Chapter 548 Charity Performance
[Righteous Passerby Jiang Citizen] This achievement brought Jiang Qi an ordinary recruitment ticket with no time limit.
Jiang Qi really has no shortage of recruitment coupons.
Especially the unlimited time recruitment coupons. Jiang Qi already has one and has been recruiting.
Jiang Qi sometimes sits in the office and is so bored that he doesn't know what to look for. He will click on the recruitment interface of this recruitment ticket to see what new job seekers have sent their resumes.
What about the thousand-year-old carp spirit that can't speak, the century-old potato spirit that just started babbling, the unconscious souls that are still floating around that the third office of the underworld didn't have time to contain, Zhang Ermazi from Lijiagou, Wangjiagou Li Ermazi from Zhangjiagou, Wang Ermazi from Zhangjiagou, all kinds of strange resumes.
It's quite interesting to watch it occasionally.
After getting another ordinary recruitment ticket with no time limit, Jiang Qi used it casually. Just like the previous one, he hung it up and just watched, thinking it was another useful tool to kill time.
Early the next morning, Jiang Qi bought the earliest ticket back to Xuncheng and returned to the amusement park with Jiang Cha.
After a night of fermentation, things have become very outrageous.
Some people say that his wife and children have run away, some say that he will have to squat for at least twenty years, some say that someone above him must be fine, some say that he is about to be executed.
The source of the news is also outrageous. It is true that my wife’s sister’s neighbor’s colleague’s son works as a security guard in a government building.
My brother-in-law's classmate's father's senior was in the xxx department. He had long been notorious and everyone wanted to beat him up, so it was no surprise that he was arrested.
Also, my brother-in-law’s mother-in-law is a waiter in the government building’s staff cafeteria. She hears gossip every day, and the information is absolutely reliable.
Anyway, there is anything to talk about, just gossip, just focus on one thing that has nothing to do with you and just talk about it. If you have news, just talk about it, no matter if it is true or false, most of these gossips have nothing to do with you anyway.
The employees who gossiped about the amusement park didn't know yet that this gossip really had something to do with them.
When Jiang Qi and Jiang Cha returned to the amusement park, the troupe was packing their luggage.
It's already April 11th, and the tour will start on April 15th.
The first tour of Fangyuan Theater lasted for two full weeks, with 14 performances every day, and the first performance was performed in Theater No. 1. Since tickets for Mulberry Picking Girl may not be easy to sell, in order to improve the theater experience for ticket-buying audiences, the No. 1 Theater with more than 2,700 seats has only released more than 2,300 tickets, freeing up 400 poorly positioned seats for employees. Welfare.
It's not like the previous movie The Princess, where the staff and actors of several departments almost got into a fight in order to grab the few employee benefits.
The empty seats this time are worth a small theater.
If this tour of "The Mulberry Picking Girl" is tepid and the publicity is carried out a month in advance, 7 versions of the poster alone will be made, and huge sums of money will be spent on advertising at bus stations, high-speed rail stations and some subway stations. Fangyuan Theater will be afraid. You will lose all your money.
At first, Jiang Qi was really worried about Fangyuan Theater losing money.
He even thought in his mind that if the ticket price of "The Mulberry Picking Girl" was the same as that of those over-hyped literary and artistic films, the publicity in the past few days had deceived many viewers who did not watch literary and artistic films into buying tickets and earning a lot of money. As for the box office, there was a word-of-mouth backlash, and the box office plummeted, and the reputation that might have been good at first also plummeted. Should he take the initiative to contact Ge Hong to refuse the dividends from "The Mulberry Picking Girl", so that Ge Hong would suffer a loss.
Two weeks is enough time for a play to go from prosperity to decline.
Wang Xinghua and Feng Ling told Jiang Qi many bloody cases.
The market is always the cruelest. There are super hits like "The Princess" that you knew would be a hit, but you didn't expect it to be that big.
There are also some operas whose names have been forgotten for a long time. Everyone has high hopes for them and thinks that the quality is not bad, but in the end they are tepid or even end miserably, and are unlucky operas that are not worthy of being remembered by the audience.
