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

"Do you support it or not? I didn't expect Guo Degang's son to make such a fuss. The son is more capable than his father."

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the Mingliu Teahouse was still packed, with many people coming to watch the crosstalk.

But there was not a single old man among the crosstalk performers who came on stage. This was enough to prove that the teahouse was in some crisis and the person in charge had to make some changes.

However, the person in charge of the celebrity teahouse was very hesitant, fearing that the changes would lead to mistakes.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's see how it goes first. If it's good, we'll still support it. If it's not, then we'll just stop talking."

The person who was talking to the person in charge of the Celebrity Tea House was an actor who often performed there.

Relatively young, in his thirties.

He has won many awards in Tianjin, such as the Ma Ji Cup Crosstalk Competition.

But what if I won an award?

The popularity is pitifully low.

If you mention the name, no one, local or outsider, will know it.

Once no one understood it, the celebrity teahouse became increasingly sluggish.

Although there are occasional outstanding ones, they soon fade into obscurity. After all, they are no match for Deyun Society and the now emerging Huilin Society.

While the two were talking.

Suddenly a man appeared in the backstage. His name was Ma Liujia.

The son of Master Ma Zhiming.

Because some people are not engaged in the quyi industry, but have been collecting information and making materials for quyi. He has been coming here more frequently recently because there are still many good actors here who can be recorded.

Seeing him coming, the person in charge immediately talked to him and explained the situation of Crosstalk Street.

They are afraid that if the street is established, it will affect them as well.

Ma Liujia was somewhat helpless. He did not get involved in the crosstalk circle, nor did he care about anything, so it was useless to ask him to think and explain.

It’s just that this matter is quite big, and he unexpectedly has some ideas.

"It will definitely have an impact. After all, it will definitely attract a lot of tourists and locals. Once they go there, the theaters and teahouses will naturally be empty."

"Yeah? How about we join in and express our stance?"

"No, it's not good to show your attitude. Guo Qilin is a good actor. Since he is holding a crosstalk street event, he will not do it for the purpose of open provocation. He must be thinking of some traffic and publicity. I think it's better to use the traffic to do things."

"How can I borrow it?"

"Haven't you seen it? Huilin Society often invites theater actors from all over the world to perform here. Can't you just organize the actors to go?"

After hearing what Ma Liujia said, the person in charge's face changed immediately.

Actors in Tianjin have many problems, the biggest of which is that they are too concerned about face and are too particular about seniority.

There is nothing wrong with paying attention to seniority, but they do it mainly to show off their superiority.

How is it possible for the older generation to ask the younger generation to give them traffic now?

Besides, is their Mingliu Teahouse bad?
Not bad.

It will sound good when it is spread out
You must have been stabbed in the back by many people.

"Forget it, we can stop the enemy with soldiers and cover the water with earth."

Seeing that the person in charge gave up on relying on power, Ma Liujia didn't care, as it was not his own teahouse.

He was just looking around.

But just by taking a casual look, I accidentally found some news on my mobile phone.

Most of the recent news is about Guo Qilin promoting the upcoming crosstalk street show, and then a bunch of people giving feedback.

However, there is one difference today. A theater called Hulu Society has found Huilin Society.

The intention was clear, they wanted to cooperate as one of the first crosstalk street performance groups.

Guo Qilin, as the troupe leader, stated in news reports and interviews that he fully accepts cooperation and that everyone can progress together. "Some people are just so clever."

Ma Liujia complained after watching it, then filmed a crosstalk for a while and then went back home.

When I got home, there was an old man with snow-white hair.

The old man was not in good health. His hands kept shaking and it was very difficult for him to walk.

"Dad, what are you doing out here? Aren't you going to take a break?"

"I've had my nap, come out and move around."

The old man was Ma Zhiming, who was in poor health.

He has undergone several major heart surgeries, and his health deteriorates with each surgery, so no matter how many people want him to perform, he will definitely not do it.

I really don't have the energy.

"I heard it's been lively lately, right?"

Ma Liujia smiled. His father would not care about anything, but he unexpectedly knew this. It seemed like a big deal.

"Yeah. It's that Guo Degang's son who's planning to start a crosstalk street in Tianjin. You don't know how many people are against it, how many people are criticizing it, but he doesn't care."

Ma Zhiming pondered for a while. He himself was not very popular. It was not because of any conflicts, but mainly because he was a loner and did not care much about social etiquette. As a result, apart from his partner Da Huang, he had few contacts with other crosstalk performers.

If you want to interact with someone, try interacting with the younger generation at most.

From time to time, younger generations would come to see him, and he would tell them about the crosstalk business.

Among them is Guo Degang.

"Crosstalk Street is a good thing."

Young Master Ma was not like those old-fashioned people with conservative minds. He said something first to express his affirmation.

"Why?" the son asked curiously.

"First of all, Guo Qilin has brought in traffic on his own, right? If he continues to build on his success, he'll become the next famous tourist attraction like the Celebrity Teahouse, perhaps even more popular than the celebrities themselves.

Because he doesn't sell tickets and doesn't charge money. People will like to take it."

"But isn't it stealing business? A lot of people are criticizing me for stealing business. After all, it touches on a matter of principle."

Ma Zhiming laughed and looked at his son, "Do you think you will steal my business?"

"A little bit. Huilinshe is really amazing. It's been very popular recently."

"What is the essence of Tianjin crosstalk?"

"what?"

"It's all about professionalism. Simply becoming popular might be a success in other places, but it won't reach the people of Tianjin. They are very demanding and won't even consider you if you don't have the skills."

If they were capable, why would they be afraid of these young people stealing their business? How old are they? There aren't many over 40. Now they think that stealing their business proves that the young people in this club are more capable than them.

"That's true. If someone is capable, they won't be afraid at all. On the contrary, they'll be happy. After all, it will attract more people from other cities, and once they come, they might even get to drink some soup."

"Alas, it's because you lack confidence that you deliberately criticize others. It's a common habit among crosstalk performers. I've hated these bad habits my whole life. When they open, why don't you go there on my behalf and show up."

Ma Liujia was a little surprised that his father would express his support so directly, and nodded immediately.

"Also, if you have time, you can look around and help out more. It's a good thing to do it."

Ma Zhiming said it again, and his son nodded continuously.

"Don't worry, I know some actors who are not old-fashioned. I'll contact them later."

"Guo Degang's son is not a bad guy after all. I'll talk to Guo Degang some other day."

Ma Zhiming was not aware that Guo Degang had a conflict with his son, and thought that his eldest son had founded one himself.

Ma Liujia was speechless. He had a good relationship with Guo Degang, so they just chatted and didn't think of explaining the situation between father and son.

This lack of explanation, however, later embarrassed Guo Degang. (End of Chapter)
