"Taking last year as an example, there were more than 20 new plays launched in the first half of the year, but only half of them were staged for a month, and even one drama was only staged for three days, and it took more than two years of painstaking effort to prepare, and in the end, it was only staged for three days before the curtain was closed, which is really cruel. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info," Clara said with emotion.

Then the conversation changed and continued: "But there are also jackpots, such as "My Fair Lady" for example, which repaid $350,000 in just ten weeks after it was staged, and then it was purely making money. Another example is "Cat", which spent 5 million production fees at the beginning, and it took ten months to recover the capital, but it is still being staged today, which means that investors have been receiving dividends until today after getting back the principal in the tenth month, and Le's mouth can't be closed. ”

"I see, what are the most profitable musical performances lately?" asked Tomoo Mizuguchi curiously.

CLARA THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT, AND THEN SAID ONE BY ONE: "WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THE "CATS" AND "DREAMGIRLS" MENTIONED JUST NOW ARE VERY PROFITABLE, AND THE POPULAR "ACHORUSLINE" HAS BEEN BREAKING RECORDS; "TAPDANCEKID", WHICH DEPICTS A TALENTED BOY IN TAP DANCING, IS VERY POPULAR BECAUSE OF ITS BORING STORY BUT GREAT SINGING AND DANCING, AND "MYONEANDONLY" AND "LACAGEAUXFOLLES" ARE ALSO VERY POPULAR WHEN THEY ARE RELEASED. ”

Speaking of this, Clara suddenly said to Takeshi Aoyama with a smile on her face, "How about it, Mr. Aoyama, are you interested in being a patron?"

"Oh, Miss Cher, do you have reliable inside information here?" asked Takeshi Aoyama curiously.

"Actually, I think that "DONOTFLYMETOTHEMOON", which I am in charge of now, is a very good new play, and I have been in charge of many plays before, but none of them have attracted me as much as this one. The plot must be familiar to Mr. Aoyama, because it is based on your Japanese folklore "Princess Running to the Moon". Clara said enthusiastically.

"Princess Pentato, do you mean Taketori Monogatari?" (this is the earliest known monogatari work in Japan)

Clara nodded and replied, "That's right, the princess born from bamboo is a science fiction story that returns to the moon when she grows up." Isn't Spielberg's "ET" the way it goes, and isn't it also very profitable. ”

"Who is in charge of the music, and is it reliable?" asked Tomoo Mizuguchi.

"The music is the best, it's Steve Wonder, and the performance is by two-time Tony Award-winning Bob Jose, how about it, reassuring, right?" Clara said proudly, and then took out a poster and said, "This is a poster made by our agency, how beautiful is it? If you are interested, Mr. Aoyama, you can attend our patron reception in three days." ”

"What is a patron reception?"

Before Clara could speak, Mizuguchi rushed to explain: "It's a reception for potential investors, to listen to the music and introduce the performers of the show." Patrons who are willing to invest will be present on the day, understand the content of the show and decide whether to invest or not, in other words, this is the main battlefield for the producer to decide the victory or defeat, and sometimes a reception can raise all the funds. ”

"And what is the smallest unit of investment? Miss Cher?"

"The total budget for the musical is $4 million, and the investment is $80,000 per unit. How about it, Mr. Aoyama, how many units are you going to put in?" asked Clara, full of wistfulness.

Aoyama Wu waved his hand again and again: "Eighty thousand dollars, where did I get so much money, it seems that I don't have this chance to make a fortune." ”

After lunch, Mizuguchi put his arm around Clara and winked at Takeshi Aoyama and said, "I won't be going back to the company today, I'll leave the rest to you, Brother Aoyama." ”

"Well, I understand. Takeshi Aoyama gave Mizuguchi a knowing look.

A few days later, Aoyama Takeshi was in the office to review the design drawings, suddenly Erin knocked on the door and walked in, I don't know if it was because the air conditioner in the house was too hot or for some other reason, Erin's shirt was fully opened three buttons, and a faint touch of spring light was revealed, seeing this scene, Aoyama was suddenly interested, first locked the door gently, and then held Erin in his arms, while walking around with both hands on her body, while whispering in her ear: "What's the matter, miss me?"

Erin said in a refusal manner: "Oh, section chief, don't make trouble, this is in the office." ”

Aoyama smiled: "What's wrong with the office? Don't you think it's more exciting in the office? And it is said that the sound insulation of my office is particularly good." ”

"Honey, don't make trouble, I really have something serious to come to you, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, it's a big deal to be okay with people at night. Erin reluctantly refused.

Aoyama said disapprerovingly: "Serious business, is there anything that can be corrected now?"

"It's really serious, it's worth $160,000. ”

As soon as he heard this number, Aoyama suddenly calmed down, let go of the big hand that was playing tricks on Erin, and asked Zhengse, "Sixteen00,000 dollars?

"The DPR just called and said that the $160,000 that should have been paid last month has not been received yet, so let's help find out what is going on?" said Erin as she straightened her clothes.

"And who is responsible for this money?" asked Aoyama.

"Mr. Mizuguchi, Outdoor Advertising Division. ”

As soon as he heard this answer, Qingshan suddenly secretly screamed in his heart, so he hurriedly explained: "I have something to go to the construction site, if someone comes to me, you can help me deal with it." Then he grabbed his coat and went out the door.

"Hey, Aoyama, what are you looking for me?" Tomoo Mizuguchi, who was directing the workers on the construction site, asked with some surprise when he saw Takeshi Aoyama's arrival.

"Mr. Mizuguchi, I have something to ask you, please come with me. Aoyama said quietly.

As if he hadn't heard him, Mizuguchi said to himself, "Hey, it's really time for you to come here, we're going to do a lighting test." HOW'S THAT, IT'S EYE-CATCHING, "DONOTFLYMETOTHEMOON" WILL BE RELEASED TOMORROW, AND IT'S HARD FOR ME TO CATCH UP......"

Takeshi Aoyama couldn't help it, so he interrupted him and asked directly, "Mr. Mizuguchi, I'm asking where your 160,000 dollars went?"

"Oh, I went to the sponsor reception and invested in two units. Tomoo Mizuguchi said lightly.

"Mizuguchi, are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing? You're embezzlement!"
