Chapter 777: Demolition of the West Chamber
The team of the national tour is naturally the actors of Xiangwen Society, but since the two small theaters of Xiangwen Society still have daily performances, it is impossible for these actors to follow He Xiangdong to complete all the performances, and they must also go batch after batch.
So in terms of actor arrangement, He Xiangdong also put a lot of thought into it.
CCTV's third cross talk contest is about to start recording, which is probably what it will look like in July and August, and this time also happens to be the time for He Xiangdong to conduct a national tour.
Therefore, the performances of Chen Jun and Lao San, as well as Gu Baimo and Li Quanjiang, need to be compressed, and they must first take care of the recording of the cross talk competition.
These things should be taken into account in any direction.
There is another person in Xiangwen Society who has also entered He Xiangdong's consideration, and that is Gao Ganglong.
Gao Ganglong is one of He Xiangdong's first batch of apprentices, the first batch of apprentices was accepted by He Xiangdong before 05, and the apprentices after 05 are now learning art in Fang Wenqi's cross talk studio, which belongs to sitting science and art.
These apprentices who sit on science and art, He Xiangdong also gave them the typesetting according to the rules of Fu Liancheng, Zhang Wenhai said eight words "Nanshan Yu Fei, Four Seas Longteng", and these words will be put into their stage names at that time.
And He Xiangdong's first batch of apprentices did not enter the workshop, so they naturally would not get these words, in fact, the first batch of apprentices with a stage name is Gao Ganglong alone, He Xiangdong felt that his name was too unpleasant, so he gave him the stage name "Gao Youcheng", hoping that he would achieve something.
But alas, this kid hasn't opened up yet. After failing to play last time, more than a year has passed now, and He Xiangdong was stunned that he didn't let him play a second time.
Gao Ganglong came quite early, he already came in 03, and it has been three years now, according to the rules of the cross talk industry, three years of learning and two years of service, Gao Ganglong has come to the time of the teacher.
But he can't even play, Chen Bo, who came with him, is now a very mature actor, and now he basically performs in the small theater every day.
The two brothers, Xiaolong and Xiaohu, who came later than him, can now also talk cross talk on the stage, and they can also talk a lot, and they are also exercising in the small theater now.
Even the apprentices in the later study club have been on the stage, and an apprentice like Li Geng, who originally had a foundation, has already said a lot of performances in the small theater now.
Tao Fangbai also followed He Xiangdong to Peking University to talk about it, and other apprentices in the study club also had cross talk, and the most unfortunate ones could also sing an allegro, sing a Taiping lyrics, or a tongue twister.
All the twenty or so apprentices in the workshop have been on the stage, and there have been no problems with their first performance.
On the other hand, Gao Ganglong has been here for three years, and now he doesn't talk about cross talk, even if he is asked to sing whatever he wants, he can't come, he is already too far behind his brothers.
Chen Jun also told He Xiangdong several times that Gao Ganglong was not suitable for this job at all, and reluctantly staying in Xiangwen Society would also delay the future of others, so let him go.
Other actors in the Xiangwen Club also told He Xiangdong about this matter, and it was really Gao Ganglong who was too unsuccessful.
He Xiangdong has never agreed, he will never drive his apprentice out, even if he is no longer successful, He Xiangdong is willing to support him for a lifetime.
Master and apprentice are like father and son, this is not something that is said casually. He Xiangdong is a very traditional artist, and he really takes these words to heart.
If the son is no longer capable, will the father abandon him?
Impossible.
He Xiangdong has been talking about cross talk for decades, and he was willing to accept Gao Ganglong as an apprentice, just because he saw that this child had the strength to talk about cross talk.
It's just that this person hasn't opened his mind yet, cross talk artists need to be enlightened, He Xiangdong has been enlightened since the day he was born, he was born to do this. Gao Ganglong is now in his twenties, and he hasn't opened his mind, and even He Xiangdong doesn't know when he will open his mind, and he doesn't know if he will open his mind.
He Xiangdong is not sure whether Gao Ganglong can really become a qualified cross talk actor, nor is he sure whether this person can point to cross talk for dinner, he has no bottom in his heart, but he is still willing to maintain such a master-apprentice friendship with father and son.
When Gao Gang Longhuo, who had opened his mind in the future, didn't even know his own mother, He Xiangdong had a different state of mind. In fact, even he himself never thought that Gao Ganglong would have such an achievement, but he was glad that he had looked away.
Now, He Xiangdong feels the need to let Gao Ganglong play again, he still wants to take Gao Ganglong to run a national performance, although this kid can't go on the stage to say cross talk, but let him watch it, this is also a rare opportunity for him.
Before officially starting the national tour, He Xiangdong had to let him stand on the stage, if he failed this time, then He Xiangdong would not have to take him on any more tours, because this kid may not dare to play again in his life.
He Xiangdong came to the cross talk workshop with a little heavy heart, and Gao Ganglong now not only helps in the small theater, but he will also come to the workshop to study with his junior disciples.
When he first arranged for him to come over, He Xiangdong was still a little worried about whether this kid would have unbearable self-esteem, after all, he was his first batch of apprentices, and he was the senior brother of these apprentices, and the other senior brothers didn't come to learn art, so he came alone to learn with them.
He Xiangdong knew that Gao Ganglong was a very sensitive person, and he was afraid that his self-esteem would not be able to stand it, but to He Xiangdong's surprise, this kid didn't have any other ideas, so he came over directly, and now he came over to learn art with everyone whenever he had time, and he didn't need He Xiangdong to urge him. In the workshop, he studied very seriously, and he didn't feel embarrassed.
He Xiangdong knew that this child was really down-to-earth, which was also the biggest reason why He Xiangdong wanted to give him another chance.
"Go, call me Gao Ganglong. He Xiangdong casually instructed a junior apprentice to call someone.
Soon, Gao Ganglong trotted over, Gao Ganglong has also gained a lot of weight in the past two years, and his face is also very fleshy, and his face is very round: "Master, you are looking for me." ”
He Xiangdong sat on the chair and pointed to the chair next to him for Gao Ganglong to sit down.
Gao Ganglong did as he was said and looked at He Xiangdong.
He Xiangdong said to him: "Xiao Gao, are you familiar with the Allegro book?"
Gao Ganglong replied: "I don't dare to say that I am familiar, anyway, I think this art is very deep, the more I sing, the more I feel that I can't sing, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and I also need to study it." ”
He Xiangdong nodded, and asked again: "Now that your senior brothers have all been on the stage, you haven't yet, are you in a hurry?"
Gao Ganglong was silent, and he couldn't tell what the smell was in his little eyes, so he lowered his eyes quietly: "I listen to Master." ”
He Xiangdong looked at him for a while before he said, "Let you go and sing an opening tomorrow night, do you dare to go?"
Gao Ganglong came with a bamboo board, he held the bamboo board tightly in his right hand, nodded his head, and said, "Okay." ”
He Xiangdong asked, "Which section do you want to sing?"
Gao Ganglong raised his head, turned his head, looked at He Xiangdong's eyes, and said, "Demolish the West Chamber." ”
He Xiangdong looked at Gao Ganglong and smiled.
