Chapter 456 Little Bailing is promising!

On the bus to Shanghai, the members of the troupe were as happy as elementary school students participating in a spring outing for the first time. They laughed and laughed along the way, and they wanted to take pictures of the novelty billboards outside the bus window.

Jiang Qi also took many photos.

He took pictures of his own billboards.

The highways around Xuncheng, especially the intersections, are all billboards of Xuecun.Everyone knows the quality of the billboards at highway crossings. Whether it is an LED electronic display or a large unpretentious banner, the pictures are rough.

Mainly rely on words, the bigger the better.

The speed of the car on the expressway is so fast, the words are too small to read clearly.

This time the troupe went to Shanghai to perform, and it was impossible for the amusement park to have only people. "The Legend of the Empress" is a big play, and it took nearly two hours to sing the whole process. All members of the theater had to perform on stage, and the number of props and costumes needed can be imagined.

Coupled with all kinds of musical instruments, the bus can't fit even if it is too small.

Whether it is costumes, props or musical instruments of the accompaniment masters, they are all the darlings of the theater members.When you pack your luggage and put it in the small space under the bus, you have to be careful. Naturally, it is impossible to mail it to Shanghai.

The actors of the troupe are basically the same as Troupe Feng, and they have been playing outside for many years.Regardless of how well she sang, at least she has a lot of performance experience, otherwise Feng Ling and Wang Xinghua wouldn't be able to appreciate it.

Many of these actors bring their own costumes and props, not to mention the musical instruments of the accompanists, they are all their own.

Those who can be hired by the actors are naturally good clothes.It's not as good as Feng Ling's Suzhou embroidery with Dongzhu, gold, and silver pieces cut out, but it's also better than the usual costumes that can be bought in the market.

"The Legend of the Empress" is the only big play in the troupe where all members can go on stage and everyone can sing.And because the playbook was written by Wang Xinghua, Wang Xinghua can directly modify the inappropriate parts, so the costumes of "The Legend of the Emperor" are basically the best of these actors.

In order to prevent the baby bumps of the troupe actors from being piled up and crush any one, Jiang Qi specially rented a 53-seater.

Large capacity, great value enjoyment.

The closer they got to the capital, the more excited everyone was.

Leader Feng is prone to motion sickness, sitting in the first row with a small bag in his arms, he would ask the driver from time to time, "Master, how long is it?"

The driver master is also good-tempered, and he answered five or six times tirelessly, and the answers were all the same.

"It's coming, it's going to be an hour."

As for how long an hour is, Leader Feng didn't know, and he wasn't interested, he simply wanted to ask, and at the same time, he grasped the packet more and more tightly.

"Boss." Feng Ling, who was sitting in the last row, ran to the third row at some point, and poked Jiang Qi, who was already dozing off in the second row, "We have so many props and costumes, put them in the hotel for safekeeping." ?"

Jiang Qi yawned, rubbed his eyes, and put down his phone: "Don't put it in the hotel, put it in the theater. Later, go to the theater first. Yang Chaoge specially prepared a prop room for us. It's empty, only our costumes and props are placed. "

"That's good." Feng Ling was relieved now, showing an expectant look, "I'll see the Fangyuan Theater soon, Xinghua said that the Fangyuan Theater is a newly opened theater, the decoration is very good, the facilities are new, and the stage is also big. I really want to see you soon."

Jiang Qi smiled and said: "Didn't you all see the photos on the Internet? The stage is really big, and the small theater that Yang Chaoge arranged for me is not small at all. I have inquired, and there are only seventy or eighty small theaters in the Fangyuan Theater." Seats, the theater where you perform has more than 300 seats, it is a very good theater."

"That's right, and the tickets are selling well, with 71% of the tickets sold. According to my statistics, the Fangyuan Theater has invited foreign troupes to perform over the years, and the average attendance rate for the first performance is only 80%." Wang Xinghua said from The back row poked his head out, "If there is still on-site ticket purchase tomorrow, and if we are lucky, we can sell 80% of the tickets, and we will reach the average level."

"Then let's make a lot of money, no, it's too slow to make a big deal, we should be a blockbuster." Wang Xinghua held up a finger, "The second game is 2% sold, it's a hit! The third game is directly exchanged for a thousand-person theater, to become famous Li Wan is now!"

Feng Ling was amused by Wang Xinghua's exaggerated tone and expression. She covered her mouth and laughed until her voice trembled: "Okay, I will try my best to make "The Legend of the Emperor" famous."

While talking and laughing, the devil has arrived.

