Chapter 994 Broadway

The performance in New York is the last stop in the United States. This year, He Xiangdong's North American tour has arranged a total of six stops, four stops in the United States and two stops in Canada.

After the New York performance is over, He Xiangdong will go to Canada. The performance in the New York station will be in late December, and there will be two performances in Canada in the next January.

The United States is also cold now, and the terrain of the United States is very interesting. It has mountains on both sides of the east and west, and is a transparent plain in the north and south.

So in summer, the tropical humid and hot air flow can sweep upwards and lead to Canada. In winter, the cold air from the north can also rush to the southernmost tip of the United States.

Now is the coldest time in the United States. He Xiangdong and the others have brought a lot of clothes over, and down jackets and other items that can protect the cold are indispensable.

On the plane, Qiao Yu accompanied him.

He Xiangdong is now a big star, but he did not require first class cabin or a special car to pick him up or drop off when traveling.

He and Qiao Yu are friends, just because they have to think about each other. It’s just a little bit to save a little, so He Xiangdong is in business class, and other actors and employees are in economy class.

There were also many Chinese people in the business class. When they saw He Xiangdong, they came over to say hello and asked for an autograph. He Xiangdong was very generous and signed an autograph with them.

After they finished all the work, He Xiangdong returned to his seat. Qiao Yu smiled and said to He Xiangdong: "Teacher He, your fans are so enthusiastic."

He Xiangdong smiled and shook his head and said, "Hey, I'm so old that I can't compare with those young artists. The fans of those young people are crazy."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "You are not very old, why are you in poor health?"

He Xiangdong photographed him and said angrily: "Go, don't listen to those actresses talking nonsense."

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

The Chinese people sitting next to them also laughed, while the American friends on the plane looked at these Chinese people with a confused look on their faces.

Qiao Yu finished laughing and said to He Xiangdong: "Teacher He, guess where are we doing commercial performances this time?"

He Xiangdong said without hesitation: "New York."

Qiao Yu hurriedly said, "No, no, which theater I asked?"

He Xiangdong raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Yu curiously.

Qiao Yu was also chuckling, his eyebrows and eyes full of pride.

He Xiangdong had a vague guess in his heart, but he still asked: "Where?"

Qiao Yu replied: "Broadway."

Broadway refers to Broadway Avenue, which is a road in the United States, heading north and south. Broadway Avenue is famous because there are many theaters on this road. As early as the early 19th century, there were theaters here.

So it was also from that time that opera gradually flourished in the United States. In the 1920s, Broadway exhibition reached its peak. At that time, there were more than 80 theaters on this road, with hundreds of performances every day.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. In the 30s, the United States encountered an unprecedented economic crisis, and no one could survive. Who has the money to watch the performance?

It was also at this time that Mr. Mei Lanfang came to the United States and also came to Broadway to perform.

It was also on Broadway that Mei Lanfang's reputation resounded throughout the United States.

On this Broadway, Mei Lanfang's two-week performance tickets were all snatched within three days. At that time, the highest ticket price in New York was $6 per ticket, but Mei Lanfang's ticket was speculated to $16 per ticket. You should know that this is the United States in the Great Depression of the Economic Crisis.

Mei Lanfang created a miracle.

Of course, the United States in the 30s was in decline, but now the United States is the only major power on the earth, and Broadway has long been revived and has surpassed the past.

Broadway is the symbol of American theater performances. It has a long history, countless good works, and endless good actors. So almost all Americans will think that only if the performance on Broadway is successful can it satisfy the taste of picky Americans.

He Xiangdong didn't expect Qiao Yu to choose the theater on Broadway, but He Xiangdong didn't plan to conquer the Americans. The art of crosstalk has its own limitations, and he can only perform for the Chinese. Could it be that you still expect many Americans to watch the crosstalk performance?

He Xiangdong was a little amused and cried, and he said to Qiao Yu: "Old Qiao, why are you choosing here? We won't perform for Americans."

Qiao Yu had a lot of reasons: "No, Broadway is a symbol of American theater performances after all. It is also a happy thing for us to perform successfully in it, and it is also a glory of our traditional art."

"Aren't Mr. Mei Lanfang also performed here, and it was so successful. We can also be regarded as following the footsteps of the old man. This is also a kind of inheritance. At that time, we can also say that there is Mei Lanfang in front and He Xiangdong in the back."

He Xiangdong waved his hand quickly: "Don't, don't say that, Mr. Mei can't compare with him. He is a real world-class artist. I'm OK with gangsters among the Chinese, but nothing else can do. People say that I am a polite; if we promote this ourselves, we are asking for scolding."

Qiao Yu also smiled helplessly. As for publicity, we have to create some hot topics and controversy. You are so humble, what should we do?

"Okay, okay, you have the final say." Qiao Yu had no choice but to have no choice but to meet He Xiangdong.

The theater was chosen by the performers, and He Xiangdong was not easy to interfere. And now he has chosen it, so he decided that.

He Xiangdong didn't think anything was wrong. It was just a performance. Wherever he performed, it was not a performance. Anyway, everyone came from Chinese. Just say it seriously. Even if it was performed on Broadway, would you still expect foreigners to come?

When we arrived in New York, He Xiangdong and other actors stayed in the hotel, and they were one room. This is the old tradition of Xiang Wenshe. The funny guy and the supporting guy are in the room, and no one is exceptional, including He Xiangdong and Xue Guo.

They have also been out of China several times during this period, but they have become accustomed to it and quickly adjusted their biological clock.

With one day and a half before the performance, He Xiangdong also took these children out for a walk and had some local specialties.

He Xiangdong actually likes to eat on the side of the road, eat while walking, or eat directly at the food stall. He thinks this is a kind of enjoyment.

But He Xiangdong is now a big star, but he is not as free as before. If he eats a street stall in China, he will be watched to death.

Now he can relax abroad. Now He Xiangdong is carrying a bowl of fried noodles while walking and eating. While eating, he also said that foreign fried noodles are not as delicious as domestic.

He is really comfortable.

After eating and having fun here, the performance was about to be performed, but on the day of the performance, He Xiangdong was shocked.
