Hearing Yuan Kuocheng's words, Zhang Yuan quickly picked up the teacup and stood up at the same time.
"Of course!"
"That's good..." The old man was relieved.
Because he was really afraid that Zhang Yuan would be unhappy.
If others can't do this, this kid really can't do it.
There's no telling what kind of idea he might have.
Now that things are settled, I feel relieved.
"Okay, I'll make the decision."
"You become a disciple of Xiaotian, which can be regarded as the inheritance of our Yuan family."
"Yes!"
Zhang Yuan picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
He knew that now Mr. Yuan Kuocheng and his daughter Mr. Yuan Tian did not have a single disciple who entered the house.
Yuan Tian usually talks about storytelling and appears on TV, but mainly in the Northeast.
His level is certainly not bad. After all, he has an old man as a professor and he also learned from Mr. Li Heqian. This man can be compared to the famous storytelling master Fu Ping'an in the late Manchu Qing Dynasty. This old man is also from the Niu Hulu family.
But Yuan Tian's reputation is far from that of the old man.
But it doesn't matter. If you get involved in their family, you will have a "establishment".
Even if the old man is gone, he will still be equivalent to "the Queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing, the authentic Han Dynasty" in storytelling circles.
After the ceremony, everyone at the table was smiling.
"It's a good thing, Uncle Yuan's family can be considered a successor."
"It's not easy for us in the performing arts business," said Uncle Liu.
"Oh, yes, Xiao Tian followed suit, and Zhang Yuan followed suit."
"In my case, my son and granddaughter will no longer follow me." Mr. Liu Tianli complained.
"Shishi doesn't know how to dance, and her voice is not suitable for singing drums." Uncle Liu explained.
Zhang Yuanxin said that not only was she not good at singing drums, but she was also unable to do storytelling. She was good at dancing, but not at the top level, and her acting skills were so-so.
She's just a pretty face.
Oh, and the personality is okay too.
The food is good and the words are good.
Since it is a happy event, of course everyone is very happy to eat.
Although the two old men kept bickering, they were also very affectionate.
When they reach their age, they really see each other less often.
Mr. Yuan was quite strong. He ate a lot of food and drank two bowls of snow-white clay pot sheep head soup.
Mr. Liu is not feeling well. His teeth and appetite are not good.
I could still eat a few pieces of the sea cucumber roasted with green onions, and I could still eat a few bites of the braised oxtail, but I couldn't eat one bite of the chewy stuff like coriander.
However, the old man's focus is not on eating, but on chatting with Mr. Yuan for a few words, and he will casually ask about Zhang Yuan's situation.
The older generation of artists have grown up because of their life experiences and age.
No one is interested in how much money you have or what kind of car you drive.
They don’t understand anything about Golden Horses, Golden Statues, or Hollywood.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan did not brag, but honestly explained his current situation.
Including making movies and investing in film and television dramas.
Mr. Liu could only nod his head after hearing this, showing only moderate interest.
But the little lion’s parents were particularly excited about it.
Listening to him breathlessly.
Liu's father does some medium-sized business, and Liu's mother is also a medium-sized middle-class woman.
The two of them knew that Zhang Yuan had some strength because of the sugar man incident.
I originally thought that he might be a good match for our family.
Now after listening to it, I realize that our family may have to climb high...
Not to mention the original money and assets, their family at least occupies the inheritance of Mr. Liu, and is considered to be second to the famous family.
Now people also have inheritance, which is different and nothing can be compared.
Unlike the two of them, the old man cheered up when he heard that Zhang Yuan and his friends had set up a cross talk club.
"Now the cross talk club has two branches, one is at the main venue in Dashilar, and the business is good." Zhang Yuan, an old man, was interested and said emphatically.
"Next year, we plan to open a Pingshu library."
"Okay, this is a good thing!" Mr. Yuan immediately praised after hearing this.
"But my plan is to go both ways."
"It is necessary for traditional folk arts to return to small theaters."