After entering the urban area, everyone in the car stopped chatting and sat quietly.Jiang Qi knew that the closer he was to the Fangyuan Theater, the more nervous everyone would be. Except for Feng Ling who had seen the world when he was singing, the others rarely had the chance to be on stage in the city theater, let alone the big theater in Shanghai.

It's normal to be nervous.

It doesn't matter how nervous you are now, as long as you are nervous and show your timidity when you are not on stage.

At this time, the advantages of Wang Xinghua's criteria for selecting people back then were revealed—she picked people who were not happy in appearance and had good psychological qualities.

Walking through the streets and roads with towering buildings, Jiang Qi found that the location of Fangyuan Theater seemed to be pretty good, not far from the CBD, not in the suburbs.

To be able to open a new theater in such a place, the owner of Fangyuan Theater is rich enough!
Feng Zhiqiu was able to open a script killing shop near the Fangyuan Theater, so she was quite rich.

Yang Chaoge was waiting for Jiang Qi and others in the parking lot.

Yang Chaoge looks no different from his WeChat avatar, except that he is a little more imposing.The momentum here does not refer to domineering, but professional, capable, professional appearance at first glance, no matter what she says, people will subconsciously be convinced.

There was an acquaintance standing beside Yang Chaoge.

Wearing a ponytail, Yang Qing is full of youthful spirit and smiling all over her face.

As soon as the people on the bus got off the bus, Yang Qing seamlessly switched to the attentive intern mode.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Feng. You haven't been motion sick for so long, right? Are you feeling well? I boiled hot water for you in the lounge of the theater. I know, Mr. Feng, you like to drink water soaked in goji berries. Goji berries me Already prepared."

"Do you have a lot of luggage? Do you need my help to carry it? Let me hug this drum!"

"Hi Teacher Bailing, I have prepared your favorite black tea for you in the lounge!"

"It's been a long time, Manager Wang. Wow, this coat on your body is new, right? It suits you so well!"

"Hello, Boss Jiang, I didn't expect you to come with me."

"Ms. Luo, is your throat getting better? Don't catch a cold during the season change."

"Mr. Zhou, you also brought your gaohu. You have a bad waist and let me move it later. Don't worry, I will definitely handle it lightly."

"Teacher Liao..."

Yang Qing is like a hardworking bee, shuttling back and forth among the members of the troupe, everyone can take care of saying hello, busy, carrying luggage and leading the way.

Yang Chaoge: ...

Looking at his niece who wished to grow 8 arms, Yang Chaoge felt that he was not in the parking lot to pick up people.

"Boss Jiang." Yang Chaoge smiled and stretched out his hand to Jiang Qi, "It's been hard work coming from afar, and I'll take you to the theater later. The theater has prepared a special rehearsal room for you, and now Theater No. 3 happens to be If it is empty, you can go directly to the theater stage to walk through the show."

"If you have any additional needs, feel free to tell me, and I will try my best to meet them."

Jiang Qi smiled politely: "Manager Yang is really polite, let's save the props first."

There are not too many costumes and props that need to be placed in the theater storage room, and it is enough for one person to move them one by one.

Yang Chaoge and led everyone to the theater. I don't know if he chose the path intentionally. Jiang Qi saw the poster of "The Legend of the Emperor" as soon as he entered the theater gate.

This poster is provided by the amusement park. It is a retro simple hand-painted poster with a small portrait of Princess Feng Ling in disguise painted by Wang Xinghua.

In the era of Feng Ling and Wang Xinghua, the posters of new dramas were all drawn like this.The poster needs to have the name of the play and the red characters. For red characters like Feng Ling, movie fans buy tickets by watching people.

They didn't care what kind of play Feng Ling sang or what themes were, as long as it was sung by Feng Ling, they would buy a ticket to see it.Therefore, the proportion of the red corner on the poster is very important. The font of the play name can be small, but the name of the red corner must be large.

There are very few posters of this type now. Fangyuan Theater probably thought that the posters provided by the amusement park were rather retro and interesting, so they didn’t change them and used them directly.

"Tomorrow night's performance, I've reserved a middle seat in the first row for you, Boss Jiang." Yang Chaoge said at the right time when passing by the poster.

"The tickets for "The Legend of the Emperor" sold quite well, especially the high-priced tickets. As soon as the tickets were issued, 21 tickets were sold at one time. Now the good seats in the first five rows are almost sold out. It seems that "The Legend of the Emperor" is in the We also have fans here."

Jiang Qi nodded with a smile, thinking that there are indeed fans, but not fans of the theater troupe, but fans of script killing.

It turns out that there are 21 employees in Feng Zhiqiu's shop.

Great, not 26.

The Fangyuan Theater has 5 floors in total, and the total area is quite large.

The 9 theaters, from No. 1 to No. 9, are arranged according to the size of the theater.

