Hughes, the president of Paramount, put on a coat, brown eyes, and a scarf to understand the market reaction to the film, and walked to the nearest movie theater to the company, accompanied by his secretary.

Along the way, Hughes can see the promotional poster of the movie "Rommel" at any time, this movie poster is very well designed, and the bust of Rommel is in the upper half of the poster.

In the background is the scene of dozens of German No. 4 tanks charging in formation, the yellow sand brought up by the tanks is flying all over the sky, and on top of the tanks are several whistling BF109 fighter jets.

Looking at this propaganda poster, there is a feeling of immersion, the fire generated by the explosion, the galloping tank, the whistling fighter plane, the handsome and handsome Rommel staring mightily into the distance.

"Yes, this poster is well designed."

"Yes, this photograph is a picture of Rommel himself, very real."

"Is there a big difference between the appearance of the main actor and Rommel himself?"

"There was not the slightest difference, because we got General Rommel's face and then made a silicone human skin mask out of the mold, and our actors were almost indistinguishable from Rommel in appearance."

"What about the linguistic habits and movements of the main actors and Rommel himself?"

"In order to shoot this film, we asked the leading actor to study with Rommel for a few days, and our leading actor did not have any problem doing it like Rommel."

The president of Paramount is not a director, and he was not involved in the filming, so he asked.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the two came to the door of a movie theater. There are three screening rooms for this movie. The seating capacity of each screening hall is 500 people.

When Hughes arrives in the small square outside the movie. I was stunned by the crowd there, most of them lined up at a ticket window to buy tickets, and the queue to buy tickets rode thousands of people.

The other two ticket windows are crowded, and few people care, the three screening halls of this cinema can show three movies at the same time, why is there no one in the other window to see it?

Hughes couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was afraid that the two screening halls where no one went to buy tickets were "Rommel" made by his own company.

Since the economic crisis in the United States in 1929. The box office has plummeted, and since Roosevelt was elected president, Roosevelt's New Deal has gradually pulled the United States out of the quagmire of economic crisis.

During the economic crisis, all Hollywood studios were in debt because of the sharp drop in the box office, and Paramount was no different.

If the big-budget film "Rommel" continues to lose money, Paramount will not necessarily go out of business, but it is certain that the owner will be replaced.

Hughes's secretary noticed that the president's face was gloomy, and he hurriedly walked up to a man in the queue in three steps and two parts, and asked very politely:

"Excuse me. Are you queuing up to buy tickets for that movie? ”

The man in line looked at Hughes's secretary like an alien and asked:

"Don't you know that today is the day of the release of "Rommel"?"

Hughes's secretary replied in surprise:

"I know!"

Hughes's secretary thought to himself. The movie "Rommel" is a movie shot by our company, how can you not know that this movie is released today!

The man in line continued disdainfully:

"Then you have to ask more, we are here to see the movie "Rommel" today, you just look at the poster on the ticket window, it's stupid."

The man in the queue was so impatient that he couldn't even pay attention to the young man who didn't worship Rommel.

Hughes's secretary was not angry, but nodded at the man in thanks.

"Thank you so much."

Hughes's secretary trotted back back to report the situation:

"President, great news, they are all people who went to see the movie "Rommel"."

After President Hughes heard this, his face was gloomy and a long-lost smile, it seems that the impact of this movie is still very great, if the movie is made well, the high box office will not be a problem at all.

Paramount spent a lot of money to win more than 20,000 screens from other companies in the United States for the release of "Rommel", and if the box office loses, Paramount will have to compensate for the loss of the movie theater, and this loss will be even greater.

"Yes, yes, let's go and queue up to buy tickets!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the queue for tickets, and Hughes heard someone yelling:

"Damn, there are no tickets."

"We're going to buy tickets for the next show."

"I'm sorry, the tickets for the next show are gone, and the tickets for the midnight show are still available."

Now the people who queued up to buy tickets to watch "Rommel" stopped doing it, and they shouted and cursed one after another:

"You bastards, you watch the other two films, no one is going to buy tickets at all, why don't you vacate those two movie halls to show Rommel?"

The conductor could only smile and continue to explain:

"Big brother, we only got one copy of the movie in the cinema! How can this be shown without copies? ”

"You idiot, you don't even know the arrangement, let me tell you how two screening halls can show a copy of the movie at the same time."

"Hey, big brother, if you really have a way, I'll ask you for today's movie ticket."

"Okay, you listen to Lao Tzu, the first screening hall will put the first roll of film, the second screening hall will wait, and after the first screening hall has finished screening the first roll of film, start to show the second roll of film, and then immediately take the first roll of film to the second screening hall to be screened.

Even if it's three theaters to show a copy of a movie at the same time, think about it! Give Lao Tzu a movie ticket. ”

"That's right! I'll give you this movie ticket, please wait a minute, I'll go to the manager, our cinema will use three screening halls to show "Rommel". ”

"Go, tell you stupid manager about this good idea, you guys are still waiting to see the great Rommel!"

The conductor hurried to the manager and told him how the man had just done it, and after thinking for a moment, the cinema manager decided to use two screening halls to show Rommel.

If the effect is really good, then "Rommel" will be screened in three screening halls at the same time, and this time "Rommel" will be released, and the response of fans will not be fed back until they have seen it.

There was a gap of more than 20 minutes between the two screening halls, but there were so many people who came to see "Rommel" that many people who didn't buy tickets simply bought midnight tickets.

Hughes and his secretary, neither of them could buy tickets, Hughes had no choice but to buy movie tickets from ticket sellers, a five-dollar movie ticket, and those ticket sellers actually dared to ask for fifty dollars.

In order to see the movie "Rommel" in time, Hughes had to reluctantly buy two high-priced tickets for "Rommel".

In fact, these high-priced tickets are flowing out of the cinema, which is also a means of generating income for the staff inside the cinema. (In ****, this kind of thing is not strange.) ）
