[Chapter 06: Divide and Unite] (3) If you join for a long time, you must divide for a long time
The series of concerts in the opening season was carried out in an orderly manner, although Zhang Meng's solo concert made the Nanshan Grand Theater suddenly popular, but it soon fell flat, and the number of members imported by the ticketing channel did not continue to rise, but only steadily accumulated like the development of other theaters in the theater chain. Immediately followed by the drama week, because of the opening, the north and south cinema lines gave enough support for the early scheduling, the whole drama week is arranged for the famous works of the two sides of the strait, Taiwan's Lai Shengchuan, Hong Kong's Edward Lam, Beijing's Meng Jinghui, Tian Qinxin, and a basket of cutting-edge directors, almost all of them have picked representative works, there is no shortage of star versions, as time approaches, ticket consultation calls are getting hotter and hotter.
Originally, the outside world was questioning that the opening season of Nanshan Grand Theater did not arrange Lai Shengchuan's "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring", but arranged a "Treasure Island Village" that the public is not very familiar with.
Tang Qingyou sighed with emotion in front of Xie Zheng: "Mr. Ren's background in the veteran performance company is really worthy of its reputation, and he really has a hand in choosing the show!" ”
Xie Zheng nodded: "This is true. If you don't have genuine aesthetic ability, what kind of leader is you in this industry? However, Ren Zong's election of "Treasure Island and One Village" is also a retreat. ”
Tang Qingyou watched "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" many years ago, and even rehearsed some of these clips during the drama club, but he didn't know much about Lai Shengchuan's other works, so he immediately asked, Xie Zheng directly introduced it to her: "He came out with a new drama some time ago, called "Dream Like a Dream", which was suddenly pushed into the pinnacle of drama by the industry, and it takes 8 hours to perform a performance, and it takes half a month to install the stage, and the whole stage has to be remodeled. Don't even think about it, we can't take it at this stage. ”
At this time, Tang Qingyou, relying on information and imagination, naturally couldn't figure out the wonders of "A Dream Like a Dream", and the current "Treasure Island Village" was enough for her to take the initiative to work overtime and watch the drama "twice".
"Treasure Island One Village" tells the story of several generations of neighborhoods in Taiwan's military villages, which started at 7:30 and ended at nearly 12 o'clock. At the end of the performance, the audience can each receive a hot meat bun from the hands of the venue staff and then appear on the stage - this is one of the marketing methods of the crew, but this idea is also rooted in the content of the play, in the ordinary, true and touching story of "Treasure Island Village", there is a veteran from Shandong, after settling in a military village in Taiwan, relying on the steamed bun craft brought out from his hometown Shandong to support his family, relying on the taste of steamed buns to read his hometown, and waiting until the historic reunion with relatives in the mainland.
In the cold winter, I watched the drama for four hours, and I was hungry, and at this time I held a hot bun in my hand, which felt really different from watching a play usually, not to mention, the packaging LOGO of this meat bun is still the "No. 99 Military Village" that sells Shandong buns in the play. It's really not easy to forget about this drama in the future.
With the word-of-mouth of the first performance, the attendance rate of the second "Treasure Island Village" has skyrocketed. At the end of the day, the audience who spent hundreds or thousands of yuan on average to buy tickets lined up to receive meat buns with high value and high cost of ticket paper materials, which shows its success.
Tang Qingyou purely came to watch the drama by himself after work, and was not on duty, but seeing that the field staff on duty were too busy, he took the initiative to roll up his sleeves and stepped forward to help distribute buns. As a result, in the process of distributing buns, she met an old man, her closest partner when she was a student in the drama club, her own brother Fei Dong.
Tang Qingyou buried her hair in buns, and she didn't have time to look at the faces of the audience, when she was suddenly screamed, "Youyou!" I was stunned, and my heart skipped half a beat. In addition to her family in this world, the only people who call her leisurely are Tu Yiran and Fei Dong. She looked up with a heartbeat, saw Fei Dong's long-lost face, and shouted "Baboon!" This was Fei Dong's nickname when he was a student.
