"Previously, we booked 40 performances at the China National Theater Shaw Theatre, which has a capacity of 1,000 people.
OK, that’s because we have no experience.
But it’s already the second round, why are you looking for a venue with 1,000 people? What do you think? We are a small theater troupe with no name and no money. I think we should stop our losses immediately and switch to a small theater with 200 people.
Let’s make some achievements within the circle!” The next day, in a room backstage at the Haidian Theater, the three founders of the company had a quarrel.
Tian Youliang thought that he should return to small theaters, but Zhang Chen didn't think so and said: "Most drama productions are organized by establishment units. It is already difficult for private enterprises to break through the tight encirclement. If we go to small theaters, how many years will it take us to become famous?"
Either lose or make money, choose one of the two, and never compromise with yourself!
Haidian Theater is the stage for us to perform."
"you……"
Tian Youliang was angry and turned to Yu Kai: "What's your opinion?"
"Well……"
Yu Kai was in a dilemma, but he still said: "I agree with Lao Zhang's point of view. Small theaters cannot cultivate a business environment. We are in a difficult situation now, but as long as we survive, we will be much higher than starting in a small theater."
"What if you can't get through it?"
"How do you know if you haven't tried it? Anyway, here's what I'm saying: I'd rather lose all my money at the Haidian Theater than make a living in a small theater!"
Zhang Chen's words were a bit harsh, and Yu Kai quickly advised him: "What you said, Lao Zhang, is for the good of the company. Lao Tian, don't take it too seriously. This is a time like this when we need to tide over the difficulties together."..."
Tian Youliang stopped talking and sighed inwardly.
He originally wanted to make a TV series when he started the company, but SARS was forced to develop a drama. Now the TV series has not been filmed, and the drama has no results. It has played more than 40 shows and has no attendance. I kind of want to withdraw.
He waved his hand, not wanting to quarrel, and said: "Go out, don't let others laugh."
The three people walked out of the room, and the actors who were preparing backstage looked around and pretended not to hear. Shen Teng hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Mr. Tian, how many tickets were sold today?"
"A dozen or so."
"Oh," Shen Teng silently stepped back. There were more than ten pictures, when will they end!
After a while, the performance started, and many people noticed a slightly familiar face underneath. It was the young man who specifically asked about it after yesterday's end, but there was no female companion around today, so he came by himself.
After the curtain call again, the audience left, and the guy ran over again and said with a smile: "When will the show end?"
"the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, see you next time!"
Everyone is confused. Why is this audience so enthusiastic? -----
In the blink of an eye, the day after tomorrow, it snowed again in the capital.
It’s a cold night in winter. It’s raining heavily this time. The lights at the entrance of Haidian Theater are on, like an isolated island in the vast whiteness. The form of drama is quite special. It takes a long time to write the script. It takes at least three months to half a year to rehearse. The performance is
Round counting, at least dozens of games in one round.
After several rounds, it can reach one or two hundred performances, and the time span spans several years. After a break, another team of people can be replaced, and it can be performed for one or two hundred performances, over and over again... Therefore, a successful drama will be performed in every unit. baby.
At present, there are two major mountains in the country, Renyi and Guohua. Renyi is the earliest in New China, with Mount Tai and Beidou, and has countless disciples and former officials. But there is an obvious flaw. Its full name is "BJ People's Art Theater", which has a distinct geographical location.
So in 2001, the China Youth Art Theater and the Central Experimental Theater merged to form Guohua, which is called a truly national-level theater.
This is the house that the prince wants to enter.
In addition to these two companies, there are also provincial-level drama troupes, all of which are formally established and funded... This system accounts for 99% of the market in the drama industry.
It was Chen Peisi who broke the market and established "Dao Culture". Private enterprises did dramas and barely got a share of the pie.
So it's not easy to get involved. There are countless small troupes, but only a few are strong.
Still backstage at the theater.
Shen Teng was preparing when suddenly the theater manager came in. Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that the other person's eyes were full of pity when he looked at him and the others.
"Manager Chen, why are you here?"
Yu Kai hurriedly greeted him. Manager Chen looked around and said, "Where are the two of you?"
"Here, here, come here quickly!"
Tian Youliang and Zhang Chen also came.
"That's right. So far, you've only sold 4 tickets today. I've watched it in the past few days. The show is good, but there are some things that can't be said for sure. The attendance rate can't be helped. You're going to lose a show. It's a lot of money. I think it would be better to cancel today's performance and I won't charge you for it."
"..."
The faces of the three of them turned red and white, and they felt burning pain. The other party meant well, but speaking so bluntly felt like a knife.
Tian Youliang remained silent, Zhang Chen was ashamed and angry, Yu Kai hesitated a few times and said, "Well, let's discuss it, then?"
"Yes, but as soon as possible."
"Definitely, thank you."
Yu Kai played the role of blending oil and said: "This is not the time to argue. We need to come up with an idea as soon as possible. Whether to return it or not, you two can think about it before we decide."
"Back off!"
At this time 17b**m Zhang Si and Tian Youliang were really tired.
Zhang Chen was very reluctant, but as people say, one performance is a loss, and there is really no need for the four of us to perform.
When Guo Degang was at his lowest, there was only one audience member in the audience, but there were only a few people on the stage. The play was full of people, and there were only 4 people in the audience. No matter what, it was not exciting.
"Then retreat."
Zhang Chen sighed.
"I also agree to withdraw, but the audience should be here at this time. What should we do?"
"Wait outside. When we come, we will refund the ticket and pay for the taxi."
After all, Zhang Chen had some courage and responded quickly. The two people had no objections, so they clapped their hands and shouted: "Everyone, stop, stop, we won't perform today!"
"Why don't you act anymore?"
"There are too few spectators, so we have canceled it. Please come and work hard. We will have a dinner together later to make up for it!"
It should be sparse.
Morale dropped to its lowest point, and several people left immediately.
Zhang Chen and others ran outside and stood in the snow, waiting for the four spectators to greet each other, explain the situation, and give money on the spot, including taxi fare. The spectators were very understanding and encouraged: "Too
It's a pity. I heard from my friends that your show is good, so I wanted to come and see it."
"Come on, see you again later!"
Three of them were sent away, and one was left.
After waiting for a while, an Accord drove over in the snow, and a handsome guy got out, it was that weird young man.
Yo!
The first reaction of several people was that this guy didn’t need to pay for the taxi.
"What is this for?"
The other party looked at this battle and was quite surprised. Is the boss a welcome guest?
"Hello, hello, that's what happened... I'm really sorry, I won't perform today."
"How can I not perform? I came all the way in the snow, but I am your loyal audience. After three performances in a row, you all know me."
"Yes, yes, we are very grateful to you, but there are really too few people."
"It doesn't matter if there are a few people. What matters is the attendance rate. I've taken over this theater now, so you can perform."
Um???
Several people were stunned. Is this guy driving drunk and talking nonsense?
Zhida Zhixiao. "Let's get to know each other. My surname is Yao, and I have opened a small company."
The other party handed over a business card, and the three of them saw the big 99 sign through the bright light at the door.