The tepid performance of "The Mulberry Picking Girl" in the amusement park made Jiang Qi even more suspicious that the play was the latter.
Good quality is of no use if it is born at the wrong time.
The amusement park has signed touring contracts with so many theaters. Only the tour time for the Fangyuan Theater is two weeks, and the tour time for other theaters is a week or even a few days. Most theaters are not as big as the Fangyuan Theater.
The revenue share is also the lowest at Fangyuan Theater.
That night, after listening to the creation story of "The Mulberry Picking Girl" written by Wang Pingxiu on the spot, Ge Hong became excited and shouted out the astonishing share ratio in public. If Jiang Qi hadn't come out in time to smooth things over, Ge Hong would have become a cancer in the industry that everyone in the circle of theater owners was shouting about.
Jiang Qi originally thought that after hearing the story, Ge Hong would immediately get excited and shout a high price. After being interrupted by him, he would go back to calm down and come back to his senses and re-quote a normal price. After all, he had already given the price to Poe.
As a result, Ge Hong's stay was a bit long.
Ge Hong, who was deeply moved by the creation story, insisted on giving the same quotation as before for "The Legend of the Princess".
Now, more than a month has passed since the quotation, and the show is about to start. Ge Hong, the boss, finally calmed down and began to regret it.
Regretful, Ge Hong looked at the publicity money spent, looked at the quotation, and thought about the viewing threshold of "Sulberry Picking Girl".
Ge Hong feels that he is not the boss, but Jiang Qi is the boss, and he is an employee who works for Jiang Qi in vain.
Ge Hong sighed deeply.
He is not afraid of not making money, nor is he afraid of losing money. He is afraid that by then everyone else on the tour will have made money, and he will lose money. Willn't he, Ge Hong, become a joke in the industry?
After thinking about life for half an hour in the office, thinking about the glory of last year's "The Princess", thinking about how much face he had in the theater circle in Shanghai during the Chinese New Year last year, and how much face he had among relatives and friends, Ge Hong felt that he I need to go to the drama club to calm down.
As soon as he left the office and was still wandering in the corridor, Ge Hong met Manager Zhu.
Ge Hong's eyes lit up.
Although Manager Zhu is the manager of the drama department, it doesn’t matter. This person was a former opera actor and is a professional!
"Manager Zhu." Ge Hong waved to Manager Zhu.
Manager Zhu quickly held his stomach and trotted over.
When people reach middle age, they inevitably gain weight. Manager Zhu worked as an opera actor, drama actor and actor in the early years. He needs to manage his body. He can't eat this or that, and his mouth is very hard. Now I can finally eat and drink a lot, but I can't let myself go. In the past few months, Manager Zhu has gained a lot of weight, and his belly has become rounder.
Manager Zhu, who cares a lot about saving face, doesn't want to be seen by everyone, so he keeps his belly tight when in contact with other people, rediscovering the feeling he had when he was an actor in his early years.
"Boss, what are your orders? Tell me if you have anything to say!" Manager Zhu said attentively.
"Do you think... "The Mulberry Picking Girl" can have 70% of the box office of "The Princess"?" Ge Hong said a statistic that he himself had little confidence in.
As long as "The Mulberry Picking Girl" has 70% of the box office of "The Princess", he will not lose money.
At that time, there is no sense in bragging. Since outsiders can't check his accounts anyway, he will just say that he has made a lot of money. This will give him confidence to brag.
"Of course!" Manager Zhu said without hesitation, "The tickets for the first three days were all sold out. "The Mulberry Picking Girl" is definitely no worse than "The Legend of the Princess"!"
"Don't flatter me, I want to hear the truth." Ge Hong said angrily, "After promoting for so long, shouldn't the tickets be sold out in the first three days?"
"Boss, what I'm telling you is the truth!" Manager Zhu opened his eyes wide, and his fair, round face that symbolized justice and had gained popularity on the screen in the early years was convincing, "Boss, why don't you watch the short video? ?”
