From Xiangjiang Martial Arts in the 70s

Chapter 25 Waiting
After the one-night reception, Wu Changyun woke up at five o'clock the next day, and there was no sign of Fushun on the ground floor. Wu Changyun found Fushun in the corridor on the first floor platform.

"woke up?"

"Well, I can't sleep well."

"Me too." Fushun took a deep breath and said.

"What are you pretending to be?" Wu Changyun couldn't hold back and slapped Fushun on the back. The movie "New Wusheng" they shot a few days ago was submitted for review. Today is the day when it will be released in theaters. This "New Wusheng" can After several rounds of screenings, how much results can be achieved depends entirely on this one-month test.

"It should be fine after a week."

Wu Changyun glanced at Fushun. Many unpopular movies may have been taken off the shelves within a week of their release due to poor sales. At that time, there was an unwritten custom that movies that did not sell well at the box office would be released early. Some dancers go to perform in theaters, and many pornographic old men will go to see them, so they can earn more ticket money to regenerate their blood.

Wu Changyun thought it over carefully, and replied: "No, if it really doesn't sell, the two of us will go to the stage to dance and wrestle."

"Fuck you, we two stand up like two baguettes." Fu Shun teased with a smile.

At noon, the two couldn't help but went to the cinema. The theater camp is still relatively complicated nowadays. In addition to being released locally, the main battlefields of Hong Kong movies include Singapore, Japan and other neighboring countries. Shaw Brothers is in the cinema. The former online competitor, International Film Industry, was founded by Singaporeans. Its earliest main business was to introduce Hong Kong films to the Nanyang market. Later, it made money and opened many theaters in Hong Kong. In 1970, it The theater was transferred to Golden Harvest.

The Hollywood theater that Wu Changyun went to this time is one of the movie theaters under Shaw Brothers. The money earned from the film must be distributed to the theater chain, distribution, producers, taxpayers and foundations. 60.00% of the ticket price was taken by Shaw Brothers.Whether it is Hong Kong, Singapore, or Japan, the money earned from making movies must be distributed to various links.

"I worked hard to make some movies, but all the money I earned was taken away by the cinema." Wu Changyun was unwilling to accept it, but the amount of money invested by Shaw Brothers in the cinema was not a small amount.

"The decoration is really nice, and it's also air-conditioned." Fushun looked around. The walls were covered with various movie posters, and the floor was still made of marble tiles.

Along the way, Wu Changyun saw posters of "Uncle Wu" plastered everywhere. When he got closer, he saw that the characters on it were Gao Wu and the girl in leather?
"Damn, you're playing this trick. I said the flyers just handed out at the door were all stuff. It turned out to be this kid's movie. Don't tell me, the waist is really thin." Fushun smacked his lips. Although the painting style of the characters in the poster was It is far from realistic, but it is eye-catching enough in the eyes of contemporary people.

Wu Changyun smiled lightly. Gao Wu was obviously more attentive than himself in the promotion. After the film was finished, due to fatigue, Wu Changyun did not intervene in the promotion and distribution, and he did not have the appeal of a big star.I don't know if it was specially arranged, but Gao Wu was on the same schedule as Wu Changyun, it may be the company's arrangement.

Wu Changyun checked the schedule. At present, they only have two cinemas under Shaw Brothers, namely Hollywood and Jinghua. The midnight file of .

There are not many people queuing up to buy tickets. Many people buy tickets at noon to watch movies just to enjoy the cool air. Only half of them are really attracted by the promotional posters.Although it was a movie he made, tickets were still required. Fu Shun queued up and bought two tickets for two yuan, and the two sat in the Hou Cinema and waited.

But looking at the people coming and going, Fushun felt strange, why did everyone have a few cents in their hands, and two yuan with change?Fu Shun angrily went to the front desk, and there was a girl with short hair in the window, but Fu Shun restrained her violent temper just by looking at him, and looked like a frail scholar.

"The change is at the window. Why did you turn around and leave without waiting any longer? You can't blame us." Wen Jing said with her head tilted. In fact, she was leading the class to watch the scene temporarily, and the official conductor went to the toilet after eating. .Although leading a class is not a serious job, you can get some benefits by coming here at this time every day.

Hearing this explanation, Wu Changyun also frowned, shouldn't the change be mentioned in advance?

Wu Changyun didn't reach out to get the money from the window, and Wen Jing ignored the two of them, waved her hand and said, "Is there anything else? Stand aside, there are so many people lined up."

"Yes, yes, what are you doing?"

The people behind him were also a little impatient in waiting. Wu Changyun was furious. If it were someone else's movie, he wouldn't be able to care so much. Who said it was his movie?
"It's really rare for a few big men to pay for these two cents." Wen Jing continued.

"Sister, look at what you said, we really don't feel sorry for the two cents, we just need to make things clear."

Fushun wanted to reach out to get the money from the window with a silly smile, but was immediately stopped by Wu Changyun. Wu Changyun scolded: "Are you crazy? Can this kind of person get used to her problems?"

"Oh, you don't understand, that little girl is quite pretty."

"Damn, are you into it?" Wu Changyun said looking at Fushun's pig-headed three.

"Am I such a frivolous person? My attitude towards love has always been unwavering, okay? But then again, who doesn't want to look twice at beautiful women?"

"En." Wu Changyun nodded. He very much agreed with Fushun's point of view. The conductor just now seemed to be a rare beauty, but based on Wu Changyun's experience in seeing people, a girl like this with heavy makeup and a slender waist is still very attractive. Coupled with that arrogant attitude, he was definitely a money-burning boss. He advised Fushun not to mess with such a woman.

"I know, it's up to you to tell me." Fu Shun replied angrily.

Wu Changyun sighed helplessly, and it was obvious that Fushun didn't take his words to heart at all.

After waiting for a while, the two entered the screening room. This was the first scene of "The New Warriors". Wu Changyun looked around. It started in about 5 minutes, and the whole scene was about half done.To be honest, normal people will feel disappointed. Wu Changyun has long predicted this problem. Their movie will definitely encounter a cold start at the beginning. At this time, sitting here and seeing the attendance rate, Wu Changyun is so calm. Some were speechless.

"It's okay, don't tell me, everyone likes to watch movies." Fu Shun usually didn't watch movies, and he once couldn't understand why anyone would spend one or two dollars to sit in a movie theater to kill time.

Wu Changyun could only nod his head in embarrassment, but what Fushun thought in his heart was completely different.
