I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 83 A movie ticket for 1300 yuan? (First update)
The morning sunlight streamed through the window.

Look at this ray of sunlight.

Liu Jun was completely stunned!
Damn!

He actually did it!
I spent the entire night scrolling through the gossip surrounding the movie "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen" on the [Movie House] forum!

From urban fantasy to science fiction, to fantasy, to time-travel martial arts, and then to suspenseful adventure...

This movie has so many different kinds of revelations that I watched it all night and still can't figure out what the hell this movie is about!
It’s just...

frenzied!

He'd never seen a movie in his life generate so many spoiler versions!
Moreover, and more importantly, some of the initial versions were somewhat normal and even had a little bit of logic, but later on, they completely lost their logic and became so absurd that they were simply talking nonsense...

Aliens fighting Earth...

What, an alien battle against Lin Daiyu...?

What kind of time-space distortion is this? Lin Daiyu suddenly transforms into Lu Zhishen...

……

There are versions you can't even imagine, and versions you can't see!
But strangely enough, whether it was due to mental pollution or something else, he became more and more engrossed in watching, and after watching all night, he even felt a little unsatisfied.

He himself didn't know what was going on, but the smile on his lips just wouldn't go away!

He even registered an account, joined in on these revelations, and wrote a story titled "Lin Daiyu Pulls Up Jiang Taigong."

After finishing writing it, he uploaded it to [Movie House] and found that he immediately received nearly a hundred replies and nearly a thousand clicks. Even his newly registered account received dozens of requests for more updates...

Seeing these people frantically urging him to continue writing the story of how Lin Daiyu saved Jiang Taigong on Wuzhi Mountain, his vanity instantly exploded!

Hemp egg!

When has a shut-in who is usually timid and unnoticed in real life ever received such attention?

His inspiration suddenly surged like a torrent, and he began to write furiously, scribbling away until morning...

After checking the time, Liu Jun reluctantly left the website, shutting down his computer and disconnecting from the internet.

In 2003, the most common internet access plan for families in the Yanjing area was dial-up internet, which cost about 3 cents per hour during nighttime and about 1 yuan per hour during regular hours...

The average price reached in a day was around 18 yuan.

Of course, there is also a monthly package, which costs around 80 yuan a month and offers unlimited internet access.

But how can a person spend the whole day holed up in a computer?

Liu Jun did the math: if he only spends 8 hours online every night, it only costs 2.4 yuan a day, 72 yuan a month, and he saves 8 yuan!

It's a good deal.

He was a little tired after staying up all night at the [Movie House], and just as he was about to catch up on some sleep, for some reason, the movie "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen" popped into his head.

Oh shit!

Damn!

Nonsense is nonsense!
But damn it, what kind of movie is this?

Moreover, the premiere time is set for midnight!
Damn it!

Midnight!
Who would put a respectable movie on screen at midnight?
While the movie "Human Reboot" is a pleasant surprise, the other party has made a crazy movie like "Monkey King vs. Superman 2"!
Could this unconventional approach actually produce something truly amazing?

I grass!

"Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen," damn, could it really be that kind of... that kind of thing...?

Liu Jun, who frequented the Japanese and Korean areas and Hong Kong Island, for some reason began to have many thoughts that he shouldn't have had.

The moment this thought came to mind, my already exhausted mind began to become increasingly excited!
He immediately left the room and rushed towards the Feihe Cinema!

Oh shit!

He wanted to see what kind of movie this was!
..............................

"Sorry, the advance tickets for the next 5 days are sold out! If you need them, please come early tomorrow to queue up!"

"We're sorry, we're also facing this problem, but our [Feihe Cinema] is currently limited in size. Alternatively, you can wait until after the premiere and purchase the official DVD version..."

"Excuse me, everyone, please come back tomorrow!"

"..."

As the saying goes.

Curiosity killed the cat.

What about Lin Daiyu saving the earth? What about the Big Bang being wiped out by Lu Zhishen with a single slap? What about Superman being ridden on by Lin Daiyu?

The various outrageous and outrageous revelations on the internet have only piqued the curiosity of netizens!

