"Junior Brother Zheng, Senior Sister Zhang, go and have a look at Marketplace!"
At Senior Sister Zhang's house, Zheng Fa was talking to Senior Sister Zhang. Senior Sister Yuan rushed in like a gust of wind and spoke anxiously to the two of them.
"What's wrong?"
"The entrance to our small building is blocked. I went there this morning and couldn't even get in!"
Senior Sister Yuan's words made both Zheng Fa a little shocked.
When did Nine Mountains Sect disciple become so brave?
Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang looked at each other and flew in the direction of Marketplace.
Before they even got close to Marketplace, they saw a dark group of people surrounding the small building where Senior Sister Yuan used to work.
There are some familiar faces among this group of people.
There are vendors who used to set up stalls in the market.
There are disciples who often shop at Marketplace.
They gathered here, not only leaving Marketplace with very few customers, but even more than half of the people setting up stalls in the market.
The streets are almost empty.
Seeing the figure of Senior Sister Zhang, the originally noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.
Obviously, these disciples are extremely in awe of Senior Sister Zhang.
But Zheng Fa could still hear someone inside shouting excitedly, "Junior Brother Zheng is here!"
"I watched a play!"
"Let's ask Junior Brother Zheng to play another show."
... Hearing this, Zheng Fa roughly knew how this Nine Mountains Sect rare group incident occurred.
He looked around the crowd and saw three more familiar figures in the crowd.
"Han Qi, what are you doing?"
Han Qi The three of them hesitated, then got out of the crowd sheepishly, and stood in front of Zheng Fa with their heads lowered.
"Didn't you three watch it?"
Zheng Fa saw these three people yesterday.
"Yes..." Han Qi lowered his head and responded in a low voice, "I just saw it before, so I still want to see it."
"..."
"Those senior brothers, haven't they all seen it?"
Han Qi pointed towards the crowd, Zheng Fa looked along his fingertips, and sure enough - a group of senior brothers were mixed in the crowd, smiling at Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang.
These people are all die-hard fans of Senior Sister Zhang, and several of them are law enforcement disciples of Marketplace. Of course, they supported the preview of <Saving Little Cultivator Pang Qian> immediately.
Zheng Fa was in the theater last night and saw these senior brothers.
Senior Sister Zhang looked at this group of people with cold eyes.
"We... we are here to maintain order." A senior brother named Yang said in Zheng Fa's memory, "There are so many people in a mess. If something happens, we have to protect Senior Sister Zhang..."
Senior Sister Zhang stared at the group of Foundation Establishment disciples, squinted his eyes, and asked softly, "Huh?"
"No, protect Senior Sister Yuan..."
"Huh?" Senior Sister Yuan pointed at himself.
"No, protect Junior Brother Zheng..."
"Huh?"
Zheng Fa also hummed.
"Are you right, Junior Brother Zheng?" Senior Brother Yang smiled kindly at Zheng Fa.
"..."
"There are so many people who want us to play it again."
Seeing the senior brothers who were persuaded to leave, Senior Sister Yuan was a little stunned.
"Those who watched it yesterday still want to watch it, and those who haven't watched it also want to watch it after hearing the boasts of the disciples who watched it yesterday." Zheng Fa shook his head and said, "Nine Mountains Sect There really aren't many places to relax."
After coming here for so long, the only entertainment place Zheng Fa knows is--Seeking Fragrance Pavilion.
Just the one opened by the Plain Maiden Sect.
Although that place is quite fun.
But it hurts both money and body.
And it's not as fresh as a drama.
"Junior brother, what do you think?"
"This is a good thing." Zheng Fa said first, "If you can attract Nine Mountains Sect's disciples, you can attract monks from outside."
"Then let's play another show for free?"
"It will be released, but it won't be free... the cost of the play is not low." Zheng Fa thought for a while and then said, "We might as well divide it into internal tickets and external tickets in the future. The internal tickets will be given to the Nine Mountains Sect disciples, as long as the cost can be recovered. The external tickets are used to make money."
The cost of a drama is indeed not low.
Let's not talk about the salary of Sect Leader and Nascent Soul True Person.
The price of those ten talismans alone is not low - in order to create an environment that can accommodate ten thousand people, these ten talismans must be of the highest quality.
According to Zheng Fa, the cost of a drama is divided into two parts:
Part of it is the cost of the talisman, which in modern times is equivalent to the production cost.
Now Nine Mountains Sect's mature producer is Sect Leader.
Even if this technology is popularized in the future, it will still require at least Golden Core monks to produce dramas - generally speaking, only Golden Core can draw the Earthly Talisman.
The other part is the salary of the projectionist.
Sect Leader He also clearly understands this person's character, he is lazy.
Sect Leader is willing to be responsible for the screening this time because this is the first time the play will be screened, and he probably won't be willing to do this job in the future.
You don't need Golden Core Stage to do the job of a projectionist, Foundation Establishment Realm can do it.
But in order to maintain the order of the theater, it is better to use Senior Sister Zhang monks like Golden Core at least in the early stage.
Adding up the two costs, according to Zheng Fa's estimate, a screening costs at least a hundred Spirit Stone.
Senior Sister Zhang nodded and said, "In this case, the price of these internal tickets is initially set at ten Spirit Stone tickets per piece."
Zheng Fa After all, the price is not cheap. One theater ticket is almost the same as three Yellow-grade charms.
This may be the total income of a Qi Refinement Realm disciple in one day.
But for most disciples, watching one drama a month is not a big pressure.
"Also, how will this income be divided in the future?" Senior Sister Zhang suddenly brought up another topic.
She looked at Zheng Fa with an expression that seemed a little difficult to say, "General Affairs Hall, I want 30%."
