Chapter nine hundred and eighty second sale
With the help of someone who knows how to do it, Qiao Yu's overseas commercial performance was very smooth. The diplomat Xu Sihai introduced also helped introduce the lawyer, told Qiao Yu how to operate it, and helped several approvals.
Various approval procedures were quickly completed, and Qiao Yu and the others also obtained the qualification for public performances. The next step was to rent the venue and do promotion.
Wu Tianbao knows this very well. Comrade Wu is now living overseas, but he has not put down crosstalk. He opened a teahouse in Chinatown in San Francisco, and he often speaks crosstalk in the teahouse.
Comrade Wu really brought crosstalk overseas and opened business overseas. This is an intriguing ability.
So Comrade Wu really understands the overseas market. He helped Qiao Yu contact the commercial performance theater and rented a venue with more than 2,000 people in a good location.
The time, location, decoration and price are all very suitable. Qiao Yu was so moved that he really relied on his parents at home and friends at home. If Wu Tianbao hadn't helped him, he would still be fooled.
In terms of publicity, Wu Tianbao touched several fellow villagers in San Francisco, and everyone promoted each other. Wu Tianbao is an old world in San Francisco and has known many people. This time he really spent a lot of effort to help.
Qiao Yu has to do other billboards, TV, newspapers, Internet and other promotions.
This has saved Qiao Yu a lot of effort. They are already familiar with the following publicity. Wu Tianbao introduced them to them, so they went to work on their own.
This is the first time Qiao Yu has been doing commercial performances overseas. He has performed overseas, and the cost is high. Before the people from Xiangwenshe came, they started to spend a lot of money.
The money spent, which made the performance team that followed Qiao Yu terrified.
After all the preparations were done in San Francisco, Qiao Yu went to Los Angeles, followed by Boston.
Let’s talk about three cities for now, these three cities are enough to perform. It will take more than a month to finish all the performances, and they also have enough time to arrange their subsequent performances.
In addition, they also need to look at the ticket sales effect in these three cities. If the effect is very good, then they need to expand the scale of the performance; if it is very miserable, then they also need to adjust it.
The commercial performances in the three cities have been decided, and Qiao Yu has gone all out of money. As the vice president of their company said, if the compensation is very bad this time, their company will not be able to go public next year.
It took them two or three years to recover their vitality, and Qiao Yu was really loyal. In order to Xiang Wenshe, he took out the company's future and gambled.
All preparations have been completed. The next step is to wait for the promotion to sell tickets at the box office. This time, the tickets will be sold 20 days in advance. You can buy them online, telephone, and on-site.
The performance in San Francisco is scheduled for January 1st, National Day. Of course, this is the National Day for Chinese people, and foreigners do not celebrate this festival.
After all the preparations were completed, Qiao Yu and his group returned to Beijing and their work was completed. The next step was to look at the ticket sales situation.
Qiao Yu was so tired when he went abroad. After returning to China, he rested at home for several days.
Beijing was already cooler in September, and the heat factor in the air disappeared, but the boredom in some people has not decreased.
That's the case with Qiao Yu. Don't look calm, but he is really anxious. He is already ready to lose money, but he really thinks he's going to sell tickets, and he's suddenly lost his mind again.
I hope I don't pay too much.
Qiao Yu prayed silently.
In contrast, He Xiangdong's mentality is very good. He doesn't care about it at all when he should eat and drink. As a result, Qiao Yu has to bear the risks, and he will not lose anyway.
But if this commercial performance is not successful, then his face will be greatly lost.
Now He Xiangdong is taking Gao Ganglong to do variety shows on Jiangsu Satellite TV. This is a new show. He Xiangdong is the main star, and Gao Ganglong is the deputy star for him.
Half of the recording has been recorded, and it is now the rest time. The host and guests have a little rest, and the production team is also making up for the actors to facilitate the next performance.
Just as he was resting and putting on makeup, Gao Ganglong asked He Xiangdong carefully: "Master, how did I behave just now?"
He Xiangdong replied: "It's pretty good, don't worry, just be more confident and keep it steady."
Gao Ganglong was putting on makeup and was not easy to move, so he nodded softly and said, "Master, I'll start selling tickets tonight in San Francisco, and I'm so nervous."
Hearing this, He Xiangdong smiled: "What are you nervous? No matter if you make a profit or lose, you can get money. You won't lose anyway. What are you nervous about?"
Gao Ganglong suddenly said, "Hey, that's right."
"Stupid boy." He Xiangdong cursed with a smile.
Gao Ganglong smiled and said, "Master, I'm nervous. You said that our tickets are so expensive. If we can't sell them, we will lose money."
He Xiangdongdao: "The price is not bad, the rear row is 288, the front row is 488, and the front row is 688."
Gao Ganglong complained: "Master, that's US dollars."
He Xiangdong joked: "Just just listen to RMB."
Gao Ganglong's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "This is really a good idea."
"Go to yours." He Xiangdong cursed with a smile.
The makeup was over while the two talked.
He Xiangdong also had a deep look on his eyebrows. He said: "Traditional art has not been performed overseas once or twice, but I'm afraid there are no ones that really make money. When Mr. Mei Lanfang went to the United States in the 1930s, it caused a big sensation. When they were in the economic crisis, they even sold their tickets to the sky. But when they came back after the performance, they still lost tens of thousands of silver dollars, so commercial performances are not easy to do. It would be even more difficult to win both fame and fortune."
Gao Ganglong nodded deeply. Now, the only one who can successfully perform crosstalk in China is Xiang Wenshe.
Or to put it more accurately, He Xiangdong is just alone, because the audience is all coming to He Xiangdong.
Without He Xiangdong and Xue Guo, they were unwilling to spend so much money.
He Xiangdong said to Gao Ganglong: "Okay, let your best be withhold your destiny. Then you can do everything you want. Just record the program first."
"Oh, OK." Gao Ganglong quickly stood up and followed.
...
It was already nine o'clock in the evening, but Qiao Yu and Qiao's wife were not sleepy at all. It was night in China, but it was morning in the United States.
Today is the opening time for the ticket sales of Xiang Wenshe's commercial performance in San Francisco, and they are staring nervously.
