Chapter two hundred disciples
The purpose of asking Chen Jun to clean the theater is very simple, just to see the child's attitude and character, to see if he will be lazy and perfunctory when no one is watching him.
Art is a very serious matter and cannot be fooled at all. The same is true for apprentices to learn art. It requires hard work and seriousness to achieve results. If you are a silly life, it will definitely not work.
What He Xiangdong wants to see is Chen Jun's attitude. This is the first thing he ordered to do for him on the first day he just came. If he still had to be lazy, then He Xiangdong would definitely not let the child stay.
He didn't have so much time to watch this child learn art all day. In the past, artists used to serve the master to eat, drink, serve tea, water, wash clothes and cook, and wait for the master to drink and drink, and occasionally pass on you a few more words, so that the apprentice would be very happy.
Nowadays, his ability is worthless and no one wants to learn it. However, He Xiangdong is not so mean to beg others to learn it. If this child cannot pass this, his parents will come here in the evening, so he will definitely return the child to his parents, and no one can say goodbye to love.
Fortunately, Chen Jun has a good personality. He is not a scammer. He is very honest and willing to endure hardships. He has an attitude of learning skills. He also has qualifications. His ancestors are willing to give food. He knows that he feels sorry for his parents and human nature is also OK.
In general, He Xiangdong was quite satisfied with this apprentice. Even if he accepted it, he would call him master. However, he did not make any arrangements and was considered an apprentice of the oral alliance.
Just as Wu Xiao left, the theater was short of people doing miscellaneous work, so these miscellaneous things were handed over to Chen Jun. After lunch, the performance in the garden began.
He Xiangdong asked Chen Jun to find a seat in the audience and concentrate on performing in the stands, watch first and then learn. Yi must like this art to learn well.
Chen Jun also looked at Yi Yi in the afternoon honestly and was also happy. In the evening, Chen’s father and mother came to pick him up and sent him back. The next day, Chen’s father and mother also left in tears.
He Xiangdong took Chen Jun back to Zhang Kuoru's home. Zhang Kuoru liked this child very much, so he let him live at home. Anyway, there was still a house.
Chen Jun also officially became He Xiangdong's first apprentice, and he had a meal and living apprentice. Wu Yang was then a disciple, but he could only be considered an apprentice of the oral alliance. He did not teach others anything, and He Xiangdong didn't think that the child would still engage in crosstalk in the future. Isn't it great to study hard and get into college.
Being a folk artist, the pain in this is unimaginable to outsiders.
Chen Jun officially embarked on the road of learning arts, but He Xiangdong did not hide his own personal information, nor did he let others do miscellaneous work for a few years before passing on his skills. Now the garden is short of manpower, so the sooner this child can go on stage, the better.
Early in the morning, there were no one in the theater, and only these two masters and apprentices. Chen Jun cleaned the theater all the time, poured a cup of tea for the master, and then sat respectfully beside He Xiangdong.
He Xiangdong held the tea and sipped it slowly, feeling a little subtle in his heart. He was only in his early twenties, and he was always a junior, serving his master and uncle. The first time he was served by his disciples, this feeling was really a bit wonderful.
The one who soaked the fat sea and protected her throat, He Xiangdong sipped his mouth gently, put the cup on the ground, and said to Chen Jun: "Xiaojun, some history of crosstalk, senior, I have told you all, you have some understanding of crosstalk. As for what crosstalk is and what it means to you, this requires you to understand it in the long process of learning and writing skills in the future."
"Yeah." Chen Jun responded softly, and his little look was very serious.
He Xiangdong continued: "Now, I'm going to start to enlighten you. When we talk about crosstalk, we usually use pennant mouths, eight screens, dishes, or five elements poems to enlighten you. Your situation is special, you are turning down the warehouse."
"You can't use this voice too much. Remember that you are not allowed to yell in the past few years. Your voice is something that our artists eat, so you can't waste it. Although our voices in crosstalk are not as precious as those who sing operas, it's always good to have a good voice."
"I will teach you how to practice qi first. Practice lung qi. Qi is the basis of sound. Only when you have enough qi can this work be smooth. First learn the circulating breathing method. This is the breathing trick in oral skills. It is a good method of practicing qi. You must learn it carefully."
Chen Jun quickly said, "I know, Master."
He Xiangdong also officially passed on the circulating breathing method to Chen Jun. He was fortunate to teach Zhang Yushu the verbal technique when he was young, especially the circulating breathing method that greatly increased his lung energy. He has benefited a lot over the years.
Saying crosstalk, singing music and opera requires a lot of lung energy. If you lack lung energy, these things will be very tired. He Xiangdong can even speak seven or eight screens in a while now.
The crosstalk actor said that Guankou must not make the audience feel tired. The audience felt that the crosstalk actor said on the stage was exhausted and vomited blood. As long as this kind of thought appeared, no matter what Guankou said, it would be a failure.
Chen Jun's situation was a bit special, so He Xiangdong taught him to practice qi first, and then he taught him some of the shelves in opera. As the saying goes, the shelves of the opera must be learned first, starting with the shelves of the opera, cloud hands, walking sideways, and horses. When the child passes the voice change period, he will teach him singing music and opera, as well as some of the work in crosstalk.
Chen Jun was doing odd jobs in the garden and learning skills. He followed He Xiangdong to eat and live, and he also walked in the traditional master-apprentice model.
He Xiangdong also confiscated the child's share of money, and also managed food and accommodation. He occasionally gave him two pocket money. Fortunately, the business in the garden is good, otherwise he would have to be heavy now.
The actors in the garden also accepted the existence of this child and often joked with him. As the youngest in the garden, Chen Jun is also very sensible and always serves these elders. Those old men are very satisfied with him.
This year, He Xiangdong also raised the remuneration of Chen Yifang and others. Chen Yifang has 50 games, and Guo Qing and Li Quanjiang are both 40 games.
To see the income of crosstalk, you can’t just focus on how much he costs, but also on how many shows he performs. These three people can perform three to four shows in a day, and they can cost about 4,000 yuan in a month, and they also include food and transportation fees. Li Quanjiang’s accommodation costs are subsidized by more than 500 yuan every month in the garden.
This is a lot of money. The crosstalk industry is generally unrest, and it would be considered very high for these people to get such a salary.
Although Guo Qing still works in the art troupe, he is just a fourth-level actor. He doesn't have 4,000 yuan for a month. And he has to be deducted and fined, and he basically has nothing to get.
So he doesn't go to the art troupe to perform now, and basically spends time in the garden. He said that it was to promote the art of crosstalk, and he didn't admit it to pursue Su Xiaoya, and He Xiangdong was too lazy to expose him.
Although the two lived in a garden together, Su Xiaoya always ignored Guo Qingai, which made Guo Qing very sad.
