Chapter 1520: I didn’t eat the mutton but got into trouble
After a long time of appeasing the sponsors who had already bought tickets to enter the venue, without any unexpected incident, the rest of the people outside the venue could be appeased.
Zhou Zhi switched the microphone to the off-site broadcast line again: "Due to the flight delay, the LD of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" has not yet been shipped, so the first movie can only be postponed. It is recommended that you don't buy tickets yet. Students don’t have to wait any longer, or make other plans first, and come back in two hours to check on the situation.”
After announcing this, the time was almost up, Zhou Zhi began to fill in several LD machines. Video discs, as a result of this premiere, made money and turned into losses.
This film and television city has actually made enough money for Zhou Zhi a long time ago. It initially spent a total of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. Because the film sources arranged by Zhao Xing and Zhou Zhi were very high-quality and timely, the attendance rate of several halls was very high. It's quite good, with a monthly box office of more than 30,000 yuan.
In addition, the income from popcorn and drinks is almost equal to the same. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily income. The cost was basically recovered in the first semester. From then on, it is pure profit until now.
Coupled with the game arcade upstairs, this film and television game city has now earned nearly one million for Zhou Zhi and Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing even complained about why the country gave college students a holiday, resulting in one person every year The "non-business" period of the quarter makes us lose money just thinking about it.
The first time Zhou Zhi heard this argument he couldn't stop laughing. This monkey is probably the only college student in the country who doesn't want to take a vacation.
Back in the small private room, everyone had heard the broadcast just now, but their mentality was different from that of outsiders. Instead, they expressed concern and asked, "Is your elbow okay?"
"It's okay." Zhou Zhi said: "Now the flight has taken off, and the terminal has agreed to let us pick up the goods at the airport so that we can get the disc as quickly as possible. It is estimated that there are still two to two and a half hours. It should be ready for screening.”
"It seems that many schools have put out advertisements in advance. I don't know what the situation is like now." Liang Hong remembered that the sports hall's broadcasting hall also put out advertisements in advance last week: "The students in your school are still elegant, and the students in our school are still very polite." It’s not that easy to talk to.”
Zhou Zhi felt like he was sweating in his vest. How outrageous are the students in the Physical Education Institute?
"How about we watch a movie too." Guan Tingting suggested. Listening to music all the time inevitably means chatting with each other. When this happens, the more we talk, the more nervous we become. It is better to watch a movie.
1994 was a terrible year for movies. The quality of the films produced both at home and abroad were of extremely high quality. Overseas films included "The Shawshank Redemption", "Forrest Gump" and "The Gas Years". , "This Killer Isn't Too Cold", etc.
In China, there are "Alive" and "Sunny Days", which Zhou Zhi considers to be the pinnacle of domestic films; in Hong Kong and Taiwan there are "Ashes of Time", "Chungking Express", "New Love", etc. First, it is a masterpiece that is both well-received and a hit.
But among so many blockbusters, Jesse Cheng has also carved his own path. With "Drunken Master 2" and "Twelve Zodiac Signs", Zhou Xingxing's "Domestic Zero-Ling Paint" and "Nine-grade Sesame Official" have all been in the limelight. Robbed.
"Westward Journey" hasn't come out yet, but even if it comes out, there won't be any big buzz. This film has great stamina and is popular among mainland movie fans. This year, it is better than "Women". "Forty" and "Eating Men and Women" are both bad.
Because the purpose of today is "Twelve Zodiac Signs", Zhou Zhi took "Drunken Master 2" and "Red Zone" to appease the students in several other screening halls. Fortunately, there is no shortage of blockbusters. Zhou Zhi simply chose the equally exciting "Speed" and the extremely funny "Dumb and Dumber".
Sure enough, attracted by the plot of the movie, everyone's attention was quickly diverted. Zhou Zhi felt that Guan Tingting, the little girl next door, had really grown up just watching her.
Knowing how to control the emotions of everyone in the venue in clever ways may be the basic skill of being a star... After playing "Speed of Life and Death", Zhou Zhi's pager rang, but when he saw the text message, he It was left by Zhao Xing: "We have received the goods and are on our way back. We will arrive at half past nine."
Zhou Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he really couldn't get it tonight, he was afraid that it would be hard to explain to the students who had bought the tickets to watch it all night for free.
Looking at the time, there was still more than half an hour left. Zhao Xing was planning to let Niu Er drive fast. After thinking about it, he called his eldest brother. In order to facilitate contact, the phone number was given to Niu Er took it away.
When the call was connected, Zhao Xing's excited voice came over: "Elbow, we got the film, and we are rushing to school now! Are you okay there?!"
" Fortunately, he was comforted in time and nothing serious happened. "Zhou Zhi pretended to be relaxed in his words: "Now that the second movie has been shown to them, you don't have to rush back. Let Brother Niu drive slowly. You can come back in an hour, and you can just watch the second movie. Finish playing.”
"I am impatient this time." Zhao Xing began to reflect on himself: "You came back last week and said that the sports center's advertisements were out, so I wanted to join in the fun, but I didn't eat the mutton and got into trouble. Sao.”
“Brother, don’t talk about second brother, You and I are pretty much the same." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh when he recalled the flirtatious tricks he and Zhao Xing had: "I was very excited when you said you were going to have a premiere, but in fact, I can make a lot of money just by releasing the movie after the source is available. One penny, we are doing this purely to make a profit We lost all our money. When Brother Niu told us, we made fun of him for not having an ideal, but now he almost made a big purchase for his ideal.”
“We’ll talk about it when we get back,” Zhao Xing couldn’t help laughing on the other end of the phone. : "Anyway, don't be the first to deal with trouble in the future. I'm just a money-making machine. My ideals are not in line with my natural horoscope. I will definitely not do this next time..."
Although the words were said easily, Zhou Zhi still couldn't suppress the nervousness in his heart and simply walked out. After entering the movie theater, I ran to the front desk to get some air.
Several senior brothers and sisters recruited by the school came over. Although they didn’t know that Zhou Zhi was the boss, they also knew that Zhou Zhi had an inseparable relationship with the boss Zhao Xing and the manager Niu Erge, and they knew that they both When he is away, Zhou Zhi can take charge of everything. At this time, he also inquires about the situation with concern.
Zhou Zhi poured himself a glass of iced pickled plum juice, took two sips and then whispered: "It's okay, the film has been taken out from the airport and will be here in a moment."
"My classmate called just now I said that there was a big fuss in the movie theater over there in the Sports Center, and even 110 was out. It's moving." A senior said to Zhou Zhi quietly: "He was afraid that it would be the same here, so he called specifically to ask about the situation."
"Is it serious?" Zhou Zhi was also shocked. The words actually came true. It seems that college students who are engaged in sports are really full of energy.
“Anyway, we took seven or eight to the police station.” The senior sister was a little scared when she said: “Fortunately, Brother Niu was so generous that he asked you to show the film for free to everyone who entered the venue, otherwise so many people would have made a fuss. It’s really scary.”
Indeed, it was full today, with fifty people in one hall. If there really was a commotion, there would be more than two hundred people making trouble. With the crowd gathered outside the film and television hall at that time, it would definitely be a disaster. Big deal.
