Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty-Three Female Fans' Spicy Means
The trailer of "A Chinese Ghost Story" caused a wave of enthusiasm on the Internet. Not only did it not gradually cool down with the passage of time, but the popularity became higher and higher after the release date was confirmed!
Even with the trailer of the new movie alone, Li Yi once again set many records such as the number of times the movie trailer was played, the number of simultaneous viewers, and the number of downloads!
There is no way, even though I know that Li Yi did this on purpose, just to whet their appetite and maximize everyone's expectations and attention for the movie, he can only admit it, even though this song is really nice.
It’s over!
Therefore, before the movie is released, whether you are an art fan, a movie fan, or a music fan, you are living a life of pain and joy every day!
The pain is because they have to wait a long time to see Li Yi's new movie and hear the full version of the song, and the happiness is because there is a better hope in every day's life!!
In the blink of an eye, the release date of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is approaching!
A few days before the premiere, major theaters started pre-sales for "A Chinese Ghost Story". Tickets on the premiere day sold out the fastest and were sold out as soon as they were posted!
Magic City, in an apartment.
"Oh! Why didn't I get a ticket again? How annoying!"
The beautiful girl sitting at the computer desk, staring closely at the screen, muttered angrily and tapped the mouse heavily.
The girl's name is Betty. She has long brown hair, wheat-colored skin, and light blue eyes. She has a typical foreign appearance.
But she came to live in China with her father at a very young age. Not only did she speak standard Mandarin, but she could even speak the local dialect of Shanghai. She was passionate about Chinese culture and food. She especially liked watching Li Yi's movies, which can also be called
I am a big fan of Li Yi!
In a few days, her friend Lucy from abroad will come to play with her. This is her first time in China, and the date and time of her arrival coincide with the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story", so she plans to
I took Lucy to see the premiere of Li Yixin's movie as a way to catch the wind.
Because as far as she knows, due to various reasons, Li Yi's movies are very popular throughout Asia, and now every one of them is released simultaneously.
However, in most regions except Asia, it will either not be released at all, or even if it is released, you will have to wait a long time, and the film schedule is quite small.
For her, who has been deeply obsessed with Li Yi, this is definitely a great regret in her life, so she hopes to share and appreciate this long-awaited new work of Li Yi with Lucy, so that her best friend can also
Appreciate the charm of Chinese movies!
However, this time it was just like last time, even though I made enough preparations, I still couldn't get a ticket for the premiere day.
"Can I only buy tickets from those annoying scalpers again..." Betty said to herself, while turning on her phone to check.
Most of the movie tickets pre-sold online are bought by viewers who really want to watch the movie, and many of them are scalpers. They buy the tickets first and then sell them twice as much!
Ever since Li Yi appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he became popular all over the country and became the most popular first-line movie star in the country. Movie tickets for each of his new movies, especially those on the day of the premiere, have always been the number one target for scalpers.
!
On second-hand trading websites such as Xianyu, movie tickets on the day of the premiere of My Lover's Ghost have already been sold for more than 400!
Compared with the original price of a movie ticket, which was just over 40, it has doubled ten times!
Even so, many people will pay for it.
Of course Betty could afford scalping tickets for more than 400 yuan each. Li Yi's last movie, Journey to the West, had a premiere ticket price of more than 300 yuan, which was not much cheaper than this time. She didn't even blink an eye.
I bought a dozen of them at a time and invited some of my close classmates to watch them together.
So the money to buy tickets is not a problem for her. The problem is that buying high-priced scalped tickets is encouraging this unhealthy trend, and no matter how high the price is, the theater chain and Li Yi himself will still earn as much as they should.
In the end, it’s the scalpers who benefit!
Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable!
After thinking for a while, Betty stood up, put on her coat and shoes, opened the door and went out, preparing to try her luck at a nearby movie theater.
Each major theater chain will reserve some movie tickets for offline sales to prevent scalpers from hoarding tickets in large quantities. This is undoubtedly the only opportunity for her who does not want to buy scalper tickets.
But Betty still underestimated the popularity of Li Yi's new work. Of course, what she could think of, someone had already thought of it, and they thought even further!
Many people know that they can't beat scalpers when buying tickets online, so they wait at the entrance of major theaters early. When Betty arrives at the theater in a nearby shopping mall, there is already a long queue in front of the theater, and the queue is almost downstairs.
