[Chapter 10: Turning the Corner] (1) The catastrophe that "flies".

Although the Nanshan Grand Theatre is newly opened, and the Oriental Art Season has concentrated all kinds of traditional repertoire that are well received by urbanites, the ticketing has maintained a steady growth, and the membership system has also been launched this season, which is in good shape. In the early days of opening, it could grow steadily in the off-season, and the Nanshan Grand Theater was also a stable blue-chip, so in this spring, the theater was full of spring breeze and a happy scene.

The days flew by, and the Oriental Art Season soon came to an end. The much-regarded "Flying Sky" has received the keen attention of the literary and artistic crowd in the whole city, and the box office ticket numbers are going up slowly. At the same time, the demand for votes from all walks of life has also exploded. There are many people who don't understand art, but those who don't know the "Flying Queen" are a little too lonely. Even if it's just to look at the goddess, people from all walks of life are all trying to ask for tickets. In the eyes of many people, one or two thousand yuan is not enough for a meal, but he is reluctant to buy a VIP performance ticket. In the eyes of some more strange high-level people, being invited to watch a play is a status symbol, which shows that there are many people you know, and buying tickets to watch the show is lowering the price. As a result, the cultivation of the performance market often encounters a bottleneck after low-priced tickets are sold. Ordinary people grab low-cost tickets, elites don't have time to watch plays, those who have money and leisure refuse to buy tickets, and a performance ticket affects all kinds of things in the world. Even Minglan opened her mouth and asked Tang Qingyou: "Does "Flying Sky" have a ticket?" ”

Who asked, Tang Qingyou pretended to be stupid and replied: "Yes, please call the hotline 400XXXXXXX, or go directly to the ticket hall for consultation." But in front of Minglan, she really couldn't act, so she had to tell the truth: "The ticket must be said." Ticket sales, employee discounts are not as high as membership discounts, if you want to buy, I will find a customer who has charged a membership to help you buy it; If you want to wait for free tickets, you can either ask the reporters first, and when they attended the press conference, the Grand Theater promised that each reporter could get a media ticket before the performance; Or wait, wait until the day before the performance, if there is a relatively large area of vacant seats, the theater will organize an audience in order to make the scene look good, and then each employee will be issued two welfare tickets, then I will have a ticket in my hand. ”

Minglan smiled and said "nerd", seeing her embarrassed look, she comforted a few more words: "It's okay, I'll just ask casually." It's easy for me to get a ticket, and I don't need to embarrass you. "——Director Ming of the Tangtang Broadcasting Center, if she wants to go to a performance, there are many people rushing to solve the admission problem for her, how difficult can it be? At the end, she changed the topic again: "By the way, did you invite Mr. Zhan Hong, a drama professor, to give a lecture some time ago?" You are his protégé, help me find him to find out the wind? When I heard that his son was about to take over as Dean of the School of Communication, I had to go and get close. ”

Tang Qingyou was a little curious: "What major task does Mingtai need to go out in person?" ”

Minglan didn't play sloppy, and directly handed over: "I want to get a guest seat." Learn from you and pave yourself a way out. ”

Tang Qingyou showed a surprised expression: "Brother-in-law is about to be promoted, you actually find a way out for yourself?" I can't understand it anymore. ”

Minglan touched her head, smiled lightly, and asked rhetorically, "Junior sister, do you know what I like about you the most?" ”

Tang Qingyou shook his head.

I only heard Minglan say: "It's stupid and naïve." ”

Tang Qingyou looked at her with wide eyes: "My IQ is not low, right?" ”

Ming Lan sneered: "In this city, if you come out of a serious university, everyone's IQ will not be much different." It's just that some people play tricks, some people hide great wisdom, some people have bad luck, and some people have a good life. Your past environment was too simple, so I said you were stupid and naïve. You've known me for so many years, and you've gotten closer than anyone else, but you haven't understood anything. But that's fine, it's less burdensome. ”

Tang Qingyou was confused, scratched his scalp and said with a sneer: "Please give guidance to Senior Sister?" ”

Minglan shook her head: "I'd rather you can live stupidly and naively for the rest of your life." ”

Although Tang Qingyou was also curious, he did not break the habit of asking questions in the casserole in the face of gossip, and obediently turned back to the original topic: "Okay." I'll go find Zhan Lao's side to investigate. However, you may not know that Zhan Lao and Zhan Peng have a very general relationship and do not live together. ”

"Call you stupid, you know this?" Ming Lan was a little surprised, "Old man Zhan is still talking to you about this?" ”

Tang Qingyou smiled: "Not only Zhan Lao, but also his wife." The old couple didn't mention Zhanpeng at home. When we went to visit, we accidentally talked about Dean Zhan, and they all immediately changed their faces, saying that he was not at ease to do academics, and he was anxious for quick success or something, and he didn't usually communicate much, and he didn't let us have too much contact with Zhanpeng, except for one person...... That's right! Someone can get Zhan Peng! Tang Qingyou thought of a way to solve the problem, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "You don't know if you know it, Zhan Lao's proud protégé is not me, it is Fei Dong, who has been the president of Pingsheng Drama Club for many years." He's really a strange person, I don't know how to get Zhan Lao and Zhan Peng at the same time, and often be their mouthpiece - by the way, Fei Dong told me last time that he was going back to school as a visiting professor! He must know what to do! Tang Qingyou talked to herself, without waiting for Minglan to react next, she had already called Fei Dong quickly, spread out the matter directly on the phone, introduced the two sides, and let Minglan and Fei Dong talk directly.

