"It's right here." Zhu Zhu pulled Aunt Zhu into the crowd, "I made an agreement with the shopkeeper yesterday."
Aunt Zhu and Uncle Zhu struggled forward and barely squeezed to the front.
There were many people standing at the entrance of the cinema, watching the video playing inside through the glass, with surprised and uncertain expressions.
Aunt Zhu and her husband were also surprised when they saw the screen.
"Why is this person moving on the wall?" Uncle Zhu asked.
Someone asked, "Isn't that a box?"
Uncle Zhu: "I think it's on the wall."
Aunt Zhu looked even more surprised, because the moving person on the wall looked somewhat familiar, especially the strange clothes.
After a while, Aunt Zhu suddenly remembered that this was the girl who had eaten duck blood vermicelli at her house yesterday morning.
At this time, someone walked out from the side of the wall and everyone was shocked again.
Looking at that man, then at the moving little man on the wall, he could not help but step back.
How come these two people look exactly the same
Lu Yao came out of the ticket office and saw people looking in at the door. He immediately walked over and opened the door: "The shop is still under renovation and will open in a few days. We are hiring staff recently. Anyone interested can come in and talk in detail."
Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to talk to Lu Yao.
Zhu Zhu immediately pulled Aunt Zhu forward and shouted, "Shopkeeper's wife, please tell my parents that what I said about the work and the remuneration is true."
Lu Yao lowered his head when he heard the voice, a little surprised, "Zhu Zhu, you really came."
The people around automatically stepped back to make room.
Zhu Zhu stood in front of Lu Yao, looking a little panicked: "Didn't we agree on this yesterday? Are you looking for someone else?"
Lu Yao shook his head: "Since you are here, I will naturally invite you in. Come in and chat."
Zhu Zhu pulled Aunt Zhu and walked inside.
Aunt Zhu saw that the store was strange, and no one dared to go in. She was worried and stopped at the door: "Shopkeeper's wife, my girl said that she would work for you and get two taels of silver per month. Is it true?"
When the bystanders heard this, their eyes widened and those who were about to leave stopped.
Lu Yao glanced at the crowd and nodded, "Yes, the monthly silver is temporarily set at two taels."
The system has collected some information. The Dawu Dynasty circulated gold ingots, silver ingots, silver notes, and copper coins.
Generally, only the rich and powerful families could afford gold, and one tael of gold was equivalent to about ten taels of silver.
One tael of silver is equal to one thousand copper coins, or one hundred and fifty yuan.
The monthly income of ordinary people living in Liangjing was mostly between half a tael and one tael of silver. The maids and servants in officials' families might only have two taels of silver a month, and they had to be senior maids who were popular in the eyes of their masters.
When Aunt Zhu heard this, she realized it was true. Her hands couldn't help but tremble. "May I ask what kind of work you do?"
With such high wages, it must be some shady job.
Lu Yao also recognized Aunt Zhu, and there were many spectators nearby who were listening attentively.
She was just looking to recruit people, there was nothing to hide.
Lu Yao: "I'm going to open a cinema here, you can think of it as a theater. The store is temporarily planning to hire three clerks, a ticket seller responsible for selling tickets and collecting money, and a ticket inspector responsible for leading the guests who have bought tickets to the stage to watch the show. The job is similar to that of a waiter, mainly greeting customers. There is also a cleaner who is responsible for cleaning. Zhu Zhu and I are talking about the ticket seller, she is smart and clever, and she is suitable."
The work of a ticket seller and ticket inspector is slightly different from that of a waiter, but they are both service industries.
Lu Yao was not familiar with the customs of the Dawu Dynasty and could only give a cursory explanation based on some costume dramas he had watched as a child.
"There's no stage, how can we watch a play?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Lu Yao raised his hand and pointed inside: "See that screen? That's the stage."
On the large wide screen, a woman who looked exactly like the shopkeeper was still talking.
At this time, they finally understood that the woman was also talking about recruiting in the store, and she explained the job content and salary very clearly.
Everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Seven days later, our store will give out three free movie tickets, a total of ninety tickets. If you are interested, you can come to the front desk to get the tickets." Lu Yao struck while the iron was hot to promote the movie. Regardless of whether they could understand it or not, he invited Zhu Zhu and the other two into the store.
This thing cannot be explained at once, but they will naturally understand it after watching a few movies.
Aunt Zhu was still skeptical, but was dragged into the cinema by Zhu Zhu.
Uncle Zhu hesitated at the door for a moment and followed him in.
A man wearing a black veil turned away from the crowd, walked to the end of the street, and entered a clothing store.
Soon, a young man in green cloth came out and walked straight to "Lu Yao's Trans-Time and Space Cinema".
-
In the cinema.
Aunt Zhu and Uncle Zhu chatted with Lu Yao for a while and then left.
They were actually a little worried, but Zhu Zhu wanted to stay.
Lu Yao took them to see Zhu Zhu's workstation, which was right in front of the door and could be seen at a glance.
The two men felt relieved and decided to let Zhu Zhu do it for two days. If anything went wrong, they would ask her to go home immediately.
