Chapter 54: Storytelling Staff Recruitment (2)
"Tell me about it. Zhan Lao Er also came to be interested.
"Actually, the war of more than 100,000 people is a small fight for our country. Let's say in private, the warlords and gangs in various places before our country are no worse than them. So, I think we can also use some of those small forces and small gangs to deal with it. ”
"Well, that's kind of interesting, you can think about it. You can do it. Still, give them a passable identity. Aren't they familiar with gang affairs, let them watch two gang TV and books at random, and then hang up the storyteller of that book. Don't show it. ”
"I know. The young leader nodded yes, and then said hesitantly, "Well, there's another thing I want to report to you." ”
"If you have something, let's talk about the friendship of fighting together, what's so embarrassing. ”
"That's right. I have a cousin, who is in the club, but something happened recently, gambling was jumped by immortals, and he owes a lot of gambling money, and he is hiding from debts recently. This guy is also quite clever, and he has a lot of good ideas in the community, so I want to get him too. ”
"Even, how much does he owe?"
"A million. ”
"It's not much, you pay the money, go and pay it back to him, and then let him come here and follow you. ”
"I don't have to withdraw it from the account, I have saved some money myself, I can just go out. In fact, it doesn't matter so much, when it was jumped by the immortals, it was more than 300,000 yuan, and the others were doubled with high interest rates. I thought I'd just pay back the 300,000 yuan, and I'll take the guy to threaten the rest and go over. I mainly want to get a job for him, after all, mixing clubs is not the right way. ”
"Okay, you look at it, you still pay one million, and the excess will be used as his settling-in expenses. What we're doing now is licking the blood with a knife, and we can't treat our own people badly. But let that kid learn well, and don't get involved in gambling and drugs in the future. ”
"Yes. The young leader nodded in response, and then whispered, "Boss Zhan, thank you." His voice was a little choked.
"Thank you, brothers who fight the world together, you should help those who can help. ”
In the next few days, such a scene appeared in the Song Continent.
In a small theater of storytelling, there are a few audience members sitting sparsely and scatteredly below. In front are a few older people, listening with a smile, and in the back, in the corner, are the two young people who came here to enjoy the shade and fall in love.
The storyteller finished the show and packed up his things and went to the backyard, where the boss was already waiting. The storyteller couldn't avoid it, so he stepped forward and said hello: "Boss." ”
The boss had a gloomy face and said, "You have also seen that the commentary you are talking about really can't attract guests." There are less than ten tickets for one game, and even the electricity bill is not enough. You'd better find another job. ”
"Boss, give me another chance. I have both old and young, and they all count on my salary to eat. ”
"Then I'll ask you to change the form, why don't you change it? Tell you that palace fights and popular family ethics dramas are popular now, what do you always say about the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and TV series have been filmed several times, who listens to you now. ”
"After all, there is a difference between TV and storytelling in terms of expression, content and focus. Besides, the content of those palace fights and family dramas is too superficial......"
"It's superficial, but someone pays! Don't say it, you're just a tendon, don't tell me anything about the quintessence and inheritance, I also have to eat, and if this continues, my small theater will be closed." I've already found a good person, no, these are all two-person turners and talk show actors I'm looking for, and I'll let them perform in the future. ”
The storyteller was about to say something more, begging the boss to give him another chance. At this time, two big men in white shirts and black suits came with suitcases. They walked up to the storyteller and asked politely, "Are you Liang Lao, a storytelling performance artist?"
"Ah, Liang Lao doesn't dare to call it, you can call me Lao Liang. What do you call me, do you have anything to do with me?"
Seeing that they had found the right person, the two big men breathed a sigh of relief, a relaxed smile appeared on their faces, and then said: "Old Liang, you are really hard to find, we inquired in many ways and traveled to many places to find you." Here's the thing, we are the royal guard of Atlantis, because Princess Ebilee, a member of the Atlantean royal family, has long admired the culture of the Song Kingdom, especially the art of storytelling. So you are invited to the Kingdom of Atlantis to perform for the royal family. Including board and lodging air tickets, the appearance fee is settled on a monthly basis, and less than a month is calculated as a month, with a monthly salary of 300,000 yuan. Saying that, a big man put the suitcase on the table and opened it, only to see a stack of banknotes inside: "This is 300,000 yuan, if you agree, this is your first month's salary." Do you think you always have time to go?"
The owner of the small theater was a little stunned when he saw this scene, what is the situation? I just drove people away, and this is robbing people, and Atlantis, and the royal family, where is it? Is this looking for someone to play and slap me in the face? But the 300,000 banknotes are here, and they don't look like it.
Liang Lao is also full of mixed feelings in his heart now, he just lost his job, and was hit in the head by a big pie, this big ups and downs are too exciting. But he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, how many generations of the quintessence of the inheritance, the Chinese people didn't like it, and the foreigners began to learn instead, sad. But this treatment is good, and I need money, how can I not agree.
