When it comes to the theme of the new performance season, Lei Wen, the general manager of Dongyi, said that "having scores" is not only a response to the current Shanghai audience carrying scores to enjoy concerts, but also implies gaining spiritual power in art, hoping that the audience can gain unlimited possibilities in life in the theater. "Selling performance tickets is the first step, and how to respond to the increasing artistic taste and aesthetic needs of audiences with better content and services is a higher requirement for theaters." Lei Wen said that from upgrading the "Audience Art Enjoyment Day" to launching the "Art Education Alliance", and then collaborating with Shanghai Music Publishing House to create the first "score" theater in China in the new performance season, all are continuous explorations of this topic. At the same time, the new performance of Ji Dongyi will continue to integrate resources, control the self-produced plays of the main cast, connect the upstream and downstream of the industry chain, and "make reliable original production.".
