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

"Really? Inviting Dalin to be a judge? That would be amazing."

All the fellow disciples sitting in the back became interested in this matter.

In large-scale crosstalk competitions, famous mainstream people usually serve as judges.

For example, the chairman of the quyi art in some place, or the famous artist in some place.

It was really unexpected that Dalin was invited.

After all, no matter how powerful they are, they don't have any leadership positions within the system.

At most, he is a famous artist.

Among famous artists, Guo Qilin is not far behind. He has performed at home and abroad, and his crosstalk performances have always been in venues with tens of thousands of people. It’s just that his crosstalk performance has been quiet recently.

But even so, no one has ever doubted his personal success in crosstalk.

"So? Dalin is going?"

"I don't know. I haven't asked. But I don't plan to ask. There's no point in going, and Dalin won't agree."

Although Luan Yunping is the vice president, he is a person who needs to manage the actors well, and he can make some decisions on his own.

Participating as a judge in the Xi'an competition is meaningful to their branch and can attract more people and actors to watch.

Is it meaningful to participate in Tianjin?

However, the next second, Yan Hexiang spoke up, "It actually makes sense. Isn't Dalin planning to set up a crosstalk street in Tianjin? Once the news gets out, I'm afraid all the colleagues will gather here. It would be beneficial to show up in Tianjin first."

Luan Yunping shook her head. "It's no good. That's too mainstream. If we go there and try to develop a crosstalk street, I'm afraid most actors will think we just started it together with the mainstream."

This is our personal wish, and it’s best not to be contaminated by others.”

"Yeah, I didn't expect that."

When it comes to things, Luan Yunping is always the best in terms of rigor.

"So what's the first thing we should do when we get back?" Zhang Jiuling asked.

"We'll go to Tianjin to discuss things with local leaders. After the discussion is over, we'll proceed with the field investigation. However, the field investigation may be a bit difficult. It's a bit of an amateur move for us to go to the hometown of quyi. It takes a lot of courage for Dalin to suddenly do it."

"That's all right. What's with all the talk of showing off one's skills before an expert? We should take advantage of our youth and act like a newborn calf fearless of a tiger. It's better to pretend to be clueless when you know the truth."

"Well, what else can they do anyway."

Several fellow students were chatting happily in the back.

Guo Qilin stood in front of the stage, acting as his own judge seriously, watching one pair of actors after another perform on stage.

Most of the people who come are college students, and there are also some folk enthusiasts.

He gave some advice to both those with good abilities and those with poor abilities.

After giving the suggestion, he wanted time to pass quickly. Being a judge was not something he liked, so he might as well go back early.

But the temple next door was different. They really hoped that he could accept an apprentice, so after a familiar actor came out, they quietly introduced him.

Guo Qilin nodded when he heard it, not taking it to heart at all, just watching their performance.

Funny guy: "You businessmen are always using big words to deceive people. You say there is no white paper when there is white paper. You have three minutes to answer me, otherwise your business will be cancelled!
The straight man said: "Come on, don't be angry, don't be angry, please forgive my ignorance, I am just a gangster."

Funny man: "Haha! Pah! I'll spit perfume all over your face. You dare to challenge me?"

The supporting actor: "What's wrong with Jianghu people?"

Funny man: "Let me tell you, and you listen. Back in the Song Dynasty, there was a charlatan. His surname was Miao, his given name was Xun, and his courtesy name was Guangyi. When he was not around, he set up a fortune-telling booth next to the Sajin Bridge. By chance, Zhao Taizu, who had not yet met him, rode past on horseback and saw a dense crowd of people beside the bridge, surrounding the fortune-telling booth. Facing him was a couplet..."

It was another familiar piece of talkative dialogue. Guo Qilin didn't know why young people these days loved to perform it so much. It might sound ordinary to the audience, but experts would know whether it was authentic or not once they heard it.

Because the breathing, rhythm and logical emphasis have to match almost perfectly, otherwise it will be uncomfortable.

Just like singing, you’ll know whether you’re out of tune or not from the beginning.

Surprisingly, they were pretty good.

So much so that Miaofu specially recommended it during the halftime break of the competition.

But Guo Qilin never responded, and even after the entire competition was over, he took the initiative to find a topic to politely decline his invitation to dinner.

If I agree to this, I don’t know how long it will take.

