[Chapter 22: Start] (3) Appearance and strength
There is a reason why Dong Li is called "the most handsome demolition expert in history", there is no need to explain this matter, but the title of "demolition expert" comes from Dong Li's own WeChat nickname: Master Dong specializes in demolition.
In the stage technology industry, the competition is professionalism and speed. In the professional field, as long as the variety of equipment that can be operated is complete enough, and then the lighting and sound control is gnawed, it is already a comprehensive professional, and any piece of stage art, lighting, sound, and machinery is an expert.
The speed of installing and dismantling the table involves the ability of overall management, which is not a linear thinking that ordinary technical personnel can compete.
Because of Zheng Fan's introduction, everyone finally knows that Dong Li is a well-known leader in the installation and dismantling of the stage, and the most exaggerated operation experience is that the opera dismantling of the stage with a performance scale of more than 200 people and the installation of Broadway musicals are carried out simultaneously, and an all-night is like a trick to change the scene of the Grand Theater, and the professional team of Broadway signed a gambling agreement because of lack of time, so they listened to the recommendation of the industry to gamble, but they not only completed the entrusted task, but also saved them rehearsal time, and they were all dumbfounded. Thumbs up.
Tang Qingyou still had doubts, and couldn't help but ask Zheng Fan: "It stands to reason that he should be a hot stage technology expert, with his ability, there are so many big theaters with busy business that need him, how can he be willing to come to a small theater like Qi Ao?" ”
Zheng Fan saw that Dong Li's entry was already a certainty, and finally revealed the bottom: "The previous unit, his girlfriend is also there." As a result, his girlfriend's work docking met with a large business owner, and as a result, he contributed to several commercial sponsorships, no, his ex-girlfriend became the leader in charge, and he resigned. When the new female leader took office, there were not many people who were originally convinced, and he wanted to resign, which was tantamount to adding chaos, so the girl went crazy and threatened to block him. I see that this is the right time, so hurry up and pull him over! Zheng Fan said and glanced at Tang Qingyou: "This line is the most relationship-oriented, Sister You won't worry about offending people, don't dare to use Dong Li, right?" ”
"It depends on who you sin. Others would rather offend the gentleman than the villain, but I am just the opposite. Tang Qingyou said, praising Zheng Fan, "You senior brother is not in vain, reliable!" Grab the bull by the horns! This is definitely the most tangible investment before the opening of Qiao Kai! ”
"Then I'll give Sister You's opening gift!" Zheng Fan said with a smile.
Tang Qing Youle received this "congratulatory gift".
Jiang Rui, who was thousands of miles away, learned that the "trinity" of the Qiao Drama Center was completely in place, so he deliberately flipped through the information sent to him by Tang Qingyou, and when he saw Dong Li's photo, he couldn't help but ridicule Tang Qingyou: "Teacher Tang, you use two handsome guys to help, left and right, pleasing to the eye!" ”
"Don't dare, Mr. Jiang, when you preside over the overall situation at the opening press conference, please be merciful, don't say that our iron triangle debuted by appearance." Tang Qingyou said with a smile.
Tang Qingyou didn't remind her, her reminder directly led to the opening ceremony, Jiang Rui talked about "appearance responsibility" to Chinese and foreign media, and a series of gossip reports about "the highest value art management expert combination in history" and "appearance and strength competition" came out later, which made Tang Qingyou cry and laugh.
Luckily, it's not a big deal. After all, the broad masses of people come to the Qiao Drama Center to watch dramas and performances and participate in artistic experience, not to see Tang Qingyou, Zou Jianfeng, and Dong Li.
It took three months from preparation to opening, and two months before the opening, all the first three months of performance projects were ticketed and pushed to the channel. On the first day of ticketing, the tickets for the opening premiere were sold out at one time - in short, for Tang Qingyou, who is a communication professional, the diversion during the opening period is particularly important, and the gimmick cannot be left out, with her judgment of the content and the ability to grasp the promotion, she chose a shortcut for the opening of Qiao Qiao, which is a road that is completely inconsistent with her personal choice.
The opening ceremony was a full-day program. In the morning, there will be an opening press conference and annual performance project promotion meeting, and in the afternoon, there will be an international theatre master forum and a drama workshop entitled "Liberate the Body and Mind, Let Yourself Fly", which will be held simultaneously in the theater and rehearsal hall respectively.
Press conferences, project promotion meetings, and drama workshops, these are the types of activities that Zou Jianfeng and Ni Huaner have done countless times, and they were quickly planned, and all newcomers were stuffed into the corresponding positions as if filling in the blanks, and the practical preparations began.
