As time approached seven o'clock little by little, the audience also entered the venue and sat down 66 and followed the ticket to find their place.

The stage installation was also completed, just like the traditional crosstalk garden. The background was the signature of Xiangwenshe, which was not much different from the small theater stage of Xiangwenshe, but it was bigger, more luxurious, and more exquisite.

Backstage, the actors also changed their gowns, each holding three fragrance sticks in their hands. He Xiangdong stood in front, and the actors in the Wenshe Club stood in turn. At the front was a statue of god, Dongfang Shuo, the founder of the crosstalk school.

The ancestor of crosstalk was not afraid of poverty. It is generally believed that he created crosstalk, so he was regarded as the founder. However, the ancestor was not the same as the ancestor. In the old society, artists had a very low social status, so they generally regarded a relatively powerful historical figure as the founder to improve their status.

Crosstalk is to worship Dongfang Shuo as his ancestor, while Liyuanxing is to worship Emperor Ming of Tang as his ancestor, and the storytelling school is to worship King Zhuang of Zhou as his ancestor, and the principles are the same.

In the old society, when the crosstalk garden was held on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month or when there was a large-scale performance, we must worship our ancestors, ask our ancestors for blessings and reward them with food, and the same is true for other industries.

After the New China, these traditional habits were treated as dross, and no one was involved in worshiping the ancestors. However, Xiang Wenshe still inherited this habit.

Today is Xiang Wenshe's first commercial performance, and He Xiangdong led the people of Xiang Wenshe to worship the ancestors.

Mr. Hou San, Mr. Shi, Chu Cheng and the big crosstalks who came to visit Xiangwenshe all took incense, even Mr. Wang Miwei. Dongfang Shuo is the ancestor of their business, so it is appropriate to offer incense to the ancestor.

He Xiangdong is the headmaster of Xiangwen Club, so he stood in front and he took everyone to worship. Even if the other people have higher seniority than He Xiangdong, they have to stand behind him.

Other art seniors next to him were also watching the ceremony.

He Xiangdong had a solemn expression, holding a fragrance in his hand, and faced with a statue of God, and said loudly: "It has been more than eight years since Xiangwenshe founded the society. Thanks to the blessing of the ancestor, I have the present. Today is my first commercial performance in Xiangwenshe. I ask my ancestors to protect us from everything going well, and offer the fragrance to show my sincerity. I hope the ancestors will bless me with the crosstalk."

Everyone shouted in unison: "Master's blessing."

Then he bowed three times and inserted incense into the stove.

After the worship was completed, He Xiangdong said to everyone: "Okay, the performance is about to begin, and the preparations that should be made have been prepared long ago. They are all old actors, so I don't need to say anything else. Just act well on stage later. Okay, it's all over."

Everyone nodded and dispersed.

...

At about seven o'clock, the theater was full, and this kind of commercial performance was not as casual as the small theater of Xiangwenshe. If the small theater of Xiangwenshe is not enough, you can sit in the aisle with a small stool. This place is not possible, you can only sit by the seats.

The fat man finally didn't buy a ticket. He sighed at the door, feeling very pleased and lonely, and turned around and left.

The host of this commercial performance is Da Peng, and the crosstalk of the commercial performance will also be broadcast on TV and radio, so the recording teams of both companies have come here.

Da Peng also came to play the host and helped Xiang Wenshe do the hosting work, but he, the host, had to play later. The first small program was Men Liu'er of the crosstalk conference.

The musicians sat aside with the flute and flute. As the lights on the stage turned on, the band played music and the actors came on stage.

The first ones to come out were He Xiangdong's two little apprentices, Xiaolong and Xiaohu, the two sons of the noodle restaurant owner. They came out and bowed to the audience, and then stood on both sides separately.

Then there are Gao Ganglong and Chen Bo, and then Xiao Si and Xiao Wu. The order is all in particular, basically the order of juniors first and elders first. If it is a business, then come out together.

