Chapter 156 Merit List
Yonghui Grand Theater, which is much smaller than the Lanzhou Theater, is also owned by Lao Jin.
This theater can accommodate about a thousand people. The large theater, which is usually used to perform circus and crosstalk, was temporarily converted into an exhibition hall to receive guests.
"One cent, one cent. The ticket price is one cent. Children, journalists and military personnel are free. Let's line up to watch the devil's transformation into a skeleton demon."
A dozen theater staff are maintaining order.
Outside the theater there was a huge sea of people, a long queue.
These people were all here to see the White Bone Demon.
It is so rare for the Japanese to turn into the White Bone Demon. The ticket price of ten cents is not cheap, but it is much more exciting than watching a movie or a circus.
One dime was equivalent to 20 yuan in later generations, and even poor people like Adjutant Li could afford it.
The powerful combination of the White Bone Demon and the Japanese devils attracted the attention of the whole of Shanghai.
Wencai placed a large advertisement in the newspaper. In addition, the popularity of the White Bone Demon was very high in recent days, so the White Bone Demon exhibition he organized immediately became popular all over Shanghai.
You won't lose a penny or be cheated, you can't buy a car or a house, but you can see the true form of the Japanese devil, the White Bone Demon.
If you are willing to spend money, you can also use a penny to throw at the White Bone Demon to vent your anger.
A local rich man dressed in silk and satin immigrated to Shanghai from the occupied area. His hometown was captured by the Japanese, his eldest son died, and his daughter-in-law was raped and killed by the Japanese.
All this local tycoon has is money, but no amount of money can buy back the lives of his son and daughter-in-law.
It was even more unrealistic to ask him to go to the battlefield for revenge. Even if he saw the Japanese in Shanghai, he didn't have the courage to slap them.
But now when he saw the White Bone Demon wearing a yellow military uniform and a Japanese sword on his waist, he got angry.
He said to the servant beside him: "Afu, bring the money."
The servant Ah Fu was holding a large plate of one-cent change, and the local rich man rushed over with the money.
This cent was not the aluminum plate money of later generations. Those were big copper coins. It would hurt if one of them hit you.
"Smash you to death, you stinky devil."
As everyone threw money, the White Bone Demon's screams could be heard from time to time: "Bagayalu, baka, my Great Japanese Empire will come to take revenge sooner or later. Long live the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, long live the Emperor. You sick men of East Asia, die..."
Of course the mutated skeletons can't speak. All of this was because Wencai ordered people to install speakers under the feet of the White Bone Demon.
As long as people pay money, the person next to them will step on the switch of the speaker with their foot, and the speaker will play the recorded lines.
Anyway, the Japs' lines are just those few sentences.
Next to the White Bone Demon, there is a photo and personal introduction of Fujita Tsuyoshi, as well as the biography of Colonel Fujita that Wencai paid Du Fei to write for one dollar.
The biography describes Fujita Tsuyoshi as a demon who eats a Dragon Countryman alive every day.
Du Fei's writing style is good. The biography of the murderous Colonel Fujita is bloody and terrifying, which makes people indignant and furious at the first sight, and they immediately want to pay money to kill the White Bone Demon.
The core of the exhibition is the White Bone Demon, and in order to avoid monotony, some other things are also placed there.
The broken plaque of "Sick Man of East Asia" was said to be in two halves. It was originally hung in the hall of Hongkou Dojo and was kicked into pieces by Wencai himself.
There was also a wooden sign that said "Dragon people and dogs are not allowed to enter", which was kicked in half by Wencai himself.
Others include photos of Goro Osaka's clothes during his lifetime, fragments of Ryuichi Akutagawa's skull, Renjo Kusanagi's thigh, etc.
If you are lucky, you can also get the autograph of Huo Tingen, the master of Jingwumen, who said, "A strong sports nation, everyone has something to practice."
With the mutant skeletons making a series of noises, the money on the exhibition stand increased.
On the first day alone, the staff had scanned the money seven or eight times.
Don't look down on a penny, because a lot of it can make a difference!
Each scan costs two to three thousand yuan, which makes the staff jealous.
One cent is equivalent to two dollars, and two cents can buy you a bowl of white porridge and two freshly fried dough sticks.
Many poor people are reluctant to spend even a penny on breakfast, but they desperately spend money to attack the White Bone Demon.
