Chapter 16: Follow-up Performances
On Monday morning, just after nine o'clock and fifteen o'clock, Shen You, who was lying in bed and sleeping grogily, was suddenly woken up by a ringing telephone.
I connected to my mobile phone in a daze, and Uncle Chen's voice came from it: "Xiaolou, at twelve o'clock at noon today, Zhao Jixiang, the owner of Jixiang Theater, and Lu Zhonghe, the owner of Zhongheyuan Theater, are going to be the east of Cuihua Building in Nancheng, saying that they want to celebrate all the actors who participated in "June Snow" yesterday, I have already informed Boss Yu of them, wait a while, you can just come over directly." ”
"Okay, Uncle Chen, I'll be there in a moment. ”
Ying Cheng said, calculated the time in his heart, and Shen You slept for more than half an hour before he was able to recuperate.
got up to wash up, changed clothes, and Shen You went out of the house. After waiting at the gate of the community for a while, he saw a taxi coming, so he took a taxi directly towards Nancheng.
Alas, I've been going out too often lately, and I'm always taking a taxi, and it's not very convenient to go back and forth, so when the crew of "The Last Emperor" calls the salary, let's go buy a car first.
At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Shen You came to the door of the Cuihua Building in Nancheng.
At this time, Chen Erkui, Zhao Jixiang, Lu Zhonghe, Wang Jinyu and other actors had already arrived, and they all gathered in the upstairs private room booked by Cuihua Building to talk.
After receiving a call from Shen You, Chen Erkui immediately confessed to everyone around him and walked out of the private room quickly.
Seeing Shen You at the door of Cuihua Building, Chen Erkui stepped forward to welcome Shen You in.
Walking into the lobby, he suddenly took Shen You to an empty room next to the corridor.
Closing the door, Chen Erkui took out a stack of red envelopes from his arms and smiled at Shen You: "Today it is said that it is the celebration banquet of "June Snow", but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is here to share the money.
Yesterday, the total revenue from the sale of tickets for the three performances of Jixiang Cinema and Zhongheyuan Theater was 1.08 million Chinese yuan, and after deducting taxes, publicity and operating costs, there was still a net income of 950,000 Chinese yuan.
Originally, according to the practice of Liyuan, the theater and the performance party were divided into three or seven, but this time, in order to win the opportunity to perform, I agreed with Jixiang Theater and Zhongheyuan Theater that the account would be divided between fifty and fifty. There was an appointment in advance, so I didn't take more, and only took 420,000 Chinese dollars.
These are the actors' roles (double pay), Boss Yu's, Boss Sun's, Shengkui's, Lin Rubai's and other dragon actors and Mr. Scene's, and I wrote my name on each red envelope.
After sending these scenes, there is still 200,000 Chinese dollars left, and I have already called your bank account. ”
It turned out that Uncle Chen called me in for this.
Taking the stack of envelopes with everyone's names written on them, Shen You glanced at his mobile phone again, and sure enough, there was an account on it that received a message of 200,000 yuan.
Shen You smiled, took the mobile phone to operate, and directly transferred the money to Uncle Chen's account.
"Uncle Chen, you gave Boss Yu a role for them, why did you forget your share?"
Seeing that Uncle Chen wanted to refuse, Shen You hurriedly said: "Isn't this 200,000 yuan for your role, and the 100,000 yuan I borrowed from you last week, I will pay you back, you can't help but accept it, right?"
"That's not so much!"
Chen Erkui shook his head: "In these three scenes, Boss Yu only took 40,000 yuan for the scene, I can't get more than Boss Yu, right? ”
To put it mildly, Chen Erkui was only willing to accept 40,000 Chinese yuan for the scene, and he returned the other 60,000 Chinese yuan to Shen You.
The 100,000 Chinese dollars I gave you back is not my role?
Shen You was helpless in his heart, but he was not easy to persuade again.
However, after tossing for so many days, I finally earned a lot of income.
It's 60,000 yuan, and the rent is enough.
After planning the scene, Shen You left the corridor room and followed Chen Erkui to the upstairs private room.
There are a total of three tables in the upstairs private room, Zhao Jixiang, Lu Zhonghe, Wang Jinyu, Sun Xiaotang, Wang Dengyun and Bai Youchen are sitting at the middle main table, Wu Shengkui, Lin Rubai and a group of actors are sitting at one table, and several other gentlemen are sitting at the other table.
"I'm sorry for the wait. ”
Shen You hugged his fists first when he entered the door and apologized to everyone.
"Hehe, Boss Shen is here, please take a seat. ”
Seeing Shen You follow Chen Erkui in, Zhao Jixiang and Lu Zhonghe's eyes lit up, and they immediately got up and stepped forward, wanting to invite Shen Yuelou to sit on the main seat.
"Don't dare, don't dare, two bosses, please take a seat, I'll just sit here. Shen You refused again and again, and sat next to Wang Jinyu by himself.
