Chapter 756: Mixed Joys and Sadness

Attendance rate is the only criterion for testing the truth.

The attendance rate of Taoyuan Cinema in the first three days of its opening made Hou Longtao happy and worried.

The good news is that the attendance rate showed a stable growth trend. In three days, the year-on-year attendance rate has been increasing. The highest attendance rate on the third day has reached 2.2 times that of the first day, which is more than doubled.

I was worried that no one would watch old movies before, but now it seems that this is not the case. Classic movies still have a market.

The attendance rate of several classic old movies is not much lower than that of the two new movies. In some special sessions, such as early morning and early morning, the attendance rate of old movies is higher than that of new movies.

In general, the morning and early morning are garbage times for watching movies. Even large theaters have very low attendance rates during garbage time periods. There are only one or two people in the huge viewing hall, and the phenomenon of ghost theaters is very common.

If we only look at these two garbage time periods, sometimes the attendance rate of Taoyuan Cinema is higher than that of large theaters.

The reason is that some people still hope to relive classics quietly and without interference. Of course, most people have to go to work and sleep, and it is impossible for them to go to the movies in the middle of the night or in the morning. There are relatively few such people, and even fewer scattered in various theaters throughout the city.

Steady growth, classic films are watched, and the attendance rate of ghost theaters is relatively high. This is the good news.

Speaking of worries, it is also very serious and the problem is very big.

The total attendance rate is too low!

After three days, the average total attendance rate is less than 16%, and the highest time period does not exceed 35%.

Compared with the big theaters, this data is quite bleak, less than half of others. Among the theaters in the three ring roads in the city, it ranks last directly, and there is a clear gap with the previous one.

It is even worse than the performance of the original Changhe Cinema. The original Changhe Cinema's position in the city's theaters was in the last three, often maintaining the last place and striving for the second to last place. It still has the strength to "fight" with the other two theaters that are also poorly managed. If you are lucky, you may be able to climb to the third to last "good ranking".

But now it has fallen to the bottom, to put it bluntly, it can't even smell the fart of the second-to-last place.

This is still the stage of new opening. Logically, the opening of new stores is the time when the flow of people is the highest.

There are no secrets under the sun, not to mention that all theaters are more or less paying attention to Taoyuan Cinema. The news of the first battle failure spread quickly.

"Mr. Qian, it seems that this young boss Su is not as amazing as imagined. It is better to meet him than to hear about him. I heard about his deeds before, and they were spread as miraculous. Oh, yes, it seems that there are really a group of savages who worship him as a god. Now it seems that most of them are just a flowery sedan chair carried by everyone. The city has blown it up to establish the image of young entrepreneurs. Hey, I said that young people are not good at talking, and they are not reliable. They blow it up, but they are not good at it."

Lao Jin from Baoke's marketing department was a little gloating. When he spoke to Mr. Qian, he was still polite, but there was a hint of ridicule in his words.

He and Su Ming had no personal grudge, but because of Taoyuan, he was scolded more than once by his immediate superior, the regional general manager of Baoke, so he naturally transferred this resentment to Taoyuan.

In terms of qualifications and ability, Lao Jin felt that Qian, a "young man" who was less than 40 years old, was not as good as himself, but he was able to ride on his head and often scolded him very embarrassingly.

He hated the whole house and was dissatisfied with Qian, so he also took Taoyuan Cinema into account.

Mr. Qian, don't you think highly of Taoyuan? Now Taoyuan has made a fool of itself, and the words you said two days ago are still ringing in my ears. Let's see how you step down.

Mr. Qian lowered his head and carefully looked at the data report of Taoyuan in the past few days. He glanced at Lao Jin with his eyelids, but did not respond to his words, but said calmly: "The marketing department will continue to observe and summarize the data for me once a week this month."

"Okay." Lao Jin went there happily, thinking that the performance was not good when it was newly opened, so would it be good later? If Mr. Qian's previous words of "don't be enemies with him" were not mentioned by everyone until now, it would be considered to have saved face. Now you have to report the data every week. Mr. Qian is asking for a slap in the face.

Very good, anyway, it's not me who is hurt.

In addition to the major theaters, there are two ordinary people who are not in the business circle who pay attention to Taoyuan Cinema.

Song Lulu and her daughter, especially Song Lulu's mother, have been paying attention to Hou Longtao since Su Ming and Hou Longtao used two million to stab her in the face that day.

This old woman, who has nothing to do, has been asking about things related to Hou Longtao during this period.

Song Lulu was stunned when she heard that Hou Longtao won more than two million right after she broke up with Hou Longtao and left Hong Kong.

The typical characteristic of the petty citizen is that they are short-sighted and can’t stand silver. Although her family has several houses, which add up to more than two million, Song Lulu still feels entangled and annoyed when she hears that Hou Longtao has become a millionaire from a "down-and-out youth" who can't even pay the rent.

The main reason is that the houses came too easily, all of which were distributed by demolition. If she really makes two million by herself, she may not be able to make it in her lifetime, so in her opinion, two million in real money is definitely a huge sum of money.

"Mom, it's all your fault!" Song Lulu complained, "It's because you always say that he has no future, and you have to force me to break up with him. You see, if you didn't force me at that time, I would have waited a little longer, and he would have made money. If I go to him again now, who knows what he will think..."

"Am I forcing you? My daughter, you have to speak according to your conscience!" Song Lulu's mother gave up and said with a white face: "Your mouth is on your face and your legs are on your body. You are already in your twenties. , if you really like him, can I force you? "

"Anyway, you were the one who instigated it! It's more than two million. If we were still in love now, he would definitely buy me a BMW!" Song Lulu said.

"Let me tell you, poor people have a poor life. People like him will be poor for the rest of their lives. Even if two million fell from the sky today, he will not be able to catch it! If your mother puts it here, sooner or later he will become a pauper again. !" Song Lulu's mother said firmly.

"Mom, have you heard something? Are you so sure?" Song Lulu actually showed a happy face.

She was in a period of trouble. The reason for the trouble was not the breakup with Hou Longtao itself, but that after the breakup, Hou Longtao suddenly became rich!

If Hou Longtao becomes a pauper again, she will have no reason to worry.

"Let me tell you, I heard that he invested in a movie theater!" Song Lulu's mother said mysteriously.

"Ah?!" Song Lulu's eyes suddenly widened, "It's really a cinema, not a private cinema?"

"right!"

"Oh, it's all your fault!" Song Lulu became even more depressed. Now Hou Longtao was not only rich, but also became a successful person!

When I go out and say that my husband is the boss and owns a movie theater, whichever movie theater belongs to me... these words give me face when I think about it.

But now, after enduring for such a long time, I lost at the last moment. I don’t know which woman will be better off in the future!

"What are you in a hurry for? Listen to me!" Song Lulu's mother waved her hand and said mysteriously: "Do you know what kind of cinema he invested in? The old Changhe Cinema, that shabby place, no one goes to see movies at all. Hum hum. , I would say that boy is born poor and cannot make money at all. If you invest the money in Changhe Cinema, all the money will be wasted! Just wait, it won’t take half a year, and maybe you will lose all your money. I owe a lot of debt!"

In the past few days since the opening of Changhe Cinema, Song Lulu's mother actually walked around the theater every night before and after the square dance to check the customer flow. She even pretended to chat a few times and stopped the audience coming out to ask questions.

"My son-in-law owns a shop. We are the elders. We are afraid that they will be annoyed and can't ask directly, how is the business now?"
