Chapter 247: Calling Brother and Brother

The news that the tickets for three consecutive dramas of the Senyi Theater were sold out in a few seconds shook the entire drama industry in an instant, setting the best-selling record at the box office of dramas in the past 10 years.

Since 2010, no drama has been sold out in a few seconds on the ticketing platform. Considering that "X" is a brand-new drama and has not met the audience, its results are even more incredible.

Teacher Huang, who was preparing to perform "Thunderstorm" in Shanghai, slapped his face excitedly when he saw the news, and shouted: "Lao Meng, Li Li, their drama ticket sales are seconds!"

Meng Jinghui, one of the four famous drama directors in China, was stunned for a moment, "What?"

"More than 2,000 tickets for three consecutive shows, all sold out in 3 seconds!

Meng Jinghui was surprised: "3 seconds......? In recent years, this is the best seller. He looked back at the full audience sitting under the stage, and their tickets were also empty, but that was because of the star-studded gathering, and with the full participation of Mr. Huang, Mr. He and many other actors who are highly familiar with the audience, the box office was guaranteed, but they were single-handed......

Meng Jinghui sighed again, "In the end, the drama still depends on the quality, a drama with excellent quality can be performed in a venue, and the first three performances can only be said to rely on Li Li's popularity, but if the reputation after these three shows collapses, then no matter how popular Li Li is, he will not be able to save the box office." ”

"With my understanding of Li Li, there is very little hope that your hypothesis will be true!" Teacher Huang smiled and exclaimed, "I didn't expect to see Li Li for a few days, Li Li has become the president of the drama club, it's really a three-day farewell!haha!"

……

When the news of the box office sell-out reached Giessen Satellite TV, the director was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back and sighed, "I have to say, this is a typical fan economy!"

The editor-in-chief smiled: "This is not only a fan economy, but also a strong sense of trust, although everyone has not seen this drama, although the drama is very niche, but the audience has subconsciously thought that this is a wonderful work." Because they have taken Li Li's excellence as inevitable. So whether it's a fan of Li Li or not, many people are interested in taking a look and edifying it.

If this is a drama made by some other popular student, maybe even his die-hard fans will have to hesitate if it's a bad drama!"

The director sighed, sad in his heart, but it was a pity that they lost Li Li.

The Li Li they lost had already flown to Shonan Satellite TV to participate in the bidding meeting of "First Year College Season" at this time.

"First Grade: College Season" will start recording on September 4th, and Shonan Satellite TV is now in full swing to prepare. And the program bidding will be the first priority.

Li Li sat in the front row of the conference hall, sitting with Gao Yuanyuan, Hu Ge and others, bidding for advertising space on the stage, and the audience were representatives of various enterprises.

Li Li, dressed in a fancy suit, became the darling of photographers, and he sat quietly with a smile on his cheeks, occasionally looking back, and he was always shocked by the sky-high advertising costs.

Shonan Satellite TV deserves to be the ace satellite TV, and the exclusive naming rights of "First Grade" were auctioned at a price of 420 million yuan, which was won by Leyouyou milk powder. This exclusive naming fee alone is more than all the advertising costs of "Movie Guide" combined!

Moreover, this is not the highest naming fee of Shonan Satellite TV at all, "Where Are You Going, Dad" has set a market record of 500 million naming fees!

How do you look at this number, it's like a joke, but other platforms have this strength, and advertisers are also desperately giving!

The difference in strength between Jisen Satellite TV and Shonan Satellite TV can be seen.

The bidding will end at 10 o'clock in the evening, and in just two hours, "First Grade: College Season" attracted 1.2 billion yuan, second only to "Where Are You Going, Dad" and "Singer", becoming the third most profitable variety show in Taiwan.

However, the difference from the first two is that "First Grade: College Season" is a brand-new program that has just set sail, and the other two programs have been precipitated for many seasons, and their ability to attract money has been rising in recent years!

"Below, with warm applause, we invite Li Li, the star mentor of the show, to come to the stage!"

In a thick applause, Li Li got up and took the stage.

This is Li Li's first time coming to Shonan Satellite TV, and at this time, it seems that every corner of the entire satellite TV is talking about him, after all, this is a legendary figure, but can he be even more legendary? Everyone has inexplicable expectations in their hearts.

