Chapter 14: Tickets are sold out
"What do you suggest?" Zhou Ziheng asked.
"I advise you that the article should be written or written."
Zhou Ziheng was stunned for a moment: "You mean, speak for you and criticize Zhao Shanhe?" ”
"No!" Zhou Yi denied it, "It's good for me for you to criticize him, but I don't want you to do it." The reason is very simple, I don't support Zhao Shanhe's point of view, but my perception may not be right, different positions, different views.
"So I suggest you throw the topic out and let the community discuss it together. If drama wants to develop, is it better to stick to tradition, or to innovate and change? ”
Zhou Ziheng smiled: "You mean, let the common people judge by fighting, right?" By the way, a hype? ”
"No, you underestimate me", Zhou Yi said with a smile, "Zhao Shanhe and I win or lose, there is no need to fight at all, and I don't need to support me from all walks of life, the crushing at the box office is enough." As for the hype, yes, I want the hype, to keep the topic hot.
"But have you thought about it, is it only me who really benefits from such hype? No, such hype is good for the entire drama industry, for the People's Theater, for Zhao Shanhe, and even for the box office of "Gujing Neighborhood".
"The drama industry is too deserted, it needs too much heat, and it needs to re-enter the public eye and people's lives through hype. At least let people know that in a certain corner, there are still a large number of drama people who have no fame and no profit, and are silently inheriting and struggling for the drama career. Reporter Zhou, do you think I'm right? ”
"......" Zhou Ziheng was stunned for a moment, and nodded vigorously, "Yes! ”
Zhou Ziheng was even surprised and moved, he didn't expect Zhou Yi's pattern to be so big, he could jump out of personal grievances, start from the drama, think for the drama, what he thinks, what he sees, and what he does is not comparable to himself and Zhao Shanhe, the drama industry needs such a person.
"Brother, I'll report the topic when I go back, you leave me the phone, and we can communicate at any time."
"Don't worry", Zhou Yi said, "Since you are here, take a look at our rehearsals, feel "Charlotte's Troubles", and then talk to our actors, I believe that you will definitely fall in love with our drama." In addition, we have a little bit of a little bit for you, and if needed, we can also help you complete a few newspaper subscription tasks......"
"Don't!" Zhou Ziheng said, "I want to watch your rehearsals, and I'm looking forward to it." But it's a little bit of a newspaper subscription, I'm different from them. I have to be responsible for my heart and ensure neutrality; Also be responsible for the words and be impartial......"
Zhou Yi gave a thumbs up, such a reporter can be worthy of the word "reporter".
……
As Zhou Yi expected, Zhou Ziheng was quite pleasantly surprised after watching the rehearsals and interviewing many actors from the drama club.
He finally understood that the reporters who cheered for "Charlotte's Troubles" were not touting it for the sake of the carriage and horses, and that "Charlotte's Troubles" was indeed interesting and refreshing.
It seems that the violation of the "three-in-one law" and the deviation from the "three proximity" commented by Zhao Shanhe are purely "crimes of desire".
Lao Zhao, your pattern is too far from others. If you report it truthfully, where will you have the face of Lao Zhao?
Or do things in a big way, abandon personal grievances, start from the common drama career, create topics, maintain popularity, and think about the overall situation of drama.
Such people can be acquainted.
……
After going back, Zhao Shanhe immediately reported on the selection of topics, wrote articles, and opened a special page in the literary newspaper to show the views of Zhao Shanhe and Zhou Yi, and let them fight on the page.
The page also featured portraits of two people.
At the end of the article, telephone, email and mailing addresses are also reserved, and calls, letters, and letters from all walks of life are welcome to discuss the drama and collide with opinions.
The next day, Zhou Yi, Mi Xinghe and others saw the newspaper and were very happy.
The layout is large and informative. Although the text is as neutral as possible, at a glance, Zhou Yi's views have the absolute upper hand.
It can be seen from this that Zhou Ziheng supports Zhou Yi and them deep down.
Don't underestimate the influence of the literary newspaper, although it is a professional newspaper, and its circulation is not as large as that of the evening newspaper, the morning newspaper, and the legal newspaper, but the audience of the literary newspaper is high, and it is more or less related to the literary and artistic circle, and many people are potential audiences of dramas.
Sure enough, this article once again boosted ticket sales for "Charlotte's Troubles", and the premiere tickets were basically sold out.
In the next two days, the literary and art newspaper tracked and published the views of the masses, and many people in the cultural circle also wrote articles to "end" the debate, including Zhao Shanhe's "childcare".
Of course, Zhou Yi was not idle, and personally wrote an article, which was published under the pseudonym "Xia Luo", throwing out the "Three Questions for Punishment", and mercilessly criticizing the "Trinity Law" and the pseudo "Three Closeness".
His articles were reprinted by major portals, and their influence was huge, making Zhao Shanhe disgraced.
For the next three days, "Charlotte's Troubles" continued to be hot.
Coupled with Zhang Shaogang's operation, CCTV did a special program, paying attention to and reporting on this hot drama debate, and hyped Happy Rice and "Charlotte's Troubles" to an unimaginable new popularity.
This is the most important reason why Zhou Yi advocated the "introduction" of Zhang Shaogang at the beginning.
Channels are very important, platforms are critical, and at critical moments, relationships are more useful than strength.
After this wave, it was terrible that all 10 tickets for the first round of "Charlotte's Troubles" were sold out. After the tickets for the fifth show were released, all of them were sold at a higher price.
All in all, "Charlotte's Troubles" will make a lot of money.
Mi Xinghe was so happy all day long that he made money for the first time in the past year of investing in dramas.
He paid Zhou Yi a high screenwriting fee, director fee, and performance fee, and is contacting the theater to renew the contract and carry out a second round of performances.
Investor Hua Ping was also very happy, she never dreamed that she would invest in dramas for Zhou Yi's appearance, not only regaining her dream of being an actor, but also making a lot of money.
Now she is Zhou Yi in her eyes, Zhou Yi in her head, and Zhou Yi even in her dreams, and she can't wait for the world to suddenly explode, that is, she and Zhou Yi are left, and then she will not get out of bed for the rest of her life.
It's a pity that the assistant arranged for her by the coal boss looked at her like a camera, and she was uncomfortable.
Wait, as long as you want to, you can always find an opportunity.
……
Everything went well, just waiting for the premiere.
The day before the premiere, the reporter of the literary newspaper and the main writer of the literary and artistic boat came to the drama club.
He came to say goodbye to Zhou Yi and the others.
Zhou Yi was very surprised, and only found out when he asked. Because of a series of recent reports, the anxious Zhao Shanhe asked people to make a stumbling block, and put pressure on the literary newspaper through the upper-level relationship, saying that Zhou Ziheng took Zhou Yi's money, spoke for "Happy Rice", and attacked the Qianzhou People's Theater.
He did this in order to stop Zhou from arrogance.
Zhou Ziheng scoffed, resigned angrily, and prepared to go south to Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Before leaving, I came to find Zhou Yi's resignation.
Zhou Yi was speechless, those grandsons are not doing personnel! The polemic failed, and he took the boat to vent his anger.
"Reporter Zhou, why don't you go to Guangzhou, stay in Happy Rice and let us be a public relations minister, right? We need people to ...... that."
Zhou Ziheng's eyes lit up, this is a new way out!
