Chapter 1366: Who has tickets? Sell them to me, I'll pay ten times the price!!!

First, three shocking trailers came out one after another, immediately attracting the attention of all of Japan...

Then came the sudden silence of the preview; not only did they not hold a media press conference, but even the specific plot was kept secret...

While leaving people confused, they used scattered information from critics and senior reporters who watched the preview—"shocking," "once in a century," "explosive," "you'll regret it for a lifetime if you don't watch it"—to stir up the public's curiosity!

Like a clever fisherman, first baiting the water crazily, then setting the hook and pulling gently, constantly enticing... finally making the big fish underwater unable to resist biting the hook!!

After a week of brewing, the premiere of *Jurassic Park* finally opened on March 12th!!!

Subway stations, bus stops, commercial buildings, department store plazas... Besides the advertisements on various channels that started two days ago, what was even more surprising was the big-budget advertisement by Tree Friend Film in the newspapers!

Starting early in the morning, the newspapers delivered to every household in Japan had the poster of *Jurassic Park* printed on two full pages, one front and one back.

One was a Brachiosaurus in the dense forest, the other was a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex, which happened to echo the two trailers, and in the middle of the poster was the important news—"*Jurassic Park* premieres today!"

This immediately grabbed the attention of everyone in Japan!

You have to know, this era was the peak period of print media, and almost every household in Japan read newspapers... The advertising fees naturally rose with the tide...

And to book two pages of advertising space in such newspapers, it wasn't just money that could do it; what was more important was the relationship with major media!

Inadvertently, Tree Friend displayed its powerful connections in the entertainment industry!

It happened to be Saturday, and many people who had been busy for a week were thinking of taking advantage of this holiday to have a good time.

In this era, there weren't many entertainment methods, and after seeing the morning newspaper, besides the audience who had originally planned to watch the movie, more people were attracted to the cinema!

Watanabe Sorachi, a young man from Yao City, happened to want to go on a date with his girlfriend on the weekend, and passing by the cinema, he naturally wanted to watch a movie~

"*Jurassic Park* premieres today, I heard it's very shocking... Shall we go watch it!!"

Watanabe Sorachi asked his girlfriend, Ito Kyoka.

In this era, Japanese women had a high level of acceptance for new things, and Ito Kyoka was also very curious about a monster movie with dinosaurs as the protagonists:

"Okay, but can we buy tickets now?"

"We can buy tickets for the evening... Let's watch it after playing during the day!"

Watanabe Sorachi finally squeezed to the ticket window along the ticket-buying queue and shouted loudly:

"Please give me two tickets for *Jurassic Park*!"

"Sumimasen, the tickets are sold out!"

"What? Sold out already?"

Watanabe Sorachi immediately said loudly,

"I want the evening ones... Midnight ones are also fine!"

"Sorry, the tickets are sold out!"

The ticket seller had a cold face, as if they had answered this kind of question many times,

"Today's, tomorrow's, and even next Monday's tickets are all sold out!!"

"Ha?!"

Watanabe Sorachi was stunned; you have to know that Yao City was just a small city next to Osaka, and the cinema had never had tickets sold out for several consecutive days!

"Do you want to change to another movie? There are others..."

"This..."

Watanabe Sorachi, unable to decide for a moment, shook his head and returned to the corner of the lobby, telling his girlfriend about the situation.

"What? Even next Monday is gone?!"

The weekend is one thing, but Monday is a workday!

"Yeah, didn't expect it to be so popular... Might have to postpone it..."

Just when the young couple was sighing, suddenly a face that looked very clever leaned over:

"You two... want to buy tickets but didn't get any?!"

"......."

Watanabe Sorachi was stunned for a moment, blocking his girlfriend behind him,

"You... what do you do?"

"Hehehe~ I am naturally a kind citizen who helps people in trouble!"

The stranger laughed happily,

"I have tickets for *Jurassic Park* here? Of course, they are a bit more expensive, do you want them?"

"!!!"

In Yao City, this small city, because of a movie, scalpers actually appeared!!!

"How much more expensive?"

"Ten times for this afternoon, five times for tomorrow, three times for the day after tomorrow!"

Watanabe Sorachi screamed:

"!!! Are you robbing people!"

"Haha, robbing people isn't as fast as selling tickets!"

The scalper's face showed a smile again,

"These are welfare tickets, the seats are very good!! There aren't many left, just say if you want them or not!!"

"......"

Just when he was struggling for a few seconds, a voice suddenly came from the side:

"Who has tickets? Sell them to me, I'll pay ten times the price!!!"

It was other people who hadn't bought tickets wanting to buy from others!!

The scalper heard this and immediately said:

"Please wait a moment, I have some here..."

And Watanabe Sorachi here also immediately spoke up,

"I want them too! For this morning!"

"Eh... that's right! Dating a girlfriend, you have to be generous!"

