132 [Crazy (5)]
It’s still the Lumiere Cinema.
The cinema is located in a large commercial plaza in Yanjing. There are many people who come here to have a big meal, so the place becomes more and more lively at night.
Xinfeng is the ticket seller of this cinema.
Perhaps because office workers have Saturday off, his workload today is several times that of usual days.
"A piece of "Black Cloud"."
"A ticket for Dark Clouds."
"Two tickets for "Black Cloud", thank you."
"Give me three movie tickets for "Dynasty Warriors"."
Then the customers handed over the money, and Xinfeng skillfully handed over the tickets to make change. As expected, the best-selling movie tickets today were "Black Cloud" by the new generation director Wang Ming and the movie that was said to have a good production scale.
"Dynasty Warriors".
Time is spent in busyness.
The hands point to seven o'clock, there are more and more viewers in the cinema, and Xinfeng has finally reached its peak of busyness.
"Two copies of Crazy Stone."
"Give me three copies of Crazy Stone."
"Brother, get me five copies of "Crazy Stone". The popcorn here is hot, right? There are a lot of us..."
Xinfeng didn't notice it at first.
However, as eight o'clock approached, Xinfeng finally realized that the number of people buying tickets for "Crazy Stone" seemed to be increasing, and the rate was a bit alarming...
what happened?
Xinfeng clearly remembers that during the first premiere of this movie in the afternoon, there were not many people buying tickets, because most of the audience came to the cinema for "Black Cloud" or "Dynasty Warriors".
But what is the situation now?
Xinfeng also knows a bit about "Crazy Stone".
TV series director Luo Yuan's first venture into the film industry, a low-budget comedy film, probably premiered this afternoon. Not many people bought tickets at that time, so Xinfeng didn't pay much attention to it.
Not only Xinfeng doesn't care.
In fact, the entire theater chain doesn't care about this movie, otherwise they wouldn't have only two screenings for this movie on the first day...
"A picture of Crazy Stone."
A customer interrupted Xinfeng's contemplation. Xinfeng nodded and was about to hand over the ticket, but his eyes narrowed slightly in front of the monitor: "I'm sorry, this "Crazy Stone" has been sold out..."
"Sold out?"
The customer's expression was a bit annoyed.
Xinfengdao: "You can buy "Black Cloud" or "Dynasty Warriors". These two movies are very exciting..."
"How come you guys have such a long queue?"
The customer complained and muttered, and then said: "Then give me a copy of "Black Cloud"."
Xinfeng handed the ticket to the other party.
Then, several customers wanted to buy movie tickets for "Crazy Stone", but they all came away disappointed.
"It's actually sold out."
"I also want to see the funny movie Xiao Huang mentioned and how wonderful it is..."
"There are too few films scheduled."
"Let's book tickets for tomorrow online tonight. The more I can't buy tickets, the more I want to watch it..."
There were whispers from customers.
Xinfeng's heart skipped a beat. As a senior movie ticket seller, he deeply understood what this situation meant.
"Give me two copies of Crazy Stone."
My thinking was interrupted again. This time there were two customers, a man and a woman, both wearing masks.
"Sorry, "Crazy Stone" is sold out."
Xinfeng could only apologize again. This was the first time he had apologized for the lack of tickets for "Crazy Stone".
"No tickets?"
Woman wearing mask frowns.
The man on the side looked at him and said, "If I make a call, I should be able to get the cinema to make arrangements."
The woman nodded.
Xinfeng was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at the two people in front of him. The woman should be in her forties, and her face could not be seen clearly while wearing a mask, while the man was relatively much younger...
"Two, two!"
A few minutes after the man finished the phone call, Xinfeng was shocked because he saw the owner of the cinema who had never seen the dragon come over in person: "We have made arrangements for you two, there are still a few seats left!
"
"Thank you."
The woman spoke.
The cinema owner smiled and said: "It's okay, it's our cinema's honor for you two to come to our cinema!"
"Then we go in."
The woman nodded and left with the man.
The stunned Xinfeng couldn't help but ask: "Boss, who are these two..."
After saying this, Xinfeng regretted it.
How big of a figure is his boss? How can he talk to him casually? He even wants to slap himself twice, don't be criticized by his boss for this matter.
"You didn't recognize it?"
What Xinfeng didn't expect was that the boss seemed to be in a good mood and even talked to him: "That man is Wang Ming, and that woman is..."
A bright light flashed in my mind!
Xinfeng blurted out: "It's Jiang Yu!"
The boss hissed: "Keep your voice down. These two people came here in a low-key manner. I don't know if they want the outside world to know, so don't tell anyone about it yet."
"understand!"
Xinfeng nodded repeatedly, but felt a little shocked in his heart!
Forget about Wang Ming, one of the representative directors of the Mesozoic era, I didn’t expect that even Jiang Yu would come to watch the movie in person!
Who is Jiang Yu?
One of the top directors in China!
There is a big boss who has a stake in Qianyu Media. Even a man like Wang Ming has to consider himself a junior in front of him. How could she be interested in "Crazy Stone"?
"This Crazy Stone."
The boss glanced at the screen: "Are the tickets sold out?"
Xinfeng nodded repeatedly: "This movie may be a hit. Although the first show did not perform well at the box office, there were too many viewers who bought tickets for the second show..."
"I see."
The boss's eyes were thoughtful.
On the other side, Jiang Yu entered the cinema and said, "I asked you to watch "Crazy Stone" with me. Are you unhappy?"
"That's not the case."
Wang Ming smiled freely: "I also want to see the level of the director that Master Jiang has always admired."
"I didn't care at first."
Jiang Yu took off her mask. The lights in the cinema were very dark. No one noticed that she, the top domestic director, was sitting in a certain seat: "It was an old friend of mine who tried to emphasize this young man to me, so I couldn't help but be curious and watched.
His works.”
"Old friend?"
"That old guy Wen Luping."
Jiang Yu said, slightly raising the corners of her mouth: "Speaking of which, you are also from our Jinghua University. Luo Yuan should be considered your junior brother, right?"
Wang Ming nodded.
In a sense, the Chinese film industry also has factions. Based on major film and television academies and localities, there is a certain degree of competition between them.
Of course, this kind of competition is not obvious.
Only at critical moments will the opposition between factions become apparent, and a director with insufficient status and strength, even if he is from a certain faction, will not be able to integrate into it and be regarded as a member of that faction.
"The movie has started."
Chapter completed!
