Chapter 42: Drama (1100 Recommended)

Ling Zifeng's mouth grew up, and he didn't close it for a long time. Then he laughed: "Miss Axing, what did you say?" A play that doesn't need to be sung? Is there such a play? "What nonsense! As soon as I heard it, the other party was someone who didn't know anything about opera.

The connotation of opera includes singing, reading, doing, and playing, singing is the first place, without singing, can it still be called opera? also broke the gong's throat...... Can that come to power? is not qualified to be a drama at all!

Ling Zifeng was angry. Although he was very grateful for Ah Xing's kindness, he was really not interested in her casual nonsense. If it was someone else, he would have brushed his sleeves away, but because the other party was A Xing who wanted to help him, he resisted this impulse.

Ling Zifeng's reaction was completely within Ah Xing's expectations, for a person who has been in the opera industry for decades, it is indeed not a simple matter to persuade him not to "sing" opera.

"Boss Ling, think about it, how much time, energy and even money it takes to cultivate a good voice, so the salary of a famous actor will be so high, what is Fang Mozhu's salary before?"

Ling Zifeng said patiently: "His salary is almost one-third of all the expenses of the theater!" ”

Ah Xing clapped her hands: "Yes, that's why the cost of your theater is so high, but if you save one-third of the expenses, can you charge less money from the audience, and the price of watching the play is cheaper, will the audience come more times?" ”

Ling Zifeng was a little angry: "Ah Xing girl, but if you save one-third of the cost, the audience won't come!" "He's still here arguing with a little girl about such a pointless question!

Ah Xing shook her head, her expression gradually became serious, "The audience comes to see the play, it is just a pastime, the pursuit of a kind of spiritual entertainment, as long as we can bring them the same, or even better spiritual enjoyment, they are more willing to take out the silver from their pockets." ”

This sentence seemed to make a lot of sense, Ling Zifeng put away his carelessness, he looked down at the little girl with a dark face and a man's dress in front of him, "What do you mean by not having to sing?" ”

"Boss Ling, there is a kind of drama that does not need to sing, that is, some people are on stage, each of them plays a role, and the story is well expressed in the way of speaking. You don't need to sing songs, you can save the cost of inviting famous actors, you don't need to wear those fancy and expensive costumes, you can save a lot of costumes, and you don't have to paint heavy makeup as soon as you appear, you can save a lot of money for oil paint. Boss Ling, think about it, how much silver you have to save! ”

Ling Zifeng's expression became solemn, he made a gesture to ask Ah Xing to sit down, and then he sat down on the stone bench opposite her.

"But this kind of play, will anyone watch it?" He asked, confused.

"Actually, singing is true, many people can't understand it! It's just some vassal and elegant people who come to cheer on it. "Those Peking operas in her previous life, if there were no subtitles on TV, she really couldn't understand what those people were singing.

"But this kind of drama is very easy to understand, the dialogue in the drama book, just like what we say on weekdays, is plain and popular, which can be understood by everyone, making them feel like the stories happening around them, and it is easy for them to have a sense of resonance, and the characters in the play share joys and sorrows, and the sense of substitution is very strong, Boss Ling, think about it, you have substituted the audience's emotions, are they still unwilling to pay for the silver?" Just like movies and television in the past life, they have become an inseparable part of people's lives!

Ah Xing looked at Ling Zifeng with a smile, her eyes sparkling like two black gems.

Ling Zifeng's eyes were also getting brighter and brighter, and the corners of his mouth gradually showed a smile.

No one wants to face failure, and he doesn't want to take the people around him to wander around, live without a fixed place, and live a life of displacement, that is not his original intention, if there is really a feasible way, he will desperately grasp it.

The drama that Ah Xing said in her mouth that didn't need to be sung became clearer and clearer in her words, and it became more and more feasible.

A Xing continued: "More importantly, we don't have to worry about being poached in the future, and even if we are poached, we can quickly train a replacement person." And there is no requirement for singing skills for the play, so it is much easier to find the right play. ”

Ling Zifeng nodded again and again, looking at her, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a kind of admiration.

Ah Xing's tone gradually revealed a kind of excitement, "Another thing worth saying is that Boss Ling, in the future, our audience will not only be those who are rich, not only those who are vassals and elegant, we can expand the audience base, so that all the small families in the city can enter our theater!" ”

Ling Zifeng couldn't help but raise his head: "Small family, will they be willing to go to the theater to watch the play?" ”

Ah Xing smiled slightly and said, "Boss Ling, I'm definitely not talking nonsense, I have done some research in the past two days, do you know how much it costs to listen to a book in a teahouse?" About 15 yuan, 10 yuan is used to pay for the tea in the teahouse, 5 yuan is used to reward the storyteller, and if you order some snacks or something, it will probably cost more than 20 yuan. If our theater only charges twenty or thirty yuan for a seat......" She paused, then said in an accentuated tone, word by word: "I dare to guarantee that all the small families in Jincheng will come to visit our theater at least a few times a month!" Boss Ling, think about it, what kind of concept is that! ”

Ling Zifeng frowned: "But is twenty or thirty dollars too little?" "Is there any money to be made? In the past, it cost at least a few dollars to come to their theater to watch a play!

"Boss Ling, it's a lot! First of all, your costs are reduced, and you can add more seats in the theater so that you can accommodate more guests at the same time. And we can open two scenes a day, even if each scene is only seventy percent full, Boss Ling, you can calculate how much silver it is. ”

Ling Zifeng made a rough calculation in his heart, and after a while, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "The income will not be less than in the past!" ”

Ah Xing smiled: "But your expenses are one-third less!" And in the future, you don't have to worry about someone digging your corner, because the theater is no longer the most important pillar of the theater! You can continue to create the living environment you want! No one can force you with this tactic anymore! ”

Ling Zifeng's face gradually showed a solemn and solemn look, he stood up, tidied up his clothes, and then walked to Ah Xing's side and made a deep gesture towards her, "The girl came up with such a wonderful way to help Ling get through the difficulties. The girl's great kindness is unrequited by Ling! How can Ling have the face to share the interests with the girl equally, in the future, Tingsong Theater will be the girl's, and Ling is willing to be the girl's steward! ”

Ah Xing hurriedly stepped forward to help Ling Zifeng and said: "Boss Ling, don't be like this, Tingsong Theater is Boss Ling's hard work, how can I take it for myself, and I just have one mouth, the most important part of implementation depends on you, Boss Ling, so half of the interests is the most fair and reasonable!" Boss Ling, you don't have to insist on it! ”

Ling Zifeng saw that she was sincere, but he didn't insist on this matter anymore.

"When Ling first saw the girl, he knew that the girl was by no means an ordinary person, and now it seems that the girl is really a brilliant person, not to mention coming up with such a wonderful method, and doing things in an orderly manner, which is really admirable."

Being praised by him like this, Ah Xing was a little embarrassed, she knew that those wonderful methods were just copying the form of TV movies in her previous life...... She lowered her head and took a modest look.

In the end, Ling Zifeng asked her: "What is the name of this kind of drama that doesn't need to be sung?" ”

Ah Xing rolled her eyes and said, "Drama, let's call it drama!" ”
