Please recommend tickets and three river tickets!

    Morris theater is located in the south of Park City. Its geographical location is not very good. It is far away from the central exhibition area of Saint Denis Film Festival, where the cinemas are concentrated. It can only accommodate 150 people, and the projection equipment is very old. It can be said that the conditions are not ideal.

    Even so, Morris theater''s screening schedule is still full. During the ten days of the festival, a considerable number of films will be shown every day.

    From the conditions of the theater itself, we can also guess that the shows here are mostly small productions by unknown people.

    The screening of "fruit candy" is here. For the time being, the film has only one screening. According to the Convention of Saint Denis Film Festival, if the public praise is good, there may be additional screening.

    Just after three in the afternoon, Murphy took Paul Wilson to Morris theater.

    Before the last film was over, he said hello to the manager of the theatre and the staff of the festival organizing committee, and then stood near the gate of the theatre.

    In the slightly old billboard at the door, there are a list of films that will be shown these days, "love and madness", "poor rusky", "my city", "Long Island crush"

    Looking over the titles, Murphy has no impression.

    "There are so few people."

    Standing next to Murphy, Paul Wilson looks to the exit of the cinema. Just after the last movie, more than a dozen people come out.

    "Wasted an hour and a half..."

    "The shaking lens makes me feel sick."

    "What is the director talking about? I don''t know. "

    The audience walked by Murphy and it was easy to see from the comments that they were very dissatisfied with the film just now.

    Murphy looked at these people and shook his head. They were all ordinary people, and there was no buyer in them.

    The end of the previous movie also means that the screening of "fruit candy" is about to start. Murphy stood at the gate of the cinema and watched it for a long time. It was sad to find that no audience entered.

    He was not surprised that the venue was remote, the film was unknown, there was basically no publicity, and it was shown in the prime time in the middle of the afternoon rather than in the evening.

    Murphy remained calm. Paul Wilson''s anxiety had been written on his face. He kept walking around the door, complaining that the cinema arranged for them by the organizer was far away from the central exhibition area.

    "Paul, be quiet." Murphy went up the steps of the entrance to the cinema and looked back. "You make me dizzy."

    The theater is so quiet that it''s impossible to say that he''s not worried, but Murphy''s mind is still clear enough. It''s normal for no one to pay attention to a movie like this. It''s abnormal if the audience swarms in.

    He took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. It was nearly half an hour before the show started. The professional viewers and buyers bill Rossi contacted with him should be coming soon.

    At the corner of the street, a few people came to the front door of the cinema from far to near. They did not look at Murphy standing at the door, but went directly into the cinema. The cinema was not completely ignored. In the following ten minutes, four or five people came into the front door behind him.

    It''s almost the same with the last one. By the time of screening, there will be about a dozen audiences.

    With 15 minutes to go before the show, Murphy took out his mobile phone again to watch the time. Finally, two taxis turned around the corner of the street. The taxi soon came to the front of the cinema. Just as it stopped, Bill Rossi got out of the front co driver''s seat and opened the rear door.

    Paul Wilson had a good look. When Murphy came down the steps, he came from behind and strode to the car behind him. He opened the door like Bill rosis.

    Murphy showed a professional smile, but his eyes quickly swept over the three strangers who got out of the two cars.

    The first person to come down from Bill rosis was a middle-aged man with a little bald forehead and a pair of round eyes on the bridge of his nose. At first glance, he looked like an old-fashioned professional accountant.

    Behind him was a 30-year-old man with brown split hair. His body in a suit smelled of Cologne. Even at a distance, Murphy could smell it.

    There was only one person on the back of the taxi, a black man with long curly hair. Judging from his appearance, he was about 30 years old.

    Murphy went down the steps, and they just came by. Bill rosis took the initiative to introduce them to each other.

    The middle-aged man with a little bald forehead is Joel Graham, from harbor entertainment company; the Gulongshui man is Beck lassent, a professional film watcher of Castle stone film industry; the black woman is the most popular, and the buyer of Miramax film industry is Jones Butler.

    They''re the guests bill rosis invited.

    Now Murphy has no capital, shake hands with them one by one, take the initiative to lead the way, and lead the group into the screening hall.

    The projection hall, which can seat 150 people, is quite empty. In the middle rows, there are more than a dozen audiences scattered.Murphy took them to a row of seats specially reserved for the cinema and politely said, "please have a seat."

    The three men just nodded to him, but said nothing.

    In particular, the black man named Jones Butler never said anything except hello.

    After she sat down, she didn''t mean to talk to others. As a buyer from Miramax film, she could see such a film more because she had a little friendship with Bill rosis. Otherwise, such a film without any previous work director could not arouse her interest.

    The other two are not much better. In this circle, distributors are at the top of the food chain. Especially for investors, producers or directors of small film projects, they naturally have an advantage.

    This kind of contempt and arrogance is not deliberately revealed, but a very natural situation.

    Murphy can see it, but he doesn''t care. This is an extremely realistic circle. If you want to be respected by others, you need to have the strength to be respected.

    "Can they see our film?" After all, Paul Wilson is a student who hasn''t left school yet. He can''t help but come up to Murphy''s ear and whisper, "it seems that they all disdain."

    Murphy shrugged. "I don''t know."

    Bill rosis sat with the three men, but his eyes would turn to Murphy''s side from time to time. Seeing Murphy''s calm face, he nodded to himself.

    This rookie director''s calmness and tenacity are really rare among young people.

    When the light on the ceiling goes out and the screen lights up, Jones Butler habitually takes out his pen and notebook to record the possible selling points of a film, which is the basic quality of a film buyer.
