Chapter 109: Artist Chamber of Commerce
In the palace, Yang Cheng sent a batch of furniture carefully built by his craftsmen to Wang Ye without injury.
Those furniture are beautifully made and soft and smooth to the touch. Different from other furniture, it shows luxury and luxury, with a lot of precious materials for decoration, and there are gold wire carved dragons around it lifelike, which is extremely noble at a glance.
Candle Wuxian was very happy, and he pulled Yang Cheng to have some wine and food, singing and dancing.
Yang Cheng has a better and better impression of Candle Wuju, he is sloppy on the surface, and his heart is also good, but in fact, he is nothing more than a poor person who does not hurt his father and does not love his brother. Candle is not injured or Yang Cheng is like this, there is no distinction between high and low in his heart, and he can usually have a heart-to-heart relationship. The two are becoming more and more familiar, talking about the rise and fall of dynasties, ancient and modern wind and moon, human geography, anecdotes about rivers and lakes, and everything to talk about.
But the palace is really boring, and the hospitality is the old three, appreciating treasures, enjoying dances, and visiting the garden. At the beginning, there was still a sense of freshness, but after coming three or four times, Yang Cheng was already lacking in interest. Candle Wuxian, who was drinking and watching the dance, saw Yang Cheng sitting there wandering in the world, and also waved his hand, asking the dancers and musicians to retreat.
Yang Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Lord Wang, don't you feel bored doing these things every day?"
Hearing this, Candle Wuxian was saddened and sighed: "Master Yang, don't say you find it boring, I've been watching it for more than ten years, and I'm tired of it for a long time." But what can I do but eat, drink, and be merry? How many pairs of eyes are staring at me? ”
"Well, indeed, this is the so-called confinement of the Emperor's Family, right?" Yang Cheng nodded.
"Confinement? yes, I'll complain and complain to you. We, the princes and grandsons, look high and noble, to put it bluntly, I am being raised in captivity. You must not step out of the fiefdom in your life, and eat, drink and have fun until you die, so that some people can be reassured. Candle Wuxian took a sip of wine.
"Then you haven't thought about doing something?" Yang Cheng asked.
Candle Wuxian looked around in horror and confirmed that there was no one, and only Yan Wenlong was guarding there outside the door. This person Yang Cheng has been introduced by Candle Wuxian, he is his uncle, and he is also the only master of the Jindan period in the palace. Because the royal family was afraid that the princes and grandsons would form a party for personal gain, the control of the prince's armament was stricter than that of the families.
There are no more than 200 people in each royal palace, and only one person is allowed to stay in the Jindan powerhouse. The only Jindan powerhouse is still his mother's concubine's family, and they specially arranged to protect his safety. In addition, the housekeeper Yan Huan is not able to build the foundation period, but he is also carefully selected by the Yan family to assist without injury.
Candle Wu said sadly: "Master Yang, don't talk nonsense. He was most afraid of being admonished, and he had not seen the last tragic situation of those ambitious brothers in the palace before. But in all political affairs, he consciously avoided as far as he could, and did not dare to be contaminated.
Yang Cheng said in his heart: You are still a prince, I am afraid that you will become like this. Gong Dou drama, he didn't watch it less, so naturally he couldn't make any trouble, so he diverted the topic and said: "Don't call me Master Yang, it sounds like a raw thing, just call me Yang Cheng." ”
Candle Wuxian nodded, and he didn't feel so much courtesy with Yang Cheng: "I'm a little older than Xu, so I'll call you Brother Yang, right?"
Yang Cheng smiled: "It's okay." Then he was curious: "By the way, Lord Wang, last time you said that your fief was only enshrined with eight million spirit coins every year, why is it so small? Not to mention that Wuzhou has a large number of people, the population of Wuzhou City is hundreds of millions, but the tax revenue is so small?" Yang Cheng was not afraid of taboos, he was purely curious, and asked directly about the bottom of the family.
Candle Wu sighed: "Every year, most of the taxes in Wuzhou City are sent to the Eastern Capital. and then sent from the eastern capital to the central capital, this is a royal rule, and the city-states do not dare to stay privately. The rest is left by the lord of the city for political purposes. There are only so many that have been sent to me, and it is not eight million spirit coins, and it has to count food, cloth, jewelry, and medicinal materials, which are only worth this price when they are combined. ”
"Hey, not enough. ”
Yang Cheng was silent, if the candle was unharmed and did not squander, it could be regarded as a wealthy family.
