Ticket Power.
The influence an actor has on ticket sales for movies, musicals, and other performances.@@novelbin@@
A single actorâs ticket power significantly impacts the overall audience turnout, as many people choose what to watch based on the cast.
For some, their admiration for a particular actor is enough of a reason to buy a ticket. Veterans was no exception.
âWait, this is really the girl who came to our house?â
âYeah. She said she works with Ji Hye.â
âJi Hye, are you secretly training to be an actress?â
âI-Itâs nothing like that! The movieâs about to start, letâs just go in.â
Some audience members had purchased tickets simply because they were fans of one of the actors.
In Naelâs case, her admiration for Ha-eun was twice as intense as anyone elseâsâbut for reasons she couldnât openly admit. That was why she went so far as to bring her parents along.
âUgh, Iâm so nervousâ¦.â
Ever since Veterans had premiered, Nael had been avoiding social media and online communities to dodge spoilers.
Even during her streams as a second-gen VTuber of Illusionary Realm, sheâd put up a bold warning: Mentioning Veterans = Instant Ban.
That was how seriously she took this. The moment she settled into her seat, a mix of anticipation and nervousness filled her.
After about ten minutes of previewsâsomething neither she nor her parents usually paid much attention toâ
Ssshhâ¦.
âPeople always ask: How can I become more beautiful? How can I become even more radiant?â
âOh? Isnât that Lee Ha-eun?â
âI-It is!â
