Chapter 168: Signing Meeting
The play "A Doll's House" begins at half past seven in the evening, and before that, the audience and readers meet in the square outside the theater.
It's not yet six o'clock, and Su Wen hasn't arrived for the signing yet, but the matrix company has already begun to sell the physical book of "A Doll's House" on the side.
Many readers bought the work, held it in their hands, and automatically queued up, waiting for Su Wen's arrival; By the time it was almost six o'clock, the line was already very long, and it was more than two hundred people.
Tang Ya stood in the distance, watching the lively scene of the scene, and smiled with satisfaction.
Next to her, there was a Sven man, he pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, you should be relieved to see so many people coming to buy "A Doll's House", right?" ”
Tang Ya glanced at the book in the other party's hand, shook her head and said, "Teacher Tan, you can't be careless." ”
This person is none other than Tan Yao, the chief playwright of their company.
At this time, he was also carrying a copy of "A Doll's House" in his hand, and Tang Ya asked him what he was doing with it before, and he said very firmly that he used it to sign for Su Wen!
At this moment, he also incarnated as a fan of Su Wen and wanted to get an icon for his idol.
In addition, his "A Doll's House" was not bought on the spot, it is said to be the first book that was successfully printed and bound, which is very meaningful, and it would be more valuable if Su Wen's signature was added.
Tang Ya is no longer surprised by Tan Yao's use of "A Doll's House" as a masterpiece, these days, he has repeatedly asked to meet with Su Wen, but unfortunately the latter has found reasons to shirk, saying that he will not participate in the follow-up of the work, so as not to make everyone get along.
Tan Yao could only endure this impulse, and finally waited for the day when he could meet Su Wen today.
It's a pity that there were too many people on the scene, and they could only say one or two sentences when signing autographs, and they couldn't communicate dramatically.
However, Tan Yao has also made up his mind. When he invited Su Wen to watch the play, he sat next to him, and he had countless questions to ask Su Wen.
Looking at Tan Yao's expectant and sacred appearance, Tang Ya was helpless and funny, that is, their chief playwright affirmed and respected "A Doll's House", so she did her best to tilt the company's resources into this drama. Want to be an instant hit in the market.
Today is the day to test their efforts.
Thinking about it, Tang Ya was still worried in her heart, and couldn't help asking: "Teacher Tan, do you really think that "A Doll's House" can make a big difference in the market?" ”
"Mr. Tang, how many times have you asked this question? Not fifty times, but thirty, right? Tan Yao felt that his ears were about to grow calluses.
Tang Ya said uneasily: "I'm still worried. Because I believe you, I had three million copies of A Doll's House printed at once, and. I'll bring in all the troupes I can mobilize to rehearse this play, if ......"
"There will be no surprises!" Tan Yao said firmly, "If you say that this "Doll's House" will be turned into a film and television drama, I definitely do not advocate or support it." However, with Gao Bing's excellent performance, there should be no big problems in theatrical performances! The evaluation must be very high! As for the publishing market, you can rest assured. I think the most anticipated thing for A Doll's House is the publishing market! The word of mouth has risen, and naturally many readers have paid for it. Besides. Now Su Wen is no longer a nobody, and his fame can already be used to hype. Even Romeo and Juliet sells three to four million copies a month, what are you worried about? ”
Tan Yao has said these words countless times, but Tang Ya is still worried, this is the difficulty of an operator. seems to be full of confidence, but in fact, before the results come out, they will be nervous.
"I hope so." Tang Ya sighed, looked at her watch, and changed the subject. "It's almost six o'clock, why hasn't Su Wen come yet? What about Gao Bing? She's going to come to the scene to help out, and then go back to put on makeup! ”
Tan Yao shrugged: "Gao Bing said that he picked up Su Wen." ”
"Uh......"
Tan Yao said again: "Gao Bing is bent on competing for glory with Concubine Bai Luo, with expectations, but in fact, she is also worried, and now she only hopes that Su Wen's works can indeed make her beautiful." So...... She can now be said to be full of hope pinned on Su Wen...... Oh, here they are! ”
Following Tan Yao's gestures, Tang Ya saw Su Wen coming from the other direction of the square under the leadership of Gao Bing.
Su Wen is just that, Gao Bing is a public figure in Yuezhou after all, and soon those fans will recognize her-
"Gao Bing!"
"Ice Goddess!"