"Just like dramas and stage plays, facing the audience directly can train actors and cultivate artists, and it can also be considered as a contribution to the inheritance of this show."
“But small theaters can only support a limited number of people, and the visibility they can provide is also limited.”
“So we have to get on a bigger platform.”
"For the next film, I want to cooperate with the emerging online platforms."
“Bring cross talk and storytelling to the website.”
"Website?" The two old men were unfamiliar with this matter.
"At that time, radio stations replaced small theaters, and television and television stations replaced radios."
"Every step allows more audiences to learn about traditional folk art."
"Then what will replace TV stations in the future will be online platforms."
"We need to plan early, because young people now are online, and we have to seize the next generation."
"Oh...that's why you said that...Potter, right?" Mr. Yuan came back to his senses.
"That's right. As long as young people like it, they have to do it."
"What Potter?" Mr. Liu Tianli asked.
"Harry Potter.
"Who's apprentice?"
Zhang Yuan:......
You old artists all have the same reaction.
"It's good to have a plan."
Although the two old men didn't fully understand it, they were very happy to hear that he was working hard for the development of this industry.
Mr. Liu nodded repeatedly.
It seems that my little granddaughter has found the right person.
The people that Lao Yuan heads in are not considered wild people to play tricks.
Of course, the two old men didn't know that these things were incidental.
Zhang Yuan originally planned to contact online platforms.
These are all part of the collaboration.
After the meal was finished, everyone at the table was very happy.
Zhang Yuan repeatedly invited Yuan Tian to stay at his home, but the other party still refused and wanted to live with the old man.
The Liu family is also quite satisfied with Zhang Yuan's younger generation.
After all, the old man had already heard that his granddaughter had a young man who often came and went.
He also said that he has a good relationship with Yuan Kuocheng.
It's okay if I don't say it, but when I mention that I have a good relationship with Mr. Yuan, the old man feels bad.
Mr. Yuan was quite coquettish when he was young.
Think about it, if you become famous in your teens, come from a well-known family, and have great looks, you must have been a lot of frivolous people when you were young.
If you want to put it this way, it would be more appropriate for Zhang Yuan to pay homage to Mr. Yuan...
I was worried at first that I was a playboy who only knew how to talk.
Now that I have seen him, I realize that he still has real abilities.
We had a good chat, and before we left, we all agreed to get together again.
I thought this banquet would end in joy.
Unexpectedly, the arrival of a phone call instantly brought the atmosphere to freezing point.
Didi didi...
Zhang Yuan touched his phone and took it out to take a look.
"Not mine?"
Turning around, he saw the little lion's father answering the phone.
"Hey, Shaozeng, you are doing well lately."
"Oh...ah!"
After all, Father Liu learned the bass drum from his father, and his voice was earth-shattering.
Zhang Yuan was almost not frightened.
"What are you doing? You're so surprised!" Liu Tianli complained.
"You are a very old man and you don't have any stability."
"You see, Xiao Zhang has more determination than you."
When Liu Shishi saw her grandfather praising him, she hid beside her mother and smiled at him.
"No, Dad..."
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Guan is gone."
Three days later, Babaoshan Funeral Home.
Here in the imperial capital, when an elderly person over 80 years old dies, it is called a happy funeral.
White things must be done as red things.
But that's an old rule.
Nowadays, we can’t open running water mats in urban areas, nor can we play music.
The so-called joy and mourning, at most, the guests and family members are asked not to cry.
Today, Mr. Guan Xuezeng was born in 22 years, and he was 84 years old when he passed away. It is really a joy to mourn.
This Mr. Guan is an old friend of Mr. Yuan and Mr. Liu.
And like Mr. Yuan, they are both winners of the Chinese Folk Art Peony Award, which is the Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest award in the folk art circle.
And in terms of social contribution and recognition from the folk arts community, it is even slightly higher than Mr. Yuan.
Because this man went to the Korean battlefield twice to express condolences, and combined the advantages of Shandong Qinshu and Xuzhou Qinshu, he created the art of BJ Qinshu.
