When Lu Zuixian heard this, he felt that what he said was reasonable, and immediately invited the channel sisters to come to the house as guests. Qian Xunzhi said again, "You are already the first person in this industry vaguely, but this only means that you are artistic." Now that you have your back to the big tree of Mr. Weilei, not to mention Ding Mocun in Shencheng, even Du Yuesheng will let you score three points, why not take this opportunity to become the real head of the female bullet words, and organize them around you, which is also a big force. In case of trouble, multiple people always have more than one effort. ”

"Hey, Mr. Qian, are you asking me to organize a women's lyric union? You can be from Guangyu Society, this was heard by the old turtles in Suzhou, and they wanted to fire you. ”

In its heyday at the end of the Qing Dynasty, its sphere of influence touched the entire Wu-speaking area, and everywhere it went, it colluded with the local government and ordered women to be banned from taking the stage. After several wars, the power of Guangyu Society is not as good as before, for example, Shanghai has begun to have sporadic female bullet words on stage, but the jurisdiction of Suzhou Prefecture is still a male world.

In the face of Lu Zuixian's joke, Qian Xunzhi smiled "The sky is high and the emperor is far away", but he said in his heart, "As long as you organize such a female general, I will have a way to make the old stubborn of Guangyu Society bow his head." ”

The drunken fairy here is still beautiful, but Qian Xunzhi is in trouble. He, a lyric artist from other cities, is not familiar with life in Shanghai, so he can only wait for the book to come to the book. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning, the tea ceremony is always chartered on the second floor of the "Laiyi Building" on the Nicheng Bridge.

The so-called tea ceremony is a unique form of member gathering of Guangyu Society: meet with the teahouse, storyteller, and bookstore owner at the appointed time, and talk about each other's business during tea and chat. The business level of the lyricist artists is uneven, and the interpersonal skills are also different, most of which are innate, and the acquired efforts can be improved but cannot be changed.

With their existence, artists and bookstore owners feel a lot of effortless, and there is no need to talk about the schedule one by one, and the Chinese people also rely on back-and-forth matchmaking to make money to support their families.

However, because he is also a storyteller, he often doesn't bother to find others, and he uses this excuse to go on stage and talk about power for a few days.

At this time, Shencheng has become an important town beyond Suzhou, and the second floor of the "Laiyi Building" is always full of friends every 135, full of Su Bai. There are more than 100 bookstores in Shencheng, and there are many and rich listeners, which naturally attract lyric artists.

Lu Zuixian is such a loud file, there is no need to go out of the tea ceremony at all, and the bookstore owner and radio station boss are waiting in a long line to sign the contract. And the Qian father and son are more embarrassed to play a small role from outside, looking at the huge teahouse without a familiar face, they are cheeky to recommend themselves to the bookstore owner or the Chinese Mao Sui, usually just get a sentence "Mr. is extraordinary, the trumpet/villain has written it down, if there is a suitable schedule, please make an appointment." "But when I go back and find a familiar artist to sign a performance contract, it's reasonable.

Right now, Qian Xunzhi was drinking the tea in front of him, which had no tea flavor at all, and watching people come and go, his heart was also a little empty. I have been in Shanghai for more than a week, and the bookstore has not yet landed, yesterday He Ruoxi quietly went to explore Qian Dingzhang's mouth, and between the words, he asked Lu Zuixian to come forward to introduce them to the Cangzhou bookstore, and try the book for three days. Cangzhou Bookstore is almost the most upscale bookstore in Shanghai, and those who can enter the book are all top artists. It is also a logical thing to sign a performance contract with the bookstore, as long as you have this contract to protect yourself, then when you appear in the "Laiyi Building", the Chinese and other bookstore owners will naturally surround you like flies.

But this good thing was naturally rejected by Qian Xunzhi, if you really want to borrow it in Shengze at that time, why wait until today?

Just as he was in trouble, a voice sounded in his ears: "This gentleman, is he waiting for the book?" ”

Qian Xunzhi looked up and saw that the speaker was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a gray-brown top hat, but he was wearing a striped suit, but the suit was wide and didn't fit, and there were many wrinkles on the back of the placket. In this teahouse full of robes and horse coats, it looks particularly eye-catching.

"I, Qian Xunzhi, am indeed waiting for a meal here" Qian Xunzhi stood up and arched his hand at him.

After the man returned the salute, he took out a business card and handed it over, Qian Xunzhi took it and looked at it, which was printed with "Associate Director of the Great World Bullet Word Commentary Department - Zhao Afu". Hurriedly said, "It turned out to be Assistant Zhao who looked up for a long time."

Zhao Afu laughed, "Brother is polite, are you interested in singing in the big world?" The contract is signed every two months, and the singing is 6 days a week, and the singing is guaranteed to be 4 hours a day. You have 25 yuan a month for two grades, but you only get 20. How is it? ”

Seeing that Qian Xunzhi was still hesitating, Zhao Afu leaned up and said, "To be honest, I've been paying attention to you for a few days, and I see that your brother is not a tricky person, you might as well tell the truth, there is a tea ceremony here, and you people from other places who come to play the dock, no one paid attention to it at first, let alone wait for a week, and it is common for no one to make an appointment for a month or two." If you don't believe it, you'll know later. If you really sing well, then you might as well come to the big world to sing for a few months, on the one hand, to earn a little more, and on the other hand, to make a name for yourself. How do you say in the jargon that "the dock business lays the foundation, and Suzhou will write for the brand", and then there is a month is the day of Suzhou Huishu, see that you are also going to Suzhou when the year of the fight, when you arrive at the book, you were asked where to sing, you said to drink the northwest wind at home, and you lost three points on the momentum before you compared. The big world, good or bad is a brand, and Yalu, Cangzhou, and the East are not comparable, but at least it is a regular bookstore, what do you say? ”

Qian Xunzhi looked at his son, and he was still thinking about it, Zhao Afu said again, "Anyway, the contract will be signed every two months, and you will feel bad at that time, if you don't renew it, in the end, I will just look at the five yuan in the draw, and the one who was originally scheduled to suddenly become seriously ill can't come." That's why I came out to find a replacement, you have a bookstore to settle into, and I'll make some extra money, right"

"That's good" Qian Xunzhi feels that it is not a matter to wait any longer, and the artist's long-term absence from the stage will have a great impact on his psychology and artistic attainments, so it is better to find a bookstore to sing than to wait.

Zhao Afu was also happy, after taking the contract in his arms, he took out 20 yuan and handed it over, "This is the first month's silver, tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, I will take you to get familiar with it, and start singing at nine o'clock." ”。

"Then it's troublesome for Assistant Zhao," Qian Xunzhi thanked him.