"One ticket is 500 yen, two tickets are 1000 yen, ten times is exactly 10,000 yen!"

The scalper nimbly took the tickets out of his pocket,

"Come, come, come, pay and get the goods!"

"......."

Although making money wasn't difficult in this era, when handing over the Shotoku Taishi, Watanabe Sorachi still felt extreme heartache!

Kisama!

If this movie didn't meet his expectations, he would definitely call the newspaper to complain!!!

Similar situations appeared in various cities, and the phenomenon of *Jurassic Park* being hard to get tickets for even attracted the attention of the media.

Some reporters prepared to come and interview ticket buyers, as well as the first batch of viewers, preparing to write a report and report it directly in the evening newspaper that day!

After finishing lunch and strolling around a bit, Watanabe Sorachi brought his girlfriend, Ito Kyoka, to the cinema, checked the tickets on time, and entered the packed screening hall.

At this time, Watanabe Sorachi was actually holding back his anger; he spent ten times the ticket price!

Although he knew this had nothing to do with Nagayama Naoki's movie and was purely because of the scalpers, he couldn't help but blame this matter on Nagayama Naoki...

"Although the trailer was good... but those were the highlights, the actual quality of the movie might be a level lower..."

When the lights dimmed, he was still whispering to Ito Kyoka in his seat,

"I wonder if Nagayama Naoki's big name will also collapse, so we have to take a good look..."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and watch the movie!"

Ito Kyoka was getting impatient, and Watanabe Sorachi then shut up.

The lights slowly dimmed, the big screen in front slowly lit up, and with a blast in the tunnel, the movie officially began!

Watanabe Sorachi looked at the excavation team finding the mosquito amber in the opening, curling his lips:

"Just an average opening..."

One minute into the movie, when Tanaka Yuko went to the wild archaeological site to find Harrison for an evaluation...

"The dinosaur fossils are a bit interesting, the rest are average..."

When everyone took a helicopter to Jurassic Park, the bustling port town and the various dinosaur exhibition halls...

"This set is very realistic, the town doesn't look fake... It's like the real thing..."

When Tanaka Yuko and Harrison came to the lakeside in an off-road vehicle and saw the Brachiosaurus gnawing on the tender leaves on the branches...

"WTF?!"

His girlfriend, Ito Kyoka, couldn't help but whisper in surprise:

"The cinema is even more realistic than the trailer!!"

Then came the scenes of various small dinosaurs running, more Brachiosaurus...

"WTF?! My god!!!"

The injured Triceratops appeared...

"WTF?! It's breathing! Its eyes are turning!!"

Velociraptor sneak attack...

"Run!!"

Tyrannosaurus Rex breaks out of the cage!!

"Ah!!!!"

In the deep night forest, being chased by the Tyrannosaurus Rex...

"Ah!!!"

"......"

In the cinema screening hall, gasps and shouts came one after another!

At first, they were shocked by the dinosaur ecology in Jurassic Park, those living behemoths and small dinosaurs... Each one seemed like a living life, completely without the stiffness of other movies!

Later, as the storm destroyed the park's facilities, the dinosaurs rioted, and after that, it was thriller and gripping!

When the two children were attacked by the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the entire screening hall was scared into howling together!!

The mood of all the audience followed the development of the plot, like a roller coaster, constantly rising and falling!

And in the giant screen hall of the Bungeiza in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, the eyes of all the audience were tightly grabbed by the big screen, and even their breathing lightened a bit; the popcorn and cola they brought in were not taken out by anyone to enjoy at this time.

"Careful!!"

"Tyrannosaurus Rex!!!"

"Run!!!"

When Tanaka Yuko on the screen was attacked by the Velociraptor, almost everyone couldn't help but scream!

Everyone seemed to be running for their lives with the protagonist of the plot!

This is the effect of the giant screen!

Making the audience more immersive, the dinosaurs in the movie seemed like they could rush out of the big screen in the next second...

"Careful, there's still a Velociraptor!!!" "Step on the gas!!" "Run, run, run!!" "....."

In the museum, when the Tyrannosaurus Rex bit the chasing Velociraptor and threw it against the wall, smashing it into meat paste, it actually made the audience feel a sense of redemption!

At this time, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was full of dominance, actually like a hero descending from the sky... making the audience produce a sense of trust while watching? Or perhaps Stockholm syndrome?

"Roar!!!"

However, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was still a carnivorous dinosaur after all; in the roaring sound full of threats, the male lead, Harrison, still took Tanaka Yuko and hurriedly escaped...

Until the end, when the protagonist group arrived at the helicopter, the owner of the company behind *Jurassic Park* looked at everything on the island, seemingly reflecting on his own actions...

In the lobby of Yao City, the door of the screening hall opened, and the sound of applause faintly came out... Then a batch of audience members walked out of the screening hall one after another...

At this time, everyone's face was full of shock, and some were still talking to the people next to them.

