Chapter 115: Public Opinion from the Media!
If the media attention brings both pressure and motivation to the members of the troupe
Then the next thing happened that had a great impact on the entire troupe!
That is, the repertoire decided by the troupe was exposed in advance!
You must know that the Imperial Imperial Theatre Troupe is different from ordinary theatre troupes, which generally perform abroad at the invitation of other countries, and most of the time they perform to receive the leaders or heads of state of other countries who visit the Empire, such as this royal exchange gathering between the two countries.
Generally speaking, although this kind of performance is not top secret, it will not be publicized to the outside world, let alone inform the media in advance!
On the one hand, it is to not put pressure on the troupe, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent media hype.
But what does it mean that the repertoire decided by the troupe was exposed to the media half a month in advance?
This means that there is a mole in the troupe!
Fortunately, only the name of the play was leaked, but the content of the play "Hamlet" did not appear in the report.
Taking a step back, no one dares to impersonate even if it is leaked.
But in any case, the impact on the troupe is obvious, and the members of the troupe, who were already under huge pressure, are now overwhelmed.
And as soon as this matter was exposed, it was hyped up in the media!
You know, the repertoire of the Royal Theatre Company and the list of performers are extremely mysterious even in the eyes of the uncrowned king.
Although there are only a few people in the troupe, the repertoire is never leaked to the media.
Even so, if you just know the repertoire of the troupe, there is nothing to hype up in the media.
But this time it's different!
The repertoire that the royal troupe hastily decided to perform this time was actually only a seventeen-year-old high school student!
That's right, in the eyes of the media, it's sloppy!
Because according to the news from the whistleblower, this high school student has only created one play, which is the play "Hamlet" for this performance!
As soon as this news came out, it suddenly stirred up a thousand waves!
The media have questioned the correctness of the "hasty" decision of the royal theater troupe, believing that it is child's play to hand over such an important matter to an unknown seventeen-year-old high school student, and that the royal theater troupe should choose some classic plays or works of some theater masters as the repertoire of this royal exchange gathering, such as Xie Quan, the current head of the troupe.
While more people questioned the company's decision, they also wondered who the seventeen-year-old high school student was, and what was so special about Hamlet to be chosen for this performance?
Or is Ye Chen the illegitimate son of a high-ranking member of the troupe?
Even some media openly ridiculed the royal theater troupe for being so corrupt and degenerate that they casually found a script written by a high school student and used it indiscriminately, for fear that they would be slapped in the face again at the royal exchange party and find a high school student to take the blame.
For a while, all kinds of conspiracy theories were rampant!
Next, the turmoil intensified, and many so-called "experts" and "professors" also jumped out to analyze this incident, with the same meaning, that is, they didn't think that Ye Chen, a seventeen-year-old high school student, could write any excellent scripts.
In just three days, Ye Chen's information was exposed to the media, but this time the sensation was even bigger and the scope was wider!
Including Ye Chen's school, the published new book "The Da Vinci Code" has become a bestseller, the champion of the National Youth Literature Creation Competition, and even Ye Chen's speech at Qingshui High School has been exposed by the media.
The matter of Ye Chen appeared in the newspapers and periodicals, and even the largest newspaper in the imperial capital, "Huaxia Daily", slightly mentioned Ye Chen's matter.
But this is also beneficial, at least after seeing Ye Chen's fierce record, no media dares to say that Ye Chen is a mediocre talent!
Subsequently, "Broken Chapter" and "A Bowl of Clear Soup Soba Noodles" were also revealed to be Ye Chen's works created in the finals of the National Youth Literature Competition.
As soon as these reports came out, the media were suddenly surprised to find that this seventeen-year-old high school student was not only not a mediocre talent, but also a genius!
And such a dazzling answer sheet also made the media temporarily shut up!
Even because of the media's unremitting reporting these days, people who didn't know Ye Chen knew Ye Chen because of these works and became Ye Chen's fans, which was also an unexpected gain.
But soon, things once again pushed Ye Chen to the forefront.
"Drama is elegant, artistic, sacred, and it is not something that can be written by a random high school student with a few strokes of graffiti, which is a kind of blasphemy!"
As soon as this sentence came out, it instantly detonated public opinion!
If the readers of the media report still don't want to believe it, after all, the media is not professional, and they don't know much about drama, and what they say is all speculation! Judging from Ye Chen's achievements at this age, Ye Chen is undoubtedly a genius, and maybe this genius also knows how to create dramas!
Well, this time the person who stood up and spoke was different!
Because it was none other than Zhang Kuang, one of the three great drama masters of the empire!
As one of the three great drama masters of the empire, no one dared to question Zhang Kuang's professionalism in the field of drama.
Imagine that even Zhang Kuang doesn't think that a seventeen-year-old high school student can write an excellent drama script, then it is worth pondering.
And Zhang Kuang, as one of the three major drama masters of the empire, has no longer a small number of fans, and now Zhang Kuang's voice in the media has also aroused the echo of Zhang Kuang's fans, and many Zhang Kuang's fans have left messages on the Internet to ridicule and even abuse Ye Chen!
Ye Chen also saw these reports, and it was false to say that he was not angry, but Ye Chen knew very well that the emperor was not as good as Qingyang City, and when the media in Qingyang City questioned and smeared him, he could stand up and speak out, that was because he had already proven his ability in Qingyang City.
But the imperial capital is different, in the imperial capital, Ye Chen is just a little-known person, and if it weren't for this sudden turmoil, many people wouldn't know that there was such a person as themselves.
In this case, even if Ye Chen made some remarks in the media, it was useless, so Ye Chen pretended not to care, but when he usually rehearsed and talked to the actors of the troupe, he worked harder!
And Xie Quan also talked to Ye Chen, comforted Ye Chen not to care, and proved himself with facts when the time came, and promised Ye Chen that he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly after the performance, so that Ye Chen could temporarily guard his grievances.
Fortunately, as the royal exchange between the two countries approached, the media gradually reduced the relevant coverage and turned to focus on the British Imperial Family, which was about to arrive in the empire.
The time has also come to May, and the hot summer has begun to show a hint, and the air is gradually scorching, but these cannot hide the enthusiasm of the people of the imperial capital.
Because, today is the first day of an official visit by the British Imperial Family.
The enthusiasm of the people of the imperial capital was certainly not to welcome the British Imperial Family, but to the money in their hands!
With such a large number of members of the imperial family and their entourage, although the imperial family was responsible for all their food and drink, the royal family had to purchase these things from outside, so the daily consumption in the imperial capital was an extremely considerable amount.
However, what interests the people of the imperial capital the most is the betting market offered by the bookmaker.
Gambling has always been people's most popular pastime, no matter what time it is.
As is customary, on the first day of the British Empire's royal visit, both countries will arrange some performances to "welcome", and this is also the bookmaker's favorite part!
For bookmakers, there's nothing to bet on!
For example, which country is better in this year's performances by the two royal troupes!
Especially before the opening of the imperial capital, the media brought a wave of good rhythm, which made the bosses of the bookmaker ready to make a big deal! )