In this unexpected reunion, both of them were more surprised than happy to meet.
The current occasion is really not suitable for reminiscence, Tang Qingyou pointed to the side and asked Fei Dong to wait for a while, Chen Dali, who was on duty, looked at this here, and hurriedly stepped forward to take on Tang Qingyou's work at hand, and asked her to "call a friend".
Fei Dong looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter with you?" Didn't you say that you were getting along with that investment god? How did you get here? ”
Tang Qingyou looked at Fei Dong, who was dressed in a straight suit and dressed up like five or six, the scene of the seamless cooperation in the past flashed in her mind, and she was always full of emotion when she reunited, she was naturally full of curiosity about Fei Dong's recent situation, but she was preempted by Fei Dong, and she didn't have time to sort out her thoughts, let alone hide her recent situation, so she replied bluntly: "It's divided." It's not fun to break up and work again, I have to find my own way, right? I didn't know what I could do for a while, so I came to the theater. ”
"The theater is very good, congratulations on finally seeing through the red dust and coming back to chase your dreams." Fei Dong caught the clues of the lie in her eyes, but he didn't delve into it, and laughed heartily, "The drama queen of the year is going to reappear, which is a great blessing for the performance industry." ”
Tang Qingyou has always been immune to compliments, so he will not comment. She was only curious, didn't Fei Dong go to Beijing to develop as soon as he graduated, why did he turn back again?
Fei Dong replied half-truthfully: "I just came back to my alma mater to remember my youth." I heard that the North and South Cinema Line has received a new theater, and the opening performance is quite large, so I came to take a look. ”
Tang Qingyou grasped the key point in his words and asked, "Where are you now?" ”
Fei Dongle replied: "Huayi Cinema." This is the largest and highest-standard one among the four major performance theaters in China, known as the "national team".
Tang Qingyou instantly showed a sudden expression of realization: "It turned out that I came to spy on the military situation." ”
"It's not that serious." Fei Dong shook the ticket in his hand, "Actually, I was invited by the performance manager to watch the drama." ”
Tang Qingyou glanced at it, and sure enough, the ticket was a "work ticket". The one who can be entertained by the performance manager will inevitably not be the average second-class staff. Her curiosity was a little heavier: "It seems that you are doing well in Huayi, what level have you reached?" ”
Fei Dong shrugged his shoulders: "After so many years, I just got to the vice president of the region." ”
There are dozens of theaters under the jurisdiction of one region, and that's it! Tang Qingyou thought to herself that Fei Dong was really a master of the arts, and in just a few years, he had reached the top of the entertainment industry with his bare hands, and he could be regarded as a leader among the alumni, right? I asked him why he wanted to go back to his alma mater, and sure enough, his alma mater opened a major in arts management and sent him an invitation to return to the university to teach graduate students.
"It's also a hassle to attend classes regularly, but the titles of multiple guest professors make it easy to walk in the rivers and lakes." Fei Dong summed up lightly.
Tang Qingyou, who was beaten back to the initial stage of the workplace by his life experience, only had the share left to look forward to at this time: "Okay, Professor Fei, don't be smuggling in front of me, I'm still doing chores on the front line, you help me diagnose and diagnose first, when can I climb to the position where I can barely talk to you?" ”
"I know a little bit about the North and South Cinema Line." Fei Dong thought thoughtfully, "It's difficult." ”
Tang Qingyou silently chewed Fei Dong's "difficult", reminisced about all the things since he joined the company, and deeply understood, and no longer asked about it. The two returned to the joy of reunion after a long absence, and went to the food stall to chat until the sky was bright.
Although Fei Dong still had to catch a plane after dawn and Tang Qingyou still had to go to work, the two still drank a dozen beers on an unhealthy supper.
