"These little bastards!" James cursed after he couldn't see the road clearly and first collided with a young man riding an environmentally friendly motorcycle, but he finally walked to the gate of Dayue Bay cinema in Chinatown.
"So no one can recognize me!" although it's not too hot in Colombia in July, it will arouse infinite curiosity if a middle-aged man in a windbreaker, sunglasses and cap passes by on the road.
Sure enough, next to the Dayue Bay cinema, two houses have been surrounded by scaffolds, which are full of noise from various decoration. On the periphery of the scaffold, there is also a notice board of "Dayue Bay cinema expansion project", which says that the person responsible for the project is Hu.
Seeing this, James was really jealous.
However, this also makes James look forward to his task. After learning about Hu's sudden wealth, James can be sure that all his lost box office must have fallen into Hu's hands.
So James simply came to a private interview in micro clothes. We must find out the secret that this terrible old cinema can be full.
As soon as he entered the cinema, James was startled, because in this narrow waiting hall of the cinema, it was filled with people, and many people stood in the hall waiting for the beginning of the film.
Such a huge popularity, James's Metropolitan cinema, only in the pocket monster, or Titanic such a big movie premiere a few days ago.
But there are no big movies released recently. God knows why so many people came to this cinema.
"Hello, this is William. My phone number is XXXXX. I have reserved a film of" critical moment! "James whispered to the counter and got his reserved ticket.
In fact, James has seen this film, because it was released a week ago.
At this time, in James's cinema, the number of viewers who chose to watch "critical moment" was too small, and the attendance rate was less than 10%.
According to the official box office, the final global box office of this film, which was made with a full US $30 million, is likely to be only about US $12000. Judging from this data alone, it is completely a junk film.
But when James was in this hall, he found that almost everyone around him was discussing the film "critical moment". Obviously, these people came to see the critical moment.
This makes James even more incomprehensible. Normally, people who want to see a movie that has been released for a week have finished watching it. People who don't want to see it won't see it, and people who don't know whether to see it or not will instinctively refuse it after seeing the popularity and box office of the cinema.
Why does the cinema in Chinatown gather so much popularity!
Just when James was puzzled, the live bell rang, and then prompted those who watched "critical moment" at 13:25 to enter.
In the hall, more than half of the crowd immediately poured into the passage, and the three staff responsible for ticket inspection at the passage were all busy and sweating, so they let them in.
James, who was almost pushed away by the surging crowd, finally arrived at his seat smoothly. When he settled down, he found that the whole screening hall was really full of people, not even a vacant seat.
At this moment, the whole man who made James jealous was going crazy.
"Great, you can finally vote!" when James was crazy, he heard a man beside him say excitedly, and pulled something out of the front seat.
James was curious to learn. Sure enough, he turned out a card behind the seat in front of him.
"Critical moment voting card"
"DIDU International Film Festival?"
Looking at the words on it, James was in a daze. He didn't know what it was and why there were such things in the cinema.
Well, forgive our boss James. After all, more than three months have passed since the last time thousands of staff arrived. Boss James has long forgotten all about voting.
So when he saw this voting card, he was completely at a loss.
"Excuse me..." just as James was about to ask the people around him, there was an angry roar in the screening hall, "who, who stole my voting card, get out!"
The anger of the voice shocked everyone in the cinema.
"Another unlucky guy who has stolen the voting card!" the people next to him said with some sympathy and some schadenfreude.
"What's going on?" James looked at the angry and violent shouting, didn't understand what had happened, and asked the people around him.
"Hey, there are always some bad people in the world who don't want to spend money to vote honestly and are only willing to steal other people's voting cards. I've long suggested that the boss just send everyone a voting card when he lets them in, so that they will be stolen!" the person next to him explained, but James didn't understand very well.
Soon, the staff appeared. They first gave the violent audience a new voting card to appease him, and then the staff said loudly, "whoever stole the voting card, please quietly return it to the staff after the movie. There is a camera installed in the voting box, and no one can vote twice."
"If you don't want to be found by us and sent to the police station, please quietly return this voting card to us. I'm very sorry to disturb everyone to watch a movie!"
After this episode, the staff stepped down and the film was officially broadcast.
Because he had seen the film once, James was not interested in the film, but looked at the surrounding audience curiously. Then he found that the person around him didn't seem to focus on the film, but thought about his own affairs from time to time, and sometimes even scratched his hair.
"Sir, what's going on? What's going on with this voting card?" James couldn't help but wonder and asked secretly in a very small voice.
"You don't know?" the neighbor next door looked at James in surprise. "You didn't come to vote?"
"No, I just live nearby and want to see it, so I came here!"
"Then you are so lucky that you can make an appointment!" the man sighed. Then he found that several people around him looked at the two whispering people with dissatisfied eyes, so he said, "let's go to the bathroom."
"OK!" James nodded and was ready to leave.
"Wait, take your card with you, or you won't have it!" the man quickly took out the voting card that James inserted behind the seat and gave it to James. Then the two ran to the bathroom of the cinema, and then they began to talk.
