Of course, guests can also order meals individually from the menu in the hotel room at lunch or dinner. The ordering that requires payment is the same as in an ordinary hotel.

The large canteen and the small canteen are all basic configurations.

The variety of breakfast buffets here in the capital is quite good, but the buffet catering for extra meals in the evening is more of the same... People from all over the world gather in the capital, and the taste preferences of different places are different.

The theater department manager was even more surprised, "How much does a night shift cost?"

Mr. Du took a cigarette and lit it, "We are studying whether it is 1.5 times or twice the shift salary. Also, this requires a temporary worker system..."

The theater department manager was trembling with excitement, "Double the class salary? Damn it, Lao Du, what you said makes me want my boss to come here to work as a temporary worker."

The monthly salary of a first-level official employee in Beijing is 200 yuan. How much does it cost to work a day's work? 7 yuan? No, take the upcoming October as an example. The three major festivals of National Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Double Ninth Festival theoretically have four or five days.

Holidays, then four weekends and eight days off.

Counting it all together in October, every Wanjia employee has more than ten days of holidays!

It's just that on the day of the holiday, there will be a systematic adjustment of days off. You go to work today and take a day off to relax after the holiday.

In October, Wanjia employees theoretically only have 17 or 18 working days, working eight hours a day, and earning a monthly salary of 200 yuan... The average daily salary for a single working day is more than 10 yuan.

So if the relatives of Wanjia employees who come to take advantage of the heating and air-conditioning benefits at night can serve as temporary security guards to maintain order, it will cost 15 yuan or 20 yuan for a single shift? And there will be free meal subsidies?

If you work ten night shifts, you can earn more than if you work one month's shift in many large factories.

A night shift costs 15 or 20 yuan, which is 150 or 200 yuan for ten days, which is far greater than the monthly salary of many large companies.

The theater department manager originally gave up his position as a cadre with salary from a public theater and took a leave of absence without pay to change jobs. He also belongs to the leadership level and started as a third-level worker.

But of his three children, the eldest and second child all graduated or dropped out of school and are currently unemployed!

Manager Du smiled bitterly, "With such good treatment, you are not the only one who wants to be a temporary security guard. I have been pestered by a group of relatives recently..."

The manager of the theater department was excited, yes, such great benefits? Not just the closest blood relatives who can take care of a family of several people??

Manager Du took a puff of cigarette again and sighed, "Don't worry, when the plan is officially finalized and ready, temporary security guards will be needed for the morning shift and the middle shift during the day. Without a circle of relatives with a good job, as long as there are good guys, it should be possible

Arrange a lot of people."

"Our family circle of thousands of families, including Boss Tie's family circle at this stage, can't compare to our welfare."

The more holidays, weekends, etc., the more people take a break and the more people take vacations. At this time, it is only 1987, and people are lacking in entertainment options. Watching movies on the fourth floor of Wanjia is the most fashionable project.

Come across a good movie that the whole family can watch together...

Of course it will explode.

This is why a complex with a straight-up and straight-down elevator room that only connects to the cinema on the fourth floor has six large elevators.

For example, branches in the bustling areas of Beijing, Shanghai, and Yangcheng usually have eight straight-up and straight-down elevators working together.

As soon as the cinema chain opened, more than 300 thousand branches would be invisibly recruited, and the number of security staff would double.

In the past, a store had two to three hundred direct employees, and each security guard has been expanded to 50 people. In order to cope with the need for air conditioning and heating, and to further contribute to the welfare of the citizens, I am afraid that each store will have to recruit dozens or hundreds of temporary security guards.

………………

A new day has arrived.

In the theater area on the fourth floor, Manager Du and the theater manager looked at the large number of people leaving one after another. They were a little bit dumbfounded because many people were leaving with their luggage.

They even saw people working in the public rest area at four or five o'clock in the morning, sitting on the ground and spreading documents and other things on the floor, while cups of free boiled water and strong tea were constantly refilled.

When daybreak comes, just clean up, go wash up, go up to the fifth floor to have breakfast, or eat snacks outside, and that's it.

This is the first night of the trial operation of the theater, and that’s it. It’s conceivable that as the trend sweeps across, more and more people will use this place as a free hotel.

Manager Du once again lamented, "I've seen too many people laying floors in large hospitals. I never dreamed that supermarkets could do this..."

"Let's go down to the first floor and have some food. The war officially begins today!!"

…………

At around 6 p.m. on the 29th, Brother Gao, his short-legged Gao Yuanyuan, and a group of young people from the family home ran to Wanjia to watch a movie.

After a hard day, school is finally over.

When we rushed to the fourth floor, we queued up to buy tickets in a large crowd... Finally bought our own movie tickets. Brother Gao looked devastated, "How can we not sell standing tickets?"

"How can we not sell standing tickets? I can watch it standing or sitting in the aisle."

Gao Yuanyuan said excitedly, "What time is it, what time is it?"

Brother Gao even collapsed, "What time is it? Tickets are available at 9 a.m. on October 1st!"

