my gilded age

Chapter 57 I have never seen such a brazen person!
Yinding Bridge is one of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing. At this time, a man and a woman were smoking.

"Gu Zhixin is gone, what will happen to Pei Kuishan?"

"Let Zhang Mo act."

"Ha ha……"

"What are you laughing at?"

"I just wanted to laugh. What about the special correspondent?"

"Let Lao Zhou come out and challenge him. He is so thin, with makeup on, he is definitely a sinister and cunning person."

"Hehehe...cough cough..."

"Look, don't laugh when I tell you to smoke. You're already coughing... Well, classmate Feng Ru, don't you want to discuss something else with me?"

"is it necessary?"

"As expected of an old classmate, he has confidence in me."

"Haha... Anyway, even if I pay compensation, I will only pay [-] yuan. You have to accompany twenty people. You are not afraid. What should I be afraid of?"

"Well, when I sold it for 20 yuan, was it handsome?"

"Hahaha... so stupid."

I was smoking well at first, but now I can't stop laughing.

There is no way, the Chinese opera campus is too small, it is not easy to smoke, everyone is still a student, the impression is really bad, and the scenery here is good, the Beijing flavor is very strong, now is not the kind of hutong cultural ancient street pretended to be in later generations, so Bai Shiqiu Feng Ru and I like coming here.

Of course, what they were talking about was the current issue of "The Appearance of Lu Deshui". Both of them were investors, and the feeling was more business-like. But now, Feng Ru took a deep breath and put out the cigarette.

"..." He didn't speak.

Bai Shiqiu stretched out a hand, and the cigarette butt fell into his hand. He stopped smoking. He also stubbed out the cigarette butt, and they fell here to make a couple.

Feng Ru still didn't say anything, and directly clamped Bai Shiqiu's other hand, and then moved it to her chest...

"How is it compared to that Haruko Akagi?"

What else could Bai Shiqiu say?

"Big."

……

After Yindingqiao returned from smoking, Bai Shiqiu decided to focus on fighting Song Qingyu. Now it seems that Bai Shiqiu's situation is quite bad, but there is one thing about this guy that is very admirable. He always has a smile on his face.

Mount Tai collapses but does not change color?

In fact, it is time for a big drama prepared by Bai Shiqiu to take place.

If Mr. Xu helps with the approval process, then this should be no problem. This is equivalent to China Theater stepping up to the plate. China Theater vs. Beijing Film Academy is indeed very interesting.

The other thing is the scenery and costumes. Fortunately, there is still more than a month until January 1th. As long as you have enough money, there should be no problem. 25+ is definitely OK.

The rest is to rehearse the play. We have been rehearsing for so long, everyone is in good condition, and in some parts, it was really a matter of teamwork and collective wisdom, and a lot of modifications were made.Now, with Gu Zhixin leaving the team, Bai Shiqiu's trick is to move Zhou Shen to the top and make a personnel change. In terms of time, there shouldn't be any big problem.

There are still two things to worry about now. One is that there is not enough manpower, and the other is the biggest problem, finding a theater.

There were not enough manpower, so Bai Shiqiu picked up the phone and called for someone.

And this theater is definitely very difficult to chew.

……

Capital Theater is one of the best performance venues in Beijing. With more than 500 seats, it stands out.

The market for stage plays in our country does not seem to be very good at the moment. It is basically concentrated in the capital and Shanghai. The Capital Theater is one of the few theaters that can maintain profitability in this year.

There's no way, movies don't make money these days, it's good if people watch musicals and plays. Of course, if it's some big names, such as Meng Jinghui, who was very popular last year, this guy's new-school drama, the box office It's very impressive, but there are only a few dramas like this.

Manager Zhang is in charge of operations. To put it simply, he is in charge of rental theaters. He is naturally very familiar with the stage play market. He has some idea of ​​what kind of plays can sell for money.

New-school stage plays are like Meng Jinghui's. I'm not saying that the old plays in the past are not good. Whether it's the script or the costumes, scenery and actors, they are all very skilled, but the box office is just mediocre.But the new dramas are different, really different...

Where is the difference?
In terms of words, words are important in dramas, but the lines of new-style dramas are really dare to say anything.

Not long ago, I received a new drama, and people are looking forward to it at the box office. So, the time was arranged to coincide with the Spring Festival. The 25th is the second day of the Lunar New Year. There is no New Year's Eve during the Spring Festival this year. People who watch the drama during the Spring Festival There are quite a few, so what movie doesn’t have a Lunar New Year slot?So do we.

Today, Manager Zhang heard that someone had brought a new opera actor and wanted to talk about the venue rental. He was also a Chinese opera student.

"Your name……"

"Bai Shiqiu, hello, Manager Zhang."

"Hello."

When Manager Zhang saw him, he saw that this guy was a handsome guy. I had heard before that he didn’t care about his face when he got into the exam. Could it be that he is now studying with Beijing Film Academy?
Forget it, no matter how much it is, let’s talk about rent.

