Chapter 261: [Scalper]

": Six, the premiere pre-sale on the platform has just opened, and it will be gone in less than a second."

": A movie premiere ticket sells for 766, who understands the family, are scalpers crazy?"

": Don't laugh, the one with seven hundred and sixty-one has already been sold, and I collected a premiere ticket on Weibo, and it cost 1,007!"

": Is it necessary for a premiere? One thousand seventeen, that's enough for my living expenses for two months! ”

"Perhaps for some people, there is no difference between a movie ticket of a few dozen yuan and a movie ticket of several thousand yuan."

": Don't say anything else, just to meet Director Lu, take a photo with him, and put it at home to ward off evil spirits."

……

Regarding the release of the Xenodimensional Space, many viewers are looking forward to it, and they very much want to know what kind of charter Lu Zhengyi's 'warm film' is.

If other directors direct and label 'warmth' in a horror movie, absolutely no audience will take the bait, because this kind of propaganda is a poison point and a failure.

But if it is Lu Zhengyi, they are willing to expect what kind of warm film can be made by such an inappropriate director.

As a premiere venue with a premiere event, movie tickets were even more frantically snatched.

Compared with the past, the ticket price of a horror movie that no one bought for dozens of dollars, the price of scalper tickets has soared directly to hundreds, thousands, and there are really buyers who are not bad for money and are willing to do this injustice in order to participate.

"This is too exaggerated, isn't it, there are thousands of tickets that people are willing to buy?"

Not to mention Assistant Wang, who is still inexperienced, this time even Zhang Yu, who is an old fritter, was dumbfounded, "Do they think this is a concert, this is the first time I've heard that the price of movie tickets can be so high." ”

As the main creative team participating in the premiere event, several of them have been staying in Beidu after the official announcement of the film's finalization, waiting for the participation of the event.

After all, Lu Zhengyi has always been a resolute person, like that kind of movie, even if it has passed the review, it will take months or even years from finalization to release, and it will not happen to him.

From the finalization to the date of the premiere, it is only a little more than a week.

These times, even if they go back, they don't have any work schedules.

However, near the last day of the premiere, something special appeared on the Internet.

"It's a bit rare, but it's true."

Regarding the 'thousand-yuan movie ticket thing', among several people, Huang Yunli, who is relatively less qualified, seems to be more knowledgeable, "There was a movie with a lot of traffic to participate in the roadshow event, and three activities were held in three cities. ”

"As far as I know, the ticket price range for those three events is between 3,000 and 5,000 yuan."

"Among them, a few of the internal fans who were able to get close to the interaction on stage offered a price of at least tens of thousands, although it was said that it was a lottery interaction."

It is worth mentioning that her seat is some distance away from several other people.

The conference room, with only a few people, looked empty.

But Huang Yunli stayed away from a few people and sat alone at the end of the table.

"Because I don't have a brokerage company, and I don't have a broker, I run the accounts of various platforms by myself."

As if to make her words more convincing, she explained, "I occasionally mingle with the fan groups of other celebrities, learn about some popular hot spots, and then post some videos and blog posts that they are interested in, so I know more about this aspect." ”

Huang Yunli is as motivated and proactive as ever.

"But that's too much, can we sue them?"

Zhou Ziyun frowned, "If the price is speculated by these scalpers, it will have a great impact on us, right?" ”

"When I came, I paid a little attention to the comments, and there were already some people who put it down to something like a concert."

"They think it's our insiders who are operating and maliciously inflating ticket prices."

In this era of the supremacy of profit, it is natural for people to have such speculation about this situation.

Assistant Wang said helplessly, "You can't sue for sure." ”

"As long as the buyer and seller are voluntary, and the buyer has a full understanding of the use, quality, and nature of the movie ticket, then this is a lawful act. Buying low and selling high is inherently a way for businessmen to make profits. ”

"In this situation, it is obvious that both the buyer and the seller are voluntary, and we can't interfere with the transaction if you want it, and there is no way to sue them."

Of course, there is also a situation that maliciously disrupts the market order, and the objects are medicines, food, and daily necessities...... Some daily necessities are monopolized and prices raised, which is an illegal business operation, and this can be held responsible.

But obviously, scalpers snapping up low-priced movie tickets and selling them at a high price have not reached the threshold of illegal business for the time being.

People are commensurate with friends in private, I just have a movie ticket here, and I can't go when the time comes, you just have a thousand yuan of spare money over there, you give me the money, and I give the ticket to you, which can only be regarded as hovering on the edge of breaking the law at most.

"Don't worry, Xue Ming will handle this matter."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, signaling them not to worry, "When the time comes, let's return the ticket money to them according to their remittance records before entering the venue." ”

"Huh?"

Several people were a little confused, "Let's pay?" ”

"There's no way, scalpers probably can't be held accountable, but we can't let fans who are willing to come to support this vacancy bear it." Lu Zhengyi groaned, "Xue Ming, I mean, Mr. Zhang of the Light and Shadow Group, if she thinks that this matter is borne by us, it is a way to deal with it properly." ”

"Besides, we are the premiere of the movie, and we don't really hold a concert, at most there are dozens of seats, if we make up for them, the money lost is obviously only a small amount compared to the prestige gained."

"But for this reason, we may have fewer premiere events in the future."

After all, this kind of thing is like after you become popular, and there will be some business troubles from time to time, which is unavoidable and there is no way to solve it.

How many singers hold concerts, and they feel that their ticket prices are probably set at two or three hundred.

Hire a professional singer for two hours and sing one after another, and the price of two or three hundred is very reasonable.

But when they stood on the stage and interacted with the fans below, and got the news that a ticket had actually sold thousands, how many singers had black faces.

For so many years, this problem has been clear to everyone, but no one has been able to solve it.

