In a shabu-shabu restaurant in Dongzhimen, He Xiangdong, Xue Guo and Guo Qing sat around an old Beijing copper pot, the charcoal fire in the stove was burning, and the pot was boiling fiercely. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xue Guo and Guo Qing's cheeks were red, both of them were a little drunk, the mutton was almost shabu, and the two were drinking.

He Xiangdong looked as usual, he was still the same, he didn't drink a drop of alcohol, Xue Guo and Guo Qing sometimes didn't like to pull him up when they ate, it would be boring if they didn't drink, they had to be three people to call him.

Xue Guo and Guo Qing can drink together, if they are alone with He Xiangdong, the wine will not be able to drink, and it will be boring to drink.

Xue Guo looked at He Xiangdong with drunken eyes and said, "I don't like to eat with him, I don't drink, it's boring." ”

He Xiangdong picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it in sesame sauce, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, rolled his eyes and ignored the two people.

He has heard too many similar complaints in the past two years, and he has long been fearless.

Guo Qing also persuaded: "You, don't keep raising the bar with our Xiao Dongzi, Xiao Dongzi has been quite unhappy these days." ”

Hearing this, Xue Guo also fell silent.

Guo Qing shook his head and said nothing.

Hengyang Entertainment is a giant in the entertainment industry, they are just two ordinary little actors, and they don't even have the qualifications to be taken seriously by Hengyang Entertainment, let alone others.

He Xiangdong didn't care, he ate mutton and cold dishes by himself, and took a sip of a juice drink in his hand from time to time, and his appetite was very good.

Guo Qing was speechless when he looked at He Xiangdong like this, he said: "Okay, okay, you can die if you eat less, you loved to eat so much when you were a child, and your temperament has not changed since you grew up, look at what your body has eaten." ”

He Xiangdong rolled his eyes and said: "You still have the face to say, we both went on stage to talk about cross talk when we were young, and I won't talk about you when you dig the bottom of the matter, if I don't give you back, you have to die on stage, I don't care, you please." ”

Guo Qing was unhappy: "Hey, you took a lot of food from me when you were a child, and the account has already been paid off, why do you want me to invite you now?"

He Xiangdong said: "If you died on the stage at that time, you would have quit this business a long time ago, you see that I saved your professional life, this kind of life-saving grace can be paid off by a few sets of pancakes and fruits and a few bowls of Gaba dishes?"

Guo Qing was dumbfounded.

Xue Guo smiled: "You, don't fight with this shameless goods, you are an honest man, where can you fight for this stinky shamelessness." ”

He Xiangdong smiled: "I should praise this." ”

Xue Guo rolled his eyes.

At the dinner table, there was no word for a while.

After a while, Xue Guo asked, "How is the garden now?"

He Xiangdong said: "Hey, it's still the same as before, oh, by the way, I have accepted two new apprentices." ”

"Ah, two more? Counting these two, you have seven apprentices, right?" Xue Guo was speechless.

Guo Qing shook his head and had nothing to say.

He and Xue Guo are older than He Xiangdong, and now they don't have any apprentices, He Xiangdong is a good guy, they are already seven apprentices, who are you going to reason with this thing.

He Xiangdong nodded with a smile.

Guo Qing also said: "You've only been a few years old, and you've only accepted seven, and if you continue like this, you won't have to accept dozens of apprentices?"

He Xiangdong sighed and said: "It's rare that there are still young people who are willing to learn cross talk, this is a good thing, people are willing to learn, I will teach well, this is also preaching for the ancestors, there is nothing bad, I am now short of funds and talents, otherwise I will have to collect more." ”

Xue Guo sighed and said in a deep voice: "Actually, to be honest, Xiang Wenshe is a burden to you, if you didn't have Xiang Wenshe, with your ability, you would have soared into the sky by now." ”

He Xiangdong smiled and was silent for a while before he said: "Xiangwen Society is my root, this is not something that can be measured by money or fame, even if I am poor all my life, I will not give up this place." ”

Xue Guo and Guo Qing were silent.

