In times of peace, there are so many big dog owners.
Being a copywriter is a very lucrative job.
You know, this time Muse directly maximized the share of his new drama, accounting for 50% of the total revenue.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a playwright to obtain this number.
The first thing to deduct is the imperial taxes and other miscellaneous expenses.
Secondly, the theater has to provide venues, services, and training of opera singers, etc. This is where the cost lies, and usually the theater takes 50% of it.
Then the Cult of Music and Dance, as the organizer (distributor), will also take a cut.
In the end, it fell into the hands of the playwright, and if he could get 5%, he would laugh crookedly.
50% share, this is a typical spillover effect.
For example, when a ticket that costs only 50 yuan is priced at a premium of 1,000 yuan, its cost is so small that it is almost negligible. Except for a small amount of cost, all income is pure profit.
The key point is that a few goddesses are in charge. This kind of thing cannot even be done openly by scalpers. At most, they can ask the priests of the Music God Cult to exchange favors for tickets. Otherwise, these people will be punished by God for buying tickets for the sake of appearance. That would be unbearable.
Walking around in circles made me smell fishy.
In the past few days, Mark’s hands cramped from counting money.
The income that "Romeo and Juliet" brought him is currently more than 10 million lite dollars. "Butterfly Lovers" is the second work of a certain literary copywriter after he became famous, and it is the drama that really started to make big money.
Because there was too much money, Mark had to use three newly hired maids to help settle the accounts.
Anweina and the other three were confused.
When they first knew that Mark had purchased this [abnormal] cruise ship, they thought Mark was going to launch a big move [immersive begging] against their family. Who would have thought that Mark was capable of standing and making money.
Not only did you make money, but you also earned face?
Anweina smiled bitterly: "Originally, our family didn't know anything about the Destiny family, and we heard that you were actually deposed. As a result, I came to work as a maid for you after encountering the [abnormality]. They had some opinions. After all,
The years of training I have been given have been in vain... They have some intentions and want to marry me to a wealthy businessman in exchange for some benefits."
Mark smiled evilly, touching her conscience and speaking: "What now?"
Anweina's face turned red: "Now they are asking me to get the tickets. They have said all the good things."
"puff!"
Mark didn't care about this small favor.
Ge Yadili whispered: "Is the new opera really that good? I don't doubt the master's intention, I just find it incredible."
Mark said firmly: "Of course it's the best."
Because "Butterfly Lovers" is actually a musical adapted from "Butterfly Lovers"!
A killer weapon like "Butterfly Lovers" is invincible when unleashed.
The quality itself lies here. The key is that the different instruments used can create a differentiated experience from the previous "Romeo".
Unfortunately, Mark estimates that making quick money by copying documents will not last long.
Now that [nests] and large-scale [abnormalities] have emerged, this is probably the evil party's temptation for the orthodox church. Once major changes occur in the spiritual world, hell and abyss, all kinds of monsters and ghosts will swarm into the real world.
When order breaks down, luxury goods and elegant literary and artistic consumption will be abandoned immediately. Only food and force are the most reliable.
"The longest time is nearly three years..." Mark stared out the window and muttered to himself.
Five days is not a long time, but it feels like it went by in a flash.
This evening, the Attilas Grand Opera House was an unprecedented event.
First of all, it is rumored that the seven major gods of the art department, except for the god of architecture, will all descend their avatars tonight. This can be seen from the fact that the archbishop or high priest of their church will be present in person.
Secondly, the related churches also sent people to attend. For example, the high priest of the Church of Fortune also came: she is not an artist, which does not prevent her from focusing on this hottest business recently. No one knows whether the goddess of wealth will come.
.
Then there are the unexpected visitors.
Mark got a headache when he saw Lord Knight's name [Whip of Night] on the guest list. Who knows if the mysterious Lady of the Night will come.
Compared with the huge lineup of orthodox church gods, the only one who can be mentioned is the imperial princess. The other dukes, marquises, wealthy businessmen and the like are not even qualified to book a box, and are only qualified to be passers-by in the ordinary audience.
.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the believers of the Music and Dance Church were extremely busy, and the mercenaries responsible for maintaining order were even more frightened. They had to carefully check every ticket to confirm the identity of the other party, and not to offend the other party.
There is no way, any customer here is considered to be a high-ranking official.
At eight o'clock in the evening, in the luxurious opera house, the whispers of the crowd did not become quiet as the emcee came on stage.
But when more than ten boxes on both sides of the main auditorium lit up with a majestic and vast aura, the entire audience fell into silence. Everyone stood up and bowed to pay the highest respect to the distinguished guests in the boxes.
No one dared to raise their sights even a little bit.
because……
Gods have arrived!