Theater No. 1 is a thousand-person theater with a total of more than 2700 seats. The auditorium is raised step by step, divided into upper and lower floors. It is so big that Jiang Qi thinks that the audience who buy the back row tickets need to use binoculars to see the stage is not an exaggeration.

The stage is so big, and those who appear on the stage less frequently will probably feel their legs go weak when they look at the crowd.

However, theater No. 1 is rarely used.

As a household with difficulty selling tickets for the Fangyuan Theater, the Opera Department has never used Theater No. 1, and usually goes around Theater No. 3.When I was in a bad situation, I went to the No. 5 theater to perform. The No. 5 theater is a standard small theater with only about 100 seats.

The theaters No. 6, 7, 8, and 9 in the future will be even smaller.These 4 theaters do not even have 100 seats, and are usually used for performances such as puppet shows and children's plays.Occasionally, it is also used to give newcomers a chance to go on stage, let newcomers perform in these really small theaters, and sell some ridiculously cheap tickets.

Under normal circumstances, when the opera department's performances were reduced to Theater No. 5, Yang Chaoge would start inviting troupes from other places to perform, giving his own troupe time to rehearse new plays.

Therefore, the troupe of the Fangyuan Theater has no rejection of foreign troupes. From their point of view, foreign troupes are here to help support the stage, and if they are lucky, they can exchange experiences with each other.

After visiting the theater, Jiang Qi went to Yang Chaoge's office to sign the contract.The content of the contract has been drawn up by both parties long ago, and the performance time is from November 11th to November 19th, spanning two weeks.

The Fangyuan Theater has promised at least three performances, that is, the three performances on the 19th, 20th and 21st that are currently billed.

As for the follow-up performances, it depends on the effects of the first three performances.

The amusement park has also made a request. If the average attendance rate of the first three games is above 85%, the amusement park has the right to ask for an increase in the share.

Fangyuan Theater happily agreed to this condition.If the average attendance rate of the first three shows is above 85%, there is no need for the amusement park to ask for it, and the Fangyuan Theater itself will raise the salary and ask Feng Ling and the others to perform a few more shows.

The rest of the finer terms are being discussed by He Lu's law firm.Jiang Qi took a photo of the contract and sent it to He Lu, and both parties signed it after confirming that there was no problem.

It may be because the tickets were sold well, Yang Chaoge's attitude was very enthusiastic, and after signing the contract, he accompanied Jiang Qi to the No. 3 theater to watch the troupe take their seats.

Feng Ling and the others took their positions on the stage, and there were quite a few people watching curiously.There were members of the troupe of the Fangyuan Theater, and actors from the musical, dance, and puppet shows next door. Jiang Qi only found out after inquiring that these actors came here specially after hearing that Feng Ling and the others had arrived.

What is the content of "The Legend of the Empress", you can find it by searching the Internet.

The heroine, the rebirth of the novel, the revenge and counterattack, the queen's ascension to the throne...

"The Legend of the Queen" has been performed in the amusement park for so long before, and the number of audiences is quite large.It's just because the amusement park is a special place. Most of the people who have watched "The Legend of the Emperor" are from the local and surrounding cities of Xuncheng. Not well known locally.

The actors of the Fangyuan Theater can easily search the Internet to know how novel the operas of the opera troupe invited by the Opera Department are.

My dear, isn't it more beautiful to be an empress than to beat a mandarin duck?
Others expressed their concerns.

"Will the plot be too novel and the audience won't accept it?" The person who said this knew it was from the opera department. "The average age of the audience in our theater is quite old."

"Yeah, if the audiences of dramas or musicals are okay, operas... are a bit difficult." A tall beauty propped her chin up and said.

Other actors focused on different points: "What kind of opera does this troupe sing? Kunqu opera? The costumes are really beautiful, much better than your usual costumes."

"Huangmei Opera, wait a minute, what do you mean by that? What do you mean their costumes look better than ours?"

"I... I think the one on the little girl in the middle looks... pretty good."

"Nonsense, can it be good? I just asked about it, Suxiu."

"Hiss—didn't you mean a troupe in a small place? So big?"

"Small places don't allow people to be rich? Maybe they earn more than us. I heard that the owner of their theater troupe is rich. Manager Yang's niece was an intern there before, and she can perform on stage during her internship." Otherwise, how could Manager Yang invite them over?"

"Eh? Manager Yang is looking for a relationship? How did I hear it was introduced by Teacher Yin Feiyin?"

The onlookers in the audience were chatting in a hurry, but the actors walking on the stage didn't care at all.Feng Ling also asked the onlookers in the audience to help see if there is any problem with the positioning. Everyone is a professional, so it is no problem to see this.