"The Ice Goddess is really here, I thought it was just publicity! Haha, envy those who don't believe in this! Wait a minute, I want the signature of the Ice Goddess, go back and post it on the Internet! ”
"Huh...... Who's next to the Ice Goddess? What man would be so honored to walk with her? ”
"You goat-headed dog meat sellers, get out of here! This is Su Wen's signing meeting, of course that person is Su Wen! If you want Gao Bing's signature, get out of the way, don't stand on our Su Tiancai's side! Don't you see that we are all Su Wen readers behind us? ”
"What Su Wen is not Su Wen, I am here today as the goddess of ice! If you don't have our ice goddess, who will watch your "Doll's House"! ”
"That is, you are still so arrogant with the blessing of our ice goddess?"
"You...... Our Suwen drama is the most important thing! Didn't you see that Concubine Bai Luo regained the second spring of her career again because she played our Su Wen's "Romeo and Juliet"? ”
"In drama, the actors are the most important thing!"
"It's the script that counts!"
"Actor ......"
"Playwright ......"
The two groups of fans are different, although there is a quarrel, but it does not affect the big event of them queuing up for autographs, after seeing Gao Bing and Su Wen arrive at the signing location, some people spontaneously lined up in two columns, forming two long queues.
By the time the signing officially began, the two teams were far away, and the total number of people was estimated to be four or five hundred.
It was Su Wen who entered with Gao Bing, and seeing so many readers coming to the scene, two long queues, and a large number of people, Su Wen was both happy and apprehensive.
When there are so many people who come to support, they are naturally happy; However, the thought of signing so many book names makes my hands weak, and it is not a comfortable thing.
In preparation for this signing, Su Wen had people design artistic fonts. I've been practicing it repeatedly for the past few days, and now I'm very proficient and good-looking.
In fact, Tang Ya asked him to sign and sell books, but he was reluctant at first, thinking that it was not a good thing for a writer to show his head too much.
A few days ago, he became the owner of the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, and if he wants to save this small publishing house, he needs to use his fame - then. Signing this kind of platform can hype up a writer, and if the effect is good, the fame will be greater, and the income will be greater.
The owner only knew that firewood and rice were expensive, and for the sake of the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, Su Wen was willing to go out and promised Tang Ya to sign for "A Doll's House", which is why today's itinerary is there.
Under the guidance of the staff. Su Wen sat down behind the long table under the banner and waited for the signing to proceed.
As soon as he saw Su Wen's figure, Tan Yao beside Tang Ya swooped out, went straight to the already long line, and also lined up in the background.
Tang Ya was dumbfounded, walked over and asked softly, "Teacher Tan, if you want to sign, let's just find Su Wen directly." Why stand in line? ”
Tan Yao shook his finger and said, "You don't understand." If you use the relationship to find Su Wen to sign. It doesn't mean anything to me, it doesn't reflect my sincerity, and it doesn't reflect my respect for Su Wen and "A Doll's House". ”
Tang Ya smiled bitterly, she felt that Tan Yao had been poisoned by Su Wen - to be exact, poisoned by "A Doll's House". Since reading this play, Tan Yao has become a different person. has completely become a fan of Su Wen, and there is no style and reserve of a chief playwright at all!
"That's it." Shaking his head, Tang Ya asked him to line up by himself, and went straight to the front to greet Su Wenhe Gao Bing, and then didn't arrange his affairs.
in the ranks. Lin Yutong excitedly pulled his grandfather and father in line, and specially pointed to the young man in front of them to introduce Su Wen, who was her alumnus!
The master of the Lin family also met Su Wen for the first time, and his first impression was that this person was very young.
Or rather, too young!
Compared with his achievements, Su Wen's age is even more surprising, and it is impossible not to sigh: "A hero is a teenager!" ”
Lin Guzhi nodded slightly, smiled and waited for the team to move forward, and in his hand, he took the "Doll's House" that he had just bought. Like him, Lin Yutong and her father each held a copy.
It can be said that their whole family is also quite desperate in order to support Su Wen.
Gao Bing has experience in facing thousands of audiences, today she made a temporary guest host, picked up the microphone, first thanked the people present for their hard work, and then did not say a word, directly introduced Su Wen beside her, and said with a smile that today he is the biggest protagonist.
In order not to delay everyone's time, Gao Bing asked Su Wen to say some polite words, and then announced the start of the signing.
At first, Su Wen signed it himself, and at first he felt fresh, but after only holding on for more than ten minutes, and signing only dozens of books, he felt miserable, and his hand holding the pen trembled, and he felt that his fingers were so hard that he formed claws and couldn't stretch.
