Chapter 526 Lottery
"Some theaters have agreed to cooperate with us," Yuna frowned slightly and continued, "but the Imperial National Theater refused to cooperate with us. They felt that our film was not a traditional drama and did not conform to their usual performance style."
"We are not a drama. It's their loss if they don't cooperate with us." Merlin's eyes were firm, and his tone was unquestionable. "Times have changed. If you can't keep up with the trend, you will be eliminated. I will immediately roll out the "Cinderella" movie throughout the entire Eze continent, so that everyone can see the charm of movies."
Merlin thought for a moment and continued, "We will give the theaters we have agreed to cooperate with the original copy of Cinderella directly to them. As for the profit sharing, it will be in accordance with what we agreed at the beginning, and also..."
Merlin paused, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and said, "Hold a lucky draw for the movie Cinderella."
"A lucky draw?" Yuna looked at Merlin with confusion, quickly pondering the meaning behind this.
Merlin nodded and explained in detail, "You can participate in the lottery with your movie ticket. We are going to give you more prizes. For example, movie ticket vouchers, so that the audience can use the vouchers to buy tickets to watch the movie again, which can attract them to watch the movie a second or third time. Mixue Time vouchers and Elf Tea vouchers, these two beverage shops are very popular among young people, which can increase the audience's interest in the event. In addition, popcorn, ice cream and other snacks from the theater can also be used as prizes. Enjoying these snacks while watching the movie can enhance the audience's viewing experience."
Merlin paused for a moment, his eyes full of confidence, and continued, "There's something even more attractive, you can win a photo signed by the main actors Stacy and Arthur. For fans, this is a very precious thing. As for the grand prize, it will be the same dress and crystal slipper set as Cinderella, limited to 100 sets! Each set has a unique number. Cinderella is so popular, these grand prizes will be treasures with great collection value in the future if they are managed well."
After hearing this, Yuna was shocked and admired Merlin's business acumen.
However, she still had some doubts and asked hesitantly, "Can something like the final grand prize really qualify as a collectible?"
Merlin smiled and said to Yuna, "Don't underestimate fans. Their spending power is beyond your imagination. Fans' enthusiasm for idol-related and movie-related treasures is enough to create amazing value."
Outside the cinema in the Arcane City, the lottery is in full swing.
The lottery venue was packed with people, who were holding their movie tickets tightly in their hands, their eyes full of anticipation.
A young man shouted excitedly: "I won a movie ticket voucher! Now I can watch Cinderella again. I never get tired of watching this movie no matter how many times I watch it!"
"Oh my God! I actually won Stacy's autographed photo!" A young girl was so excited that her voice changed. She held the autographed photo carefully in both hands, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world.
Her eyes were sparkling with excitement and fans immediately gathered around her, casting envious glances at her and exclaiming in admiration.
At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly broke out from the crowd.
"Someone has won the grand prize!"
The news spread quickly among the crowd, and everyone rushed towards the source of the sound.
I saw a little girl standing there, holding a raffle ticket in her hand, with a look of disbelief on her face.
Her mother was also stunned, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
When the staff carefully brought out Cinderella's dress and crystal shoe set numbered 001, everyone around was attracted by the exquisite costumes. The dress is like the twinkling stars in the night sky, and the delicate patterns embroidered on the blue skirt look like a flowing galaxy; the crystal shoes reflect colorful light in the sun, and every cut surface shines with a dreamy glow.
"This is so beautiful!"
"It's exactly like in the movie!"
People exclaimed in admiration, staring at the dress and crystal shoes, their eyes full of envy and yearning.
The little girl and her mother were completely stunned. They never thought that they would be able to win the first set out of the 100 ultimate prizes.
Just then, a noble was pushed out by his excited wife.
The nobleman cleared his throat and politely asked the little girl and her mother, "Excuse me, would you consider selling this dress? My wife really likes it."
The little girl and her mother were delighted to keep it as a souvenir, but when they heard the number the noble said next, they were so shocked that they were speechless.
"1,000 gold coins! As long as you agree, this dress will be ours."
1,000 gold coins is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for the little girl's ordinary family.
Even if a family works hard all their lives, they may not be able to accumulate so much wealth.
However, this is just the beginning.
Seeing someone bidding, more and more nobles and ladies could not hold back and rushed forward to buy the dress suit and crystal shoes in the little girl's hands.
The price continued to rise from 1,000 gold coins to 2,000, 3,000... The entire entrance of the cinema instantly turned into a grand auction.
"3,500 gold coins!"
"4000 gold coins!"
The bidding sounds continued one after another, and everyone was determined to win. The little girl and her mother stood in the middle, a little at a loss, but excitement and surprise gradually appeared in their eyes.
This sudden wealth made them feel like they were in a dream.
In the end, the dress and crystal shoes numbered 001 were bought by a wealthy nobleman at a high price of 6,500 gold coins.
When this number was called out, there was a burst of exclamations from all around.
The nobleman proudly took the dress and crystal shoes, while the little girl and her mother held the gold coins tightly in their hands, with happy smiles on their faces.
The news spread quickly throughout the arcane capital and soon made the headlines in Ezeol's newspapers.
Newspapers reported in detail the frenzied bidding outside the cinema and the stunning glamour of Cinderella's dress and glass slipper set.
Merlin's plan was successful. He wanted to use this method to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people of the entire Aize continent to watch the movie "Cinderella".
6,500 gold coins is definitely an astronomical figure for an ordinary family, but watching a movie of "Cinderella" only costs two silver coins.
If you actually win the dress and crystal slipper set, it would be like hitting the jackpot.
This news was like a storm, sweeping across the entire Aize continent.
