Counterattack 1988

Xiao Bailing's performance tickets had already been booked out, but fortunately Zhang Xiaojia had some reserved seats for Wang Lin and the others to watch.

People in the city celebrate the New Year, and there are many activities in the evening, such as watching movies, going to temple fairs, and visiting scenic spots.

Of course, you can also go to Little Braun to watch the show!

Xiao Bailing's folk songs and dances are the best in the world.

During the holidays, it's hard to get a ticket.

During the Spring Festival, I heard that there are scalpers outside, hyping up admission tickets. A VIP ticket of 50 yuan can be sold for a high price of 200 yuan.

When Wang Lin and the others entered the arena, several scalpers stepped forward and asked, "Do you want a ticket? VIP tickets for the front row cost 200 yuan each."

Zhou Congee was shocked: "Why do ticket dealers have so many tickets? If these tickets cannot be sold, there will be a lot of empty seats in the venue."

Wang Lin also realized this problem.

The scalpers use various methods to manipulate each ticket with the agreed profit distribution method.To a large extent, this can create a hot phenomenon where tickets for concerts are hard to find.But to a greater extent, consumers have become lambs to be slaughtered.

If it's just an ordinary concert, leaving after one performance in a certain city, it won't have much impact on the reputation of the performing arts company.

But Little Bailing is a performing arts unit that is resident here. Once it creates a bad impression on the general public, gradually everyone will not come here to watch performances.

The homogenization of performances is very serious. Although Xiao Bailing's programs are very distinctive, the scalpers get tickets first and sit on the ground to raise prices, which first affects the interests and mood of consumers.Secondly, it has a negative impact on the image of the theater.

Although the scalpers bought the tickets in a short period of time, it didn't have much impact on the business of Little Bailing Theater.But over time, the audience will shy away.

If you look down on your show and cannot buy tickets for your show, the audience will settle for the next best thing and go to other competitors to watch the show.

Li Wenxiu said: "Wang Lin, you have to take care of this matter. Tickets are all in the hands of scalpers. Those who really want to go to the theater will have to pay a high price to see it, or they won't be able to get in at all."

Wang Lin hummed, and said, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so don't criticize them, let's talk about it tomorrow. In addition, I guess the issue of ticket dealers is not only in Beijin Bailing, but also in Shencheng."

Li Wenxiu said: "You have to be careful to prevent scalpers from colluding with internal employees to get tickets. Employees get discounts for tickets. This is a loophole."

Wang Lin nodded solemnly.

Everyone entered and took their seats.

The show starts on time.

Wang Lin and the others sat in the VIP seat, and there was a pot of tea and a program list on the table.

Li Wenxiu looked at the program list and said, "Peking opera is good, but it's just that some people can't understand what it's singing."

Wang Lindao: "This is easy, you can buy two LED display stage subtitle machines."

The teleprompter is a device that is indispensable in news broadcast rooms and singers' personal concerts.Even some speakers are eloquent and provocative behind the words, there is also its figure.

From the initial simple teleprompter device to the professional teleprompter equipment with various functions, it has a history of decades.

The teleprompter device originated from the waterproof paper roll in half a suitcase in the United States in 1948. It was originally used to remind the actors of the stage, because these paper rolls were hand-held by the staff, which was neither convenient nor safe.

An actor, Fred Barton Jr., proposed to make these paper rolls into motorized scrolls, and to see the prompts through the scrolls, so as to avoid language mistakes.Thus Schlafly's "television reminder device" was born.

Many companies have begun to design their own products based on this device.A patented product with a built-in teleprompter appeared in the lens. In the 1952 US general election, 58 of the 47 speakers used teleprompters.

Before the 80s, although teleprompters had been making slight progress, manuscripts could only be printed on paper.Until 1982, Hollywood sound mixer and stage crew, Courtney Gooding invented a software-based computer reminder system that could project text on a modified Atari 800 computer.Heralds the end of the use of paper rolls for teleprompter devices, replaced by computers.

In the same way, the teleprompter can also provide the audience with lyrics and libretto.

Li Wenxiu said: "Is it possible to type out the libretto at the back of the playlist? Then we can enjoy the show better."

Wang Lin said with a smile: "This workload will be relatively heavy, and the performances are different every day."

Li Wenxiu said: "Then raise the price of the VIP seat and provide a beautiful program list for free, and viewers with other ticket prices can purchase it by themselves. Although the programs are different every day, the lyrics of songs and opera songs are fixed. Made in the form of big cards, connected in series, just like commemorative postcards, the audience can also take it home as a souvenir.”

