In the cinema.
Zhou Zhihe secretly looked at the packed screening room, watching the laughter and excited screams of the audience from time to time, and his face looked a little ugly...
The deputy general manager beside him also had a worried look on his face. "Boss Zhou, are you really not going to increase the screening rate of "Dream Seekers"? Our complaint phone has been almost blown up recently, and there are more and more attacks and doubts about us on the Internet! The most important thing is that the attendance rate of Zheng Kangde's film is getting lower and lower, especially today on the weekend, which should have been the time when the flow of people was the highest, but the attendance rate was only 6%! Most of our screenings were scheduled for Zheng Kangde, and now we are suffering heavy losses..."
"What's the situation in other cinemas?" Zhou Zhihe asked in a deep voice.
"The situation at other cinemas is similar, but there is one exception..."
"Huaying?"
"Yes." The deputy manager nodded.
Zhou Zhihe smiled bitterly upon hearing this. "I heard that the day after Dream Seekers was released, Fang Jiayue raised its screening rate to 60%. This kind of courage... This Fang Jiayue... is worthy of being the 'No. 1 in China'..."
The deputy general manager also had an envious look on his face. "Huaying must have made a lot of money these days! Audiences can't see it in other theaters, but her theater has so many screenings, so they must have gone there... In fact, I went to a theater in the city center to watch it today... That popularity..."
The deputy general manager did not say the rest of the words, but Zhou Zhihe could already imagine it.
For cinemas, the money lost is not just the ticket money, but also other incidental consumption brought by the flow of customers. When added together, it is definitely not a small number.
At the same time, a cinema under Didu Huaying.
The entire cinema was packed with people, and there was even a long queue.
Because Huaying gave "Dream Seekers" the highest screening rate, all six screening halls were open even in the middle of the night, and one of them was a super-large screening hall that could accommodate 300 people.
Even in such a situation, some people could not resist the enthusiasm of customers. Many people still could not buy tickets and asked for tickets at high prices online. Even scalpers emerged...
At this moment, most people in the theater came to see "Dream Seekers", and many of them came to see it for the second, third, or even fourth time. Everyone had common topics and chatted very enthusiastically...
"I finally bought the tickets. I'm so excited! I didn't expect Huaying to have so many screenings!"
"Oh my, you guys only found out about this now! Huaying's screenings have always been very popular. I've been watching at Huaying and have recommended many people to come over!"
"We came here because we saw someone online saying that Huaying has high screening times, but it's too far from my home. But it's worth it! I would rather drive two hours to come and see my brother Xi than to see Liang Biqin's pretentious face at my doorstep!"
"Ahhh, I like Brother Xi too. Have you added Brother Xi's Weibo?"
"I've added it, but it's a pity that Brother Xi doesn't have any men's clothing photos on his Weibo, and he hasn't updated his status much recently! What a pity!"
"Everyone, work hard to get high box office, and then let Brother Xi give us men's clothing benefits!"
…
As the popularity of "Dream Chaser" grew, the main actors in the film also became famous overnight, especially the female lead. Ning Xi's Weibo was completely blown up. The comments and private messages on Weibo were filled with confessions of love and calls for Ning Xi to post photos of herself in men's clothing...