"What?" Ge Hong said that he had nothing to do with that thing. He was not in that line of work.
""Mulberry Picking Girl" is very popular on the Internet now. Any rehearsal video has tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of likes. Everyone in the comment area wants to watch it. Many of my friends here ask me if they can buy it. Get front row VIP tickets.”
"Ah?" Ge Hong was shocked.
Seeing that his boss still didn't believe him, Manager Zhu could only take out his mobile phone and unlock it to see a short video.
In the video, a pretty girl is dancing.
Manager Zhu:…
Ge Hong:?
Manager Zhu: Oh, my boss caught me watching videos of me defecating with pay during work.
Ge Hong: At this age, Manager Zhu actually watches house dancing? !
Manager Zhu's fingers trembled slightly, and he quickly opened the watch list and found a certain number of Feng Ling's notes.
Galaxy Script Theme Park—Little Bailing.
467,000 likes, 2 followers, 1.611 million fans
Number of works: 6
The elderly can't do anything else, but they can still double-click a video to like it.
Ge Hong's eyes widened.
Manager Zhu pointed to the latest video with 40,000 likes and said: "This video was released this morning. At the end of the video, there was an advertisement for this tour. On April 15th, "The Mulberry Picking Girl" was released in Mo Du Fangyuan Theater has started a two-week tour, and the comments section is all buzzing.”
"I broke into a local Feng Ling fan support group, and someone in it organized a unified ticket purchase. People in the group said that they must support the premiere in Shanghai."
Ge Hong raised his eyebrows: "You also broke into the fan support group?"
Manager Zhu:…
"show me."
Manager Zhu hesitated: "This...isn't quite..."
"have a look."
Manager Zhu opened the WeChat group with tears in his eyes.
The group name is Baibai Magic City Fans Support Club.
It’s still a crowd of a thousand people.
Manager Zhu sent a paid message when he went to the toilet 5 minutes ago.
Zhu Youliang: I have signed posters from previous performances of The Legend of the Princess.
Zhu Youliang: [Picture]
Lao He: [Thumbs up]
Peace is blessing: Awesome!
Feng Qingyun Dan: [Applause]
…
A flash of expression and envy.
Manager Zhu wiped his sweat and explained: "Bai Bai is Little Bailing's nickname. I don't know why, but everyone calls Little Bailing Baibai."
"I'm also promoting "The Mulberry Picking Girl"."
Ge Hong:......
Come on, you're just showing off.
I use my real name to show off signed posters with a group of old men and women on WeChat, and watch house dances in a short video on a certain music channel. I hide my secrets, Manager Zhu.
Ge Hong nodded and left, leaving Manager Zhu frantically searching in the browser: What should I do if my boss discovers a little-known secret.
On the other side, after Jiang Qi returned to Xuecun to put away his luggage, he heard that the theater troupe was packing their luggage and would leave for the Magic City at noon, so he hurried to the theater to see them off.
This tour is the same as before, one after another, and I can’t come back for months. If Jiang Qi is out of town, that would be a different matter, but now that he has come back temporarily, of course he has to come to the troupe to see everyone off.
When Jiang Qi rushed to the theater, the troupe members and Wang Pingxiu were packing up props and costumes.
Everyone is very busy. After a few months away, not only do you need to pack away the things you take away, but you also need to pack away the things you don’t take away. During the last tour, someone forgot to take away the unpacked food from the cabinet. It was impossible to open the cabinet for cleaning and cleaning. When the troupe came back, the food was covered in hair.
The long white pili are the kind that would make graduate students who cultivate bacteria drool after seeing them.
"Be sure to check the things in the cabinet again and again. Take out all the canned food, Lao Ganma, olives, and dried squid for me. Don't keep the costumes in the cabinet that you don't want to take away, Xiao Wang, especially you. , you should correct your problem and don’t hide everything in the cabinet. You won’t be able to come back from this tour until mid-July, and the rainy season is in the middle. If your things are not packed away, don’t complain if they get moldy when you come back." Leader Feng was like Just like an old lady, she tells you this and that.
