The biggest obstacles that Laiyang Theater faces in its development are ticket sales and actor reserves.
In the past, there were indeed many newcomers participating in open mics, but it was almost impossible to retain them.
There are two reasons. First, these people are basically mothers or office workers, and their time and energy are limited.
Second, they are all individuals, basically they come alone, they are not familiar with everyone, and if they are disappointed by the jokes, they will not come.
But the college student group is completely different.
They have a lot of free time, and they often go out together in a dormitory, so they will have a strong stickiness. And if you train talk show actors in college, you don't have to worry about the problem of resistance from your peers.
Lai Yang excitedly told Yuan Shengda his idea and added.
"We can definitely set up a talk show club in school. This way, we can not only train actors, but also make them ticket agents for our school. Think about it, if we participate in a few more campus art competitions and celebrations in the future, won't our club become more famous? A university must have thousands to tens of thousands of students. If we sell a few hundred tickets a week, then... How many universities are there in Shanghai? Wouldn't we be crazy if we sell tickets?"
Lai Yang's mouth corners twitched with excitement.
"After that, maybe we can really do a 10,000-person event! After Shanghai University, we can also do Suzhou, Xi'an, and the whole country! We can assign people to be in charge of each city, and then make an online app to master the resources of college students across the country. Can we cooperate with the tourism industry? Cooperate with advertisers? It's so loud, can you imagine it?"
Yuan Sheng opened her beautiful eyes wide, then silently put the diced chicken on the chopsticks into her mouth and chewed.
"Lai Duidui, did someone hit you and gave you a concussion?"
“… Do you think my idea is wrong?”
"I don't understand."
Lai Yang touched his face heavily, speechless: "Why can't language play a role in communication now? I'm speaking Chinese! What don't you understand?"
"For example, the first step you mentioned is to go to school and set up a club. How do you do it? Do you know any college students?"
“Look for it!”
"Why would he trust you? Or how do you find the right college students? Secondly, does he have the ability to do what you want? And what's the benefit for him? Passion? Or do you pay him?"
A basin of cold water chilled Lai Yang to the core.
But if you think about it calmly, what Yuan Shengda said makes sense.
“
But the idea you proposed tonight is pretty good, and it is indeed unique. At least other labels haven’t thought of this yet. I think if you delve into the details, there might be an opportunity.”
Yuan Shengda flipped the grilled fish and said this. Lai Yang lit another cigarette and took a puff, looking at her quietly.
"It's so loud, I suspect you are trying to PUA me."
“What is PUA?”
"It's like giving me a slap in the face first and then a candy, so that I feel that you are far-sighted and approachable, and thus people develop a kind of spiritual worship for you."
Yuan Shengda picked up a piece of grilled fish and put it in Laiyang's bowl, sighing.
"I'm not as complicated as you say, nor am I that powerful. I don't have much ambition for career advancement. I just want you to fill your stomach first while you're flying high."
Laiyang's expression gradually froze, and then he looked at the fish on the plate, an indescribable feeling spread in his heart...
"Loudly... You are indeed good at PUA."
"roll!"
…
That night, Lai Yang thought carefully about the issue of entering the campus market.
This is indeed a great opportunity, but why doesn't anyone do it
Now many universities in Shanghai have crosstalk clubs, but there are no talk show clubs. Is it because talk show has not developed in China? Or is it that the industry has not thought of it
Lai Yang never thought that he had a superior IQ. He believed that his colleagues must have done the same thing, but they might have encountered a problem that was difficult to solve. However, he couldn't think of what the problem was at the moment.
It was not until he was about to fall asleep that Lai Yang decided to change to a top-down approach.
The next day, as soon as he woke up, he made a voice call to Hu Zi.
Since Guangxun recruits graduates from many schools in Shanghai every year, Hu Zi is very likely to have connections with school leaders.
After the call was connected, Hu Zi's thick Sichuan accent floated over.
Lai Yang got along well with him, so he briefly explained his idea in a vague way and asked him if he had any university leadership resources.
Hu Zi laughed and said proudly, "Does Lai Yang look down on his job?"
"Every year, the company recruits graduate interns and I am the one who keeps an eye on them. There are a lot of leaders there. I am not high enough to contact the principal and vice-president, but I have no problem contacting the general junior leaders."
"Okay! Then buddy, do me a favor and make an appointment with a school leader you are familiar with. I will visit him when I return from my business trip the day after tomorrow."
"Don't go to school~ Tell them in advance when you come back. You have to treat them to a meal. There are some things that can be discussed at the dinner table. Got it?"
"I know, I know. Then tell your boss about my idea and see if he has any suggestions. Also, don't tell anyone else about this."
Laiyang’s words were very clear, and Hu Zi was also a smart man, so he said, don’t worry.
…
After dealing with this matter, the Laiyang group talked about commercial performances and asked who could go to Zhoushan
Qianying can't go because the company's performance has been poor recently and it's not convenient to take leave.
Alu also said he couldn't go, saying that the shop had already been taken over, and the equipment and raw materials for the milk tea sold were all from the old tenant. I have to go to Qingdao with him in the next few days to meet and get to know the material suppliers.
Although Laiyang was unhappy about this, there was nothing much to say.
Except for these two people, everyone else said it was okay.
What Lai Yang didn't expect was that Xu Mo also wanted to go with him. She said she wanted to relax and travel.
But Lai Yang didn't know whether her decision had anything to do with Li Dian.
Li Dian is a taciturn person, there is no point in asking him.
Because the only discounted flight from Xuhui District to Zhoushan was to Putuo Mountain at around 12 noon, everyone packed their belongings as quickly as possible and gathered at the theater.
After meeting, everyone was shocked by the injuries on Lai Yang's face. They asked him all kinds of questions until it was too late. Then the six of them got two taxis and drove towards Pudong Airport.
This was indeed Lai Yang's first cross-city commercial performance. When he sat in the back seat and looked out the window, he couldn't help feeling a little excited, until Li Dian secretly nudged him with his leg and pointed at his cell phone.
Lai Yang was stunned, because Song Wen was sitting in the passenger seat, so... was there something he wanted to whisper
When he opened his phone, he found a screenshot sent by Li Dian, which contained the chat history between him and a person named "Mr. Wei of Xiyuezhuang".
Li Dian said that everyone had already set off. President Wei specifically confirmed whether Laiyang would come as well? What time would he arrive? She sent a special plane to pick him up~
Lai Yang was shocked by the word "special plane"!
He swallowed his saliva and asked Li Dian quietly: "Who is Mr. Wei?"
Li Dian leaned close to his ear and replied.
"The big boss of the organizer, your crazy female fan, said she would send a private helicopter to pick you up."
