The king of all people

Chapter 328 Transformation into a Conductor

As a producer and most of the investment comes from the co-production of Hong Kong film industry, fans and passers-by in Hong Kong naturally enjoy the benefits that are somewhat enviable in other regions.

On the first day of its release, twelve key creative personnel of the crew of "Infernal Affairs" were arranged to carry out a special promotion in four of the most prestigious cinemas in Hong Kong - turning into conductors and selling movie tickets.

The rules of this promotion are relatively simple. The actors don't need to use their seeing skills to warm up for the film, and they don't need them to shout at the passers-by at the entrance of the cinema like street girls.The only requirement is to force the protagonists to experience the work of a cinema ticket seller through their own personal charm, and sell the movie tickets in their hands as much as possible.

The purpose of the activity is twofold.First of all, Hong Kong’s local movie market is not big. At present, there are only more than 30 movie theaters in normal operation. Selecting the most representative movie theaters to carry out this highly interactive activity can improve the "Infernal Affairs" to some extent. The movie-watching popularity of "Tao" has enhanced the commercial competitiveness of this film in the fiercely competitive summer finale.

Another factor, in fact, is that the producer wants to find out whether the protagonists are really popular or not.A businessman seeks profit, and appeal is the most important thing for an actor... If someone performs well in this event, the next time the film studio invests in a new film, it will be given priority.

Li Xian, Andy Lau, and Huang Qiusheng were assigned to a group, and led by the staff to Broadway Studios, one of the largest movie theater chains in the city.Although it has been established for a long time and looks old on the outside, there are many pedestrians coming and going from the theater.

"My brother, you've become a big hit in Hong Kong these days, let me and Lao Huang order the tickets today." Andy Lau outside the scene didn't have the serious look of Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs" at all, laughing On the contrary, his attitude seems to be more approachable, which basically coincides with Li Xian's image of being a popular person in the circle.

In fact, during this period of time, Andy Lau has not heard of comparisons between himself and Li Xian on the Internet.For such a young man who is talented in acting and has excellent personality in almost every aspect, he will not feel resentful because of some one-sided words from the media and netizens.

From the bottom of his heart, Andy Lau hopes that Li Xian can really grow up.After all, the domestic film industry is not divided into families. The more outstanding young people succeed, the more they can promote the vigorous development of the film industry.

Especially, in the era when Hong Kong movies are gradually dying, if Li Xian's joining "Infernal Affairs" can bring about a wave of co-productions, it should be a matter of encouragement and celebration for filmmakers from both sides of the strait and the three regions.

Besides, Andy Lau still has a certain degree of confidence in his status and popularity in Hong Kong.Although Li Xian has gained fame with "Infernal Affairs" in the past few days, but for today's "people-friendly ticket sales event", he will not be reduced to the point of defeat, right...?
"Haha, Hua Tsai, what are you kidding! Some people, if they get a bargain, they'd better take advantage of the opportunity to be good. Others have a little color, and they really plan to open a dyeing workshop? This is Hong Kong, and the appeal is not simply equivalent to Popularity in the dot-com bubble..."

Huang Qiusheng on the side sneered with disdain.He had known Li Xian as early as the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony, and it was from that day that he became extremely dissatisfied and bored with him.This kind of resentment has accumulated more and more intensely during the filming of "Infernal Affairs" this time...

Why, a rookie who has only acted in a few plays can win the Golden Horse Best Actor?
And why, he, a young man who has not gained a firm foothold in the mainland, can step on their Hong Kong stars and get the role of the absolute male number one in "Infernal Affairs"?
Therefore, even though there are various signs that Li's popularity in Hong Kong and Taiwan is unstoppable, Huang Qiusheng still thinks that he is still an unknown little guy without the slightest fighting power.

He feels that today's event of 'turning into a conductor to sell movie tickets' is precisely the best way designed by the film crew to expose Li Xian's bubble popularity!He could already imagine that after the ticket sales officially started, no one would want to buy tickets from Li Xian for such a beautiful and beautiful scene...

"Don't bury me, Brother Hua, you look good as your king ╮(╯▽╰)╭ I don't know where you will go later, a group of fans rushed over to grab tickets." Li Xian Gently greeted Andy Lau with a few polite words, people are mutual, and the other party respects him, so naturally he will not put on airs to treat him.

As for Huang Qiusheng, who was always against him like a clown, Li Xian didn't even intend to bother to deal with him.

There is a saying that goes well, if a person is bitten by a dog, should he bite back?
Not to mention the present, even in the previous life, Li Xian has always been equally displeased with this white-eyed wolf who vents his anger from the same nostril as Hong Kong (he) Chan Du Wenze.While happily earning money from the mainland, at the same time proudly resisting the progress of the relationship between the two...

"You...! Haha, you can do it! I'll see what capital you have to be proud when the bills are issued later!" Huang Qiusheng roared angrily.After being a boss in the entertainment industry for so many years, this was the first time he encountered such a brat who dared to completely ignore him.

"You should take care of yourself more." Seeing Huang Qiusheng's angry and ridiculous look, Li Xian shrugged, and calmly said a word of condolence that made the other party tremble with anger.

……

After entering the backstage of the theater, Li Xian changed into a ticket sales uniform in the style of a waiter.Holding the 700 movie tickets sold today, which is the minimum sales limit for everyone, I followed the experienced conductors to learn sales experience.

After all, every industry has specific rules for every industry.If the method of interacting with fans at commercial performances and meetings is applied here, there will probably be some embarrassing jokes...

Although Li Xian knew very well that he had become acquainted in Hong Kong these few days, he would not be as proud as Huang Qiusheng to the point of arrogance.A few days ago, the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" only opened a total of more than 1000 movie viewing quotas. Except for these people, his status in Hong Kong should still be at the level of knowing his name but not knowing his identity...

Today, Broadway Studios has arranged a total of 7 screenings for "Infernal Affairs", and the upper limit of the number of people that can be accommodated in one exhibition hall is 150 people.In fact, today's event clearance criteria are not strict, so the competition is the number of times which actor goes backstage to ask for extra movie tickets.

Whoever asks for more times proves that he has sold more tickets.With such a virtuous circle, it can almost be considered that his appeal is relatively superior...
