Chapter 115 Officially Begins

Silent all night.

After the news that Shen Ge was going to perform at the People's Theater was on the hot search, there was a growing trend. It was obviously just an ordinary performance. Maybe it was because many people were looking forward to his show, or maybe it was because others Seeing that other people are buying movie tickets frantically, the reason why I joined them out of curiosity is that even though it is already late at night, the price of movie tickets is still being speculated on the Internet, even to the point of 900 yuan a piece.

Maybe many people who don't understand the situation and just want to join in the fun don't know what the show is about. Maybe they just see so many people rushing for tickets and think some big star is holding a concert.

Because the ticket price of 900 yuan is actually a bit low for a big star, so everyone doesn't think it is expensive.

It's just that many people don't know that in this era, the ticket price of an opera is very low, and sometimes it doesn't even cost money to buy, but is used as a bonus gift to others.

For some small troupes, a ticket is only thirty or forty, forty or fifty yuan; the more expensive front row seats, or some famous masters performing in big theaters, the ticket price will be a little more expensive.But there will never be more than four or five hundred.

Even the scalpers are mainly targeting the event tickets of various celebrities, and they don't like the performances in the opera world at all, and they don't bother to waste money.

However, even though the ticket price of the performance has been exorbitantly exalted by everyone, the Kunqu Opera Institute does not plan to change to a bigger theater.

After all, their original intention was to perform the Kunqu Opera "Legend of the White Snake" for some veterans and fans in the opera industry. It was only later that Shen Ge wanted to borrow a venue to perform, so they changed to the larger People's Theater.

Since they had no intention of making a lot of money from this from the very beginning, when many people on the Internet suggested that they move to a larger venue, the Kunqu Opera Institute rejected them one by one.

I have been in the declining opera industry for many years. Since its establishment, the Kunqu Opera Research Institute has seen the rise and fall of many industries. Not only the seniors like Jiang Muliang and Lin Lao, but also the young actors in the opera club. If they don’t really love this industry , I have already transferred to other industries. After all, there are many crafts that can make money, so why bother staying in the opera world.

Nowadays, they are naturally happy that the ticket price has been raised to nearly a thousand yuan, but in the final analysis, a large part of it is mainly for the famous opera stars and idol Shen Ge who came to watch the performance. Some unknowingly formed hype effects made the original ticket price of [-] so expensive, and fans and audiences rushed to buy it.

Jiang Muliang, Lin Lao, Shen Ge and Su Lin discussed this topic when they were chatting.

In their opinion, unless the popularity of a certain actor or a certain play attracts so many audiences, in this case, it would be more reasonable to change to a bigger venue at the request of the audience. Otherwise, just to see the popularity and cater to the audience in order to earn more real money, it is inevitable that the eyes will be blinded by the money and the heart will be lost.

If that's the case, if you think about it carefully, it's somewhat similar to today's entertainment circle, where various topics and enthusiasm are created through trolls and hype to harvest fans' leeks.Actors and singers sell their personalities, not their own craftsmanship...

In the past, whenever Master Mei Lanfang had a performance, almost everyone would go to see his performance, and he even had the nickname "Mei Bancheng", because people jokingly said at that time that Master Mei Lanfang was worth as much as Buying half of Yanjing City, this shows how popular Meizu is in the north and south of the river.

Now that the opera industry is in decline, and people have more and more entertainment methods, it is difficult to see the "empty alley" scene again, but most opera actors still look forward to seeing it one day, although they are sure It can't reach the glory of the four famous actors at that time, but at least there must be the scene of today's scrambling for tickets and hard to get a ticket.

……

Early the next morning, Shen Ge and Li Ying took a taxi and went directly to the People's Theater. They thought they had woken up early enough, but they didn't expect that when they got here, they heard Su Lin who was busy at the door Said that they had come more than an hour earlier, couldn't help admiring, and then walked into the theater with him.

Back then, he and Bai Huawei had come here to watch a young actor's performance of "Lock Linsang", and he also obtained the charm of the Mei school here, but it was the first time to enter the backstage.

The layout of the backstage is very similar to that of most theaters. Although there are not often performances here, everything is clean and new, without a trace of dust. It seems that someone cleans it every day and maintains it to perfection.It can be said that the entire theater is now considered a work of art, and today, they will perform another art that fits him on this work of art.

"Anyway, it's still early for the performance, and we can still rehearse backstage."

Su Lin said with a smile: "Don't say it, the feeling of rehearsing here is different from rehearsing in the music club, but I can't say exactly what it is."

Shen Ge smiled slightly. This is the problem he encountered before. Performing on stage and practicing in private are two completely different feelings, mysterious and unusual, and even the speed of practice is affected.

Looking at the rows of seats under the stage, Su Lin sighed and said: "To be honest, this is the first time I performed with a full house. I performed in other theaters before, and the most crowded one was also It’s only 80.00%, almost no full house. A few days ago you performed in the Bird’s Nest, I don’t know if we in the Chinese opera industry have a chance to use this stage.”

"The stage of tens of thousands of people was easy to step on in the previous era, but now, it is really difficult." Shen Ge nodded and said.

"I see that under the comments of your video, many people, including those who sent messages to the official account of our music club, are asking for the live broadcast of today's performance." Speaking of this, he smiled, "After all, the People's Theater is a bit bigger , but there are still not enough seats, and many people still failed to get tickets to watch. It was just rejected by my master, because it was just a simple performance, there is no need to make it too grand, that would be too Trouble."

Shen Ge echoed: "There is not much popularity in the opera world, but there is no need to rely on these to maintain the popularity. What's more, it is already a bit troublesome to change the venue temporarily, and it will be even more troublesome if it is broadcast live, so we should focus on The performance was better, anyway, there will be a video for fans to watch later.”

