Chapter 982: On sale
With the help of knowledgeable people, Qiao Yu's overseas business performance preparations went smoothly, and the diplomat introduced by Xu Sihai also helped introduce a lawyer, also told Qiao Yu how to operate, and helped run a few approvals.
The various approval procedures were quickly completed, and Qiao Yu and the others also obtained the qualification to perform publicly, and the next step was to rent a venue and do publicity.
Wu Tianbao knows this very well, Comrade Wu is now living overseas, but he didn't put down cross talk, he opened a teahouse in San Francisco's Chinatown, and he often talks about cross talk in the teahouse now.
Comrade Lao Wu really brought cross talk overseas, and he opened and did business overseas, which is a capable person.
Therefore, Comrade Lao Wu really understands the overseas market, and he helped Qiao Yu to contact the commercial performance theater and rented a venue with more than 2,000 people in a good location.
The time, location, decoration and price are all very suitable, Qiao Yu was moved, he really relied on his parents at home and his friends when he went out, if he didn't have Wu Tianbao's help, he would still be blind.
In terms of publicity, Wu Tianbao launched several hometown associations in San Francisco, and everyone did propaganda to each other, Wu Tianbao is an old man in San Francisco, and he knows a lot of people, and he really made a lot of efforts to help this time.
Other billboards, TV, newspapers, Internet and other promotions have to be done by Qiao Yu himself.
This has already saved Qiao Yu a lot of effort, and they are already familiar with the next publicity, Wu Tianbao introduced the two of them to them, and they went to work on their own.
This is Qiao Yu's first time doing a commercial performance overseas, and the cost of performing overseas is high.
This money was scattered, which made the performance team who followed Qiao Yu tremble.
After all the preparations were done in San Francisco, Qiao Yu went to Los Angeles, and then Boston.
Let's talk about three cities for the time being, these three cities are enough for the show. It's been more than a month since the performances are over, and they have enough time to arrange the next performances.
In addition, they also want to look at the effect of selling tickets in these three cities. If it works well, then they need to expand the show, and if it is miserable, they need to adjust it.
The commercial performances in the three cities have been set, and Qiao Yusa's money has gone to sea. As the vice president of their company said, if the loss is very miserable this time, then their company will not be able to go public next year.
It will take them two or three years to recover, and Qiao Yu can be regarded as really righteous, he gambled on the company's future in order to Xiang Wenshe.
All the preparations have been completed, and the next thing is to wait for the end of the promotion, the box office tickets, this time the tickets are on sale 20 days in advance, and they can be bought online, by phone, and on site.
The performance in San Francisco is scheduled for October 1, National Day, of course, this is the National Day of Chinese, and foreigners have not celebrated this holiday.
After all the preparations were done, Qiao Yu and his party returned to Beijing, their work was done, and the next thing was to see the ticket sales.
Qiao Yu was tired from going abroad this time, and after returning to China, he rested at home for several days.
Beijing is already cool in September, and the heat and dryness in the air have disappeared, but the boredom in some people's hearts has not decreased.
Qiao Yu is like this, don't he look very calm, but he is really anxious. He was ready to lose money, but when he was really going to sell tickets, he suddenly had no bottom in his heart.
I hope I don't lose too much.
Qiao Yu prayed silently.
In contrast, He Xiangdong's mentality is very good, he should eat and drink, he doesn't care at all. Also, Qiao Yu has to bear the risks, and he won't lose anyway.
It's just that if this commercial performance is not successful, then he will lose face.
Now He Xiangdong is taking Gao Ganglong to do a variety show on Jiangsu Satellite TV, this is a new show, He Xiangdong is the main coffee, and Gao Ganglong is the deputy coffee for him.
Half of the recording has been recorded, and now is the time to rest, the host and guests are taking a little rest, and then the production team is also touching up the makeup of the actors, so that it is convenient for the next performance.
Just when he was resting and touching up his makeup, Gao Ganglong cautiously asked He Xiangdong: "Master, how did I behave just now?"
He Xiangdong replied: "It's good, don't worry, be confident, just hold steady." ”
Gao Ganglong was touching up his makeup, and he was not very mobile, so he hummed softly, and then said, "Master, I started selling tickets in San Francisco tonight, and I was so nervous." ”
Hearing this, He Xiangdong smiled: "What are you nervous about, no matter what you make or lose, you can get money, you won't lose anyway, what are you so nervous?"
Gao Ganglong suddenly said: "Eh, that's what I said." ”
"Stinky boy. He Xiangdong scolded with a smile.
Gao Ganglong smiled, and then said, "Master, I'm not nervous, you said that our tickets are so expensive, if we can't sell them, won't we lose money." ”
He Xiangdong said: "The price is also good, 288 in the back row, 488 in the front row, and 688 in the front." ”
Gao Ganglong complained: "Master, that's dollars. ”
He Xiangdong quipped: "You should listen to it as RMB." ”
Gao Ganglong's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "This is really a good way." ”
"you. He Xiangdong scolded with a smile.
During the conversation between the two, the make-up was over.
He Xiangdong's brows also had a deep color, and he said: "It's not once or twice that traditional arts have been performed overseas, but if you really make money, I'm afraid you haven't done it once." When Mr. Mei Lanfang went to the United States to perform in the 30s, people caused a big sensation, and when they were in an economic crisis, they also fried tickets to the sky. But when people came back after the performance, they still lost tens of thousands of silver dollars, so the work of commercial performance is not easy to do. If you can gain fame and fortune, it will be even more difficult. ”
Gao Ganglong nodded thoughtfully, now all of China's cross talk, and they are the only ones who can successfully do commercial performances.
Or to be more accurate, that is, He Xiangdong is just a person, because the audience is coming for He Xiangdong.
Without He Xiangdong and Xue Guo, they were unwilling to spend so much money.
He Xiangdong said to Gao Ganglong: "Okay, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, then you can do everything as you want, you can do whatever you like, let's record the show first." ”
"Oh, okay. Gao Ganglong hurriedly got up and followed.
……
It was already nine o'clock in the evening, but Qiao Yu and Qiao's wife didn't feel sleepy at all. It's night in China, but it's morning in the United States.
Today is the time for tickets to go on sale for the San Francisco commercial performance, and they are staring nervously.
