A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 155 No one will always be prosperous, but some people will always be poor! (4k)

Sometimes, it's really hard to hide a person's dog?
For the performance of this drama.

Worried that Jiang Hai would forget, Senior Sister Xiao Linyu even told Jiang Hai three days in advance:
"The first performance of The Injustice of Dou E will be at 5pm on Friday. This performance is very important and many authorities in the field of drama will be there. You must not be late."

Unexpectedly, this world is a huge Murphy's Law. The more you worry about something, the more likely it will come.

Even if Jiang Hai was told the news three days in advance, he would still dare to be late, and be extremely late?
On my side, the drama is about to start, and you just left the house?
Did you remember to find a lawyer after being sentenced?

Do you remember to review after the college entrance examination?
Looking at the message Jiang Hai sent to me:

“I’m at the school gate.”

Even Xiao Linyu, who always had a Buddhist temper, couldn't help but be speechless because of Jiang Hai's anger:
"Good for you."

Frankly speaking, Jiang Hai, as the person involved, does bear some responsibility for getting the time wrong.

But facts aside.

Is it true that Senior Sister Xiao Linyu, who is also Jiang Hai's partner, really has no responsibility at all?

If you remind me again three hours in advance, will I be late?

If you had given me a warning in advance not to be late before the audience entered, would I have been there by now?

"Aside from the facts?"

Facing Jiang Hai's sudden heavy punch.

Even though Xiao Linyu was a girl, she couldn't resist:

"Okay, stop talking about this useless stuff, just come here quickly."

Looking at the domestic situation, drama is actually a relatively niche form of performance?

To put it simply, it is a bit like a movie but different from traditional movies.

Although they all sat in the audience to watch the movie.

But movies are projection products, which are a kind of visual communication product.

Drama, on the other hand, is a performance, a real stage scene.

In other words-

The artistic attributes of drama are stronger than those of movies!
In the field of drama, there are many Chinese writers who are good at writing drama scripts. Among them, the more famous drama creators include: Lao She, Cao Yu, Guo Moruo, Hu Shi, Tian Han and so on.
In fact, there is indeed a certain threshold for watching movies and dramas?

A more intuitive threshold is the audience’s cultural literacy.

If not a high-level intellectual with spiritual pursuits, few people would pay attention to something like drama?
Not all cities have buildings like theaters. For ordinary people in small cities, even if they want to watch a play and experience this unique form of performance, they may not be able to find a place to watch a play at all?
In addition to the hard conditions of personal cultural literacy and theater venues, there is another reason that greatly affects the promotion of drama -

That's the ticket price!
Compared to a movie that costs thirty or forty yuan per show, watching a complete drama can easily cost three or four hundred yuan.

Nowadays, the price of drama tickets in China is generally between two hundred and four hundred yuan.

For a working class, ordinary people, after work and leisure time——

Are you willing to spend thirty or forty dollars to go to the cinema to watch a thrilling action blockbuster?

Or are you willing to bear the pain of spending one or two days' salary and three or four hundred dollars to watch a stage play that lasts about an hour and a half?
This result may be obvious?
It is precisely based on the rigid requirement of watching movies and dramas that when arriving at Chenghai Grand Theater, along the way——

Jiang Hai saw all kinds of beautiful women.

You can't say that movie and play audiences are all rich.

You can only say that the vast majority of the audience who like stage performances and watch plays three or four times a month.
Maybe you're not that short of money?
Chenghai Grand Theater, lobby entrance.

Jiang Hai got out of the taxi with a cigarette in his mouth and shouted towards the driver's seat:
"Thank you, Master~"

Don't panic when you encounter something. Take out your phone and check your circle of friends first. Being late by one minute is still late, and being late by half an hour is still late.

Since you're going to be late anyway, why not just stay a little later?

Adhere to the life attitude that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

Jiang Hai got out of the taxi, but did not rush to the Chenghai Grand Theater. Instead, he stopped by the roadside and smoked silently.

Glancing at the people coming and going around him, Jiang Hai slowly exhaled a thick puff of smoke from his mouth:

"shuang"

Although he was late, Jiang Hai knew that the stage premiere of "The Injustice of Dou E" was not a big deal.