Damn it!
Everyone's freaking curious to see what this movie is even about!
However, like the previous film "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen", this film, "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen", was only shown in a limited number of six cinemas nationwide.

The movie tickets weren't expensive, still around 10 yuan, and there was also the positive word-of-mouth from the movie "The Longest Nite".

As a result, movie fans from all directions flocked to the ticket hall, crowding in and jostling for space...

then!

The advance tickets for the premiere on September 9th were sold out long ago!
Even so, countless people still rushed over to inquire about movie tickets for "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen"!
Seeing how enthusiastic these movie fans were, Feihe Cinema scheduled several more screenings, but they were all sold out within half an hour!

"Oh shit!"

Why don't you authorize other cinemas to screen the film?

"Yeah, I came all the way from far away just to see what this movie is all about..."

"Yeah, aren't you guys trying to make money?"

"damn it!"

"Do you even want to make money?"

"Add more screenings! Yeah, the midnight slots are over, can we open a midnight slot?"

"Yup!"

"I've never seen a restaurant that doesn't do business before..."

"Yes, opening a few more screening rooms won't cost you much money!"

"..."

August 9 at noon.

I knew perfectly well that all the pre-sale tickets for "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen" on September 9th had already sold out.

But countless movie fans still surrounded the ticket hall, venting their dissatisfaction!
Among these people, some were locals from Yanjing...

Some people, seeing how lively the [Movie House] was from a neighboring city, drove two hours specifically to come and see it...

Naturally, they were somewhat dissatisfied that they had come all this way for nothing...

The staff had never seen anything like this before.

The ticket staff tried their best to explain, but they still couldn't stop the surging crowd of movie fans.

Ultimately, Zhang Muxue came forward to explain herself.

After explaining for a while, Zhang Muxue suddenly noticed some parents with children coming in to buy tickets. She immediately realized something and hurriedly chatted with the staff.

About ten minutes later.

In the bustling hall, Zhang Muxue hurriedly walked out!
"Everyone, everyone, please be quiet, please be quiet!"

"Sorry, children under 16 are not allowed to enter this movie! Children aged 16 to 18 should think carefully..."

"Everyone, I understand how you feel, but I must make one point clear: some scenes in this film may have a negative impact on the mental and physical well-being of minors..."

"Sorry, we can't give away any spoilers!"

"We apologize, but for the sake of your children's well-being, if you have children under the age of 16 who have purchased tickets, you can come here for a refund!"

"I want to reiterate that students under the age of 16 are not allowed to buy movie tickets for 'Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen'!"

"In addition, viewers with a history of heart disease are also not suitable to watch our 'Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen'..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I understand your feelings, but we need to consider the actual situation of some moviegoers. We all want to enjoy the movie, and no one wants anything bad to happen during the movie!"

"Everyone, let me reiterate: if you have any of the above issues, you can come to us for a refund. Thank you, we will refund the movie tickets at the original price. Thank you for your support!"

"Buying a ticket is useless; we'll arrange for supervisors to come and oversee the film before its premiere!"

"...

3 o'clock in the afternoon.

After Zhang Muxue shouted these words through the megaphone, the number of people at [Feihe Cinema] not only didn't decrease, but actually increased!

The entire ticket hall was packed with people!
When Liu Jun excitedly arrived at the entrance of Feihe Cinema, he was even surprised by the huge crowd!
He managed to squeeze into the screening room thanks to his own advantages!
However, what caught my eye was an 18+ announcement!
The announcement detailed which types of people are ineligible to buy tickets for the movie "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen"!
Upon seeing the announcement and realizing that the movie was scheduled for midnight screenings, Liu Jun's pupils constricted sharply!
I grass!

This……

What the hell!

What kind of movie is this?
Lin Daiyu? Lu Zhishen?
Could it really be what I'm thinking, that kind of...?

I grass!

Impossible Impossible!

In such a public and formal setting, it couldn't possibly be that kind of scenario!

But what if?
After reading the announcement, Liu Jun's heart pounded uncontrollably!
He jumped even more after seeing the screening schedule for "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen"!

He discovered that almost all of the premiere screenings scheduled for September 9th were in the evening, while the daytime screenings were for "The Distant Man: Reboot"!
Could it be!

Could it be!

His heart pounded even harder!