"By the way, the last time you and I talked about it, did you go back and think about it carefully? Candle asked, but he didn't pay attention to it. He didn't have much hope for anything he had never heard of.
Yang Cheng said: "After you and I talked about it last time, I went back and thought about it. The prince is full of talents here, and he can enter the entertainment industry, and that industry is fame and fortune. ”
"What do you mean by 'entertainment industry'?"
Yang Cheng said: "I think you have a servant, a singer, and a dancer here, and they should all be regarded as the top of Wuzhou, right?"
Candle said proudly: "This is natural." ”
"The prince pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and has sheltered a lot of talented and beautiful women, this timely good deed is also a resource, the prince just guards the wealth and does not know it, as long as it is used properly, it will naturally be rich. The so-called entertainment industry is a matter of wind and snow, and it is really suitable for you. ”
Candle raised his eyebrows without injury, and said in his heart: It is suitable for the wind and snow, I am in the hearts of others, just this image? But it is okay, the more this is the case, the more you can reassure the royal family, why not spend your life in peace, why bother with a little false name.
I also heard Yang Cheng say: "There are very few entertainment careers in Wuzhou City, except for watching the martial arts competition, there are also some green buildings where you can listen to music and watch dances, and there are few other entertainments." The prince can first choose some prosperous areas in some urban areas and establish a number of theaters. Select excellent artists and carry out star-making projects. Select talented and good-looking talents, train them, and perform in the theater first. Performances can take a variety of forms, such as songs, dances, and stage plays, and first popularize a certain level of appreciation, and then build momentum and attract fans to tour around the world. At that time, he will be famous all over the world, from the kings and grandsons to the nobles, down to the merchants and merchants, all of them will come to send money....."
Seeing that Yang Cheng talked about Qian indecently, and he was still a little moved, Candle Wuxian was also a little moved, and waved his hand and said: "Wait, wait, what you just said about the theater, star-making plan, tour, or something?" I have never heard of it, and I asked Brother Yang to tell me in detail." ”
So Yang Cheng spent half a day to give Candle no injury, and gave a detailed introduction to the acting industry in his previous life, as well as the operation of the artist company he understood. How to make stars, how to publicize, how to build a support group to build momentum, how to tour. It also depicts a variety of performance forms, so that the candle who is well versed in singing and dancing is also breathtaking.
talked about the madness of the fans and the financial resources of the artists, which made Candle Wuxian shocked and doubted, but felt that the wealth was huge, and he wanted to try it.
Candle Wuxian groaned for a moment and said, "Okay, I've done this." "Anyway, he doesn't lack money if he saves a little, and there are many conveniences in doing things. It's just that I want to do something on my own.
He rubbed his head again and said, "It's just that I don't know about this specific operation, and I still need Brother Yang to lend a hand." “
Yang Cheng said: "This is easy to say. ”
Candle asked, "Then how do we take the first step?"
Yang Cheng said: "In the name of the prince, establish an artist chamber of commerce and give artists a legitimate name." You also know that your name is good, and you can give these women a safety guarantee, so that outsiders dare not make up their minds. In addition, in the future, the artist chamber of commerce will become bigger, and those talented women in the folk will also feel that it is good to enjoy the shade with their backs against the big tree, so they are willing to join in. ”
Candle Wuxian nodded, just like the mercenary group, it was born from scratch and was born according to the needs of the environment, so that those casual cultivators had the proper reputation and guarantee to walk the rivers and lakes. Yang Cheng took out a booklet from his arms and said: "Lord Wang, there are many talents here, and there is naturally no problem with song and dance lyrics. Here are some lyrics I wrote recently, which should be suitable for singing, refreshing, and the prince can take them to rehearsal. If anyone can become famous with a song, it will be regarded as a star, which can be regarded as the beginning of the star-making plan. We just build stars in batches. ”
"There are also some model stage plays in it, which can be rehearsed. In the future, those who are talented in screenwriting can arrange all kinds of stories by themselves. Stories such as those that depict the beauty, twists and turns of a love story, or heroic deeds are the ones that appeal to the public's appetite the most. ”
Yang Cheng said with a smile: "Especially the kind of sadomasochistic love story, it is easy to watch and makes people want to stop, and it is not impossible for thousands of people to come to watch the performance." ”
Candle Wuxian wrote it down carefully, wiped his sweat and said: "Brother Yang's words are really good, and he has benefited a lot, and he will call me more in the future." "Where would he have thought that Yang Cheng was just plagiarizing and copying, and he really thought that his mind was amazing.
