Chapter 239 Theater is officially online
The girls' college finally stabilized and got back on track.
The Shen family became increasingly quiet, and no one was sent to urge Miss Shen to go back and get married.
Luo Yu knew that it was Prince Ning who helped them.
Many times, Luo Yu became increasingly confused about Zhu Jinyou. He seemed careless, but he saw many things and handled everything secretly, but never brought it to the surface.
But if he is unwilling to help, he will remain indifferent even if you try hard to persuade him.
Is this person cold-hearted or just too cunning?
Anyway, Luo Yu thought that he could never be a good person.
The theater, whether it's decoration or staff, is fully coordinated. As expected of the prince's men, they are really efficient.
Late at night, in the hall of Prince Ning’s mansion.
When Luo Yu took out the first drama outline to share with everyone, everyone present widened their eyes.
"Temptation of Madame" is also a family ethics drama?
Hua Shuqing was very upset: "Miss Bai, didn't you agree to film 'The Overbearing Prince Falls in Love with Me'? Why don't you keep your word?"
Qin Luoyu was neither anxious nor annoyed: "If the little princess likes, she can play the leading female role, but who would dare to play the prince?"
After saying that, he turned to Zhu Jinyou with a smile.
Zhu Jinyou had a headache because of all the women in this room!
Although Mr. Lin and Yan Xuan also came to join in the fun, it was still a headache. Several women were chattering and making a mess.
After circulating the script, everyone learned the story: In a certain Jiangnan prefecture, an ordinary woman married into a wealthy merchant family. Her newlywed husband, who then plotted to murder her, cheated on her. However, she was rescued and survived. From then on, she chose to live in anonymity, eventually becoming a wealthy merchant. Then, using her masterful disguise skills, she assumed another identity to seduce her ex-husband, seeking revenge.
After watching it, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment...
Miss Bai's storybook is really dark. It's all about killing people, or self-improvement and revenge...
The protagonist used to be a man, but now it’s a woman?
Luo Yu smiled gently and said, "Please feel free to raise any opinions you have. I won't mind."
Qin Bingrui was the first to ask: "Sister, can I play the heroine? I'm sure I can bring the character to life."
Xia Liang followed up by shouting: "Give me a small role too. I'm willing to be the third female lead and accompany the female lead to destroy the male lead's family."
other people:……
I originally thought Hua Shuqing would yell and say she didn't want to film it, but unexpectedly, she became more and more delighted the more she watched, and directly said, "How about letting me play the female villain who cheats on the male lead?"
Luo Yu asked her with a forced smile: "Why do you want to play this kind of role?"
The little princess looked smug: "I just don't like you guys thinking you're all righteous and good people. I just want to be bad."
The little princess's values have not yet been formed. In her mind, she may not think that being a third party is immoral.
Luo Yu smiled and explained grimly, "No problem, but the hero in this story doesn't like the female villain because she comes from a prominent family. He wants to seize a certain amount of power and then secretly deal with her and her parents. Little Princess, do you still like this foolish character with a distorted outlook?"
Humph, they are all pretending to be pigs to eat the tiger, everyone thinks they are very smart, but in fact, there is not a single good person in this drama...
Hua Shuqing's face turned pale: Is the world really so dangerous? Help...
Old Master Lin sighed. He'd watched many plays, but this was his first time listening to a play. It sounded good to use a realistic acting style to portray the life in the play, but...
"Miss Bai, I have a question for you: Isn't this plot too gory? Would it be disastrous if it were shared by someone with ulterior motives?"
Luo Yu nodded: "It's okay. This plot is mainly to make people be wary of their partners, their relatives and their in-laws who are seeking death."
Zhu Jinyou: It seems that she has been hurt too badly, and the identity of Concubine Ying has cast too heavy a shadow on her.
Yan Xuan: How come there are no good people left?
When Yan Xuan thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Xia Liang, and suddenly felt a little ashamed. He always wanted to find out her true identity. It seemed that he was not a good person either.
Qin Bingrui took out his own lyrics and music and asked several girls who knew music to come into the hall to perform.
"Return" serves as the theme song, a duet between men and women.
Hearing this, Mr. Lin wiped away his tears and said, "Why is this song so sad? This must be a sad story."
The young princess also listened with tears in her eyes and asked, "Is it because everyone in this story died? That's why the song is so sad."
Luo Yu smiled lightly: "Of course not all of them died. If they all died, our theatre would be pelted with vegetable leaves and rotten eggshells!"
Everyone:......
A few days later, the first episode was aired, with four shows being broadcast in rotation each day.
The theater had more than 200 seats, divided into two sides: men on the left and women on the right. Every seat was packed, and even the standing rooms were filled with people.
The next day, people on the street were discussing the plot.
"The heroine, Tian Yingtao, is so pitiful. Why would she voluntarily marry into a merchant family like that? Even if they're incredibly wealthy, so what? I don't want my daughter to marry into a vicious family like that."
"Yes, her father-in-law doesn't care about anything, her mother-in-law is vicious, her sister-in-law is insidious and cruel, and the whole family treats her like a servant. Even after just a few days of marriage, her husband ran off and had an affair. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, how inhumane."
"I think girls from ordinary families should just find a man from a small family of equal status. Don't try to climb up the social ladder. The risk is too great."
"Yeah, yeah, the plot is so realistic, the actors are so amazing, I wanted to slap the male lead after the performance."
"That's not possible, otherwise how can we watch the next plot..."
Luo Yu and Xia Liang were walking on the street, listening to people's conversations after watching the movie. They lowered their heads and laughed quietly, fearing that if people found out that it was her who wrote the melodramatic script, they would definitely throw vegetable leaves at her head!
But unexpectedly, even though the seats were packed with ten-cent tickets, after the performance, someone actually went backstage to ask about the actor. The male lead, Gong Gongzi, had originally been reluctant to play this negative role, but when he saw someone backstage looking for him, he thought they were going to slap him in the face. Instead, the person offered him a ten-ounce reward, saying his performance was so convincing it was worth the reward. Gong Gong was stunned...
The heroine was a popular girl from a brothel, also to attract customers. As a result, she played the role of a miserable girl vividly. The women in the audience sobbed softly and several of them had their handkerchiefs wet.
The second episode will be aired in five days, which makes people eager to watch it. They rush to the theater every day, and those who are rich even watch several repeated shows.
Luo Yu took the opportunity to ask some farmers who were setting up stalls on the roadside to bring some food to sell inside. One episode lasted at least an hour, which was enough time for these people to watch and eat at the same time. It was really interesting.
Advertising is of course indispensable. If a merchant buys advertising time, actors can help advertise, and the merchant's products will also be quoted in the plot.
The following week's performance, I heard that they made over five thousand taels just from advertising fees...
When the third episode was aired, seats began to be divided into different levels. The seats in the first three rows in the middle cost one tael of silver, the seats in the first three rows on both sides cost five hundred wen, and the seats in the middle became cheaper and cheaper, with the lowest still being ten wen, and standing tickets cost five wen.
There are VIP seats on the second floor, and small compartments for watching dramas. Each play costs 100 taels. There are special tour guides and maids to serve you. You can enjoy a 12% discount if you come for the second time.
After Luo Yu set the prices, everyone else had to admire him. This seemingly gentle and sensible Miss Bai turned out to be so inhumane when it came to making money.
That's right. After a few scenes, she made a lot of money. Zhu Jinyou gave her a commission of 30%. She walked as if the soles of her feet were light, and her face was full of smiles.
The theme song "Return" was also very popular with the audience. In order to attract customers to return, Goulanyuan actually asked all the sisters in Goulanyuan to learn to sing this song...
