In the past, Lai Yang only knew that Guangxun Performing Arts Group was very powerful, but this strength had not been materialized, so he could not feel it.
But during this week back in Shanghai, he truly felt it.
Most of the taxi screen advertisements on the road are promoting Tudou Comedy, and the advertising screens on many buildings are also playing clips of Dusi's performances.
In addition to these, various news headlines, newspapers and web pages also clearly state this.
The first talk show hosting team with a capacity of 1,000 people, Tu Dou Comedy!
Du Xi, the host of Tudou Comedy, was interviewed by "Shanghai New Youth" and the whole interview was hilarious!
Shanghai Comedian, Dusi-style comedy performance is coming with hilarious performances!
Many audiences in Shanghai had never heard of talk shows before, but now when they heard a talk show for the first time, they also heard of Du Xi.
LaiYang would never have thought that this thief who copied jokes would suddenly become the founder of talk shows
Guangxun opened another show for Tudou Comedy at the Poly Theater in Xuhui District, with a capacity of 1,000 people.
I heard from Li Dian that as soon as the tickets were put on the shelves, all 1,000 tickets were sold out in more than five hours!
It seems that Guangxun has really ignited the market this time.
However, the traffic of his own club has dropped sharply. Only a dozen people came to watch the performance last night. The box office was extremely bleak, as if he had returned to the pre-liberation era.
Song Wen and Yun Lu have also returned, and Song Wen is now a full-time worker. After this situation occurred, he didn't say a few words from beginning to end last night, and his mood was all written on his face.
…
The sky began to darken again today. Lai Yang was waiting for ticket checking at the gate, feeling extremely depressed.
He looked at the traffic on the street. It was obviously very busy, but he felt a sense of desolation in his heart.
Because there are only seven combined tickets available tonight, it's ironic to think that the theater has been open for almost three years, but there are only seven audience members in the audience.
"Laiyang."
Xu Mo walked out of the theater. She and Li Dian had already made their identities public a few days ago, and she planned to move downstairs from Li Dian soon.
"Li Dian said that we can let you in. The seven people had a combined ticket. The backstage just sent a message saying that the booking was wrong and the tickets were refunded."
Lai Yang felt as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in his throat, which made him itchy and unable to speak.
Walking into the theater, Song Wenyunlu and Qianying Aru were both sitting on folding chairs under the stage, each with a different expression.
Li Dian walked out from the backstage holding his mobile phone
, saying: "The show tonight is cancelled, no one is coming."
"How could this happen, Master? I thought that even if it was the worst, there must be old audiences. How could there be no one? This is too weird, right?" Qianying was puzzled.
"Tonight, there's a label get-together at Tudou Comedy Theater. People from five labels are there. Their theater isn't far from us, so it's normal for the audience to go there."
Li Dian replied, and Lai Yang pulled out a stool and sat down. He looked around at everyone with a stern face and asked, "Is the noise loud?"
"She said she had something to do and would be late."
Alu answered, then picked up the phone and muttered, "Oh, by the way, I'll tell her that everything is fine now."
Lai Yang glanced at him, took a deep breath, forced a smile and looked at everyone.
"It's okay. They're very popular recently. It's normal. We just need to stay calm. It's almost the end of the month now, and the school will soon be recruiting students and starting classes. By then, everyone can take turns to take time out during the day to attend classes. When the number of actors increases and there is more experience, then we can..."
"Brother Yang, I may not be able to do it during the day."
Alu interrupted and said to everyone, "You know, my milk tea shop business has just stabilized, and I really can't leave."
Lai Yang's mouth twitched. It was impossible for him not to be angry, but Aru had never been a full-time employee, and as for the training, he also had the right to refuse.
Yunlu kicked the leg of Alu's chair and said angrily.
"What do you mean? You're the only one who owns a milk tea shop? Don't I have to go to work? We're all a team, can't we spare some time?"
"I really have no choice. You are working, and I am starting a business. The emergencies we face every day are different. Besides, I don't expect to have a busy business. How can I ask Brother Yang to sell milk tea for me?"
Yun Lu was very angry at these words, and Xu Mo spoke up to smooth things over.
"Okay, stop arguing. Let's put it this way, Aru. I usually have classes in the studio in the afternoon and evening. I can help you run the store during the day. I really don't know anything about talk shows, so you have to go."
Alu touched his nose angrily, then looked up at Lai Yang.
"Brother Yang, it's not that I don't want to help. You know, Shengda and I invested nearly 300,000 yuan in that store. To be honest, it's almost the same amount as your investment in this theater. If I wasn't here when it just opened, the old customers would think I sold it. You don't want Shengda's money to go down the drain, right?"
After saying that, he looked at Yunlu again.
"Don't be angry. I know Song Wen is a full-time employee now and you are shareholders, so you are more biased towards the theater. I am also
I can understand that, but you also have to understand me, right? "
Yunlu was about to explode with anger. He sat there stiffly, holding back his anger but unable to say anything.
The atmosphere in the theater had dropped to freezing point, and at this moment, Yuan Shengda walked in in a hurry.
"Huh? What are you doing? Aren't you going to perform tonight?"
"Loud, I just sent you a message. The audience tonight has been cancelled. There's no one."
Alu stood up, took the bag from Yuan Shengda and asked her to sit down.
"No one? You must be kidding. When our theater first opened, there was at least one audience member."
Yuan Sheng muttered loudly and looked at Lai Yang and Li Dian.
Lai Yang smacked his lips, changed the subject and asked her what she was doing.
Yuan Shengda reached out to tidy up his long hair and smiled.
"I went to discuss a venue cooperation with us. A few days ago, Li Dian said that he wanted to rent out the venue during the day. Coincidentally, an audience member who joined me before was an industry sharing conference host. She had seen our theater and thought it would be interesting to hold a small-scale sharing conference here."
"Wait, do you mean to rent out the venue during the day?" Lai Yang interrupted.
Yuan Shengda was a little confused: "Didn't you and Li Dian discuss this?"
Laiyang: “…”
"Ahem... Laiyang, I mentioned this to Shengda when we were chatting. I think we should listen to her first, right?"
After Li Dian finished speaking, a hint of sadness flashed across Yuan Shengda's eyes, and his mood also dropped a little.
"If it doesn't fit, forget it."
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Lai Yang's face, especially Shang Yunlu, who had a hint of impatience in her eyes.
Lai Yang knew what she was thinking and what everyone else was thinking.
But he really couldn't agree to this. Yun Bin waived the rent, but he ended up becoming the sub-landlord
This was impossible to explain to Tian Jing. Even if she agreed, Lai Yang would feel like a failure.
Besides, in times of turmoil like this, morale is really important!
Once the base is rented out to others during the day, who will have the confidence to win the next battle
Just when Lai Yang was feeling upset, Hu Zi suddenly called him.
He called at this time, so it must be something important.
Hopefully, it won't be a bad thing anymore...
