Chapter 21: The Debut

During the trial operation of the big world, the crowds were surging and the scene was hot, and even the bosses who had just kicked Huang Chujiu out of the new world were dumbfounded and jealous in their hearts. However, Huang Chujiu didn't have time to take into account their thoughts now, and patrolling the various performance venues had become his top priority now.

Old Shanghainese like white face, just play. In the past, the temple was a place they often visited, but later in the new world, it became a must-visit place, as if if if they didn't go to these places on weekends, they would have no face to say.

Now that the big world has opened for trial operation, both the scale and the conditions are better than the original new world, and it is human nature to like the new and hate the old, so it is obvious that the flow of people is several times more than that of the new world.

Huang Chujiu does have a way of doing business, and after spending a lot of money to build a big world, he refused his subordinates' practice of setting the ticket price very high, and directly came to a people-friendly price, and the whole ticket was only 2 dimes in the end. The low price and high quality made the people who came to Baixiang quite satisfied in the early stage, and under word of mouth, business became more and more prosperous, and there was a long queue at the door, which was in stark contrast to the few people in line in the new world next door.

After turning a few theaters, Huang Chujiu came to the circus performance venue, and at this time, what was performing on the stage was Gu Chuanbiao's flying knife stunt.

A huge wooden disc with ten circles painted was placed vertically in the center of the stage, Gu Chuanbiao waved his hand one after another five meters away, and four snow-bright flying knives pierced the center of the disc upright. The audience burst into warm applause, cheers and whistles, and the scene was very enthusiastic.

Huang Chujiu, who has seen a big scene, has a certain immunity to this kind of performance, and frowned at the moment, feeling that if it was just such a level, it was really not worth spending a lot of money to invite Gu Jiaban. Fortunately, the performance continued, and he found a comfortable position to sit down, intending to take a look before speaking, and did not jump to conclusions easily.

Wang Mengxiong, who was wearing a performance costume, was peeking at the audience and the performance outside backstage, and was unexpectedly pushed by someone. He hurriedly turned around and said with some annoyance: "Miss, why are you pushing me?" People are scary and scared to death, can you not be so sneaky? ”

"Oh, you kid, why do you speak in such an impulsive tone? Didn't you see my brother gesturing to you and telling you to hurry up and perform on stage? ”

Gu Chuanqi stretched out his hand and combed Wang Mengxiong's hair twice, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up, don't be afraid, the performance is successful, my sister will buy you sugar water to drink!" ”

"Cut, I'll be rare with that?"

Wang Mengxiong threw her a big roll of the eyes, calmed down, turned his head and walked up the steps, ran to the center of the stage, and started his debut in another world.

"Let me solemnly introduce to you that my assistant, Wang Fan, who is only seven years old, is nicknamed Wang Fan with the nickname Knife!"

Wang Fan is Wang Mengxiong's stage name, which is also an old rule in the performance industry. Originally, Gu Chuanbiao wanted to take one for him named Wang Ermao, but Wang Mengxiong categorically refused. If this is called, two hairs are long and two hairs are short every day, and those who don't know still think it's Sanmao's second brother! I remember that in later life, he watched a movie about Shanghai, in which there was a man named Xiaodao Yang Fan, both the name and kung fu were very popular, so he gave himself the nickname of Xiaodao Wang Fan, which can be regarded as a copycat, anyway, these people don't know.

It should be said that Wang Mengxiong's appearance is quite good, and he was dressed up cute by Gu Chuanqi, which made the audience laugh out loud as soon as he appeared, and he was also a little puzzled, I don't know what the flying knife performance made a child run on stage? Is it for show?

Wang Mengxiong first bowed deeply to the audience, and then walked over and took off all the flying knives on the disc and handed them to Gu Chuanbiao. Then he returned to the front of the disc and stood with his back against the center of the circle, with a charming smile on his face.

"What a lovely boy!"

"Such a young child, shouldn't he be a live target for throwing knives?"

"It's too dangerous to use a child to perform a throwing knife!"

"Stop, stop, don't hurt the child!"

The audience talked a lot, saying everything, and the kind lady who tried to rush up to stop the performance, and was quickly persuaded by the people watching the performance, explaining that this performance has been rehearsed many times, and there is no danger.

Gu Chuanbiao did not perform immediately, but took the opportunity to brag about it and help Gu Jiaban publicize and build momentum. When the audience was a little impatient and booed, they stopped talking nonsense and made a gesture to throw throwing knives, and when the audience was silent, they stopped again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and sisters, don't worry, in order to increase the excitement, I will temporarily add some ingredients to ensure that you can watch your heartbeat and enjoy watching!"

After Gu Chuanbiao finished speaking, he took out a red silk scarf from his trouser pocket, folded it into a long strip, and brought it to the front of the stage to ask an audience member to come up to check it to see if he could see the target on the opposite side after blindfolding his eyes with this thing. The audience was very serious, not only tried to wear it themselves, but also folded it again to make the transparency of the silk scarf more blurred, and personally tied it tightly on Gu Chuanbiao's head.

Gu Chuanbiao grabbed two flying knives with both hands, turned his back to Wang Mengxiong, and asked loudly, "Knife Wang Fan, are you ready?" ”

This question has a famous name, called stereotyping, that is, to determine Wang Mengxiong's position by speaking, and verify the distance from the stage, so as to determine the landing point of the flying knife.

Wang Mengxiong is also performing on stage for the first time, for fear that if this class master misses, he will not be able to tie his body into a sieve! In order to give the other party a position signal, he replied loudly: "Okay, yes, but you have to be on time, class master, my little life can be held in the palm of your hand!" ”

When the audience laughed, Gu Chuanbiao shouted, so that the audience's attention was focused on himself, and then he turned around, raised his hand continuously, and four flying knives shot out like lightning, and the sound of snatching and grabbing was endless. After the audience was frightened, they hurriedly looked, but saw that the four flying knives had already been inserted around Wang Mengxiong's head, and the nearest one was only a few centimeters away from his ear, and the process was quite dangerous.

The audience erupted in warm applause and cheered for Gu Chuanbiao's wonderful performance. After all, it is not too much to describe it as a miracle skill to have such an accurate head blindfolded. Although Wang Mengxiong had a smile on his face, he followed Gu Chuanbiao and kept waving his hand to greet the audience, but he scolded in his heart.

The flying knife that was rubbing his ears just now was already about two to three centimeters away from the landing point that Gu Chuanbiao had booked. If Wang Mengxiong's heart was not throbbing just now, and he reflexively moved to the right, this flying knife might have pierced his ear!

Huang Chujiu nodded with satisfaction, and then stood up and applauded with the others. While clapping, he said to the manager next to him: "With this hand, this Gu family class is not in vain." When they are over, you can help me make an appointment with Boss Gu, and I will set up wine in the banquet building tonight, pick up the dust for him and his Gu family class, and celebrate their successful debut in the big world! ”

"Yes, I'll tell him as soon as he steps down!"
