Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1520: I didn’t eat the mutton but got into trouble

It took a long time to appease the sponsors who had already bought tickets to enter the venue. Nothing unexpected happened, and the rest of the people outside the venue could be appeased.

Zhou Zhi then switched the microphone to the off-site broadcast line: "Due to the flight delay, the LD of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" has not yet arrived, so the first movie can only be postponed. It is recommended that students who have not purchased tickets do not wait any longer. Or make other plans first and come back in two hours to check on the situation. ”

After the announcement, the time was almost up. Zhou Zhi began to fill several LD ​​machines with DVDs. The premiere turned money-making into money-losing.

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 quite good. The box office has exceeded 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.

Including the game room 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 a quarter of "non-operation" every year. Cycle, even thinking about it makes me panic.

Zhou Zhi couldn't stop laughing when he heard this argument for the first time. This monkey was probably the only college student in the country who didn'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 airport 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 about.”

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 meant chatting with each other. When this happened, the more we talked, the more nervous we became. It would be better to watch a movie.

1994 was a terrible year for movies. This year's excellent films at home and abroad were of extremely high quality. Overseas films included "The Shawshank Redemption", "Forrest Gump", "The Gas Years", "This Killer Isn't Too Good" Cold" etc.

In China, there are "Alive" and "Sunny Days", which Zhou Zhi considers to be the pinnacles of domestic films; in Hong Kong and Taiwan there are "Ashes of Time", "Chungking Express", and "New Love", all of which are both well-received and blockbuster hits. of masterpieces.

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 does come out, it won't create any big buzz. This film has great stamina and is popular among mainland movie fans. This year, it is better than "Women at 40" and "Diet and Drink". Both men and women are not good at it.

Because the purpose of today was "Twelve Zodiac Signs", Zhou Zhi took "Drunken Master 2" and "Red Zone" to appease the students in several other theaters. Fortunately, there was no shortage of blockbusters, so Zhou Zhi simply picked one 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 use clever methods to control the emotions of everyone in the venue may be the basic skill of being a star... After "Speed ​​of Life and Death" was played, Zhou Zhi's pager rang, and when he saw the text message, it was from Zhao Xing: "The goods have been received and we 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 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 elder brother. In order to facilitate contact, the phone was given to Niu Er to take 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, they were comforted in time and nothing serious happened." Zhou Zhi pretended to be relaxed in his words: "Now that the second film has been shown to them, you don't have to rush back. Let Brother Niu drive slowly. Just come back in an hour, just in time to watch the second part.”

"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."

"Big 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, it just depends on the source of the film. We won't make a penny less from the screenings. We just lost money just to make money. When Brother Niu told us, we made fun of him for not having ideals. Now we are almost buying a big deal for our ideals."

"We'll talk when we get back," Zhao Xing couldn't help laughing on the other end of the phone: "Anyway, I won't be the one to get into 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 spoken casually, Zhou Zhi still couldn't suppress the nervousness in his heart, so he simply walked out of the movie theater and 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 and the boss Zhao Xing and the manager Niu Er Ge had an inseparable relationship. They knew that when both of them were away, everything would be okay. Looking for Zhou Zhi to make the decision, he also inquired about the situation with concern.

Zhou Zhi poured himself a glass of iced sour plum juice, drank two sips, and then whispered: "It's okay, the film has been taken out from the airport and will be here in a moment."

"Just now my classmate called me and said that there was a big commotion in the movie theater over at the Sports Academy, and even 110 was dispatched." A senior sister quietly said to Zhou Zhi: "He was afraid that it would be the same here, so he called specifically to ask. Condition."

"Is it serious?" Zhou Zhi was also shocked. Liang Hong's words actually came true. The college student seemed to have more blood for sports.

"Anyway, I took seven or eight of them to the police station." The senior sister was a little scared when she said: "Fortunately, Brother Niu is so generous that he let you show the film for free to everyone who comes in. Otherwise, it would be really scary if so many people were making trouble."

Indeed, the hall was full today, with fifty people in one hall. If there was really going to be a commotion, around two hundred people would make trouble. Plus the crowd gathered outside the film and television hall at that time, it would definitely be a big deal if something went wrong.
