Chapter 22
"He may be the milkman who walks downstairs by your house one day, or the courier who delivers the parcel to you one day, or the waiter who brings you a delicious meal while you are eating at the restaurant one day."
"It's such a group of people and a group of students who have just entered college for a year, and this is the main actor of this drama that I want to introduce today."
"I don't have any discrimination about their profession, on the contrary, I watch this drama with great respect, because in my opinion, these people are the real entertainers compared to the big stars."
"They take a meager salary, do hard and tiring work, take out the time they can spare every day, put their children under the stage, put their livelihood tools on the edge of the stage, just for the dream in their hearts, and perform a drama with sincerity."
"They may seem so humble to the professionals, their performances are superficial, with countless flaws and omissions, but I can hear their success from the laughter of the few people in the audience."
"There is no doubt that our films can win awards at major film festivals around the world, and our traditional theaters have become popular all over the world, and the 21st century is the century of the republic, but behind the prosperity, there are also various problems."
"Since the nineties of the last century, our drama performance industry has been in a state of contraction, although there are still state-owned theaters such as human arts and military arts are struggling to support, but both the attendance rate and the operation have basically fallen to a valley bottom."
"Some people say that this is because our audience doesn't understand art, pure, please forgive me for being rude, because I can't help it, is it not good to blame the people who eat if the food is not delicious?"
"Three Dream Theater, a private theater that has been established for three years and is still struggling to insist, such a theater is really impossible to pay for publicity, at least I am not so cheap, a little money can make me speak, but this time, even if I am asked to pay for it, I am willing to do a promotion for this small theater, because they are really doing dramas with their hearts, and they are doing dramas that the people like to see."
"The drama "Charlotte's Troubles" does not have great connotation, some are just the true meaning of life reflected in the bizarre story, I don't say how good this drama is, but it makes me remember this story and remember this group of people."
On the last night of September, Liu Qing, the most poisonous and high-minded critic in the film and television circle of the Republic, posted such a comment on his Xunbo.
Liu Qing and Professor Cui Jingfang invited them, and they have always been very good friends.
After the daytime audition, the theater completely set the release time of the new play, without any publicity, relying only on the leaflets and small advertisements distributed by Wang Lei's group on the streets.
And as Liu Qing's Xunbo was seen by many people, the Three Dreams Theater began to have a little fame in the entertainment industry, at least in the Capital Film Academy.
At the same time, Wang Lei also released a message on his Xun broadcast, announcing the time when the new drama will be staged in the Three Dreams Theater, and Ma Dongmei also forwarded it for the first time, although she has not seen what this story related to her has been filmed, but the lovely girl must support it if she knows what Brother Lei does.
Ma Dongmei even begged the eldest sisters in the national team to promote it on Xunbo, which also made the Sanmeng Theater also have a certain popularity among volleyball fans, after all, the girls of the women's volleyball team of the Republic who just won the World Women's Volleyball Grand Prix collectively forwarded it, and this theater must have something to do with them.
On the first day of October, the Three Dreams Theater began selling tickets for the new play.
Although Ma Dongmei has returned to China, she has not yet returned to the capital, and the national team needs to summarize the work after winning the World Women's Volleyball Grand Prix in eastern Zhejiang, which will take one to two days.
Wang Lei set a ticket price of 200 yuan for the current Three Dreams Theater, which is a relatively low price, and in the capital, the minimum ticket price for dramas and stage plays in the human and military arts must reach more than 400 yuan. The Three Dreams Theater has just begun, and they are not sure whether this new drama can be popular or not, and they can't lose some potential ticket sources because the ticket prices are too expensive in the early stage.
However, to the surprise of the people at the Three Dreams Theater, the tickets for the first performance on October 3 were swept out as soon as they were released on October 1.
It was Liu Qing's quick broadcast propaganda and Cui Jingfang's popularity in the Capital Film Academy that caused this situation.
According to the plan, the new drama "Charlotte's Troubles" will be released every other day, which is already a relatively intensive way to release, after all, dramas are different from film and television dramas, which requires actors to perform on stage in person, and a two-hour performance actually consumes most of the physical strength and spirit of the leading actors.
Tickets for the 3-day show are pre-sold on October 1, while tickets for the 5-day show are pre-sold on October 2.
On October 3, when Ma Dongmei flew back to the capital on a plane, this new play "Charlotte's Troubles" for the Three Dreams Theater and even this time and space finally began its first day of release.
Zhang San and other main actors, as well as Wang Lei and others, ushered in the first audience with students from the Capital Film Academy and nearby police.
After the test screening, "Charlotte's Troubles" has a good reputation at the Capital Film Academy and the nearby police station, and the students and police officers who have watched the test screening have praised the show.
Although the price of 200 yuan is not cheap for students, Wang Lei wisely made a half-price preferential policy for students before the release.
Listening to the bursts of laughter coming from the theater and the soundtrack produced by Zhang Laopao, Wang Lei knew that his first step was right.
Although this step seems to be a little deviated, Wang Lei now actually knows very well what he wants to do.
As Ma Dongmei's popularity grows higher and higher, he Wang Lei is bound to become the object of many people's criticism and scrutiny, so Wang Lei knows that he is bound to make some achievements, some achievements that have turned many people's alternative eyes, no matter what, he Wang Lei is a "cripple" in the eyes of many people, no matter what Wang Lei does, he can't change this.
"Charlotte's Troubles" is an attempt by Wang Lei, he wants to know how many people will think of the relationship between him and Ma Dongmei, maybe some people will say that the two of you just live your life, no matter what you do, but living in this society, Wang Lei and Ma Dongmei cannot completely break away from this society, if they want to be happy together in the end, they must be recognized by most of the people in society, which is inevitable.