Several star mentors took the stage to speak in turn, and then attended the dinner, and after the break, they came to the station early the next morning to discuss the program framework and some details with the column team.

Hong Tao, the producer of Shonan Satellite TV, may have been in contact with too many stars, so when facing Li Li, Hu Ge and other popular stars in China, he maintained a kind of "neither humble nor arrogant" in etiquette.

"Teachers, please come in," Hong Tao introduced Li Li and others into the office and began to introduce, "This is the director Wang Min, and this is the program editor-in-chief Xiao Cong......"

Everyone sat down and discussed the program together, in fact, it was a discussion, it was better to communicate, and the program team conveyed the relevant matters of the program to the invited guests.

The recording location of "First Grade: College Season" was chosen at the Beijing Film Academy, after all, Jingdian is ahead of other art schools in terms of fame.

Some amateur guests are also ready to excavate, and the program team has also adopted the online amateur voting mechanism of "I Am an Actor", of course, this mechanism is the most slippery on Shonan Satellite TV.

After participating in this meeting, Li Li and they have a general understanding of the form of the program, and the program will be recorded in September, and their schedules will be adjusted accordingly.

"Mr. Li, is your drama preparation going well?" asked Hong Tao with concern after the meeting.

"Uh...... Everything is fine, but, frankly, we lack a good drama director. Li Li said truthfully.

"Oh, what then?

Li Li shook his head: "Excellent drama directors are too scarce, we have a small local drama troupe, and we can't do anything!"

This is indeed Li Li's headache, the drama club will continue to grow, and there will be more and more dramas, so if there are no two or three excellent directors in charge, it will not be able to play at all!

What is a director, the director is the soul of the drama!

Li Li is very busy, and he is also lacking in skills. And excellent directors are hard to find.

"When I finish my studies, I'll come back and direct the play for you!" Hu Ge said with a smile.

Hu Ge has indeed been studying directing courses recently, and every excellent actor may have a dream of directing.

Li Li smiled: "I can't wait! However, I wish you early success in your studies, of course, don't delay going to our drama club to act." ”

After Li Li delivered a few tickets to everyone, he hurried back to Spring City, after all, the current time was simply too precious for Li Li.

……

Ten days have passed in a hurry in the blink of an eye!

After more than 20 days of hard rehearsals, the drama "X" has been rehearsed countless times by the actors, and some people's dreams at night are rehearsals.

Everyone doesn't want to miss out on this great opportunity!

On July 31, the day before the official commercial performance, the entire theater was busy.

The entrance of the theater is being arranged, and after the red and glamorous air arch is installed, Li Li went to the theater parking space to take a look, and this parking space seems to be insufficient!

Li Li was notified that there were fifty or sixty important guests who were going to come to see the premiere, and there were few parking spaces in the theater itself, and this generation is a famous business district, not to mention parking, driving is hard and blocked!

A few days ago, Li Li walked around the theater several times to find a parking space, and then walked for about ten minutes to get to the theater.

Huang Xiaomin came in a hurry at this time, "Mr. Li, our premiere commemorative T-shirt has arrived, Guoguo asked if you need your autograph?"

"That's not necessary, eh, I'm going to ask you a question, how do you solve the parking problem? ”

Huang Xiaomin looked at the pitiful 20 parking spaces in front of him, and then raised his hand to a community behind the theater, "Go rent it for a day!"

"Rent, yes, yes...... Where can people park? Give 100 yuan to someone and they can't reverse out of the parking space!"

"Then let's brush our faces!"

"It's not appropriate, right? Give the ticket, find someone to discuss with the car owners tonight, can you exchange the ticket for a night's parking space, and the money can also be." Of course, I don't force it, if there are those who are willing to help, we will thank others, and if we are not willing to help, we must also understand. Don't be unpleasant, after all, we are asking for help. ”

Huang Xiaomin had just gone to make arrangements, and suddenly a couple said with a foreign accent:

"Hello Mr. Li, we flew here from Hangzhou to come to see your performance!"

"I'm very happy to meet Mr. Li, my boyfriend and I are both your fans!"

Li Li hurriedly said: "Thank you!"

The young man said: "The hotel next to your house is all full, all of them are from other places, we booked a room on Meituan a week in advance, but it didn't!

