Huayu: Starting from managing the Mahua FunAge Theater Troupe

September 12, evening.

Having signed a preliminary agreement and received the script for "Struggle" and a ticket, Gao Yuanyuan immediately boarded a flight back to Guiyang.

She's busy filming "Shanghai Dreams" right now.

The original choice for the female lead in "Qinghong" was Wang Luodan, but she also took on another role in Hai Yan's drama "Deep Prison".

Due to issues with the casting of the male lead, filming for "Deep Prison" was delayed until October.

Wang Xiaoshuai waited until the end of November, but Wang Luodan still couldn't find the time.

Having run out of options, at the beginning of this month, Wang Xiaoshuai invited Gao Yuanyuan, with whom he had previously collaborated, to save the day.

Coincidentally.

At the end of November, Tian Youliang first sent out audition scripts to popular actresses in the industry.

Gao Yuanyuan also received audition scripts from Xia Lin and Mi Lai.

For the past few years, she has been stuck in the role of a pure and innocent girl.

Until this year, she was still playing a middle school student in "You Are Smiling But I Am Crying".

Gao Yuanyuan is already tired of playing this type of role.

Charlene and Miley showed her the possibility of a breakthrough.

Xia Lin is the kind of prickly woman in modern urban dramas who doesn't try to please anyone, which is completely different from her previous pure and innocent image.

Mi Lai is the ideal woman in urban dramas; she is someone who takes the initiative to love, let go, and fulfill others' wishes.

Gao Yuanyuan's previous roles were mostly passive characters, while Mi Lai is a character who actively makes choices; she chooses to love, chooses to wait, and chooses to let go.

In Gao Yuanyuan's opinion, these two urban woman-type characters are more attractive than Qinghong, who is crushed by fate.

Although Qinghong tried to shed her innocent image, she was ultimately still a tragic girl crushed by the times and fate, and her path was not fundamentally different from before.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to take leave to return to Beijing for auditions after only half a month on set.

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly; I got the chance to play Xia Lin that very day.

It takes about three hours to fly from Beijing to Guiyang.

Gao Yuanyuan opened the script.

There was a ticket tucked inside the script.

Tickets for the first national star-studded performance of the Happy Twist Troupe's 2004 Lunar New Year blockbuster, "Lost in Thailand".

On December 24th, Christmas Eve, at 12 PM, at the Beijing Exhibition Theater, Shen Teng starred in the performance.

He lives in Beijing and is also in the entertainment industry.

Gao Yuanyuan had heard of Happy Twist's stage comedies long ago.

Many of my friends have also been to see it.

According to their feedback, Happy Twist's plays are very new, even newer than avant-garde dramas. They can be considered completely mainstream plays, the only drawback being that they lack artistic merit and are primarily designed to elicit laughter from the audience.

To date, the representative figures and plays of avant-garde drama in China are Meng Jinghui and Liao Yimei, who directed and created "Rhinoceros in Love" in 1999.

Gao Yuanyuan has seen "Rhinoceros in Love" and many other stage plays.

She is very interested in stage performances and believes that only actors who can perform on the stage are true actors.

Happy Twist's stage comedies may not have the same artistic value as their plays, but Gao Yuanyuan is quite interested in them.

She hasn't seen it.

I'm naturally interested if I haven't seen it.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go see it.

Gao Yuanyuan felt quite regretful.

She never expected this month to be so busy.

She's the kind of person who works for a few months and then takes a few months off.

This month is supposed to be a rest period, but my career luck is soaring.

Could it be that even God thinks it's time for me to change my career path?

Gao Yuanyuan happily closed the script.

I'm not in a hurry to watch it. I'm still filming "Shanghai Dreams". Reading two scripts at the same time has a great impact on getting into character.

Gao Yuanyuan's gaze returned to the script cover.

Looking at the name "Shen Feiyang" in the screenwriter column, she thought of the article "My Cousin Cured My Mental Inflation" and the experiences of Shen Feiyang that the media had uncovered.

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't understand where a high school student with a sports specialty got her talent.

……

Achoo! Achoo!

Shen Feiyang, who had just finished working with Xiong Naijin, sneezed twice.

Shen Feiyang looked at Xiong Naijin, who was cleaning up for him, and asked, "You haven't caught a cold, have you?"

"You've caught a cold. I have a performance in a couple of days, I can't get sick."

"That must be because you were secretly talking badly about me."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Naijin bit him hard.

"Hiss~"

……

The next few days.

All tasks are progressing steadily.

The movie "Lost in Thailand" is about to have its national premiere.

On December 24th, the show will be performed simultaneously in five theaters.

The theaters in Xicheng District include the Beizhan Theater and the Geological Auditorium; the Haidian Theater in the HD District; the Beibingmasi Theater in Dongcheng District; and the 9 Theater in Chaoyang District.

The Shen Teng group is on this side of the Beijing Exhibition Theater.

