Chapter 323: Qilin Society

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Yang knew that he was speechless, and smiled at the camera: "I'm sorry, I just pinched off this paragraph." ”

After reconsidering the wording, Zhang Yang said: "There are many factors for the decline of cross talk, on the one hand, the living conditions of the common people are better, and there are more entertainment options to choose from.

Second, it is the appearance of sketches, the blow to cross talk is too big, before the sketches came out, from 90 to 93, when cross talk was at its peak, the cross talk programs of the Spring Festival Gala occupied 5-7 every year, but after the sketches came out, there were 1-2 left.

Who doesn't love something new?

Most of the audience of cross talk was sucked away at once, and since then it has been sluggish, and there are fewer people in each performance, and finally many cross talk actors have changed their careers to perform sketches in order to eat. ”

Zhang Yang shook his head and sighed, "But it's no wonder they, think about it, I, the chairman of the music association, now rely on acting in TV dramas to earn a salary to subsidize my theater performances, not to mention other unknown cross talk actors?" ”

Zhou Miao nodded approvingly.

Zhang Yang is worthy of being a living dictionary in the cross talk world, he has seen the peak, but also experienced the trough, the rise and fall of cross talk and the glory and disgrace of him are like a few treasures, under his memories, Zhou Miao and the two seem to have experienced the wonderful era of a hundred schools of thought.

At noon, Zhang Yang invited the two to have a meal together, and also took a group photo and posted a Weibo.

Looking at the comments and forwards that are rising, Zhang Yang can't close his mouth with a smile, the cross talk actor is also an actor, and he also needs attention and traffic, otherwise who will remember him? Who came to see him perform?

In the evening, the flamboyant small theater started, with more than 1,000 seats, and there were a few rows of seats in front of it, and a large area of empty space in the back, which looked particularly empty and sad.

According to Zhang Yang, there are already a lot of people who came today, and just these people have to be attributed to the photo he sent with Zhou Miao Anqi at noon.

Zhang Yang has seven or eight apprentices under his hands, and the salary of 5,000 per month may be okay in the second and third tier cities, but this is Beijing, 5,000 a month, and it really depends on power generation for love.

The ticket money recovered every month is not enough to pay salaries, as well as rent, water and electricity, and other costs.

Zhang Yang bluntly said that if the situation has not improved, he will have to consider disbanding the theater.

He couldn't post it anymore, and he didn't want to post it anymore.

In the corner of the theater, Zhou Miao and An Qi sat together to watch the cross talk performance.

An Qi held her chin and looked sullen, her mind was still thinking about the ugly thing in the morning.

Just now she went to Ke Wen and wanted to pinch that paragraph, but who knew that Ke Wen actually rejected her after careful consideration, on the grounds that the show was good.

"What should I do, Zhou Miao, I'm embarrassed and embarrassed......," An Qi said with resentment.

Zhou Miao smuffled the melon seeds smugly, "Who made you even remember the name wrong, it's good that Zhang Yang didn't get angry on the spot." ”

An Qi secretly pinched him, "It's all your fault!" ”

Zhou Miao looked at her inexplicably: "How can this be blamed on me?" ”

Anqi: "I don't care! It's your fault anyway! ”

Zhou Miao shook her head helplessly, it really makes no sense to talk to women.

After sulking for a while, An Qi snatched Zhou Miao's melon seeds over and ate them again, "It's past eight o'clock in the evening, are we still going to the Qilin Club today?" ”

Zhou Miao glanced at the position of the camera, and was filming materials on stage, as a documentary-style variety show, Zhou Miao's interview can only account for a small part of it, and it will be supplemented with some narration in the later stage, which must require a lot of material.

Looking at the meaning of the program team, it seems that I don't plan to move my nest today, so I will record some material here before leaving.

Zhou Miao: "It seems that the Qilin Club can't go today, so let's go tomorrow." ”

……

Compared with Zhang Yang, Qi Lin, the helmsman of the Kirin Club, is much more difficult to make an appointment, and the two variety shows under his command are filming at the same time, and he also has to manage the Kirin Club, and the business is very busy.

