Chapter 459: Trash Boss, You Can’t Even Buy a Ticket!

Monday's tickets were sold out in 2 hours and 17 minutes, setting a new record for the fastest sell-out of Theater 2 since the opening of the Square Theater. The news reached the troupe members after lunch.

When the members of the Fangyuan Theater troupe heard the news, they were so shocked that their eyes almost fell out of their sockets. They wished they could rush into the rehearsal room on the spot, hold Feng Ling's arm and shout: Xiao Bailing, you are my god! The only god in Fangyuan Theater!

The members of the amusement park troupe were relatively calm. After hearing the news, they just nodded, secretly chuckling in their hearts and continued practicing.

Sold out, what a big deal.

For a big show with Little Larkin in it, it is news that it is not sold out, but it is normal that it is sold out.

Some actors were still thinking to themselves, as expected, the public’s eyes are sharp, and the people of the city have good taste. After just one performance, they discovered that "The Legend of the Princess" is good, happy!

The theater tickets were sold out, which made everyone pay more attention to the upcoming performances and pay more attention to the rehearsals.

To be fair, many actors were dissatisfied with last night's performance.

I don’t know whether it’s because they didn’t get enough rest after taking a long bus ride, or they were not used to performing in a different place. Many actors felt that their condition on stage was far less good than that at the amusement park. Especially when I was singing the lyrics, I felt apprehensive as soon as I opened my mouth. I felt that I had not sung well, and I was afraid that the audience would boo and ruin Feng Ling's signature.

Fortunately, the audience's focus has never been on the supporting characters, and no one cares about the crotch pull. In addition, the audience today is generally more tolerant. The slightly flawed "The Princess" in the first episode has already become a psychological problem for many viewers. Quite outstanding.

Leader Feng felt a little nervous because he didn't perform well last night.

After performing "The Legend of the Princess", Leader Feng didn't dare to tell anyone that when he went on stage to sing last night, he didn't even dare to look at the audience. He just silently said in his heart that they are not the audience, they are cabbage, they are not the audience, they are cabbages. Big white radish.

An old actor with so much experience in acting, he had many apprentices, and he would go to the countryside to perform with the troupe every year during the holidays. He actually got stage fright when he went on stage. Leader Feng was too embarrassed to tell anyone about such a shameful thing.

What's even more embarrassing is that his eldest son Feng Qinghua doesn't have stage fright.

Father and son were on the same stage. The son had no problem, but the father lowered his standard. Leader Feng felt that he was embarrassed to meet people after performing "The Legend of the Princess" yesterday. When ordering food in the evening, he was embarrassed to order too much, so he just had a small bowl of wontons like Jiang Qi.

"well."

Seeing his performance when he first came on stage yesterday, Leader Feng wanted to give himself a big mouth.

It’s such a glorious moment to honor one’s ancestors, why did he stretch his crotch?

You can't stretch your hips any more today. If you stretch your hips again, you'll be embarrassed in front of others.

"Dad, are you not sleeping well in bed? Why do I feel that you have been sighing today." Feng Qinghua couldn't help asking.

Leader Feng looked sadly at his son, who was performing reasonably well, and said, "Do I want a bed? I haven't slept on any bed during these years of performing in the countryside? I even slept on a haystack before you were born! "

"I think back then, in order to save a few cents on the ticket, your mother, me, and a few people from the theater troupe walked more than forty miles on our legs. By the time we reached midnight, we were so tired that we couldn't bear it anymore. I was thirsty and hungry, so I ran to a fellow villager’s house and slept in a haystack next to the firewood pile.”

"You think I'm like you? It's a joke that you still want to sleep with me."

Feng Qinghua: It's over, it's over, his dad seems to be in trouble.

Everyone is beginning to remember how brave they were back then, and this situation seems a bit serious. There are still a few hours until the opening. What if his father is not in a good condition and sings the wrong words on stage and messes up today's scene?

If Boss Jiang had his father fired, wouldn't he be so angry that he fired himself too?

No!

Feng Qinghua, who was in a good mood, began to panic.

If you are in doubt, just call Feng Ling.

Feng Qinghua quietly found Feng Ling and told Feng Ling that he felt his father was not in good condition.

Feng Ling could tell that Master Feng was a little nervous when she performed last night, but she didn't pay too much attention.

In her opinion, although Team Leader Feng's performance was a little abnormal, overall it was okay. Moreover, Banzhu Feng is different from other opera actors. When Banzhu Feng entered the amusement park, he applied for a management position, not an opera actor.

Leader Feng has not been on stage much since Feng Qinghua was able to sing and play leading roles. He will be 50 next year, and his figure, appearance and voice are far inferior to those of his youth.

