In the theater's ticketing area, fans had already lined up in a long line, waiting to see the second screening of "2012".
"Hey, Yun Huang is too much this time. He actually charged 200 yuan for the ticket."
"That's right. If I weren't his fan, I wouldn't be willing to pay. "
"Is the first screening over? Why isn't anyone coming out?"
"I don't know if this legendary 3D movie is worth 200 yuan."
"Hey, look, they're all coming out."
"Hey, brothers and sisters, how was the movie?"
A young fan with acne on his face replied, "If I didn't have something to do, I would go to your place immediately and buy a ticket to watch it again."
As soon as he finished speaking, several young people behind him suddenly rushed out of the crowd and joined the army of ticket buyers.
"Damn, is it really that good? The ticket price is 200 yuan. "
"200 yuan?" A middle-aged fan said disdainfully, "I tell you, 200 yuan is not worthy of this movie at all. If it were me, it would be at least 2,000 yuan. "
"That's right. Such a good movie only costs 200 yuan. Is Yun Huang's brain short-circuited? "
"I say, are you two invited by Yun Huang to do advertisements? What you said is too much like an advertisement."
The middle-aged fan said angrily, "I swear on my ancestors, if I'm Yun Huang's water army, my whole family will die a horrible death. I tell you, those so-called Hollywood blockbusters in the past are nothing in front of this' 2012 '. That 'Wars Against Aliens' is considered good, but the two movies can't be compared at all. "
"After watching Yun Huang's 3D version of '2012', it's as if you've experienced a world-ending catastrophe along with the movie. Can you imagine a big tsunami rushing towards you? Can you imagine a skyscraper with more than 100 floors suddenly pressing down on you? Can you imagine a magma fireball after a volcanic eruption crazily hitting you? I tell you, you'll be able to experience this in the movie later. "
When the fans who bought tickets heard his words, they were all looking forward to it.
When the stars came out of the theater, the second screening had already begun.
The reporters who had been waiting outside quickly found their targets and began to interview these big name stars.
"Teacher Ye Yongren, what do you think of '2012'?"
Ye Yongren shook his head and said, "I don't have the qualifications to evaluate this great movie. Dear reporter friends, the era of 3D movies has arrived. Since you've been waiting here for so long, I think it's better to go to the cinema and watch this movie. When you're done, you'll find that there's much more to write about in the movie than we do. "
"What score would you give '2012'?"
Ye Yongren said without thinking, "Ten percent."
"Director Wu Zixu, what do you think of '2012'?"
Wu Zixu said, "As long as the American Ministry of Health lifts the ban on 3D movies, 20 billion USD will not be a problem."
"Wow, it can't be. Isn't that a little too arrogant? "
"Director Wu has a close relationship with Yun Huang. I think he's promoting '2012'."
"20 billion USD? What kind of joke is this?"
Hearing the whispers of the reporters, Wu Zixu said, "The visual impact of 3D movies on movie fans is unparalleled. The price of 200 yuan is not worthy of its uniqueness. The era of 3D movies has arrived. In the future, movie fans will experience the charm of movies. If you ask me to give a score, I'll give it a perfect score. There's no reason for it. It's a perfect score. "
Whether it was the film critics, stars, or directors, when they gave "2012" a score, they all gave it a score of 10, which surprised the reporters.
They knew very well that no matter how high Yun Huang's status was, it was absolutely impossible for so many famous people to endorse him.
Especially those famous five-star film critics, who were famous for being mean, they didn't give face to anyone.
Even the original "War Against the Aliens" was scolded badly by them, not to mention other movies.
Surprisingly, after watching the movie, these people praised it in unison and surprisingly didn't say anything bad about "2012".
This made the reporters realize how outstanding Yun Huang's movie was. It had completely conquered them.
What kind of monster did Yun Huang make?
The reporters were eager to try it out. They all wanted to go into the theater and watch it.
On the other side, the first scene of "Resident Evil" had also ended.
In stark contrast to "2012", there were only seven or eight reporters outside. They were all paid by the theater itself. There were even fewer movie fans. There were only a little more than a hundred people in all five theaters.
Seeing the fans come out, a reporter went up and asked, "Student, do you think 'Resident Evil' is good?"
The young fan nodded and said, "It's very exciting. It's even better than 'War Against the Aliens'."
"If you were to give a score, how many points would you give it?"
"I'd give it a nine. If there were less commercial elements and more human elements, I'd even give it a ten. "
"Then do you think 'Resident Evil' can beat '2012'?"
