Chapter 375

On the second floor of the theater, in the box with the best view and the most expensive price set by Grandma Nangong, Mr. Yang, who was said to have a voice as loud as three, was pacing back and forth in the box impatiently.

"Okay, old Yang, don't shake it anymore, your shaking back and forth annoys my eyes." Grandma Nangong's best friend, Grandma Zhang, frowned and said angrily.

Grandma Zhang and her good sister Nangong Cimei have different looks. Grandma Zhang is a thin old lady with a small stature.When she was young, Grandma Zhang had a pretty melon-shaped face with high cheekbones. Now that she is old, her face can't hold flesh, and she looks a bit mean. She is a standard image of a wicked mother-in-law in film and television dramas.

Now when she gets angry, she looks more like a wicked mother-in-law.

Mr. Yang with a loud voice said gruffly: "This box is so long, can I still obstruct your eyes if I swing back and forth?"

The box on the 2nd floor of the theater is narrow and long. Under normal circumstances, it is barely enough for 5 people to watch with a good view. It is also possible to squeeze [-] people. If it is more crowded, someone has to sit in the back like Xue Shaoheng did last night and play by himself. that's it.

Of course, the theater recommends a box for 2-3 people, which is the most spacious and comfortable.

Grandma Nangong only booked 3 boxes with the best seats yesterday. In her opinion, such a good show needs to be watched in the best seats, even if it is crowded.

"You just watch the show, what are you doing wandering back and forth, you want to take a walk and go for a walk." Grandma Zhang replied rudely.

Sitting at the small table drinking tea calmly, glancing at the stage from time to time, Mr. Cheng, who seemed to have seen it but didn’t, took a sip of green tea calmly, put down the tea bowl and asked, "Lao Yang, do you have any worries?"

"That's right, Lao Yang, you don't have the temperament to hold back what you have to say." Mr. Cheng's wife, Grandma Xu, echoed.

Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Xu are the only couple in this wave of elderly theater troupes.

"Nangong went to the bathroom, and he won't be back in a few minutes. If you want to say something, you can say it boldly." Mr. Cheng said with a face that I don't know you yet, old boy.

Grandma Zhang stared at Mr. Yang suspiciously.

Mr. Yang was overwhelmed, and was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Grandma Zhang and said nothing, implying that Nangong's absence is of no use. Isn't it because her best friend is sitting here as a spy?

"I won't tell." Grandma Zhang said, "You have to believe me."

"Lao Yang, tell me." Grandma Xu gave a timely push.

Mr. Yang looked at all the old friends, glanced carefully at the door, and said, "I think there is something wrong with Nangong's taste."

"That's it?" Old Man Yang pointed to the stage with a look of Are you kidding me?

"At this level, it's worth calling so many of us? I heard her hype playing on the phone last night and thought it was so good. I was so excited that I didn't close my eyes all night. I cleaned it up early in the morning. Here comes the good luggage."

"This is the result?"

"I think Nangong had a special chat with the young man downstairs for a while before. Could it be that one of her nephews opened this theater?" Mr. Yang said with a look that I was deceived.

My trusted drama connoisseur tricked me!

Mr. Yang looked sad.

"You fart!" Grandma Zhang cursed angrily on the spot, and Grandma Xu got up and closed the window in fright so that the sound would not be louder than the sound on the stage.

"I think you were cheated of 30 yuan by a scammer last month. Now everyone looks like a scammer. Didn't Fang say it all this morning? The actor she praised last night only sang the big drama at night, and he didn't appear in the small drama in the afternoon. , have you ever seen Tai Zhuzi singing from morning to night? Don't use your voice!"

Grandma Nangong's full name is Nangong Fang.

"It's a pity that you have watched the theater for so many years. A tea ticket costs 20 yuan. You can bring the tea with you to watch the theater. You can use your toes to know that it is for the young people in the theater to practice their hands. What else do you want to see at this price? A play? A good play sells at this price, and they don’t make money, eat, or survive, so they’re just doing charity?”

"Huanfang lied to you, what did she lie to you? She lied to you and called you over? Wouldn't it be easier to just call and sell you a few instruments?"

Grandma Zhang's output stunned Mr. Yang.

