Chapter 1570 1570 One ticket is hard to get
Sally Hansen trotted all the way toward the ticket-buying window of the cinema. Jessica Hansen followed not far behind her, feeling out of breath. Although Jessica wanted to say that the cinema was there and could not run away anywhere, and there was no need to worry, looking at her daughter's excited back, Jessica still swallowed her words into her stomach.
After Sally entered the cinema, she saw the so-called queue of people queuing, not a team of only three or five people, but a long long dragon. Looking roughly, even the fewest teams had at least thirty people queuing, and there were definitely more than one team at the scene. At least five queues could be seen in sight. This made Sally frown and stamp her feet with annoyance.
"Sally, here, I'm here." Seeing Sally's petite figure, a calm man's voice sounded, "Hey, sweetheart, I'm here." Sally looked at the sound and immediately smiled, shouting "Dad" excitedly while running over.
The man in front of him was Sally's father, Robin Hanson (Robi n.hanson). Robin half-squatted down and gave his daughter a big hug, "Where is your mother? Where has she been?" Robin gently touched his daughter's forehead and looked around worriedly.
"She's right behind." Sally turned around and pointed, and then saw Jessica waved and greeted him from afar, which made Sally and Robin feel at ease. Sally turned her head and asked anxiously, "Dad, are there any tickets here? Will we not be able to buy tickets here?"
"Sally, believe me, no matter what method is used, my mother and I will let you in and watch this movie. We all know that you are Hugo's most loyal fan." Robin looked at his daughter with a doting expression, with a gentle smile on his face.
Sally smiled brightly, "I am a member of the young volcano!" This made Robin chuckled and nodded. Sally couldn't wait to say, "Keira called me the day before yesterday and told me that she, Melelene, Joshua and the others watched this movie together. When I heard their excited voices, I couldn't help but feel excited. So, Dad, I must see this movie, sure!"
Faced with his daughter's spoiledness and pleading, Robin was not impatient at all. He touched his daughter's slightly boring hair, his eyes slightly darkened, and then cheered up and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your wish! Believe me, okay?"
At this time, Jessica also rushed up, and she exchanged sight with her husband, and the two of them felt a little relieved. Last week, Sally was sick and hospitalized, so she missed the premiere of "Independence Day" and the first week of the movie, which made Sally very sad. In the past few days, the news about "Independence Day" has been broadcasting on TV, which has become the only thing Sally cares about in the hospital.
However, from yesterday to today, they have traveled to seven theaters in San Francisco. All the movie tickets before this Sunday have been sold. This is simply unbelievable. You should know that "Independence Day" was released in a total of 3,200 theaters, which is the largest screening scale in history. However, in the huge San Francisco, there is no movie theater with remaining tickets, which shows the popularity of the movie.
It is hard to find a ticket, so it is not surprising that such a thing occurs in the preview of "Death Prison Walking"; but it is simply a fantasy to appear in the "Independence Day" released on a large scale.
But that's the case. Hansen and his wife felt the craze with their practical actions. The whole of San Francisco was crazy about "Independence Day". Just now, Robin came to this amc in advance to queue up, while Jessica took Sally to another Cinemark theater to see if there were any remaining tickets. Now it seems that Jessica and Sally returned empty-handed.
Originally, they put all their hopes on this amc, because the location where this amc is located is relatively remote, and it is not easy to drive there. Moreover, the parking lot is a little farther away, and the passenger flow will be slightly lower. The reason why they think this way is because the Royal Entertainment Group, Amc Cinemas, etc. in the city are all sold on Sundays. I heard that under the strong request of the audience, the movie tickets for next week have begun to be pre-sale in advance.
Today's "San Francisco Chronicle" even reported that Royal Entertainment Group and Amc Cinemas are holding an emergency meeting to discuss with 20th Century Fox to add "Independence Day" screens, and to allocate the screens of "different innocence" and give "Independence Day" more space. Such a grand occasion, even the leaders of North American theaters could not have expected it.
But when he came to this amc, Robin couldn't help but feel sank, because the long queue in front of him seemed to indicate that their journey would continue. As far as he saw and heard in the past half hour, almost all the audience in line came for "Independence Day".
However, Robin looked at his daughter in front of him and took a deep breath to cheer up. No matter how difficult the movie tickets were to be bought, he would allow Sally to realize this wish. What's more, "Independence Day" is a commercial movie, and its tickets cannot be bought, all it takes is patience.
