The rain fell from the corners of the eaves, and the wind traveled through the windows.

On such a day, it was suitable to lean on the building and listen to the wind, enjoy the rain in the pool, leave three points of light smile between the eyebrows, and hide seven points of cold arrogance under the eyes.

The bustling market was closed as a matter of course, and the drizzle and light smoke remained in the bottom of my heart.

is so peaceful, even if no one cares, you don't feel lonely.

Wei Renshi leaned on the railing, looking at the passers-by who were hurrying in the rain, accompanied by the sound of rain, and his heart was calm for no reason.

The singing and dancing on the stage in the building don't seem to be in your ears, and the movement of the busy table and stools below is also unnoticed.

Standing on a high place and looking down, Wei Renshi inexplicably had a strange feeling, feeling like a player in the game, and all the beings below were virtual characters.

Shaking his head, he shook the absurd idea out of his head.

Sun Peng came up, saluted, and asked, "After the performance is over, Lang Jun is still satisfied?" ”

Wei Renshi nodded, and asked again, "How much is the price?" ”

"She has a dozen or so women under her command, and if she sends two people every day to sing ten songs, she will have to pay her three hundred yuan a month." Sun Peng said: "But she is a person who has a teaching workshop, and the women under her command practice well, so it is more expensive." In the past, the family sent four people a day to sing ten songs, and it only cost 200 yuan a month. In fact, it's better to buy two people directly from her, and we will raise them ourselves. Although it is more expensive at the moment, in the long run, the cost is still less. And if you buy back the deed, it belongs to our dream building, and it is more consistent with our restaurant. However, there is also an advantage to hiring people on a monthly basis, that is, the people sent are not fixed, so it will not be annoying. ”

Although he knew that this era was like this, Wei Renshi was still surprised when he heard that people were treated like goods.

"Buy, buy...... How much does it cost? Wei Renshi frowned and asked.

Sun Peng hurriedly replied: "Then don't wait." Naturally, the better the more expensive. But these are all private prostitutes, and if you really ask them for the best ones, they don't have them. It's about the same, you can buy one for a few thousand. Although it sounds a little expensive, once you buy it back, it will be the people of our dream building, whether it is five, seven, ten or eight years, they are all the singers in our building. ”

There is actually a difference between a prostitute and a prostitute. The former is often versatile and talented, and at first most of them are selling their art but not their bodies, and later they either meet the person they love, or they start selling themselves when they are older, or they are ransomed and taken as concubines. And the latter was sold directly from the beginning.

The official prostitutes in the government-run workshops are often more versatile and of much higher quality than the unlicensed prostitutes.

Wei Renshi thought for a while, and then asked, "What do you see?" ”

"I think we'll buy it, but we don't buy too much, just buy a good one first." Sun Peng said: "I went to other restaurants and restaurants in the past few days, and I realized that these singers who sing songs are also very important. In the Drunken Immortal Pavilion in the North City, a singer was raised, and she said that she sang very beautifully. The people who went to listen to her singing every day brought a lot of revenue to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. So the little one thinks, it's better to buy more than to buy fine, maybe the singing is good enough, and it can also attract people. ”

Wei Renshi laughed: "You are trying your best to pull people from us." But it reminded me. On this small platform, there is actually a lot to be done. Singing and listening to operas, commenting on stories and cross talk, these are very attractive. ”

After thinking about it, Wei Renshi said again: "In this case, you can watch it." The posture doesn't have to be too good, but it must be good enough to sing. We haven't opened yet, we have no revenue, and we have limited resources at hand, so I still got it from the Jiao family. Therefore, the maximum cannot be higher than 3,000 guan. Just within this range, pick the best one to sing. ”

"Okay." Sun Peng nodded.

Sun Peng's words gave Wei Renshi a wake-up call. Singing and dancing are certainly pleasing to the eye, but storytelling and cross talk can also capture people's hearts.

Especially in this day and age, entertainment activities are still very simple in terms of form and content. If you can bring the form of storytelling and cross talk in later generations, and perform those famous storytelling and cross talk, you should have good results.

It's just that Wei Renshi doesn't know how to do it.

You can say a few words about storytelling and cross talk, but those are amateurs, and they can't be amateurs. I only learned a few sentences in the music club in college, and I performed it a few times at the university's party. Later, after work, there was an old teacher in the school who liked to comment on books, and he learned a few more times. As for cross talk, there is no level at all.

So you can try this storytelling first, as for cross talk, it's better to practice it secretly at the bottom.

Commenting on the story - remember that the Tang Dynasty should be called talking?

The speaker leans on a mouth, mainly to say some Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures outside Taoist temples and Buddhist temples, and occasionally interspersed with some legendary stories and so on.

These people already have a foundation, and if they are combined with the commentaries of the later generations they have seen, and the classic stories brought from the later generations, they should achieve good results.

It's just that I really don't know where these people came from. When Wei Renshi went to the Dahong Taoist Temple, he didn't see anyone preaching.

If you want to find those people who are capable people of three religions and nine streams, who is the most effective?

Among the people Wei Renshi knows now, he can only go to Zhang Gan for help.

On the same day, Wei Renshi brought some gifts and went to Zhang Gan's residence in person.

"Hahahaha, the spirits sent by Brother Wei a few days ago were really timely, and something was finally done!" Zhang Gan walked out from behind, and Wei Renshi, who was sitting and waiting in the court, said with a smile.

Wei Renshi smiled: "I can help." The younger brother came today to tell Brother Zhang that the younger brother's Dream Building will open in four days, and by the way, I have to ask Brother Zhang for a favor. ”

"Haha, Brother Wei is also a straight gut." Zhang Gan laughed: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Wei Renshi smiled: "The little brother came here today to ask Brother Zhang to help the little brother find some people who make a living by talking." The younger brother thought of some good stories, and wanted to have someone dictate them in the little brother's tavern, and tell the story to the guests. I don't know if Brother Zhang knows about such people? ”

Zhang Gan listened to Wei Renshi's words, laughed, and said, "I see. It's simple. In Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries, some people make a living by explaining Taoist Buddhist scriptures in public, explaining scriptures for believers, and dictating stories about immortals or Buddhas, which is called 'speaking'. The people who 'speak' are holding scripts, and most of them are strange stories of persuasion in Taoism and Buddhism, and they are told to everyone to know. Brother Wei said, it should be these people. ”

Wei Renshi was overjoyed and nodded: "It's these people!" I went around the Dahong Taoist Temple, but I didn't find these people. ”

"These people don't usually talk there, Brother Wei didn't find the right place." Zhang Gan smiled and said to Wei Renshi: "In this case, this matter will be replaced by Brother Wei." Brother Wei was relieved to go back and wait, and within three days, he found all these people and sent someone to bring them over. How many people do Brother Wei want? ”

"Thank you so much Brother Zhang!" Wei Renshi got up and thanked him, saying, "One or two will do!" ”
