Chapter 91: Theater Jianghu
Li Lecheng is so dangerous in the dark.
Because it was only a midnight test screening, there was no poster of "Eight Immortals Restaurant" in the theater. As long as they don't go in and look, Akina won't find out!
"There's going to be filming tomorrow morning, let's go back." Li Lecheng grabbed her hand and tried to drag her out.
"There is no role for me tomorrow morning...... "Mingcai puffed out her face, and with all her strength, her legs were nailed to the ground, like an old pine tree that did not move like a mountain!
Ming Cai has been connected to ballet since he was a child, and his strength in the next plate should not be underestimated. She even has harder muscles in her arms than Li Lecheng!
They began to fight on the spot, and many people on the side began to look at them sideways, after all, two heavily armed weirdos, one of them was still so tall, and then they pulled it in public, it was still very conspicuous.
Seeing this, Li Lecheng had to give up helplessly. Anyway, after a week or so, they may not be able to see each other much.
Akina's eyes were crooked with a smile.
Li Lecheng was sad and indignant in his heart: It's better to go with Ah Tao and them at the beginning!
Seeing that the opening time was only a few minutes, Li Lecheng and Ming Cai immediately followed the flow of people to the theater.
So many people, if you slow down, they may not have sat down when the movie starts.
Therefore, the current cinema hall is still the design of the big cinema hall in the mainstream, and a high-grade large theater is often a large single hall. In the 80s, when the TV industry had not yet reached its peak and digitalization had not yet come, it was more efficient to make money, and it was also more cost-effective and labor-saving for film distribution and screening.
It's still the era of film copying, and it's a hassle for the theater to show a movie, but it's not something that can be solved by pressing a button with a hard disk in later generations. The cost of film copy is very expensive, the film contains silver, real money "silver", a film has 15 minutes / 18 minutes size two specifications, a standard 90 minutes of film needs 5 large copies or 6 small copies, Gui Dao's version of "Eight Immortals Hotel" 105 minutes, a set of 7 small copies of the system, each set of nearly 10,000 pieces of Hong Kong paper.
In order to save costs, the cinema chain will have professional staff to take care of time management and deliver copies, so that the neighboring cinemas can share a set of copies: when you put the first few copies, I put the last ones. This kind of copy scheduling, the jargon of the Hong Kong Island film circle is called "walking films".
But this is not a unique feature of the Hong Kong Island film industry, but cities all over the world show movies like this.
This Lisheng Cinema in Yau Tsim Mong is the leading cinema in Kowloon and even in Hong Kong, with 1,372 seats, and the total annual box office of a single theater has never fallen out of the top two in Hong Kong in recent years, which is the vane of the box office.
The leading cinema is not just a desire to be, a cinema chain of more than a dozen cinemas, only four or five can be used as the leading cinema, the location and grade of the cinema are not mentioned, the latest, hottest, and best plays are all relying on the leading cinema to open the situation. The four leading theaters leased by Shaw Brothers to Pan Disheng are the four leading theaters of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, each of which cost Shaw Yifu 20 million Hong Kong paper to build more than ten or twenty years ago. Different from the Longtou Cinema, those ordinary cinemas that are smaller and have worse locations are called "Boat Cinema".
Princess Jin put a low-cost foreign film like "Eight Immortals Restaurant" in the midnight screening of the Lisheng Cinema, which means money at every time period, for a week, which can be said to have given enough face.
But it's not just for the sake of face.
The drama "Eight Immortals Restaurant", after Princess Jin watched it internally, she was not sure if it could be a big hit, the movie was extremely good-looking, and Li Lecheng's acting skills also made everyone's jaws drop.
But theoretically, any bloody horror movie is a niche movie, and now it is a popular comedy, and this drama is so thrilling, the audience may not be able to stand it. But Li Lecheng has such a big coffee position, but he has never starred in a play, and now he is in the limelight, but the dragon is not in sight, Jiahe and Princess Jin are competing for him, raising the price layer by layer, how much price is appropriate, and now it is time to test.
Li Lecheng and Ming Cai bought the last two tickets, and when they went in, they found that they were the most marginal seats in the last row.
It's also good to have a small corner with a black light, so it won't be discovered, and it's convenient to leave in advance when it's over.
