How popular was the hilarious Gatling back then?

Liu Xin remembers that when she was still studying in central opera two years ago, the school specially invited several teachers from the hilarious Gatling to teach them to act.

At that time, the large classroom was crowded and crowded.

In just a few years, the hilarious Gatlin has gone from being sought after by thousands of empty alleys to now being reduced to being a big bird in the small county town of Lanxi.

At that time, Gatling had two pillars.

One name is Takayama and the other is willow branches.

One man and one woman.

It's a pity that Willow Branch was later poached by a powerful entertainment company and has since embarked on the path of a comedy star.

Although Gao Shan was worried about this, the two of them were at the time of their popularity.

No one is going to get along with money.

Therefore, for the sake of the common "money path", they temporarily covered up this psychological dissatisfaction.

But with the departure of Willow Branch, the hilarious Gatling encountered more and more problems, and without Willow Branch's cooperation, Takayama has been in a state of collapse ever since.

Gatling has since declined.

And what makes Takayama even more depressed than the decline of the comedy club is the friendship that has been lost for many years.

There's nothing more heartbreaking in the world than the loss of years of friendship.

On the way to Lanxi, Lu Ban got to know Gao Shan and the Gatling Comedy Troupe, and judging from his resume, whether it is his appearance or acting skills, Gao Shan is very suitable for the role of Charlotte.

The only question is, is Takayama willing to act?

Lu Ban and his entourage came to a remote façade in Lanxi County, and went up from the dim staircase next to it, and the second floor was where Gatling performed.

The young lady who sold the ticket set up a table at the top of the stairs.

Three tickets, forty-five dollars.

Cheaper than going to the zoo.

"Director Liang, are you sure this is where the Gatling Comedy Troupe performs?" asked Liu Xinhu suspiciously.

"Takayama just sent me the address in the afternoon...... Isn't there a sign at the door that says it......"

"Let's go in and wait. ”

Lu Ban couldn't stand the look of the young lady who sold tickets looking at him, and looked back at the dark and damp stairs, and it seemed that it was safer to go in.

Being handsome is sometimes quite distressing.

When I entered the second floor, I suddenly felt that this was indeed a place for performances.

The stage of the performance, the seats of the audience, are neat, even every stool and every floor are polished.

Director Liang wants to go backstage.

It's a pity that he was stopped by a woman.

"I'm looking for Takayama. ”

"I'm sorry, everyone who comes here is looking for mountains, and I'm looking for flowing water. ”

"I made an appointment with Takayama to meet today. ”

"Uncle, you fooled me, how can I meet two guests like you who come with feelings in a month, but the rules are the rules, Mr. Gao is creating, and he can't enter when he is creating, this is the rule. ”

The woman's voice is a little high, her hands are crossed on her waist, and she shows no mercy.

Lu Ban tugged on Liang Kesheng's arm.

"Director Liang, it's okay, let's wait. ”

"It's still this handsome guy who is sensible. ”

The woman smiled and moved chairs for the three of them: "You guys came from out of town?"

"How do you know we're from out of town?" Lu Ban smiled and chatted with the woman.

The woman pouted: "Who still comes to see the locals, the free tickets are ......"

She suddenly stopped talking, because it seemed that she had slipped out, after all, the three guests in front of her had spent forty-five yuan.

Lu Ban didn't care.

After chatting for a while, he inquired and found out that this woman's name is Huanghua, and everyone here calls her Daylily, and she is a student of Gao Shan.

Liang Kesheng frowned and glanced at Lu Ban.

Lu Ban nodded slightly.

Liang Kesheng shook his head.

Lu Ban nodded again.

Liang Kesheng shook his head again.

Huang Hua put her hands on her cheeks on the side, looked left, looked again, and suddenly said, "You two...... Is there something wrong with your neck?"

Lu Ban: "......"

Liang Kesheng: "......"

Liu Xin only pursed her lips and snickered on the side.

She guessed that Lu Ban wanted Huang Hua to play Ma Dongmei, because Huang Hua was very in line with Ma Dongmei's characteristics in terms of appearance and temperament.

But Liang Kesheng seems to disagree.