"Oh, it's not easy. It will be troublesome if you leave later."

On the way back in the car, Guo Qilin complained and picked up his phone to call his wife at home.

When I got outside, I missed them even more, but it would take another day or two before I could go back, which was very torturous.

After calling his wife, he also called his master and told him about his plan. As long as the Tianjin department supported it, they could do nothing about it.

But when the truth was told, Yu Qian was terrified.

Young people have not experienced the times, have not experienced the stubbornness of a bunch of old antiques, and have no idea how powerful they are.

This leads to doing things very impulsively.

"Dalin, your initial concerns and caution were correct. You need to think this over carefully. Tianjin is not a simple place. Don't get carried away."

In the past, Yu Qian would let his child do things and give him confidence, but this time it was different.

There are so many things involved.

Not to mention anything else, as long as the crosstalk street is established there, it will take away the business of all the small theaters.

Considering how many small theaters there are in Tianjin, the consequences are unimaginable.

Maybe a group of crosstalk performers who are always bickering with each other will unite to deal with Huilin Society.

After hearing what his master said, Guo Qilin reconsidered his decision and realized that he still had to do it. Otherwise, their society would lose its authority.

What does it mean to have authority? It is not just about opening a branch, but also about winning over and conquering the local people.

"Master, I will handle this carefully. This is something that needs to be done."

Yu Qian knew there was no way to persuade him, so he started to tell some facts.

"In the early days of Tianjin Small Theater, anyone who secretly recorded anything would be scolded by a group of people. Some old masters would even make a big fuss about it, making it impossible for the person to survive in Tianjin.

They can be so fussy about such a trivial matter, not to mention that if you open a crosstalk street, you're not just competing with one small theater, you're competing with all the small theaters there."

Guo Qilin nodded. Although small theaters and street theaters are two different types, old audiences will still choose to go to small theaters. But if people are cultivated into the habit of listening to crosstalk on the streets, it will indeed have an impact on all small crosstalk theaters.

The reason why it did not have an impact when it opened in Yanjing was because Deyun Society and Huilin Society were both well-known.

Apart from them, there are not many famous ones in Tianjin. Most of them are privately run. If the regular audiences are attracted away, you can imagine how anxious they will be.

Once pushed into a corner, they will do anything.

"Master, I've considered the possibility of stealing our business and potentially even becoming a public enemy. But we must act with the courage of a newborn calf, fearless of a tiger, or the movement won't spread. As for becoming a public enemy and causing trouble, that depends on whether they truly have the guts to do it. I do have a plan."

"What countermeasures?" Yu Qian was curious. As the child grew up, he would have more ways to deal with the situation.

"First, we should win over a small group and let it fully demonstrate the benefits of crosstalk street, so that it can become very popular. Then, we should think twice before suppressing or criticizing it, because the public has sharp eyes and can see the results."

“That’s feasible. If they want to cause trouble, the masses will step up.” Yu Qian recently witnessed a restaurant being attacked because of some bad behavior. As a result, hundreds of people went there and were so scared that they closed down on the spot.

Those colleagues in Tianjin who want to make irresponsible remarks should think carefully about it.

Of course, in the end, it depends on whether your apprentice is capable, otherwise people will not be afraid of him.

"Okay, let's give it a try. I didn't expect my apprentice to have such skills."

"It's not a trick, it's just a general solution. Of course, we still need to be cautious. Although I haven't been in Tianjin for a long time, I know that some people in Tianjin, including some thugs, are difficult to deal with."

The thugs in Tianjin are difficult to deal with. When they fight with others, they rely on self-harming behavior to scare people.

Wang Hui's action of kneeling down and humiliating herself without saying a word is similar to this.

It puts you in a dilemma, and the party that is right will become the party at fault.

"Let's talk about it when you get back. It's hard to explain over the phone."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Guo Qilin was really thinking about how to deal with his plan. Once he started thinking, he didn't care much about the competition the next day, and just sat there to kill time.

After the incident, some news about this also appeared on the Internet.

It can be regarded as a demonstration of Guo Qilin's current level.

But none of this matters. What matters is getting back and having a good meeting.

And the day I came back.

Guo Degang then found his senior brother Yu Qian to have a drink and dinner in Tianjin, and the dinner took place at the restaurant where Zhang Yunlei was staying.

