"The Mulberry Picking Girl" is a top-notch playbook that kept Wang Xinghua stuck for more than half a year.

Wang Xinghua's few literary pursuits in her life may have been all spent on this playbook. Now that the difficult situation is finally over, it's time to show the results to her boss.

On the way back, Wang Xinghua couldn't wait to sing a babbling song.

As the only daughter of a troupe leader, Wang Xinghua's singing skills are quite good. Although not as good as professional actors, she is definitely outstanding among ordinary people. The only problem is that her pronunciation is not very clear, which makes the already somewhat obscure lyrics more listenable.

don't know.

"It sounds good, but I don't quite understand it." After listening to Wang Xinghua's live singing, Jiang Qi spoke very honestly.

Wang Erya sat in the front row and nodded in agreement. Her reading comprehension level was even lower. Jiang Qi couldn't understand it well, and she couldn't understand it at all.

"Actually, it doesn't sound like this when you listen to it in its entirety." Wang Xinghua explained seriously, ""The Mulberry Picking Girl" is written very well and is not difficult to understand. The dialogues between the characters are still very simple and clear in vernacular, and the story

It is also very simple. It is the story of a mulberry picking girl who goes through hardships, grows up little by little, and finally becomes a wealthy businessman. The essence is that she is a heroine that everyone likes to see."

"You must have rehearsed privately quite a lot recently, right?" Jiang Qi asked.

Wang Xinghua's lyrics have been stuck for so long. Jiang Qi still has some understanding of how to write the lyrics of a good play. As the name suggests, the lyrics are sung first and then the lyrics. It is impossible for Wang Xinghua to write such original and non-plagiarized lyrics.

I locked myself in a room and immersed myself in writing, and the finished product came out. I needed Feng Ling to help me sing it again to see how it turned out.

Even "The Legend of the Princess" was completed in one go, but the final product was rehearsed and revised at the same time.

"I've been lining up." Wang Xinghua nodded, "Speaking of this, there is something I want to discuss with you, boss."

Jiang Qi looked at the driver in the row in front of him and asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

"The first performance of "The Mulberry Picking Girl" after the new year will not sell tickets, and it will be an internal audition."

"Of course." Jiang Qi agreed, "I remember that the first performance of "The Princess" was also an internal performance. At that time, it was treated as an employee benefit of the amusement park and everyone was arranged to go to the show."

"I'm afraid it can't be used as employee benefits at an amusement park."

Jiang Qi:?

"We met some colleagues during the tour, and these colleagues really wanted to see the premiere of "The Mulberry Picking Girl."

"Didn't you go on tour to a few cities in total?" He added money and counted on his fingers, and found that 10 fingers were more than enough. "I reckon you know 40 colleagues in one theater, and you designed the decoration of the theater now.

There are more than 500 seats not counting the private rooms, so I’ll buy some standing tickets to make sure I can fit in.”

Wang Xinghua shook her head: "I can't sit down."

Jiang Qi:???

Wang Xinghua started to count the number of people for Jiang Qi with her fingers: "Boss, think about it, this time we go on tour, the theaters outside have given us so much profit. We can't just invite our colleagues for the premiere of "The Mulberry Picking Girl", managers, supervisors

, you have to invite the boss or something, right?"

Jiang Qi nodded, it was all due to human nature.

"Actually, this time, not only my theater colleagues helped me write the script, but also their friends. I have to invite my friends, right?"

Jiang Qi continued to nod.

"And these colleagues and friends in the same industry are basically people in the industry. Nowadays, opera has changed from mainstream entertainment to niche entertainment. Those who can communicate with our theater troupe are somewhat famous. Many of them are teachers in colleges and universities like Yin Fei.

, he has a wide network of contacts and has many students under him.”

"Before I came back, someone quietly asked me on WeChat if I could help with the secret operation to get some tickets. He brought the students to our theater to see the world. With such a sincere attitude, the other party was also willing to help with publicity, and he had social status. This favor

Do you have to sell it?”

Jiang Qi thought it made sense and nodded.

"Others are in the same boat. They are all in this industry. Who doesn't have a few family members and friends who like opera? From last year to this year, "The Legend of the Princess" has gained both box office and reputation. These people are more or less out of the ordinary.

Powerful."

"Based on this calculation, almost all the tickets have been sold out."

"Not to mention the boxes upstairs. There are so many theater owners. One box for each owner is not excessive, right?"

""The Mulberry Picking Girl" is not like "The Legend of the Princess", which is suitable for all ages, but the audience of "The Mulberry Picking Girl" is relatively smaller. This year's opening drama is "The Mulberry Picking Girl".

If we still have a tour at the end of the year, then I will definitely do "Mother Picking Girl"."

"The reputation of this kind of literary film in the industry is very important. The word-of-mouth evaluation and promotion of these professionals and friends in the industry are just like Douban ratings and comments from film critics. It may seem useless, but in fact it is somewhat useful."

