Chapter 58 Chapter 58 On the day of the screening of "Ghost Detective"...
But no matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. The publicity department of Xingtu had the experience of promoting stage plays last time, so it was easy to use media means this time.
At this time, the connections accumulated before could be used. Shengjia Cinema gave it a high screening schedule, and the high publicity of the film on the Internet also secured a good screening schedule for this film in other cinemas.
Chen Jin said with his hands on his hips, "You don't know that because of this screening schedule, I hugged my father's thigh and cried so hard. My mother could hardly bear it. Fortunately, we managed to get a 30% screening rate. However, there are several films with good reputations to be released during this period. Shengjia has given the most for this screening schedule. My father said that the attendance rate will increase in the future."
The two were sitting in the cafe next to the company. Chen Jin was still sharing the process of getting the screening schedule with his father. The main thing was that he also participated in the investment of this movie. Although it was not as generous as Lu Jiao, he also took out half of his savings to invest in this movie.
After Chen Jin finished sharing his story of clinging to his father's thigh, he calmed down, "This time, there are only three films that can compete with us, a foreign big name "Under the Galaxy", a sentimental film "The Sunshine of the Past", and a comedy film "Eat a Bowl of Spicy Hot Pot with Me", but in my opinion, the one that really stood out from us is "Under the Galaxy". The publicity was too big, with Hollywood movie stars joining, an investment of 500 million US dollars, and a series of words such as it took three years, and their special effects company is actually a rival of Jinsen!"
Lu Jiao didn't change her expression when she heard the first part, but was shocked by Chen Jin's suddenly excited tone. Fortunately, she had already drunk the coffee. She said speechlessly, "It was fine before, but what happened to Jinsen's rival?"
"Because he publicly said on the Internet that Jinsen's special effects are a bunch of shit, and the theme park he recommended is extremely difficult to play. He suspected that Harlans' mind was corrupted by money and he made the recommendation with a pinch of his nose."
"Hey," Lu Jiao just learned the news, "Let's not talk about the previous one for now, but why do you say that our Zhangjiacun Theme Park is difficult to play!"
Chen Jin was proud of it. Although he was scared in a haunted house once and was in a hurry to press the exit button after just passing the second level, the other facilities were obviously very fun!
Chen Jin took out his phone and said, "Fortunately, I refuted him on the spot." He opened the Internet and showed Lu Jiao his most popular message. "And many foreign friends also agreed with my idea, saying that Zhangjiacun Haunted House is the best in the world, and other haunted houses can't compare with it! There are more comments than that troublemaker, which must have pissed him off."
Lu Jiao took the phone from him. Just as Chen Jin wanted to sit next to her and share the Internet battle with her, he saw the man who was taking orders at the front desk.
He silently put his butt back in place.
Chi Wei and Lu Jiao were unaware of his actions. Chi Wei sat next to Lu Jiao with the dessert in his hand. He fed Lu Jiao a mouthful with his fork, then put another mouthful into his own mouth and leaned closer to the screen: "What are you looking at?"
Chen Jin drank his coffee obediently, because he knew that what Chi Wei said had nothing to do with him.
Sure enough, after Lu Jiao put her phone close to him, Chi Wei leaned his head closer, and even put his arm around Lu Jiao's waist. The two of them leaned their heads against each other and started to read gossip.
Chen Jin's non-existent black-framed glasses flashed silently. He had seen through the truth of the two people a long time ago. How could Chi Wei, who didn't care about anything, stare at gossip so intently? He was just looking for a reason to get close to Lu Jiao!
Just by looking at the expressionless face of the gossiper, he could tell that the real gossiper should be Lu Jiao, who looked like he was eating melons with great interest.
The two people, who had no idea that Chen Jin was cricketing, were watching the quarrel on their phones.
Chen Jin tagged Karen, the rival of Jinsen, the boss of Hongfei, and showed nine screenshots without saying too much, and even attached the translation.
The first two pictures were aerial views of the number of people in the park and the number of people queuing in the haunted house. Although he had seen them once, Lu Jiao was still surprised by the number of people. The tickets for Zhangjiacun Park are not expensive but not cheap either, but on average, the number of people per day can exceed 10,000, not to mention the haunted house project that has been promoted more than a hundred times.