So he said, "Thanks to Ai, Ai ......" and forgot what the princess's name was.
"Princess Ebilee. ”
"Well, thanks to Princess Ebilee, I am very grateful and willing to perform in your country, and I have repaid my love. ”
In a small wine game, a third-rate actor said to a storyteller: "Brother Zhao, this is a big director, and he is very famous in the circle." Although you used to be famous, but your popularity has been a bit low lately, so I said you should change your career and make a cameo appearance in movies and TV series. No, that's what the big director said. ”
"Zhao Lao, right?" the director asked, leaning back in his chair.
"Don't dare, just call me Lao Zhao. ”
"Xiao Wang has been working with me for many years, and I have to give him face, but I really don't know your level, or you can give me a look at it, just "Report the Name of the Dish". ”
Storyteller Lao Zhao explained with a smile: ""Reporting the Name of the Dish" is a crosstalk, although there is also a crosstalk in storytelling, but it is not the same. Why don't I give you a 'character like'?"
The director was not happy when he heard it: "What, do you mean I don't know how to pretend to understand?"
"No, director, I didn't mean that......" Lao Zhao hurriedly explained.
The third-rate actor also helped persuade him: "Director, Lao Zhao speaks straight, you should be more responsible." ”
"What does it mean to speak straight, which means that I don't tolerate people? Zhao Lao, call you Zhao Lao because you were also a little famous before, but this is how our circle is, you are too angry now, then you have to make way for newcomers. I came here to see the face recommended by Xiao Wang, but I have to say that your performance is too disappointing, forget it, our temple is small, and it can't accommodate your big Buddha......"
At this time, the door was pushed open, and when the director heard the voice, he was dissatisfied that his speech was interrupted, and he shouted without even looking at anyone: "Are the waiters so unruly now, won't they knock on the door when they come in?"
The person who pushed the door was stunned for a moment, looked at the person who spoke, and said with a smile: "Yo, this is Yaxing who disturbed the big director's dinner, it's okay, I'll find someone and leave, so as not to delay your business." By the way, I heard that the director is planning a film recently, and the time is quite tight, so I'll talk about it in two days, let them give you a vacation, and you can eat as much as you want. ”
Only then did the director recognize that the person was Ma Dong, the executive director of a branch of the Zhan Group, who was the owner who needed to hand over his business card at the banquet, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Ma Dong, I didn't know it was you who came......
Ma Dong waved his hand to stop the director from speaking, walked up to Lao Zhao, and said, "You are Zhao Lao, right?"
"Ah, I am. Lao Zhao saw that the director was so afraid to speak, so he hurriedly stood up and answered.
"Don't be nervous. The purpose of my visit is to introduce you to two friends. Ma Dong gave up his position and introduced the two people who followed him to Lao Zhao: "This is a member of the royal guard of the Atlantis Kingdom, and I came to invite ...... at the request of the royal family."
Ma Dong talked about the rhetoric and salary of the Atlantis royal family inviting storytelling artists to perform.
Lao Zhao was smashed by the pie and couldn't turn around all of a sudden, and said in disbelief: "Is this true?"
Ma Dong said: "You can rest assured that our Zhan Group can guarantee this." ”
The director has the vision to see the child, and his mind is lively, so he hurriedly added: "Zhao Lao, you can quickly agree, you see that Ma Dong has personally come out to invite you, can you fake it?"
The third-rate actor was also next to persuade him to agree quickly. Lao Zhao thought for a while and promised to give it a try. When the two "royal guards" accompanied Zhao Lao home to pack his things, and when Ma Dong went out, the director hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Ma Dong, how offensive you were just now, ......what about the holiday?"
Ma Dong waved his hand and said: "How can I have the leisure to be angry with you, if the people who offend me will be retaliated again, I will have no time to work." ”
The director's heart fell to the ground, and he said with a smile: "You have a lot of adults, this is not like us." Either you are a big boss, we are just a small director, and doing things is atmospheric. By the way, this Zhao Lao ......"
"Well, this is what the second young master explained. Ma Dong said casually.
"Second Young Master?" The director was a little puzzled, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly reacted: "You mean the second young master of the Zhan family?"
"Well, the specific reason is not clear, but since the second young master has spoken, I must pay attention to it. You should know how to do it. ”
"Yes, yes, when Zhao Lao comes back, I will arrange to make a movie for him. ”
"We'll talk about that then. As a middle-level executive, Ma Dong knew some news and sighed: "He may not want to act in a movie at that time." ”
After Ma Dong left, the director thoughtfully, raised his eyes and saw the third-rate actor next to him, and said: "Xiao Wang, your acting skills have improved very quickly recently, you can try the actor in the next play." ”
"Huh?" happiness came too suddenly, and Xiao Wang was also blindfolded.