Sally stood next to the ticket desk, watching anxiously as the customers who were coming one after another. Everyone, without exception, were buying tickets for "Independence Day". At this time, a young boy who walked up to the ticket seller also said to the ticket seller, "Good morning, are there any tickets for "Independence Day" this morning?"
Although Sally was worried that she would still not see "Independence Day" today, she was extremely happy at this moment, because it was hard to get tickets for "Independence Day". What does this mean? It means that Hugo has achieved success again, and it was an incredible and huge success. As a young volcano, Sally hopes to see such a scene more than anyone else.
"Hello, we have no tickets for the 'Independence Day' in the morning. You can watch the 'different innocence', 'Mission Impossible' and 'Brave the Deadly Island, do you need it?" the ticket seller politely answered.
The boy frowned and said disappointedly, "This is the third theater I went to this morning, God!" Then he let out a long sigh and shook his head depressedly, "What about the afternoon? I mean, 'Independence Day'."
"I'm very sorry, there are only late tickets left for the 'Independence Day', and there are tickets for the event at 10:15." The ticket seller's answer immediately made the boy's face look bright, "No problem, give me three!" The boy replied energetic.
The boy's eyes were in contact with Sally, and Sally showed a bright smile. The boy couldn't help but be stunned, and then he also showed a big smile at Sally, as if the whole world was lit up.
After another twenty minutes of waiting, it was Robin's turn. He glanced at Sally, who was looking forward to it next to him, and couldn't wait to ask, "I need three tickets for Independence Day, and the latest one can be done at any time."
The ticket seller looked down and said with a look of embarrassment, "Sorry, today's tickets have been sold out, and the fastest one is only 8:15 am tomorrow." This is simply unimaginable. In less than twenty minutes, today's tickets were sold out again. The box office driving ability of "Independence Day" has reached a terrifying level. You must know that no one is willing to come here at this theater. Amc even considered whether to cancel this theater!
Robin looked at his daughter, "Sally, what do you think?"
Sally wanted to nod and agreed, but at first she considered that the geographical location here was too remote, so it took them an hour and a half to drive there. In order to find the movie tickets within this week, they didn't think much about it and found them all the way. But now the movie tickets are right in front of her, Sally hesitated instead. Should she ask her parents to drive here tomorrow?
Robin seemed to understand her concerns from the expression on his daughter's face. He gently patted his daughter's head, "Sally, Dad really wants to watch this movie. Will you come with Dad tomorrow?"
Sally looked at the pampering on her father's face, but couldn't help but pause. Robin seemed to understand what Sally meant and stood up, "Please give me three pictures, it's 8:15 tomorrow."
The ticket seller smiled and nodded, and immediately started to operate. Robin smiled and said to Sally, "Believe me, you will like this movie." It was as if he really wanted to watch "Independence Day".
At this moment, the ticket seller stopped his movements, "Oh, sir, I have three tickets here now for 11:15 this morning. Do you need them?" This made Robin stunned. The ticket seller quickly explained, "Someone came here to apply for a refund just now. He hoped to come and watch again on Sunday..."
"Okay, just give it to me!" Robin rushed to speak without waiting for the ticket seller to explain. Before Robin could finish his speech, he heard the ticket seller at the counter next door say, "Sorry, those three tickets have been out." Then he heard a depressed sigh.
If you tell others that you have to grab tickets when watching a commercial movie in the United States, Robin would definitely think it is a big joke. But today, Robin is experiencing this incident personally. Perhaps, they are uniting to create an incredible history.
Robin took the three tickets from the ticket seller, waved at Sally, and then saw the extremely bright smile on Sally's face. The sick look that had not completely disappeared in Sally's eyes was covered by the dazzling light at this moment, which made Robin show an extremely happy smile: as long as he could see his daughter's beautiful smile, he would not change it to the whole world.
The Hansen family’s ticket buying matter is just a microcosm of the ordinary and ordinary thing on the entire North American continent. From the media comprehensive evaluation to the theater scores, from the support of major theaters to the endless enthusiasm of the audience, the movie “Independence Day” is creating unbelievable records. Things that seem to only happen in fantasy have now become reality one by one. In the summer of 1996, the pace of history is moving forward step by step with a visible and personal attitude.
