Xiao Zhang of Hui Province is a little depressed now.

According to custom, the relatives of my mother's family will come over in a group the day after tomorrow.

They are from the next county, which is relatively far away, so Xiao Zhang's family takes turns to get together to pay New Year's greetings.

This year, it will be his family's turn, and the five families of his uncle and aunt will come together.

Zhang's task is to take care of five families with a total of 7 children.

How to take care of it, the most trouble-free and longest-facing is Xiao Zhang, a college student, who takes his cousins and cousins to the movies.

In recent years, going to the cinema to watch a movie is not new in first-tier cities.

But in the county where Xiao Zhang is located, because of economic development, this kind of thing is still very luxurious.

After the cousins and cousins learned about the movie activities on the phone, they couldn't do it happily one by one, and the uncles and aunts also boasted that Xiao Zhang was promising, and they were willing to take their younger brothers and sisters to see the world.

This made Xiao Zhang very proud.

In order to arrange it properly, he made a movie plan today.

It is said that the three movies in the Spring Festival file are all good-looking.

The best guide to watching the movie is also given online.

If you want to watch it as a family, the first choice is of course "Wonderful Night 2", which is suitable for all ages, especially for students, and has educational significance.

The second is "People in Embarrassment", which is simple and easy.

If you watch it yourself, or if you have a certain level of appreciation, then watch "Crazy Racing", this film is very good, but children may not understand it.

Xiao Zhang briefly read the strategy, so he directly aimed at "Wonderful Night 2", and then opened the Maoyan ticket.

Select AQ City, Hui Province.

The resulting web page is refreshed.

Xiao Zhang immediately frowned.

Isn't there a lot of theaters in the AQ area?

How to open the network to pre-order only 5 companies?

Anyway, find the nearest one.

After clicking in, select January 28, the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Then choose "Wonderful Night 2".

As soon as the result is refreshed, it is a series of "sold out".

The above prompts that the online tickets have been sold out, and you have to go to the site to buy them.

This Nima!

Xiao Zhang almost scolded.

That's too hot, isn't it?

But what else can be done?

For the face of the first college student of the old Zhang family, and for the adoring eyes of the younger brothers and sisters, I have to go!

That night, Xiao Zhang rode a battery car and went straight to the city.

Fortunately, the road is not far, just a small city, and the distance between urban and rural areas is not far.

After entering the city, he went straight to the theater he was most familiar with.

As a result, the theater is closed!

Xiao Zhang finally couldn't help but complain this time.

A small city is a small city.

People's first-tier cities are not closed for the New Year, and you are actually closed!

After scolding for a while, Xiao Zhang rushed to the next theater.

As a result, it was not until the third store that it was opened.

Xiao Zhang did not hesitate and went straight in.

Luckily, after standing in line, he finally bought 8 tickets, along with his own ticket.

Unfortunately, the show is relatively late, and it will be the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

But he was lucky after all.

At this time, in many second-tier cities and below, many fans have encountered the problem of not being able to buy tickets.

It's different from first-tier cities.

Many theaters in these cities are not ready to open two or three days before the Spring Festival.

The reason has also been said before.

Although Lu Ping'an has been shouting for the Spring Festival.

The appeal is also very strong.

But the Spring Festival stalls have always been cool stalls after all.

Some movie theater owners feel that Lu Ping'an can greet many fans.

But they feel that at least three days before the Spring Festival, there will definitely not be too many.

Wasn't it always like this before?

As soon as the Spring Festival arrives, the box office of the film market will be cut in half.

Last year, "Yangtze River No. 7" was slightly better.

But with that little profit, it is better to close Zhang and go home for the New Year, after all, they themselves and their employees are also going to celebrate the New Year.

Not only them, but also in cities with slightly worse economies, how many shops opened during the Chinese New Year, except for those opened by outsiders.

Citizens are also returning to their hometowns to pay New Year's greetings.

There weren't many people in the first place.

This will also affect the judgment of the theater owner.

The impact of this is what happened to Xiao Zhang.

