Chapter 129: Dilemma

Although Ah Xing said as if she was very confident in front of Hu Lingxuan. But what to do, she has no bottom in her heart. But as the Qingyun drama is staged day by day, the influence on Tingsong is slowly revealed.

Three days after Qingyun opened, the ticket price returned to 20 yuan, but even so, it was 5 yuan less than Tingsong's ticket price. 5 dollars is nothing for the rich, but for the average person, it still has a bit of weight. In addition, Qingyun's drama is not worse than Tingsong, and the environment is more comfortable, so gradually, some of Tingsong's regulars slowly lost to Qingyun.

In recent days, Tingsong's attendance rate has not been half of what it used to be, and Ah Xing has not thought of any other way for the time being, but to stage the new drama early, hoping that the new drama can bring back some customers. The first three days of the new drama still achieved a certain effect, and the guests seemed to come back a lot, and just when everyone was relieved, Qingyun also immediately launched a new play. As a result, the guests who were finally brought back left a lot.

Ah Xing and Ling Zifeng were very surprised by this matter, and they discussed this matter in private

Ling Zifeng said: "Qingyun's first play has not been staged for 10 days, how can a new play be launched so quickly!" A play is staged for too short a time. I don't make much money at all. ”

Ah Xing hated itchy, "They don't plan to make money at all now, they just want to defeat us in a short time, and when the time comes, they will monopolize the market, and they will naturally make money!" The Hu family is rich and rich, and if we compare our financial resources with them, we will lose! Speaking of this, a hint of apology appeared on Ah Xing's face, "Uncle Ling, in the final analysis, this is my personal grudge with Master Hu, but I didn't expect it to affect the theater and you!" ”

Ling Zifeng hurriedly said: "Ah Xing, don't say that, listen to Song's achievements today, everyone can earn so much silver, it is all because of your merits, Ah Xing is blessed to be able to share with us, and we naturally have to share it with you if there is a difficulty!" And the theater is so prosperous, it is only a matter of time before competitors appear, and you can't be completely blamed on it! ”

Ah Xing naturally knew that Ling Zifeng was comforting herself, and she was still very guilty about her involvement in the theater, so she secretly swore in her heart that she must find a way to let the theater get through the difficulties.

But how do you retain guests? If they want to watch the play, they will only come to Tingsong and will not go anywhere else. The drama itself is very important, and the script is also very important. In terms of scripts, she doesn't seem to have any advantages as a futuristic person. First of all, there are too many erotic love scripts that can't be chosen, because the audience is male. These plots are not pleasing, and the scenes of love and love inevitably have to touch their hands or something, if this is performed, they will definitely be branded as immoral. Men can't choose themes such as war that they like to watch, the stage is so big, how can you perform that kind of magnificent scene, and then it's not good to make it indecent. Some scripts with different ideas and different systems can't be chosen, this is not good, and the government will be accused of rebellion, which is a full house of beheading! Finally, now that the country is safe and secure, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and some heavy themes will not be pleasing, such as the very famous Lao She's teahouse, Camel Xiangzi, it is estimated that the people here will not like it. And Guan Hanqing's Dou E's injustice and other themes are not much different from the folk tales here, maybe the sentences are more classic, but she can't remember them all.

This doesn't work, that's not appropriate, think about it. I didn't come up with a script that could turn the tide.

Time passed day by day, Qingyun launched a new play every few days, and did not give Tingsong a chance to breathe at all, and later Manager Xu inquired that Qingyun had 8 drama groups and rehearsed non-stop every day, so he could launch a new play so quickly. Because Qingyun is always constantly innovating, so some dignitaries and nobles have slowly gone to his side, Qingyun's popularity is gradually booming, people are like this, they love to go to lively places, Qingyun's popularity is booming, and those ordinary guests also gather over there, and gradually form a habitual consumption, as long as you want to watch a play, you will go to Qingyun, not to mention that Qingyun's ticket price is relatively cheap.

Ling Zifeng discussed with Ah Xing: "Why don't we also lower the ticket price!" ”

Ah Xing sighed and said, "They are intent on crushing us, even if we drop to 20 yuan, they will drop to 15 yuan, they have money, they can afford to lose, it is useless." ”

Ling Zifeng was a little anxious, "Now the people in the theater are panicking, the old actors haven't said anything yet, but those new actors have begun to lose their breath." I'm afraid that if this continues, those dramas will have centrifugation. ”

Ling Zifeng's worries are not unreasonable, these days, Ah Xing has often seen those actors gather together in twos and threes. whispered something, and as soon as he saw her, he stopped talking, pretending that nothing had happened. Now because of the sharp decrease in guests, the actors have lost their enthusiasm for rehearsals and performances, and they are listless, although Ah Xing talked to them several times, encouraged them, and promised that they would soon find a solution, please rest assured and cheer them up. But as the number of guests became fewer and fewer day by day, Ah Xing's words became hollow and weak.

