China News Service, Taiyuan, July 21 (Reporter Hu Jian) On the second day after China's National Film Administration approved the reopening of cinemas in low-risk areas, cinemas in low-risk areas in mainland China are gradually restarting after the epidemic. As a movie theater that is a key industry for epidemic prevention, the reporter visited the theater before the restart in Shanxi on the 21st.
The 21st was the second day after the National Film Administration of China approved the reopening of cinemas in low-risk areas. As a low-risk area in Shanxi, individual theaters in Jinzhong, Datong, Luliang and other places have begun to operate, while Taiyuan, the provincial capital with a population of nearly 4.5 million, shows no signs of opening.

The reporter saw at Taiyuan Vientiane Studios on the 21st that the staff were disinfecting the 4 theaters that will be opened soon. This will also become one of the standard procedures after the film screenings in the future. The automatic ticket collection machine has been affixed with plastic wrap and an alcohol disinfectant is placed next to it so that the audience can safely collect tickets.
Outside the theater, the ticketing system has locked the seats. In the theater, the staff use black and yellow tape to separate the seats to ensure a safe viewing distance. According to Zhou Kai, the store manager of the movie theater, if the audience finds that they are unwell during the movie watching, and the body temperature is too high after measurement, the movie theater has also set up a temporary isolation room.

Gao Kai said that according to the requirement that the attendance rate should not exceed 30%, the 4 cinemas that can be opened have a total of 768 seats. Through offline isolation, there are 231 seats available for sale.
In the Shanxi Theater, the electronic unmanned ticket gate known as "Return to Work No. 1" can control two channels at the same time, making ticket checking faster. At the same time, the machine has infrared sensors, can automatically measure body temperature, and can be interconnected by mobile phones, so that the administrator can "track" the visitors and achieve the dual purposes of "ticket inspection" and "epidemic prevention".
Many movie theaters, including Taiyuan Interstellar Cinema, and other art studios, are currently preparing for epidemic prevention before opening. According to local staff, Taiyuan’s movie theaters are expected to restart on the 24th of this month. Up to now, Qingdao, Xiamen, Jinan, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Suzhou and other places ushered in the restart of theaters.
According to the data of Maoyan Professional Edition, the total number of screenings nationwide on the 20th was 6,101. The first domestically produced new film "The First Parting", which was the first to be released on the resumption day, reached 1,673, becoming a popular movie on the first day of the resumption of work in cinemas.
