Chapter 1521 Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve!
There is a happy scene everywhere in Xizhou.
On this night, parents build Christmas trees and prepare gifts for their children at home.
Everyone gets together to eat turkey...
Eat turkey?
An Ran really doesn't like this stuff, and the whole chicken doesn't taste very good when roasted.
Especially since Lucas did it himself. This old man in his fifties, who had never cooked for a few days in his life, would suddenly get into a mood today and call everyone to his luxurious apartment for dinner.
.
An Ran, Chu Xiaoxiao, and Fei Liwen were all used to having no food in Xiazhou. They really felt like they couldn't eat this huge turkey.
Fortunately, Lucas took a few bites of it himself and found the chicken unpalatable, so he simply ordered other takeaways.
After coming to Xizhou for so long, An Ran and others are still not used to the food in Xizhou.
Either fried or grilled, lacking effective cooking methods, the taste of the food is unimaginable.
Similar to KFC and McDonald's, it can only be eaten as a fast food.
Fortunately, what Lucas ordered this time was Xiazhou cuisine, but it was not authentic, just better than nothing.
By twelve o'clock, Lucas had been paying attention to the box office situation.
Tomato online box office statistics have begun.
Many young people will come out to play on Christmas Eve.
Xizhou has an open atmosphere, and Christmas Eve is also called Christmas Eve.
But young people have limited spending power.
Most of them will choose to watch a movie and then take the girl to play at the home of a classmate who has no adults at home.
Then good things will happen naturally.
A middle-class family in Xizhou has about $60,000 in disposable income after tax.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are relatively cheap. If you cook a meal yourself, you can get it for just a few dollars.
Of course, according to the food taste of Xizhou people, it is just about being able to be eaten.
However, service consumption in Xizhou is very expensive. A haircut starts at 20 yuan. If you go out for a similar meal, it will cost two to three hundred yuan.
If you want to get out of a big city like this, it costs about 10 yuan to watch a movie.
Except for Enron's AMR, in order to attract customers, Enron's movie theater only costs 6 yuan per movie.
This kind of cheap consumption has become the first choice for young people’s entertainment.
So the Christmas Eve box office will be quite good.
Lucas clicked on Tomato on his mobile phone and started searching.
At 12 o'clock, the pre-sale box office is on. The first place is "Men in Black 4" with a box office of 6.9 million.
The second place is "Alien Battlefield", and the third place is "Godzilla"!
As for "Scary", it actually ranked eighth.
Lucas was speechless. Is this too much?
An Ran didn't care, "What's so disappointing? As long as the movie can be released, it's just disgusting for those movie companies. I don't expect to make much money at all."
Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly said: "How about we go see a movie too?"
After coming to Xizhou for so long, she and Fei Liwen have been busy at work and have never had a good time to relax.
Just take this opportunity to watch a movie and relax.
It's a comedy movie, perfect for relaxing.
An Ran hesitated for a moment, this movie was a bit vulgar, and there were some things in it that were not suitable for children.
Chu Xiaoxiao has always been his sister. If you see it, it doesn’t seem appropriate, right?
But Lucas, an old guy, didn't care about this, "It's very good. There's nothing to do anyway, so let's go and have a look."
He was just joining in the fun.
"Okay!" What else could An Ran say.
A few people found an AMR theater, went in and bought tickets, found their seats and sat down to wait for the movie to start.
This is a small movie theater that can accommodate about eighty people.
When a few people entered, a few people were already sitting here and there.
By the time the movie was about to start, only a little over a third of the audience was seated in the entire theater.
Now on the first day of screening, the attendance rate is so bleak, I'm afraid it will be even more bleak in the future.
It is estimated that in three days, there will be less than half of the people.
I'm afraid the box office won't even reach 50 million.
Fortunately, Enron's filming of movies involves no other expenses except production fees, and the box office is half for the theater and the production company.
This is much higher than the rebates offered by other theaters.
After a few more people came in, the audience settled at less than thirty people.
Basically, they were young men and women, cuddling together, eating popcorn and potato chips, talking and laughing in low voices.
The movie started and he refused to stop. He kept whispering and seemed not to be paying attention to the movie at all.
This is another bad phenomenon.
Everyone is not paying attention. The young men and women are probably in deep love. It’s hard to say how much thought was put into the movie.
If you don't concentrate, you won't see the fun.
If you don't have fun going out, you won't be able to say good things. In addition, this movie is a bit vulgar, so you don't have to worry about the reputation.
Lucas lowered his box office expectations again, to 30 million!
If it's 30 million, even if you don't make much money, you won't lose anything.
To be honest, he had somewhat expected this result before starting. After all, Enron didn't publicize it very much, and it was clear that it didn't intend to make money.
Probably the worst among the Enron movies.
While I was thinking, the movie started.
At the beginning, someone said softly "Hey", "This house seems to be the haunted house in "The Haunted Man"?"
"It doesn't seem like it, it is!"
"Is this the so-called 'tribute'?"
In Blue Star movies, people are not yet in the habit of treating plagiarism as a "tribute".
So, no one understands what Enron’s so-called "tribute" is, and they all think it is a compliment. As for how to pay tribute, no one knows.
As a result, the house in "The Ghost Story" opens at the beginning. It is so obvious that people can see it at a glance.
"Is this guy paying homage to his own movie?"
"Maybe!"
An Ran listened to everyone's comments without taking it seriously, and watched the movie happily.
Later you will know what "tribute" means.
Neither Chu Xiaoxiao nor Fei Liwen has watched this movie.
After seeing the beginning, Fei Liwen was curious: "Why did your house appear in the movie? It was also dark and had a bit of a scary atmosphere."
Lucas trembled when he heard this. These two are very courageous.
He didn't even dare to live in that house...
The key is the prop man. He was so frightened that even now when he sees Rachel, he feels something is wrong.
These two have no scruples.
After hearing Fei Liwen's words, An Ran coughed and said vaguely: "Salute to the classic!"
Fei Liwen was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile. Is this guy trying to put money on his face?
However, "The Ghost Story" is indeed regarded as a classic among horror films. There is a gap in the head comparison, but among many shoddy horror films.
This one was even more shoddy, but it became a breath of fresh air.,
