Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

The Castro Theater, the oldest theater in North America, is now one of the theater chains owned by Monarch Entertainment.

As a landmark building in San Francisco, the ancient history of this theater can be traced back to the Spanish colonial period.

The theater opened in 1910 and was later converted into a retail store. When the theater was reopened in the 1920s, the mayor came to attend the ceremony.

The interior decoration is very luxurious, and the large"Castro" neon light outside the theater is an iconic symbol that has not changed for many years.

Although the theater is old, the screening conditions inside the theater have been improving.

You can also enjoy 4K movies and 5.1-channel Dolby Atmos in this ancient building.

And it can also show 70mm film movies, making it one of the few theaters in the world that can show such movies.

At this time, there was already a long queue in front of this ancient theater.

"Two copies of"The Matrix"》"

"I want tickets for"~The Matrix""

"Give me three copies of"The Matrix"》"

"Give me The Matrix》……"

"I also bought"The Matrix"》……"

The Chinese woman selling tickets, Penny Wang, was so busy that she was sweating profusely, cursing Martin and his"The Matrix" in her heart.》

"Damn movie, what’s so good about it? I’m so exhausted that my hand is about to break!"

In the peripheral goods store of the movie theater, the store manager Zhu Jiang, who is also Chinese, is also very busy, but he is not as depressed as Penny Wang.

Because this store belongs to him, and the busier he is, the more he makes.

"Thank you Martin, thank you"The Matrix"》……"

While praising Martin and"The Matrix" in his mind, he urged the store clerk to quickly bring in the new arrivals.

Box after box of goods were brought in, and after being unpacked, they were placed on the shelves of the movie theater's sales display cabinet. Among them were windbreakers, leather coats, sunglasses, dolls, and keychains.……

"Why do you still have MP3?"

A clerk picked up a pure white MP3 player in surprise and looked at it.

"Or Apple’s?"

"Okay, put it on the counter quickly so it doesn't get dirty. This is the style used by Neo in the movie. Don’t you think this white MP3 goes well with the black trench coat?"

The clerk was also Chinese and Zhu Jiang's cousin. Hearing this, he shrugged his shoulders and placed the prototype on the counter. The remaining one hundred Apple MP3 players were placed under the container. At this time, there were already many Moviegoers who had bought few good tickets walked in, and some of them were attracted by the items on the counter.

"Cool, is this the same style of trench coat that Neo wears?"A brown-haired white guy came over and asked.

"Yes, it is the same model and different from those imitations outside!"Zhu Jiang became energetic and replied hurriedly.

"How much?"

"$98"

"Give me a set."

After he finished shopping, the white guy didn't leave. Instead, he put on his windbreaker and proudly shouted to a group of young people not far away:

"Come on guys, here is Neo's same windbreaker. Do you think I look good in it?"

"It's so cool. Wherever it is, I'll get one too."

"I want sunglasses, give me a pair of sunglasses"

"How much does this MP3 cost?"

Zhu Jiang was busy happily. He could be sure that what he earned today was definitely worth half a month's income in the past.

"Thank you Martin, thank you"The Matrix"》……"

He started again.

Scenes like the Castro Theater can be seen in theaters in major cities in North America.

The thirty-second commercial during the Super Bowl halftime show aroused the curiosity of countless people.

In addition, the audience who attended the premiere were eager to watch this movie on the Internet.

"You must go see this movie"

"God, this movie made me doubt God!"

"You must see it, it’s a masterpiece"

"The fighting is super exciting, but the plot is even more exciting than the fighting!"(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

When countless people choose to watch movies, they will naturally choose"The Matrix"》

《"The Matrix" seems to have become a phenomenon, a trend.

Well, it seems that was the case when The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring came out.

Those occasional negative comments can’t affect people’s enthusiasm for watching movies at all.

…………

Chicago.

In a villa.

Roger Ebert is yelling into the phone

"Damn it, Harvey, you untrustworthy bastard, we agreed on a hundred thousand dollars, but you only gave us half of it. Harvey on the other end of the phone also said angrily:

"Damn it, can you blame me for not being trustworthy? It's your movie reviews that don't work at all. Look at the popularity of"The Matrix" now. I didn't take back the $50,000 I gave you before. It's considered a kindness. Farke, are film critics useless now?!"

After saying that, Harvey hung up the phone.

But the last words Harvey said casually shocked Roger Ebert.

Is the era of film critics really over?[]

He still remembers the time when he could make a movie full of people with just one good review, and he could also make a movie no one care about it with just one negative review. It was such a wonderful era!

He was a guest of every major film company, and those people supported him, praised him, and stuffed him with money and gifts... But now, this situation is gradually disappearing.

In fact, he had been aware of it for a long time, so he became more cautious when commenting on movies, but this time- damn Harvey!!!

……

"Damn Roger!"

In the Miramax president's office, Harvey was also cursing.

Bob, who had been listening to the conversation, suddenly said:"Harvey, actually I have felt it for a long time. It seems that the influence of the film critic group is declining sharply.. Have you noticed that Meyers Films attaches great importance to the promotion of its movies on the Internet?"

"network?"

"Yes, you think about the Elf incident in The Lord of the Rings, and then you think about the flood of praise posts that appeared on the Internet after The Matrix was released.……"

"It really is?"

Harvey mused.

…………

In the peripheral shops of the Castro Theater, Zhu Jiang was almost exhausted.

Throughout the day, he saw off batch after batch of guests and never had any time to spare.

Many products have been sold out.

Even the most expensive MP3 players have been sold out, and even the prototypes have been"snatched".

Oh, and there’s also the limited-edition Neo and Trinity couple’s set, which costs $999. It was originally intended to be used in a store, but unexpectedly it was also bought by a young couple.

That man looked like a rich second generation.

Damn, I hate second-generation rich people.

Zhu Jiang is in pain and happiness

"It looks like we will need to buy more goods tomorrow."
