Chapter 121: Ticket Sales

On January 5th, Xie Fei got up early. In fact, he didn't sleep well at all, and after squinting for a while, he got up. His heart hung in the air, worried about concert tickets.

There are three types of concert tickets, the ticket price for the auditorium on the back is six cents, the auditorium on both sides is eight cents, and the front auditorium is one. After the ticket price was announced, many people complained to Xie Fei, saying that the ticket price was too expensive. Even he himself felt that this price was indeed expensive in terms of the consumption level of the citizens of Beiping. Although Xu Wangqiu and they did an investigation, this ticket price was acceptable to many audiences, but Xie Fei's heart was always hanging.

After washing, Xie Fei didn't eat breakfast and rode his bicycle to the ticket sales site of the Capital Gymnasium.

After riding forward for a while, Xie Fei shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that I was really confused, I forgot that I didn't officially sell tickets until nine o'clock, and it was not yet six o'clock, who would come out so early? Why don't you find a place to eat and go there early? He looked at the time, it was only 6:45, and even if I searched all over Beiping City so early, I am afraid that I would not be able to find a breakfast shop that opened. There was no way, he could only withstand the cold wind and continue to ride forward.

When I rode to the Capital Gymnasium, the sky was bright. But Xie Fei was taken aback by the scene in front of him, and there was a long queue in front of the closed gate of the stadium ticket gate. Everyone wore padded jackets, scarves, and gloves, and waited quietly.

Xie Fei thought he was dazzled, stopped the bicycle, and rubbed his eyes. That's right, there were really a lot of people queuing! A smile suddenly bloomed on his face, Wangqiu was right, the audience was much more enthusiastic than I thought! The concert was done! The funding of our field was no longer a problem!

At the same time, in a girls' dormitory at Peking University, Su Bai was wearing cotton clothes, crossed his waist and shouted: "Cancan, Sister Xiaoyue, why are you still sleeping! We are going to buy tickets for the concert, you get up quickly!"

In this era, theatrical performances often have a lot of ticket increases, and many units are also used to increasing tickets. As soon as I heard that there was a performance, I would call to increase the number of tickets, and it didn't change until the 90s. Due to the fact that a large number of tickets were taken away by other units and departments for free, the various song and dance troupes could not make money, and it was very difficult to operate.

After the advertisement for the "Into the New Era" concert went out, many units and government departments called Nortel and wanted to give away tickets, but they were all rejected by Xu Wangqiu. Whether it is Nortel teachers and students, various song and dance troupes, or government departments, there is not a single free ticket, and Su Bai and they are no exception, if they want to watch the performance, they must buy their own tickets.

Su Bai dragged and dragged his roommate out of bed. After they finished washing, they dragged them to Beihai Stadium. A few girls arrived in front of the Beihai Stadium in a chirping sound like happy sparrows. But they were all shocked by the scene in front of them, and there were hundreds of people lined up in front of the stadium's ticket window.

"Wouldn't it, there are so many people queuing?" the girls couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and their footsteps couldn't help but stop.

"Look, I'll tell you, come early, come early, you won't listen! Now you know, hurry up and line up." Su Bai pulled Liu Cancan and they ran to the crowd in line, at the back of the line.

In front of Su Bai and the others were several young girls, who were very tall, basically above 1.8 meters. Su Bai and the others looked at a few girls curiously, they should be from the basketball team when they are so tall, right? Liu Cancan asked directly: "Comrades, are you from the basketball team?"

A few tall girls let out hearty laughter: "We're not on the basketball team, we're on the volleyball team." ”

Hearing that they belonged to the volleyball team, Su Bai asked, "Are you from the national team or the city team?"

A girl who looked a little like Momoe Yamaguchi smiled, "We are from the national team. ”

The Chinese women's volleyball team was not particularly strong in the 70s and has not won the championship, and now the hegemon of the Asian women's volleyball team is the Dongying team. However, in the Asian Women's Volleyball Championship last year, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the world champion Dongying women's volleyball team and dominated Asia for the first time, which made many people realize that the women's volleyball team may be about to rise.

Now that they heard that a few girls were women's volleyball teams, Su Bai and the others were in awe: "I heard that you played the Dongying women's volleyball team very beautifully in the Asian Championships." "Now you are the Asian champion, next time you try to win the world championship. "That's right, strive to win the world championship next time and win glory for the motherland. Flash"

The girls of the women's volleyball team saw Su Bai and their chests pinned with the emblem of Peking University, knowing that they were Peking University students, and nodded at them with a smile. One of them, a girl with short hair who looked a little like a boy, waved her fist and said, "We will definitely do it! We will defeat the Dongying women's volleyball team, the American women's volleyball team, the Soviet women's volleyball team, and the Cuban women's volleyball team, and then become the world champion!"

Su Bai liked this girl's coolness very much, and asked with a smile, "What is your name and what position are you playing?"

The short-haired girl said directly: "My name is Lang Ping, and I am the main attacker." ”

At the same time, a group of young people in green military uniforms were riding 28 bicycles, laughing and rushing to the Capital Stadium. The young man in the lead is in his twenties, not tall, with a bit of long hair, which gives him a rebellious feel.

