The Show Begins

Chapter 76: I was fooled by you

"Look how anxious you are. Didn't I explain later that it was me?" Yuan Shengda said in a deep voice.

Lai Yang looked at the chat history again.

Only then did I realize that after Tian Jing replied with a few question marks, Yuan Sheng smiled and said that she was using Laiyang's mobile phone.

"Don't do this next time. It's easy to cause misunderstanding."

Lai Yang breathed a sigh of relief and reminded Yuan Shengda not to be so blunt with Tian Jing later, otherwise people would think he wanted to borrow money.

"Okay, then tell her when she comes."

After Yuan Shengda finished speaking, he said no more, and everyone began to discuss countermeasures again.

After a while, Tian Jing came in gracefully, but she looked a little tired.

Maybe it’s because we have just resumed work and the workload is a bit heavy.

"Sorry, I just finished my work."

After Tian Jing came forward to greet everyone, Lai Yang immediately pulled over a chair for her to sit down.

Everyone looked at him sideways with all kinds of expressions on their faces.

Tian Jing smiled and said thank you, then looked at Yuan Shengda again.

"Voice is loud, you just said in the message that something happened, what's the matter?"

"Let Lai Yang tell you about this matter."

After Yuan Sheng finished speaking, his calm gaze fell on Lai Yang's face.

Every time she stared at him, Lai Yang felt his heartbeat slow down.

"Well, it's not a big deal, it's just..."

Lai Yang glanced at Li Dian, who was looking at him with an earnest gaze. The others also felt that they were holding back their laughter, which was very frustrating.

We were supposed to be discussing countermeasures together, but now it seems like all the problems are our own.

"Our theater wants to... become bigger and stronger, and create more glory. To put it bluntly, we want to make more money. I want to ask if you have any solution."

Tian Jing looked at Lai Yang with a bit of a smile; "You called me over to ask me how to make money?"

"Uh... isn't it... everyone is short of money?"

Tian Jing really didn't understand what Lai Yang wanted to say, so Yuan Shengda explained it to her, saying that Lai Yang had become popular on the Internet yesterday.

So I want to discuss how to make profits quickly while the popularity is high.

After saying that, Yuan Shengda found the ghost video and showed it to Tian Jing.

She laughed so hard that she started giggling. Lai Yang sat beside her and glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally.

She looks very beautiful when she smiles quietly, with red lips and white teeth, just like a blooming flower. Her smile is very healing.

"It's quite fun. I think if the popularity is high enough and the tickets can be sold, then we can try to hold a big show, which can also help to build our reputation."

Tian Jing said with a smile while watching the video.

But after he said this, Lai Yang's eyes suddenly turned.

Yes!

Why didn't he think of this just now

The regular theater ticket now costs 88 yuan, and there are only performances on Saturdays and Sundays, with about fifty people attending each show.

If you add in the ticket fees for the open mics, it’s just over 30,000 yuan a month.

After deducting the cost of venue and personnel, the net profit per month is at most around 15,000 yuan.

But if you organize a show for a thousand people, the ticket price can be increased a lot.

When watching crosstalk shows, tickets for the back row cost over a hundred yuan, and tickets for the front row are even more expensive, and may even cost over a thousand yuan.

I'm not that big a star, but the average ticket price is about two hundred yuan.

One thousand tickets means a box office of two hundred thousand.

At least there will be a net profit of 100,000.

Wouldn't it be possible to solve all the problems in one go

Lai Yang excitedly told everyone about the venue with a thousand people. The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He had even begun to think about a specific implementation plan in his mind.

But after he finished speaking, everyone's expressions were a little dull, even a little cold.

"No, what's your reaction?"

Lai Yang was puzzled. Li Dian frowned and said, "A field of 1,000 people, Lai Yang... Do you think this is difficult?"

Although this was a rhetorical question, there was no confidence in his tone.

It's not his fault. After all, this small theater with only 80 seats is rarely full.

"Brother Yang's idea is still very good, um... so let's... think about it again." Song Wen also muttered quietly to the side.

Qianying is even more of an outsider, so she can't get a word in on such things.

Looking at everyone's disbelieving expressions, Lai Yang's fighting spirit, which had just been ignited, instantly cooled by half.

The discussion ended in vain.

"Actually, I think your thousand-person field is worth a try."

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening. Lai Yang had just walked Tian Jing downstairs of her community when Tian Jing suddenly said.

Lai Yang looked at her in surprise: "Why do you say that?"

"Because I don't think anyone in China has ever held a talk show with a thousand people in attendance."

Lai Yang nodded, this is true.

Talk shows are just starting out in China now, and they aren’t even available in third- and fourth-tier cities.

In first- and second-tier cities, many labels still perform in bars.

Looking across Shanghai, there are less than ten companies that have grown into regular troops and have their own small theaters.

It’s already very good if everyone can sell out all the tickets for the small theater.

How could we even consider selling tickets to a venue for thousands of people

After Lai Yang briefly explained to Tian Jing, she nodded gently and looked at Lai Yang with bright eyes.

The dark pupils seemed to be flickering with fragmented light in the night.

"So, I think the significance of hosting a talk show for thousands of people is more important than how much money you make. Because you can see the prospects through the development of the industry in the United States. There is definitely a market, and it will definitely be popular in the future, but for the audience, everyone will only remember the number one person in each industry."

Tian Jing paused for a moment, and then continued with her red lips: "So, even if talk shows are not popular now, when the spring of the industry arrives, your current actions will gain you huge dividends in the future, and this value is greater."

Lai Yang was shocked by these words.

He really hadn't thought about it that far, but what Tian Jing said was right.

In fact, just like the most popular Deyun Club now, the reason why it became the leader in the industry is because it created many firsts.

"And this gimmick is also very good. When you sell tickets or negotiate commercial performances in the future, you can say that you are the first person to host a talk show in front of a thousand people. It will be very prestigious, right?"

Tianjing smiled cunningly, Laiyang scratched his head, the logic seemed to be correct, but he always felt something was weird.

"Jingjing... Why do I feel like you've fooled me?"

"What am I trying to trick you about?" Tian Jing suddenly glared at Lai Yang.

"You're trying to trick me into hosting a special show to attract traffic to your business show, right?!"

Seeing Tian Jing's stunned expression, Lai Yang immediately took a step back, pointed at Tian Jing and shouted.

"Wow! Jingjing, you are so bad!"

Tian Jing was so angry that she went forward and tried to strangle Lai Yang again. Lai Yang dodged left and right and shouted.

"Look, your conspiracy has been exposed, you are furious, right? Have you ever thought about what I will do if I lose money?"

Tian Jing chased him and shouted, "You were the one who said you wanted to become bigger and stronger and create more glory. You blame me?"

After chasing for a long time without catching up, she suddenly stopped and turned to walk into the community with her beautiful eyes filled with anger.

Lai Yang chased after her with a smile, grabbed her arm, and the soft touch immediately melted in his palm.

"Okay Jingjing, I was just kidding you. Anyway, thank you for tonight."

She stood still and turned around with a cold face.

"Thank me for what?"

Lai Yang put away some of his frivolousness, pursed his lips, raised his eyes and looked at her: "Thank you... You are the only one who supports me, thank you from the bottom of my heart."

She hummed quietly, with the corners of her mouth raised in a charming arc.

"… It's okay. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me if I lose money. You have to pay the rent on time next time."

"Hey you, you..."

Lai Yang didn't finish her words, she smiled quietly, shook her long, soft hair, and stepped on the moonlight in her high heels.

Turned around and went upstairs.