Xiao Yuanyuan was dumbfounded, "The day after tomorrow?? This is also..."

The officially opened Wanjia Cinema Line does not allow people to stand or sit in the aisles to watch, and only sells a few tickets for the few seats available. It is really true. Waiting for you to come and buy tickets on the spot, just one day passes, Jurassic Movie

Movie tickets in the park are not sold out until a few days later.

The reason for this is because today is a working day!

If it’s a big holiday, you’ll probably be scheduled four or five days later.

"Let's go downstairs and play. When you've had enough, go home and finish your homework and wait for the holidays. I bought six tickets in one go and the whole family can watch it together."

The Gao family's father and mother who carry the banner are also people with a monthly salary of one to two hundred or more in key units. Six movie tickets only cost one yuan and eighty cents, which is easily affordable.

Then, a group of friends were walking, and people on all floors could be heard cheering and commenting on the movie (Jurassic Park).

“It’s so shocking!”

"After watching the movie, I was dumbfounded. I was dumbfounded throughout the entire movie."

"It's incredible. Those dinosaurs were so real, I was so scared that I thought there were real prehistoric monsters resurrected."

"I watched the first show at 8 o'clock in the morning. After watching it, I wanted to buy a ticket to watch it again, but the ticket I bought was already for 10 o'clock tonight. Damn it, it sold out too fast!"

"Hey, you have a 10 o'clock movie ticket in your hand? Brother, I'll pay fifty cents, how about selling it to me?"

"Man, I'll pay you sixty cents! I can't wait to see this movie!"

………………

Along the way, Brother Gao was shocked again, "Holy shit, you can still get scalper tickets for watching a movie?"

He suddenly discovered that the six tickets he bought were sold in the morning on the National Day holiday, and the time around 9 o'clock was perfect...

It is estimated that when the tickets are sold, they may cost more than just a few cents per ticket.

………………

The sun shines on a new day.

When Azhen left with Tao Guo in her mouth and full of knowledge, Zhang Min came over in confusion and said, "Boss, the data feels a little wrong. Jurassic Park was released in the mainland yesterday, and the box office for the whole day was just over one million yuan?"

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "It's normal, there's nothing wrong with it, because our theater chain hasn't been fully rolled out yet."

Kung Fu Panda was released in public theaters and made a box office of 120 million yuan or 200 million in one or two months. Although there are no accurate and detailed statistics and endorsements, it still represents hundreds of millions of moviegoers.

But the biggest source of this data is the screening model of public theater chains moving to rural areas!

Not to mention that almost every county has public theaters where people can watch movies. Even in towns and villages, there are projectionists riding bicycles to show movies.

What about Wanjia? There are more than 300 branches and 2,000 big screens. The first show started at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, and the venues were full. It is said that the movie tickets were sold until the National Day holiday.

Scalpers have appeared.

But this is also the case in Beijing Shangyang, the mountain city Tianmen, the provincial capitals plus Bianliang, Luoyi and other cities, urban areas or urban-rural fringe areas, which contribute four to five million movie-going purchasing power a day.

Four to five million people a day, equivalent to 90% of Hong Kong's total population, went to see it.

If you calculate based on the ticket price of a movie in Hong Kong, the box office on the first day is HKD 60 million to HKD 75 million, but a movie ticket in the Mainland is only 30 cents, which is more than 1 million yuan.

In the Mainland, this is... Take Henan Province as an example. Among the more than ten prefecture-level cities, only the provincial capital, Bianliang and Luoyi have thousands of branches. The total number of branches is only a dozen.

Those three cities also contributed hundreds of thousands of box office visits in one day, but the number of hundreds of thousands was just a drizzle compared to the huge base in Henan Province. Too many people didn't want to watch it, but they had no place to watch it.

"Don't overestimate the initial data, but look at the long-term. It was more than one million yesterday, and it will definitely still be more than one million today. Maybe one month later, it will still contribute more than one million box office every day. After two months, the official data will be

There is hope that it will exceed 100 million.”

Yesterday, there were more than one million, four to five million people watching the movie. It opened at 8 o'clock and there were only 7 shows in the whole day.

And starting from today, the 30th, there will be 11 screenings in 24 hours a day. You said in the middle of the night... In the second half of the night, there are so many people going to Beijing from Tiannanhai to the north, using Wanjia Cinema as a free hotel.

.

Those people will be the main moviegoers between 0:00 and 8:00 am.

Zhang Min suddenly realized, "So that's it. I understand. The initial data is a bit low and not as good as expected. It will be easier to shock people's hearts by showing the data in the newspaper after a month of screening."

In the past, the box office performance of mainland theaters lacked detailed and authoritative statistics, which caused the Hong Kong film industry to not pay enough attention and care to the mainland market.

But once the official and accurate statistics of Wanjia Cinemas came out, Zhao Films was really able to bring back the box office money after paying taxes.

If we aim at the big mainland market in the future, there will definitely be countless followers.

They can't keep up with epoch-making big productions like (Jurassic Park), but ordinary comedy kung fu movies can also make money, and that's enough.

………………

Beijing.