Ming Cai is the most popular singer in the island country, she subconsciously picked the most corner near the aisle and the most convenient position to leave, even if the angle is very off, but anyway, in the last row, far away, it does not affect the viewing.
When the lights are dark, the screen lights up.
Li Lecheng sighed, and was about to pull down his mask, when the people in the next seat came sparsely.
"Vivian, you sit in the middle point, the angle is better." A familiar voice rang out.
Li Lecheng paused, slowly raised his glasses, and peeked: I saw Li Keqin holding a bucket of popcorn and nodding at Zhou Huimin stupidly.
"Ah Qin, no need, it was originally your treat."
Zhou Huimin glanced at the flying boys who were carrying sugarcane and entering the same row of seats with them behind him, and immediately shook his head, thinking, it is better to sit in the seat inside, it looks like a couple inside, and there is no sugarcane, it should still be very civilized.
Li Keqin followed Zhou Huimin's line of sight and looked behind him, startled, and hurriedly sat down to obediently serve as the isolation zone for the cane gang.
Li Keqin rarely invited his crush Zhou Huimin to watch a movie, and used a very lame reason: to support the movie starring their benefactor!
Because of Li Lecheng's words, the two people who should not have been able to enter the top 15 successfully entered the top five and won the record contract of Huaxing, Li Keqin is still the third runner-up, and Zhou Huimin has suddenly become a new young male killer, everyone is preparing to release the film, and the future is very good.
But in the entertainment industry, the two of them are just a little popular shrimp newcomers, and they can't get in touch with Li Lecheng, and they don't know how to thank him. Being a fan, buying records, movie tickets, and magazines is the only thing you can do.
Although the two of them, an honest man and a good lady, it is a little strange to be a fan of such a rolling star as Li Lecheng...... Especially Xiaomin, it is even more difficult to speak, Li Lecheng's female fans are either flying girls or prodigal girls, and they are not good girls left and right. Therefore, Li Keqin became the only colleague in her life, and they kept this secret together.
Forming a group with his crush to chase stars, so that the distance between Li Keqin and Zhou Huimin has suddenly become closer, he is now Xiaomin's best friend, Zhou Huimin never goes out with boys alone, they are all a group of people, but today he said that he wanted to watch Li Lecheng's movie, and he successfully made an appointment with her. In order to cherish this dating opportunity, Li Keqin did his homework and bought tickets for two dramas in a row, they first went to the Shaw Brothers theater in Kowloon, and then jumped to Lisheng to watch another one.
Today's goal is to hold the little hand!
watched "The Flower Street Age" before and failed, Xiao Min was like a girl in the audience, staring at the screen the whole time, to be precise, staring at the benefactor, and didn't pay attention to him...... But I have to say that although it is not a romance film, the benefactor is still very powerful, and as soon as the couples in the entire theater are playing and holding hands, it makes people blush and heartbeat. It was his own waste wood, he didn't seize the opportunity, and he didn't dare to hold hands with Xiao Min.
Luckily, he still has one more chance!
"Eight Immortals Restaurant's Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun" looks like a horror movie, if it is a horror movie, Xiao Min is scared, maybe his chance will come!
18-year-old Li Keqin secretly cheered himself up in his heart!
At this time, in the open space behind the last row of chairs in the theater, the staff moved a row of stools in.
Then Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, Gui Zhihong, Qiu Litao and others rushed in, and everyone was drunk. After all, in this play, Director Gui only dared to press 5 million, but the optimistic Shi Nansheng pressed it to 18 million, one day at a time, which made everyone even more nervous.
Originally, the filmmakers came to see the audience's feedback, and they didn't need tickets, so they could find a seat at will, but today it was full, and they had to add seats to themselves.
"They all said to come late, it's scary to come early." A voice that accompanies the day rings from the back of his head.
Gui Dao!
Li Lecheng wailed in his heart: How can we all get together!
He was unlucky.
There are so many interesting places in Hong Kong, where is he going, and Ming Cai comes to Youjian Wang;
There are hundreds of theaters in Hong Kong, where is Ming Cai going, saying that he wants to go to Lisheng;
There are nearly 130,000 theater seats in Hong Kong, and he just sat with these people!
Li Lecheng was full of swear words in his heart, and he felt that every minute he sat here was torture!
Not to mention how rich Li Lecheng's heart is active.
The movie begins.
