film they had just watched again - "Blair the Witch".

More and his assistants coped with the police questioning, and a few spectators who had just sat next to the unconscious audience came to take notes to prove what had happened. It took half an hour for the police to confirm their departure, but told Moore to do a good job of safety at the cinema.

Before the police left, the ticket office there was a ruckus again, because the 500 movie tickets in Screening Hall 5 had been sold out, but the audience who had just queued up to watch it again for the second time had not yet bought tickets. The audience was reluctant to stand at the ticket office and did not leave, protesting loudly: "We pay to watch our favorite movies......"

"I'm going to see 'Blair the Witch'......"

"I want to buy a ticket...... I'm going to watch Blair the Witch......"

…………

Several policemen looked at the boss Moore again, and Moore hurried up and shouted, "Let's vacate Screening Room 2 immediately......"

The second screening just ended, and More changed the next screening of this film to the fifth screening room, and "Blair the Witch" to the second screening room, calming down the group of temporarily excited audiences, otherwise it would be bad to make some trouble in front of the police, and if he didn't do it, the movie theater would be closed for rectification and safety inspection.

After the adjustment, the large 2,000-seat screening hall in Screening Hall 2 was opened, and many viewers who came to see the movie inquired and learned that there was a movie that scared a little girl into the hospital, and they all bought movie tickets curiously.

After a busy day, Moore returned to the office sweating profusely, and before he could catch his breath, the assistant came in again and brought a report that had just been counted

"Mr. Moore, the 2,000 seats in Screening Hall 2 are full...... assistant whispered, "I think this movie is great, we should increase the number of screenings." ”

Moore waved his hand and said, "Let's take a look at it......", after speaking, he covered his head and rested while listening to the music.

The assistant nodded slightly, but did not speak, in fact, many of the audience members who had just come to buy movie tickets had been taken to see "Blair the Witch" in Screening Room 2.

…………

Today is not destined to be Moore's lucky day

Listening to the music in a daze, Moore was woken up again, and this time the assistant did not knock on the door, but ran in directly, shouting, "Mr. Moore...... Three audience members in Screening Room 2 were over-frightened and unconscious...... I've called for an ambulance......"

Moore jumped straight out of his chair and hurriedly ran out together, shouting, "Why is this happening? What is shown in Screening Room 2? ”

The assistant despised the boss's bad memory a little in his heart and said: "No. 2 and No. 5 have been changed, and the screening is Warner's "Blair the Witch" 2,000 seats are full...... There were also more than a thousand people outside who had bought tickets for the next show. ”

"Blair the Witch?" Moore suddenly remembered what happened before he fell asleep, and suddenly scolded: "There are only two shows today, who has already sold tickets?" ”

"I don't know, Screening Room 2 has five screenings in a row, so you can still ......sell the tickets when you print them," the assistant hurriedly replied.

This is a low-level mistake, they plan in advance which movies will be shown in which theaters every day, enter a fixed level, and the conductor just press the button to sell tickets. Just now, the original movie in Screening Hall 2 has been changed with "Blair the Witch", and the ticket number of "Blair the Witch" has been replaced by the original movie in Screening Hall 2.

Moore scolded in his heart, but he also knew that this was not the time to pursue that, and the most critical thing at this time was the three unconscious audiences: "What's going on with those three audiences?" Have you checked the screening room? ”

"It's their own responsibility, just like the little girl just now, they are overly frightened." The assistant quickly explained.

Coming to the door, the ambulance arrived again; Immediately afterward, the police arrived, and Moore felt a big head.

After sending the ambulance and the police away, Moore strangely went to the second screening room to see "Blair the Witch" once before he felt the charm of the movie, he was the same as the audience of 2,000 people, he was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and he also saw a young man next to him who was too frightened and unconscious, as the boss, he hurried to help, called an ambulance, but at the same time several viewers who suffered the same thing appeared again.

"What's New...... In just five hours, more than a dozen viewers were in a coma due to excessive fright from watching a horror movie, "and then the editor of this news suggested that heart patients, teenagers and children should fully consider their own psychological endurance when watching horror movies in the cinema, or directly avoid watching horror movies, so as not to cause tragedy." As soon as the announcer of the evening news finished speaking, he handed over new information, and the beautiful and sexy announcer's eyes widened and exclaimed, "Oh...... God's Latest News...... Similar incidents took place in several other movie theaters. At the same time, the information collected by our reporter from Luoshanji, Huashengdu, and Zhijiage also proves that there are similar incidents in these cities. According to preliminary statistics, more than 20 viewers fell into a coma because of watching a movie...... What amazes us is that this movie is the same movie, it is "Blair the Witch", which was hailed as a miracle by the Huaguo Entertainment District, it is said that the director of this "Blair the Witch" is a nineteen-year-old student "That night, there were no longer a few movie theater owners like Moore, and most of them chose to promote this classic horror movie like Moore, changed the number of screenings, and played it for one night, even if it was late at night, it was a full state, which had to make movie theater owners like Moore have a feeling of digging a gold mine, And the gold mine was forced to them by others.

Ask for a collection, woo, the collection is too pitiful.