He is considered to be the founder of a sect. What’s more interesting is that although this person is famous for his drumming, this is also the reason why he has a good relationship with Mr. Liu Tianli, and they are considered peers.
But his enlightenment was in storytelling, so he had an irreconcilable relationship with Mr. Yuan, who came from a family of storytelling.
The remaining three of the four storytelling masters are famous for their storytelling, but they are all big drums.
The music industry is full of confusion.
An old man of this level is mourning and doing important things, and ordinary people can't come.
The little lion and his family are all here.
Yuan Tian also followed the old man.
The old man also specially brought Zhang Yuan along with him to the scene of the affair.
Wearing a black suit and black tie, he arrived holding an asshole.
Zhang Yuan and Yuan Tian walked into the venue with the old man on the left and right.
He took a quick glance and found that those who came were not ordinary people.
This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Needless to say, the Music Association.
This Mr. Guan once served as the chairman of the Imperial Music Association and has been a director of the Chinese Music Association.
Liu Lanfang, the current chairman of the Music Association, will definitely come.
Mr. Ma Ji is in very bad health and really can't come.
But none of his disciples headed by Jiang Kun and Feng Gong came.
There are also many seniors and leaders in the folk arts circle whom Zhang Yuan does not recognize.
He doesn't recognize others, but they recognize him!
As soon as Mr. Yuan entered the door, the Guan family greeted him.
As soon as people gathered together, they immediately attracted the attention of the whole audience.
"Hey, why is he here too!" Someone soon recognized Zhang Yuan.
"He's here as soon as he comes. Isn't he in the film and television industry?"
"There are a lot of people in the film and television industry today, and he is not a big name."
This is also true.
Because Zhang Yuan quickly saw a few familiar faces.
There were Lao Mouzi, Jiang Wen, and Liuxiao Lintong who were also present to lay flowers.
"But what ages are they? How old is he?"
"Yes, those people are all middle-aged, and he is only in his early twenties." The speaker looked around: "Apart from the Guan family, he is probably the youngest person here today."
"That is, indeed young, but that is not the most important thing."
"The important thing is who he came with."
They are all good at folk arts.
When I saw that it was brought by Mr. Yuan, I knew it.
If he is not one of our own and is not close to him, how could he be brought to this occasion?
I saw him standing next to the old man again.
"I heard that this kid is looking for a master all over the world."
"Hey, I guess it's Mr. Yuan's head."
"Yes, yes, otherwise why would you bring him here?"
"Then we can't scold him anymore?"
"Nonsense, scolding him is equivalent to scolding the Yuan family."
The old man brought him here just for this.
This is called informing the world.
Zhang Yuan is mine now, you can't bully others anymore.
At the same time, he is also telling Zhang Yuan that they are all his own, so you should stop bullying them in the future.
Old people are protective of their shortcomings.
He said that he wanted his daughter to take on a disciple, but he meant that I had to teach him personally.
"Uncle Yuan, you are here." Liu Lanfang led Qu Xie and the others forward.
Zhang Yuan greeted them one by one.
"What are you?"
"Ah, I see that this boy is quite talented, and I plan to let Xiao Tian take on a disciple." Yuan Kuocheng said with a smile.
"When the ceremony is held, everyone will come to support it."
"Hey, that's for sure." Liu Lanfang agreed.
Jiang Kun, Feng Gong and others also smiled and nodded.
"Teacher Six."
"Director Zhang, Director Jiang."
"You're here too!" Lao Mouzi took time out of his busy schedule and came over specially.
I was planning to rush back to work on the Olympics when I saw him.
That year he and Jiang Wen starred in the movie "Let's Talk Well".
"An Hong, I miss you!"
This is the show where Lao Mouzi is dressed like Luffy.
Mr. Guan sang the episode of the same name for this film.
That's why these two people came here specially to see the old man one last time.
And Teacher Six will come, except that he is also from the performing arts industry.