It would be fine if Class Leader Feng were like Feng Ling, but God would reward him with food. Class Leader Feng's own qualifications were very average, and his skills were almost all focused on teaching. It would be normal for him to retreat behind the scenes after someone succeeds him.

Therefore, in Feng Ling's opinion, it is human nature for Leader Feng to have some stage fright yesterday. The opera actor's stage performance is sung one after another. Among the many operas performed by the troupe, the only one that Leader Feng needs to perform is "The Legend of the Princess", and he only sings the beginning and end, and the number of appearances is very small.

The current leader Feng is probably an experienced newcomer. He has the level and foundation, but he will be as nervous as a newcomer, worry about gains and losses, and his performance will be unstable.

When I was in the theater, I had a buff to help stabilize Leader Feng, but now that I have come to the Magic City, the buff is gone and the psychological pressure has doubled. It is understandable that my performance is unstable and a little abnormal.

Feng Ling originally thought that there was no need to worry about this kind of thing, and everything would be solved after a few more performances. All the tension, uneasiness, anxiety, and stage fright would disappear amidst the cheers and applause of the audience.

But since Feng Qinghua asked for help, Feng Ling still took the time to chat with Leader Feng.

"Master Feng, are you a little nervous?"

When asked by Feng Ling, Leader Feng suddenly felt uneasy. His hands and feet had nowhere to rest, and his eyes were wandering. He wanted to find a crack in the ground and hide like an ostrich.

"Yes...this...actually..."

"I understand." Feng Ling interrupted Team Leader Feng's incoherent words, "You are starting the game, so it is normal to worry that you will make a mistake in your performance."

Old actors make mistakes only when new talents make mistakes. Leader Feng lowered his head in shame.

"I have a good remedy here, do you want to try it?"

"What?"

"Look at the audience, look openly. The more scared you are, the more you have to look. Just look at their reaction and see if you think you are not singing well, but the audience also thinks you are not singing well." Feng Lingdao.

Leader Feng is a typical person who thinks too much. Feng Ling has been used to this situation since she sang so many heroine roles in the troupe back then.

When newcomers first appear on the big stage, they will worry about whether their singing is good or not, and whether it will affect the entire performance. But they also don’t think about who the audience is coming to see, who they are paying for, who is the protagonist of the play, and what role you are playing.

To put it cruelly, the audience doesn't care at all as long as the supporting characters don't sing so badly that they can't even watch any of the heroine scenes Feng Ling sings.

Feng Ling felt that the level of the members of the current troupe was pretty good. Her previous troupe was essentially a grass-stage troupe, and the quality of the other members was mixed.

Teammate Feng Ling, who was even more defeated, has been brought up, so Team Leader Feng is pretty good.

Of course, Leader Feng would not know Feng Ling's inner complaints.

After hearing this from Feng Ling, Leader Feng felt enlightened. The response yesterday was good, and I don’t seem to have made too many mistakes.

Leader Feng returned to rehearsing intensely.

Saturday afternoon session starts at 3pm.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the entire Theater No. 3 was packed.

There was a row of people occupying a seat next to the door that was not even as good as a ticket. They were all the staff of the Fangyuan Theater.

There are everyone, including security guards, ticket sellers, cleaners, actors from drama troupes who don’t rehearse seriously even if there is no performance, and of course actors from dance troupes and musical troupes.

If there wasn't a puppet show performing this afternoon, there would most likely be puppet show actors here.

Many of the staff members who were watching had never seen a show before.

But today they are here.

For no other reason than to see how good "The Princess" is, which set a new record for selling out the fastest at Fangyuan Theater No. 2 Theater.

What the staff of Fangyuan Theater didn’t know was that not only were they coming to the performance this afternoon, but the boss was also coming.

Of course, the boss couldn't stand at the door and watch from his poor seat. The boss took Manager Zhu's good seat in the fifth row.

Of course, Ge Hong, the owner of Fangyuan Theater, is not a person without martial ethics. The reason why he snatched Manager Zhu's seat is very simple - Manager Zhu's seat is good, and he bought tickets for Saturday and Sunday, so he can watch less The field doesn't matter.

In order to compensate his key employees, Ge Hong paid Manager Zhu three times the ticket price, and then happily sat in the prime viewing seat.

The play hadn't started yet. Ge Hong sat in his seat and looked at the audience calmly.

The middle of the 5th row of Theater 3 is a wonderful position. You can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. Sitting in this position, you can easily see the entire auditorium, just turn your head.

Ge Hong found that the audience today was different from what he had imagined.

Tickets for Saturday and Sunday started selling out after the show last night and were eventually sold out.

Basically all tickets are purchased online.