The Haidian Theater is Huang Bo's group.

The Geological Auditorium is the Wei Xiang Group.

The Beibingmasi Theater is hosted by Zhou Dayong and Wang Ning.

Theater 9 features the Liang Chao and Song Yang group.

Both the Beibingmasi Theater and Theater 9 can accommodate around 500 audience members, with ticket prices ranging from 50 to 188 yuan. They can easily support two newcomer groups.

Tickets for Haidian Theater and Geological Auditorium range from 50 to 288 yuan.

Tickets for the Beijing Exhibition Theater are the most expensive, ranging from 100 to 888 yuan.

Although watching Lunar New Year stage comedies is more expensive than going to the cinema to see Feng Xiaogang's Lunar New Year film "A World Without Thieves", the occupancy rate of each theater still reached over 90%.

Seeing how lively the market is.

Pan Changjiang felt much more at ease.

He will also be launching a Lunar New Year stage comedy next month, "Looking for Dad".

Many newly established stage play troupes across the country have launched New Year's stage comedies.

Faced with this situation, Shen Feiyang reacted early on, directing the heads of the company's administration and publicity departments to lead the establishment of the preparatory group for the second Golden Twist Drama Festival.

Invitations were sent to theater troupes from all over the country, asking them to come to Beijing to participate in the competition in February. Happy Twist would provide the performance venue, and all the box office revenue would go to the contestants.

In just two days, more than ten theater troupes have accepted the invitation.

For these theater troupes, this is an opportunity to participate in industry summits and open up the BJ market.

Happy Twist's amazing performance in the Beijing market over the past year has proven that the Beijing market is the most quintessential part of the national stage play market. If you want to grow stronger, you must try your luck in Beijing.

Shen Feiyang is not afraid of competitors at all.

The more performing groups and the more plays there are, the faster we can educate the market, expand the market, and create an atmosphere where audiences will spend tens of dollars to watch stage comedies even without stars.

……

December 12th, Christmas Eve.

Six o'clock in the evening.

Long queues had already formed in the small square outside the Beijing Exhibition Theater.

Just like the premiere of "Crazy Stone".

The venue is divided into several entrance channels based on ticket price tiers.

There is also a VIP channel.

Those who use this passage are mainly invited guests.

Leaders from the Women's Federation, the deputy district head of Xicheng District in charge of cultural performances, and other leaders.

In addition, there are people from the industry.

For example, Zhao Benshan.

Filming for "Ma Dashuai 2" has wrapped.

Zhao Benshan is currently working on a skit for the Spring Festival Gala, so I came to check it out when I had some free time.

Zhao Benshan was accompanied by Zhao Gang, Zhang Xiaofei, Xiao Shenyang, and others.

Xiao Shenyang's performance on the "Chinese Comedians" stage was decent; he could make the audience laugh out loud. His main disadvantage was the lack of a creative team to provide him with innovative content. Later, the audience grew tired of his work, and he failed to make it to the final episode.

But his performance also caught Zhao Benshan's attention.

After the competition, Zhao Benshan took Xiao Shenyang under his wing.

At this time, Zhao Benshan didn't really hold any grand apprentice-acceptance ceremonies.

In the past six months or so, Zhao Benshan has provided Xiao Shenyang with a lot of resources.

In "Ma Dashuai 2", Xiao Shenyang was given a role and a fixed performance slot at Liu Laogen Grand Stage. He was also taken along when performing in other places and participating in activities, which shows that they have a strong intention to cultivate Xiao Shenyang.

"President Shen."

After Shen Feiyang respectfully shook hands with Zhao Benshan, Xiao Shenyang followed suit and shook hands with Shen Feiyang in the same manner.

One level presses down on the next.

Shen Feiyang arranged for someone to lead them in, and then continued to greet guests at the entrance.

He Jiong and Xie Na also arrived.

The main reason is that He Jiongai brought Xie Na along; they're good friends.

Xie Na brought her boyfriend Liu Ye with her.

Shen Feiyang didn't invite many people from the industry.

Most of the people who came had been my collaborators before.

Ning Hao, who sought investment from Shen Feiyang, secured 20 yuan.

Guo Donglin and Pan Changjiang are among the artists who have collaborated on the "Chinese Comedians" project.

And Tian Youliang, Wen Zhang, Zhu Yuchen, Li Xiaolu, and others who had collaborative relationships with the "Struggle" project.

Wang Luodan and Gao Yuanyuan were unavailable, so they couldn't come.

Tian Youliang, Wen Zhang, and Zhu Yuchen came together.

It was close to 7 p.m.

The show is about to start.

After welcoming the last group of belated leaders, Shen Feiyang was about to go inside with them.

Li Xiaolu rushed over.

Li Xiaolu stood panting in front of Shen Feiyang, her voice full of apology, "Mr. Shen, I'm so sorry, there was some traffic on the way, and the car was parked a bit far away..."

"It's alright. Let's go in first."