He has been coming here frequently recently, just because Zhang Yunlei can take care of his youngest son and beat him if he doesn't obey, and he is very happy.

No one in the entire Deyun Society dared to act like him.

This made Guo Fenyang unexpectedly much more obedient recently.

"Brother, you seem a little absent-minded. Could something have happened?"

As old partners for many years, Guo Degang could tell that something was wrong at a glance.

Yu Qian took a sip of wine and sighed. Although his apprentice was no longer the same as before and had his own abilities, he was still young and obviously not up to par when going against those older thugs in Tianjin.

Why do we call them old gangsters? It’s because all those older crosstalk performers were once ruthless people or were reformed from other industries.

Just mention it to Guo Degang.

"Nothing much. Dalin just talked to me about something recently. He's thinking about setting up a crosstalk street in Tianjin."

"what?"

Hearing this, Guo Degang was a little dumbfounded. He knew better than his senior how powerful some of his colleagues in Tianjin were.

The reason why I couldn't make it in Tianjin was not only because I couldn't make a living, but also because some people were targeting me.

Why was he targeted? He did some things at that time, which made him disliked by all the theaters and some people.

This dislike has continued to affect us to this day.

"No, it can't be done. This is the city with the most crosstalk performers in the world. If he does this, he will be going against all the crosstalk performers. It will be very troublesome and he will easily get scolded."

Scolded? Yu Qian smiled. How many times had he been scolded? He had been scolded for more than ten years, but he didn't care at all.

But as a master, I still have to worry.

"Dalin is determined to do this, and we, as elders, can only help with some ideas."

"It's difficult. I think I should just give up. I really can't do it. I've been through this before. If I could see Dalin, I would have to talk to him."

Guo Degang was anxious and hoped that his child would not make any mistakes.

But inexplicably, the more his old partner acted, the more Yu Qian felt that the child must do it. Before the child did anything, he directly denied it.

"I won't listen. I'm already on my way back. But I think there's a new way to pull it off."

"any solution."

"The Luandi performances shouldn't just be crosstalk performances. We can also add storytelling, storytelling, pendant singing, and even magic tricks. That way, they won't be targeting Huilin Society entirely. If they were, the veteran storytellers and pendant singing artists wouldn't do it. This would be a good place for them; they can make money and gain popularity."

"..."

When Guo Degang heard this, he unexpectedly thought it was a good idea. Shifting the focus was something they often did, but when the news first came out, Huilinshe would still be targeted.

No one knows what the situation will be like at that time.

"Let's take it one step at a time. After all, once we get through this difficult time, Huilin Society will truly soar like an eagle and begin to expand to a nationwide level."

"Yes."

Guo Degang answered casually. He had been trying to stop it just now, but now he felt a little relieved.

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, at least the child is doing something very big.

If we succeed, we will definitely slap those old bk guys in the face and feel very proud.

It's better to fail than to do nothing and be like a waste.

Now his youngest son is a loser, and he can't even learn any of his brother's skills.

Even if he didn't learn any skills, as long as his life was stable, would it make the couple worry to this extent?

It's just so irritating.

At this moment, there was a loud bang outside the private room where the two people were dining, and it seemed that something had fallen heavily and shattered outside the door.

The huge noise scared the two people. They tried their best to get up and go outside to see what was going on.

As soon as he reached the door, Guo Degang almost died of anger.

When the waitress came to serve the dishes, Guo Fenyang clumsily knocked the plate to the ground, breaking it into pieces.

As soon as the dish landed, the waiter's face turned pale.

How could she compensate for the three or four hundred yuan dish? Moreover, if the customer pressed the issue, she might not be able to continue the business, and if she couldn't continue the business, she wouldn't be able to pay the rent.

I felt so wronged that tears were about to fall.

"it's okay no problem."

Seeing the little girl crying, Yu Qian quickly comforted her, "It's none of your fault. I don't blame you."

Guo Degang followed up, "Go ahead, I'll talk to the manager and ask them to make another one."

After the two teachers’ explanation, the waiter left with gratitude, but when he turned around quietly, he found that Teacher Guo’s face was really dark.

"Oh, by the way, go call Zhang Yunlei over. And tell him that Guo Fenyang is in trouble and has some weapons with him."

The waiter nodded immediately upon hearing this and went to call Zhang Yunlei, the manager. (End of Chapter)
