Chapter 38: [Half]

"This ...... Come together with us, a person who is only half of the show. ”

April 1st, April Fool's Day,

Although this festival is not so important in the Tang Kingdom, at night, there are still some young people who go to the streets together.

As a horror film, the schedule of "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is scheduled for the evening.

And because of the premiere, the theaters led by Light and Shadow Media have been given a range of three shows.

The duration of the movie is ninety-six minutes, and the three sessions add up to nearly five hours.

From eighteen o'clock to the closing of the cinema in the early morning, the audience can choose from a wide range.

But in fact, as the first scene of the premiere, the movie "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" was not even completed.

On the ticketing platform, there are only half the number of seat selections.

Even, this also includes the share of more than a dozen people in the crew.

As its own film, the premiere of course has to be supported.

Moreover, they also want to see the evaluation and performance of real audiences after seeing this film.

But as a result, they were all disappointed.

"Today's April Fool's Day is another day off, and there are so few of them."

Zhang Yuming's face was full of pessimism, "In the next few days, wouldn't it be even less." ”

It's all advertised like that, and the premiere can only attract less than half of the audience.

Isn't this stereotype too much?

Don't even give it a chance?

"The premiere was seven o'clock in the evening, probably just in time for dinner."

In the waiting area of the cinema, Lu Zhengyi glanced at the other people with crying faces, and comforted him, "Most people come to the cinema to watch movies, not alone, and the cinema is opened in some shopping malls, so it's normal for everyone to eat first and then come to see it." ”

"I look at the next two sessions, and it's almost half a seat reservation."

"I switched the positioning to the urban area, except for those remote small theaters, those large cinema lines that open near shopping malls, there can be more or less a little audience, and a few can reach half of the seat reservations."

"It seems that the publicity is amplified, and the effect is quite good."

Others did not feel comforted.

What is called, there can still be a little bit of an audience.

Director Lu's request, was it so low?

Spend so much time and energy, just for two or three kittens?

"The current situation, I feel good, there is hope, much better than I expected."

Compared with the pessimistic expressions of the actors and crew, Deputy Director Zhang Yu looked happy this time.

He was not as angry as he was when he only saw the comment section.

"Director Zhang, can the current situation still be considered good?"

Zhang Yuming, who was not in a hurry, opened his mouth, and Chang Zhengwei asked.

"Of course."

Zhang Yu was in a good mood, "Before I saw these reserved seats, I felt that no one would come to the cinema to watch our films. ”

"Compared to the two, that's not a good thing."

Everyone else was a little speechless.

This director and assistant director, why are they so good in mentality.

Especially the director, most of the money for this film was invested by him.

That's the audience, it's not enough to get back to the basics!

"Actually, it's really good."

Lu Zhengyi looked at them and was a little helpless, "Maybe ha, everyone cares too much about the box office on the premiere day." ”

"But whether there is no need to care about the premiere, that is also a case-by-case scenario. A film like ours that is stereotyped in itself, and all the newcomers, why would anyone be willing to support the premiere? Don't you all have to wait and see? ”

"After all, this movie ticket is not cheap, we happily came out to play, but we spent 30 or 40 yuan to watch a bad movie, not to mention the waste of time, but also affect the mood and money, who wants to."

"Results, then you have to see what kind of evaluation these viewers give when they walk out of the theater after watching the film."

"So the important thing about this premiere is not how many viewers come, but whether there can be an audience."

"Some films are filmed, and there is no audience, whether it is good or not, no one knows at all."

"Now there is a person who is willing to come to the bottom of the matter, and even today is half a day to catch April Fool's Day, I feel good!"

This premiere can be full of movies, aren't they all veteran actors carrying the box office, otherwise, there are traffic stars as the base.

Like their crew, they don't have anything.

If it weren't for the help of big names like Shu Wen and them, they might not even have an audience for this half.

Now that he can have this achievement, Lu Zhengyi is already content anyway.

The rest can only depend on the quality of the film.

If this is good, there should still be an audience in the back.

But if it's not good, then no amount of publicity and distribution resources will be useless.

"Alright, it's time to get ready to enter." Lu Zhengyi clapped his hands and stood up, "My mobile phone is turned off, wait a minute, if anyone sits next to me and plays with his mobile phone, ruining my viewing experience, I won't be polite." ”

Zhang Yu and the others stood up with a sneer and turned off their mobile phones in front of him.

Next to it, there were many waiting audiences in the theater, and the staff all turned their eyes over.

Such a large group of people are piled up in this rest area, just like the company's team building watching a movie, which is quite eye-catching.

But that's just a look.

Lu Zhengyi stood up, the muscular man, and the black cap, looked fierce, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a good stubble.

It belongs to the type that most people meet on the road and don't want to look at it, for fear of being falsely accused.

A large group of people passed the ticket check and entered the theater, and walked to the movie theater lively.

In April, it's not too hot.

But the closed and stuffy movie theaters already have air conditioning.

The movie hasn't started yet, commercials and theater fire protection knowledge are playing, and the lights in the aisles haven't turned on yet.

Lu Zhengyi and his party entered the venue on time, sitting in rows of seats.

Then they stared into the eyes and looked at the seat at the entrance.

Every time a young couple enters the venue with milk tea and is sticky and greasy, they nod with satisfaction.

Fortunately, the lights in this theater are turned off quickly, otherwise people will be scared away.

"Why are there so many people in horror movies?"

"Is this movie very popular lately?"

"It's almost half the seat, it's the first time I've met."

"Oh, look at what is written here, Lu Yiyong's son took it."

"I told you to pick that literary film earlier, you look at this, there are so many ...... people"

……

And as the lights in the theater dimmed, some subtle conversations began to sound.

It's nothing more than that they are surprised that a horror movie can have so many people.

From time to time, someone took out their mobile phone to check the information of the movie.

Of course, for couples who rush to the theater to watch horror movies with fewer people and a good atmosphere, it is suitable for taking the relationship further.
