"babble......"

There were thunderous cheers in the venue, men and women, old and young, tall, short, fat and thin, all smiling and booing, but they were not really trying to drive the actors off the stage, but were holding the characters on the stage with all their hearts. Son.

There were two comic actors standing on the stage. They were short and funny, with a child's head on their head, and round faces with double eyelids and big eyes. As soon as they stood on the stage, they were full of joy and great popularity with the audience; Needless to say, she has real stuff. She is proficient in singing and singing. She can land on the moon and touch Sister Chang'e's heels with her voice. This person is really popular. He often speaks on stage without waiting. When you shake off your baggage, the audience laughs with joy. How can this not make your colleagues angry to death?

The man standing at the table admiring him is quite tall, probably because he is slightly hunched over to match the shaved head. He is also a fashionable person, he looks like an old lady, and his hair is also neatly styled like an old lady. , he is quite a big man and he has a perm, and he looks very good-looking, but he has a lot of wrinkles on his face, which does not match well with his shiny black hair, and he looks a bit old-fashioned and not serious.

These two are not unknown people. They have changed their names regardless of whether they work or sit. They are both actors who have become popular in the Beijing and Tianjin folk art circles in recent years. If they are good at talk, they will act, and if they perform well, they will be entertained. The funny one on the left The name of the person is Guo Yueguang, and his stage name is Guo Wenguang. The one on the right is named She Xu, and his stage name is She Wentai. He is nicknamed "Old Lady She" in the industry. This old boy has fallen in love with acting in recent years. Old lady, can't you call me Old Lady?

A layman doesn't understand, but an expert knows. These two may look young, but they are both "old gentlemen" of the "literary" generation, and the higher up they are of the "treasure" generation, and not many of them survive; and Not only do these two have seniority, they are also the most marketable in the crosstalk industry. They eat both domestically and overseas. It is said that the kangaroos they provoked during a special performance in Australia laughed out loud. They almost lost all the kangaroos in the bag. That’s how awesome!

"...If you want to say kiss, kiss the audience! The hearts of the audience and the actors are connected... I remember that there was a saying in the early years, no gentleman will not support artists. I advise you... ....Don't get involved in wine, sex, wealth, and don't get involved in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. If you have anything to do, come to the Le De Club, throw in two monthly tickets and relax..."

At this time, the two of them finished their jokes. The whole cast of "Le De Club" came on stage to thank the audience. Guo Wenguang sang his best Taiping lyrics, which were nice, touching, and educational. Compared with others, those who were serious Mr. Dong Heng, an old-fashioned educator, turned into a fool. 'Taijun She' interjected: "Hey, Master Guang, what do you mean by throwing away two monthly tickets to relax?" Guo Wenguang chuckled and narrowed his big eyes: " Shh, this is a secret..."

"oh......"

She Wentai looked suddenly enlightened, but she was actually more confused. It doesn't matter. As long as someone understands.

After the two big names thanked the audience and led a group of actors to the backstage, they saw a lean old man running towards them.

This old man wore a gray coat with thick soles under his feet. He also liked to walk without raising his heels. When he ran, he would 'scratch', which was very scary.

The actors had just walked from the brightly lit stage to the entrance. Their eyes had to adapt, and their vision would be blurred for a second or two. Guo Yueguang shook his head and was just thinking about borrowing some light, but this old man It suddenly appeared. Everyone was shocked. Guo Yueguang’s apprentice Huang Chaoyang is a genius of Peking Opera and an opera fanatic. The most important thing is that drama is like life. When life is like drama, at that time, he covered his chest and said something. : "Wow, I'm so scared to death!" His eyes widened and his eyebrows twisted, it looked like he was about to start singing...

"You have a rest, you have to respect the seniors, do you understand?"

Guo Yueguang glared and slapped Huang Chaoyang on the head. Then he turned to look at the old man. The old man was also a scholar. In terms of seniority, he was still his senior brother. Guo Yueguang could only smile evilly: " Senior brother, have you just drank?"

The disciples at the back were all delighted when they heard this.

This old man's surname is Tian and his stage name is Tian Wenkui. He is Guo Baoying's apprentice and belongs to the lineage of Young Master Jiao. In his early years, he used Liu Huo'er and became famous for a while, but now he is old and his voice has been damaged by excessive smoking and drinking all the time. Guo cannot be on stage. Yueguang saw this senior brother's organization and strong social skills, so he asked him to be the deputy class leader. He was mainly responsible for external liaison, greetings and drop-offs, and scheduling chores in the class. He was like half an agent. The old man My son has done a pretty good job and deserves the salary.

"You just drank. My old man is awake." The old man shook his head, seemingly quite stubborn.

"Yes, it's my fault. Don't blame me, Senior Brother... Why do you still walk in these two steps? How much money does it cost on shoes?" Guo Yueguang laughed and said, "Look at how anxious you are. Come here with shame, is something wrong?"

"Is there something wrong? Someone is looking for me."

