Chapter 48: Disappointment

Before coming here, everyone had great hopes and wanted to make a big splash, but in fact it was not.

Entertainment is abundant, and the old-fashioned singing is not as good as some activities that are specifically eye-catching.

There were a few lonely audience members standing in front of the old stage, and there was no one else.

"What do you have to watch when a few old men sing operas, don't look at it, let's go, there are people singing pop songs over there, let's go over. The parent pulled the child and said.

"I want to listen to a song!" the child shouted as well, and walked to the other side.

Zhang He wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't help but didn't speak.

The audience wants to see what is their right, it is their freedom, and they can't force people to listen to the same old talk here.

One by one, the audience passed by, stopped here to listen, and then left here to go to other places to watch the performance.

"Alas. Liu Xingwu sighed, looking helpless.

The result was not expected, although I was mentally prepared, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Zhang He's mood was like being poured from his head by a basin of cold water, his body was cold, and his heart was also cold.

If it is released alone, there may still be people to watch it, but on this stage, there are other performances around, and the old voice has no advantage at all.

Zhang Delin and others also noticed this, but they still performed stage.

"Push away the green-maned horse!"

"Hey!"

"Haojie dares to take the lead!"

"Hey!"

The old artists sang in unison and shouted together.

It's not the first time that no one has come to see it, and everyone is used to it.

For old artists, it is already okay to be able to sing in an old voice, and they don't have to care about other people's eyes.

After singing a song, Zhang Delin and the others trimmed it a little, and then started the next song.

"My third brother was born with a fiery ......," Zhang Delin sang to himself.

As the time came to noon, the sun became more and more scorching, and there was no shade, and the old artists sat in the scorching sun, but everyone's face was full of enthusiasm.

As if they couldn't feel the heat wave of the air, the crowd sang loudly and swayed, even if there was not a single audience.

On the main stage, Dong Hu personally came to the stage, and a little star was invited to perform, not very famous, at least Zhang He only vaguely remembered hearing the name of this star.

When the star came out, the surrounding stages were all gone.

Some of the performing groups stopped directly, found a shady place to rest, and gossiped.

Only the old man has not stopped yet, and there is not a single audience in front of him.

The people around them all looked at this side with a mocking expression.

"Brother, you are intangible cultural heritage. On the stage on the side, the man in the lead walked over and handed out a cigarette and asked.

"yes. Zhang He took the cigarette and said with a smile.

"Intangible cultural heritage is all old things, it's not interesting, people don't like to listen to it now, brother, it's not me who said, you don't have to sing, the audience is gone, what else is there to sing. The man persuaded.

Everybody's gone to the main stage, and no one is here.

The old voice is singing now to play the piano to the cow, which is useless.

"It's okay if you don't sing, we're supposed to be foils, and people mainly want to sell things, not to promote that we're here. The man continued.

Zhang He shook his head and said, "The contract stipulates that we will sing until four o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"The rules are the rules, the scene is the scene, are you singing in vain now, no one listens, it's better to waste this time than to quickly find a cool place to stay, just this amount of money is not enough if you have a heat stroke. The man was a little angry.

He couldn't bear it when he looked at Zhang He's group of people under the big sun, and came over to persuade him with good intentions, but he didn't expect it to be a tendon.

"Don't you want to think about it, can the old people stand it physically?" the man said helplessly.

He turned his head to look at Zhang Delin and shouted: "Guys, let's stop singing, take a rest, no one will care!"

"Why don't you ask me to stop, we're happy to sing the old words. Zhang Delin sang the answer directly.

The man shook his head, he really obeyed this group of people, and he dared to love a group of crazy people.

stopped persuading and chatted with Zhang He.

It's okay if you don't have to perform now, so let's talk about it out of curiosity.

It's the first time I've seen a performance of intangible cultural heritage, it's a little fresh, and it sounds a little interesting, but unfortunately it's not the place.

When the main stage was over, the audience gradually dispersed, and the other small stages began to perform.

The performance lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone packed up their things.

Dong Hu walked over with the staff, and when he saw a group of people all tanned, Dong Hu's face was surprised.

"Why didn't you get a tent for the old artist?" Dong Hu's tone was cold.

"Boss, we didn't have enough tents, nothing extra to spare. The staff said hurriedly.

"Boss Dong, it's out of the way, we're all in good health. Zhang He said with a smile.

Although my heart is heavy, I still have to smile on the surface.

"Boss Zhang, I'm too busy today, I can't take care of it, if there is an event next time, I will invite you to come, Xiao Liu, go and settle the money for them." Dong Hu commanded.

The man behind him stepped forward and pulled the money out of his pocket.

A full day of performances earned 800 yuan.

Is it worth it?

If you only look at the money, it's not worth it for the old artist.