Compared with Leader Feng, the more experienced Wang Pingxiu is undoubtedly more professional.
Wang Pingxiu himself did not move, sitting and giving orders.
"Spray every crack."
“Same things in one place.”
"Don't move these big things. The boss said that during the tour, the theater will be open for free for a limited time as part of Taiping Town. We just need to..."
Jiang Qi stood at the door of the backstage and was surprised to find that everyone was actually listening to Wang Pingxiu's words.
You know, Wang Pingxiu is not the superior of the troupe members.
He is from the publicity department, but his work is related to the theater. He is currently responsible for the publicity work of the tour. In the past few months, he will replace Wang Xinghua and accompany the theater troupe members on tour. At first, Wang Pingxiu said that he could just go, and Wang Xinghua could stay in the amusement park, work when she had work, and ask for leave to go out for fun when she didn't have work. Jiang Qi was still a little uneasy.
It's not that I'm worried about Wang Pingxiu's ability to work, but I'm worried about Wang Pingxiu's reputation.
This person is the one that everyone in the troupe shouts about, and anyone who sees him will just say something before leaving.
Jiang Qi is not afraid of anything else but that Wang Pingxiu will be beaten in turns at night during the tour.
The result is now...
We actually get along pretty well.
"Boss, you're here!" Wang Pingxiu's sharp eyes spotted Jiang Qi squatting at the door, observing secretly, and he greeted him diligently.
"Xinghua told me last night that you would be back today. Judging from the time, you must have just arrived at the amusement park. You have been traveling so hard, why don't you rest in the snow village for a while. I see that you have lost weight. It must be very hard to travel on business. "
Jiang Qi:?
Jiang Qi thought about the food during this period, touched his face that had obviously gained a lot of weight, looked at Wang Pingxiu's distressed eyes, and recalled his sincere tone just now.
Wang Pingxiu is really a good material to be a traitor!
"I heard that you are leaving soon, come and take a look." Jiang Qi said.
“Thank you so much for your concern, boss!”
Jiang Qi glanced at the troupe members who were closer to him and found that they were still unmoved by Wang Pingxiu's explicit flattery.
what happened? Could it be that Wang Pingxiu has conquered everyone with his personality charm in the past few days without him?
Or is it that Wang Pingxiu has been adopting the character of a prodigal son who never returns for money, which has greatly changed everyone's perception of him?
Jiang Qi pulled Wang Pingxiu outside, found a place where no one was around, and asked directly.
"What's going on? Everyone treats you well."
Wang Pingxiu said with a smile: "Maybe I have managed Feng Ling's certain sound account very well recently, and everyone recognizes my ability very much."
Jiang Qi was a little hesitant and asked another question: "Have you heard about what happened last night?"
"Last night?" Wang Pingxiu was stunned and quickly realized, "Oh, the one you said was captured."
"What do you think?" Jiang Qi asked.
Wang Pingxiu:?
Wang Pingxiu was unusually confused. He hesitated for a while before asking: "Boss... it's like this. Yesterday I had to run my small account, and then there were a few orders from the online store, so I didn't care much about these things."
"There's one thing I never quite understand."
"What?"
"What is a secretary?"
Jiang Qi:......
You two, father and daughter, read some political books!
Wang Pingxiu went back and continued to direct everyone to organize things. Jiang Qi originally wanted to talk to Feng Ling, but before he could find Feng Ling, he received a call from his biological father Jiang Xiaoliang.
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Xiaoliang said loudly in an uncontrollably excited voice: "Xiao Qi, our amusement park is about to open!"
"Your father and I have heard some very reliable gossip. Our city is planning to re-designate the vocational high school area as a new development zone!"
"Your dad and I have taken a big order for our amusement park!"
"August Theater Troupe's benefit performance!"
Jiang Qi:?
What the hell?
Dad, do these four sentences of yours have anything to do with each other? (End of chapter)
