Tea, snacks and other things were quickly served. First there was an opera on the stage, with gongs and drums tinkling and making a lot of noise. Xiao Wenwu looked at the colorful costumes on the stage and kept waving and stretching out his little hands to catch them. Such a big child is very interested in bright colors. sensitive.
After the opera, there was a cross talk. When I saw the fat man Yang Dongxu on stage who was talking about cross talk, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Know?" Bai Qian was feeding Xiao Wenwu some water, so she immediately noticed the look on Yang Dongxu's face.
"That's right. Do you know about Anhui Province's "Super Winner"? He is one of the hosts." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"Really?" When she was pregnant, it was okay to stay at home. Baiqian had watched TV for a while. As the current domestic phenomenon-level variety show "Super Winner", Baiqian naturally also watched it.
But he remembered that the male host was a thin man with narrowed eyes, not the fat man on stage.
"It happened two years ago in 2003. I started doing it not long ago and then stopped doing it. I just remember it." Yang Dongxu recalled it and said.
"Oh, why did the host talk about cross talk?" Bai Qian asked casually.
"It seems that he was originally interested in cross talk, and being a host is just a part-time job." Yang Dongxu replied.
Bai Qian nodded without saying a word. She raised her hand and called the waiter over and asked her to bring a pot of hot boiled water. Then she opened her bag and started making milk powder for the little one.
The little one has a much bigger appetite when he is over six months old, and when he is happy, he likes to hold the milk bottle in his arms and take a sip without any trouble, just like an adult sipping tea.
Yang Dongxu focused on the fat man on the stage. This person was none other than Guo Degang, who was later said to have saved Chinese cross talk.
Compared with the cross talk master in Yang Dongxu's memory, Guo Degang now looks a little more youthful. Although he is also fat, he is not as elegant as the fat one in the future.
In short, although Lao Guo is now in his thirties, he can only be regarded as a newcomer in the cross talk world. This newcomer does not mean that he learned cross talk late, but that the time he performed cross talk on stage was too short, so he is said to be a new cross talk artist.
It is said that Lao Guo started learning storytelling at the age of seven, cross talk at the age of nine, and later also learned Hexi drums. He learned art very early.
However, the time when he really took the stage to talk about cross talk can only be counted from the past two years. Although Lao Guo became a Beipiao in 1995, he has never been successful.
In his last life, Lao Guo, who was very popular on the Internet, said, "I was willing to be a dog for you, but you didn't want it, so you forced me to become a dragon." This is what he was talking about during his career in Beidiao.
When Beipiao failed, Lao Guo began to look for other opportunities, and even left Yanjing to work as a host in Anhui Province, but still failed.
It wasn't until I became a student of cross talk master Hou Teacher last year that I was able to define cross talk, and then I performed with the troupe and talked about cross talk in a relatively high-end teahouse like the one in front of me.
He also joined the railway art troupe, and at the same time changed to host a program on Wan Provincial Satellite TV, and occasionally guest-starred in some TV series.
But even if there is a teacher supporting him, he can still be regarded as an expert in cross talk. But Lao Guo was not comfortable at all in this industry.
He was evaluated by some senior cross talk experts as not being able to respect teachers and teachings, and the cross talk he said was very vulgar, and he was simply a scum in the cross talk world, etc.
But regardless of these evaluations, Lao Guo was able to come to the stage as a crosstalk speaker, and then he became better and better as he talked, and finally became a representative of the Chinese crosstalk community.
There is a saying that goes, "Without Lao Guo Huaxia, the cross talk would be obscene, and with Lao Guo Hua Xia, the cross talk would be even more obscene."
Although this sentence is a joke, the first half of it can undoubtedly show Guo Degang's status in the Chinese cross talk world.
Let's put it this way, if it weren't for Bolt, everyone probably wouldn't care much about the 100-meter men's long-distance race, and without Guo Degang's Deyun Club, perhaps China's crosstalk dance wouldn't be as popular as later generations.
"Why is this guy talking about cross talk like this?" Bai Qian frowned as she heard the roar of laughter from all around.
Guo Degang and his partner on the stage just made a relatively dirty joke. Of course, it was not full of swear words, but it was a kind of ridicule without swear words, or a metaphor that both men and women understand.
"As long as it can make people laugh," Yang Dongxu said.
"But this is too..." Bai Qian was a little unhappy. In fact, Bai Qian also laughed at the slightly colorful joke just now.
It's just that this smile turned into a frown after thinking about his son. It doesn't hurt to smile when adults always say they understand the metaphor, but for children...
In fact, this is where Guo Degang is criticized now. After all, sometimes things that are joking in private are not mentioned on the stage. It is indeed inappropriate to say these things when there are children.
"Just don't bring your children next time. These jokes are indeed not suitable for children." Yang Dongxu said.
However, this unsuitability is only temporary. When the Internet becomes extremely developed in later generations, kids in their teens will know more than the guys in their twenties today, and even the various dirty and corrupt techniques in the second dimension will be more It's worse than anything else.
Of course, it now seems that Lao Guo's cross talk is a bit rebellious, especially when many cross talk masters always want to elevate cross talk to the level of alternative clothing art like Paris Fashion Week.
This kind of cross talk, which is like two rough people teasing each other and 'greeting' each other, is indeed a bit vulgar.
