Chapter 197: Apprentice

He Xiangdong himself is the most traditional master-apprentice relationship. His master Fang Wenqi raised him from childhood to adulthood, saying that he was a master-apprentice, but in fact there was no difference between him and his biological father and son.

He was not at all resistant to this traditional master-apprentice relationship, but liked it very much. Both of his masters treated him like their own sons, and he also served both masters like their fathers. What's wrong with this?

As for accepting disciples, as an artist who was raised by Fang Wenqi since childhood, He Xiangdong has many old-school artists' ideas. No matter how he lives, his craft will not be defeated. It is extremely important to preach for the ancestors and inherit his own legacy. It is as important as passing on the family line, or this is passing on the family line.

He really didn't think so much about whether he could make money and whether he would lose money after taking a disciple. In his eyes, the master and apprentice were like father and son. Do you really think it was a loss for his son? Just be fine if the child is ready.

He Xiangdong had already had the idea of ​​accepting disciples. Xiang Wenshe wanted to grow and grow, and it was impossible to recruit people outside forever. He must have fresh blood to replenish them. Accepting disciples and teaching skills is a good way, and it can also truly cultivate artists who can sell money.

In fact, since the second half of last year, Xiang Wenshe's income has been very good. He Xiangdong has also begun to invite many crosstalk actors to perform, and many people have come, but the scene on stage is really terrible.

Many people have experience in acting. They have rich stage experience, but they perform within the system all year round and follow the folk art troupe to perform, which is also a free ticket for the audience. In other words, they can speak crosstalk, but their crosstalk cannot be sold for money.

This is the biggest problem.

This is actually a disadvantage within the system. They do not rely on the audience to make a living. They need to evaluate professional titles. Actors are divided into levels. Different levels will receive different treatments. How many shows are worth every month.

The performance level of an actor is not directly related to the audience's love, which is also an important reason for the decline of crosstalk.

Being able to make money does not mean that you have a high artistic level, but it can directly indicate how much the audience likes you. How can you spend money on you if you don’t like it?

Crosstalk is a very down-to-earth art of yi. Down-to-earth means popularity. A high or low song is not crosstalk, but only what the audience really likes is crosstalk.

So now He Xiangdong can only cultivate a crosstalk actor who is truly loved by the audience and is willing to spend money to praise. This is the real crosstalk market.

He Xiangdong pulled Chen Jun from Chen's mother's arms and put him in front of him to watch carefully. Chen Jun looked up at He Xiangdong's eyes and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at it anymore. The child was a little shy and introverted.

Chen’s father and Chen’s mother both looked at He Xiangdong nervously. They came from the countryside. In fact, there are many people who have become disciples in the countryside. They have to learn craftsmanship, carpenter, tailor, and bamboo craftsman. They all have to learn from their masters. They are similar to learning crosstalk. They first do odd jobs for their masters for a few years, and they also have to help them work and clean housework. They have no wages when they are apprenticing.

Some of them are taught by the master to collect money, while others are not required. There is no specific regulation, but most of the money earned in the first few years after he started his master must be paid to the master, or even all of them.

Chen’s father and mother knew a little about the tricks here. Now, when He Xiangdong pulled his child to talk, he knew that this was his master’s disciple. If he had a crush on him, he could stay. If he didn’t like him, he might have to go back to his hometown.

In fact, after they were rejected by their fellow villagers, they had the plan to go back to their hometown. Where can they go in Beijing? They were also lucky. Yesterday, the three of them passed by the gate of Xiangwenshe and saw many people buying tickets, but now they were listening to crosstalk.

Chen's father was moved at that time and wanted to try again for his children. This honest man asked his wife and children to go back to the small hotel first, and he was waiting here. From the daytime to the night, he counted the number of people. He was so stupid and stupid that he didn't know how to ask directly.

After squatting for a day, he counted and found that there were 200 small people, each ticket cost ten yuan. This counted, but this farmer was scared. It would be fine after this month.

Last night, he gritted his teeth and spent ten yuan to buy a ticket and went in to listen to the scene. You should know that the small hotel they stayed in was only fifteen yuan at night. It was this evening that made the farmer from rural Hebei almost laughed so hard that he didn't fall down. Only then did he make up his mind to let his son learn crosstalk with He Xiangdong.

Otherwise, He Xiangdong, a folk artist who is in his early twenties and is not famous and not in the system, can make people come to the door to learn from his disciples?

He Xiangdong didn't know the inside story, so he took Chen Jun's little hand and asked, "Do you like crosstalk?"

Chen Jun looked at his mother, and Chen's mother quickly winked at him. The child looked at He Xiangdong. He was nurturing, his throat was falling, his voice was a little weird and hoarse, he said, "I like it."

He Xiangdong touched Chen Jun's forehead and asked, "Have you seen crosstalk?"

Chen Jun didn't look at his mother this time, nodded and said, "I've seen it."

He Xiangdong asked again: "Where did you see it?"

“On TV.”

He Xiangdong asked again: "Is it funny?"

Chen Jun didn't know how to answer, and wanted to turn his head to look at his mother. He Xiangdong pressed his shoulder and asked, "Don't look at your parents, I want to ask you your own opinion. Tell me, are those crosstalks funny?"

Chen Jun had no choice but to turn his head, so he could only lower his head to think. Chen’s father and mother looked at him nervously. After a while, Chen Jun said honestly: “It’s a bit funny, a bit not funny.”

He Xiangdong smiled.

Chen's mother thought He Xiangdong was angry and quickly said, "Master He, don't be angry, don't be as knowledgeable as a child. This child can't speak. I think crosstalk is funny, they are all funny, your crosstalk is better."

He Xiangdong smiled and shook his head, without replying to Chen's mother's words, and continued to ask Chen Jun: "Why do you want to learn crosstalk? Tell the truth, you can't lie to me."

Chen Jun lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at He Xiangdong. This was the first time he dared to look at He Xiangdong: "I don't know. My parents wanted me to learn, so I learned it. My mother said that learning crosstalk is about eating, not being tiring, and being able to go on TV and make a lot of money."

"You child" Chen's mother was a little anxious.

He Xiangdong smiled and looked up to suppress Chen's mother who was about to riot, and said to Chen Jun: "Child, there is a saying that your mother is right. Crosstalk is a skill that relies on her mouth to make a living, but there is something she didn't say it right. It's just that learning crosstalk is very hard and difficult, much harder than you think. It's not easy to learn it well. Are you really willing to learn it?"

After hearing this, Chen Jun lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. When Chen's father and mother were a little anxious, he looked up and asked, "Can you make a lot of money?" To be continued.
