Chapter nine hundred and eighty-four the person you least want to see
Good news to announce?
Not only those men, but also Li Er and the ministers also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
Li Ke chose a high ground, waved his enviable strong arms, and said loudly: "Yes, behind me is the People's Grand Theater. From now on, everyone can come here to watch dramas. Every drama,
The ticket only costs five hundred cents."
Five hundred texts?
Everyone immediately went crazy.
The ticket to the Chang'an Grand Theater costs 50 yuan.
It's simply two astronomical numbers.
Those present had no idea that this play would be so close to them one day.
Fifty guan, that's an unattainable price.
But five hundred coins is different. Ordinary people can still get this money.
"Is the play you're talking about about Crazy Primitives killing Ma Su with tears?" someone asked.
In Chang'an, these two plays are the most famous.
Li Ke nodded: "Yes, there are all these plays."
"Did His Royal Highness the King of Shu perform it himself?" someone asked curiously.
Nowadays, the legend of Li Ke is spread all over Chang'an City.
Li Ke's popularity has also reached a higher level because of the drama.
Li Ke smiled: "What do you think? His Highness the King of Shu is handsome and unrestrained, with jade trees facing the wind. He is a rare talent throughout the ages. With only five hundred words, you also want to see His Highness the King of Shu. What do you think?
Beautiful... However, Li Ergou, who was nominated for this year’s Golden Bull Award for Best Actor in a Drama, will definitely come to the People’s Grand Theater to perform in a play.”
Li Ergou?
Nominated?
Someone said: "That's good. The Golden Bull Award is extraordinary. The bonus alone is 300,000 yuan. This year's best actor is His Highness the King of Shu. The other two nominees are Wang Zhengsheng and Li Ergou. Needless to say, Wang Zhengsheng,
Everyone knows that Li Ergou is as famous as Wang Zhengsheng, he must be very powerful!"
"Wow, I want to watch a drama!"
"I want to see too!"
Everyone was talking very excitedly.
Li Er was a little curious: "Du He, who is this Li Ergou?"
"Reporting to my father, Li Ergou is the deputy captain of the Hu County Guancheng Brigade, and his military force is inferior to that of the King of Shu."
"What plays has he acted in?" Li Er asked.
"Li Ergou has never acted in a play!"
"Then why was he nominated for the Golden Bull Award for Best Actor?"
"At that time, the time for awarding the Golden Bull Award was tight and no suitable candidate could be found, so His Highness asked Li Ergou to join the list. Otherwise, there would be too few people and the Golden Bull Award would not be worth enough!" Du He explained truthfully.
Li Er: "..."
Ministers: "..."
Isn't this a lie?
However, those guys who were interested in the palace maids just now changed their direction one by one, clamoring to watch Li Ergou perform in a play.
This is Datang’s star chasing!
Although everyone has never seen Li Ergou or the drama he acted in, it must be amazing for this person to be nominated for the Golden Bull Award for Best Actor.
We can't see powerful people like King Shu and Wang Zhengsheng, but it's good to see Li Ergou.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Ke announced loudly: "Tomorrow morning, the People's Grand Theater will begin its first drama performance. It will be The Crazy Primitives and Kill Ma Su with Tears. The leading actors are all winners of this year's Golden Bull Award for Best Performance.
Tickets for Li Ergou, who is nominated for the leading actor, are on sale immediately. They only cost 500 coins each. Everyone, hurry up. Also, there is a condition for buying tickets. You must have a ticket for the carriage from Chang'an to Huxian. If you don't have a ticket, just
You can’t buy tickets!”
No one cares about this.
Anyway, everyone present has bought tickets, so it won’t be a problem.
Everyone screamed and rushed to buy tickets.
Li Ke was very proud when he saw it.
He waved, called someone, and ordered: "Hurry up and take the people back, send those palace maids back, sneak them into the palace quietly, don't let anyone discover them, and go and find out, does your father know about this?"
The subordinate asked: "Your Highness, what if Your Majesty knows about this?"
Li Ke rolled his eyes: "Of course I should run away quickly and crawl into the Qinling Mountains, and then come out after my father calms down."
"Ahem..."
Suddenly there was a coughing sound nearby.
Li Ke turned his head impatiently and suddenly froze.
He wanted to curse the person, but when he saw it, he turned out to be the person he was most familiar with and the person he least wanted to see.
"Father...Father, why are you here?" Li Ke stammered, scared out of his mind.
Li Er's face was gloomy and he asked in a deep voice: "Ke'er, I ask you, why are you so bold as to sneak the palace maid out of the palace? What do you want?"
Li Ke was extremely frightened, but when he saw Du He looking at him with encouragement, he plucked up the courage and said: "Qi...Father, the emperor, son and minister...we were really forced to do this, so we took this step.
At the beginning, the emperor asked Erchen to promote the drama within half a year so that ordinary people could watch the drama. Erchen had people do a survey. If the ticket price of the drama was more than a normal amount of money, the people would not care. If it reached a normal price, it would not matter.
Only a few people were willing to pay for it, and the price of five hundred cents was just right... However, at the price of five hundred cents, the money to build the theater and the remuneration of the actors could not be guaranteed at all. Later, Er
The minister then thought of building the Chang'an Grand Theater in Chang'an, with a ticket price of 50 guan each, with the best actors, the best environment, and the best dramas, and opening another People's Theater in Hu County.
It is specifically aimed at ordinary people, so that everyone can come here to watch dramas. At the same time, part of the money earned by the Chang'an Grand Theater is used to put it here, but it is inconvenient for the people to come here, so Li Zhi thought of the big carriage, but it is a pity that the people do not
I trusted the big carriage, but no one cared about it, so I thought of this method to attract everyone to ride in the big carriage...Father, I am not a son, please punish me."
Li Ke was chattering. Although he didn't express himself clearly, everyone could hear him clearly.
Li Er asked: "Ke'er, I ask you, why do you spare no effort to promote the drama?"
Li Ke thought for a while, scratched his head and said: "Because, this is the order of the father. In fact, there is another reason, that is, I like to see the smiles of the people... Every time I think of my son as a prince,
, there is endless glory and wealth to enjoy, but those people are very pitiful all their lives. They don’t know drama, they don’t know the Golden Bull Award, they don’t know storytelling... It’s really pitiful. If I can do something for them, how can I do it?
Isn’t it a happy thing?”
After Li Er heard this, he was immediately moved.
His expression gradually softened.
After a long while, he said: "Ke'er, you did the right thing in this matter. You have the people in your heart. I am very pleased. However, in the future, the means of doing things must be brighter and must not use such despicable methods again."
Yes, remember?"
"My son, please keep this in mind."
"Okay, I won't pursue this matter anymore. You have done a good job in promoting the drama and letting people watch the drama... Also, this method was thought up by Du He, right?"
, Li Er turned his head and looked at Du He with a smile.
