Chapter 457 It Must Look Good

On the stage, the drama has begun.

If we had to compare the difference between the Fangyuan Theater and the theaters in the amusement park, it would probably be that the equipment of the Fangyuan Theater is relatively new and the stage lighting effect is particularly good.

The dramas have ranged from fairy tales like "The Fairy's Match" to "The Legend of the Princess" about rebirth and revenge. Of course, the hardware facilities must also be improved.

While Wang Xinghua was still alive, some of their major theaters had already begun to innovate. Devices such as smoke, wire, and mirror mechanisms were introduced on the stage to turn the opera into a mechanism play. It does seem a bit weird now, but people at the time thought it was strange.

When it comes to theater, regardless of singing and acting skills, the more bizarre the stage special effects, the better, and the more flashy, the better.

It is said that Leader Wang also wanted to introduce it before and let Wu Sheng hang a wire or something, but later gave up because it was too expensive. Of course, the theater before renovation had already introduced Wi-Fi devices, and Feng Ling had to fly into the air when singing "The Fairy's Match".

Compared with the Amusement Park Cinema, which is basically a standard old theater from more than 100 years ago, the facilities of Fangyuan Theater are much better.

As soon as the lights came on, Feng Ling, who was pressed on the stage with messy hair, disheveled clothes and a haggard expression, looked extremely thin, pitiful, weak and helpless.

Facing the eunuch played by Master Feng and Feng Qinghua, who had gained a little weight due to good food and not much practice during this period, Feng Ling made him look particularly pitiful without even opening his mouth.

Before the plot even started, an old woman sitting in the fifth row said emotionally: "Poor child, he was tortured by the eunuch right from the beginning."

Jiang Qi sat quietly in the middle of the first row, looking up at the stage.

He has watched "The Legend of the Princess" many times. At the beginning of the scene where the two eunuchs sacrifice the princess to death and explain the plot of the story, he can recite the words without having to watch it.

Jiang Qi could tell that head teacher Feng was a little nervous, but Feng Qinghua was okay. The father and son were standing in the center of the stage in slightly tight eunuch costumes, with sullen faces and a bit of joy.

Jiang Qi recited silently in his heart: 1, 2, 3...

"Your Majesty's oral message: The five princesses disguised themselves as men and pretended to be princes. They deceived the emperor and rebelled against their superiors. They are guilty of crimes that cannot be punished. Your Majesty..."

Accompanied by the sharp and mean voice of Leader Feng, the first performance of "The Legend of the Princess" in the Magic City officially began.

What Jiang Qi didn't know was that in today's performance of "The Princess", not only did Ms. Yao lead all the members of the Fangyuan Theater troupe to support her, but Yang Chaoge, who was theoretically in the office, was also standing in the corner of the back door, together with Yang Chaoge. And Manager Zhu from the drama department.

Unlike the drama department, which hangs around Theater No. 3 all year round and has to recruit reinforcements when it falls to Theater No. 5, the Drama Department is the leader of Fangyuan Theater. It occupies Theater No. 2 all year round, and occasionally squeezes into Theater No. 1. The ticket price is the same. It's twice the price of a theater ticket, so it's very impressive.

Yang Chaoge and Manager Zhu stood at the door like doormen, holding their elbows in exactly the same posture, staring at the stage intently.

There was silence in the auditorium.

The process on the stage was very fast, the princess was sentenced to death very quickly, and the curtain was closed. The audience was still a little confused and confused about the situation, and they were confused, thinking, shouldn't the princess be the protagonist? Why did he die as soon as he started?

Could it be that this play is performed using flashback? Can acting be done like this? Just messing around!

Soon, the curtain opened again, and the dashing princess appeared on the stage alive, dressed in men's clothing, and started to sing.

Jiang Qi in the first row was slightly distracted.

His heart was divided into two halves, one half was placed on the stage to pay attention to what was happening on the stage, and the other half was placed in the auditorium to observe the reactions of the audience present.

After watching the show for so long, Jiang Qi now considers himself a modern person who knows a little bit about acting, so he is not worried at all that the audience will not be able to understand the rebirth of the princess, even if more than half of the audience present are gray-haired elder.

People who have never seen a play may think that theater fans cannot accept such a novel theme. Most people's understanding of opera is limited to the combination of immortal love, gold medals, scholar and lady, loving mother and filial son, evil mother-in-law and bitter daughter-in-law.

But in fact, the content of opera is much richer than these.

During the feudal dynasty, there would be plots like "Meng Lijun" in which a woman disguises herself as a man to take the first prize, and the soul exchange, which is only slightly inferior to rebirth and revenge, has long been written badly.

"The Legend of the Princess" is a standard lower-level drama. Wang Xinghua and Feng Ling believed that it was an easy-to-understand drama that common people of their time could easily understand. It can also be understood in today's society.

Jiang Qi is worried that the audience will not be able to accept the fast pace of "The Legend of the Princess".