After a long time, Xue Guo drained the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then spit out the wine and laughed at himself: "I have also learned cross talk since I was a child, sat in science and art, and now I am in my thirties." The cross talk has been talking for half a lifetime, but it hasn't made any reputation, the salary given by the group is not enough for food, and I also find fault and deduct money every once in a while, if I don't go to make movies and television, I guess I will starve to death. ”

Guo Qing was also silent, because he and Xue Guo are actually exactly the same, they love cross talk very much, but they can't eat enough with cross talk, both of them are now married and have children, the family always has to live, and the children have to go to school, this is all money. said that cross talk can't earn this money, what can they do, what else can they do?

Xue Guo poured another glass of wine and said to He Xiangdong: "I've known you for seven years, you had nothing at the beginning, you were a poor bastard, and now you have such a big family business as Xiangwen Society, but you are still a poor bastard, why don't you make any progress at all." ”

He Xiangdong shook his head and smiled, without refuting.

Xue Guo poured the third glass of wine and sighed: "But I really envy you, I am so envious, I also love cross talk, but I really can't do you like this, compared to you, I am not a cross talk at all." ”

Xue Guo's face was flushed with alcohol stimulation, and his eyes were drunk, but he spoke quite clearly: "To put it nicely, I am a cross talk actor, but I don't talk about cross talk at all now, I earn those two bad money in the art troupe, which is not enough for a week's food in my family, all my current income is from making TV and making movies, ho, I will be able to be an actor in two years." ”

He Xiangdong was speechless.

Xue Guo shook his head, and said angrily: "But I'm a cross talker." ”

Guo Qing also poured himself a full glass of wine, and now the most entangled thing in the cross talk industry is people like them, who are young but have a heavy burden, both old and young, they love cross talk very much, but they have no money to support their families.

He Xiangdong looked at the two of them, frowned, and said: "Don't say whether I love cross talk or not, I don't know if I love it or not, I just know that I will be very happy when I say cross talk, if you don't let me say cross talk, even if you give me millions, I can't laugh, that's it." ”

Xue Guo and Guo Qing looked up at He Xiangdong at the same time, they didn't expect He Xiangdong's answer to be so simple.

He Xiangdong said: "Mr. Li Wenhua was diagnosed with throat cancer in eight years, and the doctor said that he must not talk more, let alone go on stage to say cross talk, otherwise this disease will not be cured." But the old man still couldn't stay, he came to the stage in a few days, and then his voice was completely wasted, just because he didn't let the old man say cross talk, his whole person would be bad, he couldn't say cross talk, what was the use of him living for so long, that's it. ”

Xue Guo and Guo Qing were both stunned.

waited until the charcoal in the stove was gone, the pot was cold, Xue Guo's face recovered a lot, and the strength of the wine dissipated a lot, he said: "I'm not happy, I'm not happy when I'm filming outside, I'm not happy when I talk about cross talk in the art troupe, I'm not happy anywhere, and I'm not happy when I go home sometimes." I think the happiest thing is to go to the suburbs with you back then, and talk to the literary society together, and I am the happiest during this time. ”

"Me too. Guo Qing silently followed.

He Xiangdong comforted: "It's okay, if you like it, you often come to the strings, and I also say two." You said that you too, you have not come to the garden for two years, and you have not come to look for you, which is true. ”

Guo Qing sighed and said, "It's not that you don't come, but you don't have the face." ”

Hearing this, He Xiangdong was speechless.

Xue Guo gritted his teeth, picked up the wine bottle and poured a few big mouthfuls into his mouth, threw the wine bottle, stood up, looked at He Xiangdong with scarlet eyes, and said, "He Xiangdong, you said that you wanted to invite me to join the Xiangwen Society, but now it doesn't count?"

"Huh?" He Xiangdong was stunned.

Xue Guo slapped the table and urged loudly: "Say, it doesn't count." ”

He Xiangdong looked at Xue Guo, turned his head to look at Guo Qing, and found that he was also staring at himself with scarlet eyes.