Zheng Fa knows why Senior Sister Zhang is so hesitant.
The most important thing about drama is actually Sect Leader's World Within the Hut technique.
The venue provided by the General Affairs Hall is actually not worth much.
"I will be responsible for screening in the future." Senior Sister Zhang continued, "But General Affairs Hall has to ask for 30%."
This distribution is much more reasonable.
Zheng Fa thought for a while and said, "In this way, from now on, General Affairs Hall will get 30%, the producer, which is Sect Leader, will get 60%, and the screenwriter, who is me, will get 10%."
Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa with a gentle look in his eyes. "I feel a little wronged to you."
Grieved?
Senior sister, you don't know how miserable modern screenwriters are!
"World Within the Hut is the most important." Zheng Fa said matter-of-factly, "We can let other disciples try it in the future."
"No, why is he wronged?" Senior Sister Yuan on the side said a little puzzled, "This General Affairs Hall is making money, isn't it Nine Mountains Sect who is making money? From now on, this Nine Mountains Sect - is not the junior brother's?"
"..."
"There is still Sect Leader money, in the future..."
"Woo..." Senior Sister Yuan was unable to utter a single word as Senior Sister Zhang covered his beak with a magical talisman.
Senior Sister Yuan, I am thinking about the legacy of the lonely old man... You can think about it, but you can't say it!
Although Nine Mountains Sect disciples are very eager to watch the drama.
But considering the cost, Senior Sister Zhang and Zheng Fa decided to wait half a month before playing <Saving Little Cultivator Pang Qian> again.
In the future, drama screenings will probably be at this frequency.
It is shown once every half month. On the one hand, considering that Nine Mountains Sect disciples have limited income, watching a drama twice a month is considered a high consumption.
Any more would inevitably lead to the suspicion of encouraging Nine Mountains Sect disciples to play with things and lose their morale.
On the other hand, it is also to cope with Jieyin Ship who comes once every half month.
After all, those foreign monks are the main target customers of the drama.
Half a month later, <Saving Little Cultivator Pang Qian> was released again.
This time, more people came to see it.
Nine Mountains Sect About two-thirds of the thousands of people came to the theater, plus some curious foreign monks.
At first glance, the theater, which can accommodate 10,000 people, looks full.
Zhou Ganyuan sneaked into the crowd.
He had a face like Sun Daoyu Senior Brother Sun - before coming, he took a picture of the magic charm on himself.
In the past half month, <Saving Little Cultivator Pang Qian> has become more and more popular in the Nine Mountains Sect.
Especially those disciples who have watched the preview screening, these days they are always bragging about how good the play is.
It makes people feel itchy when they hear it.
However, his master Pang True Person has never allowed his disciples to watch it. This time "Saving Little Cultivator Pang Qian" is released again, he still strictly orders his disciples not to watch it.
Zhou Ganyuan was curious, and after much thought, he could only look at it with Sun Daoyu Senior Brother Sun in his face.
As for why he didn't become a stranger, that's because he bought an internal ticket. A non-Nine Mountains Sect person cannot enter the theater with an internal ticket.
As for why it needs to be changed to Senior Brother Sun--
That's of course because if you turn into someone else, you might meet the original owner in the theater.
Isn't that embarrassing?
It can only become one of the Pang True Person lineage. These senior brothers can't come, so they probably won't be able to meet the original owner.
Senior Brother Sun is just right!
I have spent a long time with him, and I feel comfortable playing Senior Brother Sun.
Sure enough, he walked all the way through the ticket gate and entered the theater smoothly, and no one noticed anything unusual about him.
The play hadn't started yet, Zhou Ganyuan looked around a little bored, and then he saw an acquaintance.
You can't say he's an acquaintance - he saw himself.
Zhou Ganyuan stared at the man, and the man seemed to feel his gaze and turned to look at him.
As the two looked at each other, they both recognized each other's identity.
"Senior Brother Sun?"
Zhou Ganyuan asked softly with his mouth.
The man opposite nodded, looking at each other a little confused - isn't this a change in vain?
On the second day, Zhou Ganyuan just arrived on top of Eighth Peak.
He heard his master ask him coldly, "Did you go to see the play yesterday?"
Zhou Ganyuan quickly said, "It's not me, that's Senior Brother Sun!"
When he said this, he couldn't help but apologize to Senior Brother Sun.
But to be honest - the "Zhou Ganyuan" yesterday was really Senior Brother Sun!
"... What a coincidence, Senior Brother Qinsun said the same thing." Master Pang snorted, "You two changed your appearance and entered the theater. I can see clearly here! Even if you disobey the teacher's orders, you still hide your head and show your tail, which will embarrass my old face!"
Zhou Ganyuan looked at the sneering master and couldn't help but lower his head in shame.
Indeed, my behavior was too sneaky and a bit dishonest.
Wrong!
"Master, have you also read it?"
The smile on Pang True Person's face slowly disappeared, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Fare evasion... seems to be worse, right?"
Zhou Ganyuan asked sincerely.
"..."
In Sect Leader's Thatched Cottage, Zheng Fa was discussing with Sect Leader what to film in the next drama.
He heard Senior Sister Zhang suddenly say to him, "Junior brother Zheng, I intend to let you become a lecturer at the Talisman Arts Pavilion, are you willing?"
"Ah?"
Senior Sister Zhang's words caught Zheng Fa off guard. He raised his eyes and looked at Senior Sister Zhang.
Senior Sister Zhang nodded gently to him, with a serious look on his face, as if he had been thinking about this matter for a long time.
Even Zhou Ganyuan on the side also frowned, looking thoughtful.
Obviously I understand the intention of Senior Sister Zhang.