But art can't be measured by money, although today's performance response is mediocre, but at least let some people know the old way, if only in Huayin performance, Dali people will never know the old way.

"Thank you, Boss Dong, next time you have the opportunity to continue to cooperate. Zhang He said with a smile.

"Goodbye. Dong Hu responded.

Zhang He and the others slowly left here with their luggage.

Looking at the back of this pedestrian, Dong Hu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although he didn't watch the old-fashioned performance just now, he also paid more attention to it, and the old-fashioned artists were still performing seriously even if there was no audience, which made him admire.

"I hope you can make it. Dong Hu said silently in his heart.

……

took the bus back to Huayin, sent the old artists back to the village, and ran back and forth, and everyone had no complaints.

Zhang Delin: They can still insist on singing in this environment, and their mentality is very good.

No matter how bad the old ones can be now, they are better than before, at least they are still a national intangible cultural heritage.

In the old cavity protection center, Zhang He and Liu Xingwu were squatting in the courtyard, and their faces were a little bitter.

"There's still a long way to go, don't worry, this is the first time we've gone out to perform, and this result is normal. Liu Xingwu comforted.

It can only be said that Zhang He's expectations are too high, but this performance is originally a foil, a foil for other companies' activities.

"Do you think we can go out?" Zhang He was a little drumming in his heart.

"I don't know. ”

The two fell silent.

In the evening, Zhang He counted the money, eight hundred yuan, except for the expenses on the road, and then gave the money to the old artists, it can be said that there is not a penny left, this trip is in vain.

I took a job with confidence, but found that I didn't make any money, and everyone was very tired.

If it weren't for the good health of the old artists, maybe they would have to fall ill a few times this time, so they wouldn't be able to make a deal.

Zhang He summed up his experience, summed up his lessons, and reflected in his heart.

In the future, you need to think carefully about this kind of work before taking it, and you can't rush over it just because you are going to another place.

The national intangible cultural heritage still needs to be a little bit old.

The work of the theater continued, Zhang He organized the work of opening the theater, the income and expenditure were unbalanced, and there were activities later, and Zhang He only followed after the inspection, and there were not many artists who went each time.

When you go out for a run, you don't play much of a role, and you don't make much money.

The propaganda campaign stops there.

The journey out of the country is not as easy as you think.

Local governments can support it, but they can't always carry out activities every day, and the funds are limited, so they don't have so much money to do these things.

There is not much money to use for the old cavity conservation center, and many of Liu Xingwu's ideas can only be put on paper and cannot be implemented.

One day, Liu Xingwu answered a phone call, and his expression changed slightly.

"Feng Ju, there's no need, it's not interesting for us to look for it in the past. Liu Xingwu said reluctantly.

Lin Xiong and Wu Xiaoqian on the side looked sideways, not knowing what was going on, which made Liu Xingwu's expression.

"Okay, let's go over and have a look, but I'm going to say something ugly, I'm only in charge of the show, and nothing else. Liu Xingwu said helplessly.

Hanging up the phone and getting up from his seat, Liu Xingwu let out a long sigh and looked tired.

"Director Liu, what's going on?" Wu Xiaoqian said curiously.

"You go and call Zhang He, forget it, I'll tell him!" Liu Xingwu said in a deep voice and walked out by himself.

"Isn't there a phone here? Why didn't Director Liu call?" Lin Xiong said blankly.

Liu Xingwu trotted all the way and ran directly to Zhang He's house.

Zhang He was reading the Huashang Newspaper in his hand, and turned his head to look when he heard the voice.

"What's wrong, what's the matter?" Zhang He wondered.

"Feng Ju sent us a task, Weinan Normal University wanted to hold an event to bring traditional culture to campus, and Feng Ju recommended us to perform in the past. Liu Xingwu said slowly.

"Into the campus?" Zhang He's face was flat.

Weinan Normal University is an undergraduate college in Weinan City, with a history of several decades, and everyone in Weinan knows it.

"I don't really want to go, but this is a task, I can't help but go, Feng Ju has already told it over there. Liu Xingwu was not very happy.

None of the previous performances have achieved good results, and this time he entered the campus, he felt that there would be no good results.

The old people don't like it, how can the young people like it.

The previous performances were all organized by the government and aimed at officials.

It is of great significance to enter the campus, you can perform in front of young people, if you can make young people like the old style, the old style is expected to be inherited and spread.

However, no one thought it would be successful.

"Whatever. "Zhang He can't keep his spirits.

He didn't have much hope for this, it was easy to perform on campus, but after what happened before, in his eyes it was just an ordinary performance.

Even ordinary people can't be attracted, let alone these young people.

"Brother, let's prepare, you come with me, we will go with Delin Ye and them, if not, we have to go." Liu Xingwu said.