Wang Lin's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "This is called developing peripherals! Wenxiu, you are really amazing!"

Li Wenxiu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I'm just thinking about myself. There must be many audiences like me. We don't understand dramas. It would be great if there are words to watch. It would be best if there is a background introduction of this drama."

Wang Lindao: "You're right. This is a great thing to promote traditional civilization and popularize culture and art. Wenxiu, you have a very flexible mind!"

Li Wenxiu laughed softly: "Don't bury me, didn't I learn all these things from you?"

As usual, the opening was a lively and festive song and dance program, with beauties and handsome guys appearing one after another, making people dizzy.

Little Bailing in Beijin, Beijing opera can be regarded as the highlight.

After one performance, there are several Peking Opera arias.

Next came a handsome and charming Tsing Yi.

Tsing Yi is a kind of Dan Xing in Chinese operas. The northern operas are mostly called Qingyi, and the southern operas are mostly called Zhengdan.So named because the character he plays often wears blue pleats.The characters played are generally dignified, serious, and decent characters, most of whom are good wives and mothers, or chaste and martyred women.

Li Wenxiu looked at the program list and asked: "This is an excerpt from the Peking Opera "Mu Guiying in Command", and the singer is—"

"Li Susu!" Wang Lin suddenly shouted.

Li Wenxiu asked in surprise, "How do you know her? Is she famous?"

"Hehe, of course," Wang Lin said with a smile, "She is the famous plum school Tsing Yi, I didn't expect Xiao Bailing to invite her here too! Amazing!"

"I don't think she's very old."

"You should be in your twenties!"

"With makeup on, I can't see the real face, but this figure is very good, not inferior to Shen Xue."

"Ah."

Music sounded in the arena.

With the strong drumbeat, Li Susu on the stage sang: "I heard the sound of the golden drum and the sound of the painting horn, which aroused my ambition to break through the sky. I think that the peach blossoms were majestic and majestic at that time, and the enemy's blood was splashed on the pomegranate skirt. Responsibility in the day of my life How can an inch of land belong to others? What a clown king, I can stop a million soldiers with a single sword!"

"Okay!" The audience applauded.

Li Susu's timbre is mellow and beautiful, her singing is mellow and flavorful, her voice is free and easy, her performance is free and easy, her skills are profound, she has the demeanor of everyone, and she has the charm of Mei School.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he received countless applause.

Li Wenxiu, who doesn't understand Peking Opera, actually understood this passage, and said, "Wang Lin, she sings really well."

Wang Lin often listens to Peking Opera at home, and this passage is also his favorite. After hearing Li Susu's aria, he couldn't help admiring: "It must be Susu's singing! This singing is so perfect."

After Li Susu finished singing, Wang Lin took out a wad of money, I don't know how much, and put it in her program tipping box.

Everyone in the audience saw the thick stack of tickets, and there was another burst of applause.

Li Susu looked at Wang Lin with a sweet smile and exited gracefully.

Zhang Xiaojia went to work and came over halfway through the performance.

"Xiao Jia," Wang Lin asked, "Why did you invite Teacher Li Susu here?"

Zhang Xiaojia said: "Oh, Teacher Li is the troupe leader of the Peking Opera Theater in Jin Province. Her mentor, Mr. Mei Baojiu, lives in Beijing. She learned from Boss Mei five years ago. Although she went to Jin Province to develop, She will still come to greet Teacher Mei. We originally wanted to invite Teacher Mei to perform, but unfortunately, Teacher Mei couldn’t come because of something, so he recommended his favorite student and also his closed student, Teacher Li Susu. "

Wang Lindao: "It's a pity that I can only hear her sing this part!"

Zhang Xiaojia said: "Wang Lin, if you like her singing, can I ask her to add another one?"

"Encore? Then I can only listen to one more episode!" Wang Lin smiled regretfully.

Zhang Xiaojia sneered and said, "There is no other way, unless you can get her to sing a play for you!"

Wang Lindao: "Hey, what you said makes sense, I'll go talk to her."

Li Wenxiu said: "During the first lunar month, can't you let him have a good rest? With how much money, do you want to buy out his time?"

Wang Lin smiled awkwardly: "I'll ask her opinion first, what if she agrees?"

Li Wenxiu said: "Don't force him!"

Wang Lin said he knew, then got up and walked backstage.

Backstage was buzzing.

