After all the sub-categories of options are exhausted, only the last and most important option remains, which is to score the movie overall.

"That's probably the score for the best movie!" Sam groaned, feeling the importance of his last score.

Sam thought for a long time, and it wasn't until a staff member suggested that the 5-minute time was almost up, and Sam gave him a score of 72.

After completing the vote, Sam walked to the ballot box, and after queuing up to drop his voting card into the ballot box, Sam suddenly felt a sense of relief and honor.

"My holy vote!" Sam sighed in his heart, quite like when he voted for the president of the United States.

"Sam, how are you feeling!" When Sam left the screening room, he saw Tim waiting for him.

"The movie is generally on the top side, giving a score of 72!" Sam Road.

"No, I'm not asking you that, I'm asking you how it feels to vote?" Tim said with a smile.

"It's a pretty magical feeling!" Sam reminisced about the feeling he felt when he voted just now, and his face made an aftertaste: "I used to feel that something was missing when I watched movies, but today after completing the vote, I finally made up for this missing feeling!" ”

"I know, it's like every time my mom bakes me an apple pie, I have to comment, it's so bad that it bursts, hahaha!" Tim laughed, and Sam laughed along.

Yes, that's what it feels like.

In the past, when two people watched movies, they were okay and could discuss with each other. But if only one person watches the movie, then this feeling is really bad, full of complaints and praise, I don't know who to talk to.

Now with this ballot box, it finally makes up for this defect perfectly, not to mention that their vote is not meaningless, on the contrary, it also determines the fate of a grand prize.

"It's a pity that the awards at this Imperial Capital International Film Festival are meaningless, and they can't give much glory, and I feel that there is something missing in my heart, if we vote for the Oscars, it will be perfect!" Tim sighed.

"Haha, I remember that young Chinese kid from Daqian didn't say that he would beat Oscar in 10 years at the latest?" Sam laughed.

"That's fart!" Tim said categorically, and then muttered in a low voice, "Defeat Oscar, how is this possible, this is impossible!" ”

Over the next few months, Sam almost got into the habit of taking a half-hour detour to a movie theater in Chinatown whenever a new movie was released, and after watching the movie, he would vote for the movie.

And Sam can almost run into Tim every time he comes, after all, the two of them have about the same commuting time, and they are used to watching movies for about the same time, and they also have the habit of voting after watching movies.

There's no way, for those of them who are full of complaints, it's so uncomfortable not to vote after watching the movie, they can't stand those movie theaters that can't vote.

In the beginning, Sam and Tim were able to see the movie just by going.

But as time went on, Sam and Tim discovered that they had to book a day or two in advance before they could see the movie, because the movie theater in Chinatown was now full of people, even on weekdays, and the crowd was crowding the small movie theater to the point of exploding.

Fortunately, Sam has a good relationship with the proprietress, as long as he calls the proprietress in advance, the proprietress will help him reserve a movie ticket. Sissy

It seems that there are not a few viewers who like the feeling of voting after watching a movie!

————————————

At this moment, James, the owner of the Metropolitan Cinema, looked at his cinema with some concern, and in recent months, the traffic of his cinema has dropped a lot, about 2% lower than the same period last year.

However, the total box office of each month announced by the Film Association, compared with the same period last year, has increased by about 3%, which is enough to increase or decrease a gap of 5%!

Although it is not much, James, who is known for his meticulous calculation, still feels very unhappy, as if someone has snatched a piece of meat from his bowl.

But James didn't know what was wrong, until one day when he went to an event organized by the Columbia City Film Club, he found a very unsightly guy who actually changed into an Armani dress.

This eye-catching guy is a Chinese man, very thin, his face is always full of the word "slam", when he participates in movie club activities, he always tries to save money, and once he and his wife even came directly wearing a dress with no knowing how many hands and patches.

Oh my God, the dress can still be patched, which makes James's three views explode.

But this is not to blame this Chinese man, because his movie theater in Chinatown is the most dilapidated and worst business in Colibya City, because of the location of Chinatown and the appetite of Chinese people, this movie theater can generally only show movies from Huaxia, and the number of audiences has always been small, I heard that it can only barely make ends meet.

So when James saw that this Chinese man actually put on Armani's dress, the whole person was shocked.

It's not that this dress is expensive, it's that this poor ghost is willing to spend thousands of dollars on a dress!

"Hu, have you made a fortune?" James rarely took the initiative to walk up and asked with a smile.

"Where, where...... I didn't get rich, I just had a little gain......" Boss Hu hurriedly said with the humility unique to Chinese people.

"Hu, what you said is too fake, I saw it with my own eyes, you have taken down the two houses next door, and you are still decorating, it is estimated that your movie theater will be at least twice as large!" A movie theater owner walked over next to him and said with envy.

"Triple the size! Where did you get so much money? James was immediately jealous that a movie theater that wanted to triple in size was not just as simple as buying or renting a house, it would require buying new equipment, a full set of seats, and recruiting more staff.

I'm afraid it will take at least $100,000, and it's hard to make $100,000 in net profit a year. Where did this guy with only one dilapidated old theater get the $100,000 expansion?

"Don't you know?" The boss on the side then said enviously, "In the past three months, Hu's movie theater has often been full, and even if the staff has a movie at 10 o'clock in the morning, there is more than 60% attendance." And after 3 p.m., there is not a single movie that is available. ”

"If you want to go to Hu's cinema after 3 p.m., you have to book tickets at least three days in advance!"

"That's an exaggeration!" James' eyes widened, what is the concept that the 10 a.m. movies have a 60% attendance?

You must know that in James's Metropolitan Cinema, the average movie at 10 o'clock in the morning can have an attendance rate of 5%, even if it is a very lucky year, and Hu's tattered cinema still has an attendance rate of 60%, which is simply the most nonsense thing in the world!

"Nope! Nothing! Hu on the side hurriedly explained, "That is, the movie on the weekend needs to be three days in advance, and if it is a weekday, it should be one day in advance at most!" ”

"Flutter!" It's okay if Hu doesn't explain, as soon as he explains, James really wants to vomit blood.
