Chapter 150: Before the Show
Chen Xiao only stayed at home for three days.
During these three days, he went to the theater every day to help maintain order.
This is all something that needs to be experienced at the beginning of an industry, and when it takes a long time and people generally know what to do, there is no need for anyone to watch.
In just a few days, if nothing else, there are many people who come to video.
The drive-in theater is like becoming an Internet celebrity mecca, especially in several surrounding counties, the circle of friends has basically been swiped by this theater, and its news is everywhere.
Now the news in the county is circulating quickly, and Chen Xiao's first drive-in theater in the country seems to be famous in the surrounding area, and the traffic is continuous every day.
Until the novelty of people passes, the theater is not short of customers for the time being.
If you want to stand on your feet after that, it depends on your ability.
In general, the operation of the theater is relatively successful now.
When the theater was gradually on the right track, Chen Xiao returned to the magic capital.
After almost two months, The Phantom of the Opera has been rehearsed, and now all that remains is familiarity with the musical.
It's hard to go through a two-hour show without making a mistake, especially with only two months of rehearsals.
But this is not a professional musical crew after all, and now Chen Xiao is very satisfied with this situation.
Especially music.
There is nothing to say about the ability of this orchestra, and after two performances, there will basically be no mistakes.
Just when "The Phantom of the Opera" was about to be released, the musical "Miserable Life" of the Yenching Conservatory of Music had been staged at the Yenching Concert Hall.
Because it is a student work, tickets are sold slightly cheaper.
The lowest ticket price is only 68 yuan, and the highest price is only 580 yuan.
Although there are more people who go to concerts to listen to pop music nowadays, there are always many people who love to watch musicals.
Especially at the beginning of the school year, many students have begun to watch musicals in groups.
"Miserable Life" can be said to be the most award-winning musical among the musicals, and it is well deserved to be called the most classic.
Coupled with the competition between the two schools that was rumored on the Internet before, the popularity of this matter has been high.
Some people even called this event a musical theater war.
So when the show began to sell tickets, it was unexpectedly sought after.
There is almost unanimous anticipation on the Internet.
And the Yenching Conservatory of Music did not live up to everyone's expectations, although the emotional performance still seemed to be a little childish, and it could not show the loneliness of being abandoned by the world, but on the whole, it was done very well.
"Overall, Yenching Academy's "Miserable" is still worthy of praise, of course, I am talking about the fact that there are only two months of rehearsal, especially in the accompaniment, 4 points for music and 3.5 points for performance, continue to work hard. ”
"The acting skills are not enough, the voice is to make up, and at this point, they are very smart, such as using duets to express the complex hearts of the characters, and even verbal and physical conflicts. ”
"Now I'm looking forward to the Phantom of the Opera from the Magic City Conservatory of Music, the magic city has undoubtedly become the most important frontier of Chinese musicals, and the audience for musicals is also the largest, but "The Phantom of the Opera" is only a new drama after all, and I don't know if it can be recognized by the market. ”
"On the contrary, I think the performances of these students are very good, the focus of the musical is musical, the performance is just a form, and this form, they have done it, and they have done it very well. ”
Only one day after the Yenching performance, the name "Phantom of the Opera" appeared on the performance schedule of the Oriental Art Center.
It's not prime time, it's a time when performances are booked three or four months in advance.
As for the ticket price, it is the same price as "Miserable Life".
68-580 yuan.
The show will be a week away, and now that advance tickets have begun, the time is still a bit rushed.
However, the school's publicity has already begun, and with the students of the school, I believe there will still be a lot of audiences by then.
Chen Xiao also helped promote it on his Weibo.
Life is not perfect without watching a musical.
Chen Xiao naturally hopes that the higher the box office, the better.
Speaking of which, he also has a box office share as the copyright controller.
The school gave him a 15% share of the box office, which means that as long as he sells for 100 yuan, he can get 15 yuan of it.
And the rest, most of them belong to the school.
Because the school acts as both a producer and a promoter, and also acts as an investor, there is a reason to get the lion's share.
And the salary of the student?
Students say they don't know they are paid.
"In a week, we were going to actually perform on stage, so the next two days of rest were canceled, and everyone practiced a few more times to try not to make mistakes when performing. After finishing the day's rehearsal, Shen Di announced the cancellation of the rest day.
Although the rest day was canceled, no one objected.
The atmosphere of the musical crew is very different now than it was at the beginning.
The previous crew laughed and played from time to time, but now they are only dignified, as if everyone is tense.
There is no one to even find Chen Xiao to tell a story.
But it's no wonder, after all, this is everyone's first official performance, and I don't know how many audiences we have to face, if I don't feel nervous, it will definitely be impossible.
"I don't think I'm going to be on stage in a few days, I'm not ready yet. ”
"Me too, I can't sleep at the thought of the performance in a week. ”
"What are you nervous about, you just play the trumpet offstage, you don't even show your face, you can get over the indiscriminate charge, if you want to be nervous, I'm nervous, if I make a mistake, it's a shame, not only I'm ashamed, but the school has to be ashamed. You say, the school puts so much pressure on me, can I not be nervous?"
"You can just get it, if you're so good, then why don't you go and be the leading actor?"
The man pouted Chen Xiao with his mouth: "Do you think I can him?"
"If you dream, you can do it. ”
"Isn't this enough, if I could come up with such a musical on my own, what kind of actor would I play, I would have already started looking for investors to make a lot of money. ”
"So, people are more popular than people. ”
The students were nervous, not only did they feel it, but even Shen Di felt it.
On stage, some students will have 'spinning around' or meaningless movements out of thin air.
In severe cases, there are also slips and falls.
These are all signs of being too nervous.
So she specially explained to Chen Xiao and asked him to help everyone relieve their emotions.
"I don't study psychology, why should I be looking for a counselor at school?"
"Don't you know it's a holiday?"
"Oh, yes, but why are you looking for me?"
"Sometimes it doesn't have to be a professional for counseling, and sometimes it's more useful to find the right person than a professional person. ”
Chen Xiao pointed at himself: "Is that me?"
Shen Di nodded: "That's right, don't you think that no one has been asking you to tell you stories recently?
Chen Xiao thoughtfully: "I know." ”
"It's only been a few days, and I just think your story is almost over, and I can't leave you with regrets, so I just finished telling it in the past few days. ”
Shen Di clapped his hands: "Okay, stop for a moment, now take a half-hour break, let Chen Xiao come on stage to tell us a story, everyone is welcome." ”
Chen Xiaohu looked at Teacher Shen suspiciously, why do you think you want to hear it?
