Entertainment from Divorce

Inside a cinema.

"Isn't this Po?"

A family who had just finished watching Kung Fu Panda exclaimed in surprise when they saw the dolls being put on display in the theater.

The child's eyes lit up and he just stood there, unable to move.

"Mom and Dad, can you buy me a Po? It's so cute, I want it!" the child said coquettishly.

Hearing this, the parents looked at each other.

The father said, "Why don't you buy one for your son? He has been studying so hard recently and got full marks on the exams."

When the child heard his father say this, his eyes lit up and he looked at his mother.

The mother wanted to refuse, but when she saw her son's gaze, she gritted her teeth and asked the clerk, "How much is this panda doll?"

The clerk had a professional smile on his face and said, "These dolls have just arrived. There is a discount during the release of Kung Fu Panda. Anyone who has seen the movie can buy them at a 20% discount. In total, each doll costs less than 100 yuan, which is very cheap."

Hearing the clerk's words, the whole family's eyes lit up.

The child immediately said excitedly: "Yes, yes, we just watched Kung Fu Panda."

Dad also said: "It's less than 100 yuan each, it's really cheap, honey, let's buy one!"

Mom thought about it and said, "Okay, let's buy three."

Soon, the family of three walked out of the cinema, each holding a doll.

As soon as they went out, the dolls in their hands immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Hey, is this doll of yours a character from Kung Fu Panda? Where did you buy it?"

When the child heard this, a smile appeared on his face. He held the doll and said proudly, "We bought this at the store in the cinema. It was very cheap!"

After hearing this, passers-by turned their eyes to the cinema and thought about going to see a movie.

This scene is being played out all over the country, and many people are attracted by the panda dolls and walk into the cinema.

With the popularity of panda dolls, more people are paying attention to movies.

At the same time, people began to pay attention to pandas.

"After watching Kung Fu Panda, I found that pandas are really cute. I have already planned to go to Sichuan Province to see pandas."

"Yes, pandas are really cute. Where can I see pandas?"

"Ah? Didn't you watch Kung Fu Panda? It was mentioned in the subtitles of the movie. It's the panda breeding base in Sichuan Province!"

Everyone was interested in pandas.

The entrance of Sichuan Panda Breeding Base.

There was a large group of people queuing here. Some of them came here regularly, while others were here for the first time. They all leaned their heads to look towards the door.

"It's such a long line, how long will it take to get there?"

"I can't help it. Kung Fu Panda is so popular right now, so there are a lot of people watching pandas."

There were constant shouts and everyone was lining up to see the pandas, and they had been waiting for a long time.

"Why are there so many people? I wouldn't have come if I had known!" a tourist shouted.

After hearing his words, a tourist holding a camera behind him said directly: "If you don't want to queue, you might as well leave quickly and visit other places. The scenery there is very good."

When he heard someone urging him to leave, the tourist asked back, "Are there pandas to see at those attractions?"

"Of course not!"

"What the hell are you talking about? I'm here just to see the pandas. Can't I go to other attractions after seeing the pandas?"

While a few people were discussing, they saw a team starting to move at the door in front.

"It's open, it's open, the door is finally open!"

"Hey, everyone, don't crowd, enter the base in an orderly manner. Everyone has limited time to visit, so please follow the staff's arrangements!"

A staff member was holding a loudspeaker and shouting at the tourists, sweat oozing out of his forehead.

Before the release of Kung Fu Panda, they were already very popular here.

But I didn't expect it to be even more popular now, with people crowding everywhere.

The staff were quite worried and afraid of a stampede, so they sent a lot of people here to maintain order.

However, everyone's enthusiasm for coming to see the pandas has not diminished at all, but has become even more enthusiastic.

"One group of thirty people, please enter in an orderly manner and do not crowd!" the staff shouted, selecting thirty tourists from the queue and letting them enter the base.

These thirty people will tour the panda breeding base under the arrangement of the staff.

