Chapter 530
The auditorium exploded instantly.
"My god?! It was actually written by Ye Gouzi?!"
"Ye Xuan actually crossed over to write scripts, and he can write them so well?! Does this guy have no bottlenecks?!"
"Is Ye Gouzi trying to sweep the literary world?! How are other playwrights supposed to live?!"
Yes, with this "Thunderstorm" out, how are other Chinese playwrights supposed to live?!
The same voice also appeared in the minds of the many playwrights, drama critics, and drama theorists who were watching this opening play.
When they first learned that the National Theatre of China had chosen an original new play as the opening play, they were also full of doubts.
But after watching today's performance, how could they have even half a point of doubt left?!
From the reactions of the international troupes, one could see how stunning this opening play was.
Those foreigners who always had their noses in the air, when had they ever shown such a shocked expression?
Look at this head of the Bear Country troupe who once claimed that Chinese scripts were all garbage.
Now, he was discussing "Thunderstorm" with great enthusiasm.
Look again at that head of the Beautiful Country troupe who initially claimed he would die before watching a Chinese play a second time.
Right now, he was already eagerly asking when the second "Thunderstorm" performance would be, which was clearly a sign that he was prepared to watch it again.
At this very moment, the experts and scholars were also in the shock brought by "Thunderstorm."
China had never produced such an excellent drama work!
Many people even dared to pat their chests and say that with the release of "Thunderstorm," a heavy and colorful stroke had been left in the history of Chinese drama!
After the opening play ended, the experts and scholars couldn't wait to write their reviews.
【Li Long, Editor-in-Chief of Chinese Drama Magazine: The work "Thunderstorm" has provided too many good experiences with reference value for the entire Chinese literary creation; this is simply an important milestone in the history of modern Chinese drama!】
【Zhou Bin, Director of the Institute of Culture at the Academy of Social Sciences: Don't miss "Thunderstorm"! A brilliant play, a play with great qualities!】
【Yang Di, young drama critic: "Thunderstorm" is undoubtedly the pinnacle of drama history, and it has reached a state of perfection in dramatic art......】
With the voices of the experts and scholars, the netizens who had never paid attention to drama before were all shocked by these successive wordings.
Milestone?!
Great qualities?!
Pinnacle?!
Isn't it just a play?!
How can it be so exaggerated?!
Just when many netizens were puzzled, the audience who had finished watching this opening play had already started calling for "Thunderstorm" one after another.
"I'll blow up Ye Xuan for a hundred years! I'll blow up 'Thunderstorm' for a hundred years! Everyone hurry up and go watch this play; you'll regret it for a lifetime if you don't!"
"I don't allow anyone to have not watched 'Thunderstorm' yet! 'Thunderstorm' simply writes through the most tragic tragedy in the world; the aftertaste is too strong after watching it!"
"Fate! Unjust fate directed me here! As soon as the lines came out, I got goosebumps all over! I was originally accompanying a friend to watch it, but from then on, I fell into the drama pit 【Ye Gou mighty jpg】"
Under the wholehearted recommendation of the audience who had finished watching "Thunderstorm" and were eager to write essays, more and more netizens had their appetites whetted by these uniform good reviews.
Ye Gouzi actually wrote a drama script?!
And the word-of-mouth exploded on the first performance?!
Then I must watch it!
In this way, although the performances of the International Drama Season were to last for a full hundred days, the tickets for "Thunderstorm" were sold out in just three days.
When Dean Tian learned that the tickets for "Thunderstorm" were all sold out, he almost doubted his own ears.
All... sold out?!
How is this possible?!
It's no wonder Dean Tian was so surprised.
You know, compared to movies and TV shows, drama definitely belongs to a niche art, with no topics or exposure at all.
Plus, watching a play costs at least hundreds, or even thousands, in viewing costs.
After all, the occupancy rate of drama has always been low.
It is not a strange thing for many plays to have a ten percent occupancy rate on their first performance.
Conversely, if you can achieve a seventy or eighty percent occupancy rate, it can definitely be called a blockbuster!
And right now, a one hundred percent occupancy rate is simply the first time in history!
Just when Dean Tian was dumbfounded, the staff in charge of the ticketing system continued to report.
"Dean, many guests are also asking if there are standing tickets for 'Thunderstorm'?! Even if there are no seats, it's fine to just enter and stand to watch..."
Is this still the extremely picky audience of the past?
To watch a "Thunderstorm," they are willing to stand?!
After Dean Tian blankly agreed to this request that he had never even thought of before, and after hanging up the phone, he saw Jim, the head of the Royal Troupe of the John Bull country, come to the door.
This time, the golden hair on Jim's head was not as frizzy as before, and even his tone was much softer.
"Dean Tian, there are too few people watching our play; can I apply to change to the "Thunderstorm" session?!"
As soon as the words came out, Dean Tian's eyes widened like copper bells.
What's the situation?!
0 ······Seeking flowers· 0
This head of the Royal Troupe of the John Bull country is actually taking the initiative to apply to cancel his own performance session?!
Seeing Dean Tian's incredulous expression, Jim couldn't help but show a bitter smile on his face.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too few people coming to watch their performance, he wouldn't want to open his mouth either!
The day after the opening play, it was the Royal Troupe's turn to perform.
Jim, who had rehearsed hundreds of times and always felt that his troupe's performance was unparalleled in the world, felt inferior for the first time.
It had nothing to do with stage effects, nothing to do with the actors' acting skills, it was purely a matter of being inferior in the script.
Even Jim, as the head of the troupe, thought so, let alone the audience below the stage.
"Feels a bit boring, not as good as 'Thunderstorm'."
"Really want to watch 'Thunderstorm' a second time, but I just couldn't grab a ticket."
"I've been looking forward to it for so long, why is the performance effect not as good as 'Thunderstorm'?!"
.............. 0
The audience's discussion also reached Jim's ears. Seeing that the first performance still had a seventy percent occupancy rate, and then the occupancy rate kept dropping to fifty percent, thirty percent...
Jim could no longer sit still.
To avoid his own Royal Troupe losing face in this International Drama Season, Jim solemnly proposed the idea of reducing the number of sessions in front of everyone in the troupe.
He thought he would be criticized by many people in the troupe; after all, once this decision was made, many actors' rehearsals were immediately wasted.
Unexpectedly, after Jim's voice fell, it won a lot of support instead.
"Change our sessions to 'Thunderstorm'? Then can we watch 'Thunderstorm' a few more times?!"
"Leader, can you help me get a few tickets for 'Thunderstorm'?!"
"Then I'll have time to watch 'Thunderstorm' again! You can learn so much from this play..."
Good guy!
It turns out the whole troupe treated "Thunderstorm" as a learning example; where did they remember that they once aspired to crush everyone?!
Withdrawing his thoughts, Jim nodded to Dean Tian.
"The only request is, can you help us save a few tickets for 'Thunderstorm'..."
After sending off Mr. Jim of the Royal Troupe in a daze, Dean Tian received several other heads of international troupes one after another.
As for the reason for the discussion, it was exactly the same.
Fearing that their troupe's occupancy rate would fall to a new high, the international troupes all took the initiative to propose whether they could change some of their own performance sessions to "Thunderstorm" sessions.
By the time Dean Tian sent everyone away and let the staff add new "Thunderstorm" sessions, only one voice remained in his mind.
Has "Thunderstorm" become this popular?!
Mr. Ye Xuan, you are truly awesome! Ten.