"Of course not. I saw that there were too many people waiting in line for '2012', so I came here. Okay, I need to go buy tickets for '2012' as soon as possible. I can't talk to you anymore. "
When the reporter heard this, he was dumbfounded.
He was hired by the theater. If he put this scene on the screen, he would be burned.
"When you go back, remember to cut out the last sentence," the reporter turned and said to the cameraman.
After Xiao Yunhai sent the executives off, he received a call from Yu Hai. He wanted to talk to him in the theater's conference room.
Without even thinking, Xiao Yunhai knew that he wanted to talk to him about the 3D screen.
As expected, when he walked into the conference room, he saw that the CEOs of the major Hua Xia theaters were already sitting there. This included Zhang Yuan from Hundred Blossoms, Ren Jiwen from Stars Entertainment, Li Rongguang from Hua Xia International, and Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting from the new Hua Xia theaters.
When they saw Xiao Yunhai, they all stood up.
Zhang Yuan and Li Rongguang looked a little awkward. After all, they had banned Xiao Yunhai together before. Now, they had to ask him for a favor. Their faces were a little embarrassed.
Xiao Yunhai smiled. He didn't take what happened before to heart and said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, we didn't know each other until we fought. It doesn't matter who was right or wrong in the past. Let it go with the wind. "
Now, Hundred Blossoms Cinema and Hua Feng International were no longer in Xiao Yunhai's eyes. If he really hated them, it wouldn't be difficult for him to destroy them with his current power.
When Zhang Yuan and Li Rongguang heard Xiao Yunhai's words, they felt relieved.
Li Rongguang said, "Mr. Xiao, you're a magnanimous person. Mr. Zhang and I are really grateful."
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about offending others. The most important thing is to look forward. I think you guys asked me to come because of the 3D screen. "
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Mr. Xiao, if you were willing to let us see '2012' earlier, we would have agreed long ago. Now, it's too late for regrets."
Hu Yaoting smiled and said, "Isn't that so? Back then, Mr. Yu and I wanted to see the quality of '2012' first before deciding whether to modify it or not. Unfortunately, they kept it under wraps and didn't give us a chance. Mr. Xiao, you're really tolerant. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I gave you a chance before, but you guys didn't take it. You can't blame me for that. With the quality of '2012', I dare say that 3D movies will be popular all over the world. "
Ren Jiwen nodded and said, "We know that too. That's why we asked Mr. Yu to invite you here. Mr. Xiao, I heard that you're going to raise the cost of the screen modification to one million USD. The 3D glasses are five hundred USD. Is that true? "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "It's true. I used '2012' to open the door to 3D movies. Of course, I have to raise the price. "
Ren Jiwen said, "Mr. Xiao, can you give us a discount? This price is too expensive. We can't afford it even if we wanted to. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Dear bosses, I'm sorry, but I can't start this. Other than Yanhuang Cinema and New Hua Xia Cinema, I won't lower the price of any other cinema. "
"I can also tell you that this is the price I set for this month. But in December, it'll be another price. I'll raise it by at least twenty percent. You guys should make a decision soon. "
Xiao Yunhai's words made them smile bitterly.
The three hundred thousand USD modification cost was sold for one million USD in less than a few months. It was said that time was money, but now, it was more expensive than gold.
Yu Hai sighed and said, "I regret it. Yunhai, Yaoting, since you guys are here, I suggest that we convert the six thousand 2D screens into 3D screens. What do you think? "
Hu Yaoting nodded and said, "I agree. Our new Hua Xia Cinema has a total of eighteen thousand screens. With this six thousand and the three thousand that Yunhai rented, it'll be exactly half. Yunhai, do you agree? "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "It's fine if you guys decide. I'll say this first. Although I'm also a shareholder of the new Hua Xia Cinema, it's better for us to settle the accounts clearly. Wu Hao will be in charge of the 3D cinema. I won't interfere. "
Hu Yaoting said angrily, "Don't worry, we won't make it difficult for you."
Zhang Yuan, Ren Jiwen, and Li Rongguang saw Xiao Yunhai's attitude even towards their own cinema. They knew that it was impossible for him to lower the price, so they all opened their mouths.
Hundred Blossoms Cinema wanted two hundred and five hundred, Starlight Cinema wanted two hundred and three hundred, and Hua Feng International wanted three thousand.
As a result, just the four cinemas in Hua Xia brought Xiao Yunhai a gross income of twelve billion USD. Even if all the expenses were deducted, he would earn at least eight billion USD.
One had to know that this was only the local cinemas in Hua Xia. If he included the rest of the world, it would probably be no problem for him to earn eighty billion USD.
Not to mention, there were also 3D glasses and a 3D camera for filming.
