Chapter 172: Guangfu Building
Qianmen Street. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's already five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky is getting dark, the street lights are on, but the pedestrians and tourists on the street are not less or even more, and the festive red lanterns are all over the streets, and the aftertaste of the New Year is still there.
Coming out of the teahouse, Qin Feng explained the purpose of the trip in three or two sentences, and told Director Zhang that they were here to find a performance venue for the cross talk club.
As soon as Director Zhang and the others heard this, they immediately understood the reason why Qin Feng had found him.
The co-author plans to set up a cross talk club on Qianmen Street and open the door to do business!
As for Qin Feng's idea, of course, they raised their hands in favor and warmly welcomed it.
The hot scene in front of the teahouse just now is still vivid, if Qin Feng opens the door on Qianmen Street to say cross talk, it will definitely gather a lot of popularity and bring a lot of customers, this is a good thing to send to the door!
Qin Feng then said the specific requirements for the performance venue, and hoped that Director Zhang and them would help to see if there was a suitable venue or theater on the street.
Director Zhang, as the street manager, everything on Qianmen Street is naturally clear.
After listening to Qin Feng's request, Director Zhang began to answer almost without thinking.
"Qin Feng, according to these requirements, there are two places recommended to you, the conditions are very good, one is big, one is small, even if it is small, it can meet all your requirements"
Qin Feng excitedly continued:
"Then you can tell me carefully, it's best to take us to the scene to see, I'm a little impatient"
Director Zhang smiled and nodded:
"Yes, it's better to see than to hear, let's go and see it on the spot."
"Okay! Listen to you, let's go!"
After speaking, Qin Feng and the others walked south along Qianmen Street with Director Zhang and Secretary Tong.
On the way, Director Zhang gave a general introduction to two places.
"The two places I mentioned are Guangfu Building and Guanghe Building, Guangfu Building is a theater garden built in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, which used to be one of the four major theater buildings in the capital, and it is also the location of the Fu* Jian Guild Hall.
The area is smaller, but it also meets your requirements, two floors up and down, there is no problem with the guests sitting 300 people, if you squeeze 500 people can also fit it, the performance facilities are complete, the stage is a traditional stage, enough for you to perform.
Guangfu Building is now the performance venue of the Beijing Opera School, their contract expires at the end of April, due to the dismal operation, so they do not plan to renew the lease, if you are interested, when they withdraw, you can enter"
Listening to Director Zhang's introduction, Qin Feng nodded excitedly, this is the ideal venue he wants.
"It sounds very good, the size is appropriate, the equipment also saves us a lot of trouble, the time is no problem, there is no hurry at this time and a half, you can introduce Guanghe Building again"
Director Zhang continued to introduce.
"Guanghe Building is the largest theater building in the capital, also built in the Ming Dynasty, earlier than Guangfu Building, also called Guanghe Theater, can normally accommodate 500 people, 800 people are no problem if you add a stopper.
Guanghe Theater has no performances arranged now, it is empty, and occasionally it will be rented out for a short time, if you choose Guanghe Building, then you can sign a contract at any time, and you can settle in the performance at any time.
Guanghe Building also has complete performance facilities, which can be rented together, and the stage is also a stage, so there is no problem with the performance, and it can be opened for business with a little interior decoration.
One thing to emphasize is that these two theaters are protected buildings, and it is impossible to demolish and rebuild them, and it is not necessary, they were only renovated when Qianmen Street was planned the year before last."
Listening to the introduction, the more Qin Feng listened, the more excited he became.
"Director Zhang, it's amazing, I just want such a venue, it's even better to have cultural heritage, it seems that today is my lucky day, I can meet you two, otherwise we will be all over the world!"
"Hahaha, no matter which theater you rent, it can be regarded as a favor for us, because these two theaters are large in area and are protected buildings, we are not good at renting, and we are worried!"
"Gotcha, let's get the best of both worlds!"
……
While talking, everyone walked to the door of Guangfu Building.
Looking up, an antique building stands in front of everyone.
The plaque with three gilded characters written 'Guangfu Building' hangs high above the main entrance, which is very imposing.
The building is made of blue bricks and gold tiles, carved beams and faces, and hanging flower curtains, and at the first glance, Qin Feng immediately liked it.
Liu Yan, Lin Yang, and Gangzi were also attracted by this luxurious classical building.
Thinking that he might face hundreds of people here every day in the future, Lin Yang even trembled a little when he was excited.
"Let's go inside, it's even more exciting"
Director Zhang pushed them away with a smile and beckoned them to come in and have a look.
There is no performance in the drama school today, so there is no one in the building, it is empty, only two janitors are inside.
It was quiet and just had a good view of the whole building.
Walking into the theater, Qin Feng saw the gilt plaque of 'Fu*Jian Guild Hall' hanging above the stage at first glance, and then he began to look around, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, and the more he looked at it, the more smiles on his face.
He has loved the building in front of him to the extreme.
It's no surprise that it's it!
……
An hour later.
Qin Feng and the others, under the leadership of Director Zhang and Secretary Tong, walked out of Guanghe Building.
At this time, Qin Feng had already determined the performance venue of Fengyun Club in his heart, that is, Guangfu Building!
Although Guanghe Building is larger and the condition is not bad, the architectural style is a bit out of his appetite, so he gave it up.
But it's not to give up completely, but to treat it as an alternative, just in case.
Next, wait for the end of April when the drama school contract ends, and you can take over Guangfu Lou and officially start a war with the mainstream cross talk industry!
At that time, you only need to do some interior decoration, and when the summer vacation arrives and everything is ready, Fengyun Society will be born.
After the venue was basically determined, Qin Feng asked Director Zhang to take the time to talk to the person in charge of the drama school to determine the day when the other party would evacuate, and then he could sign a contract with the street management committee.
Director Zhang happily agreed, he couldn't wait for Qin Feng to settle in Qianmen Street as soon as possible.
Qin Feng's cross talk is so popular now, it is like a performance in a drama school, it is a real high and low song!
Except for some old theater fans, few people come in to listen to the drama every day, and they spend a day with them! Sometimes they may not even be able to earn back the water and electricity fees.
After chatting a few more words and leaving each other's contact information, Qin Feng and the others said goodbye and left.
When leaving, Qin Feng did not forget to tell Director Zhang to keep the matter of opening a cross talk club secret for the time being.
Then, the four of them drove straight back to school.
Today's formation can be described as extremely smooth, not only the performance venue is basically determined, but even Zhang Dewen and Liu Xiangyuan, the two old gentlemen, have also set up the line, which is really smooth!
After establishing contact with Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu, then in the Beijing teahouse cross talk circle, with the introduction of two old gentlemen, he will be unimpeded.
Selecting actors and talents for Fengyun Club naturally becomes more convenient and faster, and there is much less resistance.
Next, it's time to visit the Tianjin cross talk world, which is the hometown of famous artists!
In the car, Qin Feng told Lin Yang to hurry up and contact people in the cross talk industry in Tianjin.
On the first weekend after the start of school, the two of them went to recruit for Fengyun Society.
It was a perfect day and everyone was in a very good mood.
In the midst of laughter and laughter, in the bright night of the capital, the car drove quickly towards the school.