One of the young men said to the rebellious youth: "Cui Jian, is this concert really as good as you say? Don't fool us! The cheapest ticket for this concert is six cents, which is too expensive." Everyone can add a little more, and they can go to Lao Mo to rub it. ”

Another young man said: "Yes, Guo Lanying sings all folk songs and revolutionary songs, and the old-fashioned Li Guyi sings to mend the pot, the soil is dead, it is better to buy some food and wine, and find a place to listen to Teresa Teng." ”

This group of young people are all children of the Air Force compound, just like Wang Shuo, Ye Jing and others depicted in film and television works, they usually always play together, fight, steal chickens and touch dogs, and the relationship is extremely iron. The leading young man is called Cui Jian, Cui Jian's father is a cadre of the Air Force Military Band, and his mother is a dance member.

Cui Jian is very talented in music and has been learning trumpet since he was 14 years old. At a parent-teacher meeting, the Chinese teacher told his father that he should not let Cui Jianlian be numbered, and his development in Shanghai would be more promising. Due to the atmosphere that was not available at home, and they were worried that they might be sent to the countryside to go to the countryside after being with them, they did not take the teacher's advice and continued to let Cui Jianxue trumpet. Now Cui Jian is a professional trumpeter of the Beiping Aihe Orchestra.

A friend of Cui Jian is from the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe is the main force in this concert, with three singers. Since the rehearsals of the three singers were mostly held in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, Cui Jian's friends had seen and heard the songs they sang. My friend talked about this when he was chatting with Cui Jian, and told Cui Jian everything he heard and saw.

Many of these are new things that Cui Jian has never heard of at all, and when he heard that these would be performed at the concert, he was immediately interested. In line with the principle of having good things to share with his buddies, Cui Jian pulled a few of his buddies.

Now hearing the brothers questioning themselves, Cui Jian smiled disdainfully: "You also know Teresa Teng, who is shallow." What is Teresa Teng, do you know rock cocks, do you know the carpenter group, do you know Dongying singing?"

In this era, it is very difficult to listen to Teresa Teng, to be sneaky, the European and American music that can be accessed is basically classical music, even if they are big courtyard boys, it is not much better. Of course, some of the second generation can get access to the latest foreign music, such as Lin Liguo, but these people are not Cui Jian's access to them at all.

Now when I heard Cui Jian spit out a long list of terms that I had never heard before, such as rock rooster and Dongying singing, I was all stunned, and my eyes looking at Cui Jian were full of admiration. One of them asked, "What's a rock?"

Cui Jian thought to himself, where the do I know what a rock is, I also listened to what others said, the person who told me couldn't say it clearly, he also listened to others. But they have already pretended, and they must be pretended to the end. Cui Jian sneered: "I don't understand, rock is music that is completely different from folk songs, operas, and Teresa Teng, and it is very awesome music." Rock Rooster is a man, very famous abroad, I forget what the name is, but very famous. ”

When a few young people saw Cui Jian say this, they didn't ask again, which would make them seem very ignorant, but they were very excited in their hearts, and they made up their minds to listen to this concert well, and when they heard what a rock rooster is, what is Dongying singing, then we can also go to other people and pretend to be forced.

If the big courtyard disciples of Sijiu City don't pretend to be forced, are they still the big courtyard disciples of Sijiu City?

Cui Jian and the others whistled, pedaled their bicycles, talked and laughed all the way, and arrived at the zoo in a short time. At this moment, Cui Jian saw a long line not far ahead. The line is so long that you can't see the end in sight. One thing is for sure, though, the line is coming from the Capital Gymnasium.

Cui Jian and the others stopped their bicycles, looked at each other, and they all showed surprised looks, these people don't line up to buy concert tickets, right? Cui Jian hesitated for a moment, pedaled the bicycle to the back of the line, and shouted at a young man in line: "Dude, what are you waiting in such a long line to buy?"

The man replied, "Buy a ticket to the New Age Concert." ”

Cui Jian and the others were completely stunned, it turned out to be true, there is a kilometer from the zoo to the gymnasium, and the people queuing up to buy tickets actually lined up from the gymnasium to here, this is too much!

In fact, not only the Capital Gymnasium, but also Beihai Stadium, Xuanwu Stadium, Xinjiekou South Street Tsinghua Sporting Goods Store, Wangfujing Street Lisheng Sporting Goods Store, Haidian Stadium, there is a long queue in front of each concert ticket office. Among the spectators queuing to buy tickets, there were old people in their fifties and sixties, young people in their twenties, middle school students in their teens, girls in red cotton jackets, and young men in green military coats

In front of Haidian Stadium, Liang Xiaosheng stood in the crowd and looked at the more than fifty-meter-long team in front of him, and sighed slightly.

Liang Xiaosheng is the editor of Beijing Film Studio, likes to write, and also likes to listen to music. Usually, Liang Xiaosheng rarely comes out to watch performances, because tickets for performances are very expensive. However, as the editor of the film studio, after he heard that this concert was organized by Xu Wangqiu, he was very curious and wanted to know what kind of performance Xu Wangqiu would make in this movie day. It's just that he never dreamed that there would be so many spectators who came to buy tickets, and there would be such a long queue.

Liang Xiaosheng turned his head to look back, and the crowd waiting to buy tickets lined up in a long queue of thousands of meters.

It didn't take long for the queue to buy tickets to be so long! The surging crowd behind him made Liang Xiaosheng feel lucky, fortunately he came early enough, otherwise he didn't know when he would have waited.

At this moment, there was a commotion in front of the team. Liang Xiaosheng turned his head to see that the ticket window had opened, and the line in front of him began to squirm forward like a snake. Liang Xiaosheng exhaled softly: "Finally start selling tickets!"
