"I have seen the official family, the empress dowager, and the noble concubine..."
After the performance, Zhang Qingfeng was called to his side by Emperor Zhao Gou.Zhang Qingfeng also saluted everyone one by one.
"Yang Aiqing, your arrangement of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is very good." Zhao Kuo praised Zhang Qingfeng.
"Thank you for the compliment from the officials." Zhang Qingfeng quickly thanked.
"Yang Sanlang, your play is very good, but the final ending made Aijia sad, can't you change the ending to a good one?" The Empress Dowager Xie said to Zhang Qingfeng with red and swollen eyes.
It was obvious that she had just cried.
"Back to the Empress Dowager, this is the ending of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in history, and this ending has been passed down for 800 years." Zhang Qingfeng said to Xie.
"The Ai family has also read the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and I didn't feel so sad when I read the book, but I feel sad when I watch your play." Xie said to Zhang Qingfeng.
"Does the Empress Dowager mean to ask the minister to change the ending?" Zhang Qingfeng asked Xie.
"Aijia doesn't mean that. This ending has been circulated for hundreds of years and it's not a matter of changing it. Aijia just said casually that the drama you made up is very good. If there are any good dramas in the future, I will return them to Aijia. Take a look at the performance, and Aijia will be satisfied." Xie said to Zhang Qingfeng.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your compliment. If there is any new drama in the future, I will definitely go to the palace to perform it for Queen Mother." Zhang Qingfeng promised.
…………
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when Zhang Qingfeng left the palace with the members of the drama troupe.
The performance this time was very successful, not only received praise from the nobles in the palace, but also received many rewards from the nobles in the palace.
The jade piece that was rewarded by the Empress Dowager Xie was worth more than a hundred gold.
The next day, Zhang Qingfeng released an announcement that the drama "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" will be staged simultaneously in the elephant shed, lotus shed, and tea garden shed the day after tomorrow.
As soon as the news came out, within half a day, all the tickets for the tea garden shed and the elephant shed were sold out by the guests.
As for the [-] tickets for the lotus shed, Zhang Qingfeng asked people to go door-to-door to the court ministers and dignitaries he had known for more than half a year, but some big businessmen were also invited by Zhang Qingfeng.
Zhang Qingfeng gave at least five tickets to each family, and more than 1000 tickets just gave away to everyone he met.
Fearing that some officials and dignitaries would not come because of their identities, Zhang Qingfeng also specifically asked the person who delivered the letter to mention the identities of the guests who were coming to the lotus shed that day.
It must be ensured that when these noble people come to the lotus shed, they will not mix with the low-ranking people to watch the theater.
This invitation is also an invitation to reflect Zhang Qingfeng's connections.
If there are many people on the day of the performance, no one will dare to underestimate Zhang Qingfeng's strength in the future.
For this performance, Zhang Qingfeng had people clean the entire lotus shed three times inside and out to ensure that no dirty things would stain the guests' clothes.
In order for these guests to watch the show better, Zhang Qingfeng also asked people to prepare a lot of desserts, fruit cakes and other food.
He also asked the owner of the lotus shed to tear down some walls and rebuilt many new huts outside, mainly so that the guests would not hold back for too long when they wanted to go to the toilet.
Not only Zhang Qingfeng is looking forward to this performance, but the owner of the Lotus Shed also attaches great importance to it.
If Zhang Qingfeng can really invite all civil and military officials of the Song and Manchu Dynasties to come here to watch a play, then the lotus shed will become the top and most upscale Goulan in Lin'an City in the future.
For this reason, he did not know where he had recruited hundreds of security personnel to guard against any accidents while these big shots were watching the show.
That night, under Zhang Qingfeng's expectant mood, finally, a carriage and sedan chair arrived at the door of the lotus shed.
Seeing these people, Zhang Qingfeng personally stepped forward to receive them one by one.
The people who came were all court officials and dignitaries invited by Zhang Qingfeng. Zhang Qingfeng had painted in many houses.
Not only these officials and dignitaries, but also their family members, Zhang Qingfeng can also remember the names.
As the time for the performance approached, more and more carriages and sedan chairs arrived, Zhang Qingfeng also breathed a sigh of relief.
In just one or two hours, at least half of the court officials and powerful families came.
"Yang Sanlang, it's late, don't be surprised." Lu You's son Lu Ziyu said to Zhang Qingfeng while helping Lu You.
"It's not too late, the drama hasn't started yet, but it's coming soon, you guys came at the right time." Zhang Qingfeng said to Lu Ziyu and Lu You.
"Three leaves, take Mr. Lu to the front row." Zhang Qingfeng instructed a young man.
Under Zhang Qingfeng's reception, when the performance was about to start, most of the people he invited basically came, even if some officials didn't come by themselves, it made the family members come.
The reason why these officials and dignitaries give Zhang Qingfeng face is mainly because he is not a civil servant, and he has no conflict of interest with all the officials and dignitaries, but has some friendship.
In addition, Zhang Qingfeng's drama has already been performed in the palace, and has been praised by officials and nobles in the palace.
Therefore, many people also wanted to see how good-looking Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were in Zhang Qingfeng's new rehearsal.
For this performance, Zhang Qingfeng spent a lot of money.
After several months of exploration, he has added a lot of new things to his theatrical performances.
Like igniting gunpowder to create smoke.
Sprinkle white confetti from above to simulate snow and more.
After adding these props, the atmosphere of the whole performance became unusual, and many things could make the audience stunned.
In order to make the show more exciting, Zhang Qingfeng also created a lot of music, so that when the actors express various emotions, they can have beautiful music that can set off the atmosphere.
For this performance, Zhang Qingfeng is still planning to perform three consecutive performances just like in the palace.
After three performances, most people can finish watching all the episodes, so they won't have to divide them into several days to watch one by one.
The performance lasted until the early hours of the morning.
Zhang Qingfeng stood at the door again, sending everyone out of the Goulan one by one.
As the news spread that Zhang Qingfeng had successfully invited court officials and dignitaries to watch Liang Zhu's drama, Liang Zhu's drama became popular ""
The next day, the Lotus Pavilion began to sell tickets to ordinary audiences. As for Goulan, Zhang Qingfeng's theater troupe also arranged three performances a day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.
Zhang Qingfeng still set the ticket price for a performance at between [-] and [-] yuan.
That's it, the tickets for each performance are still in short supply.
From this we can see how popular the Liang Zhu drama is, and how many rich people there are in Lin'an City.
Only two months later, with the end of The Legend of the White Snake, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai once again detonated the entire Goulan circle.
For the next two weeks, Liang Zhu's dramas were full of attendance.
It wasn't until half a month later that Liang Zhu's attendance dropped to around [-]%.
A month later, Liang Zhu's attendance rate dropped to around [-]%.
At this time, Zhang Qingfeng reduced the fare to [-]%.
Two months later, the ticket price was reduced to half.
When Liang Zhu's fame spread, many outsiders went to Lin'an to watch Liang Zhu's drama.
At the same time, when Liang Zhu's performance was on the right track, Zhang Qingfeng handed over the matter to Old Man Liu to take care of it.
As for himself, he spent every day in the printing workshop.
After two months of printing and binding, all [-] sets of Fengshenyanyi's books have been printed.
Next, he was considering the issue of selling these books.
At the same time, the newspaper he planned was also ready to start publishing.