But it is understandable if you think about it. Zhangjia Village was originally a relatively large village there. Lu Jiao invested several rounds, and with some follow-up capital, it has reached a jaw-dropping amount. Tourists have to fill their daily schedules and walk 50,000 steps to fully enjoy the project.
The park can fully handle more than 10,000 tourists.
Lu Jiao clicked on the remaining pictures, all of which were photos proving the popularity of the park. Chen Jin still felt that it was not enough, and shared a lot of videos in the comments as evidence.
The comments below were all in agreement and agreement. Occasionally, someone would complain, but they would only be kindly advised by people who had been there.
【What the blogger said was absolutely right, and there were even more people when I went there than in the picture. I happened to be at the China Office at the time and saw Harlans' recommendation, so I thought I'd give it a try. Really, everything was fun! 】
【My boyfriend said he was fearless, but after I took him to a haunted house, he burst into tears on the spot. After we came out, he hugged me and cried for ten minutes [with picture of crying boyfriend.jpg]】
【No one can walk out of this park with a smile, and it satisfies everyone who likes challenges and excitement. I dare say that this kind of haunted house is unique in the world, because it takes courage for the elderly and children to enter. 】
【No, sometimes children are much braver than us. There was a Chinese kid in the group I went to. I wanted to complain about not bringing children to play such exciting games, but I didn’t expect that the kid was not afraid at all. He put his hands in his pockets and ate lollipops and successfully led us through the level [back view of hands in pockets.jpg]】
【Yes, the only drawback is that it is opened in China. If it can be opened in our place, I will check in every day! It’s so cool! 】
【Star Chart Entertainment, this is the name, the experience is very good, every employee in it is an immersive performance, and it seems that I also caught up with the special performance of their company employees on the day I went there. There are so many handsome men and beautiful women that the camera can hardly fit. After returning, I followed their domestic Weibo account. 】
【Zhangjiacun Paradise is also very interesting in its name, and it has a very weird atmosphere. 】
【Reply: ...There is no deep meaning behind what I want to say. It is just that the surrounding villages all use the surname as their signboards, and people in China are complaining that this name is super rustic. 】
When Lu Jiao saw this comment, he was so angry that he slapped Chi Wei’s thigh: “How can it have no profound meaning? I thought about it for a long time before deciding on this name. How can it be so rustic? Everyone who has been there said it’s good!”
Chen Jin pretended not to see this and nodded in agreement, “That’s true. Although many people complained about the rustic name before it opened, after playing there the tourists said that it was a perfect name and no other name could compare to it.”
The entire park is closely related to the plaque. After coming out of the park, many tourists who passed by people with the same name couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts and quicken their pace. Some even shuddered when they met someone named Zhang. The majority of tourists with the surname Zhang protested against this. Of course, they were more immersed in the park.
Chi Wei beside him also praised the name in many ways. Lu Jiao returned the phone to Chen Jin. The amusement park is now steadily gaining popularity, and the fame of "Ghost Detective" has also risen. The amusement park is related to the plot of "Ghost Detective" but not too much is revealed, which can arouse the curiosity of a large number of people about the movie.
And Lu Jiao didn't ask for much, as long as the first wave of people walked into the theater.
-Finally,
the day of the screening of "Ghost Detective" arrived. Whether they were curious or fans of the actors or had been looking forward to it for a long time, they all bought tickets and entered the theater on the same day.
In order to support their idol, Qin Yi's fans, Jingzhou's fans organized a small offline movie-watching group to the theater. Although they had the idea of booking a theater, they looked at the large circle of theaters nearby and saw that people were buying tickets at every time period. After thinking about it, they decided to buy tickets individually.
Because there were not many people in the viewing group this time, twelve fans gathered together and chattered.
"I watched the trailer that Ghost Detective filmed for Brother. How could he be so handsome!"
"People who don't understand Brother Qin's looks are in trouble. He looks so manly when he raises his eyes. Brother Qin conquers the world."
"And the abdominal muscles exposed when bandaging the wound, I rewatched that video more than 20 times."
