The person who came was Xue Guo, he came to send an invitation to Fan Wenquan, when he heard his name called, Xue Guo looked back and saw that it was actually an acquaintance, he was surprised: "He Xiangdong?"

I hadn't seen him for months, Xue Guo was whiter and fatter, He Xiangdong asked, "What are you doing here?"

Xue Guo said: "I'll send an invitation to my uncle?"

He Xiangdong asked, "Mr. Fan is your uncle?"

At this time, Fan Wenquan also came out of the house, and he said to He Xiangdong: "This is also my nephew, Lao Shi's apprentice, and now he is talking about cross talk in the Railway Art Troupe, you also know him?"

He Xiangdong said: "I've seen it once." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Oh, okay, you young talk. With that, Fan Wenquan went back to the house.

He Xiangdong led Xue Guo to the garden, and found two seats on the sofa chairs in the first row and sat down.

He Xiangdong said: "I'm talking about cross talk here." ”

"Speaking of cross talk?" Xue Guo recalled a little and asked: "I heard my master say that my Uncle Fan and Mr. Zhang have made a cross talk garden here, it seems that there are only three people talking about cross talk, and there is a young man, that young man can't be you, right?"

He Xiangdong smiled: "I also want to have someone else, but unfortunately I don't." ”

Xue Guo was really a little surprised this time: "You said last time that you were talking to people in a class, but this time you made a garden by yourself, you can do it enough." ”

He Xiangdong waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "What's the big thing, it's just encouragement to make a living." ”

Xue Guo looked at the theater again and said: "Actually, this is not bad, it is good to be able to do a good job of hundreds of people, it is good to earn more and less, and it is also free, no one interferes no matter how you say it." ”

He Xiangdong said: "It's not as good as you think, no one listens to cross talk, and we're all starving to death if it's ugly." ”

Xue Guo's face also became a little heavier, and said: "It's a fact that cross talk is sluggish now, and we don't want to mix, it's not easy to mix people who talk about cross talk, it would be strange if you came here like a cloud." ”

He Xiangdong smiled and didn't argue too much, he knew that if he went to a small city to talk about cross talk, he could earn his living expenses, and the cost of making his own garden was too big, and he couldn't make ends meet, but he really didn't want to give up all this, and he didn't want to leave Beijing in disgrace. He is a true love for cross talk, and it is hard to have a place where he can talk about cross talk purely, and he is really reluctant to go like this.

He sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you, the situation is really bad now, so I have to think about getting some money, otherwise I won't be able to pay the rental money." ”

Hearing this, Xue Guo took another puff of cigarette silently and said, "I have a job here, I don't know if you want to." ”

He Xiangdong asked, "What kind of work?"

Xue Guo said: "Next week, there is a literary performance of a worker in a garment factory in Tongxian County, the boss is very generous, and invited a lot of actors to perform, this is all about running holes to make money, and there are also people who talk about cross talk, saying two programs, give 600 yuan, let's go for 300 yuan, will you go?"

He Xiangdong asked, "I'll go, what about your partner?"

Xue Guo said with a smile: "I don't have a fixed partner, and besides, those friends in my group have their own affairs, and they don't necessarily have time." Last time, we talked about it together, and I thought it was good, do you want to be together this time?"

He Xiangdong gritted his teeth and said, "No problem, just run the acupoint, don't say it." ”

Xue Guo also smiled: "Then let's just say it." ”

"No problem. ”

……

After Xue Guo left, He Xiangdong returned to the backstage with some worry, and it happened that Fan Wenquan and Zhang Wenhai were also there, He Xiangdong found a chair and sat down, and said seriously: "I don't think we can wait like this anymore, there is no audience, we have to starve to death." ”

Hearing the serious words, the two old men who originally had some hippie smiling faces also became serious, and Fan Wenquan asked, "Dongzi, what are you going to do?"

He Xiangdong said: "We have to find a way to get more audiences to listen to cross talk, there are only three or five of them a day, and we can't live this day." ”

Fan Wenquan nodded and said, "It makes sense, this is the first time to make a garden, we don't understand, we have only done business here." ”

Fan Wenquan and He Xiangdong looked at Zhang Wenhai, who had made a lot of money in the eighties, at the same time.

Zhang Wenhai looked at the two of them with anticipating faces, helped his eyes and said, "Where do I have a move, if I have a move, I won't say it earlier." ”

He Xiangdong said: "Then how did you earn all that money in the eighties?"

Zhang Wenhai said of course: "This is very simple, just go to Shenzhen and bring some electronic watches, jeans and the like, and then go to various suburbs and rural areas to sell them, this is the same as picking up for nothing."

He Xiangdong was stunned: "It's as simple as that?"

Zhang Wenhai asked rhetorically: "Then how complicated do you think?"

He Xiangdong asked, "Why didn't you do such a good business later?"

Zhang Wenhai rolled his eyes and said, "In vain, you are quite a clever person, isn't this a matter of these things everywhere later, how can there be a price difference to make money, won't I change my career." ”

He Xiangdong was also convinced: "This is how you have earned your business." ”

Zhang Wenhai said: "That's it, others don't dare I dare, so I sent it." ”

"Alas...... You can. He Xiangdong admired.

Fan Wenquan didn't know where to find a cigarette to smoke, his addiction to smoking had risen recently, he lit it, and said: "Actually, if you want to talk about the cross talk garden, you are still Dongzi, you are an expert, you have been performing outside for so many years, you should have experience." ”

He Xiangdong said helplessly: "I don't have any experience, I always perform with the master and others, and the garden has a manager who is responsible for it, and I don't have the mind to do business, so I really don't have any good ideas." ”

Fan Wenquan thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Eh, weren't you very good in Lin Zhengjun's garden before, didn't they live happily at that time, and then they were also very prosperous, we can learn from this experience." ”

He Xiangdong said: "At that time, it was Uncle Lin who went door-to-door to say that it was the people who begged, so they were willing to come, and then they were attracted by our cross talk, and they had repeat customers and reputation, and it slowly spread out, and the audience slowly increased." ”

"But we can't do it here, at that time they were all neighbors, and the feelings were there. We are not familiar with this area, who to tell to go, no one will let you in. Besides, cross talk was still very hot in the 80s, but now it's not good, I don't think it's going to be a grand occasion at that time. ”

Zhang Wenhai was also a little impatient, and said: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so how can we get it, we can't go to the ground, right?"

"Abandon the ground?" He Xiangdong pondered these two words, thoughtful.