Watanabe Sorachi and his girlfriend, Ito Kyoka, were also among them; at this time, Watanabe Sorachi's face was full of excitement, mixed with a trace of lingering fear:

"Too shocking!!! Ten times? A hundred times the ticket price is worth watching!!"

"Kyoka-chan, shall we watch it again? I really want to watch it again!!!"

"I heard Jurassic Park really exists, shall we go see it together next time we have a holiday?!"

"......"

Ito Kyoka was originally still savoring the plot of *Jurassic Park*, but it was dispelled by her boyfriend's chattering!

"Okay, okay... let's go to the park together..."

Just at this time, a reporter holding a microphone actually leaned over:

"Excuse me, are you two audience members who just watched *Jurassic Park*? Can you talk about your thoughts?!"

Watanabe Sorachi on the side grabbed the microphone and stared at the camera lens that followed, excitedly saying:

"It's great! I said it's great, do you know?!!"

"This is definitely the best movie of the year! I said it!!"

"All the praise about this movie before was all true!!!"

"You must come to the cinema to watch it!!! It's too shocking!!!"

The reporter finally grabbed the microphone back, resisting the urge to punch Watanabe Sorachi, and continued the interview with professional quality:

"Sir, we truly felt your thoughts on the movie!"

"It's great!!!"

"Hmm, hmm... may I ask when you decided to come watch it?"

"I didn't have any thoughts originally, I saw the ad in the newspaper this morning!"

Ito Kyoka on the side said,

"Then we came over..."

"So that's how it is... An impromptu decision!" The reporter nodded, "Are there any tickets left?"

"None, none for three consecutive days!"

Ito Kyoka continued to shake her head,

"But we bought welfare tickets from an intermediary..."

Watanabe Sorachi hurriedly grabbed the microphone and interrupted:

"Ten times!! Ten times the price! But one word... worth it!!"

"Hai, hai..."

The reporter protected the microphone in his hand again,

"So you bought them from an intermediary... May I ask if you can point out that person? We want to interview him..."

"This... that's not very good..."

Ito Kyoka shook her head, feeling that her simple moral values didn't allow it...

But Watanabe Sorachi on the side immediately pointed to the scalper in the corner and said:

"It's him!!!"

"......."

Immediately after, the scalper was targeted by the interview team!

There were many similar interviews in major cities; many media outlets waited at the cinema entrance on the first day of the premiere, just wanting to know the specific information about the movie as soon as possible.

Some TV stations even did live broadcasts, directly inserting them into the noon news that day... The popularity of *Jurassic Park* had already become political news!

And almost all the interviewed audience revealed one piece of information!

"Too shocking!" "You must come and watch it!" "I want to watch it again!!" "...."

When it came to specific plots, the audience talked about the plots that left the deepest impression on them.

"Of course, it's the first time I saw the Brachiosaurus! It was much more realistic than the trailer when watching it in the cinema!!!"

"It should be the lifelike dinosaur ecology... Herbivores, carnivores, and the situation of the habitat... It feels like everything was considered!"

"It's definitely the appearance of the Tyrannosaurus Rex! That kind of oppression... I almost peed myself!"

"The Velociraptors are even more ferocious!! That's the feeling of a predator... fierce and cunning!"

"The plot is also very attractive! At first, it was surprise and shock, and afterward, it was thriller and tension!"

"It makes people reflect... Does technology have to comply with ethics... Is it really good to bring dinosaurs from the Jurassic era to the present?!"

"There isn't really a *Jurassic Park* waiting to open in reality, right?! Is Nagayama Naoki filming this to test the waters?"

"......."

Each audience member expressed their views from their own perspective; these viewpoints quickly expanded to all levels of Japan through TV stations, media, and discussions among friends.

"The Brachiosaurus's neck is too long..." "Actually, some dinosaurs are ovoviviparous, like sharks!"

"I wonder if dinosaur meat is delicious..." "Gene cloning, it can work!" "The next step should be cloning humans, right?!"

"The special effects are awesome!!" "Invincible!" "....."

Everyone was discussing *Jurassic Park*, from adults to children, from Brachiosaurus to Tyrannosaurus Rex, from dinosaur eggs to gene technology, from viewing experience to special effects technology...

It seemed that all of a sudden, everyone had become a dinosaur expert or a scientific expert!

Even the name of the director, Nagayama Naoki, was being passed around from mouth to mouth~

After the evening newspaper started selling in the afternoon, the popularity of *Jurassic Park* rose to another level!

This time, even the international edition began to publish the premiere of *Jurassic Park*!

In one report, the editor summarized the premiere situation in Japan in detail, highlighting its popularity...

Cinemas all over Japan were queuing up, and the streets were empty!!

Tickets were hard to get, and you had to pay ten times the price to buy them!

And at the end, a question was asked:

"This time... what level will the new movie by famous director Nagayama Naoki reach?!"

"We will wait and see!" ===== CHAPTER 1367 =====
