Chapter 876 Huge business opportunity!
Thanks to the promotion of "Farewell My Concubine", the business of Zhengyi Temple Opera House is very good.
Especially this drama is scheduled from morning to night, with three different actor teams performing, so that they can barely meet the needs of the audience!
Many of the tickets here are group purchases in cooperation with travel agencies. After tasting the delicious Quanjude roast duck, tourists from all over the world can come here on foot.
Besides, the theater is very close to the Forbidden City and the square, which is considered a place with relatively concentrated tourist attractions.
Of course, there will be more noisy when there are too many tourists, and there are many photos and videos. Sometimes, after forgetting to turn off the flash, it will affect the performance of Peking Opera actors on stage.
Many old drama fans will choose to come over to listen to the drama when there are fewer people to avoid contact with tourists.
It's only 8 o'clock in the evening, and the Zhengyi Temple Opera House is almost full. Tour groups with the same hat are densely seated downstairs. Most of them are mainly middle-aged and elderly people. Some young people who accompany the elderly are also curiously enjoying the legendary Peking Opera!
This art, which is known as a national treasure, is actually almost impossible to touch in the lives of ordinary people, and young people are always looking at it.
Many of them come here to take photos and check in, and they don’t really appreciate it.
Just as Zhang Chu walked in, he saw a girl with a big face wearing Mu Guiying's character costume posing in front of the camera lens.
He carefully avoided the camera, walked to the first private room on the left side of the second floor with a familiarity, and then knocked on the door lightly.
"Please come in!"
A familiar and thick voice rang out from the room.
Zhang Chu pushed open the door and immediately saw Xu Ji and a foreign man sitting next to the wooden railing. This was a bit surprising.
"How fast did you drive your car? Why did I feel like I hung up the phone and you came over?" Xu Ji said with some concern. He didn't want to see the news of Zhang Chu's car accident on the news.
"I moved to a new home and lived in the Houhai area. Houhai is at most five or six kilometers away from here, and it doesn't take much time."
Xu Ji called Zhang Chu over and briefly introduced: "This is my friend, French director Maren Gribach. This time I came to China for the filming of the new film, so I happened to take him over to see Peking Opera."
"Hello, Mr. Gribach, I'm glad to see you."
The director from France almost saw what he looked like with his beard. He wore a small hat on his bare head. After seeing Zhang Chu, he said in French-toned English: "I really didn't expect that the famous Zhang Chu was so young!"
At this time, Xu Ji whispered in Chinese: "Maren is a judge of this year's Cannes Film Festival."
After hearing the news, Zhang Chu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He was actually contacting the judges in advance. Is this treat to Peking Opera considered a bribe?
He had originally watched the lineup of judges at the film festival, but he couldn't remember the series of strange foreign names at all. He never expected that Malen would become a judge. No wonder Mr. Xu called him and gave him up.
This year's judges have European directors, producers and editors, while Chinese Xiangjiang actor Wu Yihao is one of the members of the judges. There is also a director next door to Japan, and then there is one person from Iran and three Asian representatives.
At first he thought Wu Yihao would say a few nice words about "Farewell My Concubine", but he really didn't expect that Xu Ji had connections in this area, which was definitely unexpected!
"You are very famous in our France, and my children love watching your works. If they knew I would have tea with you, they would definitely be jealous of me."
Marun grinned, which made Zhang Chu unable to guess his age.
Judging from this tone, it seems that his children are still underage. Should he praise him for being stronger and stronger?
Many of Zhang Chu's works are very popular in France, and the French version of works is not much slower than the English version!
The St. Paul's influence in Europe is also at the same level as Random House.
"When your book "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi" was explained in the beginning of the book "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi", I mentioned the Molito Public Swimming Pool in Paris. When I was a teenager, I had many wonderful memories there. However, now the Molito swimming pool has been closed and has become a graffiti art museum!"
It can be said that Zhang Chu still has many connections with France, not only the book "Youth Pi", but also the more influential "The Da Vinci Code".
Now his works have been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival in France, so it is reasonable for the French people to like Zhang Chu very much.
Zhang Chu shook his head and said, "It's really a pity that I visited there when I went to Paris before, but I'm sorry I couldn't see the grand occasion at that time!"
In "Youth Pi", the name of Pi is chosen by his uncle Mamaji. The full name is exactly the same as that of the swimming pool. However, under the bad English pronunciation in India, pi is exactly the same as pee (pit). When I was young, I was always troubled by this awkward name until I learned pi.
In fact, the so-called Mamaji is the author of Young Pi, Jan Martel himself. He lived in France for a while when he was a child, so he had inspiration for this.
No one has ever asked Zhang Chu why he knew the name of this swimming pool. The proud French people take it for granted. The world's first bikini swimsuit was born here!
Zhang Chu did go there when he was traveling in France later, so he said so calmly.
"What a pity. After reading your works, my children are still wondering if you have lived in France before."
There is obviously a reason why I have such a deep understanding of France and so many works mentioned France.
"I was interested in France when I was studying European history. The art and culture here are very strong, and it is a veritable art country!"
Zhang Chu appropriately praised France. Just now Malen praised Peking Opera, an amazing art, which was considered a kind of exchange of etiquette.
"I heard that Xu was studying, did you consider studying in France in the past? My wife is a professor at the University of Paris No. 1. Maybe she can write a letter of recommendation for you."
"I'm sorry, I haven't considered this issue yet. If I have plans for this, would you please contact you?"
Just as Zhang Chu wanted to continue chatting, a thought suddenly flashed through his head.
Have you found a huge business opportunity?

The author Jun flew to watch the game between Djokovic and Federer early tomorrow morning, so he cannot continue to break out in the past few days.
But when I come back from the Demon City, I will definitely try my best to show you!
I believe that through the outbreak during the National Day holiday, everyone knows that the author's fungus is not a salted fish.