At this moment,

The door to the backstage room opened, and out of it came a man of medium stature, with messy hair, a messy beard, and a melancholy face.

Lu Ban was stunned, if he hadn't seen the photo, he wouldn't believe that this person was Gao Shan at all.

Liu Xin was also stunned, she didn't seem to believe that this was the mountain she had seen.

The high mountains in her impression, any word, can make the audience laugh, even a look, can make everyone happy.

Only Liang Kesheng stood up.

Step forward.

Gao Shan also saw him, and there were a few rays of sparkle in his dead eyes.

The two of them hugged each other.

It's a very hard kind, I haven't seen it for many years, and I feel like I'm reunited after a long absence.

"This is Lu Ban and Liu Xin. After the two separated, Director Liang introduced.

"I know you, I've read the script. ”

"Huh?"

"The script is good, I'm not as good as you. ”

There was a gloom in Gao Shan's eyes.

Lu Ban was stunned, he didn't expect Gao Shan to say such a sentence.

"It turned out to be the script you wrote!"

Huang Hua suddenly said: "You don't know that the script you wrote made my teacher miserable, he held it in the room for a day, you are simply amazing." ”

“？？？”

Lu Ban was a little confused.

You've turned too much.

Liang Kesheng said with a smile: "Gao Shan rarely praises people, you are the second one who can make him hold in the room for a day." ”

"Who's the first one?" Lu Ban asked.

Liang Kesheng did not answer, but looked at Gao Shan.

Gao Shan was stunned for a moment before he said slowly: "The first one is a willow branch." ”

Lu Ban nodded, he seemed to understand something.

Takayama's temperament was different from what he thought, he thought that the comedian should be the "full of drama" that he saw on the stage and screen, and he made you unhappy when he raised his hand and mouth.

Not really.

Real comedians, some of them will be more silent, and will not take the initiative to become the center and protagonist of the scene.

This kind of real comedy master is often a "sullen" type of person in life.

They are more focused on creating.

Takayama is like this, not like a comedian who is a comedian.

"Let's go, let's go drink. ”

Gao Shan patted Lu Ban on the shoulder and walked out.

Huang Hua hurriedly asked, "Then ...... their tickets?"

Lu Ban knew that what she wanted to ask was whether their tickets had been refunded.

Who knows

Gao Shan waved his hand: "Ticket money, take it to buy wine." ”

......

The night breeze is slightly cool.

At a food stall on the side of the street, five people sat at a table.

There's nothing to talk about in the script, Takayama has read it and can't find anything wrong.

There is nothing to talk about in salary, even if Director Liang gives it, he will not ask for it.

So the rest is simpler.

Takayama holds a wine bottle.

"Xiao Lu, the whole two mouthfuls are white. ”

"No, I can't come......"

"Less. ”

"Just a little, okay, enough, that's too much. ”

Lu Ban was suddenly full of gloom.

"!"

“...... Dry. ”

The tone of these two "dry" voices is completely different, one is full of pride and ambition, and the other seems to be discouraged.

There are five stages of drinking.

In the girlhood stage, guard against it and defend it to the death.

The young-woman stage is half pushed and half done.

In the prime of life, all of them are not enough.

Widow stage, I'm coming to fight with you.

At the stage of the old lady, if you can't do it, you still need wine.

"Boss, come again...... One more bottle ......."

Lu Ban is now an old lady who can't drink alcohol, and when she stands up and walks, her legs tremble more like an old lady.

"We ...... will definitely succeed, in the future, Brother Gao, you will be the actor...... Huanghua, you are ...... It's Ma Li, no, you're the queen ......"

Lu Ban held the wine bottle and was full of nonsense.

Huang Hua glanced at him, a good-looking man really can't drink much, and he even talks nonsense, who is Ma Li, does the old lady look like Super Mario?

Then

A singer came to the side.

Lu Ban walked over with a dry spirit, threw the wine bottle on the ground, and snatched the singer's guitar around his neck.

He pulled out his phone and dialed a number in a daze.

Then throw your phone aside.

The phone flickered a faint light, and after a while, it showed that the time of the call was beating.

At this point,

In the food stalls, music played.

And in the grass on the side of the road, the flash lights also came on.
