Entertainment: Deyun’s young class leader? Sorry, quit

3pm.

At the Xi'an branch, Feng Zhaoyang, Zhang Jiuling, and others performed one after another.

With each couple that left, the atmosphere became even more lively.

Meanwhile, media reporters who arrived were also continuously filming the scene.

The alliance of Huilin Society is far more significant than the alliance of Deyun Society back then.

The Deyun Society alliance only unites a small number of actors. However, their alliance with the Qingqu Society means that they may be able to collaborate with more dedicated actors in the future.

This fosters a close-knit community among the performers, encouraging them to work together for the sake of crosstalk.

This is something that Deyun Society cannot do, because it has offended too many people, and with it around, unity is impossible.

Moreover, he has a very poor public image; his past words and actions have become the target of criticism now.

And by the time the afternoon performances were almost over...

The host took to the stage again.

"Thank you for your applause. The program this afternoon is almost over, but we can't let the head of the Huilin Society be idle at the opening ceremony of the Huilin Society branch."

Next, please welcome Guo Qilin to the stage.

"Oh~~"

The applause and cheers were deafening.

At the moment the house was packed, nearly half of the audience members stood up and went forward to give gifts.

The gifts they gave were mostly flowers, to celebrate their opening.

But just a few bouquets were enough to almost fill the outer edge of the stage.

Those who didn't know better would have thought something serious had happened.

Guo Qilin and several staff members worked hard to take the microphones, and only after they had almost finished receiving them did they return to the microphones to interact with them.

"Thank you everyone. Today is the opening of the Xi'an branch of Huilin Troupe. The fact that it went so smoothly is first of all thanks to the audience's support and the help of the head of Qingqu Troupe. He was the one who helped oversee the decoration of this theater."

At this moment, the side of the stage is filled with actors, including those from Miaofu.

Having had little contact with Guo Qilin, he never imagined that a domineering and unreasonable leader of the Deyun Society, who could turn black into white, could raise such a well-mannered and likable child.

"Huilin Society has come a long way. It's partly due to individual efforts, but mostly thanks to a group of great friends, elders, and our audience. But enough of that. I'll save some time and tell you a stand-up comedy routine."

"it is good!!"

Guo Qilin is very popular; whatever he says, the audience likes.

"As you all know, I don't do much storytelling. It's mainly because storytelling is difficult; it's not like crosstalk where you can just throw in a few jokes and everyone's laughing. Isn't it easy to throw in a joke? You can make someone laugh with just one sentence, what kind of joke is that?"

"Take Yan Hexiang for example. What happened to Yan Hexiang? He recently started dating someone. It wasn't easy for him to find someone; he finally managed to win her over. But couples inevitably argue, and recently he made a mistake, which led to his girlfriend demanding that he leave with nothing."

But he was doing quite well a while ago, driving nice cars and drinking good wine. I looked at him and asked, "You don't seem like you're leaving with nothing."

He said, "Why not call it leaving with nothing? Isn't this just starting to practice the Sunflower Manual?"

Hahahaha~

Laughter erupted.

Guo Qilin chuckled, “It’s just a little joke, a simple one. Storytelling is different; you have to be completely clear about the whole story framework and not stumble over it.”

What should we talk about today? Let's talk about a well-known story from the Three Kingdoms period. Before we begin, let's recite a poem to set the tone and create a sense of ceremony.

To avoid making you all too excited and unable to concentrate.

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms were divided. Throughout history, there have been many heroes and illustrious figures. With feather fans and silk turbans, they talked and laughed, and used the Thirty-Six Stratagems to stir up trouble."

The gavel struck, and the audience erupted in applause once again.

"When we talk about the Three Kingdoms, we won't go through it step by step like other scholars. Instead, we'll focus on discussing its interesting aspects, just for fun. Don't speak or listen recklessly."

"Speaking of the Three Kingdoms period, many heroes emerged, and of course, there were also treacherous ones."

Putting all that aside, let's first talk about the think tanks of the Three Kingdoms period. These think tanks were incredibly resourceful, each one displaying their unique talents—in modern terms, they were all geniuses!

At this point, some smiles appeared on the audience's faces.

Solo performances or storytelling are traditional, but performers need to bring out their own unique characteristics and showcase their humor.

"The military strategies they employ boil down to one word: bomb!"

Guo Qilin stood on the stage, speaking with a somewhat serious tone.

"So, in the entire Three Kingdoms period, who was the best at using stratagems, wisdom, and the 'bomb' technique? Zhuge Liang."