Although it is true that he is the creator of the script of "The Injustice of Dou E", all matters concerning rehearsals are left to Senior Sister Xiao Linyu.

In fact, whether he came to Chenghai Grand Theater or not, "The Injustice of Dou E" could still be performed. The reason why Xiao Linyu notified him that he must be there was because
Maybe it's more about wanting a sense of ceremony?
Chenghai Grand Theater is a famous building in Chenghai City and is usually not open to the public.

Ticketed audiences are only allowed entry on Fridays, weekends, and when there are stage performances such as plays, dramas, and musicals.

This theater is divided into three performance halls: the large theater, the medium theater, and the small theater.

The drama "The Injustice of Dou E" created by Jiang Hai was performed in the small theater.

As for the other two performance halls?
Jiang Hai stood at the door and glanced at the announcement -

The main performance in the Chinese Theatre is the musical "White Swan"

The main character in the Grand Theater is the drama "Tea House"

Thanks to the two extremely popular plays, "Tea House" and "Swan Lake", many audiences came to the Chenghai Grand Theater at 7 pm.

According to the admission data on the screen:

In the Grand Theater, the attendance rate of Lao She's drama "Tea House" reached an astonishing 80%.

In the Chinese Theater, although the attendance rate of Tchaikovsky's ballet "Swan Lake" was not as high as that of "Tea House", it also reached an astonishing 70%.

Generally speaking, for performances such as drama and musicals, normal performances are -

A 60% or higher attendance rate is considered excellent.

An attendance rate of over 65% is considered outstanding.

No matter whether it is a drama or an opera, any performance that can achieve an attendance rate of over 70% is considered a classic among classics.

Whether it is Mr. Cao Yu's "Thunderstorm", Mr. Lao She's "Teahouse", or classic dramas such as "Stage" and "White Deer Plain", they have gained a group of stable fans and audiences because of the good word-of-mouth effect after the exhibition, and the improvement of quality through the accumulation of quantity.

This results in the attendance rates of these classic dramas being generally high.

On the other hand, some new dramas that are not well-known and have uneven script quality, such as "The Injustice of Dou E" written by Jiang Hai.
Although, a group of university professors have been specially invited to watch.

But even so, its attendance rate didn’t even reach 40%?

A small theater that can accommodate 40 people had an attendance rate of less than %. Does this mean that the first stage performance of "The Injustice of Dou E" could not even gather audience members?

Jiang Hai stood at the door and fantasized silently:

"Isn't this premiere a bit too shabby?"

"When can I perform in a big theater like Teahouse, with one or two thousand audience members entering the theater at the same time?" Just as Jiang Hai was thinking about it, a sweet laugh beside him immediately attracted Jiang Hai's attention:

"Honey, please hurry up"

Sometimes, the world is not just a huge Murphy's Law, it is even full of coincidences.

When Jiang Hai thought the voice sounded familiar, the moment he looked up, a familiar figure appeared before him:

"Mu Tingting?"

It’s a bit embarrassing to say.

How could I meet an acquaintance in a place like this?
Mu Tingting, who always prided herself on being noble in school and was the fat man's goddess, was now walking into the theater arm in arm with an elderly middle-aged man, talking and laughing.

She and the uncle behaved very intimately, just like a couple in love.

"Honey, where are we going after the opera?"

“I’m worried it’s too late and I can’t get back to the dormitory.”

As if she was afraid that the other party would not understand her hint, Mu Tingting took up the iced Americano in her hand and shook it towards the uncle in a flattering manner:
"It's so hot today that I have to add ice to my coffee."

Don't know why.

Seeing Mu Tingting holding the middle-aged man's arm in arm, looking so intimate, Jiang Hai suddenly thought of a sentence:

"You said you liked the sea, but I never thought that the sea you liked was—"

“It’s the Mediterranean Sea?”

In the 21st century, everyone now advocates freedom of love.

Jiang Hai doesn't look at people through any colored filters.

Who says that a fifty-year-old man and an eighteen-year-old girl can’t have a sweet love?
The fifty-year-old uncle may look a little old with sparse hair on his head, but he is still approachable after all.

The eighteen-year-old girl, although her chest is slightly flat and not fully developed, is still in the prime of her life.

