On the afternoon of November 4th, Teacher Chang Li brought the students from Class 96 of China National Theater to the Beijing TV station's "Talk about Beijing" column group.
This program is an interview entertainment program founded last year. It is now considered a relatively influential program and has high ratings in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area.
In the dressing room of the program group, the air was quite solemn, and the students from Class 96 of the Chinese Drama Theater were nervous one after another.
Especially Hu Jing, who is the lead actress, is the most nervous. She has always been the happy star of the class, and now she doesn’t know what to say to liven up the atmosphere.
"Red carp, green carp and donkey, red donkey, green donkey and carp..." Hu Jing repeated the tongue twisters she usually practiced to relieve her anxiety.
"Love Through Time" premiered on Beijing TV during prime time, which brought a lot of pressure to everyone.
In today's era when local provincial stations have not yet fully emerged, the strength of Beijing TV Station has always been at the forefront, and can even be regarded as the first among local provincial stations.
Especially in the past few years, a large number of phenomenal TV series such as "Desire", "Beijing People in New York", and "The Story of the Editorial Office" broadcast by Beijing TV Station have become popular all over the country.
Many areas can receive broadcasts from Jingcheng TV. These popular phenomenon-level TV series have also made many viewers develop viewing habits. TV series broadcast on Jingcheng TV during prime time have certain ratings guarantee.
This is also one of the important reasons why Liu Hao, in addition to CCTV, would choose Beijing TV Station.
Not only that, "Love Across Time and Space" is broadcast in prime time after "Carry Love to the End".
"Carry Love to the End" is a youth drama, later known as an idol drama, and it is considered the originator of mainland idol dramas.
This TV series can be regarded as a phenomenon-level TV series. Once it was aired, it became extremely popular, and its ratings continued to rise.
This drama made the lead actor Li Yapeng have countless fans, and Xu Jinglei was directly promoted to the "National First Love". The ending song "Waiting for You to Love Me" is also so popular that even those who have never watched the drama can hum it.
When this TV series was on the air, Xu Jinglei got Liu Hao's new phone number out of nowhere, and even called Liu Hao proudly to ask if he regretted turning down the starring role in this series.
There is nothing to regret about this. Liu Hao is not a well-known "soft rice king" in the industry like Li Yapeng, and he does not lack film and television resources.
It's just that Gao Yuanyuan was beside Xu Jinglei when she called Liu Hao. As soon as she heard Xu Jinglei's voice, Gao Yuanyuan's gunpowder barrel was ignited and exploded again. Liu Hao spent a lot of effort to coax her back.
So it’s normal for everyone in China Drama Class 96 to feel stressed.
"Why isn't Liu Hao here? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Zhang Tong, who had been staring at the time, suddenly asked.
"He must have been delayed by something. During this period, he has been busy with concerts and his fourth college..." Zeng Li explained for Liu Hao.
"Then he is so busy, will he not come?" Hu Jing, who stopped reciting the tongue twister silently, asked.
"Probably not." Zeng Li replied with a frown. Liu Hao had called him to inform him that he would definitely come.
Ever since Liu Hao helped Mei Ting solve the problem of being forced to drop out of school, Liu Hao has gradually become the backbone of Class 96 of China National Theater. If Liu Hao is here, everyone will feel more at ease and not so nervous.
If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up, and Liu Hao is the tall one.
We didn’t keep everyone waiting for too long, Liu Hao rushed over quickly.
As soon as Liu Hao appeared, everyone suddenly became less nervous and gradually moved closer to Liu Hao, especially Zeng Li, who stood silently behind Liu Hao.
"Our big star is finally here, and now he has all the airs of a star, so let's just let everyone wait..." Hu Jing, who has always been familiar with her, started to act strangely like a happy enemy. She always had a sweet smile on her face that made people think again.
It's not easy to be angry.
"I'm busy with something, aren't I delayed?" Liu Hao had no choice but to explain.
"What's going on?" Zhang Tong asked curiously.
Liu Hao thought for a while and then replied: "Uh... it's about the new album. I'm going to add another song to the album."