Just when Mr. Yang was in a daze thinking about which sentence to start to answer back, Grandma Xu said with a look on her face, Ou Hou, I actually ate all of this melon, and asked impatiently:

"Old Yang was cheated of 30 last month?! What did he buy and cheated of 30?"

Old Master Cheng also craned his neck curiously to look at Grandma Zhang.

Grandma Zhang glanced contemptuously at Mr. Yang, with a look on her face that she was still arguing with me at your level of quarrel, she withdrew her expression, and began to share gossip: "A very nonsense thing."

"One device, said to be red light for heart disease, green light for high blood pressure, and yellow light for diabetes, cost 10 yuan each. Lao Yang bought three of them at once. By the time his son knew about it, the scammer had disappeared. .”

"It's just that he has a stubborn mouth. He was still there last week to argue with us that this thing is actually not so useless, and it is more or less useful."

"It's...it was." Old Man Yang whispered, "It's really helpful. If you don't believe it, I've been using it for half a month, and I feel that my bronchitis is getting better."

"Those three lights didn't cure bronchitis." Grandma Xu complained.

"It's incidental." Mr. Yang continued to be stubborn, "Not only do I think it's useful, but Lao Hong, Lao Xia, Lao Liu, and Lao Wan who bought it with me all think it's useful."

"Wow." Grandma Xu looked surprised, "There are so many people who were fooled with you."

Mr. Yang shut up completely, and pretended that the stage performance was actually okay, and slapped his thigh: "Hey, why didn't I realize just now that the guy who sang Wang Xiaoliu is actually pretty good at singing."

Crowd: ...

"But Lao Zhang, although Lao Yang's brain is not very good, what he said just now actually makes sense." Grandma Xu said to Grandma Zhang in a low voice, "This afternoon's play is really mediocre, and these actors are not young , the typhoon is quite stable, and it doesn’t look like a newcomer. I feel that the level of this troupe is really not good.”

Grandma Zhang stood firmly on the side of her best friend: "I believe in Fang's taste, the big show tonight must be good!"
.
After the last little play in the afternoon, Jiang Qi and Wang Xinghua settled accounts in the background.

In fact, the work of calculating accounts should not be done by Wang Xinghua, the head of the theater, in theory. Do the math again for the financial statistics.

"How are the tea tickets in the afternoon?" Jiang Qi asked Wang Xinghua, who insisted on making a plan and didn't use a calculator.

In Wang Xinghua's words, planning is more sensible.

"The tea is not bad." Wang Xinghua said tactfully.

The attendance rate in the afternoon was good. The only regret is that everyone came to drink cheap lemon black tea/lemon green tea, not to watch the show.

The sales of lemon black tea/lemon green tea accounted for 9% of the total sales in the afternoon. Such an exaggerated proportion made Wang Xinghua think about whether to add iced black tea and herbal tea to the tea category in the future.

"Where's the ticket for tonight?" Jiang Qi asked again.

"Three boxes were reserved last night. The VIP tickets were all sold out, and the general tickets were mediocre. The occupancy rate on the first floor was about 1%. But the VIP tickets are in the front, so the front row is full. It looks like it can be quite a lot without shivering."

"Oh." Jiang Qi sighed deeply.

Sure enough, if you don't buy tea to send to the theater, the sales of this ticket will drop immediately.

Jiang Qi understands that the VIP tickets can be sold out, now there is a special offer for the opening, half price for ordinary tickets, and a pot of tea and a small dish of melon seeds for VIP tickets.The original price of ordinary tickets is 20 yuan and the current price is 10 yuan, and the VIP ticket is 60 yuan with free tea and melon seeds.

After a little introduction, the audience will feel that the VIP ticket is similar to the tea ticket in the afternoon, but the big show in the evening is long and the fee is expensive, so they are definitely willing to choose the 60 VIP ticket.

It's just that the number of VIP tickets in the theater is relatively small, accounting for only 20% of the total number of tickets. After all, VIP seats occupy too much space.But now that theater ticket sales are so poor, Jiang Qi thinks that the proportion of VIP tickets can be increased appropriately, anyway, the tables and chairs in the theater are all ready-made.