The plot of bending down to pick up a pen and not being able to understand what the math teacher on the podium is saying when you look up again can not only happen in a high-level math class, but it can also happen in the audience of "The Princess".

If you go to the bathroom in the middle of singing, you may find when you come back that the villain from the previous scene has passed away.

If there is a queue for the toilet and the queue lasts for 10 minutes, there will probably be three different villains when you come back.

It's so fast to push the mobs flatly.

Wang Xinghua firmly believes that a truly enjoyable novel should be enjoyable from beginning to end.

"The Legend of the Princess" is only two hours in total, and there is no time to include the plot of being a lowly person and being criticized. The essence of this drama is to bravely enter the novice village with a full-level queen, and the heroine is holding her own level 99 divine sword. A meal of chopping melons and vegetables.

At the beginning, Feng Zhiqiu would glance at her phone to reply a message to her friend. When the princess on the stage finished pushing the second BOSS, even though the phone in Feng Zhiqiu's hand had vibrated into a timer, she didn't even look at it.

Manager Zhu next to the door already wanted to move two rows forward.

"This little girl's acting is really good." Although Manager Zhu is the manager of the drama department, he knows acting, otherwise he would not be standing by the door with Yang Chaoge as a guard.

"Yeah, that's great." Yang Chaoge said blankly.

Now her mind was completely blank, her eyes were full of the drama on the stage, and her brain could not spare any extra space to think about other things.

There was only one thought in her mind right now.

Found a treasure!

It's really a treasure found.

Yang Chaoge is not a fool. As the opera department manager of Fangyuan Theater, she must know opera. Sometimes the Fangyuan Theater is lucky enough to invite some famous theater actors to sing in operas, and Yang Chaoge will make time to buy a ticket with a good seat at his own expense to sit and watch.

She originally didn't want to see the whole show today, she just wanted to see the performance.

Now Yang Chaoge regrets it.

What a crappy spot next to the door, with its corners so far away that you can only look at the stage sideways.

The position in the corner sells for 80, and the position at the door is worth up to 40.

No, this shitty place isn't even worth 40. It's better to hang yourself in the air with a rope and get a ticket.

"This show is going to be a hit." Manager Zhu said decisively, "You'd better go back and apply to the boss today for an extra show. Apply for Monday night's show first. This show is going to be huge."

"This little girl is incredible."

nonsense!

Yang Chaoge said silently in his heart, thinking that you would use me to deal with this kind of thing as an afterthought.

What does it mean to apply for performances on Monday night first? Yang Chaoge said that she would make a report when she got back and apply for all performances from Monday to Thursday nights, and then continue to perform on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Her good niece Yang Qing had told her that this troupe put on big plays every night in the amusement park. People have come all the way to the Magic City, so they can’t neglect it. They must have the same standards and perform every night!

As for sharing...

Yang Chaoge lightly tapped his foot in distress, wondering if Boss Jiang would agree to the increase to 60%.

After today's performance of the show, Yang Chaoge feels that there is no problem with the tickets for Saturday and Sunday. They will definitely be sold out, and more than 90% of them will be sold out even if they are not sold out.

It would be unreasonable if this show was not popular.

Although there are fewer people going to the theater these days, it’s not none. Given the population base of the Magic City, hundreds and thousands of theatergoers can still be found.

It's really a good show. It's passed on to hundreds of people, and friends are called. Once the circle of friends is posted, the tickets are still not sold?

If you're lucky, you might be able to go to Theater 2 to perform.

Theater No. 2 has more than 500 seats!

By then, their drama department will be the same department that has performed in Theater No. 2, and they can feel proud for once.

This year’s year-end commendation must go to the drama department!

All this is thanks to my good niece!

Yang Chaoge thought happily that if Yang Qing hadn't been talking about the theater in Galaxy Play Theme Park in her ears every day, how good Little Bailing's singing was, how good Manager Wang was at writing play scripts, and how enthusiastic the audience's response was, she wouldn't have known it. Tanxin then contacted Yin Fei and asked her to be the intermediary to contact Jiang Qi.

Today's Fangyuan Theater No. 3 Theater would not have this good show.

It's really good luck.

Manager Zhu glanced at the beaming Yang Chaoge and thought what kind of sweet dream Yang Chaoge was dreaming about. He was so dishonest that he didn't even want to watch the show on stage.

Unlike him, he only focuses on the little lark.

The Little Bailing light sign brought by the audience in the seventh row is really good, and Manager Zhu thinks he should get one too.

Buy a ticket for the middle seat in the third row tomorrow and get a big light sign with bright yellow characters. Hold it up during the curtain call. The little lark will definitely be able to see it at a glance.

By the way, what is the name of Little Bailing?

"Sister Yang, what's the name of Little Bailing?" Manager Zhu asked.

"The little lark's name is..." Yang Chaoge was stunned and yelled, what's the little lark's name?

"Hey... how about I ask you after it's over?" Yang Chaoge scratched his head in embarrassment, "Or we can go directly to the backstage and get an autograph and a photo together."

