Capítulo 1361: Chapter 1352: New Movie (Part 10)
The next evening.
Yancheng Theater, bustling with people.
What was originally an ordinary drama theater has beco the talk of the town. Especially after the Golden Phoenix Awards last night, with Bo Yan and Xia Siyu as the leading roles, attracting countless eyes.
Drama is inherently niche. Limited by venue, each show at most accommodates a few thousand people. But performing a drama is just as challenging for an actor as a large art film.
Furthermore, drama tickets aren’t cheap. Generally, a movie ticket costs a minimum of 9.9 yuan and at most a few hundred. But drama tickets are different, student tickets might be tens of yuan, but those only get you side seats. To get closer and see clearly, you’d need at least a thousand.
For a celebrity show, the prices are even higher. For instance, for this Xia Siyu and Bo Yan show, the minimum is 380. The best seats in the front rows are even sold for 3,680. But 3,680 is just the original price, and they were all snapped up in less than three minutes after they went on sale. Scalped tickets outside went for over 8,000.
Other tickets of different grades also sold like crazy, basically at about twice the face value.
Of course, scalpers selling tickets is normal, hoarding and reselling at high prices. The problem is, even scalped tickets sold out. Many in the ticket circles originally wanted to see Xia Siyu perform poorly to criticize, and now they can’t even get tickets, cursing in frustration.
Among those watching this drama, there weren’t just people from ticket circles, fan groups, haters, but also various celebrities. This marks Bo Yan and Xia Siyu’s debut drama performance. Xia Siyu is relatively fine, Bo Yan’s connections in the circle are decent, and he sent out a pile of tickets.
Shang Feifei was just one of them. Wang Ju also asked but, unfortunately, Director Wang had to go out of town and couldn’t watch live. His teacher Yu Fenfei had made arrangents, Yu Fenfei couldn’t co, but Sun Wujiu could. And other colleagues and friends they had worked with.
Right before the show started, Bo Yan’s fans made a fuss again. After the mountain disaster, most of Xia Siyu’s fans had left, and those who remained kept a low profile, no longer daring to cause a scene. But Bo Yan’s fans were restless, wishing they could tear Xia Siyu to pieces, yelling “Stay away from my brother!”
This ti, several fans outside held banners, chanted slogans, and brought light signs and glow sticks. Actually, it’s nothing unusual; whether it’s a concert or a gala, they’re always equipped like this.
But unfortunately, this is a drama.
Dramas require absolute silence, a dark environnt, anyone who makes noise is the enemy. The organized fans got into a conflict with security, the light signs were confiscated, banners taken down, noise forbidden, theater rules enforced.
If during the drama Bo Yan appears and fans scream, that would be a live broadcast accident, permanently shad on the pillar of disgrace.
Fans had no choice but to wave their flags outside. Even the security helplessly said, “Bo Yan has been preparing backstage for a while, you won’t see him by shouting out here. If you want to enter, do so quickly, don’t block the door, other audiences need to co in.”
The drama starts at eight, at seven-thirty, they were getting everything ready. Not anticipating such an overwhelming turnout, they temporarily deployed security to maintain order.
At seven forty-five, Shang Feifei’s car entered through the back door, directly walking the VIP passage to the venue. She acted in college dramas but hasn’t officially perford.
Yesterday’s award ceremony was still stuck in her mind. She was curious to see how well Xia Siyu could perform.