Originally, everyone was counting on the tour to bring some revenue and help the theater tide over the current difficulties. However, Qingyun also quickly launched a tour plan, because they have a large number of plays, so the density of tours is very high, almost every nearby town will go to it twice a month, so when the Tingsong Opera Group arrives there, almost all the spare money left by the guests to watch the play is spent on Qingyun, and the attendance rate is very bleak. As a result, the money earned from the tour was not enough to pay for the miscellaneous expenses on the road, so Steward Xu made a quick decision and immediately returned with the team.

In this way, everyone's morale was hit even more seriously. The whole theater was plunged into a gloomy fog.

At this time, Ah Xing felt that she had underestimated Hu Lingxuan, who was the future heir of the Hu family, and she did everything without omission, pressing step by step, leaving no room at all, ruthless and desperate, making her eager to bite off the meat on his body bite by bite. But no matter what, she doesn't want to lose to him, no matter what, she must find a way to get through this difficulty! The theater is the result of countless efforts that everyone has made to achieve today's achievements. She can't let the theater be ruined in her own hands!

But it's not that easy.

Now there are more than 50 plays in the theater, plus miscellaneous servants, small servants, and management staff, a month's silver will cost hundreds of taels of silver. The money earned this month is not enough to pay everyone's wages, and when the monthly silver is issued at the end of the month, it is still Ah Xing who takes out the silver from the money bank to send everyone's basic monthly silver. Everyone is used to taking dozens of taels of monthly silver for a month, and suddenly it is several times less at once, and they are all a little unaccustomed to it, and there is more gossip in private.

On this day, the actors who later signed contracts with the theater got together to discuss this matter

"There weren't ten guests yesterday, and if this continues, the theater will close soon, so what are we going to do?"

An actor who has been in the theater for a long time said: "Don't worry, Miss A-Xing is so smart, she will definitely think of a solution!" ”

"But I see that she is also worried, it's been more than a month, if you want to think of a way, you can already think of a way, last month can still send the basic monthly silver, I look at it like this, this month even the basic monthly silver can't be issued!"

"This Qingyun is rich and rich, it's easy to crush us, just pity us people, the former theater troupe no longer exists, if the theater is closed, what should we do?" One said worriedly.

This is what everyone is most worried about, and they all sighed for a while.

At this time, a person suddenly stood up, looked around, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Actually, Qingyun's steward has already contacted me, and he asked me to tell everyone that as long as everyone is willing to break the contract with Tingsong and go to Qingyun, the basic monthly silver is twice that of Tingsong." ”

Hearing this, some people frowned, some people showed interested expressions, and Li Quan, who had gathered people to gamble, said, "Is it true? However, we both signed a five-year contract with Tingsong. How can you break the covenant so easily? Miss A-Xing is so powerful, I'm afraid she will send us to court! ”

The other shook his head and said; "Miss A-Xing has always been good to us, but now that the theater is in trouble, we will leave, it seems that it is too unrighteous, I can't do this kind of thing!"

The first to mention this said, "Who would want to do such a thing?" Isn't there no way? When the theater was not closed, it was Qingyun who invited us to give us more silver, but once the theater was closed and we were displaced, we begged them, and then Qingyun still wanted us, maybe we would like it! ”

Li Quan took the lead and said: "Yes, for the sake of our own future, we should still be ruthless when we should be ruthless, now that the theater has no business, she can't drag us, it's too unreasonable." Now I'm going to find Miss A-Xing, tell us what we mean, and come with me if you want to leave for Qingyun! ”

As soon as Li Quan waved his hand, more than a dozen people followed him, and a few of the remaining dozen people hesitated and followed, one after another, and finally only five people were still standing there.

The group walked through the backyard to Ah Xing's study, clamoring to see Ah Xing.

Ah Xing heard the noise inside and immediately walked out, with Yun Duo and the Chen sisters following behind her.

Ah Xing walked out and saw so many people gathered together, with a rather excited expression on her face, and she vaguely knew what was going on.

Yun Duo said loudly: "At this time, everyone doesn't go to rehearsal, why are they all here?" ”

Li Quan stood up and said: "What's the use of rehearsals, who is it for?" There were only ten guests yesterday, and there has not been a single guest until now, and what kind of drama is there to rehearse, a waste of energy! ”

Yun Duo immediately blushed angrily and said angrily, "Why are you talking like that? Are you trying to make trouble? ”

Li Quan ignored the clouds, turned his face to look at Ah Xing and said, "Ah Xing girl, we don't want to make trouble, we are just here to discuss one thing with you!" ”

Ah Xing looked at him and asked lightly, "What's the matter?" "In this situation, she must remain calm, the theater must not be chaotic, and the people's hearts must not be scattered, otherwise, the theater will really have no hope!
