Chapter 195 New Year's New Weather
At the end of 1997, Xiangwen Society was booming and a year of rapid development. Although it did not make a lot of money, the number of audiences has increased steadily, especially the number of viewers who are willing to spend money to listen to crosstalk is increasing.
This seems to be back to the era of spending money to listen to things. The audience is no longer as resistant as before, and gradually there are some loyal audiences. He Xiangdong received several gifts from the audience during the Chinese New Year this year. He is a star supported by everyone in the garden. It is not surprising that he has such popularity.
In fact, after the second half of the year, Zhang Kuoru performed less often, because the business in the garden is pretty good now, so he doesn’t need to rely on him to attract audiences.
He also wanted to give He Xiangdong a road. The garden is still small and can only have a role. The storytelling can only be said by myself, and it is not that there are any funny things in crosstalk. So in order not to steal He Xiangdong's limelight, Mr. Zhang will not perform after YiO month.
Although he no longer performs in the garden, Mr. Zhang often comes to the garden to watch and teach He Xiangdong about storytelling. He likes the atmosphere in the garden very much.
Because Guo Qing often stayed in the garden, he also received a lot of advice from Zhang Kuoru. Zhang Kuoru is not a hidden person and is willing to give advice to these juniors.
Of course, Fan Wenquan was optimistic and agreed with this. Without Fan Wenquan's consent, Zhang Kuoruru was not so reckless as a teacher.
There are actually quite a lot of rules in the artist industry. There is an old saying that "I would rather give up my deposit than my spring." Even if you are willing to teach your skills to outsiders, this is not just a preaching. It doesn't matter if you have no doors or households.
If someone has a master, you can't be so reckless. If someone has a master, even if he doesn't teach well, it's still a family matter. If you don't rush to teach his apprentice, this is a big taboo and it's easy to cause conflict.
Just like the relationship between countries, no matter how poor or miserable my country is, it will not allow you to interfere in internal affairs without saying a word. Whether to accept your help or not, we have to nod and agree to it ourselves. No matter how enthusiastic you are, it is considered to be interfering in internal affairs.
The business in the garden has improved and more artists have also increased. In the past two more years, Chen Yifang and Li Quanjiang are both very powerful actors, and they often form a crosstalk to come on stage.
Oh, by the way, there was also a heavyweight figure in the garden. Her name was Su Xiaoya. When the end of the year was approaching, the Jiaxing girl had not returned home yet, but instead found He Xiangdong and solemnly said that she was willing to work in Xiangwen Club.
He Xiangdong was overjoyed. Now there was a professional and professional business talent in the garden. Then he asked Su Xiaoya to go home for the New Year and work directly in the garden after the New Year.
Su Xiaoya went back with heavy steps.
During this year's Spring Festival, He Xiangdong still spent the Spring Festival in Beijing. Fang Wenqi still refused to let He Xiangdong go to Shanghai, which made He Xiangdong very troubled, but there was no good way.
So he and Zhang Kuoru celebrated the Spring Festival. After the Chinese New Year, Zhang Qingfeng finally returned home. He hadn't seen each other for more than ten years. Zhang Qingfeng's appearance became more mature and he became fatter, but the changes were not too big.
But the temperament and momentum on his body could not find the figure of the innocent young man in the past. It had really changed a lot. He Xiangdong was at a loss when he stood beside him.
Zhang Qingfeng knew that He Xiangdong was taking care of Zhang Kuoru's daily life, so he felt much more relieved and kept thanking He Xiangdong.
He knew his father's temper and didn't like outsiders to take care of him. His husband and wife were away all year round and rarely had time to come home. Now He Xiangdong is taking care of him, that's really a great thing.
During the Chinese New Year, they all lived in Zhang Qing’s villa. Not to mention, He Xiangdong, a local bun, really felt the life of a rich man. He really made him a little dizzy and fascinated by eating braised pork as a New Year’s guy.
On New Year's Eve, Tian Jiani also came to the villa for a while and greeted Zhang Kuoru. Zhang Kuoru also gave him a big red envelope. Zhang Qingfeng was not stingy and booked a larger one.
On the New Year's Eve, as usual, Zhang Kuoru gave He Xiangdong a red envelope, and Zhang Qingfeng also gave him a gift, saying that he was thanking him for taking care of the old man. Later, when he returned to the bedroom, He Xiangdong found that Zhang Qingfeng gave him a check of 50,000 yuan.
He was frightened and had never seen so much money. For him, taking care of his master was an obligation of his apprentice, and it would be boring to add so much money. He did not return the check to Zhang Qingfeng, and he would just tear it apart and throw it into the trash can.
On the first day of the first lunar month, He Xiangdong also went out to pay New Year's greetings to several seniors. Zhang Kuoru also took him to the Storytelling Sect and visited the homes of several people. Recognizing the door was also paving the way for his future.
As he himself said, he was not without news, but he was just unwilling to come out again, so people who were not yet qualified had no idea of his existence.
Ge Zengfang's master took Ge Zengfang and later went to the Wenshe to apologize, but he didn't even see Zhang Kuoru's face and was beaten away by He Xiangdong. He was not interested in placing these people, so he just wanted to kill them away.
In fact, if these people didn't make trouble, he wouldn't know when he would see his master.
On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Zhang Qingfeng and his wife flew away less than a week after returning home. Zhang Kuoru moved out of the villa that night and moved back to the alley, saying that he was not used to living in a big house.
He Xiangdong saw it clearly. Zhang Kuoru was not used to living in a villa, but was just not used to not having family to accompany him. He would rather live in a lively alley and gain more popularity.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Xiangwenshe officially opened. The opening time has been mentioned since last year. During the Chinese New Year, the paper pasted at the door also stated the opening time, so basically all old audiences know it.
There are quite a lot of audiences coming to support the show today, with about 200 people, and the momentum is huge. It really made a good start for 1998. The first performance of the year was quite successful, and it also followed the traditional crosstalk conference.
He Xiangdong spent a lot of money and invited a band to sing the West Chamber at the opening. As He Xiangdong expected, this song was really very popular with the audience.
Although school has not started yet, Su Xiaoya has also come to work in Xiangwen Club, and He Xiangdong has handed over everything except art to her. Su Xiaoya is already in her senior year and doesn't have to go to school to take many classes. She just keeps busy in the garden, living up to expectations, and she handles everything in an orderly manner.
This young and brilliant woman became the butler of Xiang Wenshe.
It was not yet the first month of the year, and not long after the Lantern Festival, three guests came to the garden, and the couple came with a child. To be continued.
