Chapter Fifty-Six: Singing the Great World? Difficult!

During this period, there is another thing worth mentioning, after arriving in Shencheng, Qian Dingzhang had to buy newspapers every day to read, and finally the "Declaration" completely published the news about the "226 Incident" and the relevant comments on the distribution.

Looking at the course of events and the list of casualties that were almost the same as in his previous life, Qian Dingzhang felt sad in his heart, "What should come will come eventually." The devil's war machine is only afraid that it will be officially launched. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but slip to the head of the dead ghost Kawamoto, "Damn, Oriental radish head, let's die, I feel like I'm still laying a bunch of mines for Lao Tzu, the kind that is easy to step on if you're not careful, on the surface, you look at a flat river, but every time you get down, you're always scared." ”

"Daddy, isn't there a way to keep singing like this?" After singing in the big world for three days, Qian Dingzhang couldn't help but complain to Lao Tzu.

"Indeed, if this continues, calligraphy will regress" Qian Xunzhi walked slowly, responding to his son in his mouth.

On the first day of reporting to the big world, Qian Dingzhang was quite excited, after the big world entered the 90s of the 20th century, due to the development of science and technology and the closer and closer cultural exchanges with foreign countries, the passenger flow continued to decrease, and finally closed the door one day in the early 90s to adjust, this adjustment is a full 20 years. When Qian Dingzhang was a child, he was often taken by his parents and grandparents to play, especially those haha mirrors that made his young self laugh non-stop. At this time, when I saw the great world in its heyday, my heart couldn't help but surge.

The Great World was originally a large-scale public playground built by Huang Chujiu, who ranked first among the famous three and a half "slippery heads" in Shencheng.

The main body is a five-story tall building, surrounded by a central garden, with more than a dozen small and medium-sized theaters, as well as a huge "Republic Hall" theater. Every day, a variety of opera performances, acrobatic circus, as well as small cinemas, Chinese and Western restaurants, cafes, garden tea rooms and so on. Tourists can spend a whole day in the room. It can be called the Disneyland of that era. What is even more amazing is that on this basis, Huang opened China's first bank that operates day and night - day and night bank, which is located next to the big world. At that time, there were more than two in this area, many gambling stalls, and many low-level brothels were mainly two, and the former could directly deposit money in the nearest bank at any time if they won the money, while most of the women who lost their footing were not highly educated, and felt that the big world was a big business and could be relied on, so they deposited all the money in the period. Huang also launched a promotional campaign to save money to give away tickets to the big world in view of the characteristics of individual customers and civilian depositors, and the two businesses were extremely hot for a while.

The playground is doing well, but it is not a good place for the father and son to perform, and unlike the bookstore, the small theater of Big World is open and visitors can enter and exit at any time. Often the reason for coming in is just to find a place to have a cup of tea and rest when you are tired of walking. As a landmark tourist attraction in Shanghai, the Great World also attracts tourists from all over the country, regardless of whether they come to Shanghai for business or private reasons, they always have to find time to go to the Great World for a day, which leads to most of the audience not understanding Wu language. After listening to a few words with high literacy, they just left the scene, and those with poor quality scolded on the spot, so that there were not a few people who deliberately made the tables, chairs and benches bang.

Of course, there are a lot of listeners who really come to listen to the book, but first, the number is small and can only cover the first few rows, and secondly, it is not a high-level five-poison listener, it is purely for fun.

The harsh performance environment coupled with the extremely mobile audience makes it very difficult for artists to be on stage. When I sang the beginning, it was better, but when I got to the table stage, the field was in chaos. In this case, the best way to perform is to keep singing short introductory paragraphs to ensure that people can sit down and listen, and long stories are not popular because they have to be foreshadowed. But there are only a few openings, and I get tired of singing it repeatedly every day, and singing the opening chapter can only maintain the scene, which is still too far from the goal of the father and son to make a name for themselves in the Shencheng book world.

In the past few days, the father and son have also had a lot of thoughts, and secretly looked at the performances of other lyric artists, and found that they either faced a similar dilemma as them, and occasionally there were a few particularly popular ones, but after listening to a few words, Qian Xunzhi pulled up his son and walked out, for no other reason, it was really unbearable to sing all the three ways on stage.

After the end of the session today, the father and son didn't want to call a rickshaw as usual, but walked back slowly, Qian Dingzhang remembered what Zhao Afu said to them on the first day, "Storytelling in the big world, simple and simple, difficult and difficult, there are many people here and fast, it doesn't matter if you sing casually, most people are listening to a lively scene, you will be called "hand towel" and "poured noodle soup" when you grind foreign workers in the bookstore, but not here, unless you offend the white-faced people without opening your eyes." But it's not easy to sing and become famous, so you can do it yourself."

