Chapter 636: Gou Qifu of Yifu Class
Tianjin has also opened several small crosstalk theaters. After all, they are crosstalk nests, and the exhibition of crosstalk here is no worse than that of Beijing.
The Yifu Class is a more famous folk crosstalk group in Tianjin. This crosstalk team was established in oo years and has been around for four years now.
This team has also received support from many crosstalk seniors in Tianjin, and many capable seniors have joined in. These people are all people who know crosstalk and know how to say crosstalk to be loved by the audience.
So in just a few years, the art welfare class has really become a little bit and is very popular with the audience. It can still make some money. The people who say crosstalk can at least make a living by saying crosstalk.
Don’t think this is a joke. Nowadays, there are really few people listening to crosstalk. People who say crosstalk have part-time jobs. He will starve to death when he speaks crosstalk full time. Last year, Xiang Wenshe only made it possible to let everyone have enough food. It is the same as the current art welfare class, so it is already very good that the art welfare class can achieve such results.
The head teacher of the Yifu Class is Gou Qifu, who is a crosstalk actor in his forties. The Yifu Class was founded by him and a group of old seniors. Now he is quite famous in the crosstalk world in Tianjin.
The performance of the Art Fu Class is in a local teahouse. Crosstalk is an art in a teahouse, which can be regarded as a return to its original origin.
Gou Qifu entertained guests in the backstage office today. After all, he is nearly forty years old. Gou Qifu's face also reveals a bit of vicissitudes of life, with a mature man's charm. His hair is combed into a big back, but his line is relatively high, and he may be able to see the wonders of the Mediterranean in a few years.
Sitting opposite Gou Qifu was a man of his age, but this man had a greasy and frosty face and looked much smoother. This man was named Zhou Guoqing, and he was the manager of Tianjin Fanglan Theater.
Gou Qifu made tea for Zhou Guoqing. Zhou Guoqing's fat face was full of smiles and said to Gou Qifu: "Hey, brother-in-law, do you know the Xiang Wenshe came to Tianjin commercial performance?"
Gou Qifu didn't look up, but he was still focused on making tea and replied: "Well, I heard that, why do you know this too?"
Zhou Guoqing smiled and said, "Of course, they chose our theater to perform."
"Oh." Gou Qifu responded, brought the tea to Zhou Guoqing, and said, "Drink tea."
Zhou Guoqing gently buckled the table with his hands twice to express his gratitude, but he couldn't wait and said with a hint of gloating: "Hey, brother-in-law, this Beijing crosstalk person has come to our Tianjin to play. Are you watching like this?"
Gou Qifu pulled the cup of tea on his table to his side and said in a plain tone: "What are you playing games but not playing games? Since ancient times, crosstalk has to be famous in Tianjin to be considered a stellar move. This person is here to make a name for himself."
Zhou Guoqing is still provoking trouble: "I heard that they are so popular in Beijing. The box office entrance is crowded with people, and many people can't buy tickets with money. Most of the scalpers in Beijing are crowded with them. I also heard that they have held four commercial performances in Beijing and have earned millions."
Gou Qifu nodded slightly, and he knew all the things Zhou Guoqing said. Tianjin has been an important place in the capital since ancient times, and it is very close to Beijing City. Besides, everyone is a crosstalk industry. How could he not know that Xiangwenshe, who is in the limelight, has the same Xiangdong?
Nowadays, many of He Xiangdong and Xiangwenshe’s crosstalks have been broadcast on Tianjin Radio Station, and many Tianjin audiences have heard other people’s crosstalks.
However, Xiang Wenshe is still popular in Beijing and its influence in Tianjin is still much worse. After all, Beijing is the base camp, and He Xiangdong has cooperated with Beijing TV and radio stations. This kind of publicity is covering and continuous.
No one in Tianjin helped him promote it, but the radio station occasionally played a little He Xiangdong's crosstalk, so He Xiangdong, who is almost a household name in Beijing, is much worse in Tianjin, even in the capital, let alone other places.
After leaving the Beijing-Tianjin area, He Xiangdong is only more powerful than passers-by. After all, this is not the Internet era in later generations, and the spread of information is relatively slow. In addition, He Xiangdong has been popular for too short, and it has been less than a year since it has been completed.
Zhou Guoqing smiled wickedly: "Brother-in-law, do you think I want to use some tricks in their business performance?"
Gou Qifu was speechless, looked at Zhou Guoqing with his eyes squinted, and said angrily: "I said, are you feeling uncomfortable if you don't ask for trouble? They became popular in Wenshe, which is a good thing for the crosstalk world. They can drive more people to listen to crosstalk, which is also a good thing for us. We can live more nourishing. China is so big that he can't seize all the markets for Wenshe, but his family of Wenshe."
Zhou Guoqing gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Brother-in-law, you are so open-minded. I heard that the people who are talking crosstalk in Beijing are having a fight with He Xiangdong."
Gou Qifu shook his head: "There is no way. He Xiangdong is holding it in his arms to kill them. They also want to kill Xiang Wenshe. How can we not fight?"
Gou Qifu sighed again: "But, He Xiangdong is a bit unique and has a tough personality. He looks quite inflated now."
Zhou Guoqing said in confusion: "Inflation? How do you say it?"
Gou Qifu said: "He came to Tianjin to hold a commercial performance, but he didn't say hello to anyone. Isn't this still inflated?"
Zhou Guoqing laughed: "You are still pretending to be generous, are you showing off now?"
Gou Qifu shook his head and said nothing.
The rule of visiting local peers was very common in the old society. At that time, people in every place were very unique and were relatively xenophobic. If you have to come to do business, you have to visit local peers and get their recognition, you can only do business here. Otherwise, people will ignore you at the least, and at the worst, they will make trouble.
In the past, people who ran to the docks called this method called the docks, while artists in the martial arts called this kind of thing called the ministers, the guests were visiting guests, and the colleagues from other places came here to visit local peers. Of course, the local peers were not necessarily locals, but as long as they came early, you still had to visit others.
According to the old rules, as long as you come to visit, local artists will generally agree, and will also tell you the local customs and people's personality and habits, so that you can earn more money when you are performing arts.
Even if there is any unexpected situation, if someone doesn't want you to perform here, he will give you some money and let you go to another place. These are the old rules in the old society, and it has become much weaker now.
Nowadays, people just can’t help but be unreasonable. It doesn’t matter if they don’t worship the prime minister. Who can force you to stop you from performing?
"Master, I have an invitation for you." A young man came in outside.
Gou Qifu took it and opened it and saw it, and was very happy.
