Chapter Ninety-One: Performing Arts
In the sensing town, it coincides with the big gathering, and the crowd is bustling.
Zhu Di and Zhu Fan came early and grabbed a good position.
Zhu Zhen also followed, but he didn't have anything to do, sitting on the ox cart on the side, watching the two brothers stand in punishment.
It's been half an hour, and the two of them haven't finished their psychological construction yet.
However, it is completely understandable that the dignified prince, performing on the street, does need to muster up courage, and it also requires a considerable degree of self-paralysis.
The sixth child could only scold again, my father is not a human thing......
"Showmanship! Chest crushed boulder! Open the brick with one palm! His Royal Highness King Yan finally held back a sentence, startling passers-by.
"Throw a knife blindfolded! Throat top gun! ”
Under his repeated shouting, someone finally stopped curiously one after another. When more than a dozen spectators gathered, the performance officially began.
The brothers have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they haven't seen any tricks in the barracks? followed those old fritters who taught three ways and nine streams, and learned a side door.
The brothers also know a little bit about the basic routines of these tricks.
I saw the second child lying on the bench bare-chested, and Zhu Di put a bluestone slab stolen from nowhere on his chest.
After the second child was lucky, Zhu Di picked up a big hammer high.
Then he picked up the sledgehammer and slammed it on the stone slab amid the exclamations of the crowd.
With a click, the slate cracked in half!
Looking at the second child again, his chest jerked and shook the two stone slabs to the ground. Then he jumped up from the stool, patted the stone slag on his chest without changing his face and heartbeat, but he was safe and sound!
"Good! What a great iron cloth shirt! The onlookers applauded.
The brothers were proud for a while, but then they couldn't be happy.
For they rested in the tub in front of the stool, and it was still empty.
Seeing that no one was paying, the brothers were not discouraged and continued to perform the rest of the show.
There are still more applause and less rewards.
In the end, he received a total of thirteen yuan, which was not enough for the five brothers to have a meal.
~~
In the next few days, it was like this again, and the daily harvest was still unreaping, and there was no improvement.
Just when the two were discussing to end their short career as an entertainer and to see if they could earn a higher income by carrying a big bag, Zhu Zhen finally couldn't help but speak:
"Why don't you concentrate on the show and give me the task of shouting and asking for money?"
"You, okay?" The second brother was not very relieved of him.
"I can't break a boulder in my chest, but I'm afraid that the two of you are not as good as me combined." Starving to death is a big matter, Zhu Zhen can't take care of hiding clumsiness, and said domineeringly: "It's not okay, let me try it, it won't be worse than the fourth brother anyway." ”
"That's right." Zhu Di has found that he has no talent for shouting.
In fact, he doesn't shout, and he doesn't ask for money.
In fact, Zhu Zhen won't either, but Mr. Guo, who slept with him every night in his previous life, has talked many times about how to ask the audience for money from street performers. This technology also has a technical term called 'pestle'.
However, Zhu Zhen estimated that even if he taught the fourth brother the words of 'pestle door', he would not be able to pull his face to say it.
Because that requires the thick skin of the walls. Fortunately, Zhu Zhen's face can meet the standard......
Since he was going to show his hands, he didn't mind showing them. He taught the two brothers what the rhythm of the performance is and how to incite the emotions of the audience.
You must not come up and click on it, the audience will end it before they have seen it.
"Remember, the purpose of the show is not to show itself, but to make the audience happy. Only when the uncles are happy, they will pay obediently! His Royal Highness the King of Chu instructed the two elder brothers.
However, the music taught can't be sung, and the two elder brothers, especially the second brother, still need time to understand the essence of what he said.
Fortunately, the fifth brother's mobile medical treatment career has developed quite smoothly. Although I don't make much money for a while, I have some harvests such as eggs, millet, and soybeans every day. Barely able to make ends meet.
So he decided to rehearse at home first before going out into the mountains.
In the end, Zhu Zhen decided to perform in a different place and transfer their performing arts business to a larger urban development.
Oh yes, he also gave the combination of brothers a very common name, called Hong Jiaban.
~~
Ten days later, on the East Street of Linhuai County, there were many shops and an endless stream of people.
The liveliness here is second only to that of the Ya Office Street, but unlike the Ya Office Street, where all the business revolves around the county office, the business atmosphere here is stronger.
Let's put it this way, when ordinary people go to the city to do business, the first choice must be Ya Department Street. But if you want to shop, eat, drink and have fun, most of them will still come to East Street.
There are not only many restaurants and teahouses on East Street, but also many hawkers selling snacks on the street, as well as trick-......
'Bell, bell, bell! In the sound of the gong, a crisp and loud children's voice sounded at the corner of the street:
"Come on, come on, take a look, throw darts blindfolded, crush boulders in your chest, open bricks with one palm, and put the tip of a gun in your throat!"
But it was our Royal Highness the King of Chu, who shouted vigorously while beating a broken gong:
"Ladies and gentlemen of Linhuai, don't miss it when you pass by! Those who have money help a money field, and those who don't have money support a personal field! ”
I don't know if his shouting played a role, or if the people in the county originally loved to see the scene, so they really stopped one after another, and they formed a circle and looked lively.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu is also a mouthful, and if you really want to watch the performance, you have to watch His Royal Highnesses King Qin and King Yan.
I saw that the brothers were only wearing small coats, revealing their iron tendons, and they opened their postures, and their fists and feet were vigorous, and they went back and forth, and the fight was in full swing.
Zhu Zhen told the two of them that this is called warm-up, don't be in a hurry to show up your unique skills first, and then talk about warming up and attracting people to come.
"Good, good!" There were a lot of people, and the crowd was cheering, but Zhu Zhen held the gong and turned around, and there were very few people who really threw money into it.
"Don't be in a hurry to ask for money, boy, we want to see blindfolded darts thrown and boulders smashed in the chest!"
"We're going to see a brick open with one hand, with the tip of the gun to the throat!"
"Yes, we want to see the blood flow like a river...... "Everyone is not afraid of the big uproar when they see the excitement.
But Zhu Zhen didn't panic at all, they had already rehearsed at home and knew what to do at this time.
He hugged his fists at everyone, learned to use the 'pestle door', and said crisply:
"Stepping on the ground, looking at relatives, the city walls are thousands of feet high, and it all depends on the help of friends. Our brothers are trapped here, and they are penniless and unclothed
I have no food, I have heard that the villagers in this imperial township are benevolent and righteous, and we don't want much, everyone can take it out. Reward a few copper plates, let us have a rut, and my two brothers will give up their lives to show everyone a unique job! ”
"Haha, your baby's mouth, one set." The crowd listened to it freshly, and the child was talking strangely pitiful.
Some of the benevolent and righteous people were moved by compassion, and they all donated their pockets and threw down more than a dozen copper plates.
"Alright, hurry up......" the crowd urged. In fact, most of them want to prostitute for nothing.
"Friends who don't give money, don't you have any money?" Zhu Zhen was not used to them, and asked for money cheekily: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money, we are black and white impermanence as pants - a pair of poor ghosts are bare-chested." The bare-chested poor ghost stood back a little, don't stand in the way of the friend who gave the money! ”
Now there are some thin-skinned people, who don't want to admit that they are naked and poor, and they also lost the copper plate.
