The reason for the sold-out tickets was found, and it shocked Stagehand Liu.
He once again felt the power represented by the name Tang Shu because he was so surprised, the coffee spoon in his hand got bent.
"This new actor... is extraordinary—"
Simply with her own ability, she can command tens of thousands of fans to pay for the drama tickets. This is not something ordinary actors can do.
And this is already the second time.
It means that the fans who were mobilized the first time had a very good response to the drama, receiving quite a good reputation among them.
"This is truly miraculous."
Drama has never quite taken off in the circle. Previously actors have tried to promote it as well, but to minimal effect, nearly no ordinary audience was willing to pay for drama tickets. Over time, actors who became popular were no longer willing to come back, and the veteran actors gave up on making futile attempts.
The other two staff members heard his sigh and exchanged a glance, filled with incredulous doubt.
"No way, Manager Liu, are you saying this was Tang Shu’s doing?"
"What else? She must have done something. Quickly, check Weibo!"
Stagehand Liu took out his phone, opened the app, and immediately spotted the clue, "So that’s how it is..."
The other two staff members scrolled the comments section like mad and displayed looks of sudden realization.
"Tang Shu announced the winners of the drama tickets, and other fans decided to join the fray and purchase with their own money, causing all tickets to sell out?!"
"And it’s not just ’The Factory’, it even boosted the sales of the other two dramas she was previously in? I remember in those two she had minor roles with very few lines, right?"
Tang Shu truly is talented.
Both were so stimulated by the news they were at a loss for words.
Stagehand Liu laughed heartily a few times, feeling very refreshed, "Come on, everyone! Sales are amazing, sales are brilliant—as long as they come, I refuse to believe our drama won’t be well-received!"
Is drama more boring than TV dramas?
Current TV dramas seem to have entered a misunderstanding, with finished products trying to please the audience through supposed innovation that often fails, and the audience, now more discerning, are often unsatisfied with mediocre quality.
This has resulted in numerous TV dramas being criticized for belittling the audience’s intelligence, saying the directors trample on everyone’s IQ and the like.
But drama is different. Every line is carefully crafted by the screenwriters and actors, each word has its underlying significance, making it very satisfying to watch.
To put it plainly, modern audiences like to use magnifying glasses to search for hidden highlights, and they might even discover some Easter eggs.
The staff at Imperial Capital’s First Theater were instantly overjoyed.
"Sold out is great, this month... no, our performance for the next several months is secured!"
"Not only does Lotus Drama Society benefit, but our theater will make a fortune, too."
"Hey? There are still so many comments saying they didn’t manage to snatch tickets? They are wailing in the comments section!"
"OMG~~~ So many showtimes are still not enough for them? How many people must have rushed into the ticket-buying app, is the backend holding up, hasn’t it crashed?"
Upon hearing this, Stagehand Liu excitedly banged the table, "Then add more showtimes!"
The future showtimes aren’t set in stone, so since sales are good, why not add more on the fly—what’s there to discuss?
"Notify the administrative department, let them send out a Weibo post using our official account, saying we will discuss with Lotus Drama Society and consider adding more performance times."