Fei Dong seemed to be confident, and offered to help Minglan find someone to complete the relevant procedures. Minglan didn't expect such an excellent junior as Fei Dong to appear, and she was happy to save trouble, so she accepted this favor. Everything went smoothly and everyone was happy, and Tang Qingyou's guilt for not giving Minglan a ticket instantly faded a lot.

In fact, before the opening of the first performance of "Feitian", although the box office was still intensively selling tickets, most of the tickets for the second and third performances were out, and the box office of the first show sprinted to the last day, and the ticket rate was only about 80%. However, this 80% figure still reassures the theater a little, because the next two performances will be driven by word-of-mouth, and the ticket sales have skyrocketed.

It's just that on the day of the first performance of "Flying Sky", from the moment of admission, it seemed suspicious.

On the same day, because some reporters had not yet collected the tickets, Tang Qingyou took Ni Huaner to stare at the security checkpoint at the entrance and exit of the audience to receive reporters, and stared at the performance for more than ten minutes, and the tickets in his hand had not been distributed, and there were more than a dozen left. Just when Tang Qingyou was silently complaining in her heart about those reporters and viewers who disrespected art and were late at will, Ren Taichu somehow appeared in front of her, counted the media tickets in her hand with a black face, and reprimanded her, to the effect that the media tickets were all second-class good seats second only to VIP, with an average of nearly 1,000 yuan per ticket, and she actually wasted more than a dozen at once!

Tang Qingyou felt aggrieved, but the empty door was also silently reminding her that the absence of many media reporters was an established fact, so she lowered her head and listened to the training.

The property center reported the ticket inspection data at this time, Tang Qingyou was surprised to hear it, and Ren Taichu had to frown. Eighty percent of the ticket sales rate reached the end, and only 70% attended, and the absence of one or two hundred people should be the biggest black spot in the history of the Flying Queen's performance. To make matters worse, after the break, the number of spectators in the second half dropped by almost ten percentage points. When Tang Qingyou was still in the clouds, Ni Huaner handed the Weibo interface of her mobile phone to Tang Qingyou, and she figured out the ins and outs. The night's anomalous mystery was finally solved, and the absence of so many people turned out to be due to a flying catastrophe, and the whole city fell into a butterfly effect. And this top-level performance of the Grand Theater doesn't know if it's a butterfly flapping its wings, or a storm under the influence of the effect.

Just fifteen minutes before the premiere of "Flying Sky" began, on a main road closest to the high-tech zone in the old city, a bus full of teachers and students who got off work exploded.

At the same time, the media who had already entered the theater were isolated from the world because of the theater's signal blocking, and they did not know that the sky outside had fallen.

The local media have not had time to react first, and this major accident has spread rapidly on the Internet, and the impact is extremely bad. Because, this is a man-made accident.

An uncle from a five-guarantee household, carrying extreme disappointment and even hatred for this society, carried a barrel of homemade liquid explosives, and detonated the entire bus at the last three-way intersection leading to the high-tech zone in the downtown area with the most serious traffic jams.

This is a human tragedy. In the past, Tang Qingyou could only see the official report on the news, and heard a few words from the after-dinner chats of people she didn't know, but this time, she became a part of this butterfly effect, and she was a little depressed inexplicably, and finally Zou Jianfeng explained her: "Sister You, I think, that's why there is performing arts." Nine times out of ten, life is not satisfactory, if you don't vigorously promote the little one or two into a good thing, how can ordinary people live well? ”

However, Zou Jianfeng didn't know that Tang Qingyou was most worried about Minglan's future. At that premiere, Minglan was also in the venue, she was afraid of missing the opening, so she didn't even eat dinner, so she sat in the audience half an hour early. So, it was equivalent to hitting the muzzle of the gun this time. In the following days, Tang Qingyou heard and saw all kinds of big discussions in the press and media circles, about the timely response to emergencies, people in the industry questioned the professionalism of the local press circles, and some people even found out the so-called "truth of the facts", and really overturned a boatload of people with a rod: "Many directors and presidents actually continued to stay at the Nanshan Grand Theater to watch "Feitian" when the accident occurred! This includes the easiest radio station to complete the live broadcast! This is no longer a news accident, but a press disaster! "Loud and loud. And Tang Qingyou seems to be the only one left in the world who knows that the mobile phone signal is blocked in the theater, and she thinks every day about how to rescue this group of media colleagues who are caught in the middle of the disaster.