"Our Capital Theater now generally quotes 1 yuan per performance, but in order to encourage young students, China National Theater is also an old friend of ours who has collaborated with us many times, so the price per performance is 8000 yuan."

"Manager Zhang, you only got a discount of two thousand?"

Bai Shiqiu is here to talk about the theater today. This is a stage play, and the theater is the key, especially since he is not particularly familiar with the current rental situation of the Beijing Theater. Although he has inquired about it from some channels, he still has to come in person. Look, and now...

Capital Theater, such a famous place, only costs [-] yuan per performance?
It's so cheap, and there's a discount of 2000, but...

"2000 is not bad. You are students, and you are also in the Chinese drama industry. You are old partners, so that's fine."

"Manager Zhang, we are students and we really don't have much money. After making scenery and clothes, our hands are clean. Please give us a discount."

"Ah? You want a discount?" "We are students..."

Bai Shiqiu showed the same enthusiasm as when he bought the guitar. Anyway, he was wasted on you, Manager Zhang.

Manager Zhang obviously rarely sees such an opponent, and he doesn't know about the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun, so his head is getting bigger and bigger.

But where is the Capital Theater?
"At least 7000! It can't go any lower!" Manager Zhang sweated profusely. He swore he had never met a student who could bargain like this.

Bai Shiqiu took advantage of the victory and pursued it, "Can't you give me 5000? Love is always the same across thousands of rivers and mountains, so can I just give you 5000?"

Put that way, it's pretty cool.

"No! You kid..."

"Let's get a wholesale price. We were planning to perform five shows in a row, so it's 5000 per show."

"what?"

Under Bai Shiqiu's powerful offensive, Manager Zhang finally wavered.

"These five performances are like this. I hope the first one will be on the 1th of January next year. The following performances can be arranged as you wish. In other words, during the off-season of the Kyoto Theater and when there is a need to fill in the drama, just Let’s do it, it’ll be nice.”

"Yes, Classmate Bai, your plan is very good." Manager Zhang smiled.

The current stage play market is really not very good. Even the Kyoto Theater is not fully booked every day.

"Classmate Bai, can you tell me the truth? Your family is quite rich, right?" Manager Zhang thought that only a rich family could go through such trouble.

"My parents are both laid-off workers."

After Bai Shiqiu confessed like this, Manager Zhang understood that the money was probably collected by their students, so he felt a little unbearable.

"The drama market is not very good now..." He said a lot of warning words.

"Thank you, thank you very much." Bai Shiqiu spoke the truth.

What Manager Zhang really wants to say is:
You stupid boys, just wait to lose money!
But when Manager Zhang told some details, for example, there is a drama scheduled for the 25th, and you can only follow them, and Bai Shiqiu agreed, then you had to ask what drama it was.

""The Appearance of Lu Deshui"?"

"Yes, if nothing else happens, the plot will not be much different from the previous "Donkey Gets Water"."

"You, you..." Manager Zhang glared at the boss, "Aren't you afraid that they will sue you..."

"It's me who infringes the law, it has nothing to do with you." Bai Shiqiu smiled.

"You, you... you are a madman!"

But at this time, Bai Shiqiu was extremely ordinary, "Do you think I look like a madman?"

Manager Zhang swore that he would always remember what he shouted today.

……

Entering 2001, Song Qingyu has been in a good mood, and his play will finally be released.

About a year ago, I was threatened by that Bai Shiqiu. What evidence did that guy have? Where is the evidence?
Hahaha……

Right now, this drama belongs to him, Song Qingyu.

When it was the 25th in a few days, Song Qingyu suddenly received a piece of news.

"What? "The Appearance of Lu Deshui"?"

"It's a group of students, led by Bai Shiqiu. They did it, and they're going to stage it in the Kyoto Theater!"

"What?! Still the same day?"

"It's really too much!"

The leaders of Qing Opera were angry, but due to cost and time considerations, they finally decided that on the day of the performance of "Donkey Gets Water", they would strongly condemn Bai Shiqiu, a student who blatantly plagiarized.

On January 2001, 1, there were naturally many audiences and theater fans at the Capital Theater today, but today, many reporters also came, obviously preparing to make big news.

After the performance of "The Donkey Gets Water" by Dangqing Opera, there was a round of applause.

The leader of Qing Opera came out to speak, and in full view of the public, witnessed by the audience and journalists, he condemned the production of "The Appearance of Lu Deshui" by Yizhan Drama Theater. Next, it was the teacher Song Qingyu who spoke.

"Here! I express my indignation! How can we Chinese dramatists do such despicable things!..."

Teacher Song Qingyu was impassioned and strongly criticized what Chinese drama student Bai Shiqiu had done.

Now, we want to criticize Bai Shiqiu and his "The Appearance of Lu Deshui", and Song Qingyu also said so.

"I will also take up legal weapons to defend my rights..."

But at this moment, there was a roar in the Capital Theater!

"I've never seen such a brazen person!"

In the Capital Theater, there were more than 1500 spectators and reporters. All they saw was a handsome guy with an angry face, walking away from everyone in the direction of Song Qingyu...
