What should a high-end private room in an antique theater look like?

Magnificent?

Carved beams and painted buildings?

Bei Quezhu Palace?

Or is it a carved jade brick?

neither.

In Jiang Qi's opinion, the newly renovated second-floor box of the theater is most appropriately described as gold and jade on the outside and crumbling on the inside.

The decoration of the private room looks very intimidating at first glance. There is no trace of modern technology. It seems that everything is carefully crafted by craftsmen.

All furniture decorations are made of wood, with carved window frames, carved door edges, and even carved table legs, in sharp contrast to the simple Eight Immortals table in the lobby on the first floor.

Coupled with the numerous knitted decorations scattered throughout the private room, but not crowded, and the charming-looking ink paintings hanging on the wall, the entire private room looks very high-end, and it would be a shame if it didn't sell for four figures.

furnish.

Only Jiang Qi, who has seen the total renovation costs of a dozen private rooms on the second floor, understands what it means to use the worst wood to carve the most beautiful flowers.

Jiang Xiaoliang has been in the wood business for nearly 20 years. He knows best what kind of wood is expensive and durable, what kind of wood is the most cost-effective, and what kind of wood is cheap and not durable but looks intimidating.

The decoration in the boxes on the second floor of the theater looks very good now, but with the current decoration materials, these inferior wood will start to rot in a year or two, and all the money spent on the previous decoration will be wasted.

Hu Qingdu secretly wondered in his heart whether Jiang Qi knew very well that the theater would not last long in the amusement park, so he deliberately used such bad materials to decorate it, and stopped the theater once the renovation was completed to stop the loss in time.

In fact, Jiang Qi was willing to use such rotten wood entirely because there was Wang Xinghua in the theater.

Under Wang Xinghua's maintenance, the original lifespan of wood may only be one or two years, and it is not a problem to multiply it by ten or twenty times, and all Jiang Qi has to pay is only 1,000 yuan a month in maintenance fees.

Jiang Qi received the cheap decoration, and Wang Xinghua received the fixed maintenance fee. Only Hu Qing scratched a few hairs while speculating on the boss's intention of decorating like this, and whether he should regard the theater as the key business project of the amusement park in the future.

Only Hu Qing’s hair-injured world was achieved.

.

March 31st, the last day of March, is destined to be a special day for all members of the theater troupe.

After a full month of running-in and rehearsals, the theater troupe led by Feng Ling successfully arranged 3 major plays and 7 small plays. This marks that the theater troupe, which has been quietly promoting in Taiping Town for a period of time, can finally be officially launched in Taiping Town.

The town will receive an epic version update, removing 2 non-resident NPCs (the original roles of Feng Ling and Wang Xinghua), adding 27 permanent NPCs and a new map theater.

This Taiping Town version update will be the biggest change since the amusement park opened.

After several days of discussions and meetings between the Logistics Department, Propaganda Department, Planning Department and the newly established opera department, Hu Qing finally finalized the plan and submitted it to Jiang Qi. After Jiang Qi agreed, it was determined that the theater would go online on April 7.

.

Before the theater is officially launched, Jiang Qi hopes that the theater troupe will perform an internal performance first.

"In-house performance?" Feng Ling, who was still wearing a costume and no makeup and simply putting her hair up, after a brief moment of confusion, readily agreed to Jiang Qi's proposal without even asking in depth.

"When will it be set?"

Jiang Qi glanced at the calendar on his phone, then looked up at the opera actors on the stage directly behind him who were practicing their moves: "Today is the 4th, and the first performance in the theater was originally scheduled to be at 6pm on April 7th.

In this case, the internal performance will be scheduled for the 6th."

"You will sing small operas in the afternoon and big operas in the evening. It will be the same as after the theater officially opens. Just treat it as a trial performance. Is that okay?"

Feng Ling nodded: "Of course there is no problem, but if we start singing in the afternoon, who will come to watch?"

Amusement park employees have to work during the day.

When Feng Ling heard Jiang Qi talk about the internal performance at first, he thought it was a performance after the amusement park closed.

Jiang Qi smiled and said: "Who said that internal performances must be attended by amusement park employees? Don't we have many non-staff employees here?"

Feng Ling is a quick-thinking person, and he immediately reacted when Jiang Qi said this: "Has the snow village been built?"

"No, but it will be soon."

It is now April 3rd, and the work on the Xuecun side started on December 20th. Although the construction site only had two days off during the entire New Year period, no matter how fast the construction period at Shen Liang's side was, it would not be possible to complete the huge project in just three months.

The snow village is built.

If it was really built so quickly, Jiang Qi would not worry, fearing that it would be a shoddy project.

In Xuecun, construction and decoration are combined. Yin Lin divided the various buildings in Xuecun into batches. Shen Liang's engineering team built the buildings in batches. After a batch of construction was completed, Boss Shen's decoration team moved in and started decoration.

Nowadays, the decoration team and the engineering team are working at the same time, and the number of workers in Xuecun is quite considerable.

"The construction period is progressing so smoothly, so of course I have to find an opportunity to reward the two bosses Shen. I have already asked boss Shen and the others that it will not affect the workers if they give them half a day off and come to the amusement park to experience the theater that has not yet opened.

Everyone was very happy with the overall construction period.”

"The theater has been rehearsing these days and has not had any serious formal performances. I just want to take this opportunity to see the effect."

