Chapter 564 Parasites in the Cinema(1/2)
Ye Wenzhu's emotions fluctuated greatly. It was sunny just now, but now it was rainy and even a rhythm of storm.
Although there was no particularly complicated emotion on his face when he saw Chen Li.
But if you don’t care in your heart, you may also be a bit self-deception.
Seeing Lin Ping leave the kitchen, Ye Wenzhu had no choice but to follow him out.
The family quickly sat together and started eating.
During this period, everyone naturally ate a dumpling containing gold coins.
After all, the amount of gold coins is quite sufficient, and each dumpling is more than twice as big as the dumplings next to them.
Such a large size, if you deliberately avoid it, it will only seem too artificial.
In addition, the Lin family grandmother kept urging everyone to eat as soon as possible.
In the end, everyone got the best of the year.
After drinking and eating, Chen Li and her family were about to leave.
However, grandma signaled them to leave after watching the movie.
“Every household in our alley has given movie tickets.
I have some here, and I have nothing to do when I get home anyway. Why don’t we all go and watch the movie together?
I haven't been to the cinema for many years. I have never been there since my family bought a TV. I almost forgot how it feels like to watch a movie in the cinema." Grandma sent everyone a movie ticket.
Although this movie ticket is not valuable, it is just 5 cents per ticket.
Almost everyone can afford it, as long as there is a proper job.
Even students who don’t have jobs can afford to watch these movies during the Chinese New Year.
Movie tickets worth 5 cents per ticket were completely civilian tickets in this era.
Seeing grandma insisting, the whole family had to go out.
The old man also relaxed rarely and chose to accompany his wife to watch a movie.
Chen Li's family had to participate when they watched everyone go.
"After the movie is over, let them drive you back. If you don't want to go back, we have a room at home.
My sons all said they were busy, and they were so busy that they couldn't get rid of themselves.
Now our house has enough empty rooms.
At worst, I can stay at home at night." Grandma said very politely.
As everyone walked out of the alley in three jeeps.
Every household also rode their bicycles.
More than 200 people were moving towards the cinema.
Fortunately, this movie screening hall is a thousand-person hall, with enough space to accommodate so many people watching movies together.
When everyone came to the cinema, it was already crowded.
However, as soon as several jeeps stopped, a few heads suddenly popped up and came up.
"Do you want a ticket? Do you want a ticket? The price is absolutely fair, 50 cents per ticket." The visitor held a movie ticket in his hand and waved it, introducing the price to everyone.
Lin Ping never expected that there would be scalpers at this time.
And a ticket worth 5 cents is priced at 5 cents.
Although the price has increased by 10 times, this price is not considered a departure.
However, in this era, these scalpers are quite fresh.
So in this era, there are many people who resell treasury bills and foreign exchange bills.
But those people are not strictly considered scalpers of ticket sellers.
"We have votes." I don't know who said something.
However, after saying this, the scalper immediately changed his attitude.
"Do you sell your movie tickets? I will take yours for two cents each." At this time, these scalpers not only have to sell tickets, but also have to collect tickets from those with tickets.
It seems that the cost price of these scalpers is not low, and if you collect 180 tickets, you will have to spend a little more money.
Lin Ping did not take this matter seriously, but entered the cinema with his family and people in the alley.
However, when the movie was about to begin, I found that the scene was still empty, with at least 200 seats.
It was already 8:30 pm.
There were at least five or six hundred people queuing outside the cinema.
Although these tickets from the Lin family were purchased in advance, the tickets they had not been sold at this time.
This means that there are still 800 tickets left to be sold to the public.
There were five or six hundred people in line outside at this moment, and more than 200 people were controlled in the field.
Obviously, these scalpers were not sold, which eventually led to the phenomenon of vacancy on site.
This is still the case with a movie theater. If this is the case all over the country, things may become troublesome.
"These people should be in charge!" Lin Ping of course hopes that everyone can go to the theater to watch the movie after buying tickets.
However, in this era, it is difficult to buy tickets in real name.
The most fundamental reason is that the cinema does not have enough theaters, which leads to most people not being able to enter the venue.
Each movie ticket will be strictly limited to the number of scenes.
After the event expires, the movie ticket will be invalid.
When waiting for the ticket check, once it is found to be invalid, the ticket holder will naturally not be allowed to enter.
If the scalpers have a sufficient number of tickets in their hands, then the audience who want to watch this movie can only buy tickets from them.
Otherwise, you will queue up to buy tickets and wait for the next game or even the end of the game.
Because the cinema only has one screening room, you can only choose to enter the venue after an hour and a half.
If the cinema has enough screening rooms, one cinema will re-show every half hour on average.
This will reduce the queues for everyone, and everyone can freely choose the movies they like to watch.
If someone just wants to watch the movie Fantasy Forest, they must stop at the time of the movie being screened.
If you miss it, you can only wait for these 4 movies to be screened and then grab tickets during the next round of screening.
Once the next ticket grabbing fails, it means a lot of time is wasted.
During the Chinese New Year, it is impossible for everyone to waste all their holidays in the cinema.
In the end, either choose to buy high-priced tickets from scalpers, or they can only exchange for another movie, or simply give up watching the movie.
"It seems that changing the architectural pattern of all cinemas will have to hurry up and implement it." Lin Ping set a top priority for himself after the New Year.
Although the mainland market cannot supply sky-high box office records, it is enough to support everything in this industry.
However, at this moment, just as the film screening was already in its opening.
The cinema staff turned on flashlights to help the dozen people who had just come in search of seats.
Lin Ping didn't care about this kind of thing.
But just as those people sat down, a sudden conflict broke out.
"You're the ticket this morning, why can you enter the venue at this time?" What is surprising is that someone took the tickets to watch the movie that was around 8 pm.
Since the cinema only has one screening room, each event must be strictly enrolled according to the time on the ticket.
If you do not enter the ticket at the specified time.
If tens of thousands of movie tickets are sold, everyone will go to watch the movies on the weekends.
It is estimated that thousands of people will flock to the cinema at the same time, and there will definitely be big trouble.
Without affecting normal ticket sales, each ticket will be given a limited time for the session.
This way there is enough order and rules to allow the screening to proceed smoothly.
But now someone is watching the nightclub with morning tickets, and is even accidentally discovered by someone next to him.
After a quarrel, it quickly attracted the attention of more than 700 people in the audience.
Among these more than 700 people, in addition to the more than 200 people in the alley.
Everyone else buys tickets by themselves.
The hard work of queuing in this line naturally makes these people suffer.
Who would like to spend a few hours queuing up to buy tickets here during the New Year?
However, what is even more angering is that when they lined up to the ticket window, they told them that the number of sessions they wanted to see was no more tickets.
To be continued...
