The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 172 Full house (for collection)
The audience who watched the movie "Salted Fish Resurrected" today is really very large, full of pits and valleys.The five theaters, with more than 500 seats, were all full.

The theater manager was also very proud to turn on the red light at the entrance of the theater. The four big red characters "full house" shone in the middle of the night, festive and dazzling, exuding a sense of energy.

"Pfft his mother, what kind of movie sells so well, and the midnight show is full, is there a movie with sex?" The peddler selling sugar cane at the door muttered.

"Sexy movies can't sell a lot of money. This is Hong Jingbao's kung fu movie. This fat guy has a lot of fat, but he just has to have skills." Said a fortune teller next to him.

"It doesn't matter what kind of film he makes, as long as it sells well, otherwise my small business will be difficult to do." The peddler muttered.

"So many people came in and out just now, and they said that business is difficult? Boss, don't be too greedy." The fortune teller laughed.

"Going in and out, and not buying anything, what's the use of it?" The peddler spat and said, "It's all to blame for this movie theater, who opened a store to sell popcorn, and took away all our business."

"Impossible, I heard that the popcorn he sells is still expensive. You are so cheap, how can you be robbed of the business by him?" The fortune teller wondered.

"The popcorn is freshly made, and there is a lot of butter, and when it comes out of the pot, the aroma is all over the street." The peddler said gloomily, "They also have a special popcorn bucket, unlike ours, which is just Pack it in a broken plastic bag. In terms of selling appearance and taste, it can’t compare with others, so naturally it can’t be sold.”

"Then you won't buy a set of such equipment?" The fortune teller suggested.

"The equipment is imported from foreign countries. One set costs tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. How can I afford it?" The peddler said with a bitter face, "Nowadays, he only sells melon seeds and soft drinks, so he can barely maintain it."

"A machine costs tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, my mother, this boss is really willing to spend the money." The fortune teller clicked his tongue in surprise.

"Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars is a drop in the bucket for them." The peddler sighed, "See if this building is in front of me. It is also their property. The monthly rent is hundreds of thousands."

"A rich man!" The fortune teller also exclaimed in amazement.

"Rich ass, back then, he was doing chores with me on the Shaw Brothers studio." The peddler sputtered, "At that time he had no temper, was timid, and did whatever he was asked to do. I was still with him Have eaten box lunch."

"Then you are amazing." The fortune teller smiled, "Since you have worked with him before, why don't you go to his company to find him. Since he is so rich, he can arrange a job for you at will, which is no worse than being a hawker." powerful?"

"It's not that simple. Now that he has become a billionaire, his office has been moved to the top floor, and dozens of security guards downstairs are watching. With our outfit, let alone seeing him, even the door of the building Don't go." The peddler sighed, "If you know that he will be so rich in the future, you should have curry favor with him in the first place, and now I am also the manager of a theater."

"Hey! Fate sometimes has to be there, but there is no time to force it. Boss, please be more open." The fortune teller persuaded.

"Mom!" The peddler looked up at the sky and cursed unwillingly.

……

boom!
There were bursts of laughter in the theater, which could be heard on the street.

"Listen to the laughter inside, today's movie must be good." The fortune teller said again, "Another day, buy a ticket and go in and have a look."

"Why bother, I set up a stall here every day and watch the window TV, so I know everything." The peddler said proudly.

"A TV costs 2000 yuan, and the boss is really willing to put it in the window for people to watch for free." The fortune teller said with a smile, "If it were me, I would charge five cents per person, and I could finally earn back the electricity bill. .”

"Look at your stinginess. The boss is more calculating than you." The peddler laughed and scolded, "They insert advertisements between movies. One advertisement is 100 yuan, and the advertisement is interrupted every half an hour. , 2 minutes each time. Six advertisements are broadcast within 2 minutes, and the six advertisements are 600 yuan. 24 hours a day, calculated as only twelve hours, how much do you think he will earn?"

"More than 4000?" The fortune teller exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, there are 20 cinemas like this." The peddler said again.

"More than 20 a day?" The fortune teller shouted, "Oh my God!"

"So, you know why people can get rich." The peddler sighed, "Mom, why didn't I think of such a good idea, it's more than 20 a day, it's more profitable than robbing a bank."

"If it is more than 20 a day, it is indeed more profitable than robbing a bank." The fortune teller also sighed.

"They don't just make this money. I heard that the government is going to build an underground subway, so I just pass under this building." The peddler said.

"Your brother is well-informed enough. You can know this kind of government secrets. Do you have acquaintances in the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion?" the fortune-teller asked in surprise.

"I want to have acquaintances in the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, why don't I stay on the street selling snacks in the middle of the night?" The peddler snorted and said, "I guessed it because someone was here with an instrument to detect it a few days ago."

"Maybe it's the cement road, how do you know it's the subway?" the fortune teller laughed.

"I have been calling for subway repairs for so many years, and I found someone to try to build it two years ago. Now that it is successful, it will naturally be fully rolled out. Besides, our road was renovated only last year. How can it be so frequent? It will be repaired again this year?" cried the peddler.

"It's good to build the subway, and it will be more convenient to travel in the future." The fortune teller nodded.

"The subway has been repaired, and the property prices in this neighborhood have to rise again." The peddler said, "These days, many real estate agents have taken over buildings along the entire street, and the prices have gone up. Last year, Beard Lee's shop cost 20 yuan. No one wants it, and now it has risen to 50."

"It has more than doubled?" The fortune teller asked in surprise, "Then he has made a fortune?"

"He hasn't sold it yet. If the subway is really built and the subway station is opened here, then his shop will become a prosperous shop, and it is impossible to sell it for 100 million yuan." The peddler said, " If I had known that the government would build roads here, I would have borrowed money to buy his shop last year, at least I would be a millionaire in the future.”

"I heard that the building in front of me was sold last year. How much has the property price increased now?" The fortune teller looked up at the 20-storey office building.

"It was sold for more than 1000 million last year, but now it's probably more than 3000 million." The peddler said enviously, "In one year, it's worth tens of millions. It's really easy for rich people to make money. .”

"If money is easy to come by, it is also easy to spend it. You don't have to be envious." The fortune teller shook his head and said, "A person has a fixed number of food and spending in his life. If you eat a lot now, you will have nothing to eat in the future; If you don’t have to eat now, you won’t have enough to eat in the future.”

"If that's the case, I still have some hope. I have suffered for more than 30 years, and it should be my turn to enjoy the blessings in the future." The peddler said silly.

……

The two were chatting together, and after more than an hour passed without knowing it, they heard bursts of applause from the theater.

"Hey! It seems that today's movie is really good, and the applause from the audience is so warm." The fortune teller said, "Huh?! What are you busy with?"

"You don't understand this. After the movie is over, someone will come out immediately, and my business will come." The peddler said while peeling sugarcane skin.

As soon as he finished speaking, some audience members came out of the theater.

"Today's movie is really interesting. Hong Jingbao and Mai Jia are two idiots, they are really a good couple together."

"Brilliant Cinema's comedies are good. It's really good. It's hard for him to think. He can spit out a battery in a fight. It's amazing."

"Why do I feel that this plot is a bit awkward? It's just beating someone. How could it be possible to beat the battery? It's really ridiculous."

The audience walked out while discussing, and Xu Guanwu, Mai Jia, and Hong Jingbao hid in the crowd behind, listening to the opinions of the audience.

"Boss, let's cut out the shot of spitting out the battery and reshoot it again." Hong Jingbao suggested at a loss when he heard someone criticize him.

"No, I think this plot is very good, and it feels nonsensical." Xu Guanwu laughed.