That floor is gone!
Looking at the endless queue in front of her, Betty was dumbfounded. Just as she gritted her teeth and prepared to wait in line for several hours to buy two premiere tickets, there was an announcement from the theater counter.
:
"I'm sorry to inform you that there are not many tickets left on the premiere day of "A Chinese Ghost Story". People in the middle and behind, please don't waste your precious time because of this. Please understand each other for the trouble this has caused."
!”
At the same time, the people in the front of the queue felt extremely lucky, while the people in the middle and behind complained:
"Damn! I should have told you earlier. I've been waiting here for more than half an hour. What a bad luck!"
"Oh, Brother Yi is so popular right now. Tickets for the premiere of his new movie are harder to grab than train tickets during the Spring Festival and the hot-ticket items that are limited to be purchased during Double Eleven!"
"Isn't that right? These theaters are real. Can't we schedule more shows, or expand the venue to get more seats? If not, we can sell standing tickets!"
"The idea is good, but standing tickets are unrealistic and pose a huge safety risk. In the event of a fire or other disaster, if there are too many people in the theater, they will not be able to escape!"
"I originally wanted to buy one on the day of the premiere, but now it seems I can only buy one on the second or third day."
“It’s great if you can buy it, but I’m afraid all the tickets will be sold out later!”
"..."
Many people who were queuing up have left one after another after complaining a few times, but there are still many people who are still queuing up. Firstly, they have been queuing for such a long time and are not willing to leave just now. With a lucky mentality, secondly, they are planning to go first.
When the tickets for the screening were sold out, they bought them a few days later.
Betty stood at the back of the queue and stamped her feet anxiously. Could it be that this time she had to buy scalper tickets?
Just when she let out a long sigh and was about to go back, Qi Guang happened to glance aside and saw a fat man who had just bought a ticket. He was holding two tickets in his hand, his face was full of longing, and he was talking to himself.
Walk past her.
"Great! I finally bought the tickets for the premiere. Now the goddess is finally willing to go on a date with me, hey, hey, hey..."
After hearing the fat man's words, Betty's eyes suddenly lit up and she thought of a clever plan!
Then, she immediately took off her coat, pulled down the neckline of the long skirt underneath, stepped on high heels, twisted her waist, and walked quickly towards the fat man in front!!
Ten minutes later, Betty walked out of the mall with a smile on her face and brisk steps.
As she expected, the fat man couldn't resist her beauty trap and quickly handed over the ticket willingly.
Of course, Betty wouldn't let him suffer. Although the other party said that he didn't need any money and wanted to give it to her for free and just wanted to leave a WeChat ID and make friends, Betty still gave him twice the ticket price as compensation for the two tickets.
The time and effort spent.
As for how he should explain to his goddess without the ticket, it is not something Betty needs to consider!
Betty was in a good mood. After returning home, she turned on her computer and logged on to Weibo to show off that she had finally snagged a ticket. When she found that Weibo was bustling again, people were talking about "A Chinese Ghost Story" even more than before!
It turned out that during the time when she went out to buy tickets, Star Master made a rare post on Weibo, showing a selfie of himself in front of the cinema counter, holding the premiere ticket of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
He also said that he had been looking forward to this movie for a long time and waited in line for more than an hour before finally buying a ticket!
Although the star in the photo is wearing a hat and a mask, if you look closely, you can tell that it is him, and you can also see that he is in a very good mood.
Although you can't see his smile, the exposed eyes are crescent-shaped, and they are full of happy smiles, like a child!
Even Mr. Xing worked so hard to watch Li Yi's new movie. This made Betty, like everyone else, extremely surprised when she saw the news!
She knew that Mr. Xing could have asked Li Yi to send him a few tickets, or asked an assistant to help him queue up to buy them, or he could directly buy scalper tickets, which would save time and effort, and he would not have to queue up in person.
It was uncomfortable for a young man to wait in line for an hour, not to mention that Mr. Xing was already a lot older, so it would have been more difficult for him to teach, but he still did it, and the moment he got the ticket,
So happy!
Obviously, Master Xing is cheering for Li Yi!
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, no one has ever been able to make Xingye do it to this extent. Even Xingye himself joked on Weibo, saying that this was the first time that he looked forward to a movie and was so optimistic about an actor!