The reason why the two of them were able to get together, apart from the sincere feelings between them, was nothing more than -

A chairman, a sensible one!

Isn't this definitely a perfect match?
Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Jiang Hai was deeply moved and uttered:
"It turns out that the one who accompanies Snow White to the end may not necessarily be the prince, but may also be Mr. Wang."

The current situation is quite embarrassing.

Jiang Hai just wanted to come and watch a play, who could have thought that he would run into Mu Tingting and run into such a mess?
When Mu Tingting walked to the theater entrance with the middle-aged man, she looked up and saw Jiang Hai, and their eyes met.

The whole world froze.
Although this situation is quite common in college, when I witnessed this scene with my own eyes and learned that the girl being kept by 'Mr. Wang' was my classmate.

This feeling is quite strange?

Jiang Hai originally thought that Mu Tingting just liked fishing and playing with the innocent boy like Fatty, but who would have thought...
How could she do such a thing outside?
“What a play!”

To be honest, when Mu Tingting, wearing a hot short skirt, saw Jiang Hai at the theater entrance, she subconsciously lowered her head as if she was guilty of a crime, then quickened her pace and rushed directly into the theater.

But who would have thought that the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. She was just trying to pretend she didn't see it and get away with it.

Behind him, Jiang Hai's voice called out:
"Mu Tingting!"

The uncle who was hugging Mu Tingting was stunned for a moment, then he looked down at her and said, "Do you know her?"

"Ah, my classmate!" Mu Tingting forced a slightly awkward smile from her face, "Dear, go in and take a seat first, I will come to find you later"

Just agree with him and send the middle-aged man away.

Mu Tingting walked to Jiang Hai, her eyes wandering, not daring to look him in the face:

"Is something wrong?"

Jiang Hai didn't waste any words and directly brought out the topic:
"Mu Tingting, you don't want your classmates at school to know about your bad deeds outside, right?"

As a human being, you should always have some dignity.

Although Mu Tingting's behavior at school is usually a little bit unruly.

But this is different from being kept by someone outside.

If you go fishing at school and your classmates find out, they will probably just call you a sea king.

But if the news of being sponsored gets out, it will affect your reputation.
Then this matter might be a bit big?
I don’t know why, but when I heard Jiang Hai’s words, Mu Tingting suddenly became a little nervous.

She subconsciously took a step back:
"What do you want to do?"

Then, it was as if he had remembered something.

Mu Tingting said angrily:
"Jiang Hai, I, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person?"

"shame on you!"

To be honest, Mu Tingting might be thinking too much?
Although Jiang Hai has been single for twenty years, he shouldn't be so hungry, right?
"I'm a germaphobe, so I'm not interested in you." Jiang Hai said succinctly, and cut off Mu Tingting's thoughts with one sentence, and then warned her, "Stay away from Fatty from now on. If I find out that you're looking for Fatty to get gold coins again--"

"Then don't blame me for being rude."

The white moonlight you thought of was actually just a schoolgirl in the eyes of others?

At this moment, when Jiang Hai thought about how the fat man was obsessed with Mu Tingting in the past, he suddenly felt it was too ironic.

Light a cigarette.

Jiang Hai walked into the hall on his own.

"Girls won't always be in their prime, and boys won't always be poor and destitute."

"The so-called white moonlight is nothing more than lust for beauty in youth plus a little inferiority complex in the bones."

Stop thinking about these messy things.

Jiang Hai strode into the theater and came to the small theater with ease.

Although it is called a small theater, when you actually step into it, you can still clearly feel it——

The scale of this small theater is actually quite large?
On the stage, the drama actors are performing passionately.

Jiang Hai walked into the theater, looking for an empty seat to relax.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, Senior Sister Xiao Linyu came up to him eagerly:

"Jiang Hai, why are you here just now!"

Although he didn't have much contact time with Xiao Linyu, after spending some time with her, Jiang Hai could clearly feel that Xiao Linyu was usually a slow-tempered person. To make her so anxious, something must have happened?

"I was delayed by something on the way. What happened?"

Not paying any attention to what Jiang Hai said, Xiao Linyu just took Jiang Hai's hand and hurried to the front row:
"Teacher Tao, I'm almost going crazy looking for you"