On the occasion of separation, Fei Dong raised his glass and said: "The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time." Yoyo, welcome back to the performing arts stage. ”
Tang Qingyou clinked his glass and said, "It's a pity that I'm not in the same system as you, I can't cooperate with you like before, and I can't expect the sky to fall and you will stand up." It's a bit of a pity. "The battle for enclosure between the four major cinema chains continues to be staged, Huayi Cinema Line has a strong momentum, and there are many bid-winning battles with the North and South Cinema Lines, which can be regarded as legitimate rivals. Tang Qingyou and Fei Dong can only continue to be alumni.
However, Fei Dong is in a different position after all, and if he stands high, he can look far away: "Since you are back, we will definitely have a chance to cooperate." After drinking a glass of wine, looking at the person in front of him, he said something he had said when he was a student: "If you need anything, you can tell me at any time, senior brother, I will go to the soup and fight the fire." ”
Tang Qingyou smiled: "You are enough." I really encountered a sea of swords and fires, and if you want to help, I don't dare to ask for help. I'll let you go to the soup and go to the fire, and your wife can't kill me? Forget it, I'd better work hard to cultivate and seek more blessings for myself! She had already observed the wedding diamond ring on Fei Dong's ring finger, but the topic had not been talked about here, so she did not take the initiative to mention it, until the moment when he made a heavy promise, she suddenly felt that it was time to point it out.
Fei Dong smiled disappreciatively, patted his chest and promised: "My family is sensible." We are brothers and sisters, if you really encounter difficulties, she will jump out if I don't come forward, don't worry! ”
Although Tang Qingyou couldn't believe it, he also had expectations: "The next time the class starts, bring people back to my alma mater for a walk, I haven't seen my sister-in-law yet." ”
"What do you know, she still wants to see you! Oh, actually, you know, the senior sister of our drama club who is several years younger than us, the one known as the shadow boy. ”
"Huh?" Tang Qingyou was stunned, "That's the one, before I quit the drama club, the screenwriter of our original drama?" ”
"That's right. She's a fan of yours. ”
"You're really...... A match made in heaven! Tang Qingyou couldn't help but be happy, "I have paid attention to her news, that idol star Wang Shu successfully transformed into a director, not thanks to Ah Ying's book." When are you going to bring her over, and we'll get together, shall we? I've been out of touch with you for too long, I really didn't expect you to get married! By the way, you pushed her number to me! He shook his phone as he spoke.
"Good!"
……
The senior brothers and little sisters who used to fight side by side have become rare superiors in this industry, and they are just pending monks who have just become halfway home, which may seem a little sad in the eyes of the world. However, after all, Tang Qingyou has been a senior manager for many years, and there is always a pride in the depths of his heart that others can't see - although the phoenix that has landed is not as good as a chicken, but the world is blind, and he must not sink with it.
She thought silently, no matter how many plug-ins and great talent she had, she couldn't spell the word diligence. Heaven rewards diligence is an ancient saying, the law of 10,000 hours is the king, with her old scalper's style, if Bo can't have a bright future, then it is not a problem of the world's blindness, it should be bad luck to enter the cult.
With all her imagination exhausted, she couldn't think of the possibility that her career would not be formally developed. So in the process of intermittent message chat with Fei Dong, she drew a circle: "Senior brother, when I climb to the position of director, I can propose projects to open up new fields, and then we will cooperate again and reproduce our original drama, so that feelings and business can be harvested, what do you think?" ”
Fei Dong replied: "This is exactly what I expected but didn't dare to mention. I'm afraid you haven't played for two days and run away. This time, let's talk about it! I have been in Huayi Cinema for the years since I graduated, but the so-called producer of so many projects I have been a pseudonym has never been carried out in person. As long as you are in charge of the content, I will personally lead the team to execute the production! I've always believed that working with people who share the same artistic aspirations is the only way to produce real work. ”
Tang Qingyou thought about it very seriously, and replied categorically: "Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely not be a scalper this time." ”
I'm not the little girl who can be cheated away with a lollipop. Now that I've found my goal, I'm going to do my best. She secretly cheered herself up.