Star Master is also a Chinese movie star that Betty loves very much, and she has been looking forward to the future cooperation between him and Li Yi. Now that I see Master Star praising Li Yi so much, after being surprised, I am also extremely happy!
"Brother Yi's new movie has really touched the hearts of countless people. Even Mr. Xing personally went to the scene and lined up to buy tickets!"
"Not to mention the fact that Master Xing can praise him so much, there are very few actors who can get a word of praise from Master Xing. It seems that Master Xing really thinks highly of and likes Li Yi!"
"Seeing Mr. Xing so happy makes me feel good. I haven't seen Mr. Xing so happy for a long time. Even if he is wearing a mask, I can still imagine how bright his smile is!"
"Wow! Seeing that my two favorite actors have such a good relationship, I'm even more looking forward to their upcoming collaboration on the King of Comedy!"
"It must be extraordinary for Star to come to see the movie. Unfortunately, the tickets are so popular and hard to buy. Otherwise, I really want to take my family to see it on the day of the premiere. Now it seems that I can only postpone it for a few days."
The sky is gone again.”
Because of Xingye's Weibo, the popularity of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has reached a new level.
Moreover, under the leadership of Xing Ye, many actors in the industry, including Huang Bo and other first-line stars, also posted on Weibo photos of themselves buying tickets at the theater.
Of course, because of their status as celebrities, most of them wear hats or masks or other disguises to avoid being recognized.
So many people joked on Weibo, asking those who are still queuing up to buy tickets at major theaters to pay more attention to those around them, especially those dressed like this. Maybe the person in front or behind them is someone.
Here’s the big star!
As a result, I don’t know whether the stars were deliberately hyping up the show or they were just careless. Many people actually recognized them in the theater, which naturally attracted a lot of attention and related reports.
There is even a related report that is ridiculous:
Xue Ziqian, a well-known singer and Weibo joke maker, waited in line for a long time at the cinema, but when it was his turn, he ran out of tickets.
As a result, he directly pulled off his mask at the scene, revealed his true face, and ran to find those who had just
The person who bought the ticket said that he would exchange the ticket money and his autographed new album for a ticket.
Originally, this operation was quite embarrassing, but the most unexpected result was that after he asked several people in succession, they were not willing to change with him at all.
He also said that he could change if he wanted, but they didn’t want money or his autographed album. Instead, they asked him to help Li Yi get an autographed photo!!
In the end, Xue Ziqian had no choice but to agree. He left the contact information and address of one of them at the scene, saying that he would get a signed photo of Li Yi for the other person and send it to him. Then the other party handed him the movie ticket!
After this incident was posted on the Internet, many people almost laughed like crazy. In the WeChat celebrity group, Xue Ziqian was ridiculed and joked by many celebrities:
"Old Xue, I'm not telling you, you're too proud of yourself! I'm not trying to hit you, your new album sells for more than 30, Brother Yi's movie tickets sell for more than 40, plus
Your autographed BUFF is worth over 200 yuan. But Yi Ge’s premiere tickets are sold for 500 yuan, not to mention that all the people who can queue up to buy tickets are his fans, even if it is a scalper, they will not choose it.
Your album!”
"Chen He's calculation is correct. Let me add one more point. Putting aside the status of Brother Yi's autographed photos in the hearts of movie fans, in terms of value alone, they are now worth several thousand!"
"Xiao Qian, Mr. Xing is on the trending search because no one expected him to praise Xiaoyi so much. There are also some celebrities who are on the trending search because they were recognized on the scene. I won't mention whether they deliberately take advantage of Xiaoyi's popularity, but
Among so many people who have been trending because of Xiaoyi's new movie, your way of being trending is particularly different and unique!"
"Oh, I can't help it. It's already funny enough. Now that you say it, it makes me feel even funnier. My stomach hurts... Hahaha..."
"Don't mention it, how could I have imagined that this would happen! I specifically asked a young girl to ask. After all, many girls like me, but the result... alas!" Xue Ziqian laughed at himself.
"Hahahaha! I think you might as well ask a man. After all, let alone you, is there any male star in China who has as many female fans as Xiao Yi?
There’s no chance! Because many of their female fans have been sucked away by Xiaoyi, hehehe!”
...
The popularity of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is getting higher as it gets closer to its premiere.
Just like that, with all kinds of high expectations, a few days later, it was the premiere day of "A Chinese Ghost Story"!!
