"Brothers, I'll be leaving in half an hour …"
Qi Haoyun's fingers flew as he tapped on the keyboard and said in the QQ group: "Let's meet at the cinema!"
As soon as his message was sent, a large number of responses immediately emerged in the group.
"I'm already on the way!"
"Haha, I'm also in a taxi, but Huainan Road is very congested now. The road is very difficult to walk on."
"Hehe, I'm taking my girlfriend to watch" A Chinese Ghost Story "tonight. Are you jealous?"
"What's there to be jealous about? I'll take two!"
"What the hell, you guys are beasts. I haven't even eaten yet, and you're all going out?"
"I'm also ready to leave. I can finally see Brother Haozi."
"Then you have to be prepared to vomit …"
Although he was ridiculed by the group members, Qi Hao was not angry at all. He laughed and said, "Get lost!"
Qi Hao is a member of Jinling Lu Chen's fan club. Because of his online name, his seniority and easy-going temperament, everyone affectionately calls him Brother Haozi.
Qi Hao is one of Lu Chen's earliest fans. When Lu Chen opened the live broadcast of [Starlight Show], he was one of the audience and rewarded Lu Chen with a lot of stars.
Later, when Lu Chen fell out with [Starlight Show], Qi Hao followed him to [Whale TV]. He likes Lu Chen's music very much and can be said to be a hardcore fan of Lu Chen.
The most important thing is that Qi Hao once studied music and can be regarded as half a professional. He often comments on Lu Chen's songs in forums, Tieba, and QQ groups. His analysis is reasonable and interesting. Because he also has a lot of fans, he has a high prestige in the fan club.
Although Qi Hao did not hold any position in Jinling Lu Chen's fan club, his appeal in the fan club of 5,000 people is very strong. Tonight's movie booking activity was initiated by him and received strong support from the group members.
A few days ago, Qi Hao had made a suggestion in the group. Everyone should pool their funds and book a large theater to watch "A Chinese Ghost Story" on the day of its premiere as a form of support for Lu Chen.
As soon as he made this suggestion, the group members responded like a tide, expressing that there were countless people who wanted to participate.
Moreover, the fundraising was completed in a very short period of time.
Then, Qi Hao contacted a large local cinema and booked a hall that could accommodate 700 people. But even so, there were still many group members who did not make it in time, or even if they made it in time, they could not get a place.
Many of the group members had prepared two copies at that time, and they had brought their boyfriends or girlfriends to watch it together. Thus, the quota was occupied. With too many monks and not enough porridge, those who wanted to join in the fun were very dissatisfied and caused a ruckus in the group.
In desperation, Qi Hao had to crowdfund again and booked the other two movie halls of the same cinema at the same time. However, it still couldn't satisfy everyone's needs.
However, there was no other way. This was because the theater only had so many screenings for "A Chinese Ghost Story". In order to meet the needs of the booking, the time was specially adjusted. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the three movie halls would not play a new film with a low screening rate at the same time.
The screening of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the three major cinemas in the country had been announced on the official blog a few days ago. The average was 15.75%, which was already very good.
As one of the films supported by the China-Hong Kong New Films, "A Chinese Ghost Story" enjoyed a 10% basic screening guarantee in the first week of the domestic cinemas, but they could not guarantee a specific time and a higher screening rate.
The 5.75% was the result of Chenfei Media's efforts. In addition to the public relations of the cinemas, publicity was also indispensable. Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er's connections in the circle also played a role, so the schedule was not too bad.
It was also because of the strong performance of "Decisive Battle of Vulcan" that seriously squeezed the market space of "A Chinese Ghost Story". If "A Chinese Ghost Story" did not perform well, then the screening rate would drop at any time.
Cinemas and cinemas were very realistic. The most important factor that affected their screening was the box office. Since "Decisive Battle of Vulcan" was released on March 20th, it had been nearly two weeks and the box office had exceeded 800 million yuan.
In the absence of strong competitors, this Hollywood blockbuster's screening rate in cinemas remained high. It was said that the American Superstar Pictures intended to apply to the SARFT for an extension to further increase the box office results.
Although there were very few Hollywood blockbusters that received the extension treatment, the chances of "Decisive Battle of Vulcan" succeeding were very small. This fully showed the current situation of this Hollywood blockbuster in the domestic film market.
The more popular "Decisive Battle of Vulcan" was, the greater the pressure on "A Chinese Ghost Story" that was released today!
Qi Hao, who had been paying attention to the blog, knew this very well.
He had also participated in the war of words with the film critic, Wang Xiaoxu. Although he had confidence in Lu Chen, he did not think that Wang Xiaoxu's analysis was reasonable.
However, this did not shake Qi Hao's support for Lu Chen. The fact that he had come forward to organize this screening was a manifestation of this support!
Qi Hao, who lived alone, had his dinner at a small restaurant outside. After eating, he rushed to the cinema.
The cinema that the fan support group had booked belonged to the Guangying cinema chain. It was located in a large shopping mall and was very close to Qi Hao's rented apartment. It was a 10-minute walk away.
This Guangying cinema had been open for less than a year. The equipment and facilities were very new, and the service was quite good.
The movie tickets for the cinema had already been sent to everyone's mobile phones via QQ. After showing the cinema staff the ID of the movie ticket and scanning it, Qi Hao received his own bucket of popcorn and a cup of coke and strode into hall 1.
The spacious hall was brightly lit, and more than half of the 700 seats were already occupied. Although the screening schedule in the cinema was very tight, and even if they booked the whole place, they wouldn't leave too much room, such a situation still stunned Qi Hao.
It should be known that there were still about 20 minutes before the first movie was broadcasted!
"Eh? Isn't this Brother Haozi? "
Just as Qi Hao was looking around for his seat, a fan who came early found him and recognized Qi Hao – Qi Hao had previously posted a photo in the QQ group.
He was relatively famous in the fan group. When the other party shouted, almost everyone turned their heads and looked over.
Qi Hao instantly became the focus of attention.
Most people had never seen Qi Hao in person, so most of their eyes were filled with strong curiosity.
This made Qi Hao feel very embarrassed. He could only smile awkwardly and wave his hand: "Hi, good evening everyone!"
The next moment, the scene exploded.