Qian Xunzhi was also at a loss, after all, he had no ability to change the status quo of the audience, and the atmosphere was a little stuffy for a while.

At night, Shanghai is still as prosperous as day, pedestrians on the road are endless, and you can still hear all kinds of selling sounds in your ears, from the "white sugar lotus heart porridge" in Suzhou dialect to the "long bell to cut long bell" with local accent full of ears.

Qian Dingzhang sounds quite fresh, where can I hear this kind of authentic street shouting in later generations.

"Huh? "Qian Dingzhang's heart moved, if these shouting voices are made into singing, isn't it a new beginning, and it is close to life, it should be welcomed. Moreover, the industry practitioners in Shencheng show quite obvious regional characteristics, and immigrants from a certain area usually monopolize an industry.

That's right, and there is really such a opening "Crash Hard" in the lyrics of later generations. This kind of work with certain regional characteristics and stereotypes is the best tool to attract attention.

Thinking of this, Qian Dingzhang's mind also became clear, "Who is Lao Tzu, he is a traverser, there are so many things from the future generations, just take out a little bit, and the things that can be passed down for decades should not be bad, by the way, don't they all say that Shencheng is a ten-mile foreign field, and cats and dogs can know a few words of pidgin English, and this thing can also be made into a tune." ”

When he slapped his thigh, he said to Qian Xunzhi, "Daddy, call the rickshaw, I have a way, hurry home and say it." As he spoke, he jumped into a rickshaw waiting on the side of the road to solicit customers.

Qian Xunzhi was startled by his son's surprise, and he didn't ask much for a while, shook his head and jumped into another car.

When they arrived at home, the two were about to go back to the side room where they lived daily to discuss new words, but they didn't expect to see that Lu Zuixian He Ruoxi was in the guest hall, and they looked like they were waiting for someone.

"Two, it's only eight o'clock today? It's early, waiting for someone to say hello before Qian Xun.

"I'm waiting for you two," Lu replied.

"Huh?" Father and son are strange at the same time.

"That's the case, although the two of them are also people who sing lyrics, they are obviously well-informed and well-read poetry and books, and those ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, different, there is something I want to ask the two of you to help with an idea, or do you want to participate in the grand event together?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Huang Chujiu was also a strange person who was famous at home and abroad back then, and it is worth saying a few words. In the past, all walks of life had the habit of offering to the grandfather, and I think how to market and plan advertising companies and the like today can provide Huang as the grandfather. This guy is a genius when it comes to the market.

He himself has made great achievements in the field of ophthalmology as a Chinese medicine practitioner, but he does not buy and sell well. In order to make a living, he went down the three roads in a hurry, and began to distribute aphrodisiacs, he was born in a medical family and studied pharmacology, and the output of the "Dragon and Tiger Seven Absolute Pills" (tribute to the three thousand beautiful girls) was very popular and widely marketed. As a result, he was detained in the Yamen of Shanghai County at that time, and the county official scholar was born with a deep hatred for this. There is also a small tail in the matter of being hit by the board, the ancestral home of the county official who beat him is from Kip (xia) Shi, Zhejiang, and now it belongs to Haining, the place is small, but there are a lot of celebrities. For example, Xu Zhimo. Later, Xu Zhimo's Lao Tzu invited Huang Chujiu, a native of Yuyao, to dinner and cheer for fellow villagers. During the period, I found a few celebrities to accompany me, one of whom was the county magistrate of Shanghai, and Huang's embarrassment during the banquet can be imagined.

It was probably this board that opened his mind, and then Huang Chujiu opened his ophthalmology and studied various health care products at the same time, both Chinese and Western. The most famous ones are Airo's Brain Supplement and Primelo Machine. Its various marketing methods are ingenious, and it is really the ancestor of the brain platinum Shi Yuzhu.

Later, he invested in the pharmaceutical field to develop the famous Dragon Tiger Rendan, breaking the monopoly of the Oriental people in this medicine in one fell swoop, and then gradually entered the industry, real estate, and banking circles have won a big victory. Later, he met the industrial and commercial tycoon Jing Runsan's joint venture to establish New World Playground, and after his death, Huang withdrew from New World shares. (Jing Runsan has a descendant named Jing Shuping, the official to the chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and one of the initiators of Minsheng Bank. )
