The king of all people

Chapter 569
The Land of Abundance, Chengdu.

"Elder Sister, did your theater arrange for Li Xian's new movie "Death Comes" today? There are so many people waiting to see it!"

Chunxi Road, Wanda Shopping Center, Wanda Cinema.

Due to the geographical location, the traffic flow near Chunxi Wanda Cinema is almost one of the largest areas in Chengdu.This is not only a paradise for shopping in people's daily life, but also a good place for white-collar fashionistas to date and have sex.It is precisely because of this that Wanda Cinemas, which occupies a super advantageous location, accounts for 30% of Chengdu's movie box office revenue every year.

Its biggest competitor is Bona Cinemas, which is in the same shopping mall.

A few days ago, in order to enhance its own competitiveness, Wanda Cinema introduced the latest 3D movie technology vigorously and established a 3D movie projection hall including I-max giant screen.Wanda Corporation has always been quite generous in capital investment. At that time, the news of this technological innovation was spreading in the streets and alleys of Chengdu.

On February 2st, it happened to coincide with the 'Black Monday', when the student party and office workers were most troubled and talked about discoloration.Relax your mind, relax your body and carnival for two days on the weekend, but you have to return to your normal life on this day.How many people can be happy?
According to the past situation, every Monday, the business of the entertainment industry in various places will be hit to a certain extent.Movies are the third type of entertainment industry that has risen fastest in recent years. After the weekend when moviegoers are concentrated, Monday, the first working day of the whole week, has always been regarded as the "biggest box office diving period" by industry insiders.

After suffering a few losses, movie distributors who have learned to be smart seldom set the movie premiere on Monday.The same is true for February 2 this year.Even in Chengdu, a "big box office" like Chengdu, the operating status of each theater is not optimistic. Although Chunxi Wanda Cinema is the industry leader in the urban area, judging from the fresh statistics released by the staff, as of now, The number of movie viewers in the morning did not exceed 1, and the figure converted into box office is even less optimistic.

However, a film that went against the market has changed this downturn. This film is Li Xian's last work that is about to bid farewell to the entertainment industry - "Death is Coming".

"You...you are the one..." The salesperson in the ticket office who was inquiring about the film schedule information was almost annoyed by the customer's words, and thought that she still had to do business, and she couldn't be caught by the customer. It was so hard to get to the mouth' you are the aunt, and your whole family is the aunt! ' The words were swallowed back. .

And... quickly put on a face that greeted guests with a smile on the face.You know, this person seems to be the first guest she has welcomed since she took over the post today!

"Hello, welcome to Wanda Cinemas. As far as I know, the movie "Death is Coming" is arranged to be screened in the cinema today. If necessary, you can choose seats from me Tickets, I wish you a happy viewing."

While talking in an official tone, the conductor did not forget to look around the inside and outside of the ticket hall, but to her disappointment, the situation in the ticket hall was completely different from what the customer said. Didn't it mean that so many people are queuing up to see it, people?
Not to mention the crowd, including the two of them, there were no more than 10 bustling people in the ticket office!

"Really or not? Don't lie to me! If you guys have arranging for the film, why don't you even have a premiere ceremony? And you don't see any promotional posters, look, you posted on the wall Or last month's movie "Sunset Angel"!"

The guest was also full of suspicion, and looked at the eldest sister of the conductor with distrust.

It's not that he's meddlesome, it's not that he's suspicious.Today is February 2st, don't forget, in the past, as long as Li Xian's works were released, the movie theater would be inside and outside, tsk tsk, now he can recall the grand occasion where almost thousands of people were in the same alley and crowded with people !
That's not all, the movie theaters will arrange a series of promotional activities for Li Xian's films every time. After all, they all know that Li Xian's films can sell money, and if they can sell money, it means that the audience loves to watch it. In their hearts, they will naturally not be stingy to hold more promotional activities to call on more audiences to take a look.

But what about today?Stop talking about propaganda! "Death is Coming" posters are not seen in the entire ticket hall!The movie theater did not hold some special premiere activities either!Is this not ready for business?There is no sign of an upcoming blockbuster film of the year at all!
"This..." The conductor was a little helpless, she couldn't find a reason to refute this innocent customer.

I have been working in Wanda Cinemas for several years. In the past, whenever Li Xian’s new film was released, the studio would promote it with great fanfare. She still remembers that once the boss invited the mayor of CD to come over for the day. Their spontaneous premiere sits.

And this time?

The reputation of the movie "Death is Coming" can be said to be thunderous, and she has seen news about this movie on the Internet as early as a year ago.But she was just a conductor after all, this time the boss didn't order them to promote, let them put up posters, let them hold the premiere ceremony, so naturally she couldn't arrange these things on her own.

Besides, they can't blame their boss for this matter, haven't you seen the current situation in movie theaters?There are only 10 or so people in total, even if they hold a lot of moth activities, it is impossible to get up and down without guests or audience.

"Hey, the entertainment industry is so realistic! Li Xian just announced that he would quit the entertainment industry, and he didn't make any announcements for "Death is Coming". In the blink of an eye, his fans just ran away... Not even a few fans came to support his new movie on the first day of release, it's really sad..."

With a silent murmur in his heart, the conductor raised his head again without changing his face, and met the questioning gaze of the customer.

"Hello, this is not something our studios can intervene in. As you can see, the film industry is not in a good mood now, and it is in the off-season. "Death is Coming" has not shown the ability to reverse the status quo. Regarding this, we I'm very sorry. However, sir, our studio has indeed arranged for this movie, and it is in the small screening hall 1. If you are interested, you may wish to buy a ticket, and you may be able to be a private guest in that venue , enjoy a big-screen movie alone!"

As expected of a ticket salesman, he talked about this kind of thing almost in one go, without even taking a breath.But she didn't lie. Today, Wanda Cinemas has arranged a total of three screenings for "Death Comes", all of which are in the No. 1 small screening hall.So far, the first game has not sold a single...

"you sure?"

After listening to the ticket seller's explanation, instead of suddenly realizing it, the moviegoer turned into a half-smiling, half-smiling look watching a good show.

No wonder Wanda Cinemas has so abnormally few customers today!
Although Monday is the off-season for watching movies, the big boss "Death Comes" came out today!The boss of Wanda is so stupid that he only arranged three small halls for "Death Comes"...

What's even more frightening is that they still don't know it until now.

Right now, right now, the Wanda Mall at the entrance is already packed with people, right?Those people are lining up one by one, heading towards Bona Studios, where three giant "Death is Coming" posters hang at the door...

PS: I have a fever these days, sorry everyone