"Don't be too pessimistic. After all, it's the first day of opening. The troupe has such a process. Once the word-of-mouth sings, they won't have to worry about selling tickets." Wang Xinghua began to comfort Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi said that he could not worry, and stood up: "I will call and inform the performers in Taiping Town, and let them all come to the theater later to join in the show, and those who have not been notified before will also come."

The theater's publicity plan originally had NPCs from Taiping Town come to the theater to watch the show, but Jiang Qi didn't expect the ticket sales of the night's big show to be so poor, only 40% of the tickets were sold.Now there are so many vacancies, you can call all the NPCs who have nothing to do.

"Then where do they sit? All the tickets for the VIP seats are sold out, so why don't they just sit in the ordinary seats in the back row?" Wang Xinghua asked.

Jiang Qi nodded: "According to people's design, everyone is ordinary people, and it's normal to sit in ordinary seats."

"That's right." Wang Xinghua felt that it was reasonable, and went on to settle the score.

Jiang Qi didn't sit down, but turned around and went to the dressing room.

Opera actors basically have to do their own makeup. Even Feng Ling, the mainstay, does not have a dedicated makeup artist. He does everything from hair accessories to makeup by himself.At this time, the actors who are going to be on stage at night are basically preparing in the dressing room and dressing room.Jiang Qi took a look. In the dressing room, apart from Feng Ling, the actors who played the eldest sister, fifth sister, and sixth sister were also putting on makeup, and their costumes were already up.

The price of custom-made costumes for "Heavenly Match" is much higher than that of "Meng Lijun".No way, gods, you always have to dress nicely and dress up nicely.Moreover, there are more characters in "Pairing the Immortals" than in "Meng Lijun". At the beginning, a group of fairies appeared on the stage. These fairies and actors in beautiful costumes are very rare.

Because the amusement park has a clothing factory that specializes in cooperating with high-end, high-end and low-end costumes, Wang Xinghua and Feng Ling did not use materials that are bright on the surface and poor on the inside in order to save costs when customizing costumes. They used good materials. .

Of course, it can't compare with the Su embroidery that Feng Ling brought.

The costumes of Huangmei Opera are beautiful, the style is very similar to Hanfu, the makeup is not exaggerated, and the headgear can be made very gorgeous. As long as you are willing to spend money, the look will definitely look good.

Among these ordinary actors in the troupe, female actors are generally willing to play "The Match of the Immortals", male actors are generally willing to play "The Legend of the Emperor", and Feng Ling is more willing to play "Meng Lijun".

Feng Ling saw Jiang Qi through the mirror.

"Boss." Feng Ling greeted Jiang Qi with a smile. Seeing that Jiang Qi looked worried, he asked, "Can the tickets be sold?"

"Not very good." Jiang Qi shook his head.

"It's normal, it's like this when it just opened." Feng Ling's opinion is similar to Wang Xinghua's. "I heard that Miss Jiang Bing will come to see tonight."

"Correct."

If Jiang Qi is a half-layman when it comes to watching theater, then Jiang Bing is a pure layman-she always thought that the story of Tianxian and Cowherd and Weaver Girl was a story.

Jiang Bing didn't come to yesterday's internal performance, but today's opening special Jiang Bing said that he must come to support the performance, and then spent a huge sum of money to buy a VIP seat for 60 yuan.

She didn't even want to spend 1000 yuan to book a box.

It can be seen that the sister-brother relationship between her and Jiang Qi is worth 60 yuan.

No more, 1000 yuan is too much.

Because Jiang Bing does not sit in a box, and the three upstairs boxes with the best views have been reserved by Nangongfang, Jiang Qi does not sit in a box tonight, and sits in the first row of VIPs with Jiang Bing, Jiang Xiaoliang and Qiao Huifang seat.

By the way, Jiang Xiaoliang and Qiao Huifang also bought tickets at 60 each.

What does this mean?
This means that Jiang Qi's family needs to drink three pots of tea tonight.

At 4:57, the audience in the theater was basically seated.

Jiang Qi sat in the first row and couldn't quite see what was going on behind him.I don't know if it's because the audience is too excited to speak loudly, or because there are really many people, Jiang Qi feels that today's attendance rate is more than 1%.

"Sister." Jiang Qi poked Jiang Bing's arm, "Stand up and see if there are many people behind you."