Because there is a profit, something like this is bound to happen.

If you want to avoid it, the only way is not to hold the event.

Listening to Lu Zhengyi's explanation, the others did not speak again.

Backed by the Light and Shadow Group, many things don't actually need to be understood and solved by their crew.

For example, in this premiere event, they only need to think about how to interact with the audience on stage when the time comes.

And about the theater side, the live broadcast platform, and the ticketing platform...... These more cumbersome matters have already been handled for them.

"But speaking of personal operations, Yun Li, when I auditioned before, I looked at some of your accounts."

Lu Zhengyi looked at Huang Yunli with a smile, "What do you say about the content of the shooting, the hot spots are keeping up, but the shooting is not good, you should have shot it yourself, right?" Otherwise, it's some amateur friends, but it will definitely not be a professional photographer to help shoot, it's too sloppy. ”

Huang Yunli smiled awkwardly, obviously, those works were her own masterpieces.

"It's really tiring to do things alone."

Lu Zhengyi continued, "Not only do you have to find out all kinds of information, but you also have to hand out business cards everywhere and submit your resume. ”

"I have to cut the videos I shoot, and I have to refine the photos myself."

"With so many chores, how can you have time to make a lot of money."

On the side, Zhang Yu and the others did not speak at the right time.

Huang Yunli listened silently, but did not speak.

True, she hasn't signed yet.

Or should I say that I didn't give Assistant Wang a positive answer.

But that's normal.

After all, compared to before, the Meici cat crew has only one choice, and that is to accept.

The current crew has a second choice because of the mountain watchers, that is, to forget this memory, as if the Guzhai Record crew forgot what they had encountered on that mountain.

Having one more choice means that the invitee will hesitate for a while.

Of course, there will also be a situation where Zhou Ziyun is desperate and signs the contract on the day he learns the truth.

"Actually, I've always been puzzled."

Assistant Wang also interjected at this time and asked, "Yunli, as a Chaocheng person, the folk atmosphere over there should be quite heavy, right?" ”

"I've also seen the spells filmed by Director Lu before, such as Fucheng, Taicheng, Shancheng...... A lot of the people around you are fascinated by these things. ”

"It stands to reason that you should be more receptive to this than the rest of the crew, right?"

But why didn't you give yourself an answer for a long time?

To be honest, the first time he engaged in personnel work, Wang Yao was still quite interested in Huang Yunli.

Especially during the period of waiting for a reply during the Chinese New Year, the status of her affairs in her heart is almost the same as grabbing a red envelope.

"Indeed, many families over there have to have at least once a month to worship the moon and the lord." Huang Yunli bit her lip, "But worshipping and making offerings for the sake of customs, health, and peace of mind is different from accepting that they are actually real." ”

She didn't know what other people were like.

Anyway, she grew up in that kind of folk atmosphere, and after knowing that there are ghosts in this world, and even the director of their crew is a character like a fairy, many of her cognitions have collapsed.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, all parts of the city begin to be lively, holding various parades and celebrations, and almost every street has a strong smell of incense.

Huang Yunli walked on the street, and there was a feeling that the streets were full of gods walking.

Because the wandering gods invite the gods out of the palace, if the ghosts and gods are real, then in another world that she can't see, those gods may be happily enjoying this festival that people hold for them.

This made her leave her hometown without hesitation and devote herself to work.

"Gods? It doesn't have to be. Assistant Wang first looked at Lu Zhengyi, and then looked at Huang Yunli, "I remember that it was written in the employee handbook that there are no immortals in this world, didn't you read it?" ”

On the side, Zhou Ziyun looked at them with a complicated face and talked about ghosts and gods.

If these conversations were heard by the operators outside, they would have thought they were all crazy.

"I don't know what the definition of a fairy is in our crew."

Huang Yunli groaned, "But in our Chaocheng, many gods are actually ghosts. ”

"They are some celebrities in ancient times, maybe some generals, maybe some Qingliu celebrities, and some are the ancestors of local surnames."

"Some of their deeds during their lifetimes made the locals feel very admired, so they were 'canonized gods', and after being passed down from generation to generation, they became gods in the hearts of our Chaocheng people, so if ghosts exist, they may also exist."

The folklore atmosphere of Chaocheng is indeed very heavy, but this does not mean that she will be more receptive to this fact.

At least after knowing the truth, her life was greatly affected.

And if she forgets, she may not have goosebumps when the wind blows the curtains next to her, and she will not be afraid to be alone.

"Anyway, give me an answer as soon as possible." Lu Zhengyi listened to her explanation and gave up the idea of persuasion, "If you forget this memory, you can continue to be an ordinary actor, and you don't have to be suspicious all day long." ”

"But in fact, even if I accept it, I don't necessarily guarantee that there will always be a suitable role for you in the future."

"Just like the other actors in our crew, I only invite them when there is a suitable role. However, they generally believe that having such an experience is extremely special for their lives, both in terms of vision and mentality. ”

The truth is like a key.

Before I knew it, people were in the house, safe and comfortable, and at the same time, they needed to follow the framework given by the society to make money, buy a house, buy a car, and get married...... Some things seem to be the same, as if everyone is an NPC in the game world.

After knowing, people are more able to go out of the house, get rid of the inherent shackles, dilute some trivial things of money and fame, yearn for the outside world, do what they want to do, and become a player.

But no matter which choice is made, there are good and bad for people.

And as the last day passed, Xenospace was officially released.

On March 1, some big cities even couldn't grab movie tickets.

Even if there is no ordinary venue for the premiere event, those viewers who did not buy tickets in advance felt the heat that only Spring Festival movies have, and when they clicked on the ticketing platform, they could only see the red color on the screen.

Those are seats that have already been booked for purchase.

A few years ago, who would have thought that a horror film would be like this.
