Chapter 619 Who is the mainstream
Business and capital are actually a very terrible thing. Human nature is profit-seeking. Marx once said that as long as there is a tenfold profit, businessmen will dare to trample on all morals and laws in the world, and they will be fearless.
This is the terrible thing about capital.
The crosstalk industry has never successfully held a commercial performance. Now even if you give tickets to the audience, people may not be willing to listen to it. The tragic situation is already like this.
But now the commercial performance of Xiangwenshe is so good, and such a high ticket can be sold out in half a day. How popular it is, and how popular the audience must be.
Their box office revenue of this commercial performance is close to one million. Who can tell a crosstalk show so much money?
Xiang Wenshe was so scary. This terrible thing made Cai Guoqiang feel afraid. What he feared was not Xiang Wenshe itself, but the subsequent trend in the crosstalk world.
Xiang Wenshe has proved with their practical actions that small folk theatres are the correct way to revive crosstalk and the inevitable path for future crosstalk exhibitions.
It can be imagined that after this commercial performance, the small theaters in Beijing will sprout like mushrooms after a rain. It can even be said that this will be the case not only in Beijing, but even across the country.
These are not within the system. Once this situation spreads, the situation in the crosstalk world will change drastically.
The crosstalk actors in the system are now called mainstream crosstalk actors because they have a large population and have many resources, and they occupy the mainstream.
But once the small folk theater spreads, it is really hard to say who is the mainstream at that time.
Cai Guoqiang's crosstalk skills are not very good, but his eyes are very vicious. He knows that small folk theaters are much more flexible than actors in the system, and are more in line with the audience's preferences and needs.
This is the correct way to show crosstalk, and he is very clear about this.
It is precisely because of my understanding that I am afraid that once the folk theaters are in a rush, they will no longer be mainstream, and they will no longer be able to master so many resources like now, and even if there are not many crosstalk actors left in the system, this is terrible.
It is different within the system and among the people. Within the system, it depends on professional titles, power, and connections. No matter how bad you say crosstalk, you still have a chance to become famous as long as you have a relationship, even if there is no relationship, you can definitely be able to eat your iron rice bowl within this system.
But it is different among the people. The people are all about ability. Craftsmen rely on their ability to make a living. If you are not capable, even if you have a strong relationship, the audience will still be hungry if they don’t buy tickets.
Cai Guoqiang was afraid of it. He knew too well that their gangs were capable of it. They had no ability at all. They hadn't even learned crosstalk for a few days and usually rely on fooling around.
As for their disciples, they are not capable of being masters. How powerful can the disciples they teach are?
It’s also a blessing that they are now mainstream, with a lot of resources in their hands and can help their disciples. But once folk crosstalk becomes mainstream, all of their disciples will starve to death, and then it will be all over.
So how could Cai Guoqiang allow Xiang Wenshe's commercial performance to be held smoothly? It's not that they are holding a commercial performance, but that they are ringing the death knell.
There are many people in the crosstalk world who have this idea. Basically, all the crosstalk actors who fool things can't sit still. They don't care about the future of crosstalk, but they just care whether the power resources they have on hand will be reduced.
This time, He Xiangdong and Xiangwenshe have truly touched their vital interests, and everyone must move, otherwise they will die by then.
Xiang Wenshe once again fell into a whirlpool.
...
Cai Guoqiang publicly stated in the media that crosstalk actors should think about serving the country, society and the people, and should not get into money. Crosstalk art cannot be arbitrarily dominated by the market, thus losing its beneficial nature to the country and the people.
A large number of words are written, and anyone can clearly see it. This is firing at Xiangwenshe and criticizing them for this crosstalk commercial performance. The key is that what he said is quite high-sounding. Most people will think it makes sense after seeing it. This person's level is really good.
As for Liu Weidong's speech, he was not so polite. He directly criticized Xiang Wenshe by name, seized some of the burdens in Xiang Wenshe's crosstalk and began to make a big fuss. He pointed out that Xiang Wenshe's crosstalk was polluting the spirit of the public and wasting the crosstalk culture.
If you allow the exhibition of crosstalk in Wenshe, it will form a very bad demonstration, which will be a huge blow to the crosstalk industry and will also have a very bad impact on the culture and atmosphere of society.
Liu Weidong didn't fire the fire, he fired the fire directly, and he took off all his body and went into a fight with the enemy naked, bloody, naked, and no cover at all.
Others in the crosstalk world also took action. This time the wave was even stronger than the previous one. It can be said that it was overwhelming, vast and very lively.
The group of people joined forces to go to the cultural department and demanded that Xiang Wenshe be investigated and punished, and closed Xiang Wenshe bets, a small folk crosstalk theater that polluted the public spirit.
This is the real thing. Xu Sihai told He Xiangdong the news, so he asked him to be careful. However, Xu Sihai did not receive the instructions from above, and he just sent someone to conduct a routine inspection. This time the cultural department's attitude was quite cold and did not give those people face at all. They still supported Xiang Wenshe quite well.
This incident made Cai Guoqiang puzzled, some doubts, and some were shocked.
...
"The things are getting worse and worse now. Are you doing well here?" Master Hou San asked He Xiangdong with a serious look on his face.
He Xiangdong nodded slightly and said, "It's okay here. The more they dance, the more helpless they are. Craftsmen have always relied on their ability to make a living. We say crosstalk for the audience. As long as the audience likes to listen, nothing can destroy us. I think Prince Su failed to kill crosstalk back then, let alone now."
Mr. Hou nodded and smiled, then sighed with a calm face: "The mentality is good, but your temper is too tough. You are still a small temple in Xiangwenshe, so it is too much of a loss to fight with them."
He Xiangdong's eyes were deep and he recalled the past: "I don't want to fight with anyone, nor do I want to steal anyone's job. The world I want most is peaceful and everyone lives in peace and work in peace. Everyone has food to eat and live a good life, but this is impossible."
Master Hou San was slightly surprised and was stunned with a cigarette in his fingers.
He Xiangdong continued: "Mr. Wang Miwei told me that as long as Xiang Wenshe continues to show this way, it will definitely become famous, and it will definitely force many artists in the system to have no way out. Xiang Wenshe will definitely become the target of public criticism at that time. At that time, I didn't understand, but later I understood."
Mr. Hou looked at He Xiangdong in a daze and had to admit that this was very reasonable, but he was unwilling to admit it at all. Do you really have to beat you to the death? Xiangwenshe is the hope of the crosstalk world. What if something happens?
As he spoke, anger appeared in He Xiangdong's eyes: "I was banned by them more than four years ago. At that time, I knew that the crosstalk world was no longer helpful. I just told a few truths and fell to this point. At that time, I told myself that I had to upset the crosstalk world and return the crosstalk world to a normal art environment. And now, I'm doing it."