"Why don't you stand up and watch yourself?" Jiang Bing complained so much, but stood up honestly, weighed his feet, stretched his neck, and even jumped a few times to look behind.

"There are quite a lot of people, it seems that the seats are almost full."

"It's full?!" Jiang Qi was shocked, "How is it possible? Only 04% of the tickets were sold at 30:4!"

"If you don't believe me, look for yourself. A lot of people are chatting with NPCs in Taiping Town. The arrangement of your location is very interesting. Each NPC sits separately, which is convenient for everyone to chat."

Jiang Qi took the time to send a message asking Jiang Cha what's going on.

It's unreliable to ask other people, Jiang Cha is more reliable, she should have seen it with her own eyes.

Soon Jiang Cha sent a message back to tell Jiang Qi that the reason why the remaining 6% of the tickets were sold out was very simple, because basically all the NPCs in Taiping Town were mobilized.Many customers thought it was a special event and followed suit to buy tickets. In the last 10 minutes, there was a long queue in front of the ticket window. This time, there were even more people queuing up to buy tickets, and the tickets were sold out in no time.

Jiang Qi: ...

That's outrageous, my family.

Wait until the stage starts to sing, and everyone finds that there is no special event tonight, just pure singing, will you feel cheated?
Would it be more embarrassing if halfway through the performance and more than half of the audience left the stage than only 4% attendance?
Feng Ling, it's up to you!
Jiang Qi silently broke out in a cold sweat for Feng Ling.

At 5 o'clock sharp, "Heavenly Match" started on time.

As the lights go out and then go down, as all the lights in the auditorium go out, the whole theater changes from noisy to quiet. No matter what purpose everyone buys tickets for, at the beginning of the play, everyone chooses Shut up and turn your eyes to the stage.

On the stage, Feng Ling stood tall and tall. The costumes on her body were radiant and beautiful. They were quite exquisite and beautiful. The headgear was simple and luxurious. People could tell at a glance that this little girl must be playing a fairy .

As soon as Feng Ling opened her mouth, everyone's eyes were on her and they couldn't take their eyes off her.

"The Heavenly Palace is too deserted..."

Feng Ling's clear and melodious voice echoed throughout the theater.

In the private room on the second floor, staring at the stage, holding my breath in my heart, hugging me tonight, I will definitely find fault, to prove that there is something wrong with Nangong Fang's taste, and I will kill that old lady Zhang after the play is over Mr. Yang stared at the stage in a daze.

Mr. Yang claimed that he had watched operas for most of his life, and the opera actors on the stage were changed one by one like leeks.He has been paired with a fairy since decades ago. I have seen many actors who sing seven fairies, tall, short, delicate, lively, round-faced, and oval-faced, but I have never seen such an actor who makes people feel ashamed when they open their mouths. I can't move my eyes.

The entire theater was silent, only Feng Ling's voice echoed in the theater.

"She can make the decision and take responsibility..." After Feng Ling sang the last line, the actors who played her fairy came to the stage.

For a while, the stage was colorful, and all of them were beautiful fairies who looked like fairies.

Obviously, everyone is equally good-looking fairy. Although the headdresses are different, they are evenly divided. Even Feng Ling is not the most outstanding among them, but the eyes of the big guys are still fixed on Feng Ling. Wherever she goes, her gaze changes. .

Because Jiang Qi has a certain immunity to the abilities of card characters, he actually didn't feel Feng Ling's real strength in singing when watching "The Legend of the Emperor".

"The Legend of the Empress" is a play where the plot and the protagonist's character are greater than the singing and acting skills of the protagonist. When Jiang Qi watched "The Legend of the Empress", he didn't dare to distract himself because he was afraid of missing the plot, and he was afraid that he would just eavesdrop on the chatting next door on the stage. The small boss is gone.

When he watched "The Queen's Biography", he felt that the princess herself was very charming. In addition to Feng Ling's singing and acting skills, the queen's extremely brilliant personality was also one of the important factors.

Who doesn't love a decisive heroine?
Such a unique and charismatic heroine is a bonus from the very beginning.

In addition, "The Legend of the Emperor" itself is the original Feng Jiaban tailor-made for Feng Ling as the main heroine. Except for the emperor, the rest are supporting roles, and there is no role that is evenly matched with her. The setting and appearance of all the characters The meaning is to set off the princess, so "The Legend of the Queen" strengthens the charm of the characters themselves and weakens the charm of the actors themselves.

