The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Jiang Pingsheng looked at the more than 30 contracts in his hand, and his admiration for Xiaoyue reached its peak.

Don’t think that Ms. Cheng seems to be indifferent to things on a normal day, but she really has the general direction of the whole thing in her control and will make it go in the direction she wants. She is a trend-setter of the times!

Ma Li was even busier. There were too many advertisers, so she had to resort to bidding. The last opening ad spot reached a staggering 30 million, and later the ending ad spot reached 2.3 million.

After a rough calculation, the advertising costs were more than 240 million.

When Xiaoyue saw this number, her expression remained unchanged.

Ma Li said: "Boss Cheng, there are still many advertisers who are willing to provide us with costumes and other props for the movie after the New Year for free, and they also said they want to insert soft advertisements."

"Don't agree to it yet. This is just a small amount of money. Ask the publicity department to make sure the advertising space at the beginning and end of the film is ready."

"Okay, Mr. Cheng."

Xiao Yue sat on her dragon chair, massaging her fingers while thinking, am I getting carried away? I can't even see more than 200 million? It's really sinful!

"By the way, Mr. Cheng, the two people you arranged have already joined the Public Relations Department, but they are still in the internship period. Do they need to end their internship early?"

Ma Li seemed to think of it casually, but in fact she just wanted to know Mr. Cheng's attitude towards those two girls.

Xiaoyue knew she was talking about Wang Xiaonan and Wang Manman, so she said, "They are my classmates. Don't give them any special treatment. Just treat them as ordinary employees."

Xiaoyue really doesn't want to engage in nepotism in the company. As long as they work hard, their future development will not be bad.

"I understand, President Cheng."

Ma Li then withdrew with satisfaction. In fact, she was also afraid that Xiaoyue would ask for special treatment, which would invisibly make her work more difficult.

Two days later, Xiaoyue finally finished updating "Dune: The Sixth Part of the Dune Series", which is basically a complete story.

After reading the first part of Dune, book fans were all amazed by Lou Zhongyue’s imagination.

"Lou Zhongyue is awesome. I was stunned after reading the first part. Is this a new genre of novel? Science fiction, he really created a new genre of novel."

"I think we should really suggest that the government add new novel sections, such as Xianxia and science fiction, which will surely become a new direction for writers to follow suit and write books."

"Why not open a separate section for Lou Zhongyue? He is the writer who is best at creating miracles."

"The idea above is great. Let's set up a Lou Zhongyue tribe. This way, whenever we want to read Lou Zhongyue's novels, we can just go to the tribe!"

"The authorities may not necessarily accept our ideas, after all, no writer has ever opened a separate section."

"I heard from my uncle that he had seen Avatar and felt that it was also a science fiction theme and very interesting. I think if Dune was also made into a movie, it would definitely be very exciting."

"I'm so jealous. I heard that tickets for Avatar will be on sale at 8am tomorrow. I'm so excited!"

It has to be said that as the netizens were talking the topic started to go off track and ended up talking about their experience of grabbing tickets.

Xiao Wang is an employee of Dadi Cinema. Usually, friends and relatives often call him and ask him to help buy movie tickets. But tonight he felt that he received too many calls. Almost everyone who had a slight relationship with him called him, so his phone was always busy with calls until it ran out of battery and turned off.

There were dozens of calls, all asking for movie tickets for "Avatar", which surprised Xiao Wang.

After his phone was charged for a while, he turned it on and called Xiao Li, his colleague in charge of ticket sales. However, the call could not go through and the call was always busy.

Xiao Wang felt something was wrong. It seemed that "Avatar" was very popular. He immediately opened the screening schedule of Dadi Cinema to see the number of screenings for tomorrow.

You don't know until you see it. It's shocking. Half of the screenings in the theaters are for "Avatar", which has never happened before.

He didn't know how many times he called, but he finally got through to Xiao Li.

"Brother Wang, you're not also booking tickets for tomorrow's Avatar movie in advance, are you?"

"Haha, you've even learned how to answer quickly! Give me eighty!"

Xiao Wang deliberately reported a few because he was afraid that someone would call him later.

Xiao Li sighed and said, "Brother Wang, can you please order less? Tomorrow, almost all the movie tickets for our theater will be sold out by our internal staff. We have to leave a few for other audiences, right?"

