Chapter 281

Jiahe cinema line is one of the five major cinema lines in Hong Kong and one of the two cinema lines that released farewell my concubine this time. However, Jiahe only helped in the face of Guorong. When Jiahe's manager saw that the box office of the film in the past three days was only tens of thousands, he shook his head, then called his men in and said, "don't release farewell my concubine tomorrow, and change to another profitable film!"

"It's the manager... But..." what the manager didn't expect was that his subordinates hesitated and hesitated.

"What's the problem?" the manager asked with a frown.

"There's no big problem. Recently, many people called to ask when there will be a film arrangement of farewell my concubine in our cinema. They have to choose a time to see it!" said their subordinates.

"Oh!" the manager didn't care much. No matter how bad the film is, someone will always call to ask about the release time of the film. After all, radishes and pickles have their own love.

But on second thought, the manager found that the situation seemed to be wrong. If someone just called, it wouldn't make his men hesitate.

Unless there are a lot of people on this phone.

"How many such calls have you received today?" asked the manager.

"About more than 1000..." his men said with a bitter smile.

"1000!!" the manager's voice suddenly got stuck. After a while, he asked incredulously, "are you sure? Thousands of people called to ask about the release time of the film?"

"Yes, just now the customer service department complained to me that there was too little daytime time for farewell my concubine, and it was basically in the morning or after 12 a.m., so that many visitors who called gave up watching the film and scolded us as pigs on the phone!" the subordinate said.

"Thousands of people called to ask about a movie?" the manager began to recall in his mind that the last movie was Xingye's judge of death, the last movie was Xingye's truant Weilong, and if he moved on, it was Fage's gambler.

These three films, without exception, were the box office champions of Hong Kong and Hong Kong in those years. How could thousands of people call to ask for film arrangement for such a farewell my concubine with only tens of thousands of box office?

The manager didn't know. In fact, there shouldn't be so many people calling to ask, because under normal circumstances, as long as the audience enters the cinema, they can see the film arrangement plan in recent days on the bulletin board of the cinema. There's no need to call to ask.

However, there are too few cinemas for farewell my concubine, and there are few shows. After finding two or three cinemas, the vast majority of the audience can only call the film company to inquire about the film arrangement plan of the whole cinema, which leads to a sharp increase in the number of people calling.

But this also releases a signal without exception, that is, in fact, there are still a lot of viewers who want to see farewell my concubine. Otherwise, for other films with the same results, why haven't a few people called to ask about the film arrangement?

"How many" Farewell My Concubine "were arranged in the whole theater yesterday?" the manager immediately asked, because someone said hello and said that he wanted to press "Farewell My Concubine", so the manager didn't care about the specific number of "Farewell My Concubine". Anyway, it's right to let the lower row be less.

"Yesterday, our cinema lined up 72 films in 72 cinemas!" his subordinates were shocked.

"What! 72 movies, you can have 48000 movie box office!" the manager's eyes are about to pop out. The attendance rate has exceeded 50%. What immortal movie is NIMA to achieve this fierce attendance rate.

"Go and arrange one for me now. I want to see the film myself!" the manager felt that he had to understand the charm of farewell my concubine.

Therefore, under the arrangement of the manager, the manager and several other executives in the film screening Hall of the company began to watch the film farewell my concubine for the first time.

This was three hours. After three hours, the whole audience was solemn. Everyone, including the manager, was crying uncontrollably.

"I understand why the attendance rate is so high!" the manager sighed. No one who has seen such a good film will say that he is not good. There is Guorong's performance, which is a god like acting skill. He is a straight man who can't be straight any more. He can't help but be immersed in the man's emotional world.

"This will be a famous film in history!" as a professional filmmaker, it is not difficult for the manager to make such a judgment.

So he immediately returned to his office and reported to boss Zou, Jiahe's boss, about farewell my concubine.

"Boss, I promise, this is an extremely shocking film. I strongly suggest that our cinema should arrange a large number of shows of farewell my concubine in the next few weeks!" the manager expressed his opinion directly.

"Is this film really so good?" boss Zou hesitated. His Jiahe also makes films, and 20-35 films are released every year. He is actually not welcome for mainland films to be released in Hong Kong. If he didn't have a good relationship with Guorong, his Jiahe wouldn't even give "Farewell My Concubine".

But now the following people actually take the initiative to call him to improve the number of sessions, which makes boss Zou very hesitant.

"Boss, if you let go of the release, this is definitely a film with a box office of tens of millions!" the manager finally said.

"OK, I see. Do what you mean!" boss Zou immediately made a decision. The earth has the biggest money. You can't live with anything, but don't live with money.

"I announce that from tomorrow, there will be a total of 283 cinemas under our banner. At least 10" Farewell My Concubine "will be arranged every day. At the same time, after 6:00 p.m., at least 5" Farewell My Concubine "will be arranged. Do you understand?" the manager's order was passed on, and soon it was resolutely implemented by all cinemas.

In fact, compared with the high-level cinemas, the cinemas below see the situation more clearly and clearly. After all, the operators of the academy can see which movie is overcrowded and which movie is rare for the first time.

For example, in a cinema in Mongkok, they arranged for farewell my concubine to be released at 12:30 p.m. originally, they thought there might be no audience at that time, but in fact, 80% of the seats in the whole cinema were full of people.

So many people can watch movies in the early morning. This is a big scene that people in the cinema have never seen before. At the same time, these audiences don't forget to scold in the cinema and say that the cinema is a pig. Such a good movie is arranged in the early morning. It's clear that they don't want to make money.

Therefore, the cinemas below have long wanted to improve the number of sessions. If they don't take the initiative to speak, they will have to put forward their opinions.

However, fortunately, the above order is to increase the film arrangement on the fourth day. Although the above order is no less than 10 games a day, the direct operators of these cinemas have directly increased this number to more than 15 games.

The eyes of the masses are bright.