It is an old saying to go to a court. In the late Qing Dynasty, crosstalk became very popular. It was famous for "digging cakes on the ground and planting beans in the clouds", which means that there is no need to produce, and the upper lip touches the lower lip. Children can be exchanged for food. Just talking about glory, it is actually very miserable, just lying on the ground and performing the hard work of chewing grain for two mouthfuls, selling the strength of the mouth; struggling to survive in the overpass, Nanshi, in the wind and rain, it is also You have to watch the weather. But if you become famous, someone can find a Tanghui, that is, when a wealthy family gives birth to a child, celebrates a birthday, etc., they invite cross talk artists to perform at home, and they give a lot of money, which belongs to A fat job. If you can get someone to go to the church, that means taking a job to support thousands of people, which is not a small thing in the industry.

"Oh, is this what it is? Come on, let's talk in the lounge."

When they arrived at the backstage lounge, the apprentices brought tea, snacks, and towel handles... Guo Yueguang and his partner She Wentai took off their makeup, leaned back on the soft chairs, ate two snacks, drank tea, and breathed hot air. I wiped my face with a perfumed handkerchief and felt a lot more energetic. Guo Yueguang took a long breath and said, "Senior brother, whose class is this?"

"It's Mr. Bao's hall..."

"Hey, you are still an old gentleman of a generation? Then why are you asking for a meeting? How many disciples and disciples will be waiting for such a senior to say something? Even if he is not from our lineage, we men can't raise money. ah?"

Taking the fan handed over by his apprentice 'He Mowei', Guo Yueguang fanned it vigorously. He was fat and couldn't help it. Even in this weather, he found it too hot.

"What's so precious about this generation? Yueguang, you're almost a crosstalk fanatic..."

Tian Wenkui said with a smile: "Second Master Bao is either from our industry, or a rich man from an official family. This time I am looking for a companion for his sworn brother. This Saturday, his eldest brother celebrates his birthday."

"Hey, let me tell you. Senior Baozi, why do you still need to meet with me?"

Guo Yueguang frowned: "A son from an official family? Then his eldest brother must also be a 'wing'? Senior brother, you should understand this. The most taboo among our family is to go out to official gatherings. Think about it." If you say it too lightly, no one will be happy, and we can’t afford to lose face by being ourselves; if we say it too seriously, it’s not appropriate, there are so many people below, and if we don’t do it, we’ll have to get into a lawsuit. Besides, our Lede Club is now also It’s no longer what it used to be. There are a lot of venues for performances, and it’s hard to get tickets. I think I’d rather give it up..."

"Moonlight is right, I think so too."

In Le De Club, the only person who speaks with weight is Guo Yueguang, that is, "Mrs. She", and Mrs. She also has concerns.

"Haha, Junior Brother Yueguang... do you think I'm the 'Controller'? This Second Master Bao's eldest brother is not a 'chizi'. It is said that he is a doctor and lives in the mountains. Come and listen to the cross talk then. They are all fellow villagers from the mountains. They are all 'code control' people, so we won't get into trouble..." Tian Wenkui had already considered the two of them.

"That's not possible, right? If we perform in the mountains, won't we lose our status?" "Taijun She" shook his head repeatedly.

"Even if it doesn't work, it has to work. People know that you two are very smart, so the amount of money they gave you is this amount..."

Tian Wenkui stretched out a finger: "Ten million! The person in charge over there said that as long as Mr. Guo nods, the money will be transferred immediately. You don't even have to sign a contract, it's just so fun."

"Oh, it's fun enough. Are you taking advantage of the money?" Guo Yueguang has also made a lot of money in the past few years. He has seen money, but when he heard that it was ten million yuan, he was still a little tempted: "Why, you are not afraid of us. Take the money and run away?"

"Run? If you have such a heart, you must also have the courage? This Second Master Bao is a famous player in Sijiu City, but he has never praised us much, and you don't know him either. You will know after I mention his father. ..."

"His father, who is that?"

"Be careful, don't be surprised. His father is..."

Tian Wenkui leaned close to their ears, looking as sneaky as a senior spy, and spoke softly.

"Oh my god! His father is actually...Oh, Senior Brother, you scared me..."

"It's over, it's over, I have to go if I don't want to go now. This is not a hall. Isn't this just a 'serial set'? We don't have Huang Tianba's ability..."

Guo Yueguang and She Wentai looked at each other, and both of them slipped down, hoping not to sit directly on the ground. Fortunately, the apprentices on both sides had hand problems, so they hurriedly helped the two big shots: "Master, Master, please be careful, my wife is not on the ground..."

"Go away! You are so glib. Does this have anything to do with your wife?"

Guo Yueguang rolled his eyes when he heard this, but when he thought about it, he became even more worried: "Senior Brother...can we not go?"

"If you don't go, be careful of violating the three customs. Can you afford to offend this man?"

"Ah, that can't be done! It happened the other way around last time, and I still feel sick just thinking about it. So... shall we go?"

"Hey, is this the right attitude? Besides, I heard that this second master Bao is a submissive donkey. If we can accurately understand his temper and hug his thick legs, we will be afraid that someone will say that we are a third party in the future. Vulgar? When the time comes, whoever we don’t like will be the third vulgar!"

Ginger is still hotter than old, Tian Wenkui has penetrated the phenomenon and captured the essence of the problem!

"That makes sense! That's it, just listen to my senior brother. By the way, what's the name of this birthday boy?"

"Book of Changes."
