Chapter Seventy-Eight: On the Eve of the Premiere

(Ask for a ticket!) Ask for a ticket! οΌ‰

"It seems that you and Chris have secrets to hide from me~" Sarah said angrily.

She doesn't really blame, the joke is even more.

"Ha~ It's not a secret, I helped Chris find a new job, maybe you'll see his name in the Times soon~"

Sarah opened her mouth a little surprised:

"The Times? This..."

"Yes, wait for him to tell you specifically, I believe he won't hide it from you~"

Li Yaoyang seemed to mean something, but Sarah pretended not to understand, looking ignorant.

"Okay, let's get down to business, I want to double the size of the advertisement~"

"Doubling the size? Thisβ€”" Sarah hesitated, knowing that she had invested a lot of money in "The Phantom of the Opera."

Although this investment in advertising is far less than that of theater renovation, it is by no means a small amount.

Now that it was going to double again, she had to hesitate.

Li Yaoyang sat down and said patiently:

"I need 'The Phantom of the Opera' to make a splash in New York as quickly as possible, and if I can, while this shareholder wind blows to the West Coast, then it's a matter of minutes to make money."

After a pause, he chased after him and said:

"I think you've heard about it, right? Kane is already preparing for an all-ugly tour of "Titanic", and the first stops are San Francisco and Los Angeles on the West Coast, where theaters offer very sincere proportions and a lot of signing fees. ”

Sarah bit her lip:

"Lee, I said that I would trust you unconditionally if you came, but so far we have invested too much.

Of course, it's not that I can't get the money to double the size of advertising, but is it necessary?

At the current scale, it is enough to reach a potential audience! ”

Li Yaoyang shook his head:

"Not enough, far from enough!

Sarah, you have to understand that our target audience is not only the so-called middle and high-end groups, but also everyone who can afford to grit their teeth and buy a ticket.

Why did "Titanic" become popular on the streets? Because the heroes and heroines in the story fit the imagination of various groups.

Ordinary people yearn for the life of shredded meat and admire her courage to love and hate.

The rich were moved by Jack's sincerity of not being humble or arrogant, and daring to give his life for his beloved.

Every audience can find a sense of substitution in this play, which is why it can really become a sensation, not just a beautiful and moving love. ”

Seeing her eyes wandering, I understood her inner hesitation.

Continued:

And the mystery that pervades the whole story in "The Phantom of the Opera", and the love between humans and ghosts, can definitely arouse the curiosity of the audience.

Eric, who lives like a ghost in the sewers, is like a poor person living at the bottom of the ladder in real life.

Don't they want to have a normal life? Don't want to have a love that lasts until you die?

Of course I want to, but unfortunately reality does not allow it.

But in the play, Eric did, and not only did he do it, but he controlled an opera house in his own way..."

Sarah suddenly spoke:

"I understand what you mean, I'll give you the money, I hope you don't let me down~"

"Absolutely not!" Although he hasn't finished what he wants to say, it is enough to achieve his goal, and Li Yaoyang does not have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

However, he was a little curious, why Sarah's mood took a sharp turn, as if it brought back some sad memories for her?

Forget it, it doesn't matter, with Sarah's approval, he can go to the finance to advertise.

This time, when he is not ready to Titanic, he needs to rely on marketing to stimulate the market.

What he wants to play is a trick of completely crushing, from beginning to end.

A large number of hard and wide slammed down, forcing the audience to be curious and having to contribute their wallets.

It doesn't matter if you have money or not, if you don't want to be separated from society, if you still have a beautiful yearning for this world, then please go to the Hudson Theater and watch a wonderful performance.

In the midst of the overwhelming advertising bombardment, "The Phantom of the Opera" finally ushered in its premiere, and the theater has been waiting for it for a long time, and Li Yaoyang himself is also excited.

Sarah even took out a complete set of jewelry given to her by her husband when she got married, like a fully armed general, welcoming guests in the venue.

The premiere is divided into two parts, one is a charity auction of tickets, and the other is the official performance.

The auction opens at 5 p.m., followed by an hour-long buffet dinner, and the curtain kicks off at 8:30 p.m.

This arrangement was ingenious and refreshed the attention of New York's high society.

It turns out that selling tickets can also be played like this, and they are very interested in all this.

No one thinks it's going to cost them more, for these people, money isn't an issue, it's the latest trends, the most fun models, and the most glamorous processes that matter.

The invitation letter was handwritten by Li Yaoyang and Sarah, sealed with fire paint, and sent people to deliver it door-to-door.

This invitation is not only a qualification for admission, but also a voucher to be able to buy tickets, and it is also a status symbol for your high society.

On this day, everyone in New York knows that the Hudson Theater is going to hold a grand celebrity party, so whether you can receive an invitation is the most intuitive reflection of your status.

You can ask if you don't get an invitation, but if you don't receive it, it means that you haven't been in the eyes of others at all, and you will become a laughing stock when you get together with friends you have been there in the future.

I have to say that Li Yaoyang's hand played very beautifully, which successfully aroused the comparison of the upper class, and directly raised the status of the Hudson Theater.

Let's put it this way, from now on, the Hudson Theater will be a high-end venue in the hearts of celebrities, and the top name in the theater industry is not just anyone who can come casually.

Of course, ordinary people can enter, but you may have to drain all your possessions and come once in a while to try something new, and you can't be like them, and going to the theater is a daily routine.

The most terrifying thing is that all this is done imperceptibly, and when everyone realizes that the wood is already in the boat, the raw rice is ripe early.

Many employees of the company have noticed that the boss left very early today, and they are all dressed up brightly.

So much so that before three o'clock in the afternoon, Manhattan was stuck in traffic.

In the evening, the sun sets, and in the congestion, the celebrities and rich people of New York and even New Jersey gather outside the Hudson Theater.

The main road outside the door is congested, and although there is a special person to guide it, it is still impossible to avoid the chaotic scene.

Not only the theater staff, the parking boys, but also the sheriff are helping to clear the order.

Chaotic, from a certain point of view, it is no different from the scene of the rural rush.

It's just that everyone is dressed better, and the mode of transportation is a little more advanced!

Of course, the people in it don't feel messy, even if they raise the volume of their speech for this reason, they don't seem so gentlemanly and ladylike, but they are still tireless.

The big people who are familiar but rarely seen on weekdays have appeared, and the enthusiasm for communication is instantly high. Mess with your uncle!
