Chapter 63 Lively Chinese Opera 【New Week,

The first performance of "Charlotte's Troubles" is mainly aimed at teachers and students in the Central Academy of Drama, and it is not widely publicized to the public.

With such a report from the Beijing Morning Post, the Central Academy of Drama does not need to appear on its own. Countless drama gourmets know that there is such a new drama.

Looking at the report from Beijing Morning Post, students from the graduating class of the Central Academy of Drama wrote, arranged, directed and acted by themselves?

These gourmets still felt a little sad.

Students write, direct and act?

Then there are definitely highlights, but the corresponding disadvantages are definitely obvious.

This is the conclusion they have come to see several graduation dramas of students over the years.

Classic dramas have boundaries, and students can freely play within a certain range, while most of them are "unimaginable".

The shortcomings of these new dramas are as eye-catching as the highlights.

What made them determined was the sentence in the Morning Post report.

"Charlotte's Troubles" starts with a middle-aged man's "Yellow Mirror Dream" and tells the story of the hero Charlotte's experiences when he returned to his student days, including funny, affectionate, songs, dances...'.

It sounds like a hodgepodge, but the term "Yellow Farm and Dream" is quite fresh.

Could it be said to be a modern adaptation of "Yellow Mirror Dream"?

If that's the case, it's worth seeing.

Then the problem they face is, what about the votes?

There is no contact information on ticket purchase phone number and no contact information. What should you do if you ask everyone to do?

The Central Academy of Drama’s external admissions office received more than a dozen calls early in the morning. The first sentence of these people was, “How to book tickets for the Central Academy of Drama’s graduation show this year.”

After finally sending these people away, the phones in the room were still ringing, which gave the teachers on duty on weekends a headache.

If you answered it, I still said the same thing dozens of times. ‘There is no ticket booking method at the moment. I can give you a phone number from the Performance Department. This is the admissions hotline. If you don’t answer it, you are afraid of missing other important calls.

Being in the field of stage plays, Tian Youliang hasn't experienced the audience's "passion" for a long time.

The Chinese drama stage used to be playing art and classics, and in recent years, it has been playing pioneers and experiments.

After several rounds, the market for dramas is still dead, and it is still the same as the third one after another. The actors are not annoyed, and the audience is already annoyed.

This time, the 98 performance class of the Central Academy of Drama was ahead of traditional stage plays.

Many drama fans, drama lovers, and gourmets called to inquire about how to buy tickets, and some even found them directly at the school.

It seems that the sluggish market in the stage drama has made these drama gourmets hungry for too long.

Faced with the market's reaction, the Central Academy of Drama's reaction was also extremely rapid.

The department leaders of the Performance Department immediately approached Tian Youliang, and the department decided to produce the drama under the name of the Central Academy of Drama. On the way to come, they had already thought about the 'Central Opera students taking the first step in commercializing dramas'.

Although the plays arranged by the National Academy of Governors also include commercial activities such as advertising, sales, and ticket sales, their plays are not commercial dramas.

The most important thing about commercial drama is to do whatever the market needs.

In the past, students' graduation dramas were also performed in schools. They had no commercial purpose and were finished. They were not accepted by the market or whether the audience liked them or not. They didn't know at all.

Not going to society to test students is a less serious approach to teaching work.

However, classic dramas are not very attractive to ordinary audiences.

The heavy burden of life has put a lot of pressure on ordinary people. People are busy working hard every day for food, clothing, housing and transportation. People need entertainment, relaxation, and laughter.

This is not because people have become shallow, it is caused by reality.

To bring the audience into the theater, the drama must follow the entertainment trend.

There is nothing in real life that can stop the spread of this entertainment trend, and TV series have long been infected with a strong atmosphere of entertainment.

The concept of New Year's films originated from Hong Kong earlier. In 1997, Feng Kuzi made the first New Year's film in mainland China, "Party A and Party B". Since then, it has opened up the market for New Year's films in mainland China, and has since become out of control.

"See You" and "No Play" are both classics of Feng's humor in the past two years. This is also the "Big Star" that has recently started to promote and create momentum.

All the movies screened in the theater have begun to be entertained and commercialized, and dramas cannot be left behind.

In the eyes of the leaders of the Central Academy of Drama, the comedy drama "Charlotte's Troubles" is a pretty good experimental field.

However, this first step of commercialization encountered the first difficulty before it could be taken.

"Leader, I have signed a contract with us, and this drama cannot be commercialized." Hearing the idea of ​​the department leader, Tian Youliang stood up and explained to him in time.

The copyright contract between Jiang Shan and Deng Chao and others regarding "Charlotte's Troubles" has stated that it is "not commercialized", and there are also restrictions on the number of performances. During the Central Academy of Drama graduation drama exhibition, at most one show per week.

Although the contract does not clearly state the breach of contract compensation, the contract will definitely be a sure thing after being accepted by the court.

Jiang Shan can make them vomit as much as they can with this drama, and by the way, they can also ask for compensation.

This is a difficult problem.

what to do?

Let’s talk!

………………………………………

"Teacher Tian, ​​I definitely won't sell the copyright. Don't bother too much about this issue."

Jiang Shan put down the coffee cup in his hand and said while shaking his head.

It was still the cafe near the Film Academy. In the afternoon, Tian Youliang came to the door and said that he wanted to discuss cooperation.

The first cooperation clause he had mentioned was rejected by Jiang Shan.

Buy out the script of "Charlotte's Troubles" for 50,000 yuan?

What an international joke!

He is not a fool to sell at a low price!

Tian Youliang was not surprised when he heard Jiang Shan rejecting his proposal. After meeting each other several times, he concluded that the Beijing Film Academy boy in front of him was much more mature and calmer than his peers.

Most students are not as calm as he is when they hear this number, and they look like Jiang Taigong is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Tian Youliang, who was standing beside him, began to get a little nervous.

"Fifty thousand per commercial performance..."

Jiang Shan gave a number, but before he could finish his words, Tian Youliang shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no!"

On the way he came, he did some calculations. Because it was a student's graduation work, without the franchise of celebrities, without the support of well-known directors and screenwriters, the ticket price for the outside world could not be too high.

Based on the 700 seats in the Central Academy of Drama Experimental Theater, the price of 400 seats is 88,200 seats is 188,100 seats, and 288. The full amount is over 100,000 yuan.

According to Jiang Shan, a 50,000 game will definitely not work, because Tian Youliang does not guarantee that every game can be filled. Even if he is full, he will be paid 50,000 yuan per game, it will be too expensive.

The venues, electricity bills, publicity and students provided by the Central Academy of Drama!

When it comes to commercial performances, students cannot be allowed to play for nothing. They have to pay the actors and students working behind the scenes in every show, right?

Jiang Shan cut off half of the profits immediately, and Tian Youliang definitely couldn't do this.

"That's better, 25% per game."

Having said that, Jiang Shan took a step back at the right time, and then Jiang Shan looked at Tian Youliang happily while drinking coffee.

At this time, Tian Youliang's head was running at a high speed.

‘Each game is 25%, and the total amount of the game is only 25,000 yuan. Even if you don’t meet the corresponding commission, you will get less’. It sounds much better than the choice just now.

This combination seems a bit cost-effective!
