Chapter 596: Trendsetting Cabaret Culture
Wu Xiaozheng believes that a woman must have something to do, otherwise it is easy to become a cook and a canary, which can easily become a man's trouble, and it is also unfair to the woman herself.
But he has reservations about whether Zhang Ying wants to enter the showbiz or not.
But is this up to him?
Sure enough, the trouble came.
Next, Zhang Limei began to enthusiastically introduce her "career".
As Wu Xiaozheng expected, Zhang Limei's so-called acting "career" is nothing more than forming a group of young men and women, making a dance troupe, and a few singing, and then starting to run all over Changsha, and then occasionally arranging one or two less important programs on radio and television.
Can't get on the table at all!
But Zhang Limei is still proudly showing off: "Now we have more opportunities to perform, we have the opportunity to perform in big venues such as Fenglin Hotel, Aviation, Butterfly, Roman, etc., and the income is not bad." ”
She reported a list of cabaret names.
Cabaret culture is a cultural phenomenon unique to Changshi from the 90s to the early 20th century.
Even, when the song hall culture became popular in Changshi in the 90s, it brought fire to Chengdu, Wuhan, Shenzhen and other big cities.
At that time, some media even commented that the booming Changshi song hall not only invigorated the performance market, but also enriched the cultural life of the people.
After 94 or 95 years, when the Changshi song hall culture was the hottest, there was even a few very interesting words:
Arrived in Changshi?
Have you ever eaten stinky tofu in the Fire Palace?
Have you ever been to a song hall?
It is said that when the song hall culture was at its hottest, even Zhao Benshan and other famous performing arts stars in the country would fly to Changshi to watch the song hall performances.
Here, many famous local grassroots stars have also risen, such as cross talk actors and comedy stars Yang Wuliu, Zhou Weixing, Qizhi, Da Bing, Dege, He Jingjing, etc.
Also, many singers from Changshi City, a considerable number of them started running in song halls.
As for the celebrities who come to the Changshi Song Hall, there are not a few in this era.
Wu Xiaozheng is no stranger to song hall culture.
In his previous life, when he was in Shenzhen, he did not enter the big song hall that was passed from Changshi, and left a lot of laughter and joy in it.
Later, when he came to Changshi, he experienced the unique song hall culture of Changshi, but at that time, the song hall culture had declined, and there were only five or six of the hottest ones left in the entire Changshi.
That's not the most important thing.
The important thing is that in order to persuade Zhang Ying, Zhang Limei actually took the initiative to invite her: "We have a performance in the aviation song hall tonight, why don't you go and see it first?"
Zhang Ying looked at Wu Xiaozheng expectantly.
She knew that if Wu Xiaozheng disagreed, it would be difficult for her to casually haunt such a messy occasion.
"Boss Wu, you just accompany Xiaoying to take a look, it's very good-looking, and you're happy to see it. Zhang Limei began to advocate again.
So far, she still hasn't figured out the relationship between him and Zhang Ying.
Check it out!
Anyway, if you look at it, you won't lose meat.
Wu Xiaozheng instructed Brother Hai: "Go to the aviation song hall and book a few tickets." ”
Don't underestimate the cabaret of this era.
In this era when the number of song halls is not particularly large, the more famous song halls are basically hard to find, and if you don't book tickets in advance, there will be no seats, or only standing tickets.
It can be said that in this era, the popularity of local song halls in Changshi may not be lost to the concerts of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.
This is a local cultural phenomenon in Changshi.
Wu Xiaozheng didn't expect that he would mention and appreciate this kind of local culture in Changshi.
It is better to be happy alone than to be happy in all.
At eight o'clock in the evening, after dinner, Wu Xiaozheng took Zhang Ying, Liu Zhijun, Shen Mo, Hai Ge and others to the Butterfly Building near Wuyi Square, where the pioneer of Changshi song hall culture - aviation song hall is located.
Because it is a pioneer, although the aviation song hall is famous, the scale is not large, and the whole can only accommodate more than 100 people, and if you squeeze it, it can accommodate more than 200 people at most.
Although the place is small, the tickets are sold expensively.
For example, the position where Wu Xiaozheng and others are sitting close to the stage is considered a first-class ticket, and the price is 80 yuan, even if it is a second-class ticket, it costs 40 yuan, and even a standing ticket costs 20 yuan.
But fortunately, because it is expensive, in front of the seats of Wu Xiaozheng and others, there is a long table with some melon seeds, peanuts, snacks, tea, etc.
This is similar to the nightclub seats of later generations.
Before nine o'clock in the evening, the aviation cabaret was packed.
At this time, there was still a full half hour before the start of the performance.
The opening time is late and the duration is long, which is also the characteristic of the Changshi Song Hall, which is suitable for those bigwigs who are not bad for money to eat and drink beautifully, and then come to watch the performance.
But even so, the audience was not the slightest bit impatient, everyone was talking, laughing, eating snacks, and waiting for the performance to begin.
"Boss Wu, are you also coming to see the show?"
A surprising person appeared.
It was Zhou Jianwei, who walked in with a few horses, and then sat down at the table next to Wu Xiaozheng.
As soon as he sat down, he saw Wu Xiaozheng at the table next to him, and immediately greeted him warmly.
This is the rivers and lakes.
Don't look at the two who just had a conflict, but because there is no grudge that cannot be resolved, since the matter is resolved, it will not be regarded as an overnight feud.
What's more, for Wu Xiaozheng, a very strong cross-river dragon, since Zhou Jianwei can't afford to provoke him, it is better to take the initiative to make friends.
"Boss Zhou is good. Wu Xiaozheng also politely replied.
Who knew that Zhou Jianwei actually climbed up the pole, and he had to put the two tables together, he wanted to accompany Wu Xiaozheng to watch the performance.
Sit together, just sit together!
Wu Xiaozheng also happily agreed.
He did not regard the characters of the Tao as snakes and scorpions.
"Boss Zhou, do you often come to the song hall to watch performances?" Wu Xiaozheng took the initiative to initiate the topic.
"Hey, people like us who have no culture and have nothing to do after eating, so we can only come to this kind of place to watch performances to pass the time. ”
Zhou Jianwei mysteriously approached Wu Xiaozheng and said: "Don't say it's me, at this point, at least half of the bigwigs on Changshi Road are mixed in the song hall." ”
And what's going on?
Wu Xiaozheng was quickly relieved.
In this era when nightclub culture has not yet become popular, the bigwigs really only have karaoke halls, dance halls, song halls and other places to pass the time, but if you want to be happy, you really have to count the song halls here.
It seems that he expected it right, a place like a song hall is really not suitable for Zhang Ying to mix, even if it is just to perform on the run.
But now that Zhang Ying is looking at the big stage with an expectant look, what can Wu Xiaozheng do?
