Chapter 462 Tips for getting rich(1/2)
"The Legend of the Princess" is a hit in Shanghai.
It's a real hit.
The venue was sold out and it was hard to find a ticket. Feng Ling's signed poster even fetched a high price on Xianyu.
The number of signed posters sent out by Fangyuan Theater is actually not too many. Except for the first performance in Theater 1, which was signed in person, all subsequent performances were drawn through blind boxes.
Everyone has a poster, but it’s not certain whose signature it belongs to.
But a signed poster that was given free of charge could be put on a second-hand trading platform and sold at a high price, which Jiang Qi and Wang Xinghua did not expect.
It’s also very expensive. A poster sells for 100~300. You must know that the cheapest ticket for "The Legend of the Princess" is only 390. If you have the money to buy a signed poster, if you add 90 yuan to grab a ticket, you can go to the Fangyuan Theater.
Watching "The Princess".
If you're lucky, you can get Feng Ling's signed poster directly from the blind box.
At present, although "The Legend of the Princess" is so popular that it is difficult to get a ticket, but if you really want to grab it, it is relatively easy to grab a 390 yuan ticket that is not in a good location when you are squatting.
If the theater really wants to crack down on scalpers, there are 10,000 ways to prevent scalpers from buying a ticket.
Purchasing tickets under your real name is the easiest way.
Wang Xinghua was furious when she saw that people actually bought these posters. She immediately released 2,000 posters for RMB 30 on a second-hand platform to disrupt the market. As a result, she unexpectedly made a small fortune.
It’s not clear whether the posters sold by others are real ones from Jiang Qi, but the ones sold by Wang Xinghua must be fake.
They were all signed by Wang Xinghua herself, and Feng Ling had never touched them.
Ignoring these trivial episodes that made Wang Xinghua a small fortune, "The Legend of the Princess" is definitely one of the most popular operas in Shanghai in recent years.
Jiang Qi has signed several supplementary contracts with Fangyuan Theater.
The initial contract signed was for performances from November 19th to November 28th, which was only 10 days, but it spanned two weeks because it included two weekends.
Just 10 days was certainly not enough. After the first show at Theater No. 1 was sold out, Ge Hong quickly drafted a new contract, added an extra show, and extended the performance to December 5th.
7 games, 2667 tickets for each game, 18,000 viewers, still all sold out.
If this progress continues, even if there are 7 more shows of "The Princess", the tickets will probably be sold out.
This terrifying level of popularity shocked Ge Hong, a wealthy capitalist who didn't expect to make much money and just wanted to earn face for himself.
Wang Xinghua stayed in the lounge every day and clicked on the calculator, until sparks almost came out.
Once Jiang Qi heard Manager Zhu chatting with the manager of an unknown department in the toilet. Manager Zhu lamented that Feng Ling really taught all the actors and staff of the Fangyuan Theater a lesson, letting them know what the real Boss Feng is.
.
In the past, famous opera actors were called bosses because they were not only the pillars, but also the guarantee of the entire opera troupe.
The theater troupe relies on ticket sales. Whoever sells tickets has their name written on the ticket and poster. The audience only buys tickets based on their name, and nothing else works.
If one person supports the entire troupe, he is called a boss.
Feng Ling can now support the Fangyuan Theater, let alone an entire theater troupe.
When Ge Hong saw the financial statements in his office, he was so shocked that he was speechless for several minutes.
"The Princess" currently sells 2 million tickets per show.
Including extra performances, Theater 1 has a total of 11 performances, which is 22 million.
Ge Hong is not short of money, but it does not mean that he is a fool. Money falling from the sky should be cherished and received.
The cost of performing in Theater No. 1 is high, but this high cost is based on the fact that Theater No. 1 is not used much.
Theater No. 1 performed 11 consecutive performances, and the cost of use and equipment maintenance was averaged to a terrifyingly low number.
For a time, Modu didn't know how many theater owners were so jealous that they hated themselves for not discovering the treasure opera "The Legend of the Princess" in advance and not recognizing the dusty pearl of Boss Feng.
Alas, such an excellent opera actor condescended to sing in a small amusement park in a small place. What an indignity of talent!
Why is the owner of this amusement park so lucky?
Of course, if Jiang Qi knew the inner thoughts of the previous theater owner, he would probably sigh three times in a row.
You are just a small amusement park, your whole family is a small amusement park!
Our Galaxy Script Theme Park covers a large area! There are two haunted houses alone!
Do you understand amusement parks? You theater owners!
No matter what other people think, no matter how popular the show is, it will end one day.
On December 5, after the last performance of "The Princess" at the Fangyuan Theater, Feng Ling took the initiative to ask for another fan signing event, and once again signed posters for the entire audience one by one.
Audiences who were able to buy tickets for the last show either jumped in and actively grabbed tickets after "The Princess" became a hit on social platforms, or they were buying tickets from the beginning and stayed there as long as they could buy them.
