"Excuse me, the theater in town officially opens today! Regular theater tickets are half price for the first three days of the opening, and you can enjoy free tea in the private rooms."

In Taiping Town, a child who was not yet old enough to enter elementary school and had skipped kindergarten for a day was wandering around Taiping Town holding what appeared to be hand-drawn but actually photocopied theater flyers borrowed from an employee’s house.

Grandma Qisi is taking her fans to visit Taiping Town.

"Kid, can you give me a picture of this?" Grandma Qisi stopped the child who was promoting it.

When the child saw that there were several people around Grandma Qisi, he gave her a few more tickets, and then ran away happily.

Grandma Qisi started to read the contents on the flyer.

This flyer was not made by an employee of the amusement park's design and publicity department, but was designed by Wang Xinghua herself. They were all designed by herself. In fact, they were copied from the flyers originally distributed by Wang's class.

Wang Xinghua thought she was good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, her calligraphy was okay, and her painting was no problem, so she simplified the original leaflet and added a few things.

The flyer shows a static picture of Feng Ling leaning sideways, raising her head and stretching out her hands to sing. The drawing is not very similar. Only those who are familiar with Feng Ling can tell that the picture is of Feng Ling.

Next to Feng Ling's portrait are several large characters written vertically: Every day at Unity time, Bai Ling starts singing.

Originally, the theater scheduled the opera to start at 6:00 pm every night, but through yesterday's internal performance, Jiang Qi and others found that starting at 6 pm is still a bit too late. The amusement park is not like a serious theater, 8:00 pm

30Normal theaters are usually still performing shows, but the amusement park is closed by that time.

A big play usually lasts about two hours. If it starts at 6 o'clock, it will not end until 8 o'clock. In addition, the audience will leave the stage. If Feng Ling and others become popular, there may be time for the audience to ask for autographs and photos, etc.

The amusement park will be closed to clear out crowds, and not all audiences in the theater may be able to leave.

So after discussion, we decided to set the time for the big show to start at five o'clock in the evening, and skip the small plays in the afternoon.

In the words of Wang Xinghua, a ruthless opera lover, the singing of small operas is just that, and it has no value in watching.

Grandma Qisi stood in Taiping Town and carefully read the details on the flyer. The one she had the best relationship with answered the phone last night and packed her luggage. Grandma Zhang, who asked her children to send her to rent a house near the vocational high school early this morning, also

Come up.

"Is the little girl painted here the one who sang particularly well in the opera you mentioned on the phone last night?" Grandma Zhang asked.

"It's a bit similar, maybe." Grandma Qisi put away the flyer, carefully folded it in half and slowly put it into the small bag she carried with her, "Little Bailing."

"Although I only heard one part of the female voice last night, that little girl's singing was indeed as beautiful as the singing of a lark."

"Oh, is that the window selling theater tickets in front of me? I have to go and have a look!" An old man who was with Grandma Qisi saw the ticket selling window and hurriedly walked over to watch the excitement.

Grandma Qisi is quite influential in the circle of theater friends to which he belongs.

First of all, her son is very rich.

Although everyone is rich, the Qi family is considered to be the richest in their circle of rich people. After all, Qi Si's own father is a banker, and besides the bank, the family also has a lot of strange things.

The industrial and economic strength is quite strong.

Secondly, she is professional.

Grandma Qisi's profession is not limited to her being a professional opera lover. She was an opera actress when she was young, and she has been on stage and sung operas for a long time. However, her singing skills were average, and she left the stage after getting married and giving birth to children.

Got a clerical job.

But as a former professional opera actress, Grandma Qisi became the most authoritative person among her group of opera friends.

Everyone believed in her taste and believed that the young man who could wow her with praise must be a new talent in the opera world. It was precisely because of this that Grandma Qisi was able to call fifteen people who were retired at home like her.

An old man and an old woman with spare money took a bus from the next city over early in the morning to rent a house and watch a movie.

Jiang Bing was shocked when she received these dozen old men and women this morning. When Jiang Qi told her last night, he didn't tell her that there would be so many elderly people renting houses (in fact, Jiang Qi himself didn't expect it).

Jiang Bing thought that these old men and women were not the same people as the ones Jiang Qi talked about on the phone last night.

She thought that this group of people had formed a group to rent a house for her grandchildren who were taking the postgraduate entrance exams. She even posted a post on WeChat Moments lamenting that the postgraduate entrance exams these days are so difficult that even grandparents have to take the exams together.

There were already many people gathered in front of the window selling theater tickets.

After simple decoration, the window selling theater tickets looks very simple and formal. The original glass windows were changed into simple small windows made of paper, the walls were repainted, and hand-painted posters were pasted on the windows.

There was also a hand-painted standing sign with the calligraphy on it written by Wang Xinghua and the price of the theater tickets.

The onlookers were basically young people watching the excitement. After all, young people were the most popular in the amusement park at this time.

Elderly people like Grandma Qisi are indeed free, but who has nothing to do but organize a group to visit an amusement park by themselves?

Normal old ladies usually visit parks and supermarkets.

"How is it? How is it? Have you asked clearly? What is that tea ticket?" A man wearing long rabbit ears of the same style as the big rabbit bought from the toy store, with colorful ropes tied on his hands, drank his wine.

