"What's over there?" Mai Sakurajima looked in the direction that Kasumigaoka Utaha pointed and was also a little confused. Just outside the cinema. There stood a group of strange people. They were wearing uniform T-shirts, holding cheering light sticks in their hands, and scarves with Mayu Watanabe's portrait and name printed on them around their necks. Some of them were also holding handmade cheering posters. This strange group of people made the people around them actively avoid them. The same was true for Sakurajima Mai and Kasumigaoka Utaha. After seeing this group of people, they decided to bypass them and enter the cinema. When they got closer, the two girls discovered that this group of people actually had a leader. "Everyone! We are here today to support Mayuyu's new movie, but we, the Mayuyu Army, are a qualified army and cannot affect other people's viewing of the movie!" "Just as we discussed online, we have already bought tickets for everyone in advance!! Everyone will come up to get their tickets and enter in turn." "Also, if anyone gets a Mayuyu card from the card pack that comes with the ticket, please contact me and I'll... I'll pay 1 yen for it~~~"
At the end, Cang Yuanming still exposed his little thoughts. As the name suggests, Mayuyu Army is a fan club of Mayu Watanabe. There are many fan clubs like this in AKB, including fan clubs centered on teams and fan clubs centered on individual idols. The second category is the largest. But generally speaking, an idol is also a fan club. But Mayu Watanabe is too popular. Naturally, there are many fan clubs. After all, even if you like the same person, there are different reasons. There are all kinds of fans: fans of looks, fans of songs, fans of nurturing relationships. Like the mayuyu army, they are the fans of Mayu Watanabe. In short, most of the fans in this fan group treat Mayu Watanabe as their own daughter. I get a strange sense of satisfaction from witnessing Mayu Watanabe's continued growth. This group of people are relatively older and have stronger financial strength. Like the leader Cang Yuanming, he is an employee of a newspaper company and his salary is not low. I have relatively plenty of time, so I set up this fan club. Several months ago, Mayu Watanabe began to release promotional materials for the Battle Royale crew. From time to time, we also release some trailers of the crew to maintain the appeal. These efforts finally paid off today. Many fans of Mayu Watanabe went to the cinema. Akira Kuramoto was present at the preview yesterday. After watching the movie, he was also very excited. Although Mayu Watanabe didn’t have many roles in the movie, she performed very well (idol filter)
But after watching the movie, he still had one unfulfilled wish. That is, as a fan of Mayu Watanabe, he did not draw Mayu Watanabe's card. So I thought of organizing the fan club to watch the movie together. The more people there are, the higher the probability of winning. However, he had some dignity. After using the group's funds to buy the tickets, he did not keep the card pack for himself, but instead spent money to collect the cards. A passerby heard him spending money and collecting cards, so he turned around and shouted something to Cang Yuanming. "If you draw Matsui Reina, I'll also pay 1 yen." Well...it turns out this guy is a fan of Matsui Rena, and like Kuramoto Akira, he also came to watch the movie for the second time. Unfortunately, after buying the ticket, he happily opened the card pack, but found the card of the male lead. I am really speechless. Who wants this lousy man’s card? It’s unlucky. When he heard Cang Yuanming shouting to collect the cards, he, who was already feeling angry, ran out to join in the fun. After all, they are all AKB fans, so they are half family. Chapter 71 It’s time to go all out It turns out. At all times, fans’ wallets are the best. What's more, the reason why things like "draw, draw, draw" can dominate the mobile games of later generations is that it has some elements of gambling in it. Throughout the long river of history, the word "luck" has always accompanied mankind, and mankind has always been interested in things that can prove their luck. From ancient times to the present, many historical figures who did not believe in the word "luck" have failed, but those who are truly blessed with the luck of the European emperor can even go from being a cowherd to becoming an emperor. In modern society, from lotteries to claw machines on the street, think carefully, what makes you want to draw and buy? The answer is when you know you can win 500 million by buying a lottery ticket, and you feel that you can win it. When you feel that this coin can bring up the doll you want. The second before you press the ten-pull button, you imagine the moment when you ship the goods. For ordinary people, this small card holder that comes with the movie ticket may be a souvenir or a collection. But for the fans. That's what you're really willing to spend money on. In this way, the card pack has value. Although Sakurajima Mai didn't understand any of this, she saw a group of people scrambling to open their card packs, and some were laughing, while others were shaking their heads. Weird though. But it also seems to show from another dimension that the movie "Battle Royale" is very popular?