.
For those who join in the fun and follow the trend, it is already difficult to get tickets at this time.
The common characteristic of these audiences is that they are rich.
Are tickets for "The Princess" expensive?
To be fair, as a theater ticket, the ticket for "The Princess" is simply expensive, more expensive than most drama and musical tickets at the Square Theater.
However, "The Princess" is performed in Theater No. 1. The size of the theater determines the ticket price. Tickets for performances in Theater No. 1 of the Fangyuan Theater are based on the standard of only one performance.
Before the theater tickets were actually sold out, who would have thought that an opera could actually sell more than 2,600 tickets for 11 days in a row?
For these audiences who are willing to watch one show after another, the ticket price is not a problem at all. Let alone two shows, they are willing to buy tickets even if there are 10 more performances.
"Little Bailing, is today really the last performance? Can't there be a few more performances?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In front of the assembly line autograph table, a young girl who looked rich at first glance, with brand names all over her body and a customized light sign from Little Bailing in her hand, looked pitifully.
Feng Ling.
Ge Hong stood behind the autograph assembly line, shouting crazily in his heart: Pretty girl, work harder, make your voice more pitiful, and your expression more aggrieved. A person as kind and kind as Boss Feng will definitely consider adding a few more games!
Feng Ling smiled and quickly signed his name on the poster: "I'm afraid not. I'm a little tired after performing for so many days."
Signed poster, next one.
The girl grabbed the poster and left, and the uncle behind her quickly said: "Xiao Bailing, we understand, take a good rest when you are tired, and don't make it difficult for yourself. I have plenty of time since I retired, and I will follow you wherever you go to perform!"
The girl who had already walked to Feng Qinghua and sat down to wait for Feng Qinghua's signature also said loudly: "Xiao Bailing, I can understand you. You should have a good rest and don't be tired! I don't have to go to work, I can also follow you!"
Feng Qinghua:......
Girl, do you really want my autograph?
At this moment, the person signing in front of Feng Ling has changed to the third office worker. The office worker took the time and said: "Xiao Bailing, when I have a holiday, I will support you too."
Feng Ling smiled and said, "Thank you. I usually sing at the Galaxy Script Theme Park in Xuncheng. You are welcome to come and play at the amusement park in the future."
Although when Feng Ling said the second half of this sentence, the office workers had already grabbed the poster and left, but this did not stop the office workers from being ecstatic.
Little Bailing said a lot to him, and she even invited her to play in the amusement park!
Xiao Bailing sincerely invited me to go to the amusement park to relax. He must have said this because he saw the dark circles under his eyes, and wanted to let him have a relaxing vacation during his break. She really cares about her fans!
With the fans' understanding and little regret, "The Legend of the Princess" ended its performance in Shanghai.
Of course, the end of the performance does not mean that Feng Ling and the others will return to Xuncheng immediately. Under Ge Hong's warm invitation, the troupe planned to stay in the magic city for two more days to have a good rest, and hold a celebration banquet two days later.
Return to Xuncheng.
Everyone in the troupe really needs a good rest.
Feng Ling told the audience that he was too tired from performing for so many days and could not continue the performance. It was actually an excuse, but it was not entirely an excuse.
One performance per day is not considered high intensity for the troupe.
When she was at the amusement park, Feng Ling would play one theater a day, and some of the other members might even perform twice a day - some of the actors who played supporting roles in the evening drama would play the leading role in the afternoon show.
But performing in an amusement park is different from performing in a square theater.
The stage in the amusement park is not big, the audience is relatively small, the tickets are cheap, and the tea tickets for the afternoon show are so cheap that they are almost equivalent to forfeiting the ticket price.
Everyone's mentality is very good when performing in an amusement park.
As long as the audience is willing to watch, the actors feel a sense of accomplishment.
But it's different in the Square Theater.
Theater tickets cost several hundred yuan, and were even as expensive as 1,600 yuan each, which put tremendous pressure on all the actors except Feng Ling.
Everyone is very afraid of failing in their performance. When they go on stage, the strings in their minds are tense every minute and every second, and their spirits are highly tense. They are afraid that they will make a wrong move or sing a wrong line.
Even if everyone knows very well that the audience is not here to see them, they still feel nervous.
Everyone likes flowers, applause, cheers and the love of the audience, but the pressure behind these things is really too much.
A total of 17 performances, especially the 11 performances at Theater No. 1, left every actor in the troupe breathless.
There is no buff in the Fangyuan Theater. For everyone in the troupe, not having the buff overtime means that the state is not good. The state was very good when performing in the amusement park, but the state was not good when performing in the Fangyuan Theater. Everyone wanted to adjust to a good state. , but the state in its heyday was not so easy to adjust.
The more you adjust, the more nervous you become, and the more nervous you are, the worse your state becomes. This is simply a vicious cycle with no solution.
If the string is stretched too tight for a long time, something will happen.
