Chapter 203: Storytelling
Seeing that Su Wen looked relieved, Bai Wei immediately threw a sympathetic look at her. She knows this feeling deeply, and deeply understands how difficult it is for children to deal with.
Seeing the eye contact between the two girls, the two teenagers present couldn't help but glance at each other. Although they have been watching, they have a deep understanding of how difficult children can be. They silently made a wish in their hearts that they must stay away from children in the future, so as not to be a headache.
As for who will take the children, it goes without saying, of course, there are patient girls. Anyway, they are usually more leisurely, and they should play with children.
After a while, Bai Xiaoshi and Wu Xi finally finished destroying the dim sum in front of them. As soon as they put down the spoon, they immediately asked to go downstairs to listen to the story, and they didn't even think to clean up the residue on their mouths. Looking at their eager appearances, it seems that they are indeed looking forward to it.
wiped the residue from the corners of their mouths with a handkerchief, and Su Wen and Bai Wei took them downstairs together. As for the other two teenagers present, they took the opportunity to stay upstairs.
When the two of them arrived on the first floor with their two children, the floor was already full. In desperation, the two children had to be arranged not far from the stage. I thought the two would be unhappy, but I didn't expect it to coincide with their minds to be closer to the stage.
In the eyes of the two children, since they are here to listen to the story, of course, the closer the better. Although it is more comfortable to sit far away, the corresponding story is not clear.
Seeing that there was no problem on the two of them, Su Wen was naturally even more fine. Before she sent Bai Xiaoshi to the temporarily added seat, she also specially asked Bai Wei's opinion. This is the little son of the Bai family, in case Bai Wei feels that sitting there is an obstacle to her brother's reputation, then everything must be stifled in the cradle.
After listening to Su Wen's inquiry, Bai Wei showed a look of indifference, and replied with a smile: "Where do children have so many scruples when they listen to a story?" Since he likes it. You can send him and Xiao Shu over together. ”
It didn't take long for a middle-aged storyteller to walk onto the small stage on the first floor. The first time he appeared, everyone's attention was attracted by him. has been talking about books in Yunzhou City for many years, and he naturally has a loyal fan. Among the guests on the ground floor. There are really a lot of people who have heard him write.
Looking at the storyteller on the stage, Bai Xiaoshi turned his head and said to Wu Xi with a disappointed face: "It turned out to be Mr. Qian, I heard him tell the story before, and I just turned over and over those sets, so I don't have to worry." ”
Hearing him say this, Wu Xi immediately turned his head and replied with a smile: "That's right, but my cousin said that this time it's a new story." My cousin has never lied to me, and she certainly won't be this time. We'll hear it later, and he'll probably tell a story he's never told before. ”
Listening to her suggestion, Bai Xiaoshi immediately nodded and said, "Hmm." You have a point. We're all here anyway, so we might as well hear it. Although he used to tell old stories, a few of them were still good. ”
While the two were discussing, Mr. Storyteller had already struck the wake-up wood. To be honest, he seems to be calm on the surface. But I was very nervous. He has been talking about books for so many years, and this one is the most intense. Fortunately, with rich experience in storytelling, he was able to suppress his nervousness and reveal a calm and calm appearance.
As a storyteller, Mr. Qian has been experienced for more than 30 years. He has been telling stories since he was eleven or twelve years old, and now he is in his forties, and he has a lot of experience.
While accumulating a wealth of experience. Mr. Qian encountered an artistic bottleneck. As Bai Xiaoshi said, he flipped through a total of several sets of books. No matter how good a book is, if you listen to it over and over again for decades, no matter who you are, you will get bored. The audience wants to be new and changeable, but what he lacks the most is the ability to compile new picture books.
As a result, Mr. Chin's popularity began to decline. Those backs that can tell new stories are gradually emerging. And there was a tendency to leave him behind. To be honest, the stories told in the back may not be as new as they are, most of them just add some new episodes, and some even rely on yellow jokes to attract customers.
For the former, Mr. Qian is acceptable. After all, they are innovating. Although the scope is limited, it is a useful attempt. On the contrary, in the face of the latter, he could not accept it, feeling that they were corrupting the rules of storytelling.
Storytellers like them mostly sit in teahouses. Although the teahouse is a place where the three religions and nine streams gather, there are still some women and children after all. In this way, the stories they tell have a bottom line, and there is absolutely no content that is inappropriate for women and children. The problem is that those who tell pornographic jokes have left this bottom line behind them early.
