Chapter 987: Foreigner Scalper
San Francisco, sunny.
He Xiangdong came to San Francisco, which was He Xiangdong's first time abroad, and it was also the first time that the actors of Xiangwen Society went abroad.
When they come abroad, everyone has a little timidity in their hearts, not because they have low self-esteem or anything, but because they don't understand English at all, they can't understand it, and they feel a little embarrassed.
Also, most of these people have a junior high school education and know what English.
Among these apprentices who came out this time, the second one has better English, after all, he is from Tsinghua University, and his education is here, a high-achieving student.
He Xiangdong also specially expressed his closeness to the second child, he asked the second child to follow him inch by inch, and he said that this was a small stove for the second child.
In fact, he just wanted to find a portable translator for himself.
Xiang Wenshe's cross talk was unexpectedly popular in San Francisco this time, He Xiangdong was very surprised, Huantian Media was also surprised, and a large number of people in China were very surprised.
Later, Huantian Media also specially investigated, and finally found out the reason, the reason is the Internet, and the Internet is a great hero.
He Xiangdong has been popular for more than 5 years since he became popular in 04, and his works are overwhelming on the Internet, most of which are recorded by the audience themselves.
When He Xiangdong performed in the small theater, he often saw an audience recording with a mobile phone and a camera, but He Xiangdong never cared, and recorded it if he was willing to record.
So the Internet is all his stuff, now take a look on the Internet, the highest number of broadcasts spontaneously uploaded by netizens is He Xiangdong's cross talk, and the most content is He Xiangdong's cross talk.
Many of these cross talks have been edited, some are whole large segments, some are small segments, and even some small baggage.
Stand-up, counterpart, group mouth, variety shows, TV performances, commercial performances, and the Internet are all these things.
The Internet is accessible to the whole world.
Domestic netizens can watch it, and foreign netizens can naturally watch it.
There is also the high quality of He Xiangdong's cross talk, and everyone likes to watch it, which is fundamental.
These Chinese living overseas, in fact, they are also homesick, they see and listen to foreign things every day, and they also hope to see some Chinese things.
They want China to be strong more than anyone else, and this is true, only when the motherland is strong, can they, overseas Chinese, live a better life overseas.
When China was poor and weak, overseas Chinese were looked down upon abroad, and even sanitation workers would not come to clean the streets where they lived.
But one day, the sanitation workers went to clean the street in front of the overseas Chinese early in the morning, and the overseas Chinese went out to see smiling faces.
After reading the news, they learned that China had succeeded in building an atomic bomb and that China had become a nuclear-armed country, so they had the treatment they have today.
Do not think that overseas Chinese are not patriotic, they love it very much, and do not think that overseas Chinese will begin to dislike their own culture after they have come into contact with too much foreign culture, because they love their own culture more than anyone else. On the contrary, people in China are more admiring foreigners, and these overseas Chinese living abroad are more fond of traditional Chinese culture.
Traditional Chinese art is a little out of step with the times, but this does not include He Xiangdong, who is after all known as the last glory of traditional art.
These overseas Chinese have basically heard He Xiangdong's cross talk, and basically all of them like to listen to it, and they are basically all fans of He Xiangdong.
So after learning the news that Xiang Wenshe was going to perform in San Francisco, the overseas Chinese in San Francisco were crazy, and even the overseas Chinese living in other cities were also excited, and they also wanted to come to see He Xiangdong's performance.
Not for anything else, for He Xiangdong, for traditional Chinese art.
So the tickets were sold out in less than an hour, and those spectators crowded at the ticket gate couldn't buy them with money.
He Xiangdong also created a miracle because of this.
This miracle is not only because of the patriotic psychology of overseas Chinese, but also because of He Xiangdong's high level of cross talk art, both of which are indispensable.
If He Xiangdong is replaced and another cross talk actor is replaced, it will definitely fail. No matter how patriotic the audience is, your things are too bad, and people really can't afford to love them.
In the hearts of overseas Chinese, He Xiangdong's status is no worse than those first-line superstars in China, or even better.
After He Xiangdong heard the news, he also had thousands of emotions in his heart, and his heart was warm, this is the Chinese, this is the Chinese compatriots.
……
When he arrived in San Francisco, He Xiangdong also specially visited Wu Tianbao, a senior of cross talk, and Wu Tianbao helped a lot for this performance.
He Xiangdong also contacted him by phone before, but now that he has arrived in San Francisco, he wants to come to thank him.
Wu Tianbao is also very generous, it doesn't hurt to say it directly, and he also said that He Xiangdong is the pride of cross talk, and this performance is also a performance that can be recorded in the history of cross talk.
He Xiangdong also invited Wu Tianbao to dinner, and also invited Wu Tianbao to come to watch and guide on the day of the performance.
Wu Tianbao also smiled and agreed.
The diplomat introduced by Xu Sihai, He Xiangdong also went to express his gratitude, he is a state worker, He Xiangdong has to be scruples, and he doesn't let He Xiangdong invite him to dinner, saying that it is not in accordance with the regulations.
But because of Xu Sihai's relationship, the diplomat just had an AA meal with He Xiangdong, and He Xiangdong gave him two tickets for the commercial performance and invited him to watch. He couldn't refuse, so he accepted it.
Originally, the diplomat didn't feel that there was anything wrong, wasn't it just two tickets to the show, and it shouldn't be worth much.
But when he went to the show, he found that the ticket price had been fried to the sky by scalpers, and he knew how much the two tickets in his hand were worth, which was the first row.
He was stunned, and quickly took out the phone to report to the leader. As a result, his leader was in the theater, and his leader also grabbed tickets to watch the performance, but the seats were not as good as his.
It's ridiculous.
……
All in all, in a word.
Xiang Wenshe's commercial performance was a great success.
Finally on October 1st, Xiang Wenshe's San Francisco overseas commercial performance is about to start, for this commercial performance, He Xiangdong has prepared a lot, this time it's all the best work.
And they specially came a few days early, just to adjust for the time difference, this performance is not sloppy.
On the day of the show, they went backstage early.
When passing by the theater, He Xiangdong saw that the door was crowded with people, and there were many blonde and blue-eyed foreigners.
He Xiangdongzheng wondered, are there still foreigners who come to listen to cross talk?
Just as he was wondering, a foreigner came up and asked, "Do you have tickets?" (Do you have tickets? I'll buy them at a high price.)
