After more than half a month of competition, the initial examination of the Peony Award finally ended.

The Peony Award has leveraged all the folk art artists across the country. None of the famous folk art masters from all walks of life are idle. They are almost busy during this period. Some of them provide temporary training for their disciples to go to Beijing, and some even compete in person.

The strength of artists who can come to Beijing after screening is naturally good, and these people are also working hard to perform. And those artists who have not even passed the primary election are now working hard to temper their art, because there will be more selections next year and still have opportunities.

The first exam is very cruel. It is like scanning a machine gun. Ninety percent of artists will be knocked out. The reason is very simple. The number of places in the Peony Award is limited. Secondly, the funds are not that abundant. How much does it cost to participate in the re-examination?

And the criticism that was knocked out would not be willing to go home. It must be hard work every day to strive to win a quota next year.

In short, the quiet stagnant waters of the Quyi world finally rippled with ripples.

Of course, not all the folk art artists are lively, so the headmaster of Xiang Wenshe is quite calm. Since the classmaster returned from the first exam, he has devoted himself to Xiang Wenshe's crosstalk performance career. He did not care about the hustle and bustle outside, and did not start preparing for the re-examination.

When others asked about it, the headmaster just looked up slightly at the cold and waning moon in the sky, and looked calm and outspoken. The cold and elegant moonlight shone on his huge face, outlining a very perfect shape of a foot wash basin.

The headmaster is elegant and has his hands behind him, which is quite like an ancient literati and elegant person. If he ignores his majestic belly like the landlord, he looks at the waning moon and speaks very elegantly: "Grind the gun at the end of the battle, grind your eggs."

It turns out that he has the style of an ancient elegant literati, and he is truly the headmaster of Xiang Wenshe.

The results of the initial examination were also announced. He Xiangdong and Xue Guo were pretty good. They both entered the re-examination, and Xue Guo's big drum also entered. He Xiangdong was in the four gates, so he was very busy next time.

However, He Xiangdong was still calm and did not care about the Peony Awards. He still performed in the Xiangwen Club every day.

He Xiangdong never believed in any gun sharpening at the last minute. What he believed was that Kung Fu was in normal times. There was a saying in the artist industry that he knew if he didn’t practice qigong in one day, he knew if he didn’t practice qigong for two days, and the audience knew if he didn’t practice qigong for three days.

Basic skills need to be practiced every day, no matter how big you are, no matter whether you are a master admired by thousands of people. As long as you can still move, you must practice it, otherwise your physical skills will be completely abandoned within two months.

The folk art world is very lively now, with a large number of artists practicing day and night, preparing to go to the Peony Awards to make a trip. Many seniors in the art world still think this is a good thing, but He Xiangdong feels it is quite sad.

If an artist practices seriously only for the sake of competitions and awards, then what is the use of this artist? Can this industry be overwhelmed?

The artists are good at fame and fortune, and it is normal for artists to compete for fame and fortune. This is understandable in itself, but it would be even better if they can still maintain their pursuit and persistence in art while competing for fame and fortune.

Now that the folk art industry is in a downturn, artists in the industry cannot see their prospects for engaging in this industry. Every month, they only barely live with the country's meager salary, and live tremblingly.

Now the art troupe is also reforming, and many state-owned enterprises are also reforming, and a large number of employees are laid off. These folk art artists are actually very insecure. If they are laid off, what can they do?

Now no one listens to folk art, and his own ability is not enough to make a living. So a large number of folk art artists are running to the film and television industry, wanting to broaden their careers and keep a guarantee for future meals. There are also folk arts who try their best to go to TV stations. As long as they become famous, they will go to all parts of the country. While they are popular now, they can get a pen.

The folk art industry is very impetuous, and there are few artists who are willing to practice hard and study their art steadily. The artist's artistic level is naturally very average, and there are no audiences to listen to it, and the folk art industry is even worse.

This is a vicious cycle.

But this is a vicious cycle that is difficult to cure. We cannot ask artists to do art while hungry, which is unrealistic.

Gu Baimo is now speaking crosstalk to Wenshe, but he drives his own taxi every day. Why is it just to give his family a good meal?

Therefore, the revitalization of folk art ultimately depends on having money. Money is vulgar, but no one can leave it. Only when this industry can make money and support its family will a large number of practitioners be willing to enter and study hard.

Not everyone is like Fang Wenqi and He Xiangdong who do not care about personal gains and losses, loves crosstalk art to the point of being crazy, and revival of crosstalk cannot be achieved through these two people. They can play a leading role at most. The real revival still depends on the efforts of everyone in this industry.

This is the lasting and vital energy, otherwise even if He Xiangdong became popular all over the world, the revival of crosstalk would only be a flash in the pan.

Time passed slowly, and the Peony Awards rematch was confirmed. This time was publicly reviewed and the audience would be invited to listen. The audience also has the right to vote, but the proportion is not high.

The Qu Xie found a medium theater in Beijing to conduct the competition venue. The audience was filled with 500 people, and there were also TV media reporters coming to report.

Crosstalk is the first competition. The time for each crosstalk is twelve minutes. It cannot be done after twelve minutes. The crosstalk re-examination can be completed in just one day.

He Xiangdong also found many acquaintances on the list of re-examinations, including Zhao Fenghua and Yan Xiaohua, as well as Tianjin Huo Mingde who last Spring Festival Gala. They had several books left last time, and they were finally wasted.

There is also acquaintances, the crosstalk actors who are against Hunan. These two have been quite popular recently. They can also be said to be famous in the Spring Festival Gala. They are now doing programs everywhere and performing in various places.

The two of them are still good at their level. After all, they are also from small theaters like karaoke bars. The audience's responses during the performance are very good, and these two people are gradually becoming more and more powerful.

These two people did not formally prepare for the introduction. Although they were called masters and apprentices, neither of them had any masters. This was as embarrassing as Fang Wenqi and his master's original situation.

Now the big names in the crosstalk world are also in contact with these two people, vaguely revealing that they have the desire to accept disciples. The two people have a good prospect and are very respectful to join their disciples. It is a good thing for their inheritance.

Mr. Hou also noticed them and helped them a lot. As he said himself, he was not trying to promote a certain person, he just wanted to promote crosstalk. The same is true for him to praise He Xiangdong, and the same is true for these two people.

He Xiangdong went to Mr. Hou’s house last time and found out that Mr. Hou had already confirmed that he would accept the other ones as his disciples, that is the master. After all, these two people are called masters and apprentices. If Mr. Hou took the disciple of the two, then he would be useless.