Feng Ling still had no objection and agreed readily: "No problem, we have arranged a total of 7 short plays here, the short ones are 20 minutes and the long ones are more than 40 minutes. I will make a list of the small plays for you. You want to perform them

Which of the major dramas are I starring in and I can only act in one scene? Do you prefer "The Match" or "Meng Lijun"?"

"Can't you play "The Legend of the Princess"?" Jiang Qi said that what he really wanted to watch was the vulgar drama produced by Wang Xinghua.

Wang Xinghua has not been idle this month. She can get points from various part-time jobs. Lili and Lillian, who took over the part-time jobs given by Wang Xinghua, earn a lot of money.

Wang Xinghua, who had completely freed up time, spent all her time and energy on expressing her talent - writing play scripts.

For a normal third-rate literati, it would take several months to write a decent original script. Wang Xinghua only needs a month, not because she is a ghost who is tireless and does not need to rest. No matter how tireless she is, she only has 24 a day.

hours, it is impossible to have twice as many hours as others, 48 ​​hours.

Wang Xinghua was able to write so quickly, with such a high level of completion, and so well, and she was able to complete the writing, rehearsals, and scores within a month, all because this script is not original.

This new play "The Legend of the Princess", which was based on the most popular play of the Feng Family Troupe to which Feng Ling originally belonged, was modified by Jiang Qi and revised by Wang Xinghua herself. It is a pure adaptation.

Only some rebirth plots have been added to enhance the sense of mindless fun, and even the lyrics and vocals have not been changed much. If the original author knew someone underground in a different world, he would probably ask Wang Xinghua to burn the copyright fees to him.

Wang Xinghua, a third-rate literati, said that there is no faster way to create in the world than plagiarism.

""The Legend of the Princess"?" Feng Ling was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Qi to like watching this.

Wang Xinghua did not tell Feng Ling that Jiang Qi proposed the revision of "The Legend of the Princess". Feng Ling still thought that Wang Xinghua would change the plot of "The Legend of the Princess" to this, entirely because she had read too many novels during this period.

.

"The other two are both classics. I have watched the full version online. Anyway, this is a trial performance, so we don't need to pay too much attention to it. I will take Erya from school for this internal performance. Erya

I’m also looking forward to the troupe’s new plays, I have to let her watch something new.”

What Jiang Qi said made sense to Feng Ling: "Okay, let's just do The Legend of the Princess."

As he said that, Feng Ling turned around suddenly, as if there were eyes on the back of his head, and said loudly: "Wrong."

The actors on the stage shuddered and were stunned for a moment and slowed down for half a beat.

"The tone is wrong." Feng Ling continued.

Leader Feng quickly stepped forward to give instructions.

Jiang Qi looked at the troupe members who were perhaps a bit older than Feng Ling, but were managed obediently by Feng Ling, and had to sigh in his heart that Wang Xinghua still had some talent for picking people.

After the previous interview, Jiang Qi took a few resumes that had been performed earlier, but still had an x ​​with a red circle on them, and asked Wang Xinghua if they had any questions, Wang Xinghua's answer was that she was not convinced.

Being capable and refusing to obey may be called arrogance, but this arrogance is a big x for Wang Xinghua and Feng Ling.

Before surpassing Feng Ling in ability, Feng Ling was the only main pillar in the theater. Feng Ling and Wang Xinghua both shouldered the heavy responsibility of making the theater profitable, and did not have so much leisure and elegance to deal with other than rehearsing.

external things.

If Feng Ling hadn't participated in the fixed small opera performances in the afternoon and only sang in the big operas in the evening, the theater troupe could have lowered the singing level threshold for recruiting opera actors.

"Has it been agreed on how to sell tickets?" Jiang Qi asked.

"It's agreed." Feng Ling didn't find it strange that Jiang Qi didn't know the specific policy for selling tickets. Unless Jiang Qi was particularly concerned about it, he would only look at the results when making decisions. Who calls him the boss?

"We sell tea tickets in the afternoon and theater tickets in the evening."

"A pot of tea costs 5 cents, and you can watch two shows. Children are not charged for tea. However, the boxes for the afternoon show are not open, and the VIP seats in the front row have been cancelled, and they are all ordinary seats." Feng Ling pointed to the back row.

"Xinghua still had the idea to add a narrow and tall flat stool as a small table between the two ordinary seats."

"The special opening discount for theater tickets in the evening is only 2 cents for ordinary seats. After a week, it will return to the original price of 4 cents. The price of VIP seats will be doubled. The price of the private rooms upstairs is one tael cheaper and more expensive 2 taels. Tea and snacks are extra."

"Isn't the private room a bit too expensive?" Jiang Qi looked up at the private room. A private room costs one to two thousand yuan, so there probably aren't many people who would be willing to book it.

"The private room can accommodate several people, and you can also add chairs and seats. It is a large space that is not noisy and comfortable. The price is actually quite cheap, because the exchange ratio between copper coins, silver and gold in our amusement park is very outrageous, so gold is actually not worth it at all.

Money not worth gold."

Jiang Qi:……

"Xinghua and I checked online. VIP tickets in many theaters cost five to six hundred. Our entire box only costs one or two thousand, which is already very cheap."

Jiang Qi was instantly convinced.

"Very good." Jiang Qi couldn't help but nodded, looked at the stage, looked at the audience, looked at the newly made costumes everyone was wearing, looked at the employees who were actively rehearsing without taking any chances, and felt very

OK, no problem.

Jiang Qi turned around and prepared to go back.