Seeing that everyone was going too crazy, Wen Cai came to the stage and asked everyone to be rational, patriotic and spend money rationally, and everyone just needed to donate a penny as a token of their appreciation.
Unexpectedly, after he said that, everyone smashed things even more crazily.
On the first day of the exhibition, the ten accountants backstage began to count the money and frantically calculated the accounts on the abacus.
"Boss, one hundred and fifty-three thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven dollars and twenty-five cents."
The general accountant shouted with sweat on his face.
"What, so much money."
Wencai could hardly believe his ears.
How is it possible to make 150,000 yuan by selling tickets at 1 cent each?
In the past, he could only earn a little over 10,000 yuan.
The exhibition lasts ten minutes each time, and the fee is one hundred yuan for one thousand people.
60 minutes an hour is 800 yuan, and 8 hours is at most yuan. How can there be so much money?
In response to Wencai's question, the theater manager quickly said, "Everyone who came into the theater spent a few dollars per person, and a few big guys from the occupied areas spent several thousand dollars."
With each person spending more than one dollar, and more than a dozen big guys investing heavily, it's no surprise that the box office is this high.
Who doesn’t hate the devils!
Who isn’t afraid of the devils?
Who wouldn’t go crazy if given the chance to smash the Japanese?
Among them was a millionaire who spent 5,000 yuan alone.
Wencai thought about it and said to the manager, "Let's put up a sign at the venue tomorrow and make a reward list. No, it can't be called a reward list, it should be called a merit list. The ten people who smashed the most will be on the list. And then put up a sign saying that we don't want any money from smashing the white bone spirit, and we will donate it all to the heroes of the war of resistance."
The manager said distressedly: "This, really donate! I am afraid that this money will not fall into the hands of soldiers who truly serve the country and the people, and most of it will fall into the hands of those spies and traitors."
Wencai Zhengse said: "Donate, give me all the money, I will go to fight against the Japanese personally."
The manager suddenly felt that Wencai's figure became extremely tall.
Wencai thought to himself: "In this chaotic time, who knows whether people will donate or not. We just want to gain a reputation. Besides, I am a hero in the war of resistance, am I not?"
When we counted the next day, the box office revenue had reached over 300,000, which was unexpectedly more than double.
Mainly at Wencai's suggestion, a merit list was set up at the venue.
The merit list is divided into gold list, silver list and bronze list.
There are 1,000 people on the bronze list, and you can get on the list by spending 100 dollars.
There are 100 people on the silver list, and you can get on the list by spending 1,000 yuan.
To be on the list of successful candidates, you need to donate the most money.
As soon as the list came out, all the wealthy people in Shanghai rushed to invest their money.
There are five people on the gold list, namely Qin Wuye from the Grand Shanghai Ballroom, Song Ziyou from Junior High School Bank, and Lan Changming, president of Jinxin Bank.
The other two puzzling people were Mr. Ding, the new leader of the Wang Puppet regime who replaced Mr. Yi, and the big traitor Feng Jingyao.
Wencai informed the newspaper that every great philanthropist on the list was given a special feature and widely reported and publicized.
You can't let other people's money go to waste, right?
On the third day, Long Si also came and he smashed a gold list.
On the fourth day, the gold list was full.
On the fifth day, a great philanthropist on the gold list was replaced by a new one.
The kind-hearted man was not satisfied and used more money to swipe the card.
The newcomer was also unconvinced.
Feng Jingyao and Song Ziyou are competing for the first place. They have spent more than 100,000 yuan and have no intention of stopping.
In just ten days, the box office of "White Bone Demon" reached more than three million.
In fact, poor people can’t earn much money and they mainly rely on their big brother for support.
Feng Jingyao spent over 300,000 yuan to buy the title of the No. 1 Patriot in Shanghai who fought against the Japanese invaders.
For Feng Jingyao, who has a fortune of hundreds of millions, spending hundreds of thousands to buy a false reputation is nothing.
In fact, if it was any other charity, such as donating to the Children's Charity Bureau, Feng Jingyao would only donate one thousand yuan at most, but being on the merit list would help him clear his name as a traitor.
A while ago, Lu Qiubai tried his best to expose his negative information, saying that he was selling opium and colluding with the Japanese, which made his reputation infamous and everyone called him the biggest traitor in Shanghai.
Therefore, he really needs to defeat the devils and get on the list of merits to become the first good man in order to whitewash himself.
After making a lot of money, Wencai planned to save it and buy planes to fight the Japanese in the future.