He and the old man's son, Mr. Guan, were good friends. They used to see each other all day long during meetings at the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and they often had meals together.
Although Guan Shaozeng learned drums and qinshu from Mr. Guan Xuezeng, he later changed his career to become a film and television actor.
In the second part of Xiao Ming's famous work "Emperor of the Han Dynasty", this is the person who plays Tian Fu.
They were all from the film and television industry, so Zhang Yuan talked to them a few words and finally recognized the famous Jiang Wen.
"Don't forget about the movie promotion in the future." Lao Mouzi said with concern.
"Definitely. I deliberately haven't taken on too many business deals recently. I have already made time."
"Hey, that's good." Lao Mouzi patted his shoulder happily.
Zhang Yuan also chatted with Mr. Guan Shaozeng of the host family.
Mr. Liu is still on the right track and gives him a lot of praise.
After all, the two of them had a good time working together in "The Secret of the City".
"Dad..." At this time, a little girl about ten years old ran to Mr. Guan's side.
"Mom calls you^"
"Oh, I'll go right away."
"Introducing to you, my daughter."
"Hello, Sun Wukong..." The little girl nodded and waved her hands.
Then he looked at Zhang Yuan: "Hello, handsome brother."
After saying that, he was still amused by his own words.
Zhang Yuan leaned down and shook hands with her politely.
This girl's speech is quite unique.
It's like there's a broom stuck behind your butt, and I always make a long sound.
The tone of voice always goes down.
In addition to his tone of voice, his appearance is also unique.
He is dark and thin, but he is exceptionally tall, and is much longer than other children of the same age.
At such a young age, he has already shown his potential for long legs.
"Hello, first time meeting."
"I've seen the scenes you filmed." This girl is not unfamiliar at all.
Because she has grown up on the set since she was a child.
This is Guan Xiaotong, who will be known as the "Emperor Circle Princess" in the future.
Of course, Gege said it jokingly. Although Mr. Guan Xuezeng was a Manchu Guarjia, his family conditions were not good, otherwise he would not have performed on the streets.
However, look at the old man's standard of care and connections.
There is no problem for three generations of Yinyou descendants.
Born as a child star, 99% of the time, the family has connections.
Those who rely entirely on themselves like Shu Chang are special cases.
"I've also seen the scenes you filmed." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile: "How about you sign your autograph for me?"
"Hehehe..." The little girl was amused by him.
Zhang Yuan immediately gestured "hush" again. After all, it was nothing.
"Oh." She immediately covered her mouth.
"I'll see you on the set if I have a chance in the future, big star."
"Keke, see you later, handsome brother."
When she took her father away, she turned back and waved to him.
"You are quite good at coaxing children." Mr. Yuan came closer.
"I didn't treat her like a child either." Zhang Yuan looked around.
Less than a year after Guan Xiaotong finished performing Chen Poet's "The Promise", he did not come to express condolences.
Zhang Yuan looked around and didn't even send a wreath.
Perhaps Poet Chen is busier than Lao Mouzi, who is filming and doing post-production preparations for release while also taking care of the opening of the Olympic Games.
Soon after, mournful music started playing and there were bursts of crying.
Although it was a time of mourning, family members and friends were still in tears at this time.
Mr. Yuan and Mr. Liu also had red eyes.
Especially when I think about myself getting older, I can't help but feel the same way.
"Wow..." Guan Xiaotong's distinctive cry also reached his ears.
Actually, this one has a sister, dear.
It's just that their appearance, temperament, and figure are completely different.
Zhang Yuan watched his parents drag Guan Xiaotong, who was crying, while the sister could only follow behind him, so he knew that the "gege" was the favored one in the family.
Follow the process and when the ceremony is over, the family will treat you to a meal.
But the old man couldn't last that long, so Zhang Yuan accompanied Mr. Yuan and sent him home.
Others are gone, but things remain.
The fact that Yuan Kuocheng personally took him there quickly spread throughout the music industry... (End of Chapter)