A group of people excitedly shared the resources and materials in their hands. The leader was the group owner of the fan group. She commanded each fan to take a photo with the promotional board and then took a photo of the number of people entering the venue, which she would use to brag to Brother later.
The twelve people sat in two rows. After entering the venue, they all shut up and muted their phones.
The group leader had just finished adjusting his phone when a young couple sat down next to him. The man said to his girlfriend affectionately, "If you encounter a scary scene, hide in my arms at any time. Don't be afraid." The
group leader couldn't help but glare at them. It was obvious that they were the audience who came here just because of the theme and name. Because "Ghost Detective" is said to be a supernatural theme, but it is more about using a supernatural background to tell a story about human nature and epic stories against this background.
The lights in the theater were turned off, and the dark big screen lit up.
The group leader quickly sat up and looked at the big screen.
The main film started with a bird's-eye view, quickly passing through the town below. There were all kinds of people in it. Ghosts and people were walking on the same street without any distinction. Occasionally, a few illusory ghosts and humans passed by.
"When will your family give you money?"
"Have your parents given you living expenses?"
The intertwined conversations between people and ghosts revealed the difference at a glance.
The group leader originally came for Qin Yi, but now he couldn't help but stare at the screen, and the couple next to him sat straighter than at the beginning.
The camera slowly moved in and fell on Qin Yi. Even the group leader who had praised Qin Yi's looks before couldn't help but think: What a sloppy homeless man!
But she didn't have much time to react and deeply understand the handsomeness of her idol under the identity of a homeless man, because the plot progressed very quickly.
The advantages of the imax screen are fully demonstrated at this moment. Every scene makes people hold their breath and concentrate, as if it really exists, but reason tells them that such a fantasy scene cannot appear in reality.
Although there are few scary shots in the whole film, the weirdness is hidden in each shot, and you can see too many scary scenes with a cursory scan.
The director's shooting technique is amazing. There are a hundred ways to shoot a supernatural movie, but he chose the most jumpy one. However, this jumpiness drags everyone present into this virtual world, allowing them to explore the adventure with the protagonist and experience scenes that are difficult to see in this life. When
it came to the wrapping scene that the group leader was looking forward to, she didn't have the extra energy to lick the screen, but was about to scream out at the danger in front of her.
The plot was so unpredictable that even the supporting characters were given their own highlights in the camera. Even though there were no scary ghosts during the prayers in the temple, the director's camera language and Qin Yi's acting skills were perfectly integrated. Qin Yi's expression changed from carelessness to vigilance and then to fear. The moment the camera turned to the statue, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The group leader even had goosebumps all over her body.
"Where is God? There are gods everywhere, and there are no gods anywhere."
The ethereal music sounded, and at this moment it became a scene that many people called God in their hearts.
The temple collapsed, ghosts invaded the human world, and all parties participated in the battle between humans and ghosts.
The group leader silently clenched her palms when she saw the final battle. Her emotions were deeply involved. Fortunately, the final ending was perfect, otherwise the group leader would really rush into the star map to send a knife to Chi Wei. When Qin Yi stood in the sun at last, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The couple next to them came in with a box of popcorn and took out a box of already cold popcorn. When they left, they were still excitedly sharing the plot inside.
"I thought it was a thriller, but it turned out to be..."
Qin Yi's fan group gathered together, and they looked at each other.
They all came for the real Qin Yi, but they ignored their idol throughout the whole process, immersed in the plot, and completely forgot about the screen licking part. This was a deep disqualification for them as fans.
Finally, everyone turned their eyes to the group leader, hoping that the group leader would remember their idol while watching the movie.
The group leader was stunned for a moment, and soon showed his authority as the group leader: "In fact, this is a good thing. It shows that my brother's acting skills are integrated with the movie. We can brag about his acting skills when we go back this time."
Of course, the main reason is that she also forgot to follow Qin Yi.
The fans suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up to the group leader's idea. At the same time, they also forgave themselves for forgetting the main action when watching the movie, and naturally discussed the plot just now.
The group leader also happily participated: "Yeah, I also think that the use of that shot is particularly good..."
