The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 851 - 850. The tickets have been obtained.
Chapter 851: 850. The tickets have been obtained.
Just one night has passed, and the play "The Factory" has become familiar to millions of netizens.
When a new day broke and the sun rose, the ’unmissable details in the play’ suddenly shot up the Weibo hot search, and whenever netizens opened the hot search list, the first thing they discovered was the reposts by big names in the entertainment industry.
"Teacher Ke rarely posts on Weibo, and he did it for a play?"
"Master Yan and Best Actor Qiao also reposted, and the lead actor in the play is Tang Shu!"
"It feels like half of the entertainment industry’s stars are endorsing this play, could it really be that good?"
"Oh my gosh, are they hyping the story up to the heavens?"
While the uninformed netizens expressed their confusion, there was also a group of people sneakily opening the ticket-buying app, trying to purchase a ticket to see what the fuss was about, only to be shocked to find that tickets for the next month were all sold out.
"What the heck, what’s going on, can someone tell me?"
"Is this the legendary hunger marketing strategy, is the theater planning to reopen ticket sales sometime in the next few days?"
"According to the rules of marketing, that’s indeed the case, with half of the entertainment industry’s stars backing it, they’re definitely encouraging us to buy tickets and watch."
Since they want to encourage consumption, of course, there has to be enough tickets for people to purchase, but now there are none, clearly, they are holding back a big move!
Although Tang Shu’s fans numbered fifty million, they were still a minority in the vast country, with many more netizens completely unaware of this.
Holding these thoughts, and curious about the story, netizens also followed Imperial Capital’s First Theater’s official Weibo and kept refreshing for official news. As a matter of fact, they didn’t have to wait too long for an update, which came around noon that day.
However, the content of the post surprised everyone.
"What do you mean there are really no tickets for the next month? Is this really the official Weibo? Haven’t I followed the wrong account?"
"I thought they might announce the reopening of the ticket channel or something?"
"Upstairs, this Weibo post has just shut down what you said, and shut it down tight."
It’s impossible for an official Weibo to say there are no tickets one minute, and then suddenly say there are the next—that would be like slapping their own face.
People gradually realized this fact—that the tickets were really gone.
"Well, this play called "The Factory" just got on the hot search today, and already all the tickets are sold out? Why do I find that so hard to believe!"
"As a top salesperson, I kind of don’t understand this move, can someone explain?"
Just in time, the loyal fans of Tang Shu came forward in the comments section to show off their play tickets.
And indeed, there were pictures to prove it.
"Got my ticket, didn’t have to spend a dime. Yes! I’m one of those 500 lucky fans, muahaha~~~~"

"Got my ticket +1, paid out of my own pocket, but it feels so good to spend!"

"Got my ticket, finally spending Silver for my idol for the first time ever, it hasn’t been easy!"

...
To prevent their tickets from being stolen, the dedicated fans specifically mosaic’ed the photos when uploading them, only revealing the upper lip with the performance date and other words for "The Factory".
Initially, the appearance of these photos didn’t mean much, but when tens of thousands of images appeared all at once, other netizens finally got the hint and a sour liquid began to well up from the bottom of their hearts.
