Chapter Thirty-Six: A Miracle Has Appeared
Damn it!
Facing a cinema with a flock of sparrows at the door.
Standing at the ticket counter, the originally busy fat boy who was preparing for a grand opening is now so idle that he's almost dozing off.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!" A fly flew onto the window glass in front of Fatty's eyes. With a loud "slap", Fatty used a fly swatter to slap it dead on the spot.
"Ayan, it looks like we're done for. There are only a few minutes left before the show starts, but not a single ticket has been sold!" Fatso said dejectedly.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine eventually. The main thing is that they haven't seen our play yet and don't know how good it is." Yi Feiyang comforted Pangzi, but in fact he was also a bit at a loss.
"Look, isn't someone coming over there!" Yi Fei pointed to the three oncoming spectators and said, "As long as someone enters the arena to watch, we've taken a big step towards victory."
Three black youths walked over and said to the fat ticket seller, "Hey buddy, is this 'Blair Witch' a porno flick? If so, give us three tickets!"
These guys have gotten used to watching this kind of movie, and asked casually.
Fatty was depressed and pointed at the words on the poster: "Take a closer look, it's a horror movie! It's got sex scenes too! Do you still want to watch it?"
"What's wrong with you? Forget it, let's go!" The three black youths shook their heads and left.
Yi Feiyang sighed and said to the fat man, "Tickets aren't sold like that. If the audience has questions, you can explain, but you can't be so overbearing. Besides, you can be a bit more tactful, trick them into entering the cinema first, and then whatever they say afterwards is up to them!"
"No way, I have principles," said the fatty, "even if business is bad, we can't cheat the audience!"
Yi Feiyang was speechless.
Not long after, several wandering young people came again, asking the same question as before. The fat man answered truthfully, and the result can be imagined - not a single ticket was sold.
Yi Feiyang suddenly felt that he was out of control, and originally thought that spending a huge amount of money to be a second-hand dealer could make a big profit, but now it seems that he had been too naive.
"Blair Witch" may or may not be able to write a prequel legend, which has now become an unknown number.
There are just ten minutes left before the movie starts.
Yi Feiyang's forehead was slightly sweating as he stared at the still quiet and deserted movie theater entrance, he almost cursed.
Fatso was anxious too, he began to regret his straightforwardness, why did he have to drive those guys who watched porn away, it would be better to trick them into coming in and then outnumbering them, but in front of Yifeng Yang, he couldn't admit his mistake.
Just as the two brothers were getting anxious, suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of them. Natasha, an adult film actress who once played the female lead in "SpongeBob SquarePants", wearing extremely revealing clothes, came running with four or five sisters to cheer them on.
"Dear Yi, we know that your new play is going on tonight, so we ran over to see if there's anything we can help with?" Natasha asked.
"This... seems to be nothing." Yi Feiyang spread his hands and looked at the extremely cold and quiet cinema entrance.
"Maybe we can do something now." Natasha walked up to the fatty, took the ticket from his hand, and beckoned her own companions, "Sisters, let's go sell tickets at the entrance!"
Then, a miracle appeared!
As soon as Natasha and her stunning sisters stood at the entrance of the cinema, they immediately attracted everyone around them.
"Hey, pretty girl, what are you guys doing?"
"We're selling tickets, how about it, handsome guy, come and support us?"
"Of course, come on, give me one!"
……
"What's the benefit of going in to watch a movie with you, beautiful?" a black youth asked with a smile.
"Of course I will, if you like what you see, I can give you a kiss!" Natasha blew him a kiss.
That black young man immediately went limp all over, "Good yeah, give me one!"
……
"Beauty, what movie is this? Is it good?"
"Of course it's exciting! It's a thriller! If you watch it with your girlfriend, I guarantee she'll be snuggling up close to you the whole time!"
"Is it really that good? Alright, give me two!"
……
Have to say, beauties promote trial and error, especially someone like Natasha, a stunning beauty, not to mention men, even women can't resist her charm.
With Natasha and her sisters' help, they sold one or two dozen tickets in just three to four minutes.
Seeing this situation, Bao, the fat guy, pulled out an Indian feather from his head and said in a disappointed tone: "Looks like this feather is useless!"
Yi Feiyang did not expect that the situation would take such a wonderful turn, and he was quite grateful to Natasha and others in his heart.
But before he could thank them, Fat Jack LaLanne and Rabbit Bill came over with a large crowd.
"Dear Yi, look, we've brought all our friends to support us! Many of them are still university students, they'll definitely help promote this play!"
As he looked around, there were at least fifty or sixty people packed tightly together, and Yi Feiyang was completely stunned.
"Alright guys, this is the infamous Devil's Tape we've been hearing about. If you want to get to the bottom of things, let's head to the cinema right now!" shouted Bugsy and Fat Jack as they waved their hands.
A large crowd of people surged into the cinema.
Bao from the Gao family shouted, "Get your tickets ready, don't forget to buy your tickets!"
……
Looking at so many college students who came to watch the show, Yi Feiyang slapped his forehead, damn it, how could he forget this point. The reason why this play was popular in his previous life was because of these college students' support. Fortunately, Fatty Jack and Rabbit Bill were clever enough to use their connections to develop the audience.
……
No one had expected that a miracle would occur in this way. The movie theater, which was originally empty, suddenly became crowded. Those who were still planning to watch from the sidelines saw so many people rushing into the theater and couldn't help but want to buy tickets and go in to see what all the fuss was about.
Then, the fat guy started getting busy, constantly collecting money, tearing tickets, tearing tickets, and then collecting money again.
Yi Feiyang also started busy maintaining order, arranging people to enter the venue, lest something unexpected happen.
Before long, after a flurry of activity, the delayed movie was about to start. Yi Feiyang and Pangzi finally took a breather.
At this time, Big Bird Lucci came with his nephew Little Robert, "Oh buddy, it looks like we're late, is there still a seat?"
"There are no good seats left, do you want a plastic stool?" The fat man handed out two plastic stools.
"Just take a look." Ruchi smiled and pointed to the popcorn next to Fatty, "Uncle, I want to eat!"
Fatty: "Three beauties for one package!"
Yi Feiyang casually handed a package over to Little Robert: "He said it in jest, but I'll give it to you for free!"
"Hehe, thank you Yi, you're really a good person!" The little kid giggled and then scrunched up his nose at the fatty, "You're a bad egg!"
"Damn you, believe it or not, I'll snatch it away and won't let you eat!"
The little kid quickly pulled his uncle away.
"Ayan, business isn't done this way, everything is discounted or free, we'll go bankrupt!" the fatty said with a serious tone.
"Haha, you're still being so petty about this. It's just a small matter. When interacting with others, one should have some human touch."
"Alright, I won't argue with you. Let me just count how much we made today." The fatty started to happily count the money.
Yi Feiyang didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore. He turned his head around, just about to enter the scene to take a look, when he suddenly saw someone and thought to himself, "How did she end up here?!"
