The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul
Chapter 783 - 782. One ticket is hard to get.

Chapter 783: 782. One ticket is hard to get.

While netizens were shocked, a question arose in their hearts.

An actor with forty million fans taking part in a stage play, was that even necessary?

Firstly, it wasn’t profitable and required even more effort than TV dramas to pull off the characters, and secondly, stage plays had almost negligible influence, and the actor might even lose fans due to a prolonged absence from the big screen.

High input with low returns—it seemed like a losing proposition.

"What was this actor thinking? With so many fans already, why turn to stage plays? Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?"

"Other actors hone their skills in theater clubs before debuting, hoping to accumulate enough experience for a big break. Why is it the other way around for her?"

"Speaking of which, I remember Tang Shu studied traditional Chinese medicine. Could it be that she feels insecure and wants to add a gold plating to her acting career?"

"Damn! Your theory is even more far-fetched. Tang Shu has been in works by Director Li and Director Xie, does she really need to go for gold plating?!"

"...You make a good point, so what’s the real reason?"

Could it be "I love theater, theater makes me happy"?

At this thought, everyone couldn’t help but shudder.

What the hell kind of happiness is that! Any sane person wouldn’t torment themselves like this. When there’s a shortcut to success, who would stick to the main road?

No matter how the netizens couldn’t comprehend Tang Shu’s thoughts, after the release of that advertorial, some couldn’t help but log onto the official website of Imperial Capital’s First Theater, intending to buy a ticket and see for themselves.

But the next second, everyone looking at their phones was as if they had seen a ghost.

"...Damn? How are the tickets gone???"

"Sold out, all of them are sold out, even the upcoming five shows mentioned in the article!"

"Is it just me or is there a problem with how I opened this? The official website’s got a BUG?"

"Refresh it again and see! It can’t be that weird, they usually don’t sell out that fast——"

"No, no, no, I just asked a friend who works at the theater, and the tickets are indeed gone, especially those for ’Youthful Ambition,’ they were virtually sold out in seconds!"

"Brother upstairs, not just ’Youthful Ambition,’ tickets for other stage plays at the Imperial Capital Theater in the next three days have also been snapped up, okay?"

"Ah, what... what happened, can someone explain?"

It all started a few minutes ago.

In Starshine Media, once Shen Yan had confirmed the tweet he was to synergize with as per the boss’s orders, he quickly retweeted it on behalf of Tang Shu, ensuring that her fans were alerted as soon as possible.

And when this tweet miraculously met with the 300 lucky audience members who had just watched the live theater performance, both groups, driven by excitement, started hopping around in the comment section, further aggravating the remaining old fans’ jealousy.

"So you all went to see the uncle’s theater show and kept it a secret from us for nearly a month???"

"So heartless! If I had known earlier, I would’ve paid to go too. That’s the living uncle, the living one!"

"Damn, it was a theater performance, it’s a continuous performance lasting over an hour, I want to see it too!"

"Shameless, why didn’t you tell us earlier? What about being a family that stans the same uncle? Never thought you’d betray us!"

"Guys, beauties, what are you waiting for? If you didn’t score a free ticket, then pay for one, okay? This is uncle’s first stage play story, we absolutely can’t miss it!"

"Right, right, right, damn, I’d be an idiot to keep chatting with you guys!"

Actor Tang Shu’s personal Weibo has forty million fans, and all are active, not a single zombie follower amongst them. Although most couldn’t discover this fresh new Weibo post the moment it was published, the number of fans who did receive the news was still quite substantial.

In an instant, millions of fans surged into the official ticketing portal of Imperial Capital’s First Theater, the search bars almost all filled with the words ’Youthful Ambition’.

Buy it!

I must buy it!

"Folks, please show mercy, don’t snatch it away from me!"

"The time to battle with internet speed has arrived, I’ve recently upgraded to a super large data plan, so nobody be polite with me!"

"Eh? Gone, gone?"

"Gone!"

The last shout came from Stagehand Liu, who was squatting on the official website.

His eyes were tightly fixed on the ticket backend interface, staring at the densely packed "Sold" signs and questioning his life.

"Am I hallucinating? How come even the cheapest tickets are sold out? No one has ever chosen these corner seats, and today people are actually fighting over them?"

Could it be because I’ve been under so much stress from drumming up business lately that the thing I’ve been dreaming of day and night suddenly materialized?

This world has become, fantastical, indeed!

***

The last month of the year quietly arrived, and as "You Smile 2" continued its hot serialization, "Journey Together" came to its final broadcast.

On Saturday night, Tang Shu cozied up on the sofa, comfortably at ease, having snatched another grilled fish from next door, touching her belly, stuffed full, joyfully awaiting the variety show’s broadcast.

On the other side, Xu Qianyun and Qu Junfeng habitually started cracking sunflower seeds.

"Sis, is the variety show about to end?"

"Yes, two more episodes and it will be over. The domestic scenic spot was the last shooting location."

"Ah—It’s ending so soon? I haven’t had enough..."

Xu Qianyun suddenly felt that the toothpick and sunflower seeds in his hands were no longer appealing. How could he live without seeing his domineering sister show off? Who would tell him?

Wait a minute... Did some messy stuff sneak in there? His sister was a beautiful little fairy, she would never stoop to showing off, such a loss of prestige!

Qu Junfeng, leisurely cracking sunflower seeds next to him, suddenly felt a chill and looked up at his friend, meeting his face lost in fantasies, and then scooched away.

Don’t ask, asking is just a reflex!

The slow-to-catch-on Xu Qianyun looked at his little buddy with perplexity, "You... What are you scared of?"

Qu Junfeng: "..."

QAQ~~~ So what if he’s scared!

He’s so annoyed, why doesn’t he have such an awesome sister—

Tang Shu’s gaze wandered between the two with confusion, feeling that their interaction mode seemed a bit different. After guessing for a long time and not deducing any useful information, she simply took the remote control and turned up the volume a couple of notches.

"It’s starting."

Saturday, at 8:30 pm sharp, the ninth episode of "Journey Together" began.

As a familiar tune started playing, the ten-member guest team from two different countries appeared in everyone’s view, and behind them loomed a range of mountains, covered with greenery.

It was the most daunting peak in the Eastern Country, as well as a 5A-grade scenic area.

"I’m telling you— their task this time is to become forest rangers?!"

"Cool! Guardians of the mountain, heroes traversing the forests to rescue the distressed!"
