Chapter 434. The drama begins

After entering the troupe, Luo Yihang and Grandpa Gou Gou did not go into the theater, but went straight to the backstage.

It's so lively backstage, no less lively than outside.

The young students who will be performing on stage today have all put on their makeup and costumes early in the morning. Some are reciting lines, some are clearing their throats, and some are demonstrating their body movements, busy preparing for the performance.

The music masters gathered together, polishing and tuning their instruments.

The young students who did not have any performance tasks also came, helping here and there, running around.

Anyway, they all look busy.

But it's more like using busyness to suppress tension.

Because Luo Yihang had already seen a young student carrying a chair and running three times.

This also includes Captain Zhang.

I don’t know what Captain Zhang was busy with before.

When he saw Luo Yihang coming over, he ran over hurriedly with sweat all over his head.

"Boss Luo, old man, you're here, hurry up, find a place to sit... Oh, it's so messy, why isn't there even a chair... Hey, Pang Yanyu, take the chair in your hand and go get another one..."

The child who was running around with the chair just now finally found a place to put it. He ran over with his two long braids swinging, put the chair down and ran away again.

"Hey, Boss Luo, are they really all sold out? I couldn't believe it when I heard the news. Our entire group couldn't believe it. Maybe something went wrong."

"Xiao Xiao said that it's really sold out. Many people haven't bought it yet and want to reserve it for next week. This... this, you are really amazing."

"I heard from them that everyone who came here wanted to see Xiao Xiao, but we have arranged Mu Ke Zhai, a play about Mu Guiying, with Tao Tao as the main character. Xiao Xiao's performance as Yang Zongbao is not very good, so should we change him to The Peacock Flies Southeast?"

"I don't know if it's too late..."

My goodness, Luo Yihang didn't say a word, just listened to Captain Zhang talking about random topics and almost incoherently.

Luo Yihang interrupted him with a smile: "Captain Zhang, calm down, listen, the audience has entered, you will know after you take a look."

"Yes, yes, yes." Captain Zhang also reacted.

Seeing is believing.

Go and have a look quickly.

Everyone was about to go out.

I saw Teacher Xu walking towards me in a hurry, also coming from behind.

Her face still looked sick, but her cheeks were flushed with excitement.

"Captain Zhang, Mr. Luo, old man, are the seats really full?"

When Team Leader Zhang saw Teacher Xu, he frowned and said, "Why is Teacher Xu here? You are recovering from surgery, so you need to rest."

"How can I stay here?" Teacher Xu asked anxiously again, "Is it really full?"

Grandpa Gonggong waved his hand and said, "I was just about to go and see the girl, she came, let's go together."
-
Everyone came to the side of the stage, opened a crack in the curtain and looked out.

The small theater was already more than half full, with people still trickling in at the door.

Looking out through the glass door at the entrance, it was pitch black.

It will definitely be full today.

There may not even be enough space.

When Luo Yihang came in, he saw several people asking if they could get a refund, transfer their tickets, or even pay more.

They can increase the original ticket price of 40 yuan to 60 yuan.

I’m afraid scalpers will appear in the near future.

I have to remind Captain Zhang.

Watching it.

Xiao Wu, who came to help from the Cultural Center, came over in a hurry and said, "Captain Zhang, there are still a lot of people outside the door. They didn't buy tickets and came here to try their luck. The show will start in just over ten minutes. Should we ask them to leave or what?"

"Are there any more people? How many are there?" Captain Zhang asked hurriedly, adding: "If we can't ask them to leave, how can we let them go?"

The audience that they had waited for so many years finally came, and they were finally here, so how could they let them go? Xiao Wu hurriedly said, "About 40 or 50 people."

"That's not bad." Captain Zhang was relieved. "Add seats in the aisle, on both sides, and behind the last row. We can accommodate 40 to 50 people."

"What about the ticket money?"

"What's the cost? Just come and see it."

He is quite generous.

Luo Yihang quickly stopped him and said, "Those without tickets are free, but those who have bought tickets will be dissatisfied. Let's charge them half price."

"Okay, let's listen to Mr. Luo." Captain Zhang obviously didn't think too much about it and agreed directly.

Xiao Wu hurried to notify everyone, and Captain Zhang also asked people to look for stools everywhere, including folding stools, plastic stools, small stools, and all the available ones were brought.

Teacher Xu and Grandpa Gou Gou were very satisfied to see so many audiences. Their faces were full of joy. They turned backstage to give final checks and instructions to the actors.

Anyway, today, everything related to the troupe exudes a sense of urgency.

Alas~~ Luo Yihang shook his head.

Neither the city nor the theater troupe has ever experienced such publicity efforts, and their considerations were really not thorough.
-
After a while, a group of audience members came in with small stools of various colors, under the guidance of the staff of the cultural center, and squeezed in wherever there was space, and the whole theater became full.

Fortunately, the theater was newly built, and the county funded it, so the theater didn't have to pay for it. The facilities were pretty good, and the air conditioning was strong enough, otherwise so many people would have fainted if they were crowded together.

Luo Yihang then found time to carefully look at the audience.

Analyzing from the comments under the video, Luo Yihang thought that all the people coming today would be young girls, shouting slogans and yelling like star-chasers.

I didn't expect that the people who came would be of all ages, young, middle-aged and old, and the ratio of men to women was about the same.

Although there are more little girls, it is not exaggerated.

There was no shouting, yelling or yelling. Everyone sat quietly waiting for the performance to begin.

Ha, it seems that the Internet is different from reality. On the Internet, everyone is like a female hooligan.

In reality, they are quite quiet...
-
Ding ding ding ding, the sound of gongs and drums sounded.

The show begins.

First, two ladies in blue came out from the backstage and stood quietly at the edge of the stage.

Then a female clown in a red jacket came on stage and turned around.

This is called warm-up, telling the audience to pay attention.

Followed by.

The beats of gongs and drums suddenly became rapid. Tao Tao, wearing a bright red battle robe, held a pheasant feather in one hand and pressed it in front of him, while another pheasant feather was held high on his head, swinging up and down.

Accompanied by gongs and drums, he quickly walked out from the backstage and made his appearance in the center of the stage.

He is heroic and playful, so handsome.

Then, she was fucked on the stage.

There was no reaction from the audience.

Taotao was panicked.

There was silence for a second or two, and suddenly someone in the audience shouted "Good".

Then, others followed suit and cheered.

The sound was chaotic, disorderly, and noisy, but enthusiastic.

The voices of several little girls stood out: "Ah! Taotao!"

He only shouted once and stopped immediately.

This shows that the audience who came this time had done their homework and already knew the actors in the troupe, at least they recognized the “leading roles”.

However, they probably had never watched an opera before, so they didn’t know how to cheer or when to cheer.

New actors and new audiences all need to get used to each other.