So the one behind is Chen Jun and the third brother. The two are now in a business, while the second brother and Guo Qing are in a business, and they come out a little later.

Other actors of Xiangwenshe, including Gu Baimo and Li Quanjiang, as well as the chicken and dog ascendant combination, Fan Wenquan and Zhang Wenhai, were the two old men, He Xiangdong and Xue Guo, who appeared in the end. As soon as they came out, they ignited the atmosphere of the whole audience, and the audience cheered thunderously.

He Xiangdong and Xue Guo stood in front of the stage, laughed, and when the audience cheered and stopped, he said, "Haha, there are a lot of people."

"Ah..." Before he finished speaking, the audience started to cheer.

Xue Guo was still praising her: "What's the matter?"

He Xiangdong smiled and said, "Then I have to wait for me to find out if there are any empty seats."

Everyone laughed again.

He Xiangdong smiled: "It's great. It's a good thing to love listening to crosstalk. Listen to crosstalk more, and you... will not lack cosmic cigarettes."

He Xiangdong suddenly caught Teacher Ma's choke.

Xue Guo waved her hand and scolded, "What a mess."

He Xiangdong smiled and said, "That means, this is our first commercial performance in Xiangwenshe, and it is also the first commercial performance in our crosstalk industry that does not lose money. This is the first time."

Xue Guo said: "That's right."

He Xiangdong clasped his fists with his hands: "It all depends on your kindness, you have spent a lot of money."

Xue Guo also said: "You are so proud of it."

The audience applauded.

He Xiangdong put down his hand and continued, "You all spent so much money, so we have to say it carefully, to be worthy of your tickets. If you are not busy leaving, we will try to say more."

"Okay." The audience applauded.

He Xiangdong smiled and then said, "In the past, at such a large crosstalk performance, the artists would sing a opening sing before the opening. Our industry called Liu'er, and the actors came out to stand on the stage and sang some small tunes for everyone, just like we are now, so next we will try this Liu'er for everyone."

After saying that, He Xiangdong looked at everyone, his eyebrows and eyes fixed, and he first recited the final poem: "A curved tree will eventually bend, and raising wolves and dogs will be difficult to keep a house. The ink dyed cormorants will not last long, and the white painted crows will not be strong. Candied yellow lotus will eventually be bitter, and forced picking fruits will not be sweet. Good things must be done by good people, and no mortals will be...b...be a god."

"Okay..." The audience applauded again.

He Xiangdongdao: "The next song is called Sixi, come, Fulu and Shouxi."

He Xiangdong picked up the folding fan, put it horizontally on his hand, opened his mouth and sang: "The word "Fu" adds joy, and the fortune is good at celebrating the jade bottle. Blessing is like the long flowing water in the East China Sea, and I hate that the blessing is late and wearing a big red body."

The band accompanied the music, and everyone joined in the Su Su: "Dou Dou is strong."

He Xiangdong sang again: "The deer smiled and won three yuan in a row, and the deer held Ganoderma lucidum and the deer was in the mouth. The deer passed through the pine forests of the mountains and the six kingdoms were named prime ministers and officials."

Everyone reconciled.

After singing Fulu and Shouxi, He Xiangdong paused for a moment and said to the audience: "The next are two pieces of music. As soon as you go on stage, you will pay attention."

This song is already beautiful, and coupled with He Xiangdongjue's voice, it is naturally even more pleasant: "As soon as I go on stage, I pay attention to it, on one side is the God of Wealth, and on the other side is the God of Wealth. The God of Wealth is holding a money tree, and the God of Happiness is holding a treasure pot. There is a golden foal on the treasure pot..."

He Xiangdong was just halfway through singing when he heard someone in the audience shouting loudly: "We want to listen to crosstalk, not to listen to singing."

More than one person shouted: "How much money we spent is not here to listen to you singing this, we have to listen to crosstalk."

"We want to listen to crosstalk."

"We want to listen to crosstalk."