Looking at the number of people queuing up at the scene, there were still a large number of people, and he began to pull Gao Bing into the water, saying that "A Doll's House" is also Gao Bing's work, and the people who came to the scene, in addition to his readers, there are also many viewers who support Gao Bing.
Everyone came so enthusiastically, Gao Bing couldn't disappoint the audience, so he suggested that she help sign it, but Gao Bing refused to take the lead. But Su Wen came up with such a way to save herself, how could she easily dodge it.
He threw out the killer idea and directly asked the audience if they agreed. There are indeed many fans of Gao Bing at the scene, who can get in close contact with idols, all of them howling and saying that they are good, and shouting loudly that Gao Bing wants to pity them.
At this time, Gao Bing had nothing to say, so he could only pull a chair, sit next to Su Wen, and start signing autographs for the people at the scene.
As soon as everyone saw this action, they cheered, and many people who were originally blocked in front of Su Wen ran to Gao Bing's side, which greatly reduced Su Wen's workload.
The trick succeeded, Su Wen continued to sign, and by nearly seven o'clock, a third of the people in the queue had not yet received their signatures. However, Gao Bing couldn't stay any longer, and "A Doll's House" was going to be staged at half past seven, and she had to put on makeup at least forty or fifty minutes in advance.
For this reason, the readers and audience at the scene were very considerate - the most shameless was Su Wen, and when Gao Bing announced that he would stop writing and leave, he also stood up and said that he would go to the backstage of the theater to help make the final preparations for the play.
This reason is also very powerful, even if the reader is dissatisfied, or regretful, he can only watch Su Wen and Gao Bing leave.
The signing session, which was supposed to last an hour, ended twenty minutes early.
Forgive Su Wen, when he left, his right hand was already trembling and numb, so heavy that it was uncomfortable to put anywhere.
That's the price of the signing!
The crowd dispersed, and those who bought books and did not watch plays went to other things; Those who bought tickets to the theater entered the theater one after another, waiting for "A Doll's House" to be staged.
When Su Wen arrived at the backstage of the theater, he saw that it was busy inside, and he didn't dare to disturb it, and after slipping around, he turned back to the front desk and found his seat in the front row.
At this time, seven o'clock had passed, and the audience entered one after another, and sat down in twos and threes, and the theater became noisy for a while.
To be honest, Su Wen is also quite looking forward to Gao Bing's version of "A Doll's House", before this, he has not seen what the effect is, and he has not even appeared in Gao Bing's rehearsal.
Strictly speaking, he is not very qualified as an original playwright. However, he thinks that this is self-knowledge, a play, even if there is a text dialogue, it is the most ideal state, and if you want to achieve the stage effect, you must make some adaptations. If the other party makes drastic changes to his work in front of him, the original author, it is equivalent to a person's child being beaten in the face, what is it!
Su Wen was afraid that he couldn't help but say something at that time, so that he would have an unpleasant quarrel with the matrix company, so it was better to be out of sight at the beginning.
The biggest change in "A Doll's House", Su Wen heard Gao Bing say that it was a small scene at the beginning of the plot of Nala forging a signature loan because her husband was sick, and this was used as the beginning to explain the background and advance the plot later.
In this way, it is more picturesque, but there is less suspense and more cumbersomeness. Su Wen was noncommittal about this, and really kept his mouth shut.
While Su Wen was waiting for the play to start, Tang Ya brought a middle-aged man to his side, introducing him as Tan Yao, the chief playwright of their Matrix Group's Dongguang Branch, and also said that the rehearsal of "A Doll's House" was in charge of the playwright Tan, including various plot layouts, all of which were his handwriting.
In addition, Tang Ya also deliberately pointed out that Tan Yao admired "A Doll's House" very much, admired its creator very much, and went to the outside to queue up to get an autograph from Su Wen before.
Su Wen was a little surprised by this, and couldn't help but glance at Tan Yao a few more times, and found that the latter was looking at him excitedly, holding his hand tightly and saying, "Mr. Su, I can finally communicate with you face-to-face, and it is still at the performance site of "A Doll's House", this is ...... It means so much! I think your "A Doll's House" is the best theatrical work I've seen in the past few years, and I ...... I'm so honored to meet you! ”
"Huh?" Su Wen was taken aback, he didn't expect Tan Yao to hold him so high.
Before Su Wen could speak, an unhappy voice came from the side: "Brother Tan, are you exaggerating?" You say it's the best theatrical production, is that when none of us exist? ”
The three of them turned their heads to look and saw that it was an acquaintance who spoke.
Xie Kun! (To be continued......)
