Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 291
Chen Yang first asked Chen Fuming how much money the troupe had invested.

Chen Fuming said that it cost about 1000 yuan.

Chen Yang became even more curious.

Chen Fuming borrowed 2000 yuan from him, and Tong Laogui also borrowed 2000 yuan. The cost of the troupe is only [-] yuan. What is the rest of the money for?

Chen Fuming told Chen Yang that he actually had 2000 yuan himself, and Cai Hongmei also had 1000 yuan on hand, adding up to a total of 7000 yuan.

In Suzhou, it cost about 2000 yuan to buy a booth.

I ordered a motor boat at the shipyard, and if the machine is added, it will cost about 2000 yuan.

It is also expedient to rent Tian Laodan's boat now.Tian Laodan's boat is broken and old, and it won't take much time.

In addition, I also ordered a whole set of costumes and props. If I buy all of them, it will cost at least 1000 yuan.

Calculated in this way, the money is not too much, the expenditure is 6000 yuan, and only 1000 yuan is left on hand for spare.

"Brother Yang, I won't hide it from you. Hongmei can act, but I can only do odd jobs. We don't know how to manage a troupe of thirty people. Hongmei asked me to come here to ask you for advice."

Chen Yang nodded, "I don't know how to manage, but I just have some ideas for your reference."

"Brother Yang, tell me."

"First, I heard that you have a monthly salary of 1000 yuan for a troupe of [-] people. Is this enough?"

Chen Fuming smiled, "That's enough. In the early days, Hongmei and I didn't have to pay wages. And those ten children were recruited as apprentices. They just took care of the food and gave some living allowances. Salary."

"Oh, so that's what it is."

"The remaining 45 people, Tian Laodan and his wife are odd jobs, and their salary is not high. There are six people in the backstage, only the drummer and the erhu are a little higher. The salaries of the ten main actors are also high and low. In general, the average The monthly salary is around [-] yuan."

Chen Yang hummed, "The monthly salary is 45 yuan, including food and housing. According to the current market, it is considered acceptable."

Chen Fuming said, "The key is whether there is any business. There are [-] days of performances in a month, and the capital can be guaranteed, and the rest is profit."

Chen Yang asked, "Then who is in charge of the business?"

"Now I'm running with Tian Laodan."

"After the performance in our Chenjia Village, which village is the next stop?"

"not yet."

"Then what are you doing here with me? Hurry up, hurry up and find the next village."

All beginnings are hard.

Zhen Yang really helped Chen Fuming.

New troupes, high and low, are all premiering.

The Hongmei Yue Opera Troupe's performance in Chenjia Village was not only unprecedented, but also sensational.

The performances every day attract thousands of spectators.

These audiences come from ten miles and eight villages, and the farthest ones come from thirty miles away.

The effect of publicity also comes naturally.

The next performance business has been scheduled until the middle of February in the lunar calendar after the Spring Festival.

The price of the show has also increased from 120 per day to [-] per day.

Cai Hongmei and the others are also very hardworking in their performances. After all, they are professional actors from the county Yue Opera Troupe, and their performance level is also very high.

Chen Yang is happy for his friend.

Chen Yang understands that this is a new industry, and it should be thriving in the next three to five years.

The first come first benefits, Cai Hongmei dares to think and act, and enters first, the development of her and her troupe will not be too bad.

The fifth day of the performance happened to be the penultimate day of [-].

Five p.m.

Chen Yang took out a jar of rice wine from his grandfather's wine cellar, held it in his hand, and came to Chen Fuming's house.

Chen Fuming is not at home and is busy with the troupe.

Chen Yaoping runs a small shop, and his wife is guarding the shop.

When Chen Yang entered, Chen Fuming's mother smiled and smacked in the back.

The back room is where the old couple lived, except for a bed and a table, it was full of things for sale.

Chen Yang came in and coughed twice.

Chen Yaoping was lying on the bed, still looking sulking, he hadn't accepted the sudden extra daughter-in-law in his heart.

Chen Yang put down the wine jar and bowed to Chen Yaoping first.

Chen Yaoping hurriedly sat up.

In terms of seniority, Chen Yang happened to be a junior.

Among all the juniors, Chen Yaoping valued Chen Yang the most, and never treated him as a junior.

"Yan, what are you doing?"

"Uncle Yao, I'm sorry, I'm also responsible for Fuzi's matter."

"Stupid words, uncle doesn't blame you. Alas, my son can't help my father. It's like this, so I have to accept it."

Chen Yang said, "Uncle Yao, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As long as Fuzi feels happy, you have nothing to worry about."

"Well, you sit and you sit. Jan, listening to you speaks, I feel at ease."

Chen Yang sat down, and the uncle and nephew started smoking.

Chen Yang said with a smile, "This show has been on for five days. If you don't go, you won't see the show, and you won't give others face. You won't be able to justify it inside and out."

Chen Yaoping chuckled, embarrassed to answer the question.

"Uncle Yao, I brought wine. I'm having dinner at your house. After dinner, can we go to the theater together?"

"Listen to you, hey, listen to you."

"Uncle Yao, what else is on your mind, tell me, and I will analyze it for you."

Chen Yaoping thought about it.

"Yang, I'm not worried about other things, and I don't care. But I heard that Fuzi borrowed 2000 yuan from you, and also borrowed 2000 yuan from Tong Laogui. I'm afraid that Fuzi will mess around and make a hole."

"Oh, what about this, let me analyze it for you..."

After hearing this, Chen Yaoping fully opened his brows, "Yang, my heart is bright now."

"Uncle Yao, don't worry. In three to five years, no matter how much they struggle, they won't lose money financially."

"Yeah. Yang, help me watch and take care of it."

"I know, I promise."

Chen Yangzhen ate at Chen Yaoping's place, drank a lot of wine, and then accompanied him to the playground in front of the village department.

Since acting, it was the first time Chen Yaoping showed up. Everyone was very concerned and came over to say hello.

Singing in the countryside is divided into day performances and night performances.

During the day, it is from 04:30 pm to [-]:[-], and in the evening, it is from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-]. One short and one long, add up to one day.

Chen Yang doesn't know much about theater, and he doesn't really like watching theater. He only came here for a few days.Buy some snacks at the stall, eat and leave.

But the family is terrible.

Grandpa, grandma, mother, and eldest sister are all big fans of the four major dramas, and they haven't missed a minute so far.

Beside them, there are also female teachers from the village primary school, including Fang Liping and Han Cailing, who are always on the scene.

Chen Yang saw that Chen Yaoping was surrounded by everyone, so he quietly backed away.

Chen Yang walked to the snack stand, bought a lot of snacks, and sent them to his grandparents.

After doing this, I retreated to the big camphor tree and came to the other side of the camphor tree.Seeing that there was no one around, he climbed up the tree and hid in the shade.

This was Chen Yang's favorite game when he was a child.

The camphor tree is tall and big, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and is evergreen all the year round. It is difficult to be found by hiding on it.

But as soon as he sat down on the branch, Chen Yang saw a person coming down from the tree.

Chen Yang's eyes lit up, isn't this Chen Hongling?