It even includes goddesses like the Goddess of the Night, who don’t appear sacred in front of mortals in the world!
What a card! What a glory!
The significance of this scene alone far exceeds the opera itself.
The emcee, whose guest appearance was the high priest of music, Elini, looked at his attire again, and after confirming that there was nothing rude about it, he introduced himself into the microphone with a proud accent:
"O supreme gods! I am the High Priest of the Cult of Music, Elini. On behalf of our Lord Muse, I would like to welcome you to tonight's premiere ceremony. The one I want to present to you tonight is the famous playwright Mark*
Stinney's third new work is a tribute to the gods. I don't think there is any need to elaborate on his legendary experience here, as it will certainly not disappoint the gods. So, please invite the playwright himself to take the stage."
After Alini's concise introduction, the spotlight immediately focused on the majestic Mark.
Wearing a white tuxedo with gold trim, Mark walked up to the stage with his head held high and bowed to the gods in the boxes on the left and right.
After realizing that the first person Mark was saluting was herself, the incarnation of the goddess of the night elegantly covered her mouth with a black fluffy fan and let out a happy chuckle.
This left Knight, who was standing beside him, speechless: I always felt that in the eyes of the goddess, Mark was the whip of the night!
Mark spoke up: "I am honored to be favored by the gods, and I am grateful that my works can be recognized by the world. Here today, I just want to say - art knows no borders and can exist forever across time and space.
.Let us enjoy together - "Butterfly Lovers"!"
As soon as the words fell, the audience burst into continuous applause.
When Mark walked onto the command seat, the applause in the entire hall immediately stopped and the atmosphere became very quiet.
Every nobleman and musician stretched his neck forward slightly, waiting for the music to begin.
A somewhat soothing note began to sound, bringing out a smooth and narrative rhythm,
In the rhythmic music, the opera singer appears and tells the background of the story with singing.
Mark never seems to like to use the solemn beginnings commonly used by dramatists. This kind of foreshadowing rhythm makes the smile on the face of the muse in the box even stronger. She has long been tired of those dogmatic and old-fashioned creations.
She used a lot of instruments that she was familiar with, but the music had an obviously exotic feel that definitely touched her heart.
The gods had different reactions, but the one who reacted the most was none other than the imperial princess Marian.
She came here purely for Mark at first, but when she first caught a glimpse of the woman playing the piano, she could no longer look away, and her mind went blank.
Yolanda, who accompanied her, naturally discovered the problem: "Your Highness, why does she look... almost exactly like you."
The two 'people' are almost the same mold.
The captain of the royal guard who was serving as the escort behind the princess solemnly said: "Your Highness, please be careful, the one playing the piano is [abnormal]."
"Ah!" Both women exclaimed in surprise.
"Alas!" Flamel, the old butler who was serving beside him, sighed: "His Majesty's decree is that the person who was once your aunt, Your Highness Mina."
"Ah this..." The news was so shocking that the princess' loss of voice even attracted several displeased looks from around her.
The princess quickly expressed her apology with gestures and expressions, and then asked the old housekeeper in a low voice.
"That Highness was one of the most outstanding children of the royal family, and had the extraordinary talent to become a member of the dancing goddess's family. She was the best in the empire in dancing when she was only 12 years old. It was just an accident that caused her to fall into a mechanical world.
From then on, His Majesty had to arrange her in the Le Mans Manor. Unexpectedly, a few years later, she turned into an [abnormality], a doll with dancing as its law! Later, I don’t know what happened to her,
With Mr. Destiny."
Princess Yolanda ate a big melon and was a little scared secretly: "But Mina... Your Highness looks normal!"
Yes, it looks like Mini is no different from an ordinary person.
After being covered with silicone, her peaceful face can be glimpsed even through the veil, and there is no trace of the doll's unique mechanical marks on her finger joints.
The guard captain smiled bitterly: "She is indeed an [abnormal]. I can feel her faint abnormal spiritual power fluctuations. Well, she seems to have the blessing of Goddess Barbara."
What is this?
The former Princess Mina couldn't become the goddess's dependents, but after following Mark out, she became one of the dependents?
Princess Marianne's mind was in a mess. No matter how attractive the opera was, her eyes only wandered back and forth on Mini and Mark.
The princess bit her red lips: "Today, please help me make an appointment with Mr. Destiny."
"Yes!" The old housekeeper bowed.
The more than three-hour opera ended, and Mark enjoyed five minutes of overwhelming applause at the curtain call.
After thanking him many times, Mark walked backstage with a smile on his face, but as soon as he saw Helena approaching him.
"Mark, Her Royal Highness Marianne, the third princess of the empire, wants to see you...and Mini."