The staff will continue to select people only after thirty people have left the door.

In fact, it is not just these people who are busy in the panda breeding base. The ticket sellers are also extremely busy.

"Buy tickets, buy tickets, we want to see the pandas!"

"Three tickets for the panda show!"

At the ticket office, many tourists came to buy tickets, and they could only queue up after they bought the tickets.

Otherwise, it will be too late.

"Sorry, all the tickets for today are sold out. If you want to visit, you can come back tomorrow!"

"Sold out? I'm Korean, I came from Korea, and I'm going back tomorrow!" A Korean tourist said in surprise, his face full of disappointment.

When the ticket seller heard this, he glanced at the tourist, but still said helplessly: "Dear tourist, we understand your feelings, but the tickets for today's tour are sold out, and I can't do anything!"

"Can't you think of a solution?" the tourist couldn't help but ask.

The ticket seller said, "There's really nothing we can do. There are too many people coming to see the pandas recently. Next time you come, you can book your tickets online first."

After saying this, the ticket seller closed the ticket window and hung up a sold-out sign.

The ticket seller didn't expect that the tickets would be sold out at the beginning of the day.

He sorted out the accounts and returned directly to the ticketing department.

The head of the ticketing department was working when the door of his office was pushed open.

"Chief, today's tickets are sold out." The ticket seller shouted as he entered the room.

The person in charge of the ticketing department looked up in surprise when he heard this, and became even more surprised after glancing at the time.

"What? The tickets are sold out. What time is it now?"

The ticket seller quickly said, "Well, they're sold out. There are so many people coming to see the pandas that the ticket sales have increased tenfold. I think we can sell out all the tickets even if we increase the number of visitors!"

The ticket seller spoke of his feelings with confidence.

The head of the ticketing department nodded, looked up and glanced at the ticket seller, then said, "Very good, I understand what you are saying. I will report it to the director."

"Okay, Chief. I'll go take care of the accounts first."

"Go!"

……

Sichuan Panda Breeding Base.

Office of the Director.

"Director, are you in your office?"

"Come in!" The head of the ticketing department heard Director Lu's words and hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Director, I'm coming in."

Director Lu raised his head, looked at the person who came, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing here?"

The person in charge of the ticketing department quickly said, "Director, our base is overcrowded now. There are too many guests coming every day. We can't handle them all. The tickets are sold out early in the morning."

Director Lu listened to his subordinates' reports. The smile on his face gradually turned serious.

"I have also noticed the problem of too many tourists, but haven't we already increased the number of visitors?" Director Lu said.

They had anticipated this, so they increased the number of visitors and sent staff to guide them.

The person in charge of the ticketing department said quickly: "Director, it's useless. There are still too many people coming. I think we still need to increase the number of tourists!"

Hearing this, Director Lu was shocked and couldn't help asking, "What's going on? Why are there so many people here? Isn't it enough that we have increased the number of visitors?"

The head of the ticketing department quickly said, "Of course it's because of the release of 'Kung Fu Panda' directed by Tan Yue. Director, you don't know how popular this movie is. Let alone ticket sales, the sales from the souvenir shop alone are enough to break even for us."

Hearing this, Director Lu was shocked and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Is this true?" Director Lu couldn't believe it.

The head of the ticketing department quickly said, "Of course, I also heard it from Mr. Li from the Finance Department."

When Director Lu heard this, he frowned.

After a moment, Director Lu shouted, "Notify the section chiefs and others to hold a meeting!"

Soon, leaders of various departments of the entire panda breeding base gathered together.

Director Lu sat at the top of the conference room and looked at Section Chief Li of the Finance Department.

"Old Li, I heard that we got rich. Is that true?"

Section Chief Li stood up and immediately attracted the attention of a group of people.

Section Chief Li coughed, then spoke: "That's true, but it can't be said to be making a fortune. There are too many tourists nowadays, and tickets are selling very quickly. In addition, many people are buying panda dolls at the souvenir shop..."

