Chapter 380: Dismal box office
Zhang Qili is naturally not too much, of course, specific matters still need to be negotiated later, as for the old family, Ye Chen has already thought about what to send them, but I don't know if they will shoot.
"Huazi, come and take a look, this is Ye Chen's choreographed drama, we don't have anything to do anyway, just take a look!"
"Go, go, of course I have to go, this kid is not big, and the affectionate confession in the Spring Festival Gala is simply my male god! Ahh β
After the two finished speaking, they walked in.
"Hey, come and see, there is a drama called "Life at the Outpost" here, it is a story in the barracks, it is a novelty, or we won't go to see "Black Gun", and we will go again tomorrow, this drama looks quite interesting, in that far western border, there is a group of lovely people, they are as tall as poplar trees, holding steel guns in their hands, guarding every inch of land in China! Tsk, when can a drama be written like this? β
The person who spoke was a bespectacled student who looked to be twenty-one or twelve years old, and next to him were five classmates, three men and three women, who were supposed to be lovers.
A girl looked at the report above: "Why don't we go and see!" Doesn't our school also have to choreograph dramas? Take this opportunity to see if there is a novel theme, this so-called military youth drama is fresh, just the publicity on this poster also moved me a lot, I can't help but think of Ye Chen's "Little Poplar", let's go and see it! β
"Yes, yes, let's go check it out! I also like "Little Poplar", and the song "We Are Soldiers" My brother is still at the Nanchazi outpost, he said that the environment there is very bad, but he is very happy, since this is a description of the northwest frontier, I want to see the life there. β
The three of them have decided, and the other three have nothing to say, just advance and retreat together.
After the six of them entered the Grand Theater, another couple passed by and looked at the poster above, in which the man said: "Wife, why don't we also go and see what kind of military drama this so-called first military youth drama is, and live in the border, how do they know the life in this place if they haven't been to the border, I have to take a look, I can't let them smear our border guards!" β
The middle-aged woman said: "Lao Li, you can't look for things, this drama is all artistic, you can go, but you are not allowed to look for things, otherwise, let's leave now!" β
The young man smiled: "Oh, wife, I have this temper, you don't know, I've been away from the frontier for so long, I just have an itch in my heart, I don't know what happened to my old comrades-in-arms?" β
The middle-aged woman gave him a blank look and said, "Okay, but don't make trouble!" β
As the middle-aged man nodded, the two also walked into the grand theater.
Then a speeding off-road vehicle passed by the Grand Theater, and then, retreated, a PLA soldier opened the door from the car and walked down, and then opened the rear side door, and an old man walked in from inside, about sixty years old, with gray hair, and then followed by two guards and walked in.
β¦β¦
With the loss of time, "Life at the Outpost" is about to start, and Ye Chen has already gone behind the scenes to make preparations, because the sound effects of the whole process are completed by himself, and only if he can imitate the harsh environment of the frontier over there, and feel it, it can be real.
This theater hall can accommodate 1,500 people, and when Ye Chen went behind the scenes, less than 300 tickets were sold, of which more than 200 were still from the school, but Ye Chen was not discouraged, because the audience of the drama is small after all, and there is still a big gap compared to the movie.
However, when Ye Chen stood behind the stage and looked down, there were already more than five hundred people in the audience, and it seemed that there were six hundred.
After Ye Chen subtracted all the classmates who made cameo appearances, there were still one or two hundred people left, which could be regarded as satisfying.
The ticket price is now five yuan a piece, and the full one is counted according to 200 people, and it also has an income of 1,000 yuan, which is rarely seen in ordinary drama performances, not to mention that there are no big names here.
Xiang Tianqiang, who was also sitting in the audience, was also a little incredulous, looking at the audience at the scene, this was too unexpected!
"These people are okay, compared to other drama performances, Ye Chen's kid is good, and there are no celebrities!"
Xiang Tianqiang sighed a little that this was because of the appeal of the name Ye Chen, otherwise, it is estimated that not many people would be willing to come to this drama.
"Hey, why don't you start yet, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't have a good movie to watch, I really didn't want to watch this military drama, what the first one, bragging!"
"It's up to you, Ye Chen is the screenwriter, I just don't know if it's the Ye Chen who sings "Little Poplar", if so, will he sing a song "Little Poplar" here, it's much cheaper than going to a concert."
The corners of Xiang Tianqiang's mouth twitched, he said it was good just now, but now when he heard the audience say this, he instantly became embarrassed.
This theater is also medium, Xiang Tianqiang originally wanted to arrange a small theater for Ye Chen, but knowing that it was half of Wang Xuefeng's protΓ©gΓ©, he directly approved a middle hall for use as a three-day performance.
It's just that the situation in front of me is really embarrassing, there are less than 800 people in a huge hall, and most of them are here to cheer.
There are not many people, but the performance still has to continue, and success cannot only be seen in front of you, after all, it is not over yet.
The show began, the lights were lit on the stage, a desert background, and several poplar trees of five or six meters were erected next to the fake house on the stage.
The plot is slowly advancing, and gradually there is a sound of the wind, and the sound is getting louder and louder, like a ghost crying wolf, which makes people frightened, and the wind is mixed with the sound of crackling.
The man who used to be a frontier soldier in the northwest trembled violently when he saw this scene, he seemed to have returned to that old age, patrolling with his comrades, resisting the cold wind.
"This show is really good! It's much better than those movies, but it's a bit out of place with these young people! β
"What do you know, I didn't see that the theme is a military youth drama, the main purpose of this drama is to show a substantial change from the ignorance of these students to the personal experience of border life, and the other is to explain the tenacity and unyielding character of you border soldiers, people are praising you, the meaning of this drama is to promote the honor and responsibility of PLA soldiers, and young people to move forward for their dreams, to be honest, this time we really came to the right place."