Ke Wen made several phone calls before he made an appointment for half an hour before the evening performance of the Kirin Club.

On the way to the Kirin Society, An Qi muttered, "What is half an hour for?" Yesterday we interviewed Zhang Yang all day. ”

Zhou Miao didn't respond, and concentrated on thinking about the interview questions waiting for the meeting.

For Qi Lin, Zhou Miao has long wanted to get to know him, many people say that he is a generation of heroes in the cross talk industry, both in terms of vision and pattern, far beyond ordinary people.

In the overall downturn in the cross talk industry, the Kirin Club led by him was able to swim against the current, and it was hard to find a ticket!

It can be seen that Qi Lin has some real skills.

When Zhou Miao and the others arrived at the Qilin Club, a bunch of young men and women holding light sticks had gathered at the entrance of the theater, and there were very few middle-aged and elderly audiences.

For the traditional Chinese art of cross talk, this kind of fan age composition is simply evil!

But at the same time, this is also one of the more criticized points of the Kirin Club, which is too flattering to the audience, the cross talk actors are idolized, the people are set up cp in every way, and they are the first to sell cuteness and cheapness!

Under the guidance of the staff, the program team entered through the back door of the Kirin Club.

Qi Lin's eldest apprentice, Zhao Qiming, trotted over all the way, "Oh, I'm really sorry, my master is still stuck in traffic on the road, please wait for a while." ”

In the capital, the traffic jam is too normal, and the program team also expressed understanding, so they found a corner in the background and waited while drinking tea.

At half past seven, the performance of the Qilin Club opened, and Qi Lin had not yet arrived.

At half past eight, most of the performance was underway, Qi Lin still hadn't arrived, and Ke Wen had already gotten up anxiously and paced back and forth backstage.

At half past nine, An Qi began to search for surrounding food, thinking about where he would go to eat, and as for today's interview, eighty percent of them will be released into pigeons.

A performance in the Qilin Club is about three hours, and if Qi Lin participates in the performance that night, he usually appears as a big axis, but seeing that the time is almost up, he doesn't see anyone else.

Zhou Miao glanced at the time and said to Zhao Qiming on the side, "Is Teacher Qi still here today?" ”

Zhao Qiming's face was full of embarrassment, this matter was neat, he said that he was coming, why couldn't he be contacted suddenly.

At this moment, a person walked into the backstage passage, less than one meter seven, slightly chubby and slightly black, slightly rich, with a shrewd energy between his eyebrows and eyes, it was the big boss of the Qilin Society, Qi Lin is also.

As soon as Qi Lin came in, he clenched his fists: "I'm really sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time, there was a temporary problem on the road, and the phone was turned off." ”

Zhao Qiming on the side reminded: "Master, it's almost time, are you still on stage tonight?" ”

Qi Lin: "Of course, I have already announced that I will be on stage tonight, but it is our food and clothing, and we can't miss the appointment." ”

Ke Wen was immediately anxious when he heard this, he knew that Qi Lin still had an appointment in the evening, could it be that he had to wait another day?

"Teacher Qi, what about our interview?"

Qi Lin glanced at everyone in the program group, then his eyes stayed on Zhou Miao, his eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "It's better like this, Teacher Xiao Zhou will come to the stage with me tonight to experience cross talk, and tomorrow I will set aside a day to be interviewed by you." ”

"Huh?"

Everyone was shocked, and Zhou Miao's eyes widened even more, "I'm talking cross talk with you?" This...... I won't. ”

Qi Lin: "It's okay, you are responsible for standing next to me, occasionally responding, leaving the rest to me, and ...... There is ridicule on stage, but don't take it to heart. ”

Zhou Miao looked stunned, and before he could react, the down jacket on his body was ripped off, and Qi Lin personally covered him with a cross talk coat.

This, this, this...... This is coming to power?