Dozens of actors, makeup artists, and costume artists are preparing for the show!

Wang Lin saw Li Susu at a glance from the disturbing crowd.

Li Susu hasn't taken off her makeup yet, and she will be on stage in the next performance.

She was sitting in front of the dressing table, chatting with a woman.

Wang Lin walked up to her and called out respectfully, "Mr. Li, hello."

Li Susu looked at him curiously. She knew that this was an important backstage place, and ordinary people couldn't get in. She wondered who Wang Lin was, but she quickly recognized him.

The audience who tipped her a lot of money in the audience!
"Hello!" Li Susu smiled slightly, "What can you do for me?"

Wang Lindao: "Mr. Li, you are my idol. I am very honored to see your wonderful performance here."

"Idol?" Li Susu said with a smile, "Aren't young people chasing stars nowadays? Taiwanese and Hong Kong stars are idols!"

Wang Lin said: "When a person worships an idol, he is actually using some images of this idol to tell others what kind of person I am. According to the French sociology master Bourdieu, this represents a certain taste. Choice, taste is what people rely on to distinguish themselves and try to overcome others in the symbolic field. I have few idols, but Teacher Li is one.”

Li Susu asked in surprise, "What's your name?"

Wang Lin said: "Mr. Li, you can call me Wang Lin."

The woman next to him smiled and said: "Mr. Li, he is the big boss of Aixiu Group, the richest man in the South, and Xiao Bailing Performing Arts Company is an industry under his name."

Li Susu was shocked: "It turns out that you are the CEO of Aishu Group! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

As she spoke, she held out her hand.

Wang Lin held her hand.

The hands of opera actors are very beautiful, especially soft and flexible, but not lacking in flexibility.

Li Susu said: "How can such a brilliant person as Mr. Wang regard me as an idol?"

Wang Lin smiled and said: "No matter how brilliant a person is, he will have his own idol. I like an idol, mostly because he taught me things I didn't know before, and his luminous attributes are what I want to have. Mr. Li The obsession and love for Peking Opera is what I want to have."

Li Susu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "So, you are also my idol, and your success is what I want to have."

The two smiled at each other.

Wang Lindao: "Mr. Li, I want to hold a special show for you, on the stage of Little Bailing. I don't know what you want?"

Li Susu pondered slightly.

She can only be regarded as a budding figure in the Beijing opera world, especially in Beijing, she is not considered a big actor.

Peking opera actors are also actors, what they need most is the stage and performance opportunities.

Little Bailing's influence in Beijing can be said to be second to none.

Those actors who have attended the Spring Festival Gala are also proud to perform in Little Braun.

If Little Braun held a Spring Festival Gala, it is estimated that they would not lose to the Spring Festival Gala.

Her teacher, Mr. Mei Baojiu, is actually not really busy, but wants to give this rare opportunity to be on stage to the closed disciple.

So Li Susu attaches great importance to today's performance in Little Braun.

But she never thought that she could hold a special show at Little Bailing!

So far, only a few artists such as Sister Lin have held special performances in Little Braun.

Li Susu is a Peking Opera actor, and the audience is actually very limited.

Wang Lin dared to do this, he was really cultivating her!

Li Susu is a smart person, of course she understands this section, and said worriedly: "Mr. Wang, thank you for your concern. But my appeal in Beijing is limited. It is expensive to include a special show on Little Bailing's stage! If What if the tickets can’t be sold?”

Wang Lin said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. I will leave the ticket sales to me. If Mr. Li agrees, we will make an agreement. We will hold a show for you at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The show. Do you think it will be in time? Or do you need extra prep time?"

Li Susu was stunned!

this man!

How domineering!

But this overbearing came with such joy!
Li Susu took a deep breath, her chest fluctuated: "Mr. Wang, I know a lot of repertoires. I am completely competent for a special performance, and I can go on stage at any time. You also have all kinds of performance costumes here. It can be said that everything is ready !But--"

"No, but." Wang Lin said firmly, "If the tickets can't be sold, I'll reserve the venue! But I believe that the supply of tickets will definitely exceed the demand! I'm afraid you still have to add more venues!"

What a rich man!

Private room!

Tickets for Little Bailing during the Spring Festival are very expensive, and there are so many seats here, it’s not a small price to book a seat!
Li Susu's piercing and wonderful eyes became even brighter!
"Mr. Wang, I will work hard, and I will definitely perform well in this special!" Li Susu has always been bright, but at this moment she was trembling because of being too excited.