"Yes," Su Lin nodded, "Do you want to rehearse?"

After thinking for a while, Shen Ge shook his head slightly: "No need."

Seeing what he said, Su Lin stopped talking to him. After saying hello, he went backstage to rehearse with a group of young actors.

"Before I only knew that you knew Meipai Tsingyi, but after you came to the capital, I found out that you knew Kunqu opera. I didn't expect you to sing Laosheng..." Li Ying said in disbelief, "I never knew that when I was in Chuzhou. I saw you sing before, and you hid it too well. Besides, do you have any other talents that I don't know about?!"

After hearing her words, Shen Ge raised his eyebrows.

Other talents?
It seems that she doesn't know only musical instruments...

"Maybe there are one or two."

After thinking about it, he replied like this.

Li Ying: "..."

"May I ask, who did you learn from?"

Shen Ge thought of Teacher Yan Xingpeng, and smiled slightly, "I learned it from a mysterious person in the park."

Li Ying: "..."

Do you think that you are Duan Yu and Zhang Wuji, that if you fall off a cliff, you will have an adventure, learn a trick or two, and learn from an expert.

However, thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at Shen Ge again. Such an achievement can be achieved at a young age, even if she is extremely talented, but if there is no guidance from a master in the opera world, no one will believe it.Maybe, he really had such an adventure.

Sometimes, when you think someone is telling a lie, he may actually be telling the truth.

For a while, Li Ying's gaze changed a little when she looked at him.

Shen Ge noticed it, and didn't know what was going on in her mind, coughed lightly, turned around to watch Su Lin and the others go to rehearse.

The performance starts at ten o'clock. After all, this performance won't last too long. It's just a discount of "Legend of the White Snake" and Shen Ge's performance.

Audiences have been arriving at the entrance of the theater since eight o'clock, but the performance has not yet started, and they sat in their seats and waited after entering.

In addition, there are still some people who have not bought tickets outside the theater wandering back and forth. Because this performance was not broadcast live, many people feel very sorry. Although there will be a video after the end, it cannot When I saw this performance for a while, I always felt a little bit uncomfortable.

So some people want to come to the door to try their luck, maybe they can meet people or scalpers who don’t want to watch the show, and maybe they can temporarily buy tickets to enter the factory.

It's just that their idea is probably difficult to realize, because tickets are so hard to find now, even if someone can't come to watch the show because of something, they must have already made a deal with others, and those who can come here with tickets will not come easily Sell ​​the ticket to someone else.

As for scalpers, it is even more impossible to exist.Because they have never paid attention to the performance dynamics in the opera world from the beginning to the end, so naturally they did not take the lead in taking most of the tickets into their own hands.

When Shen Ge released the news that he was going to perform at the People's Theater and went on the hot search, many scalpers didn't pay attention. In their eyes, Shen Ge was still just a small Internet celebrity; not to mention that there was no star I would choose to perform in a small place like the People's Theater. After all, there are only so many audiences that can be accommodated. No matter how many people there are, there will be no more people.

It was only when the tickets for the show were fired to a certain extent that they suddenly realized that they had really misread it this time. They didn't expect so many people to listen to the opera now, but although they realized it, the tickets were already sold out. It's all gone, and they will find no way to get it from others, and there will be no profit, so they can't help but give up the idea in their hearts.

So there are no scalpers at the gate of the People's Theater today, and people who thought of buying tickets from them probably will return empty-handed.

Time passed by every minute and every second, many people entered the venue one after another, and the seats were filled with people. You can see that there are many fashionable young people in the audience, and most of them are girls. It's a fan who came for Brother Shen.

The seats in the front row were mostly older people, many of whom were famous masters of various genres in the opera world, who were invited by Jiang Muliang to watch and join in the show.

Therefore, the circles of young and old movie fans are clearly separated, and the well water does not violate the river water.

After seeing this scene, Shen Ge knew that all of this must have been arranged by Jiang Muliang, because there is definitely a generation gap between young people and old people, and their favorite objects are also different, some are for Shen Ge, some are against Come with famous opera actors.

Although those who like Shen Ge must know something about the show he is going to perform, but there are too many people talking, and it is hard to guarantee that there will be no problems. If the old people and young people have a slight conflict, no matter what the final result is, it is very important for them. This show is all bad.

"I just heard from the master that there will be many big names in the opera world coming, but I didn't expect so many to come," Su Lin, who had already put on makeup, said to Shen Ge in a low voice in the background, "Kunqu opera and Peking opera, as well as Some big names from other music genres have come, some of them know each other, and some of them have only seen it in the video."

Shen Ge nodded. Although he has known everyone in the Kunqu Opera Research Club for a long time, he has never met other people in the opera world, so he doesn't know most of the people in the audience, but he is looking for information When I was there, I had seen the introductions of several masters in the audience, and I knew them well, knowing their names and the genres they belonged to.

"I know them, but no one else knows me."

As he said that, Shen Ge smiled wryly: "It is estimated that many old theater fans in the audience are puzzled. The performance is just performed. How come there is a young boy who has never heard of the name performing on the stage. If it weren't for me, I still have fans. Support, maybe when you finish performing "Legend of the White Snake", the audience in the audience will walk away, it's quite embarrassing to think about it."

"That won't happen."

Su Lin shook his head, "Your strength is so strong, you can attract everyone as soon as you open your mouth. It is estimated that no one will leave halfway. Besides, the show you are going to perform has been publicized, and many people should be looking forward to it. Reading your "Siro Visits His Mother: Sitting in the Palace"!"

"Yes!"

Li Ying nodded agreeingly, "It doesn't seem to be something you should care about if no one is watching. We will only feel that you are showing off when you say such things."

Shen Ge: "..."

At ten o'clock, the performance officially began.

　Thanks wiank for the reward!