But in today's "Pairing of Immortals", Jiang Qi felt the charm of opera for the first time.

He knows the plot.

"Pairing of Immortals" is such a well-known story that Jiang Qi has watched several versions of the TV series adapted from "Pairing of Immortals" since he was a child. Even Jiang Bing, who has never watched a drama, knows the subsequent development of the plot.

Not to mention that Jiang Qi specially watched the full version of "Heavenly Match" when he was cramming for drama some time ago.

But he just couldn't move his eyes away, he just wanted to watch the Seven Fairies on the stage.

So what if you know the plot?So what if you know what to play next?Even know what words the actors will sing, and how to sing the words?

nice!

What is staged is beautiful!
Sounds great!

Feng Ling sings really well!

It is this ability that allows you to look forward with expectation when you know everything.

From the beginning of the performance to the end of the first performance, there was no sound from the audience.

Jiang Bing next to Jiang Qi even kept his head raised by 30 degrees and did not move. It was not until the end of the first round that he moved his neck as if waking up from a dream, and found that his neck was so sore.

Jiang Qi, who is immune to skills, can watch it attentively, not to mention ordinary viewers who are blessed by Feng Lingtai's pillar buff.

"Ah, it hurts, did I twist my neck?" Jiang Bing moaned softly while clutching his neck, "Quick, bro, grab me a handful of melon seeds and make up for it."

Jiang Qi: ?
Jiang Xiaoliang thoughtfully grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds for his daughter.

"Sister, how are you doing? Did you sing well?" Jiang Qi looked proud.

"Not bad." Jiang Bing nodded again and again, but the speed of nodding was a bit slow as if he was stuck, "I always thought that the birds in pairs on the tree were the first sentence in the opening scene of "Pairing the Immortals", so it wasn't. .”

Jiang Qi: ...

Who sings the climax in the opening sentence of the play?

It is impossible for "The Legend of the Emperor" to kill the emperor at the beginning!

Oh, sister who doesn't know how to play.

The box on the second floor, where Mr. Yang was, was eerily silent.

Even Nangong Fang, who had been full of praise for Feng Ling yesterday, was silent at this moment.

She thought she was fine yesterday, but she didn't expect it to be even better today.

It turned out that what Boss Xiaojiang said was true. "The Legend of the Empress" was really not officially performed because the troupe did not have enough rehearsals and the run-in was not very good.

"Okay!" Mr. Yang shouted belatedly and applauded frantically.

"oops!"

His loud yell startled Grandma Zhang next to him, and she cursed angrily, "Old Yang, why are you so crazy? Is the cheering for now? You didn't cheer at the end and now it's scary now. The second round is about to begin.”

Just as we were talking, the second round began.

Grandma Zhang swallowed back the curse words that were already on her lips, and Mr. Yang swallowed back the words that wanted to fight back. Grandma Xu put away the expression of wanting to eat melons. Grandma knocked half of the melon seeds and stopped in the air.

Everyone began to concentrate on watching the play.

Quarreling or something, wait until the second game is over before continuing to quarrel.

The play is bigger than the sky.

Even if the Heavenly King Laozi is here, we have to wait until the second show is over!
"It turns out that Huangmei Opera is so beautiful." A young girl sighed in the audience of ordinary seats.

"Hush." ​​The companion next to her hissed in a low voice like a thief, "Dong Yong is about to appear on the stage, so nervous, I don't know what will happen next!"

Young girl: ?

Don't act like you didn't watch TV when you were a kid, sister.

Don't you know what will happen next?The queen mother beats the mandarin ducks, sister, before the two of us came in, didn't you complain that there are still people willing to watch such an old drama "Heavenly Pairing".

woo woo woo woo.

Although Dong Yong has not yet appeared on the stage, the young girl's heart broke into several pieces when she thought that the lovely, beautiful, lively and lively Seven Fairies would be beaten by the Queen Mother after experiencing the baptism of sweet love.

Wuwuwuwu, Queen Mother, you are so cruel, why are you so cruel to our poor little fairy!

Woo woo woo woo.
