At the beginning, the online ticket purchasing system was not mature enough, and theaters were reluctant to connect with it because it would disrupt the original system.

But later, due to the good cooperative relationship with IMAX and the expansion of IMAX theaters, IMDB's online ticket purchasing system cooperated with IMAX.

This allows movie fans to buy tickets online without having to call or queue up on site.

Later, the largest cinema chains in North America, such as Regal Cinemas and AMG, successively reached cooperation with the IMDB ticket purchasing system, which became one of the ticket purchasing channels for movie fans.

The real turning point was last year when Apple released the iPhone 4, ushering in the arrival of smartphones.

This year, Xigua's Android system has become the system with the highest market share in the smartphone field, and IMDB is among the pre-installed software.

More importantly, as the conflicts among Wall Street financial consortiums intensified, Gilbert Jr. was no longer polite. Watermelon Company and Banana Company cooperated with Amazon to launch online payment software.

In fact, there have been similar software before, such as PayPal, which has a wider range of applications, but its disadvantage is that the handling fees are relatively high.

Apple Pay is Apple's internal payment system, which can be used to pay for fares, order takeout, etc., but users must have an Apple phone or other terminal to use this service.

In terms of functionality and convenience, these payment systems are far less powerful than the Alipay or WeChat payment systems, which have not yet truly grown and developed.

Therefore, with the help of the excellent user base formed by Banana Company's social network, plus Watermelon Company's Android system platform, and Amazon's online shopping platform, a new online payment system was born.

More importantly, this online payment system can be made into a mobile application, so that users can complete the corresponding payment using their mobile phones.

However, the disadvantage is the lack of support from banks. When we first discussed cooperation with banks, they were not willing to do so.

But later, dozens of local banks that were not controlled by the Wall Street financial consortium began to cooperate and achieved mutually beneficial results.

For this reason, Wall Street financial consortiums also scolded private bank bosses and called them traitors of the financial industry.

Of course, it’s just because they know that Little Gilbert is behind this payment software, but they don’t know what this payment software can bring.

If they could foresee the future, they would definitely kill Little Gilbert and nip this software in the bud, even at the risk of starting a civil war again.

Because, little Gilbert is throwing away their foundation.

The impact of this payment software on IMDB's online ticket purchasing system is that you can use this software to pay for tickets online.

Of course, if that were the only reason, IMDB's ticket purchasing system wouldn't have much influence. The real killer feature is that you can choose your seat online through this ticket purchasing system.

When reaching cooperation agreements with various theaters, IMDB immediately promoted the online ticket purchase and seat selection service. Not only can you choose seats, you can also buy popcorn and cola online.

In the early stages of operation, money needs to be burned, and viewers can buy discounted movie tickets as well as products such as popcorn and cola on IMDB.

The platform will provide subsidies to theaters to ensure that they continue to make profits as before, or even earn more.

Although the platform will lose money in the short term, this will not only satisfy movie fans but also give theaters a lot of positive reviews.

Subsequently, more and more private cinemas and even some local theater chains joined the IMDB system, which also allowed the IMDB system to develop.

In IMDB's operational vision, in the future, not only can tickets for movies but also concerts, music shows, and opera performances can be purchased here.

And Gilbert Jr. had a perfect trump card in his hand, that was Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson, who is still alive, continues to maintain his throne as the world's pop king. He released a new album last year and held three concerts in China, all of which were sold out.

If tickets for Michael Jackson's concert could be purchased through IMDB, it would definitely create a huge popular effect.

However, the first person to adopt the online ticket sales model was not Michael Jackson, but Avril Lavigne. Although she was unable to attend the premiere, she came to support the roadshow in Philadelphia.

"Vivian, how was your concert in Tokyo?"

"It's great. The fans in Tokyo are very enthusiastic. Noriko even came as a guest."

Avril Lavigne exaggerated: "Oh my God, I want to write a song for my passionate fans."

With Gilbert Jr. as her back, Avril Lavigne's music creation is more self-willed. In terms of popularity, Taylor Swift, who transformed from a country singer, is more popular than her.

But Avril Lavigne's fans are more loyal, and with the support of Gilbert Jr., her development momentum is no worse than Taylor Swift.

As the older generation of divas gradually fade out, the leaders of the younger generation are only these two, and the others seem to be lacking in quality.

Of course, Taylor Swift herself does not quite agree with this statement. She believes that Avril Lavigne depends entirely on Gilbert Jr.

After the promotional tour in Philadelphia, Gilbert Jr. split the crew into small groups, with the six superheroes working in pairs to promote the film. Chris Evans, Samuel Jackson, Clark Gregg and others promoted the film locally in North America.

Mark Rumour has Latin ancestry and took Jeremy Renner, Cobie Smulders and others to promote the film in Latin America.

Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston went to Europe together to promote the film, and they happen to be brothers.

Gilbert Jr. plans to take Scarlett and Robert Downey Jr. to East Asia, Singapore, and Australia for promotion, and then return to North America to reunite with Chris Evans.

The reason why Gilbert Jr. was chosen to lead the team, and even brought along two popular star actors, Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson, is because the East Asian market is too important.

Especially in the Chinese market, "Avengers" has achieved very dazzling results.
Not to mention the nighttime box office, when the North American box office exceeded 1 million US dollars in a single day, the Chinese market also created a single-day box office record of 3440 million RMB.

This result shocked not only the North American media but also Chinese counterparts.

Although it is true that Director Gilbert is the most popular Hollywood director, and it is true that he is an old friend of the Chinese people, your support is too great!

In an interview, Zhang Guoshi, a famous Chinese director, expressed his opinion: “I think that The Avengers is a commercial blockbuster that the public loves to watch.

And our market has been expanding over the years, so it’s no surprise that The Avengers has achieved such success.”

National Master Zhang has been moving towards commercialization in recent years, but unfortunately the film "Three Shots Surprise" he shot last year was not good to watch and failed miserably at the box office.

The art film "Under the Hawthorn Tree" is good, but it pales in comparison to "The Avengers".

On Saturday, "Avengers" once again achieved great results, earning 1 million RMB in a single day. At the same time, "Avengers" earned 7309 million US dollars in North America.

The North American market is declining, but the Chinese market is rising.

If you go to the Chinese Internet and movie-related communities and websites at this time, you can see that almost everyone is discussing "The Avengers".

There is no doubt that this film, Little Gilbert, completely conquered the Chinese audience who had not seen much of the world.

The president of Disney China summed it up well. People here are stupid. Although there is not much money, there is strength in numbers. Come quickly.

On Saturday night, Gilbert Jr. took Scarlett and Avril Lavigne to watch the Western Conference Finals between the Thunder and the Dallas Mavericks in Seattle.

The first week box office data is still to be announced on the third weekend, but it is foreseeable that it will be a shocking number. (End of this chapter)