Lu Yao stood behind the counter and taught Zhu Zhu how to familiarize herself with the ticket sales process and system.
The cinema needs to use computers to sell tickets, and all characters have been unified into the official language of the Dawu Dynasty.
But there are also Arabic numerals and an unfamiliar cash register system, which are very difficult for Zhu Zhu who has never been exposed to such things.
Fortunately, the cash register system is relatively easy to operate and can be operated with just a mouse. There is no need to learn typing for the time being, otherwise it would be even more difficult.
Lu Yao taught very slowly, and Zhu Zhu learned very hard.
She was afraid that Lu Yao would despise her for being stupid, so she always secretly looked at Lu Yao's expression. When she found that the shopkeeper was not angry, she studied even harder.
At this time, a young man came in from the door and walked to the counter. "Boss, I heard they are hiring shop assistants here?"
The young man had long hair like black ink and handsome features. Although he was wearing a green cloth robe, he had an upright posture, elegant temperament, and an indescribable carefree air.
Lu Yao looked up, and his eyes lit up. "Well, you're here to apply?"
The young man was called Wen Jian. He claimed to be a failed scholar and lived in Qingshui Lane.
I recently want to find a way to support myself so that I can continue my studies.
Today I heard that there was a shop hiring in Song'an Street, offering high wages, so I came to ask.
Lu Yao chatted with him for a few words and then decided.
Wen Jian can read and write, has good eloquence, can do accounting, has beautiful handwriting, and looks pretty good. He is competent in ticket sales and ticket checking.
The cinema will open soon, and Lu Yao doesn't want to continue to procrastinate on these trivial matters.
When teaching Zhu Zhu, Lu Yao also asked Wen Jian to come and study together.
In this era, people who can use computers are considered scarce talents, and it is not enough to train only one.
Zhu Zhu became a little nervous after Wen Jian also started studying.
She felt that she was very stupid and could not learn no matter how many times the shopkeeper explained it.
Wen Jian also learns slowly, but much faster than her.
It only took him one day to memorize one hundred Arabic numerals, while she was still struggling with numbers below ten.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper was patient and not harsh at all, allowing her to learn slowly.
After three days of repeated practice, Zhu Zhu gradually mastered simple arithmetic and the ticketing system.
At this time, there was also news from Ji Zhixin.
Of the three films that Lu Yao was interested in, he negotiated for two, a comedy film with a martial arts background and a 16-episode low-budget costume comedy, both priced around one million.
Martial arts films have not been popular in recent years, so Lu Yao was looking for an old film that was popular in previous years.
The plot may seem a bit old-fashioned nowadays, but for the people of the Dawu Dynasty who have never been exposed to movies, it should be very bold and interesting.
Another light comedy is a short web drama that came out in the last two years, which tells the love comedy between a little city cook and a dandy prince.
Although it is a low-budget film, the props and scenery are quite sincere, and the plot is light-hearted and interesting.
The classic "Cinderella × Prince" CP combination has been verified by countless markets, and no matter how much time has passed, there are still people who love it.
Ji Zhixin not only obtained the copyright, but also found a professional post-production team.
After professional post-production work was done to delete and modify (mainly dealing with bloody and ** scenes) and optimize the images, Lu Yao added the subtitles himself.
Finally, the system performed synthetic dubbing and modified all the lines in the play into Liangjing Mandarin.
—I have learned everything. Every time I modify a dubbing, I charge a popularity value based on the service level. Electronic synthesized sound is the cheapest, and original synthesized sound is the most expensive.
Lu Yao was busy releasing movies and didn't think much about it. He just thought to himself that once the cinema was running smoothly, he would train some voice actors in Dawu Dynasty.
-
The first film to be shown in the cinema is called "The World's Number One", and after editing, the entire film is one hour and fifty-eight minutes long.
Lu Yao plans to give out three free movie tickets, which is just the right length for the movie: one in the morning and two in the afternoon.
Before the free movie tickets were distributed, trailers began playing on the large wide screen in the cinema lounge area.
The one-minute trailer is full of wonderful scenes, young and handsome actors, classic lines and the unique film setting atmosphere. It is much more attractive than the recruitment advertisement shot by Lu Yao and Ji Zhixin.
As soon as the trailer came out, the people who had only dared to look in furtively at the door in the previous two days, first stood outside and watched through the glass, then leaned on the glass to watch, and finally the bold young men simply went in and sat in the lounge area to watch.
The big screen inside is clearer.
It’s only a sixty-second scene, and you can sit and watch it for half a day without getting bored.
On the day when the free movie tickets were distributed, all ninety tickets were taken in less than ten minutes.
The movie tickets were sold out and the first movie at the Super Time and Space Cinema finally began.
The thirty guests who received tickets for the first show lined up at the door holding their tickets. Wen Jian checked the tickets at the entrance, and Lu Yao guided them at the door of the screening room.
Guests filed in and sat down according to their numbers.
The lights dimmed and the big screen in front of me lit up.
The movie starts.