Ge Hong thought at first that there was something about the play that attracted young audiences, but as soon as he entered the venue, he discovered that Theater No. 3 where the drama department was performing was still the familiar Theater No. 3, with gray-haired old men and women everywhere.

The drama department is the least profitable department of the Fangyuan Theatre. Not only does it not make money, it also loses money, even worse than the puppet show next door.

If it weren't for state support and subsidies, the drama department would have laid off employees long ago.

The audience of the drama department is also the most special audience.

Basically, they are all elderly people. These elderly people are not very good at using software to buy tickets. They usually go to the ticket office to queue up to buy tickets.

The Fangyuan Theater has its own theater troupe that performs every week, and the low-price tickets are very cheap, so many audiences come to watch the theater regularly on weekends.

I watch all the performances. Some people have bought their tickets for the next weekend a week in advance, and some people come to buy tickets at last minute. In short, it is very random.

This is why Ge Hong was surprised when he came in and found that the audience was still familiar audiences - it turns out that all the adults can buy tickets online!

But soon Ge Hong was no longer surprised by such a trivial matter.

Because he saw an old man holding a light sign in his hand.

It was an extra-large light sign, and the words on it were also very big. Ge Hong swore that the words on the light signs he had seen before where fans supported their idols were definitely not as big as the words on this light sign.

The words are still bright yellow and particularly conspicuous.

This is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that when this old man came in with the light sign, he attracted the attention of countless old men and women.

Everyone likes it very much and thinks this thing is really good and eye-catching!

Someone also asked the uncle where he ordered the light sign, and he wanted one too.

The uncle said that he asked his granddaughter, who chases stars every day, to order it urgently. After the show yesterday, he asked his granddaughter to order the light sign.

The granddaughter is also very reliable. She has been pursuing the star for so many years, and she was able to get it done in such a short time. She is a good and filial granddaughter.

Another uncle who asked where the light sign was ordered was even more envious. He asked the uncle to recommend his granddaughter’s contact information to him. He also wanted to contact his granddaughter to order the light sign.

After witnessing so many outrageous conversations, Ge Hong was numb when the play started.

how to say.

It's amazing.

There is something wonderful about your uncle truly being your uncle.

Ge Hong in the audience felt very strange, and Master Feng on the stage was numb.

He listened to Feng Ling's suggestion and boldly looked at the audience.

Then I saw Mr. Pei in the fourth row at a glance.

Why are you here? !

Don’t you claim that you are old, your body can’t bear the bumps, and you can’t ride in a car, so you stay in the village and don’t want to go out?

Why did you come all the way to the Demon City? !

Still sitting in the fourth row!

Although Leader Feng was surprised, this surprise did not delay his singing.

Good guy, Mr. Pei is already sitting in the audience. If he sings again, he will really be sorry for his biological father.

With the message of "His Majesty's Oral Order——" from Leader Feng, "The Biography of the Princess" officially begins.

.

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

At 4:40 pm, the deafening voice of Long Live came again from Theater No. 3.

The voices were particularly uniform and loud, and they did not shout many times like the night before. They only shouted "My Emperor" twice and all the ministers were saved.

This time it wasn't even the young people who shouted first, it was the adults who had watched "The Princess" last night.

The actors on the stage began to take their curtain call, and the audience applauded like thunder. Every audience member applauded wildly and blushed with excitement. The scene was so exaggerated that it didn't look like something that could happen in reality, but more like a plot that would only appear in a movie.

Ge Hong sat on the chair and stared blankly at the stage, his ears filled with the praises of the uncles and aunts.

"That's good, Lao Li didn't lie to me!"

"A good show, a really good show!"

"Will the play be performed tomorrow?"

"It should be performed tomorrow, but it doesn't seem to be performed from Monday to Thursday. No, watching it once is not enough. I will go back and ask my daughter to buy me tickets for a few more days to watch a few more days."

"Old Qian also said that he has never heard of this show and doesn't want to come. Oh, he will regret it if he doesn't watch one less time."

"It won't matter if we miss one more show. Lao Qian's house is only 5 bus stops away from here. It's very close. You can come here at any time."

"Don't you know? This play is a tour of a foreign troupe. Foreign troupes at the Fangyuan Theater usually perform for two weeks, with a total of 6 performances. I didn't watch it today. I didn't watch it yesterday, so 2 performances were missing. The tickets for tomorrow are still sold out, so he’s missing three shows!”

"Oh, you will regret it to death."

"Isn't that right? If you ask me, the owner of this theater also has a problem. Such a good show, such a small theater, with a total of two to three hundred seats sold out in an instant, and you don't even know how to make money. Why don't you find a bigger theater? , otherwise my daughter wouldn’t be unable to buy a ticket for tomorrow.”