But when they arrived at the International Drama Masters Forum, Zou Jianfeng and Ni Huaner saw the first draft of the event plan thrown by Tang Qingyou, and they expressed 120,000 anxiety when they glanced at the specifications of the event: "Sister You, these are all art management experts and national treasure-level artists at the level of national theater directors from various countries, and several ambassadors and local leaders attended the opening speech of the forum. We really can't do it! ”
Tang Qingyou couldn't quite understand their reactions: "What's the problem that can't be done?" If it is not the heads of state to attend, the inside must be exquisite with various specifications, and the outside must be protected by live ammunition, then you can't handle it; Our event is that the artists of the higher level get together to chat, I will connect with the guests, I will tell you what to pay attention to, and you can also discuss with me if there are any problems during the period, and they can always be solved. ”
Ni Huan'er is the direct person in charge of the event implementation team, and her pressure is a little great: "Sister You, why don't you tell me first, are there any specific things that can't be done?" Let's give me a few examples, give me some direction, and let me feel at ease! ”
Tang Qingyou said with an encouraging look: "Actually, when I was at the Nanshan Grand Theater, on the first day you reported in front of me, I told you about my three nos. ”
Ni Huan'er naturally remembers it very clearly, the first time she saw Tang Qingyou was the re-examination of the application, and the second time she saw her was to report for entry. At that time, Tang Qingyou said the most wonderful passage: "You are younger than me, and in my opinion, being young means that you can make mistakes, you can keep making mistakes, of course, you can only make different mistakes each time." If you make the same mistakes again and again, and they are all due to internal causes, it is either a problem of ability or a problem of IQ, and then it must be solved. Also, very importantly, there are three mistakes that I cannot make here: political mistakes, principled mistakes, and basic mistakes. Let me talk about political mistakes first, which is absolute, 100% unacceptable......" In the later relationship, several newcomers joined the company, and Tang Qingyou kept repeating this "speech", so Ni Huaner knew very well that even if Tang Qingyou was not around and kept an eye on her work, she did not dare to slack off on her work.
Ni Huaner didn't expect Tang Qingyou to be the number one in the drama center, although he was not a "major minister in the court" in ancient times, he was also a "feudal official", but he was still as sincere and fully authorized as always, Ni Huaner found the answer he wanted in Tang Qingyou's tone, and seemed to be half relieved, but he still said a little timidly: "The first time I do foreign affairs activities, I ...... I don't know the bottom of my heart. Sister You, can you take me again in person like bringing a newcomer to this event? ”
Tang Qingyou saw that Ni Huan'er was intimidated, patiently encouraged, and gave examples to introduce some aspects to be paid attention to: "Foreign affairs activities, in the final analysis, political mistakes must not be made, it is best not to make mistakes of principle, and make fewer basic mistakes." For example, although our forum activities are a topic, in fact, if necessary, they can be divided into different angles to discuss the topic, so that the logic is clearer, and secondly, we can avoid the possibility of some embarrassing people sitting at the same table. For example, if the current attendance list is not yet final, we have to set a deadline to determine the final version, and we have to adjust the plan again on the deadline. We do this because we need to understand that while art knows no borders, artists have nationalities. Are there any countries where people don't want to put seats together? For example, US imperialism and Syria, for example, Russia and Ukraine......"
Ni Huan'er's eyes were shining with starlight: "Sister You, this is not an example, you have already told me what to do." I see! ”
"Well, that's my problem." Tang Qingyou smiled and said, "My inertial thinking, as soon as I find a problem, I think of an automatic solution." Originally, I thought there was still time, give you enough time to prepare, and you must have solved it properly. But as an example, I automatically switched to the solution channel. Of course, you can just take my set as a reference, if you have a better solution, communicate with me in advance, make complete preparations in advance, and don't be an afterthought. ”
Tang Qingyou's point is almost to the point, the plan is right to the end, after the tickets of the guests are set and confirmed, Ni Huaner looked at the final version of the list, and had to forcibly divide the event into the first half and the second half, adding a tea break in the middle, and adjusting the seating and stage time of the guests again, everything is ready, it can be regarded as Amitabha.
And the premiere of the night can be said to be the top priority of the entire opening ceremony.
In fact, Tang Qingyou's most ideal debut repertoire is the Renyi version of "Teahouse", followed by "Thunderstorm", after the attempt failed, she turned to thinking about director Lai Shengchuan's works, from "Dream Like a Dream" to "Treasure Island Village", she led the team to do an in-depth analysis of the topic selection, the former is an irreconcilable contradiction in terms of time and space, and the final comprehensive cost is higher than the affordable range, and the core audience positioning of the latter is not suitable for the single young group of the Cultural and Creative Park, so she can only give up one by one.
As an art lover, and being the person in charge of a performance venue, after all, they are two completely different states, and the starting point is completely different, and Tang Qingyou's first priority at the moment is to let Qiao live and live with glory, so in the end she spontaneously chose to make a little compromise with the market.
But she is still unwilling to introduce Lai's masterpiece "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" in everyone's eyes at such a special moment, although the lively play is indeed a classic.
In the end, the premiere repertoire was unanimously applauded - Tang Qingyou introduced a star version of the ballet "Swan Lake" from the Mariinsky Theater through a domestic powerful agency.
For the first performance, Tang Qingyou wants a double harvest of professional reputation and market data, so "Swan Lake", a classic play that can sell well in China no matter what grass stage team has, is undoubtedly the safest choice. Anyway, in the eyes of many Chinese people, "ballet" = "Swan Lake", when it comes to ballet, Swan Lake comes to mind, and when it comes to Swan Lake, it is considered a serious ballet.
But if you casually introduce a Swan Lake, even if the premiere is crowded, the professional status of the Qiao Drama Center will not stand...... As a result, Mariinsky, the industry benchmark for ballet, became the best partner in Tang Qingyou's mind.
