Chapter 1289 Domineering local tyrant!(1/2)
Xiao Bailing's performance tickets have been booked long ago, but fortunately Zhang Xiaojia has some reserved seats in her hand, which happened to be for Wang Lin and the others to see.
People in the city celebrate the New Year, and there are many evening activities, such as watching movies, visiting temple fairs, and visiting attractions.
Of course, you can also come to Xiao Bailing to watch the performance!
Xiao Bailing's musical and musical singing and dancing are so outstanding that they are the best in the world.
During holidays, it is hard to get a ticket.
During the Spring Festival, I heard that there were scalpers outside, hyping up tickets for entry. A VIP ticket worth 50 yuan can be sold at a high price of 200 yuan.
When Wang Lin and the others entered the venue, several scalpers came forward and asked: "Do you want a ticket? The VIP ticket in the front row costs 200 yuan each."
Zhou Zhu was shocked: "Why do ticket sellers have so many tickets in their hands? If these tickets cannot be sold, the empty occupancy rate in the venue will be much."
Wang Lin also realized this problem.
The scalpers use various methods to manipulate every ticket with a conventional way of distribution of interests. Although this can largely create a hot phenomenon that the concert ticket is hard to get, to a greater extent, it makes consumers a slaughtered lamb.
If it is just a general concert and you leave after a performance in a certain city, it will not have much impact on the reputation of the entertainment company.
But Xiao Bailing is a performing arts unit that is always here. Once it creates a bad impression on the general public, no one will come here to watch the performance again.
The homogeneity of performances is very serious. Although Xiao Bailing's program is very distinctive, scalpers are the first to get tickets and price them according to the situation. First, it affects the interests and mood of consumers. Secondly, it has a negative impact on the image of the theater.
Although the scalpers bought tickets in a short period of time, it would not have much impact on the business of Xiaobailing Theater. But over time, the audience would retreat.
If you look down on your show and can’t buy your ticket, the audience will settle for the second best and go to other competitors to watch the show.
Li Wenxiu said: "Wang Lin, you have to take care of this matter. The tickets are in the hands of the scalpers. Those who really want to enter the show will have to pay a high price to watch, or they simply cannot enter the show."
Wang Lin nodded and said, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so don't criticize them, let's talk about it tomorrow. In addition, I guess the ticket seller will not only have it in Beijin Xiaobailing, but also in Shencheng."
Li Wenxiu said: "You have to be careful to prevent scalpers from colluding with internal employees to get tickets. There are discounts for employees to get tickets, which is a loophole."
Wang Lin nodded with a serious expression.
Everyone entered the venue and took their seats.
The show will start on time.
Wang Lin and the others were sitting in the VIP seat, with a pot of tea on the table and a program list.
Li Wenxiu looked at the program list and said, "Peking opera is good, but it's a little bit unaware of what it is singing."
Wang Lin said: "This is easy, you can just buy two LED display stage subtitles machines."
It is indispensable for teleprompter equipment, live news studios, and singers’ personal concerts. Even some speakers are eloquent and behind the inspirational texts, it is also visible.
From the initial simple teleprompt device to the diverse functions of professional teleprompt device, it has a history of decades.
The teleprompter device originated from the waterproof paper rolls in half a suitcase in the United States in 1948. It was originally used to remind the actors of the stage play, because these paper rolls were handheld prompts by staff, which were neither convenient nor safe.
A male actor Fred Patton, Jr., proposed to make these paper scrolls into mobile scrolls. When you see prompts through the scrolls, you can avoid language and text mistakes. So Schlavre's "TV prompt device" was born.
Many companies have begun to design their own products based on this device. Patented products with built-in telescopes appeared. In the 1952 US election, 47 of the 58 speakers used telescopes.
Before the 1980s, although teleprompters had made subtle progress, the manuscript could only be printed on paper. Until 1982, Hollywood mixer and stage staff, Courtney Gooding, invented a software-based computer reminder system that could project text on the improved Atari 800 computer. It announced the end of the use of paper rolls by the teleprompter equipment and was replaced by computers.
By the same token, the teleprompter can also provide the audience with lyrics and lyrics.
Li Wenxiu said: "Can we also type out the lyrics at the back of this program list? In this way, we can enjoy the program better."
Wang Lin smiled and said, "This workload will be relatively large, and the performances and programs are different every day."
Li Wenxiu said: "Then increase the price of VIP seats and provide a free exquisite program list. Audiences with other ticket prices can buy them by themselves. Although the programs are different every day, the lyrics of songs and opera songs are certain, and they can be made into large cards and connected together, just like a letter of commemorative film, and the audience can also take them home as a souvenir."
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "This is called development peripherals! Wenxiu, you are so awesome!"
Li Wenxiu smiled and said, "I'm just thinking about myself. There must be many audiences like me. We don't understand dramas. It would be great if we could have a lyrics to watch. It would be better to have a background introduction to this drama."
Wang Lin said: "You are right. This is also a great thing that has immeasurable merits for promoting traditional civilization and popularizing culture and art. Wenxiu, your mind is very flexible!"
Li Wenxiu chuckled softly and said, "Don't you just bury me. Haven't I learned all this from you?"
The opening is usually a lively and festive singing and dancing program, with beautiful and handsome men appearing one after another, which is dazzling.