He excitedly rushed into the ticket hall, only to be told that there were absolutely no tickets left for this movie!
Not only were the premiere tickets sold out, but even the tickets for the second day were completely snapped up!

Not only that, but seeing that so many people were watching this movie, Feihe Cinema even scheduled several midnight screenings!
The queue stretched from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m., and even these less popular shows were sold out every time!

Liu Jun was starting to question his own existence after seeing this!

Liu Jun was a little disappointed that he couldn't get movie tickets, and eventually went home.

Unable to sleep, he logged onto [Movie House] again.

He discovered that the [Movie House] forum was flooded with posts, almost all of them from netizens lamenting their inability to get tickets for "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen"...

Some people are even complaining that this kind of movie is only shown in a few theaters...

Some people complained that they had flown all the way from Zhejiang Province to see the movie, only to find themselves acting like fools...

Some people said that the additional screenings were sold out in just over ten minutes, so they didn't have a chance at all...

……

Brushing and brushing...

Liu Jun suddenly came across a new post!

[For those who want to see the premiere of "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen," come on over! Tickets are available! Lots of tickets! And they're premiere tickets!]

When he saw the post, he clicked on it instinctively, and then he saw a contact number on it!
He immediately dialed the number.

"Do you really have tickets?"

"Yes, all are premiere screenings, tickets are available from the first row to the last row!"

"So fierce?"

"Of course, we have internal channels..."

"Are you guys liars?"

"How could you be a scammer? We can do it face-to-face. If you're interested, come to our [Feihe Cinema]! But hurry, the tickets will be gone soon!"

"Really?"

"Really! I'm right next to Feihe Cinema right now, wearing a suit. If you need it, I'll give it to you. We'll exchange money for goods!"

"it is good!"

"..."

After receiving the call, Liu Jun was overjoyed. He shut down his computer and excitedly ran back to Feihe Cinema.

Based on the description, we found that person.

The man was dressed in black, wearing a mask and hat, and looked somewhat sleazy.

"Which seat do you want? The prime spot in row 7 is a bit pricey, the others are cheaper..."

How much does a prime location cost?

"1200 yuan."

"How much?" Liu Jun was shocked when he heard the price quoted!
"1200 yuan!"

When Liu Jun heard the price again, his pupils constricted sharply!

They stared at the sleazy young man as if they'd seen a ghost.

1200 yuan!

A movie ticket?

You're robbing me!

This isn't how you rob someone!
"A ticket is 1200 yuan, do you want it?"

"Are you crazy?"

"Take it or leave it. If you think it's too expensive, I think it's too expensive too..."

"..."

Just as Liu Jun was in a daze!
The sleazy young man completely ignored Liu Jun.

Instead, he held the microphone.

Suddenly he shouted at the top of his lungs!

"Buy tickets for 'Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen' here!"

"1300!"

"1300 each!"

"First come, first served! First come, first served!"

"..."

This loud shout immediately drew the attention of countless people!

They all stared wide-eyed as if they had seen a ghost!

Liu Jun was stunned!
Oh shit!

Are scalpers really this audacious these days?
....................................

"My grass!"

"Go crazy!"

"Tickets for this play, 'Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen,' are selling for as much as 1300 yuan on the scalpers?"

"This is absolutely outrageous! It's increased 130 times! Are you crazy?"

"Damn it! That's not the worst part. Do you know what the worst part is? Those scalpers were incredibly arrogant, acting like 'take it or leave it'..."

"Who would buy that? 1300 yuan for a movie ticket? That's ridiculous! Even robbers don't do that!"

"..."

[Movie House]

All the movie fans were stunned when they saw that the premiere tickets for "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen" were selling for 1300 yuan each!

Not only were the movie fans at [Movie House] stunned!

Even the neighboring movie website, Wandou, reported that tickets for "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen" were being resold for as much as 1300 yuan each!

Everyone thought these scalpers had gone mad!
……

But that's not the most outrageous part!
The most outrageous is!

On the morning of September 5th!
"What did you say?"

"The most desirable seats in the movie 'Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen' were actually bought for 1300 yuan?"

"Holy crap, there really are idiots? Who are they?"

"I do not know……"

"..."