The grass juice, even the shoulder bag hanging on the elbow was a senior female college student visitor to the amusement park around the princess, and she couldn't wait to ask her friends who went to the window to inquire.

"After asking clearly, they said that there are big plays in the evening and small plays in the afternoon. Because the small plays are short, they don't sell theater tickets, only tea tickets."

"There are three small plays every afternoon, starting at 2:00, 3:00, and 4:00. You can go in and listen to the play when it starts."

"A tea ticket allows one person to listen to a short play. A tea ticket costs 4 copper coins, and you can choose black tea, green tea, lemon green tea and lemon black tea. If you want to continue listening to a short play but don't want to drink tea, add

For a copper you can continue to the next show."

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It doesn't sound expensive." The girl said thoughtfully, "A pot of tea should be quite a lot. A pot of lemon black tea costs 20 yuan.

I can sit and listen to the show, which feels good."

"The place where we listen to the opera won't be very simple, right? There will be just a few small plastic benches for us to sit there, right?"

"There is a theater!" my companion said excitedly, "It seems to be a newly opened place. It is outside Taiping Town. The ticket seller told me that there are road signs along the way."

"Let's go and have a look. Maybe we can trigger a hidden mission! I read in the book that many people who came to the amusement park a few days ago noticed that the NPC in the town said that a new troupe had recently arrived in Taiping Town.

, this might be a new map and a new plot. I thought they were previews in advance. No matter what, I have to wait until next month for the update. I thought about telling you that we should come later and come back next month, but I didn’t expect that we would catch up.

Got it!"

"Okay!" The girl was extremely happy, "I'm going to buy tea tickets, what do you want to drink?"

"lemon Red tea!"

A group of old men and women just stood by and watched two young girls excitedly buy tea tickets and then start looking for the theater. They didn't ask for directions and had to find it on their own. They felt that young people these days are really incomprehensible.

"It's quite cheap." Grandma Zhang exclaimed, "A pot of tea costs 20 yuan and comes with a play. For the plays we usually watch, a ticket for the first three rows costs 500 to 600 yuan."

"Oh, that's because the little girl I told you about won't be on stage in the afternoon, and the other actors in this troupe are of average quality. I also watched the afternoon show yesterday, which is something we don't usually watch."

Grandma Qisi explained with a smile.

Hearing what she said, Mr. Yang, who was traveling with him, began to worry: "There is only one little girl who can sing well, and the rest are not very good, so this troupe is not very good either."

Grandma Qisi smiled mysteriously: "You will know after you watch tonight's show."

"When the protagonist is good enough, everyone else is a supporting role and not important."

Although Grandma Qi Si said that the performances in the afternoon show were generally not interesting, she still followed a few old friends who were also interested in the afternoon show to the theater honestly.

I met Jiang Qi, who was sitting in a corner seat on the first floor of the theater, worrying about the attendance rate at night.

In fact, the ticket sales in the afternoon were very good.

Buy tea and watch a movie for free. For 20 yuan, you can drink a pot of tea and sit in the theater for half an hour. Many tourists who have no interest in watching a movie actually think that the price is relatively affordable and want to come and join in the fun.

I bought it casually.

The attendance rate for the 2 o'clock show is almost 80%. You must know that the afternoon show has many more seats than the evening show. If the evening show can sell as many tickets as the 2 o'clock show, a lot of standing tickets will have to be sold.

However, everyone really just came here to drink tea and watch a show.

How convenient is that?

People were chatting, people were playing on their mobile phones, and there were people playing Honor of Kings with their legs crossed facing the stage. There were basically no people who were really interested in the content on stage.

Because there are basically no people coming to listen to the show, there is no one who affects who. No matter whether they are chatting, watching TV, or playing games, the sounds they make are very small. People watching TV wear headphones, so you can’t

Said they affected other people's viewing of the theatre.

I can only say that it may have affected the mentality of the actors on stage to some extent.

At this moment Jiang Qi finally understood why Wang Xinghua said that recruitment mentality is very important.

This person has a bad mentality. When he got on stage, he found that no one in the audience was watching the show, so he collapsed on the spot and turned the show into rubbish.

But the good news is that because no one is listening to the play, no one can tell if you mess up the performance.

The afternoon session is inherently unprofitable.

In the normal planning of the theater, Wang Xinghua did not expect to make money in the afternoon show. The reason why she sold tea tickets instead of theater tickets in the afternoon show was that the actors in the afternoon show were not very good, and the other reason was that she was in a

This is what many theater troupes did in that era.

Tea tickets sell popularity, but they also provide opportunities for actors who are not that good at singing to perform on stage.

A big drama, except for "The Legend of the Princess", which has a lot of actors and is a cool drama where you kill monsters and kill bosses all the way, a normal drama can't have so many actors with lyrics, and most people just come out to say a few words and sing.

There may not even be many background panels that leave the scene in just two sentences.

Opera actors, if you practice 50 times in private in the courtyard, it's still not as good as singing a verse on stage.

The aura and typhoon must be practiced on a real stage.

Wang Xinghua doesn't know how to run a theater troupe, but her father Wang, the director, does. She just needs to slightly modify and copy what his father did back then, and she will be a pretty good theater manager.

In the provincial capital, Hongjiao relied on deceit, deceit, and various unfair means to suppress her peers and her own opera troupe. Later, she successfully married a rich man as a concubine.