But cross talk is originally meant for the common people. You want to raise it to the level of art, but those so-called artists don’t like cross talk very much. People like more artistic dramas, going to the opera, and listening to the piano. People don’t appreciate your work. Art.
Therefore, we must raise cross talk to the level of art, and make every cross talk have educational significance... The original intention of people watching cross talk is to have fun, but in the end they are educated by your cross talk, then Why not just go to French-language programs?
In fact, everyone likes meaningful cross talk, and you can learn something while having fun. But it only talks about education and not making people happy. This is the reason why cross talk is in decline. When you can't make people happy, naturally no one will watch cross talk.
It is a pity that the current mainstream of cross talk is to shout every day to be elegant and artistic, and being funny is just an incidental thing. If elegance and art require it, then even comedy is not incidental.
So a person like Lao Guo suddenly appeared, especially with such cross talk, people like it, and some people support him. On the contrary, no one sees the elegance and art that the masters are constantly shouting about. If everyone doesn’t join forces to accuse you, who else will they blame?
"Are you very optimistic about him?" Bai Qian couldn't help but asked curiously.
"That's right." Yang Dongxu nodded.
One of the people who will save China's cross talk industry in the future is not that Yang Dongxu is optimistic about Lao Guo, but that Lao Guo is indeed capable.
Bai Qian couldn't help but take a few more glances at Lao Guo, who was fat and a little green on the stage. Anyone who could be attracted by her man had two skills.
It's a pity that Lao Guo has so much meat that his specific abilities are blocked by the meat and it's impossible to see.
"Send 10 flower baskets over here." Yang Dongxu waved to the waiter and said.
A flower basket costs 100 yuan, but the purpose is not to buy a flower basket as a gift, but as a reward. Some guests felt that the performers on the stage performed well and sent flower baskets, and the performers on the stage got a share.
"Thank you to the gentleman upstairs. You are so grand. When I look at your momentum, you are like a real dragon descending from the earth, an immortal coming to the world..." After hearing the reward of 10 flower baskets, Lao Guo on the stage praised him. , making Yang Dongxu a little bit dumbfounded.
The other guests found it interesting and sent some flower baskets as well, and continued to listen to Lao Guo's various nonsense on the stage.
To be honest, Lao Guo agrees with what Lao Guo said about "knowledge" and "academic qualifications" being two different things.
For example, the old Guo in front of me has not graduated from junior high school, but he is not full of knowledge, but at least he has half a belly of ink. He may not be a professional in humanistic allusions and historical knowledge, but he does not necessarily know less than a professional.
"You came here to see him today?" Bai Qian asked.
"It's just a coincidence." Yang Dongxu replied.
It was a coincidence that when someone greeted Hainer during the meeting, he did think of Lao Guo. But I just thought about it and didn’t pay much attention to it.
Because even if he didn't interfere, Lao Guo would be popular by virtue of his own ability. He didn't care about the little money he made by investing in Lao Guo. At the same time, he doesn’t care about this personal relationship.
After all, even if Lao Guo is really popular, given the difference in status between the two, only the other person wants to cling to him, not him taking the initiative to make friends with him.
Therefore, Yang Dongxu thinks most about traditional cultural tourist attractions and promoting the craze of ancient costumes. This can not only be combined with Sanwan Travel Agency.
They can also bring Zhuo Qing'er's clothing business with them. The grand costume weddings in recent years have expanded some markets. After all, people in this era still miss the idea of marrying a matchmaker in front of a matchmaker with eight large sedans.
As long as you have the conditions to have such a grand costume wedding, it will be more popular among the older generation than those Western-style weddings.
Therefore, if we can use tourist attractions to promote the popularity of ancient costumes, and there is a suitable opportunity to hold a grand wedding on the spot, some people will definitely be interested in this wedding model.
Therefore, although the above mentioned declining traditional entertainment industries such as opera and cross talk, Yang Dongxu expanded it to promote the entire traditional culture, and did not only pay attention to the two industries of cross talk and opera.
But he was kicked directly from above, and he happened to be in Yanjing. Anyway, I had nothing to do in the evening, so I came over to listen to a play on the way. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet Lao Guo.
After listening to the cross talk, I stopped for a storytelling section, which felt very good.
However, it was past nine o'clock in the evening and the little guy started to nod off sleepily. Yang Dongxu had no choice but to hold him and leave with Bai Qian. The eldest son of Tian Da Di Di was the biggest sleeper.
I came to the parking lot with my child in my arms, and happened to meet Lao Guo who was coming out of the backstage to go home. There is also a partner beside him, not Aunt Yu who likes to smoke and perm her hair, but someone with an unfamiliar face.
"Hey, this man, it's just a coincidence. It's really fate."
Seeing Yang Dongxu, Lao Guo greeted him quickly, but his mouth was still as poor as on the stage just now.
However, he was very discerning and saw that Yang Dongxu was sleeping with the child in his arms, and there were female relatives beside him. He didn't get too close and the sound was not loud.
"I am at a disadvantage because I am destined to be with you. You are not a beauty." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"So if you want to tell your fortune today, you have to tell me that you will meet a noble person when you go out!" Lao Guo said with a smile.
"Then if you encounter trouble in the future, just report my name and I will protect you." Seeing Lao Guo's poor energy, Yang Dongxu joked with a smile.
"You are a noble person, and you can be promoted easily!" Lao Guo praised with a thumbs up.