"Good!" Manager Zhu nodded and continued to focus on the stage.

.

Unlike standing at the back door far away from the auditorium, the angle is not good and the viewing experience is very bad, so I can occasionally be distracted and chat with Yang Chaoge and Manager Zhu. The audience who have bought tickets and are in the auditorium can't even talk to each other. There is no time.

Some of the grandparents, who had gray hair and bad eyesight and had to wear reading glasses every day, stared at the stage with slightly squinted eyes, not even daring to blink more. They were concentrating and concentrating, not daring to be distracted for a moment.

These old theater fans who have watched theaters for more than ten or even decades rarely have such a theater experience anymore.

Nowadays, there are very few new plays. Not only are few people willing to write new plays, but even if the quality is not as good as those classic old plays, no one will sing them. The decline of opera is comprehensive. For these old opera fans, they can basically tell the next line of the opera they watch with their eyes closed.

Just look at the name and you'll know what it's about.

This is why the elderly group headed by Grandma Nangong can always live near the amusement park and go to watch the same play every day for more than half a month, because they are used to watching plays like this.

For them, the content of the opera is no longer important. What is important is the opera actor's singing skills, the opera actor's performance, and the opera actor's expression. So when watching a play, they can be very leisurely, watch without concentration, and even listen with their eyes closed.

But "The Legend of the Princess" is different, this is a new play.

A new plot, a new experience.

Super large capacity, great value for enjoyment.

These elderly viewers only regret that they only have two eyes and two ears, and they cannot take into account the plot and performance very well at the same time.

The little girl singing Princess on the stage is simply a jewel.

No matter it's body, appearance, singing, or action, there is no choice. If you miss any wonderful moment, you will regret it and slap yourself on the bed in the middle of the night.

What a great show, how could you miss it?

These tolerant yet critical audiences have not had such an enjoyable, calm and immersive theater experience for a long time.

The drama on stage has come to an end.

The princess ascends the throne.

The eunuchs played by Leader Feng and Feng Qinghua turned into the most loyal henchmen of the princess and stood up straight. The cannon fodder monsters who had been defeated by the princess changed their clothes and disguised themselves as ministers, and stood respectfully on the stage, filling the entire stage.

"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"

The extras shouted out their last lines in the scene.

Some of the audience in the audience could no longer contain their excitement and began to applaud crazily.

From sparse applause to warm applause, Jiang Qi, who was sitting in the first row, always felt that something was missing.

Feng Ling on the stage also seemed to feel that something was almost missing, and deliberately did not finish.

At this moment, Jiang Qi understood.

Jiang Qi took a deep breath and prepared to shout. Two loud and clear shouts came from the 7th and 5th rows, and even had a little bit of broken voice: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor -"

The members of the Fangyuan Theater troupe who failed in their entrustment immediately understood what was happening and shouted in unison at the top of their lungs: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Feng Zhiqiu and the atmosphere team she brought also understood and echoed from the front row.

By the end, the audience's cheers could almost lift the roof, and a faint echo could still be heard.

Feng Ling nodded slightly with satisfaction. He did not look at the ministers, but turned his gaze to the audience and said loudly: "You will be excused from the ceremony."

The play ends.

"Okay!" An old man cheered angrily.

"Little Bailing, I love you!!!" the girl in row 7 shouted while holding a light sign.

"Little Bailing, I love you too!" The girl in row 5 also raised the light sign.

"I love you more!"

"I love you most!"

The whole audience laughed, and all the actors came on stage to take their final bow.

Jiang Qi was sitting in the first row and heard an old man in the back row say in a loud voice: "That little girl lifts something very good and eye-catching. I'll get one tomorrow too."

Jiang Qi:......

There were more than one uncle and aunt who made similar remarks, and Manager Zhu and Yang Chaoge at the door also heard it.

Manager Zhu said with a smile: "If this trend continues, if our theater makes a batch of light signs and sells them at the ticket gate, we might earn more than the ticket price."

Manager Zhu was unintentional, but Yang Chaoge was attentive. Yang Chaoge looked at the young spectators in the 5th, 7th, and 8th rows who were obviously producing the same light boards with the same style, and fell into deep thought.

At the entrance of Theater No. 3, there were several audience members who had just finished watching the play and were squatting at the door curiously.

"What's playing in Theater No. 3 today?"

"I don't know. I heard everyone inside shouting, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor. What kind of performance is this? It's so interesting, and there is an emperor."

"It seems like you are still clapping. How long have you been cheering for?"

"It's been more than three minutes, right?"

"Oh my God, how wonderful this is."

"Check it out quickly and buy a ticket for this show, it will definitely be great!"

Tonight I went to eat frog fish head with my friends, but we encountered a gambler at the shop next door, and two police cars came. The people eating in the restaurant and the boss immediately gave up eating and ran over to eat melon. They ate the meal until after eleven o'clock, which was so unfinished.