After familiarizing themselves with the stage, everyone chatted. The actors of the Fangyuan Theater also introduced to Feng Ling and the others which delicious restaurants were nearby, which restaurants were expensive and expensive.

A box lunch for everyone to eat at night.

Actors performing in the theater are different from actors on TV. Most of the actresses in the entertainment industry are either thin or dead, and they want to be accurate to grams when they eat.Although the actors in the theater also control their diet, they are not so perverted.

Especially opera actors, they just pay attention not to eat spicy food to protect their voices, but they are not so particular about other aspects.

Because of their appearance, opera actors should not be too thin, their faces should be slightly rounder, and their bodies should not be too flat or they will not be able to support the costumes.The most important thing is that if a person is too thin after a long-term diet to lose weight, he will be short of energy and it will not be a good show.

This is why Feng Ling is just a beautiful little beauty with baby fat in the current aesthetics, but in the eyes of most opera actors, she is a standard beauty suitable for singing on stage.

Especially after Feng Ling sang two voices, the head of the Fangyuan Theater Troupe, Huadan, is in her early 30s, tall, well-maintained, with bright features, and she was worried about whether the theme of "The Legend of the Emperor" would be in the audience. Ms. Yao, who was so novel that the audience couldn't accept it, held Feng Ling's hand with tears in her eyes, lamenting that Feng Ling was born at an untimely time.

This appearance, this figure, this voice, and the appearance on the stage just now, if he was born in the era of prosperous opera, he would definitely be a red horn. If he is lucky, he might even be able to sing the famous Boss Feng.

It's a pity, times have changed, Feng Ling's looks are no longer popular, and people nowadays don't like beauties with oval faces.

Otherwise, Feng Ling could change the track and go to the next door to chase dreams about the entertainment industry.

After dinner, Ms. Yao, the leading actress, immediately decided that tomorrow's performance must bring members of the Fangyuan Theater troupe to support "The Legend of the Queen".

Even if the elderly audience in the audience can't accept it and there is no sound at the curtain call, they will applaud hard and be a good extra and atmosphere group.

As the saying goes, as long as I am not embarrassed, others are the ones who are embarrassed. Ms. Yao said that the important task of supporting her will be left to her.

Then on the second night, Ms. Yao was slapped in the face.

The play starts at 7 o'clock, and the audience can enter and sit in advance around 6 o'clock.

It is true that most of the audience at the theater are elderly people.

But there are also many young people.

For example, the first three rows were contracted by the young man.

These little youngsters have one thing in common.

They brought lights.

Ms. Yao was dumbfounded. She had sung Peking Opera at the Fangyuan Theater for several years and had seen audiences with illuminated signs, but those audiences must not have come to see the opera.

Manager Yang, our Chinese opera department is making great progress!

Sitting in the first row, Jiang Qi looked at Feng Zhiqiu next door who was holding a light sign, and was also dazed.

The light sign Feng Zhiqiu was wearing was red, very conspicuous, with only three characters on it, Little Bailing.

"Are you a fan of Little Bailing?" Jiang Qi began to wonder if there was something wrong with his memory. Didn't Feng Zhiqiu go to an amusement park before?Where did she get the chance to listen to Feng Ling sing?
"No, I'm not here to join in the show. I searched the Internet and found that the stage name of the leading actress in your troupe is Xiao Bailing. When I was watching a drama before, I saw fans bring a light sign. It is to light up before the opening to officially start the performance." It was closed when it was time, mainly to support the atmosphere of the scene.”

"I just brought people to support the scene, of course I have to make a light sign."

Feng Zhiqiu said that the fan leader, she is a professional.

Speaking of which, Feng Zhiqiu turned her head to look at the back row, pointed to some young audience members in the back row who were also holding the light board with Xiao Bailing's name, and asked, "Are they also Boss Jiang's friends?"

At first, Feng Zhiqiu thought that she would look lonely holding the light sign, so she specially made two, one in the first row and one in the second row. Anyway, there are people from her shop in both the first row and the second row.

Unexpectedly, there are quite a lot of light signs, three or four.

Jiang Qi turned his head to look at the familiar light signs in the back row, and felt that Wang Xinghua must not have invited them.

Because of these lights he recognized them.

It is around the amusement park.

For a while, Wang Xinghua didn't know what to produce, so she just kept making a batch of Xiao Bailing's light signs, and they sold very well.

The side effect is that when you walk into the theater before the show starts, you will feel that it is a concert scene, and all the lights are in sight.

"No." Jiang Qi said, "They should be pure fans of Xiao Bailing."

Bought the kind around the light board.