"Everyone is very familiar with Zhuge Liang. His surname is Zhuge, his given name is Liang, his courtesy name is Kongming, and his pseudonym is Wolong. He was from Yangdu, Langya, which is today's Yinan County, Shandong Province."

He was the Chancellor of Shu Han and an outstanding statesman, military strategist, inventor, and writer in ancient China.

It's also one of the biggest deceptions in the Three Kingdoms period. Why do I say that? There are examples to support this claim.

On stage, Guo Qilin was performing a stand-up comedy routine, which lasted for at least an hour.

But for that entire hour, the audience listened with great interest, almost all of them completely absorbed in his rhythm.

This is the state of affairs.

The fellow apprentices were somewhat surprised. Some of them had actually seen him perform solo before, but that was a long time ago. Now, when he performed solo again, there was no way to find any fault with his skill and ability.

Miao Fu and others also believe that Guo Qilin's past talent may have been completely buried by Deyun Society.

No wonder he insisted on leaving the club.

If you don't leave the company, you really won't have a chance.

An hour passed quickly, and around 5 or 6 o'clock, the first event of the day was over.

However, after the event ended, all of today's performances were recorded by the audience and media and uploaded to the internet.

Uploading to the network involves a large amount of data.

In a short period of time, the number of views skyrocketed.

"I never knew Dalin could tell stories. Just one video is enough to show that Dalin's skills are not weak, even though he hasn't performed for so long."

"This is something he's been cultivated since childhood, just like the Marquis. Even if he doesn't say it, his feeling and state on stage are just right."

"Dalin has always been excellent, with no problem in his professional skills and first-class upbringing and character. It's just a pity that he encountered such a family."

"Yes, it forced me to change careers."

The audience and fans were pleasantly surprised that Da Lin performed a solo act, and with this surprise and novelty, the number of views continued to rise.

Let's do it together.

Among them, no one felt regret and heartache except Guo Degang.

After Guo Degang experienced his youngest son angering his master to the point of hospitalization, he completely lost hope in him and directly labeled him as a menace.

So he ignored him for a long time and even held a meeting to warn his apprentices not to try to curry favor with him.

I thought this decision would make me feel better.

As a result, Da Lin delivered a decent solo performance, which made him deeply regret why he hadn't let him inherit his mantle.

Each of them possesses top-tier talent.

Even a solo performance is already quite good.

You should know that he was extremely fond of stand-up comedy and kept training performers. He trained so many people that he didn't even realize his eldest son could speak well.

So one person watched the entire hour-long video by himself.

After watching the video, I fell into a long silence.

It's not just today that Da Lin has a performance; Guo Qilin has had performances for the seven days since the store opened.

Guo Degang watched all of his performances and felt that his skills were better than before.

They couldn't help but chat with Gao Feng and the others.

Gao Feng and the others, seeing this, certainly knew it was good, and offered some praise.

"I didn't expect Dalin to have improved again. This improvement comes with age, and he's starting to have some depth."

"But why are they performing together with the Qingqu Society's Miaofu?"

The house was a gathering of Guo Degang's friends.

Gao Feng, Zheng Xu.

As soon as Zheng Xu spoke, it made Guo Degang uncomfortable.

He really didn't want to see Qingqu Society, so he naturally ignored the video of them performing together. As a result, he even brought it up, so how could he be happy? "They've opened a branch together. You were away on business trips and didn't know, and you didn't follow it online either."

Gao Feng couldn't help but try to smooth things over.

Zheng Xu was indeed unaware of this. He had made a mistake before and had become somewhat marginalized, so he hadn't paid any attention to it and didn't want to.

Unexpectedly, Guo Degang's face turned black.

Guo Degang gave him food, and he immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.

"You said they can all be together, so why don't we invite Guo Qilin back to perform?"

Gao Feng admires Guo Qilin and tries to say something.

Hearing this, Guo Degang's expression improved considerably from its dark state. He had actually wanted to invite them, even if it cost a lot of money, but he was too ashamed to contact them.

I knew he wouldn't agree.

But what if?
So much time has passed, what if he actually agrees?

"Old Gao, do you think it's okay to invite him?"

"Why can't I invite you?"

Gao Feng is now getting old, and his baldness is getting worse. Because of this, he is similar to Guo Degang in that he cherishes good actors more and more.

And it's a pity that Guo Qilin left the club.

Of course, he knew his senior brother was concerned about his reputation and wouldn't dare to say anything, so he simply did a good deed himself.

"Since we're in an alliance, it's perfectly fine for us to hire actors for each other. I'll call and ask later, let Xiao Luan think about it first."

