Non-famous Actor

Beijing, Xingye Cinema

Standing in the theater lobby, Yu Dong raised his hand and looked at his watch with a rather anxious expression.

It is now 4:50 p.m. Beijing time. Together with Yi Long, we drove to seven movie theaters in a row, except for one theater under the New Film Federation with a handwritten good news [Directed by the famous director Sun Hao, the latest movie of the international kung fu superstar Yi Long] "The Martian" is officially released at 7pm today! ], the others have no additional 'representation' at all!

The movie poster is owed!

TV commercials, no!

Hire a few young guys at the entrance of the theater to act as cartoon characters to promote along the street, hehe, you are overthinking!

...

Taking out his mobile phone, Yu Dong made eight calls in a row, but the result showed that the other party was turned off.

This annoyed him even more.

What did Sun Hao's grandson do?

Didn't you know that "The Martian" is going to be released today?

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chinese people are on holiday, and family members get together to have a meal and watch a movie... What a great opportunity is this? !

As a result, Sun Hao, who led the movie promotion, didn't even put up the movie posters. The 20 million US dollars in promotion fees, could it be that this grandson didn't have any money left? !

However, compared to Yi Long with bursting veins, clenched fists and gnashing teeth, Yu Dong's complexion is not bad.

Grandma is a bear, I didn't get a penny for filming "The Martian", I relied on the box office share, if the box office is not strong, then I can only drink Northwest Wind.

"Brother, brother, calm down first."

Yu Dong, who wanted to jump up and scold Sun Hao, turned around and saw that Yan Long looked like this, and instantly forgot that he had invested 8 million US dollars in "The Martian", and instead patiently persuaded him .

"Brother, think about it, has Sun Hao let us down before? Like the movie "Kun Chi Yan". At that time, many international media gave us free publicity."

"The promotion of "Kun Chi Yan" was 15 days ahead of schedule."

"Then... and, when "Train to Busan" was released, 200,000 young people in Seoul took to the streets to protest, which directly alarmed the governments of many countries!"

"The promotion of "Train to Busan" is 7 days ahead of schedule!"

"Then... and also, for "Moon" that was released some time ago, Sun Hao unexpectedly used the influence of Commander Bushi to organize a Singles' Day promotion. Originally, this small-budget movie that was not expected by the outside world was directly released in the world. Sweeping the box office of 200 million US dollars."

"The promotion of "Moon" is three days ahead of schedule."

Speaking of this, trying to calm down, Yi Long sighed and said: "Mr. Yu, "The Martian" is different from those few movies, it is only two hours away from the official screening.

According to my experience in the film and television industry for so many years, at this time, no matter what movie promotion we do, I'm afraid we will be powerless! "

Powerless... Maybe!

Otherwise, Sun Hao would not turn off his phone for no reason.

Thinking of this, Yu Dong shook his head.

Just pay a little bit, after all, I made a lot of money following Sun Hao before.

To comfort myself, I was about to go out for a drink with Yi Long who was also depressed.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, even if you lose money, you still have to feel a little bit of the Chinese New Year atmosphere, isn't it? !

But when the two were walking out, a plainly dressed aunt from the capital hurriedly ran into the cinema from outside.

"Hey, hey, girl, can tickets be sold for the movie "The Martian" at seven o'clock in the evening?"

"Of course it can be sold!"

The ticket sales lady stood up lazily from the counter. Today is the Spring Festival, and she should have rested at home, but the boss said that Sun Hao's latest sci-fi blockbuster "The Martian" will be released, and all the theater staff must work overtime.

Overtime..., overtime shit!

There are still two hours until the screening starts, but there is not even a ghost asking about "The Martian" in the cinema, um..., except for Mr. Yu and that kung fu star Tan Long.

But what about the service staff?

The expression on her face and her mental activity are always so inconsistent. Seeing the swift-footed Aunt Jingcheng running over, even though she was complaining in her heart, the ticket sales lady smiled sweetly and said:

"How many people are you watching a movie with?

Where are you going to choose? "

However, in the face of the enthusiasm of the ticket sales lady, the panting aunt in Beijing answered irrelevantly: "Girl, how much is a ticket?"

"25 yuan!"

"25 yuan?" Aunt Jingcheng's face was a little tangled.

"Hello, this is a movie directed by Sun Hao. The ticket price of 25 yuan is really not much. What's more, this time, our mainland will be released simultaneously with North America, Japan and South Korea." explained immediately.

"No, girl, you misunderstood. What I mean is, can your movie ticket prices go up...for example, to 100 yuan per ticket."

"Well…"

Hearing this strange request, not to mention the ticket sales lady was stunned, even Yu Dong and Yan Long who wanted to leave were surprised and speechless.

Are there so many local tyrants in China now?

Do you feel lost when you watch a movie that costs 25 yuan a movie ticket? !

But just when the three of them were puzzled, there was another sound of scattered footsteps from outside the cinema, and the one running in the front was an old man, not only physically strong, but also with a surprisingly loud voice.

"Girl, please wait a moment. I will cover all the screenings of "The Martian" in your cinema today, no matter how many theaters there are, how many seats there are, or how many shows are shown in each theater!"

"Old Liu, you fucking fart, I was the first to arrive, okay? If you want to reserve the venue, I will also reserve the venue first."

"Go away, what are you planning to do?

We have a share to see, since I am here, then, girl, the biggest screening room has to be reserved for me. "

"Li Cuifen, why should I leave it to you?

Are you bullying me for not having money?

Come, come, girl, this is 20,000 yuan in cash, just give me a movie ticket for this amount. "

………

From the appearance of the first lady in Beijing who bought tickets to the long queue in the cinema lobby, the time was only five minutes.

Moreover, these angry movie audiences all have a common characteristic, waving banknotes in their hands, and they want to book the show with their mouths and mouths.

Looking at this weird scene, Yi Long and Yu Dong glanced at each other, and they were puzzled at the same time, what the hell happened? !

At this moment, Han Shanye's call also reached Yu Dong's cell phone.

"Haha..., Dongzi, where are you?"

"We're at Xingye Cinema with Big Brother!"

"Oh..., Tan Long is here too, that's just right, let's meet at Li's Cuisine in half an hour and talk about the follow-up of "The Martian"."

"Oh... no, Mr. Han, what happened?

Fifteen minutes ago, the Xingye Cinema was still very deserted, basically there were no people there, but now, the people in the cinema are almost lined up on the street, and everyone is carrying a large amount of cash saying that they want to book a viewing? "

"Secretary viewing... Hey, of course they are going to private viewing." Han Shanye on the phone smiled mysteriously.

"Dongzi, brother, if there are no accidents, the final global box office of "The Martian" should exceed one billion, um... I'm talking about US dollars."

"Oh ah!"
