Compared with other provinces, Henan Province has a very strong theater atmosphere, and the number of theater fans is terrifying. More than half of the Feng Ling fan support group developed by Wang Pingxiu are theater fans from Henan Province.

If there is a market and an audience, the development of opera will naturally flourish.

Not only are there great shows in the countryside during temple fairs, but the theater business in the city is also easy to do. The unit price of tickets is naturally not as good as the Fangyuan Theater in Shanghai, but the profit is actually not lower than that of the Fangyuan Theater.

Last year, the troupe's tour time was limited and they only visited one city in each province. In Henan Province, they only went to Shangdu.

There is plenty of time this year, and three cities have been allocated to Henan Province, and Shangdu is the second one.

It is impossible to go on tour without a break. Even if most of the members of the troupe can tolerate it, Feng Ling's voice can't bear it. Basically, they sing one week and take a week off, or sing one week and take half a week off, alternating.

Now is the rest period.

Wang Pingxiu and others came directly by bus, and Jiang Qi also took the bus to the hotel.

As soon as he got on the bus, Jiang Qi asked: "How are the tickets sold in Shangdu?"

Jiang Qi had some impressions of this theater in Shangdu. It was very large and had a thousand-person theater just like the Fangyuan Theater.

In fact, there are many theaters with a capacity of 1,000 people. Why was Jiang Qi so impressed by this theater in Shangdu?

Because this theater is jammed.

Like the Fangyuan Theater, because tickets are really expensive, the theater is never full for the sake of the audience's viewing experience.

Those locations where the viewing experience is very poor do not allow takeaway tickets, and are only distributed to theater employees as employee benefits.

This is also the case in most other theaters. After all, no matter how big the stage is, there are only so many actors. You may only be able to see half of the actors' faces in the corners of some levels. Spending money to sit in such a place is really not a good experience.

It turned out that this theater in Shangdu was different.

It not only sells seated tickets, but also standing tickets.

What he sells is not just ordinary standing tickets, some are inside the ticketing station and some are outside the ticketing station.

Jiang Qi was shocked when he found out about it last year. He thought it was even more outrageous than registering a ticket.

At first he thought the theater was doing whatever it took to make money, but after learning more about it, he discovered that this was actually what some of the audience had requested.

Tickets for this big theater in Shangdu are not expensive. When "The Legend of the Princess" was on tour last year, the tickets for the Fangyuan Theater sold for thousands. The most expensive seats in Shangdu only cost more than 400.

The ticket price is not exaggerated, so some viewers who are not that wealthy can bite the bullet and buy a few more tickets to watch it again and again.

There are many audiences here in Shangdu, and the thousand-seat theater of the theater is not as big as the thousand-seat theater of Fangyuan Theatre. In addition, there are theatergoers coming from other places to grab tickets, which makes it very difficult to get tickets.

Because it was difficult to grab, the theater simply opened up all the seats. Particularly bad seats were sold at low prices, 50 yuan a ticket.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The results are not enough.

Some old customers asked to buy standing tickets.

Stand in the open space in the last row and watch from the aisles on both sides.

This proposal itself was already outrageous, but it turned out that the theater’s owner, Liu, was also a genius.

Boss Liu loves to go to the theater, and he has watched theater with his grandparents since he was a child. When he was a child, Boss Liu often stood in the crowd with his grandparents to watch, so he thought it was normal for people to stand and watch, so he nodded in agreement.

.

Anyway, the theater doesn't charge too much. A standing ticket costs 20 yuan. If you can't buy it, you will suffer a loss and you won't be fooled.

The results are not enough.

After all, how many people can stand in the station? The open space and aisles are so big, and you can't block the view of the seated audience.

Then there are more talented old audience members who creatively bribe the theater staff to ask them not to close the door so tightly and stand outside to listen.

This time I was really listening to a play, the kind where I couldn't even see any of the actors.

Under normal circumstances, you can basically hear nothing in this way of listening.

The Thousand People Theater itself is already very large, and even if the door is not closed tightly, it is soundproofed. When singing, the actors do not bring microphones. It all relies on their voices. If an actor with less skill comes on stage and opens his mouth, people in the last few rows may not be able to hear it.

To the sound.

Feng Ling happens to be one of those actors with very good skills.

She was singing on stage, and standing outside the door, you could really hear her voice.

The audience outside the station all brought their own small benches and placed them against the door and wall. Occasionally they would be happy to hear a voice, and they would exclaim to each other that they are really good actors and have great voices, and they were very happy.

Boss Liu was confused by this group of old viewers, who didn't know what they were enjoying.

But the audience is happy, and as long as it doesn't affect the normal performance, Boss Liu doesn't have any objections. If you like to squat at the door, just squat at the door, and you won't be charged.

Jiang Qi remembers that during the last few performances of "The Legend of the Princess", some audience members suggested to Boss Liu that the seats in the Thousand-seat Grand Theater were too big and that they should all be replaced with small benches so that more people could be crammed in.

people.

Faced with this extremely outrageous opinion, Boss Liu, who had always been resigned to it, did not agree. The reason why he disagreed was not because he also thought the opinion was outrageous, but because it was difficult to change.

There aren't that many benches in the theater either.

All of the above made Jiang Qi have a very deep impression on Boss Liu and this magical theater under his control.

Faced with Jiang Qi's question, Wang Pingxiu said: "The sales are very good. All the seated tickets for the seven games a week are sold out, and the standing tickets are also sold out."

"There are many fans here in Shangdu. I asked for 1,000 tickets from Boss Liu in the name of fan group buying and distributed them to the fans in the fan group. Everyone was very happy."

Speaking of this, Wang Pingxiu was really happy: "Boss, before I came here, I really didn't expect that the theater atmosphere here in Shangdu could be so strong. They actually sell standing tickets. It's almost as good as when I sang in operas back then."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Qi became interested, "Does your original troupe still sell standing tickets?"

"Sell it!" Wang Pingxiu said, "It's all the same, some are inside the station and some are outside."

"When it comes to a play with famous actors, the standing tickets outside can be sold for three floors inside and three floors outside. The more people there are, the happier the actors will be. When you get excited about singing, you can shout out and you can hear it from a distance outside."

"I remember that at that time, there were theater fans who would stay outside the famous actor's house to listen to him singing in the morning."

"In the morning, there are people on the three floors outside the house. There are people selling sesame cakes and soy milk on the side. Everyone is eating and listening!"

Jiang Qi:……