"Okay, sure. Old Gao, I'm counting on you!"

When Guo Degang said the last four words, he looked at the other person and emphasized his tone, as if he was eager for the deal to go through and hoped that Gao Feng would do his best to say the right thing.

Seeing Guo Degang in this state, Gao Feng nodded, first planning some words in his mind, and then turned to the side to make a phone call.

After the seven-day performance, they learned that Dalin had returned from Xi'an.

Make the call.

Luan Yunping is in the company office planning the branch's performance program for the week after next.

With the opening of the branch office, their actors now have another place to travel for work.

However, the more branch offices they have, the longer they spend outside.

Some might be unwilling, but others are more than willing; who's afraid of these things when it comes to making money?

While I was dealing with it, a phone call suddenly came in.

When he saw that it was Teacher Gao, his heart sank. He had not performed with him since joining Huilin Troupe and missed the days when they performed together.

Things have changed, and we have no choice but to come to this point.

Especially after the Master's youngest son committed some misdeeds recently, it further confirms that their withdrawal was the right thing to do.

"Hello, Professor Gao? You're rarely free! Is there something you need?"

"Yes. It's quite a dilemma."

In detail, Gao Feng planned to use his connections and influence to invite Da Lin to perform at Deyun Club.

Pay him whatever performance fee he deserves, based entirely on his current market value, not a penny less.

After listening, Luan Yunping put down what she was doing and thought for a second or two. "Professor Gao, as you said, it's not easy at all. I might mention it briefly, but I probably won't agree."

"Let's discuss it and ask first."

Gao Feng was simply using his reputation to do things for Guo Degang. Like Zheng Xu, he was paid by Deyun Society and had to do things for him.

"Okay, I'll mention it to Dalin later."

Please lend a hand.

The call ends.

Luan Yunping called Dalin.

On Gao Feng's side, Guo Degang was filled with anticipation. As soon as he returned, he asked, "How did it go?"

"Xiao Luan is a little unsure how to proceed, but she will still contact them and wait for their call."

"..."

Guo Degang nodded and waited patiently for the call, his heart pounding with anxiety.

I can only relieve the symptoms little by little by drinking tea.

About ten minutes later, he couldn't sit still any longer and asked Gao Feng, "Did they say a time? Why haven't they replied yet?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Luan is no ordinary person. If she said she would contact you, she definitely will. She won't forget."

After considering the other person's personality, Guo Degang nodded and felt relieved.

Another few minutes passed.

The phone finally came through.

"It belongs to Xiao Luan."

"Hurry."

Guo Degang was overjoyed.

"Hey."

"Teacher Gao, I spoke with Dalin, and he's thinking about it. It seems he doesn't want to go, so let's just call it a day while we're ahead."

"Don't mind."

Gao Feng didn't want to disappoint his senior brother, so he suggested, "See if there's any way? Or perhaps a different approach?"

"Is it possible to turn around? You are aware of the contradictions involved."

Seeing the other party's behavior, Luan Yunping suspected that Teacher Gao had been pressured into getting involved, since he shouldn't be getting involved in things.

Everyone knows what Master did to Dalin.

"Aren't we in an alliance?"

"Yes."

"That's right. I already said before that we would cover the performance fees."

"Performance fee? Da Lin's performance fee is not low now, you should really think about it."

"is it?"

Gao Feng was unaware of what was happening in the entertainment industry. He glanced back at Guo Degang, who blinked, indicating that he, too, hadn't paid much attention.

I wonder how much Dalin's appearance fee has increased over the years.

Ask someone immediately.

There were assistants and other people in the room.

The answer came right away.

Firstly, the performance fee is determined by the actor's popularity. Normally it might be several million, but if they become very popular, their status will suddenly rise.

For example, Li Lianjie in the past, at the height of his popularity, earned 100 million yuan for a single movie.

They don't need that many commercial performances, but their asking price has still reached tens of millions.

Knowing the word "millions".

Guo Degang, Gao Feng, and Zheng Xu were all stunned.

What is the concept of tens of millions?
Xiao Yue's annual net income is only twenty to thirty million.

Guo Qilin's performance alone brought in tens of millions.

This is enough to show that he is still very popular recently and his status has not declined.

On the contrary, because he was making music and released another album, he received even more attention.

"Yes, his previous album was a huge hit, and it still has a lot of residual popularity. It's only right, absolutely right."

Guo Degang kept muttering to himself, feeling both happy for Dalin and worried.

A fee of tens of millions is not something someone without shares can simply offer. (End of Chapter)