Kasumigaoka Utaha can understand it to some extent, but she also feels that this kind of lottery-style giveaway peripherals will not have much impact on the movie box office. After all, it is very rare for normal people to sell things just for gifts. Get around this group of people. Two girls came to the front desk. "Um, two tickets for the movie Battle Royale, please." This is a very normal sentence in a movie theater. But after Sakurajima Mai finished speaking, the front desk staff showed a very subtle expression. "Um, sorry, the tickets for Battle Royale are sold out." Although Sakurajima Mai was a little surprised, she also thought it was normal. After all, there were already dozens of people in the group outside, so it was understandable that this show was sold out. "Then I'll take two tickets for the afternoon." The staff's mood was more nuanced. "Sorry, all the tickets for Battle Royale are sold out today." “They’re all sold out!?” This time, Sakurajima Mai was shocked. Seeing the girl's expression, the staff pointed to a middle-aged man who was constantly opening card packs next to the cinema lobby. "Just now, that gentleman bought all the tickets for today's "Battle Royale" movie. If you want to watch it, you can ask him..." ~~ In the end, Mai Sakurajima finally got to see the movie, and for free. The man who bought all the movie tickets drew Maeda Atsuko's gold card, cheered, and put all the remaining movie tickets at the front desk for people to pick up. This operation, in turn, attracted some people who had originally planned to watch the live-action version of Saint Seiya to receive free movie tickets and eventually entered the theater of the Battle Royale. You know, a movie ticket costs nearly 1000 yen, so it’s better to get it for free. ~~~ Two hours later. The movie ended, and Mai Sakurajima and Utaha Kasumigaoka were in a daze almost at the same time. Talk about it. Both of them can be considered participants in this movie, Kasumigaoka Utaha participated in the script, and Sakurajima Mai starred in the movie. But their previous information was fragmented. In fact, because of this information, they are not that interested in the entire movie.
After all, many things are already known in advance. But when a movie with complete editing and music appeared in front of them, they were still surprised. This was also the first time that Mai Sakurajima watched her own scenes, but overall she didn't pay too much attention to herself and was immersed in the plot. The entire movie, from beginning to end, almost makes people's hearts beat. Killing comes suddenly. There is almost no warning of death, and every plot is unexpected yet reasonable. When the warehouse trio hacked into the system, there was even a collective sigh of relief in the cinema, but then the appearance of Kiriyama Kazuo made people hold their breath again. When watching it, people feel a little scared, but still can't help but want to continue reading. After finishing it, I just felt like I wanted more. That guy/senpai from Ping Qingshan is so awesome! ~~~ The next morning, Ping Qingshan entered the office and before he could even sit down, Nakamura Shugami followed him in and said excitedly, "Director, the first day box office is out!!!" Ping Qingshan nodded: "Looking at your expression, it should be okay?" Nakamura took a deep breath and said forcefully, "It's more than just okay, it's far beyond our expectations. Our box office revenue exceeded 100 million yesterday!!!" Ping Qingshan was mentally prepared, but he was still slightly surprised when he heard the number. The box office on the first day exceeded 100 million, which is not high. During the golden age of the Japanese film market, there were many movies that grossed over 15 billion yen on the first day, but for "Battle Royale", which only had % of the screening time, it was already a very good result. Compared to my own "Battle Royale" Ping Qingshan was more concerned about the situation of his opponent. There was no need for Ping Qingshan to ask, Nakamura Shugami had already answered the question himself. After talking about his own box office, he talked about his opponent's situation in a gloating tone. "Saint Seiya's first-day box office was only 1 million." "One hundred and ninety million?" This number is higher than that in the previous life. In the previous life, the box office of this movie only earned 3 million yen in the first three days of the weekend. In this life, it was able to sell 5000 million yen, which is probably mainly due to the benefits of the screening schedule. There were many screenings on the first day, and the small-scale preview did not allow word of mouth to spread, so there were still many people who did not know the truth. But as word of mouth started to spread today. I think the box office will drop significantly. "Yes, it's only 6 million. They have nearly times the number of films as us, but the box office is less than % of ours. The theater chain should be going crazy now."
Nakamura Sake was smiling happily. In fact, it was just as he said, after the first day of release. Japanese theaters have begun adjusting their screening schedules. "It's not just the box office, their reputation is also a problem. There are a lot of negative reviews on theater review websites and Japanese entertainment websites." After a day of fermentation.
