Cinemas everywhere have started a new day of business.
Today is the weekend, and some people who came to watch movies began to stand in front of the major theaters.
But the same thing happened one after another in these movie theaters.
The staff looked at the young people in front of them apologetically and said, "Sorry, everyone, the movie "Hero" has been sold out today."
Those young people were still looking forward to the video later, but when they heard it, their expressions changed.
One of the young men paying the bill obviously didn’t believe what the waiter said: “We have just arrived, and you have just opened, so how could you not have any tickets?”
The waiter Xiaofang apologized profusely: "I'm sorry, many viewers have already booked all their tickets online. We are now freeing up other films to arrange for "Hero". Can I please ask the manager for instructions?"
The boy said depressedly: "Forget it, I'll book a ticket for tomorrow."
Xiaofang said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, the tickets for this movie tomorrow have already been sold out."
When the young man heard this, he frowned and said, "What the hell? No, I don't believe it!"
He turned on his phone, and the Maoyan Movie screen actually showed that it was sold out!
"Fuck!" the man could only say unhappily: "Forget it, I won't read it anymore."
Xiaofang introduced other hotly released movies, but the young people didn't even look at them and shook their heads.
"We came here to experience Qin Shihuang's majestic appearance. If we can't see it, we have to wait for two days. You guys hurry up and schedule the movie."
Waiter Xiaofang nodded, "Okay, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience."
At this time, the manager saw this scene.
After the audience left, he immediately asked his subordinates: "Are many people planning to book performances of "Hero" today?"
"Yes, what can the manager do?" the staff member replied.
The manager thought for a while and said, "Remove a time slot for each film and give it all to "Hero". Today, the film schedule of "Hero" will be raised to the top!"
The staff nodded: "Okay, manager!"
The manager was sitting in his chair. He thought that this was the case in his cinema.
But what I didn't expect was that similar scenes appeared at the entrance of many movie theaters or online ticket booking sites.
"I want three tickets to the 4pm movie "Heroes"!"
"Sorry, the tickets for this movie have been sold out."
"Tomorrow will be fine too."
"It's sold out tomorrow too."
"Then it will be the day after tomorrow!"
"Sorry, pre-sale of tickets for the day after tomorrow has not started yet."
"??? Damn it, you are playing with me!"
"Why are there so few films scheduled! Hurry!"
Those countless netizens who wanted to see "Heroes" but couldn't buy tickets began to curse on the Internet.
I scolded the theater, scolded the staff, and scolded other movies for taking up the schedule.
Soon, this incident became a trending topic among angry netizens.
["Hero" has too few films scheduled! 】
【Can’t buy tickets!】
At this time, many theaters finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
There was no other way, so major theaters had no choice but to increase their film schedules for "Heroes" again.
What surprised them even more was that the attendance rate exceeded 90% for every game!
"It's really strange. Why did it take off for no reason?"
The manager still doesn't understand why "Hero", which was criticized so hard two days ago that it was incomprehensible, is getting better and better.
After the vice president of Dadi Film Group learned that Director Zhang's "Hero" had come back to life, he immediately called the person in charge and asked the managers of theaters in various places to comprehensively increase the filming rate of "Hero"!
He himself likes Zhang Yimou's movies very much. Now that "Hero" can make a comeback, why doesn't he make more money with such sentimental money?
The vice president told the person in charge on the phone: "Let me tell you, if I don't see "Hero" in the top three at the box office tomorrow, you can do whatever you want."
The person in charge repeatedly promised: "I will arrange it immediately, arrange it immediately."
After the vice president hung up the phone, he made a special call to Zhang Yimou.
"Teacher Zhang, your movie "Hero" is so beautiful."
After hearing this, Zhang Yimou smiled: "Actually, it's not bad, it's just that the young man acted well."
When the vice president heard this, he thought, isn't this movie full of veteran actors? Why are there still young actors?
He was suddenly shocked and instantly understood what Zhang Yimou said!
The young man Zhang Yimou was talking about was Li Yi!
Soon, all theaters began to take emergency measures to adjust their film schedule for the next day.
On this day, it was just after midnight.
Maoyan Box Office has calculated yesterday’s box office data.
"Hero" grossed 67 million at the box office and regained its glory!
"The Day After Tomorrow" has a box office of 43 million, which is already declining.
"Happiness Next Stop" had a box office of 12 million, a significant drop.
"Mermaid" has a box office of 7.1 million, which has already reached the taillights of the car.
Li Yi looked at the box office data and became happy.
He suddenly thought of his previous fan account on Douyin.
Li Yi's "Those Years" short video has exceeded one million views on Douyin, and he is now a top Douyin traffic anchor.
He decided to channel traffic for "Hero" again!
So, he turned on the video and started recording.
"Hello, hello, everyone, I'm Li Yi. I just finished filming for a day today. I'm a little tired. But thinking that it's been a long time since I came to Douyin to post a video, I decided to sing a song."
"A lamp of separation and sorrow stands alone at the window
I'm pretending behind the door that you haven't left yet
It’s like revisiting an old place with a full moon, and it’s even more lonely
The candlelight that wakes me up in the middle of the night cannot bear to criticize me."
A faint voice was recorded on the phone, and it was coming to an end.
Before ending, Li Yi once again said: "I hope everyone will go to see my newly released movie, "Hero". If you are a brother, you can come see me if you are a sister!"
Click!
release!
Li Yi immediately threw the phone aside and fell asleep.
He didn't know that this video was viewed, liked and commented on all of a sudden.
It was shared by countless people in no time.
Fans and netizens in Douyin left messages one after another.
“I’ll definitely go see it next time.”
“Definitely next time!”
"Li Yi, I won't do it again! Because I've seen it, I plan to rewatch it again!"
"I've already done it three times! Scumbag!!!"
Of course these naughty fans were joking, and instead of watching it next time, they obediently listened to Li Yi and bought movie tickets for "Hero".
This completely confused the theater staff the next day.
Are they all here to watch "Heroes"?
“Manager, we don’t have enough films scheduled again!”
The manager stared: "What? We've already scheduled 33% of the films. Isn't that enough? More!"
"manager!"
The manager waved his hand: "Don't ask, just ask!"
"No, manager, I would like to take a day off."
The manager said angrily: "Excuse me, haven't you seen that the theater is busy?"