Wang Jinyu smiled at Shen You and handed him a pair of chopsticks, and Shen You hurriedly thanked him.
Seeing Shen You sitting next to Boss Yu by himself, Zhao Jixiang and Lu Zhonghe looked at each other and smiled, looking helpless, so they had to invite Chen Erkui to the main seat.
When everyone arrived, the dishes began to be served one by one. When the dishes were ready, Zhao Jixiang and Lu Zhonghe invited everyone to raise a glass to celebrate the success of "June Snow" in two theaters.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere on the table was strong, Shen You started to talk, and suddenly talked about his original intention of forming the Spring and Autumn Opera Society, and then, he talked about his ideals and feelings, and talked about the current situation of Liyuan and the mission and future vision of the Spring and Autumn Opera Society.
set up commercial performances, run opera schools, cultivate talents, and later open branches all over China, and even to foreign countries......
When Shen You was talking, Chen Erkui helped to add a few words from time to time, and brought back Shen You's words that were too careless, like a compliment.
In fact, Shen You will say this, naturally he has his intentions. And Chen Erkui obviously understood his intentions.
What he said just now was for Boss Yu, Sun Xiaotang, Wu Shengkui, Lin Rubai and others, and the purpose was naturally to recruit them for the Spring and Autumn Opera Club.
Speaking of the rise, Shen You took out a stack of envelopes and directly sent everyone's scenes on the spot.
No matter how much I said earlier, no matter how good the future development of the Spring and Autumn Opera Club is, it is still not as convincing as the scenes.
"So much, thank you Boss Shen. ”
"Boss Shen is generous. ”
"Boss Shen is righteous. ”
……
The actors who got the role immediately burst into laughter.
When the scene was sent to them, Shen You showed them the intention of soliciting them, either explicitly or implicitly.
Boss Yu was noncommittal, neither agreeing nor refusing.
That's a good thing, at least she didn't say no.
Shen You didn't expect to be able to recruit Boss Yu directly into the Spring and Autumn Opera Club, and he could try again the next time he cooperated.
Sun Xiaotang directly rejected Shen You.
She said with a smile: "I'm old and can't stand the toss, the second regiment is very good, and I am ready to retire in the second regiment." ”
Lin Rubai was entangled in his heart, and after thinking about it, he decided to stay in the third group.
Only Wu Shengkui was enthusiastically boiled by Shen You's words, and with Chen Erkui's acquiescence, he joined the Spring and Autumn Opera Club without hesitation.
joined the Spring and Autumn Opera Club with Wu Shengkui, as well as two other actors.
This is all that Shen You has gained after some high-minded talk.
After all, I still don't have the strength.
Shen You sighed in his heart.
Boss Shen talked about it before, but Zhao Jixiang couldn't interject, and only after Shen You made a scene and interacted with everyone did he have the opportunity to talk to Shen You.
Zhao Jixiang looked at Shen You and said with a smile: "Boss Shen, now that the premiere of "June Snow" has been a great success, countless fans are looking forward to it, why don't we take advantage of the situation to perform a few more shows?"
Lu Zhonghe immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, in the past, the new opera troupe's cannon drama in Liyuan had to be staged for at least three days, and your Spring and Autumn Opera Club can't stop working after only one day." ”
Listening to Zhao Jixiang and Lu Zhonghe's words, all the actors also looked at Shen You. If Boss Shen agrees to the encore, he will definitely use them again, so that he will have a role to play.
Seeing that Shen You was silent, Zhao Jixiang's heart moved, thinking that Boss Shen might have a problem with the previous account sharing, and couldn't help but smile: "Boss Shen, don't worry, I have already discussed with Boss Lu yesterday, and the next time your club performs in Jixiang and Zhonghe, we will divide the account." ”
Shen You was still silent.
Lu Zhonghe next to him glanced at Zhao Jixiang, and after getting an affirmative look, he asked Shen You suspiciously, "Or, twenty-eight accounts?"
"The two bosses misunderstood, and Shen should not, not because of the problem of account sharing. ”
Shen You shook his head and sighed: "It's just that I have too many things to do recently, and I really lack skills, and the follow-up performance of "June Snow" in Liyuan can only be postponed." ”
I had already promised to go to the singer's kick hall yesterday, and the course arranged by the crew of "The Last Emperor" was about to start, as well as a meeting with Dr. Li, the editing of "Two Flowers: Tsing Yi", and an interview with the agent that I had made an appointment with the headhunting company.
There's so much to deal with.
Hearing Shen You say this, the two had no choice but to give up.
However, Shen You also made a promise that if the Spring and Autumn Opera Society opens next time, the first choice for the performance theater is still Jixiang Theater and Zhonghe Garden.
didn't get the result they wanted, Lu Zhonghe and Zhao Jixiang were not in high spirits, and the banquet dispersed quickly.
