The New York show is the last stop in the United States, and this year's He Xiangdong's North American tour has a total of six stops, four in the United States and two in Canada.

After the performance in New York, He Xiangdong will go to Canada. The New York leg will be in late December, followed by two stops in Canada in January.

Now the United States is also cold, and the topography of the United States is very interesting, it is a mountain on the east and west sides, and a transparent plain on the north and south.

So in the summer, the hot and humid air currents of the tropics can sweep all the way up to Canada. In winter, cold air from the north can reach the southernmost tip of the United States.

Now is the coldest time in the United States, He Xiangdong and they have brought a lot of clothes over, and down jackets and other cold things are indispensable.

On the plane, Qiao Yu accompanied him.

He Xiangdong is now a big star, but he doesn't require that he must take first class or that he must be picked up by a special car.

He and Qiao Yu are friends, friends, just for the sake of each other, if you can save a little, it is a little, so He Xiangdong took business class, and other actors and employees took economy class.

There are also many Chinese in the business class, they saw He Xiangdong, and they also came over to say hello, and asked for an autograph group photo, He Xiangdong was also very generous, so he signed a group photo with them.

When they were all done, He Xiangdong returned to his seat, Qiao Yu smiled and said to He Xiangdong: "Teacher He, your fans are enthusiastic enough." ”

He Xiangdong shook his head with a smile and said: "Hey, I'm old, I can't compare with those young artists, and those young people's fans are crazy." ”

Qiao Yu smiled: "You are not that old, what's the matter, your body is not good?"

He Xiangdong slapped him and said angrily: "Go, don't listen to those actresses' nonsense." ”

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

The Chinese sitting next to him also laughed, and the American friends on the plane looked at these Chinese with a confused expression.

Qiao Yu finished laughing and said to He Xiangdong: "Teacher He, guess where we are performing this time?"

He Xiangdong said without thinking: "New York." ”

Qiao Yu hurriedly said: "No, no, which theater am I asking?"

He Xiangdong raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Yu curiously.

Qiao Yu was also smiling, his eyebrows and eyes full of pride.

He Xiangdong already had a faint guess in his heart, but he still asked, "Where?"

Qiao Yu replied, "Broadway." ”

Broadway refers to Broadway Avenue, which is a road in the United States that runs north-south. Broadway is famous for the many theaters that dot the road, and there were theaters here as early as the early 19th century.

So it was also from that time that opera gradually developed and flourished in the United States. In the twenties, Broadway reached its zenith, with more than 80 theaters and hundreds of performances a day.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, in the 30s, the United States encountered an unprecedented economic crisis, and everyone couldn't survive anymore, who had the money to go to the show.

It was also at this time that Mr. Mei Lanfang came to the United States, and also came to Broadway to perform.

It was also on Broadway that Mei Lanfang's name resounded throughout the United States.

Still on this Broadway, Mei Lanfang's two-week performance tickets were all sold out within three days. At that time, the highest ticket price in New York was $6 a ticket, but Mei Lanfang's ticket was sold to $16 a ticket, you must know that this is the United States in the economic crisis and depression.

Mei Lanfang created a miracle.

Of course, the United States in the 30s was in ruin, but now the United States is the only superpower on earth, and Broadway has long since been revived and better than it used to be.

Broadway is the hallmark of American theater production, with a long history, countless good productions, and countless good actors, so almost all Americans would think that only a successful Broadway show can satisfy the discerning American taste.

He Xiangdong didn't expect Qiao Yu to choose the theater on Broadway, but He Xiangdong didn't plan to conquer the Americans, the art of crosstalk has its limitations, he can only perform for Chinese, is it possible that you still expect crosstalk performances and many Americans to watch?

He Xiangdong couldn't laugh or cry, he said to Qiao Yu: "Old Qiao, why did you choose here, let's not play for the Americans." ”

Qiao Yu was full of reasons: "No, after all, Broadway is a symbol of American theater performances, and it is also a happy thing for us to be able to perform successfully in it, which is also the glory of our traditional art." ”

"And didn't Mr. Mei Lanfang also perform here back then, and it was so successful, let's follow the footsteps of the old gentleman, this is also a kind of inheritance, when the time comes, we can also say that there is Mei Lanfang in the front, and what is the eastward in the future. ”

He Xiangdong hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, don't say that, I can't compare with Mr. Mei, people are real world-class artists, I'm okay to mess around in the Chinese pile, and the others can't." When people say this about me, that's a lift-up, and if we publicize it ourselves, it's looking for scolding. ”

Qiao Yu also smiled helplessly, publicity, don't you have to create some hot controversy, you are so modest, how can we get it?

"Okay, okay, you have the final say. Qiao Yu could only be helpless when he met He Xiangdong.

The theater was chosen by the performer, and He Xiangdong was not very easy to interfere with, and now that they have been chosen, it is decided.

He Xiangdong didn't feel anything wrong, it's nothing more than a performance, where to perform is not an act, anyway, all the people who come are Chinese, just say it seriously, even if it is a performance on Broadway, is it possible that you still expect foreigners to come?

When they arrived in New York, He Xiangdong and other actors stayed in the hotel, two people in one room, this is the old tradition of Xiangwen Society, teasing and praising one room, no one can be an exception, including He Xiangdong and Xue Guo.

They have also been out of the country several times during this time, but they have also gotten used to it a lot, and they quickly adjusted their biological clocks.

There is still a day and a half before the performance, and He Xiangdong also took these children to go out for a walk and eat some local specialties.

He Xiangdong actually likes to eat on the side of the road, eating while walking, or eating food stalls directly, which he thinks is a kind of enjoyment.

But He Xiangdong is now a big star, but he is not as free as before, if he eats a roadside stall in China, he will be watched to death.

Now abroad, he can be considered to be able to relax. Now He Xiangdong is walking and eating with a bowl of fried noodles, and he also said that foreign fried noodles are not as delicious as domestic ones.

He's so comfortable.

After eating and having fun here, it was time to perform, but when it came to the day of the performance, He Xiangdong was taken aback.