The Peking Opera can be regarded as the highlight of the Beijin Xiaobailing.
After a performance, there were several Peking Opera sections.
Next, the one who came on stage was a handsome and beautiful Qingyi.
Qingyi is a kind of Dan opera in my country. The northern opera is mostly called Qingyi, and the southern opera is mostly called Zhengdan. It is named because the characters he plays often wear green folds. They are generally dignified, serious, and upright characters, most of whom are good wives and mothers, or chaste women.
Li Wenxiu looked at the program list and asked: "There is an excerpt from the Peking Opera "Mu Guiying Takes the Commander", and the singer is--"
"Li Susu!" Wang Lin suddenly shouted.
Li Wenxiu said in surprise: "How did you know her? Is she very famous?"
"Haha, of course," Wang Lin smiled, "She is the famous Meipai Qingyi. Unexpectedly, Xiao Bailing invited her too! Awesome!"
"I don't think she's old."
"Are you in your twenties!"
"I don't know my true appearance after putting on makeup, but this figure is very good, not inferior to Shen Xue."
"Um."
Music sounded in the field.
With the strong drum beats, Li Susu on the stage sang: "I heard the sound of the golden drums and the sound of the paintings and corners, which aroused my ambitions in the Breaking Heaven Sect. I remember that the peach blossoms were immediately majestic, and the enemy's blood splattered in pomegranate skirts. I should be responsible for the whole life, how can the land belong to others? What is the clown in the foreign king? I can block millions of soldiers with one sword!"
"Okay!" The audience cheered.
Li Susu's tone is round and beautiful, her singing style is mellow and savory, her singing style is relaxed and natural, her performance is free and easy, her foundation is profound, and she has the style of a great master, and she has a charm for the plum school.
As soon as I opened my mouth, I received countless applause.
Li Wenxiu, who doesn’t understand Peking Opera, actually understood this passage and said, “Wang Lin, she sang very well.”
Wang Lin often listens to Peking Opera at home, and this passage is also his favorite part. After listening to Li Susu's singing, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Su Su has to come to sing! This singing style is so perfect."
After Li Susu finished singing, Wang Lin took out a stack of money, but he didn't know how many of them were, and he threw them into her show reward box.
Everyone in the audience saw the thick stack of bills and shouted again.
Li Susu looked at Wang Lin and smiled and left the scene gracefully.
Zhang Xiaojia went to work and came over halfway through the performance.
"Xiaojia," Wang Lin asked, "Why did you invite Teacher Li Susu?"
Zhang Xiaojia said: "Oh, Teacher Li is the leader of the Jin Provincial Peking Opera Theater. Her mentor, Mr. Mei Baojiu, lives in Beijing. She has been studying art for Boss Mei five years ago. Although she went to Jin Provincial Development, she would still come to pay New Year's greetings to Teacher Mei. We originally wanted to invite Teacher Mei to perform, but unfortunately, Teacher Mei couldn't come if she had something to do, so she recommended him to us his favorite student, and his closed disciple, Teacher Li Susu."
Wang Lin said: "It's a pity that I can only listen to her singing this passage!"
Zhang Xiaojia said: "Wang Lin, if you like her to perform, I'll let her add another part?"
"Return? Then I can only listen to one more paragraph!" Wang Lin smiled regretfully.
Zhang Xiaojia chuckled, "There's nothing else, unless you can wrap her up and let her sing a show for you!"
Wang Lin said: "Hey, you make sense, I'll go talk to her."
Li Wenxiu said: "In this first month of the year, can't you let others have a good rest? If you have a lot of money, you want to buy out their time?"
Wang Lin smiled awkwardly: "I'll go and ask her for her opinion first, what if she agrees?"
Li Wenxiu said: "Don't force others!"
Wang Lin said he knew, then got up and walked backstage.
The backstage was in a mess.
Dozens of actors, makeup artists, and costumers are preparing for the show!
Wang Lin saw Li Susu at a glance from the troubling crowd.
Li Susu has not taken off her makeup yet, and she will be on stage for the next performance.
She was sitting in front of the dressing table and chatting with a woman.
Wang Lin walked up to her and shouted respectfully: "Hello, Teacher Li."
Li Susu looked at him curiously. She knew that this was a major backstage place and that ordinary people could not get in. She wondered who Wang Lin was, but she quickly recognized him.
The audience who rewarded her with a lot of money off the stage!
"Hello!" Li Susu smiled slightly, "Is there anything you have to do with me?"
Wang Lin said: "Teacher Li, you are my idol. I am honored to see your wonderful performance here."
"Idol?" Li Susu smiled, "Aren't young people chasing stars nowadays? Taiwan stars and Hong Kong stars are idols!"
Wang Lin said: "A person worships an idol, in fact, is using some of the images of this idol to tell others what kind of person I am. According to the French sociology master Bourdieu, this represents a certain choice of taste. Taste is what people rely on to distinguish themselves and try to defeat others in the symbolic field. I have few idols, but Teacher Li is one."
Li Susu said in surprise: "What do you call me?"
Wang Lin said: "Teacher Li, just call me Wang Lin."
The woman next to her smiled and said, "Teacher Li, he is the big boss of Aixu Group, the richest man in the south, and Xiao Bailing Performing Arts Company is an industry under his name."