"If "The Mulberry Picking Girl" fails to do well at the box office by then, with unanimous praise from industry insiders, we can still gain a reputation of being a hit but not a box-office hit."

"So, there really aren't any extra tickets to give out for this premiere." Wang Xinghua concluded.

Jiang Qi:……

Why don't you hold a press conference here? How about I pay you to hire a few reporters to advertise.

Jiang Qi had already thought of the news headlines:

"The premiere of Mulberry Picking Girl, industry insiders gathered together and received rave reviews. This industry boss actually said this..."

In the silence, only Wang Erya joined in and praised: "Wow, sister Xinghua, you are so awesome! You can meet so many people in one trip!"

.

The driver of Bingbing B&B took Jiang Qi and his party to the entrance of the amusement park. Seeing that Wang Xinghua had many suitcases, the driver originally wanted to park the car at the entrance and help Wang Xinghua drag the two suitcases into the amusement park.

After seeing Wang Xinghua use incredible strength to hold an extra-large suitcase in one hand and lift the two suitcases at the same time to take them out of the trunk of the car, the driver stopped trying to help and watched with a smile.

Jiang Qi and his party entered the park and returned to the vicinity of the vocational high school to chat with their peers.

Since then, among the famous gossips in amusement parks, there has been another gossip that learning an art will help you find a job.

It’s not easy for young people to find a good job these days. You need to be able to socialize, organize, manage, write, and sing. It’s really not easy. It’s better to drive!

——by a driver who did not want to be named

As soon as Wang Xinghua entered the amusement park, she went straight to the decorated theater, stage, auditorium, and backstage without looking at anything, and focused on checking the ceiling of her room.

There is a buckle on the ceiling of Wang Xinghua's room that can be opened. It is a space that she specially left for herself to put snacks.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with her future snack cabinet, Wang Xinghua felt relieved and opened her suitcase to show everyone the gifts she had brought.

First up is the boxed duck blood vermicelli soup that everyone gets a portion of.

Wang Xinghua carried more than a dozen boxes of duck blood vermicelli soup on her back all the way to the tour. It was obvious that Jinling had indeed left a very deep impression on Wang Xinghua.

Individual gifts for each person are very interesting.

Lili’s gift is a Tang suit doll with a height of only 8 centimeters. In Wang Xinghua’s words, this is a doll given to Lili. With the size of this toy, it can indeed be used as a toy for Lili.

Wang Erya's gift was a set of review papers for the senior year of high school. It was said that she bought them at a bookstore in front of a famous key high school. Wang Erya liked it so much that she said she would definitely write it next year.

Huang Fugui's gift was an abacus. It looked old and heavy. I don't know where Wang Xinghua got it.

Old John's gift was a pointer. Jiang Qi didn't know if it hurt someone, but the sound made by hitting the table was quite loud. Old John liked it very much and said that he would give it a whip next time there was a student sleeping in the audience of the dwarf architecture class.

A pointer to wake up the sleepy students.

Jiang Cha’s gift is a set of skirts in various reds. Why is it called various reds? Because in Jiang Qi’s opinion, the color of this skirt is a palette full of red paint. From light to dark.

All red.

But Jiang Cha likes it very much and basically gives Jiang Cha clothes, as long as they are not green, she likes them.

Lillian's gift was very plain and simple, a cornucopia of treasures.

Principal Page's gift was more plain and simple, a money tree.

Teacher Zero’s gift is the same as above, a lucky cat.

As for Jiang Qi and Kua Kua...

Their gifts were the same. Before going on tour, Wang Xinghua asked Kua Kua to borrow some magic bags specially used to preserve food. She had to pack two copies of whatever she ate along the way, one for Jiang Qi and one for Jiang Qi.

Give me a compliment.

Leaving a portion for Jiang Qi represents her heartfelt respect and love for her boss. No matter what she eats, she will never forget to bring a portion to her boss.

Save one portion for Kua Kua because Kua Kua is trained by a famous chef and has good cooking skills and a strong learning ability. If you are lucky, you will be able to cook it after taking two more bites.

Regarding the gifts Wang Xinghua prepared for everyone, Jiang Qi could only sum it up in one sentence.

The value is not high and it takes a lot of work.

She knows how to give gifts.

Wang Xinghua's early return did not bring much difference to the amusement park.

Who said the troupe didn't come back? It would be useless for her as a troupe manager to come back. At most, she could start a publicity plan in advance.

Wang Xinghua doesn’t have to worry about customizing the surrounding items.

"The Mulberry Picking Girl" is a new drama that has been confirmed to be performed more than half a year ago. As early as half a year ago, the theater contacted the factory that has business dealings with the amusement park to customize various peripherals.

Some of the peripherals have long been lying in warehouses far away from the amusement park, gathering dust. If Wang Xinghua hadn’t taken advantage of the tour and finished writing the lyrics of "Mulberry Picking Girl" with the help of industry insiders, this batch of peripherals would have become the biggest since Wang Xinghua took office.

Wrong decision-making.

The peripherals have been ordered, but the show can't be shown. Isn't this money wasted?