There are not many theaters in the surrounding area that are open and open for online pre-ordering, and tickets cannot be bought.

Then you can only go to the scene to buy, and if you go to the scene, of course, it is the principle of proximity, or find a familiar one.

As a result, the familiar theater did not open.

And then it can only be tossed.

Some people retreated and prepared to come back in a few days, while others went to a theater further away, which made ticketing very tight.

also encountered this problem, as well as John Woo.

The next day, on the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Douban has finally opened its score.

At this time, Douban has already scored three movies.

"Wonderful Night at the Museum 2", rating 8.8

"Crazy Racing", rating 8.6

"People in Embarrassment", with a score of 8.3

All so high?!

At this time, Wu Yusen, who is in the mainland and is also concerned about the situation of the Spring Festival stalls in the mainland, expressed such emotion.

He knows Douban, and this website is very objective.

Of course, he didn't think so at first, because the ratings of the two parts of "Red Cliff" did not exceed 6.4

But the rest of the movies under his name, such as "The True Color of Heroes", have 8.6

And the website's evaluation of him is indeed very objective.

Therefore, whether "Under the Red Cliff" can give Lu Ping'an a backstab in the Spring Festival, Douban's score is one of the targets of Wu Yusen's judgment.

The results are now out, and Wu Yusen is suddenly a little disappointed.

Then he decided.

He wants to watch the movie himself.

After all, the website rating will fluctuate, and Lu Ping'an has a lot of power, so maybe he will also make moves in this regard?

So he gave the assistant an order directly: "Go buy a ticket, buy all three." ”

The assistant didn't understand, but nodded his head.

Just raised his legs, Wu Yusen reminded again: "Avoid big cities." ”

The reason is very simple, because he is John Woo, he can't be photographed trying to investigate the enemy.

"Understood."

The assistant took the order and left.

But it didn't take long for him to come back and inform: "Boss, can't buy a ticket." ”

John Woo: "!! ”

"I looked for a few cities, but there are no more today, so I have to buy them offline, and I have to buy them offline tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but many theaters are not open."

After hearing this, John Woo was slightly shocked by the popularity of the movie.

But that's about it.

He felt that this situation still had some meaning of "God help me".

"No matter how strong Lu Ping'an's propaganda offensive is, it can't change the customs of the Chinese New Year after all!"

Wu Yusen pointed at the country with a smile, and then made a judgment, "This Spring Festival, Lu Ping'an may win, but he will never win completely, it is likely that he is the final loser!" ”

The reason is simple.

What does it mean to open the Spring Festival stalls?

Just think about Cheng Long in the golden age of Xiangjiang.

The movie is released during the Lunar New Year.

At that time, all cinemas in Hong Kong gave up the Chinese New Year and opened for business.

So far, Hong Kong has the concept of Chinese New Year stalls.

Cheng Long has also become recognized as the "originator of the Chinese New Year".

The status improvement this brought to Cheng Long is immeasurable.

And now Lu Ping'an wants to open the Spring Festival stalls in the mainland.

The idea is good, the ambition is also there, the appeal is even stronger, and the quality of the movie is really good from the reviews.

But the extent to which he has done has not changed the entire film market model.

Just look at the theaters that are still closed for the New Year.

Maybe next year they will change their model and feel that they missed last year, that is, this year's Spring Festival stalls are very lossy, so they choose not to close the Spring Festival.

But at that time, was there only Lu Ping'an's movies in the film market?

When the time comes, everyone knows that this schedule has potential, will they let it go?

Therefore, Lu Ping'an may be the initiator of the Spring Festival file, but he is by no means the "originator" of the Spring Festival file, and other capital will also dilute his influence.

In this year's Spring Festival, Lu Ping'an's three movies failed to fully meet box office expectations, and in the end, the title of "originator" could not be obtained.

Isn't that the biggest loser?

After hearing this, the assistant gave a thumbs up: "Boss Gaojian!" ”

As soon as the words fell, another assistant hurried into the office.

"Boss, watch the news!" (End of chapter)
