When Chen Gong and Gao Lan took over Dongjun, Han Zhan's theater in Yedu City was officially opened to the public.

The day before the opening, Ju Su came here to ask Han Zhan for instructions: "Lord, the theater will open tomorrow, and I don't know how to charge the fee."

"The tickets for the theater are divided into three grades, A, B, C," Han Zhan stretched out his three fingers and said, "The tickets for C are ten, sit on the bench behind to watch the show; the tickets for B are one hundred, you can sit at the square table in front to watch the show, and you can also enjoy tea and pastries; the tickets for A are one, you can sit on the second floor to watch the show, and you can enjoy tea, pastries and wine and meat."

After the completion of the building of the theater, Han Zhanming Ju Su placed eight square tables near the stage in the lobby on the ground floor, divided into two rows, each row of four square tables, each square table with a bench around each, and one stool can sit for two people; near the door, there were five rows of benches, each row of six benches, and each stool can sit for four people; the seats upstairs were designed according to the standards of four people per table, with a total of ten tables.

Ju Su thought silently for a while and found that the income of one show was more than 70 pieces. If three shows were performed a day, it would be more than 200 pieces. In the long run, Jizhou would have more than 70,000 pieces of income each year, and he could raise a lot of troops. From this point of view, the main public setting up a theater is indeed a good business with great profits.

"Now there are only four dramas, each performing for three days, and then another one is replaced." Although he wrote the Huangmei Opera, Emperor Xian of Han and the Chinese Chinese military officials and the Chinese military officials of the government liked it, Han Zhan was still unsure whether the officials and the nobles and people in the capital bought it: "After watching half a month, if you see that the movie is popular, you can increase the performance time. If you don't like it, you will temporarily withdraw it."

In this way, on the first day of the theater opening, there were crowds of people watching the fun outside. They were all asking what this Huangmei opera was and whether it was similar to the previous hundreds of operas.

However, these people are ordinary people, and they have no chance to easily see Huangmei Opera. After talking for a long time, they still couldn't figure out what was going on. For those who spent ten yuan to listen to operas, they scoffed at them: "When watching a hundred operas, they don't give them any money. Now, they have to pay ten yuan to watch operas in a theater. They are simply a waste of money."

As the show was about to start, Ju Su sent a hundred soldiers to maintain order to drive all the people watching the fun to both sides of the road so that the dignitaries who came by the bus could successfully enter the theater to watch the show.

The people who bought square table tickets on the ground floor were basically all officials. After meeting each other, they bowed to each other. A filial and honest man named Li couldn't help but frown when he saw the ordinary people sitting on a long bench in the back row and said to his colleagues on the side: "It's really outrageous. How can we sit with ordinary people to watch a show? We should let the boss of the theater drive all these people out."

The official who invited him to watch the show quickly said to him: "Brother Li, be careful of his words, be careful of his words. This theater was opened by Marquis of Anyang. If your words are leaked, there will be trouble. Don't mention this matter again. If Brother Li doesn't want to sit with these ordinary people and watch the show, you can sit on the second floor next time."

Li Xiaolian looked up at the second floor and saw that the people sitting above were mostly wealthy businessmen with family members. Thinking of the fact that if it weren't for the invitation of his friends, he would probably not be able to afford a ticket worth 100 yuan, let alone a ticket worth 2. He made a secret decision in his heart that if this Huangmei opera was not good later, even if he offended his friend, he would get up and leave.

The girls in the backstage troupe washed up early and silently recited operas that they had been so familiar with. Although they had performed many shows, it was the first time they performed in the theater. I wonder if the songs they sang would be loved by the guests who are visiting today.

When the sound of musical instruments came from the stage, everyone knew that the performance began. The theater, which was originally as lively as a vegetable market, suddenly became silent, and only the sounds of various musical instruments coming from behind the curtain were heard.

As a woman with beautiful eyebrows appeared on the stage, all the audience had a lit up feeling. When the girl opened her mouth, her singing style was gentle and charming, as clear as the singing of a nightingale, making everyone intoxicated.

Even Li Xiaolian, who was unwilling to listen to the opera with ordinary people just now, shook his head and the feather fan in his right hand rhythmically hit the palm of his left hand. At this moment, he only had the girls singing opera on the stage, and he could not even consider whether watching opera with ordinary people would damage his identity as filial and honest.

"Brother Li," Seeing that Li Xiaolian was so obedient, the official beside him asked tentatively: "I wonder if today's Huangmei Opera may catch your eye?"

Li Xiaolian nodded and said seriously: "No, really good. I want to ask, is this Huangmei opera only sung today, or is it often there."

"There are three shows every day, a day." The official replied: "It is said that there are four Huangmei operas, each of which is sung for three days. Today's movie is called "The Female Prince Consort", and the next movie is called "The Fairy's Pair". If Brother Li likes it, we can come back in three days..."

"It's so good, so good!" Li Xiaolian said yes repeatedly. He had long forgotten in his heart. Not long ago, he kept saying that he didn't want to watch the show with ordinary people, and even planned to find that Huangmei opera was not good, and he left. He even thought in his heart that if he could listen to the show here every day, he could sit on the bench behind.

In order to find out whether the people of this era would like later dramas like Huangmei Opera, Han Zhan specially sent people to check them out. When he learned that the place was full, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He began to think that if Huangmei Opera could become famous among the people, then the counties controlled by Jizhou could select personnel to come here to learn Huangmei Opera, and strive to build theaters in various parts of Jizhou within half a year to a year. If the people had these entertainment things, they would not be idle every day.

In addition to Han Zhan, those who care about the opening of the theater were also many civil and military officials in Jizhou. Although they had watched Huangmei Opera in the prefecture of the prefecture and even sent their singers to study, everyone was unsure whether Huangmei Opera could be loved by many people in the capital.
