The art troupe went viral in this way, which probably only the director had anticipated.
After all, she was the one who agreed to it.
But she didn't expect it to be so popular. Now the Butterfly Theater was packed for every show.
It was like opening a blind box. Just walking down the street, you could hear Jiang Hua's songs everywhere, let alone what it was like for her child.
She even dug out Jiang Hua's posters from a few years ago. How was this polite? She was still a child.
Jiang Hua was almost more important in her heart than her own mother.
She would be in 12th grade next semester. If her grades declined, see if she wouldn't fix Jiang Hua.
Sure enough, early in the morning, her daughter insisted on following her to the theater, even bringing old posters.
"I'm telling you, after getting the autograph, go back home and study."
"Oh mom, you've said it so many times. I promised you. But you have to promise me one thing too. If I rank in the top 10 of my class every time, you'll bring me to the theater once."
Director Cai immediately put on a stern face and said, "Top 10? In your dreams. I'll give you an autograph for top 3. Only if you rank first will I bring you."
The little girl had an unwilling look on her face, but seeing her mom like this, it was impossible to negotiate further.
"Alright, alright."
As soon as the mother and daughter entered the Butterfly Theater, they saw Jiang Hua practicing with Jun Jun and the others again.
During his audition, this guy could sing "A Fairy Sister Lin Falling from the Sky".
He only knew how to sing that one Yue opera, with 800 tricks up his sleeve.
But the new play he wrote wasn't bad.
"Oh, Brother Jiang Hua, can you give me an autograph?"
With that, she opened a large poster.
Holy shit, this was a true old fan. It was a photo from when he debuted. He looked really green.
"Ahem."
Director Cai walked over. The little girl immediately stood up straight.
Jiang Hua was so thoughtful. He immediately signed his name.
"Mom, can I take a photo with Brother Jiang Hua? I'll go back home and do my homework right away."
After saying that, she leaned towards Jiang Hua and took a beautiful selfie.
Then she hopped away.
Jiang Hua raised his hands and said to the director, "Teacher Cai, I was really well-behaved just now. My hands were behind my back the whole time."
"Hmph, come with me to the office for a moment."
Li Yunxiao seemed very happy. When Jiang Hua was in trouble, she was happy.
Qingqing even made a face at him. What a frenemy.
Arriving at the office, the director said, "Jiang Hua, you've completed the first step you mentioned. We have the traffic, but it has nothing to do with Yue opera."
"You promised me."
Jiang Hua immediately said, "Auntie Cai, don't be in a hurry. Isn't the timing ripe now? I'm preparing to hype up a CP, Jun Jun and Yunxiao."
"Once they get popular, we'll hype up another CP with Jun Jun and Qingqing, with multiple intersecting romance lines."
Director Cai was immediately displeased. After all that, this was the stale idea you gave me?
Jiang Hua quickly explained, "Director, for Yue opera to break out of its circle and retain young audiences, in addition to putting on new plays, we also need to learn from the entertainment industry. Hyping CP is the secret to success."
"Only by first getting new audiences into the pit, then letting them see their excellence, can we break out."
Director Cai had actually been persuaded long ago. The day she let Jiang Hua release an album, she had already been convinced.
"Alright, you handle it. Remember to report to me regularly."
Jiang Hua immediately patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me. We'll be able to have a national tour very soon."
This young man was quite optimistic. Director Cai felt that just stabilizing the current traffic was good enough.
...
In the theater, Jiang Hua wasn't performing today.
She had come with a mission.
"Jun Jun, later during the curtain call, hug Yunxiao and spin her around twice."
Ah, what kind of request was this? He wasn't Zhou Huai'an. Why hug Jin Xiangyu?
Jiang Hua saw that she was unwilling and said, "This is a task from the director. Just listen to me."
"But I don't know how to spin in circles."
Chen Lijun was wearing a set of handsome young male lead costume. The pitiful look on her face immediately created a sense of contrast.
Deep down she was still a sweet girl. Li Yunxiao needed to be more playful.
"Stupid, you don't even know how to hug someone and spin?"
Jiang Hua was about to demonstrate, but then he realized that all the people present were girls.
Jun Jun said in a low voice, "Why don't you teach me?"
"Alright, you be Jin Xiangyu."
The lesson began, but he didn't notice that there was a pair of confused big eyes on the side, secretly taking a video.
After the lesson, Jiang Hua clapped his hands and ordered, "Remember to spin during the curtain call."
With that, he strolled to the stage. Today he had come with a mission, equipped with a high-definition digital camera.
The audience entered. A few young people sat next to Jiang Hua, not noticing him at all.
He was in full disguise, hidden very well.
"Do you think we'll be able to see Jiang Hua today? It's like opening a blind box every day."
"How would I know? And what's with this theater? Why don't they include the musicians in the cast list?"
Jiang Hua pouted. If the musicians were also included, one sheet of paper wouldn't be enough.
Musicians were like those behind the scenes. The stage was reserved for the actors.
The curtain opened, and Li Yunxiao playing Jin Xiangyu appeared.
I must say, 24-year-old Li Yunxiao managed to portray a charming mature woman.
Watching the play from the audience seats felt really different from watching it from the side of the stage.
Jiang Hua was filming the whole time.
"Hey, don't you think this person is a bit strange?"
The girl next to him spoke in a low voice. Jiang Hua still heard it. He adjusted his mask and pulled down his hat.
"Ah, quick look, this young guy is so handsome!"
Chen Lijun walked out, mesmerizing the girls in the audience.
This was the charm of a Yue opera young male lead.
"She's not a guy. She's a girl. A girl, understand? The young male leads in Yue opera are basically all played by girls."
They even got a science lesson. The situation was looking great.
During the final curtain call, Chen Lijun hugged Li Yunxiao and spun her around three times. Jiang Hua took the lead in cheering.
This CP was so sweet. The orange situation was excellent. These two were a match made in heaven.
A handsome young male lead and a charming boss lady.
Jiang Hua even prepared the background music, non-stop guessing, guessing, guessing. Haha, next he was going to take the lead in shipping this CP.
The entire audience also started screaming under Jiang Hua's lead.
Haha, lively.
"This young guy's voice sounds really familiar."
Hearing this voice, Jiang Hua quickly slipped away. What was he waiting for?
"This back view also looks very familiar."
"No way, is he Jiang Hua? Holy shit."
By the time the two reacted, Jiang Hua had already slipped backstage.
The actors were removing their makeup. Jiang Hua sat to the side, looking at the filming results.
Very high-definition, not bad. The footage was good.
Li Yunxiao also took out her phone and carefully watched the video of Jiang Hua hugging Chen Lijun just now.
She almost laughed herself into a fit. One was in young male lead costume, the other also in a long robe. It was like two men hugging.
The image was too beautiful. She didn't dare post it, afraid it wouldn't pass review.
She was all in on shipping this CP.
She covered her mouth and giggled.
