Chapter 15: The premiere is a hit

The day of the premiere of "Charlotte's Troubles".

There are still two hours before the start of the show, and there are already seven or eight scalpers scalping outside the door of the Copper Coin Theater.

It's not about selling tickets, it's about collecting them.

Everyone asked, "Is there a ticket?" Tickets are collected at a high price, and tickets for tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow are all collected. ”

Even Mi Xinghe, Zhou Yi and the newly recruited Zhou Ziheng were stopped by several scalpers: "Do you have a ticket?" Collect tickets at a high price. ”

Zhou Ziheng smiled, pointed at Zhou Yi and Mi Xinghe and said, "He is the starring actor, he is the boss, you didn't see the photo on the poster?" ”

The scalper smiled: "That's why I asked you to collect tickets?" Have it? How many evens? ”

Zhou Yi and Mi Xinghe were not angry at all, but very happy.

Scalpers are one of the barometers, and scalpers collect tickets to show that the drama is popular.

Zhou Yi asked the scalper: "Can I sell the ticket after collecting it?" Don't lose? ”

"I can't lose it", a scalper said, "I'll tell you the truth, as long as you collect the ticket, the original price of 30 yuan can be sold for 50, and the original price of 120 yuan can be sold for 180." ”

"So tall?"

"What's the use of high? No tickets! ”

The scalper sighed, took out a few business cards from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Yi and the others: "Contact me at any time if you have a ticket, I will collect it at a high price, which is more cost-effective than selling it at a low price for you." Anyway, it's all selling tickets, so who is it sold to? ”

Zhou Yi took the business card and looked at it, it was printed with the words "XX Consulting Company", put it away casually, and asked the scalper: "I heard that the Qianzhou People's Theater also has a performance, "Gujing Neighborhood", the work of the famous director Zhao Shanhe, why don't you go there to scalp the ticket?" ”

The scalper pouted: "Come on, don't dare to go." ”

"Why don't you dare to go?"

"Hmph, I suffered a loss from the People's Theater last year, they rehearsed a foreign play, and the actors wore wigs to perform, and the early publicity made a lot of noise. I was fooled and lame by them, hoarded dozens of tickets, and lost three or four hundred. I can't watch this year's "Gujing Neighborhood" either. ”

"Why not? I think it's pretty good. ”

"You're deliberately testing me, aren't you? You think I don't understand? ”

The scalper teased Zhou Yi and showed off, "I recently studied the drama of the Qianzhou People's Theater, one word: boring." How can it make people uncomfortable, how can they be arranged, as if this can appear profound.

"He was profound, and the audience was uncomfortable, like being pressed into the water and not allowing people to breathe.

"Will this work? Ordinary people spend money to have fun, you don't make people comfortable, can he spend money for you? ”

"Hey!" Zhou Yi gave a thumbs up and said to Mi Xinghe, "Did you hear that?" But if Zhao Shanhe has this feeling, they will already make a fortune. ”

……

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Copper Coin Theater was full of friends, and the drama "Charlotte's Troubles" was hotly opened.

Mi Xinghe stood at the door of the upper stage, covering his body with a velvet curtain. Looking at the audience upstairs and downstairs full of pits and valleys, smiling forward and backwards, I was extremely emotional, and I never dreamed that the drama would have today.

Looking at it, Mi Xinghe's face was full of happy smiles.

"Boss Mi, what are you laughing at?" Zhou Ziheng, holding a camera, stood beside Mi Xinghe.

Mi Xinghe pointed to the audience: "Look, there are so many people, I couldn't think of it before." It seems that it is not that the drama has no audience, but that the drama does not attract the audience. ”

"Yes, you have stubbornly found a way out for the drama."

"No", Mi Xinghe corrected the boat, "It's not 'we' who found a way out, it's him!" Mi Xinghe pointed to the stage: "This guy is awesome, he is a treasure given by God to Happy Rice." ”

He was referring to Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi's performance was relaxed and free.

There seems to be a kind of magic in him that draws the audience's attention to him.

His every action and every sentence affects the emotions of the audience, and when he wants the audience to laugh, he can make the audience laugh when he wants.

"If you want me to say, he is not only the baby of Happy Rice, but also the baby of the entire drama industry", Zhou Ziheng said:

"He is so young, he can write, direct, and act, and he is radiant and promising. What's ridiculous is that Zhao Shanhe is still blindly suppressing in the name of 'protecting drama', which is really ironic. Forget it, don't mention Zhao Shanhe, it's ...... upset"

……

The nearly three-hour performance was full of laughter from beginning to end, and no one left the venue early.

Those who often watch dramas know that it is not easy to do this.

At the end of the performance, the actors came out for a curtain call. Their curtain call method was copied by Zhou Yi from his previous life.

It's not that everyone comes out together for a curtain call, but a way of "one group leads to one group".

The temporary guest host Zhang Shaogang walked to the stage first and introduced himself first, what is his name, and what role he plays.

Everyone knew him and applauded enthusiastically.

Zhang Shaogang introduced the first group of actors, which were two tricks, introducing their names and roles respectively, and accepting the applause of the audience.

After the introduction of the first group of actors, the second group was introduced, and Zhang Shaogang introduced the actors and characters as usual.

Then, the first two groups of actors together lead to the third group of actors, and so on.

The further you go, the more important the actor's role is.

The penultimate group is two "drama flowers" - Meng Xiyang, who plays Ma Dongmei, and Hua Ping, who plays Qiu Ya.

In the end, all the actors on the stage applauded together, leading to Zhou Yi, the No. 1 actor and the actor of Charlotte.

All the audience in the audience had already stood up and gave the warmest and most lasting applause.

Zhang Shaogang specially introduced Zhou Yi, and even raised his voice an octave: "Guests, audiences, please allow me to solemnly introduce our best actor Zhou Yi, who plays Xia Luo in the play.

"It is particularly worth mentioning that Zhou Yi is not only the starring role of this drama, but also the screenwriter of "Charlotte's Troubles", but also the director, it is no exaggeration to say that without Zhou Yi, there would be no "Charlotte's Troubles", I propose ......"

He wanted to say, "I propose, let us give the warmest applause to Zhou Yi again", but in fact, there is no need to say that the applause and cheers have already overshadowed his voice and lasted for a long time.

Zhou Yi bowed three times in a row to thank him before he suppressed the applause and cheers.

And it doesn't end there.

Zhou Yi asked for the microphone from Zhang Shaogang, took the actors and the audience, and paid tribute to the lighting, sound effects, costumes, props, makeup and other behind-the-scenes staff one by one.

The curtain call lasted more than ten minutes.

Neither the cast nor the audience felt that it was dragging out or lengthy. The cast and crew enjoyed a level of respect that they had never felt before; Because of such a grand curtain ceremony, the audience was immersed in the baptism of theater culture and felt sacred.

The curtain call was over, and the audience left, still unsatisfied.

As an investor, Hua Ping took everyone to a five-star hotel overnight and had a sumptuous celebration banquet.

The hotel is the property of her and her husband's family, and Hua Ping has arranged it in advance, and a large number of people have been arranged to work overtime in the front and back kitchens.

During the banquet, Hua Ping announced on the spot that in order to celebrate the success of everyone's debut, everyone ate and drank openly, and she was not afraid to get drunk, she had opened a room for everyone in the hotel, and rested in the hotel when she was drunk.

The crowd cheered enthusiastically.

While eating, Zhou Yi received a text message on his mobile phone.

Zhou Yi checked, it was sent by Hua Ping: "I have already opened a room for you, wait for me." Zhou Yi looked up, across the round table, Hua Ping winked at him......