"Wow!" Zhang Tong exclaimed and then asked, "Your new album already has thirteen songs, what kind of songs are you adding?"
"Is this a secret?" Liu Hao laughed mysteriously and took out a stack of his concert tickets from his bag and handed them to everyone.
Liu Hao's solo Asia concert in collaboration with PolyGram will start on the 20th of this month.
It lasted for about three months, with a total of 18 games, including five consecutive games in Hong Kong, one each in Singapore and Malaysia, and the rest were in the mainland.
In the mainland, only the capital city holds it twice, one at the beginning and the other at the end.
Everyone seemed very happy to get Liu Hao's tickets. After all, Liu Hao is now the most popular singer in the mainland. The concert tickets were sold out as soon as they were launched and they were extremely popular.
It’s just that Zhang Tong, Zhang Ziyi and others looked unhappy with the tickets given by Liu Hao.
"What's wrong with you?" Liu Hao asked with some confusion.
Zhang Tong was embarrassed to speak, but it was Zhang Ziyi who explained: "When your concert tickets went on sale, we queued up all night to buy your concert tickets, but we didn't get them. We had no choice but to pay a high price for them."
Got scalped tickets..."
As he said this, Zhang Ziyi took out several concert tickets from his bag.
Zeng Li had tried to persuade them not to buy tickets, but they just didn't listen.
These tickets were all VIP tickets for the best seats. Liu Hao couldn't help laughing when he looked at these tickets.
"How much did you spend?"
"One piece costs 3,000, for me, Zhang Tong, Qin Hailu, and Hu Jing..." Zhang Ziyi said matter-of-factly.
"You are so willing to give up!" Liu Hao couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, thinking that you guys worked so hard to film a TV series for yourself and only earned a few remuneration. This is a lot of repayment.
No, it should have been returned to scalpers.
You must know that the highest ticket price for brother Zhang Guorong's concert in Shantou at the beginning of this year was only 300 yuan.
The economy in Beijing is definitely more developed than in Shantou, and prices have risen a lot over the year. Therefore, the ticket price for Liu Hao's concert in Beijing is 200-300 yuan for ordinary tickets, and the highest-priced VIP ticket is only 888 yuan.
Zhang Tong and the others spent more than three times the price to buy scalper tickets. Liu Hao could only call them really heroic.
These days, families who study art are basically not short of money, and besides, it’s their own money.
Seeing them aggrieved at being taken advantage of, Liu Hao couldn't bear it.
Liu Hao had no choice but to comfort him: "Let's do this. I'll reimburse you for the money you spent on scalping tickets."
"Really!" Zhang Ziyi and the others immediately became happy and asked, "What about the tickets we bought? Can you give them to us?"
"That's no problem!" Liu Hao said generously. He still had a lot of concert tickets in his hand and didn't care about these tickets at all.
Not all the tickets for a concert will be sold, a considerable proportion must be given away as favor tickets.
Although Liu Hao's concert tickets were very popular, Liu Hao and PolyGram still squeezed out 1/4 of the favor tickets.
This ratio is not high. You must know that around 40% of the favor tickets are given away at concerts.
As for the favor tickets given out, whether they are viewed by others themselves, given to relatives and friends as favors, sold as scalper tickets, or dealt with in other ways, this is not Liu Hao's concern.
Already.
As soon as they heard that the tickets they bought could be theirs without paying any money, Zhang Tong and the four of them immediately jumped for joy, which aroused the jealousy of other students.
Liu Huohua and others crowded around Liu Hao. Liu Huohua put his arm around Liu Hao's shoulders and licked his face and asked, "Then if we buy scalper tickets again, can you reimburse us?"
Liu Hao glanced at the group of bad friends in his dormitory and said scornfully: "Do you guys have the money to buy scalper tickets?"
The friends in Liu Hao's dormitory all blushed when they mentioned it. They are a group of boys who don't know how to be restrained in spending money, and they can't make money like the girls in the class by filming commercials and taking roles. Now they are all so poor that their crotches are ringing.
Worrying not about scarcity but inequality, Liu Hao finally agreed that as long as the ratings of this TV series were good, he would eventually give each of his classmates three more tickets.
