Chapter 100: Playing with a Big Ticket?

Not long ago, Ye Chen made a health plan for himself!

Wake up from 6 to 7 a.m. every morning and go to bed from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m., and follow this standard of punctuality.

It's no wonder that Ye Chen is too nervous, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution, and Ye Chen doesn't want to live a short-lived ghost with amazing talent.

Although, this talent is a little moisture!

Anyway, for Ye Chen, in this world, he is not afraid of anything but death!

Ye Chen didn't believe that death was not the end but the beginning and something like that!

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when I received Xie Quan's call.

Ye Chen was still a little puzzled about what Xie Quan had called him so late, and before he had time to think about it, Ye Chen answered the phone.

As soon as he answered, Xie Quan's familiar voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Ye Chen, did you really write "Hamlet"?" Judging from the voice, Xie Quan looked a little excited.

Ye Chen was stunned, although he didn't understand why Xie Quan was so excited, he still replied truthfully: "Yes!"

Hearing Ye Chen's affirmative answer, Xie Quan was even more excited.

"Good, good, good! You've written a great drama!" Xie Quan didn't hesitate to praise himself!

Perhaps he was aware of his gaffe, and when he heard Ye Chen's voice on the other side of the phone for a long time, Xie Quan smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, have you heard of the Imperial Royal Troupe?"

After listening to Xie Quan, Ye Chen's doubts in his heart were even worse, what does his "Hamlet" have to do with the Royal Troupe?

As for the Imperial Royal Troupe, Ye Chen also knows that the Imperial Troupe is the stage with the highest performance level of Imperial drama and drama actors.

For actors engaged in theater and drama in the Empire, it is a lifelong dream to be able to be a Royal Imperial Theatre Company!

Because of this, the assessment standards of the Imperial Royal Troupe are also very high!

It is no exaggeration to say that it is no less difficult for an actor to enter the Imperial Royal Theatre Troupe than for a student to be admitted to Yenching University, or even higher!

But high standards and strict requirements also mean high harvest!

On the contrary, the status and fame of those who have entered the Imperial Royal Troupe in related fields must be much higher!

On top of that, the Imperial Royal Theatre Company can also regularly tour the world, which is the most fatal attraction for an actor!

This is true not only for the actors, but also for the directors, screenwriters, and some of the relevant behind-the-scenes staff!

In addition, being able to enter the Imperial Royal Troupe means getting a stepping stone to high society!

After all, everyone who can get involved with the royal family is either rich or expensive, which is another reason why countless people flock to it!

However, none of this had anything to do with Ye Chen, so Ye Chen just listened quietly.

Fortunately, Xie Quan also knew that Ye Chen might not know much about this aspect, so he explained his intention concisely.

It probably means that Xie Quan fell in love with the script of "Hamlet" and wanted to put this script on the stage, and it was a stage that Ye Chen had never thought of!

Of course, Xie Quan also promised to give Ye Chen the corresponding reward, but it may not be too much.

After listening to Xie Quan, although Ye Chen was surprised that Xie Quan was actually the honorary head of the Imperial Royal Theater Troupe, it was understandable to think of Xie Quan's strength and status in the field of imperial theater.

What Ye Chen never expected was that Xie Quan fell in love with "Hamlet" because he wanted to move "Hamlet" to the Royal Theatre soon as a counterpoint to compete with the Royal Theatre of the British Empire!

What is the Royal Theatre?

If the Imperial Royal Theatre is equivalent to the Northern Shadow of the previous Tu Dynasty, then the Royal Theatre is equivalent to Broadway!

And Ye Chen can only be regarded as a little budding newcomer who has just stepped into the field of drama at best, how can he not surprise Ye Chen?

Ye Chen was greatly moved!

Although Ye Chen's biggest goal is to become a great writer, Ye Chen wouldn't mind if he could add a few more messy titles such as drama master, film master, Chinese culture master, etc.

Those who can work harder!

There is a saying that can withstand a great deal of praise as much as it can be slandered!

Ye Chen thinks he has a big heart, and he has always refused to come to these!

As for the remuneration that Xie Quan said, it may be relatively small?

Jokes, as long as you are not a fool, you will not care about the so-called reward at this time!

Therefore, Ye Chen readily agreed to Xie Quan!

Hearing Ye Chen's promise, Xie Quan was overjoyed!

To be honest, Xie Quan also hesitated, after all, Ye Chen was just a complete newcomer, whether in terms of qualifications or achievements, he was really not enough to see in the Imperial Royal Troupe!

It can be said that casually taking one out of the Imperial Royal Troupe is a big name in the theater industry, and the worst one is also a wrist, and with the current Ye Chen, he will definitely not be able to control the scene.

Even if Xie Quan thought about it with his ass, he understood that he really planned to put Ye Chen's work on the stage of the Royal Grand Theater, and the excellent screenwriters with old qualifications in the troupe would definitely be the first to refuse!

Maybe they will give Xie Quan some face, but this is what Xie Quan has worked hard with his works and strength for so many years!

And who is Ye Chen?

Sorry, haven't heard of it.

Why should your first play written by a hairy teenager be moved to the stage of the Royal Theatre on such an important occasion?

Isn't this the equivalent of telling others how incompetent these screenwriters in our troupe are?

In short, Xie Quan felt that he had a headache in the next few days!

To be exact, I'm starting to have a headache!

That being said, Xie Quan really likes the work "Hamlet"!

The characters are vivid and vivid, with the characteristics of multifaceted and complex, and at the same time, the characters change with the development of cleanliness and contradictory plans, and have personalized characteristics, Xie Quan has not seen such an excellent drama script for many years!

Although Xie Quan feels that there are many advantages in this drama that he has not discovered, judging from the main plot of the play, the main characters in the play are representatives of a certain class and the ideas of the times, such as Claudius symbolizing the "new faith and new morality" centered on satisfying personal desires in the late Renaissance The Norwegian prince Fortinbras represents a desperate adventurous and plundering spirit, he is an adventurer who has lost his reason, and Hamlet is the archetype of a humanist, all of which at once elevate the whole play!

At the same time, this also makes "Hamlet" have the most important condition for becoming a classic drama, that is, the connotation of drama!

Xie Quan felt that if he really let such an excellent drama work slip away from his eyes, it would be a tyrannical thing!

Such a good work should be put on the stage, not in the dust of some insignificant theater company!

After thinking about it for a while, Xie Quan decided to choose "Hamlet" as the opposite play of the British Imperial Royal Theatre Company!

What's more, Hamlet is a Western drama through and through!

If you really win the Royal Theatre Company of the British Empire with "Hamlet", it won't feel too cool!

It doesn't matter if the British Empire is the birthplace of Western theatre, we are better than you!

However, now is not the time to think about this, there is not much time left until the royal gatherings of the two countries, although the repertoire of the show has been decided, and there is still a lot of preparation to be done for the performance of the play!

For example, the actors must be familiar with the lines, the director must also be familiar with the script to tell the actors, and costumes and props must also be prepared.

The most important thing is Ye Chen!

Although the drama "Hamlet" is wonderful, there are still many things that Xie Quan can't understand, even Xie Quan, not to mention others!

And who knows "Hamlet" best? Undoubtedly, the creator of the script itself, that is, Ye Chen!

Thinking of this, Xie Quan smiled and said, "Little guy, are you interested in coming to the imperial capital again?" )