Xiao Li was really worried. All the employees of the cinema came to him. If he gave this one but not that one, wouldn't that offend people? Moreover, the leader had told him that he had to leave 20% of the tickets for other audiences. What should he do? What else could he do? He could only give everyone some face and cut the number of tickets he wanted by one third, otherwise the cinema would be full of his own people tomorrow.

Xiao Wang also knew Xiao Li's difficulty, so he asked tentatively: "How many can you give me?"

"Fifty-three, no more."

"Okay, thank you very much. I'll bring you a pack of good cigarettes tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Wang was in a dilemma. He had no choice but to learn from Xiao Li's operation.

Those who wanted six were given four, and those who wanted four were given two. In the end, Xiao Wang found that he still had two cards left in his hand, which was exactly enough for ten o'clock tomorrow night.

Xiao Wang thought to himself that he was already in his thirties and didn't even have a girlfriend. He didn't know whether the blind date from his last date would still be willing to pay attention to him, but that appearance and figure were really what he wanted.

I don't know if asking her to go to the movies together to strengthen our relationship could have any chance of developing further, but after all, you won't know the result until you try, right?

So he sent a message to the girl: "Are you asleep? Can I treat you to a movie tomorrow night?"

Ten minutes later the girl replied: "I'm not interested in watching movies."

Xiao Wang gritted his teeth and continued: "I have a ticket for the movie Avatar."

Then a few seconds later, he received a reply from the girl: "There are indeed movie tickets for Avatar. What time will it be tomorrow?"

Xiao Wang sighed. He knew it would be like this. As expected, he was not as attractive as the movie ticket for "Avatar".

He could only reply: "Movie tickets for tomorrow night at 10 o'clock."

The girl replied enthusiastically: "Sure! I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow night, and then we'll go to the movies."

"it is good."

Xiao Wang suddenly felt less sad. Even if he couldn't catch up with the beauty, at least he earned a dinner and watched a movie with the beauty. It was not a loss at all!

People like Xiao Wang are still considered good. One netizen cried in the forum.

"Can anyone help me? My girlfriend said she's going to break up with me if she doesn't see Avatar tomorrow."

"Dude, it's better not to have a girlfriend like this. Movie tickets are so expensive nowadays. I just booked a movie ticket for tomorrow with a friend, and he actually offered me five thousand, which is a hundred times more!"

"Damn it! The pre-sale starts at 8am tomorrow and some middlemen have already started reselling the tickets. How shameless!"

There was a lot of buzz online about the "Avatar" movie ticket issue.

Finally, several major cinemas jointly issued a statement to boycott the private resale of movie tickets. In the future, movie tickets will adopt a real-name system, and the implementation date will be December 16th.

After watching for a while, some netizens finally realized that "Avatar" was clearly scheduled to start screening on the 15th, but you only implemented it on the 16th. This is obviously favoritism and fraud!

The theaters don’t care about the netizens’ continued fuss. They have all privately booked movie tickets for the 15th and must be the first to see the movie.

You know, they also want to watch "Avatar"!

Anyway, the cinema is ours and we are the boss. We have to keep it to ourselves even if we are dissatisfied.

Xiaoyue had asked Ma Li to reserve ten movie tickets for her for tomorrow morning, and she also sent a fast-running guy to take them directly to the music college.

Each of the three roommates received one photo, Teacher Huang received two photos, Teacher Chen Lin received two photos, the dance teacher received one photo, and Professor Chen received two photos. She divided them clearly.

The three roommates were busy moving out of the dormitory recently. They didn't expect to receive movie tickets for the next day before leaving. The three of them hugged each other excitedly, which diluted the sadness of separation.

The three of them made an appointment to go to the movies together tomorrow and then move.

Besides, we will be in Beijing from now on, so it will be easy to meet each other.

Chen Xiaomeng also joined Tianyu as she wished, and Wang Xiaonan and Wang Manman have already started working at Yuexiang.

The two companies are not far away, and the three of them can make plans to have dinner or go shopping together.

They decided to go to the flower shop tomorrow to buy a bouquet of barley to give to the "Avatar" premiere, which would also be a way of expressing their help to Xiaoyue.