In the face of such an atmosphere, Mr. Qian was naturally heartbroken. It's a pity that he has no culture, and the few sets of books he knows are all heard from his master, and he is really powerless to innovate.
Maybe Mr. Qian has a good character, and then finally waited for the time to run. When he was struggling to write a new story, Su Wen found him. The two of them only had a discussion before finalizing the cooperation. I have to say that this may be the fate of God.
On this side, Mr. Qian has the ability to tell a story, but he does not have a good book. On the other hand, Su Wen has good ideas, but unfortunately he doesn't have the time to tell stories.
The first time she met Mr. Qian, Su Wen put forward her conditions straight to the point. She is responsible for providing script ideas, and Mr. Qian is responsible for post-processing. She can license all the stories to Mr. Qian for free, but only in the store she designates.
Of course, Su Wen put forward such a condition, which is equivalent to blocking Mr. Qian's financial route. In return, she promised him a handsome commission, a figure that would be admired by all the storytellers in Yunzhou City.
Faced with such favorable conditions, Mr. Qian hesitated for a moment and agreed. Anyway, he has encountered a bottleneck now, and instead of hanging half-dead like now, it is better to listen to Su Wen and fight hard. He was confident that as long as he had good books, he would be able to tell good books and trample those crooked ways under his feet.
A contract was signed with Mr. Qian, and Su Wen paid a large deposit on the spot. In addition, she also directly informed the plot of the gourd baby. As soon as these two tricks came out, Mr. Qian made up his mind to cooperate with Suwen.
The moment the waking wood rang, these past events flashed before his eyes. As soon as he thought about the story he was going to tell, the tension in his heart suddenly disappeared. It was a brand new story that he had never heard of before. He spent more than a month of painstaking efforts to process, and I believe that this time it will be an instant hit.
When the waking wood fell, Mr. Qian began to tell the story of the gourd baby. His voice seemed to have magical power, and all of a sudden it brought everyone present closer to a mythical world where good and evil were in conflict.
Although he and Bai Wei stood in the corner of the first floor together, Su Wen's heart had been brought into the world of gourd babies by Mr. Qian. She knew the follow-up development of this story, but she still couldn't help but want to listen to it all the time. She has to admit that although she can also tell stories, she is not able to handle it compared to a professional master like Mr. Qian.
With the participation of Su Wen, Mr. Qian's story is naturally different. On the table in front of him was a bunch of figure paintings, and whenever a certain character was mentioned, the image of that figure would appear in Mr. Qian's hands.
Looking at the vivid characters on the scroll, the eyes of the listeners present brightened one by one. They used to listen to books and think about them, but now they have character drawings in front of them, and the characters in the story have become more vivid. When they closed their eyes, they seemed to be able to see the figures on the scroll move and start fighting each other.
Hearing the highlights, everyone in the audience couldn't help but applaud. They have been completely immersed in the ups and downs of the story, and all the joys, sorrows and sorrows are all in the hands of Mr. Qian.
Of all the people, the children are the most excited. They themselves are at the age of fantasy, and what they like to hear most is this kind of story about the triumph of good over evil. Especially in this story, the protagonists are still the gourd brothers who are about the same age as them. In this way, they listen more energetically.
When it was said that a certain gourd brother was hit by a snake spirit spell, Mr. Qian's waking wood suddenly slammed violently. At this critical moment, his end time for the day has arrived.
Smiling at the unfinished crowd in the audience, Mr. Qian said with a face like a spring breeze: "I know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition." The story of the gourd baby, let's talk about it here today. If you want to know what will happen next, we will see you here tomorrow. ”
Seeing that the story came to an abrupt end here, the audience opened their mouths to ask about the follow-up plot. When they are hearing the most thrilling moments, they are naturally curious about how the next development will be.
Faced with the questions of everyone in the audience, Mr. Qian just smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. He cleaned up the utensils on the table, walked off the small stage by himself, and walked straight into the sweet backyard. He just walked away neatly, and everyone didn't come back to their senses for a while, and they were stunned on the spot.
After a while, the silence was suddenly broken by the crying of a child. He kept clamoring to listen to the story, which made the adults around him at a loss.
As this cry sounded, the silence in the room was finally broken. As soon as everyone came back to their senses, they talked about this new book called "Gourd Baby". There is no doubt that after this day is over, Mr. Qian's "Gourd Baby" will definitely cause a new round of sensation in Yunzhou City.