"That's right!"

Ge Hong, the owner of Zhen Theater who was criticized like crazy:...

Ge Hong, who had watched the entire episode of "The Legend of the Princess," just wanted to hold Auntie's hand and say affectionately: Auntie, why didn't you tell me earlier!

How stupid of me, really, I should have reacted when Monday's tickets sold out in 2 hours and 17 minutes and changed the theater behind the show to Theater 1.

Ge Hong is not a young man who has never seen a play. He has seen a lot of plays and plays by those masters, so he knows how good "The Princess" is and how well Xiao Bailing sings.

Ge Hong dared to guarantee that within two days, the entire staff of Fangyuan Theater would call Xiao Bailing Boss Feng when they saw her.

"The Princess" may not have much artistic attainments, but it is a very mature drama, a drama that everyone can understand, and it is very much like a drama tailor-made for the protagonist.

What does this mean? This shows that there is a person in this theater who is very good at writing plays who is tailoring plays for Little Bailing.

An extremely talented, extremely young opera actor with a promising future, paired with a highly skilled author who understands the market and can tailor scripts for her.

This is not a bright future anymore, this is a future paved with luminous pearls. Afraid that the luminous pearls are not bright enough, a 400-watt headlight is used to light up the way forward for her. At the same time, a layer of red carpet is laid on the luminous pearls to prevent her from walking. Sore feet.

Ge Hong calculated in his mind.

Watching a play is different from watching a play, a musical, or a dance drama. There are very few people who are willing to watch the latter many times and watch them repeatedly. But the show is good, and people who have enough money and time are really willing to watch it every day, for ten days and a half.

In a sense, the audience of "The Princess" is only increasing.

New audiences will definitely come in, but old audiences may not go out.

At this time, the 530 seats in Theater 2 are not enough.

Tickets for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday have been sold out, and tickets for Thursday have not been released yet.

At this time, if "The Legend of the Princess" is not moved to Theater No. 1, Ge Hong will really be the idiot boss who doesn't even know how to make money.

If the tickets for Theater No. 1 can also be sold out...

Ge Hong took a breath, he couldn't even imagine this scene!

If that day comes, Ge Hong feels that his first sentence when meeting someone will be: "Hey, how did you know that "The Legend of the Princess" was performed in our theater?"

Manager Yang is really an indispensable backbone of their Fangyuan Theater!

A two-week contract was signed immediately. What would Fangyuan Theater do without Manager Yang?

Ge Hong is thinking about when Theater No. 1 can be vacated.

The last time Theater 1 was used was three months ago. Cleaning and checking the equipment takes time.

Moreover, the stage in Theater No. 1 is so big, Xiao Bailing and the others also need time to rehearse and move, which also takes time.

It's Saturday now and Monday will definitely be too late.

Tuesday may also be a bit of a cliffhanger.

I don’t know if it’s possible on Wednesday…

Forget it, Thursday is safer.

Ge Hong left Theater No. 3 and called the staff to ask them to clean up Theater No. 1 before Thursday.

Then Yang Chaoge was notified that "The Legend of the Princess" will be performed in Theater No. 1 on Thursday.

Ge Hong didn't mention Friday's performance because he wanted to release tickets for Thursday first to test the waters.

If you go to Theater 1 to perform, the ticket price will definitely go up.

Although Ge Hong feels that Little Bailing's performance is fully worthy of the increased ticket price, even if it doubles again, the price increase is bound to dissuade some audiences.

However, it is impossible not to increase the price, and the share will be renegotiated for additional performances. The cost of performing in Theater No. 1 is also very high. If the ticket price is cheap, the profit of the theater is too low.

Ge Hong believes that if 50% of Thursday's tickets can be sold before Tuesday, "The Princess" will continue to be performed in Theater No. 1 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Theater No. 1 performed for 4 consecutive days, another record for Fangyuan Theatre.

Ge Hong was both nervous and excited.

Listening to the excited discussions among the adults who were leaving not far away, Ge Hong felt that this new record was not impossible to achieve.

"I heard that young people nowadays squat to ask for autographs. Do you know how this squatter squats? Where do they squat? I don't want an autograph, I just want to take a photo."

"Go back and ask your granddaughter to inquire. Isn't she a star chaser? She must understand."

"Yeah."

Ge Hong woke up from a dream.

Why is he worrying about something so far away at this time?

At this time, of course you should go to the lounge to ask for autographs and take photos. Before Xiao Bailing’s makeup is taken off, take a photo and post it on your friends circle to show off!

He is the owner of the Fangyuan Theater, so he should have the privilege of operating behind the scenes!

Ge Hong hurriedly went to the lounge to operate in secret.