Listening to Section Chief Li's story, the other section chiefs also looked surprised.

"My goodness, is our base so profitable now?"

"Didn't we rely entirely on subsidies from the province before? How come we're making money in the blink of an eye?"

"Needless to ask? Of course it's thanks to the movie Kung Fu Panda directed by Tan Yue! Without this movie, who would know us?"

Everyone was talking at once, expressing their gratitude to Tan Yue.

Director Lu slapped the table and everyone immediately shut up.

Director Lu also spoke up: "Well, the best thing I have done in all these years as a director is to find Director Tan Yue to help us make a promotional film."

Director Lu paused and continued.

"But I didn't expect that Director Tan Yue was so amazing. The movies he made were so good. Not only did they do well at the box office, they also boosted our development and expanded our influence."

Director Lu said this sincerely, and his heart was full of admiration for Tan Yue.

Today, the Sichuan Panda Breeding Base has benefited greatly.

Director Lu also said: "In the past, we relied on subsidies from the province, but this year we are not only self-sufficient, but also have a large surplus."

After saying this, Director Lu's eyes flashed with a hint of solemnity, and he looked at the head of the ticketing department.

"You said there are so many tourists that even if there are ten times as many tickets, they can still be sold out?"

The head of the ticketing department hesitated after hearing this, but still said, "Yes, there are too many tourists coming every day, and there are not enough tickets to sell!"

Director Lu pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, let's expand it and use the surplus funds to expand the base. I will write a report right away!"

When Director Lu said this, everyone was shocked.

You know, there are a lot of tourists now, thanks to the movie "Kung Fu Panda", which is currently very popular.

They expanded the tour a bit which is understandable.

But if we expand the entire base, it will be very time-consuming.

It is very likely that by the time their base is expanded, the heat will have passed.

By then, you will have wasted money and it will not have any effect.

If this is the case, Director Lu will be held responsible.

"Director Lu, please think twice!"

"That's right, Director Lu, this is no small matter!"

Everyone tried to persuade him, and Section Chief Li also said, "Director, don't make a decision on such an important matter lightly. Let's hold a meeting to study it!"

Director Lu listened to these people's persuasion with a hesitant expression.

"Dismiss, I'll study it further!"

Director Lu returned to his office alone, still thinking about these things.

"There is obviously a good opportunity, but why am I still hesitating? It's such a waste of Director Tan Yue's movie!" Director Lu said in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, Director Lu had an idea.

Why not seek the opinion of Director Tan Yue on this matter?
He must have a transcendent vision to have developed Brilliant Entertainment to this point.

Director Lu picked up the phone and contacted Tan Yue directly.

Because of the cooperation between the two parties, Tan Yue gave Director Lu a number.

"Hello, is this Director Lu? Why did you think of calling me?" Tan Yue's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Director Lu quickly said, "Director Tan Yue, congratulations on your movie's success!"

Director Lu was quite polite.

Tan Yue also responded with a smile: "Director Lu called to talk about this?"

Director Lu continued, "I am here to express my gratitude. You don't know that our panda breeding base is now flooded with tourists and there are not enough tickets to sell!"

Tan Yue was also very happy and said, "Congratulations to you, pandas are indeed worthy of people's love."

Director Lu hesitated for a while, then began to ask his question.

"Director Tan Yue, what do you think? Do you think our base needs to be expanded?"

Tan Yue was also a little surprised when he heard Director Lu's question.

He didn't expect that Director Lu would have such an idea.

This is a good thing.

Tan Yue did not hesitate and replied directly to Director Lu.

"Let me say that I would definitely recommend that the base be expanded. This is a good thing anyway."

"What if the popularity wears off and the number of tourists decreases?" Director Lu expressed his concerns.

Upon hearing this, Tan Yue laughed.

"There's no need to worry about this. This is just the beginning. Kung Fu Panda has never been just a movie, but a series!"

After hearing what Tan Yue said, Director Lu felt relieved.