Li Li was dumbfounded, it turned out that the theater opened, and the hotel next to it benefited the most...... Is it embarrassing, you say?

At this time, everyone in the theater was busy, some meticulously wiping the seats, some trying out the sound, and constantly taking pictures and happily posting to the circle of friends, and the busiest thing at this time was the front desk.

The phone in the hands of the two front desk receptionists seems to have never been put down:

"Hello, the Grand Theatre Giessen welcomes your call...... I'm sorry, but I don't have a ticket at the ticket window......"

"Sir, there are really no tickets, we have no plans to add the show for the time being, please pay attention to Senyi or Li Li's Weibo notice, you can also leave your contact information, if there is an additional show next week, we will notify you as soon as possible!"

……

A front desk officer saw Li Li coming over, and hurriedly said: "Boss, I said that my voice was smoking today! It's all calls to consult! They all asked if we have any plans for additional games, and if we have any plans for next week?"

Regarding the additional performances, Li Li has no plans for the time being, he wants to wait for the end of the three performances to take a look at the audience's reputation for the play, and then make the necessary adjustments, if the audience has no opinions, then the performance will continue, and strive to achieve two or three performances a week. If the audience has obvious criticism of the performance, then Li Li will make appropriate changes depending on the situation.

Li Li has never thought that his works are impeccable, some negligence is normal, and he attaches importance to and solicits the public's opinion, which is what any creator must do with an open mind, and what he is doing now is a market drama.

For this reason, Li Li specially customized a commemorative version of the opinion book for the audience, the opinion book is loose-leaf, the audience wrote down the suggestions and mailed them to the drama club, whether they adopted it or not, there will be a reply, and in the reply letter, some greeting cards and other small gifts will be given.

In order to collect the opinions of the audience, Li Li specially set up a customer service department, of course, the customer service department has other work.

Li Li has spent a lot of effort for the development of the drama club, and he has also worked hard to make the audience become the "own family" of the drama club.

Li Li has a very good uncle who graduated from Harvard, and he once said that he can still receive greeting cards and blessings from his alma mater on some holidays, which is one of the reasons why Harvard has become the university with the most donations - this feeling is that whether you are rich or poor, your alma mater is with you.

There are even a few universities in our country that are: Get out of here after graduation! Leave me the mattress, what do you spend money to buy? If you don't stay, you won't get a graduation certificate!

Li Li hopes to leave the audience with the feeling that this night is not just to buy a ticket to watch a drama and go through the motions, but also to leave a special memory for each other, so that the commercial drama is full of human touch!

At 10 p.m., all the preparations for the opening were ready.

In the office, there are different opinions on whether to invite guests for the opening ceremony, and Li Li tends not to invite them, but everyone thinks that the opening ceremony always feels unfestive without guest performances.

Li Li said: "It's okay to invite performers, but what should we invite? Invite singers to sing? Ask models to walk the catwalk? Invite two people to turn to perform? This noisy and noisy thing doesn't match the temperament of the drama club!"

"What about the lion dance?"

"Lion dance is not our custom, and the public is not very interested. ”

Zhang Guoguo was depressed, "It's not allowed to set off fireworks in the city now, if there are no guests to make the atmosphere, it will be too dull to open." ”

Cao Jun also said: "Yes, everyone's openings are lively, we can't be too lonely, it's a bit cold to open when you cut the ribbon, right?"

Li Li had a headache, "No matter what, I have to match the temperament of our drama!"

Zhang Guoguo's eyes lit up: "There you have it! We can record some short videos of celebrities congratulating them, and then play them on a loop on the big screen of our theater." ”

Li Li: "Is this good? It's a bit vulgar, isn't it?"

"What's not good? Besides, the audience must be willing to take a few more looks, and the effect is definitely no less than that of a model catwalk!"

Everyone agreed, and there was no better way, Li Li had to send requests to individual familiar stars, and then sent "help messages" in several celebrity groups.

As a result, before 12 o'clock in the evening, Li Li received more than 20 congratulatory videos, including two people who only had a relationship with Li Li......

Here's what they say in the video:

“…… As Mr. Li's buddy, I sincerely wish Mr. Li a wide range of financial resources......"

“…… I wish my good brother Li Li to climb new heights in the palace of art......"
