Chapter 295: Begin broadcasting

Miracle Commerce had established a total of four theaters with each theater having ten showing rooms and each showing room could hold four-five hundred people.Since they were beginning the broadcasts, they had to prepare everything.

First was the issue of price.

Miracle Commerce gave full sincerity and chairman Chu Tian had said that the theaters would become an even more popular entertainment venue than the brothels.It would cater to men, women, young, and old, as well it would be something everyone thought highly of.

Therefore, the price of a ticket was only twenty gold coins and it cost as low as one hundred gold coins just to reserve a seat!

Everyone simply did not dare believe this!

Was Miracle Commerce running a charity?This was simply too incredible!

Just a bit of singing and parts of plays in the Imperial City could not be bought with just this price!

Was this bit of money considered money to the aristocrats of Imperial City?

It wasn’t enough to give to beggars!

This price was something middle and lower class citizens could afford.This first movie in history had an investment of two hundred million gold coins, how could they recover this?Looking at it from the present situation, it was an impossible to achieve task!

When Miracle Commerce gave another announcement, the people realized that they had been shocked too early.

The movie showings would only be for a certain time.

Miracle Commerce would prepare setting up transfer image mirrors in their restaurants, or in the square and other public areas.This also mean that after an initial showing period, Miracle Commerce would be carrying out public broadcasts. Even the citizens of the lowest class would be able to enjoy the beauty of the theater!

What did Miracle Commerce want to do?

Did they really have too much money to burn?!

This kind of thankless job did not conform to the personality of a merchant.

Of course people had their own speculations.Some people thought that Miracle Commerce wasn’t trying to earn money with these movies.Each theater would have canned food for sale which would have a higher price compared to outside and they would try to earn back their money through these sales.

There were also some people that said that Miracle Commerce was not trying to make money at all.This was just promotion for their image transferring technology, increasing Miracle Commerce’s influence in Imperial City with the male and female leads as the main attraction.They would cause a large stir once their fame had been spread and Miracle Commerce would become famous!

There was a variety of opinions that all made sense.The movie hadn’t been shown yet, but it had attracted the attention of all the Imperial City citizens.

The first day tickets were being sold, the theater was filled with a sea of people.The over twenty thousand seats were sold in an instant and second hand tickets were being sold for four-five times the normal price.With the auction sales for reserved seats, it earned at least several tens of thousands of gold coins.

Calculating this, each showing would generate around a million gold coins and if they had eight-nine shows per day, wouldn’t that be around ten million gold coins per day?If it continued like this for a long time, they would theoretically be able to recoup their loses, but this was an impossible matter.

First, twenty thousand people a day, six hundred thousand people per month, what kind of concept was that?There were only a handful of people that went to plays in Imperial City, after all, the forms of entertainment in this era was very simple.There was no development of art, so plays were very monotonous and could not attract many people.

With Miracle Commerce’s large scale promotions, it would be incredible to have a full house for one-two days.Wanting to continue that for a month was impossible and even if it did happen, they had a limited time for sold broadcasts, so it locked the upper limit of their earnings.

No matter what perspective this was looked at from, this was a business that lost money!

Was it driving supplementary expenses?Were they using money to win the audience?Or was there another reason?

Everyone was curious and paid even more attention to the theaters!

What were they planning with this!

“This is bad, this is a bad matter!”Meng Yingying ran in like she was on fire.Her white and tender cheeks revealed a cute blush, “The royal palace has already reserved our largest theater!”

Chu Tian was stunned hearing this, “What happened?”

“I just received the royal proclamation the royal palace sent.”Meng Yingying gave the royal proclamation to Chu Tian to let him look at it, “The Southern Summer King will personally come watch the movie and wants to book all the seats for a show for ten times the price, but we have already sold the tickets!”

Nangong Yun was filled with anger, “The Southern Summer King wants to book a theater for himself, this is too overbearing!”

“The Southern Summer King has also invited several concubines, the Three Rulers, and various core members from large families to watch the show together.There are several hundred people like this and they are all high class aristocrats!”

Reservation with ten times the price?

This seemed like a lot, but it didn’t count for anything!

Miracle Commerce’s largest theater could hold over eight hundred people and a normal ticket only cost twenty gold, so what did ten times the price count for?Would Miracle Commerce be lacking in money?”

“Everyone, there’s no need to worry.This is a good thing.” Meng Qingwu was not feeling troubled and instead said with a pleasantly surprised voice, “These aristocrats are all filthy rich, if one of them books a theater, another one will book one another day and there will be no end.The Southern Summer King has invited all of them to his reservation, so this will eliminate the possibility of this happening. We need to prepare in the future to stop this from happening. Another point is that the Southern Summer King is personally coming for a show, this is a very good advertisement for us!”

She was right.

This the so called celebrity effect.If the king came to watch, how could others not come?

If the Southern Summer King liked the movie, this was a very big advertisement for Miracle Commerce.

Chu Tian nodded, “It seems like we need to improve the system.Someone wants to book a theater for only ten times the price? From now on, if anyone wants to book a theater, they need to pay two hundred times the price at least!Aren’t the aristocrats rich? We’ll let them spend enough!”

This matter caused a bit of trouble.The tickets sold to those people were taken back and their hearts were filled with complaints.However, Miracle Commerce had refunded them several times the money and the other side was also the Southern Summer King, so they could not say anything.
