Chapter 12 Departing from the small theater
Qi Long and Gao Dongqiang ate separately. Gao Dongqiang's eating habits have changed greatly since he started working out, and he only eats low-fat and low-salt food.
Qi Long was born in the Northeast, grew up in Shanxi Province, and studied in the imperial capital. People who like thick oily red sauce can't eat together with him.
Wearing headphones and listening to songs from another world, Qi Long ate Lao Di Du Zhajiang Noodles.
A stack of fried sauce separated from oil and sauce, and several fresh and refreshing side dishes are mixed together in the noodles, not to mention how fragrant it is.
Eat a few bites, then take a bite of the ice-cold Arctic Ocean, it’s so cool!
Soon, the bowl of noodles bottomed out. After Beibingyang finished drinking, Qi Long started playing with his mobile phone.
Looking at the software that had accumulated nearly 3,000 coins, Qi Long felt that it was necessary to conduct a lottery. There was a guarantee of 30 times, and it would only cost 300 coins, almost one-tenth, which was acceptable!
After the online platform edits and broadcasts his "Tongrentang" in the cross talk competition rematch, he will get another coin!
He just did it, wiped his hands with a wet paper towel, and Qi Long opened the lucky wheel.
In the past, I was the first one to appear in the lottery by bad luck. According to the law of conservation of luck, something must be given to me, right?
If nothing else, the big gift package in the guarantee will give me something useful that I can use!
The first time I drew ten consecutive draws, there were a lot of coins. The good news is that this time one of them was ten coins. It was the first time that I had no loss or profit except for the guarantee.
The second time I clicked ten consecutive draws, a burst of purple light flashed, and an unfamiliar pattern appeared in the frame obtained by the draw.
2% probability of unlocking a random variety show.
Unlocked: "Extreme Challenge Season 1"
Variety show?
Qi Long, who was originally a little excited about winning different prizes, suddenly became less excited.
What’s good about variety shows?
Based on Qi Long's understanding of variety shows, in this world, most of the variety shows involve chatting, talking, and playing small games in the studio. Occasionally, there are one or two shows that go outdoors because the venue is not open and it is not interesting. .
The other world should be similar, right?
Qi Long shook his head and pressed the third draw.
However, the guaranteed gift package did not appear. After reading the rules carefully, I found that the 2% bonus was also considered a prize, and the guarantee was recalculated.
Qi Long looked helplessly at his clean hands.
Sure enough, my luck is still not that good.
If you are lucky, can you get hit by a car?
Helpless, Qi Long spent another two hundred coins to open the gift package. This time it was not a permanent cheat book, but a pill that permanently improved memory.
It's still useful, I've eaten it.
As soon as he ate it, Qi Long felt his brain was a little sore, as if he hadn't slept well.
In the morning, the players' names and performances that he had deliberately written down were clearly visible in retrospect.
You don't need to look back at the videos you watched earlier to recall the cross talk baggage in the videos.
This thing is good, my memory will improve, I can learn anything quickly, it is very useful.
As soon as Qi Long put down his cell phone, Gao Dongqiang, who had finished his light meal, appeared opposite him without anyone noticing.
"My father's legal team contacted Deyunshe Company, and the other party agreed with our opinion. It seems that your senior brother Mr. Guo just wants Deyun to have more capable crosstalk actors, and he doesn't offer much in terms of salary. few!"
"How to say?"
"Xiaoyuanzi, 700 per person per show; commercial performances and supporting roles, 8% of the ticket revenue; personal performances, 45% of the ticket revenue!" Dong Qiang reported to Qi Long on his mobile phone.
Qi Long nodded, that was indeed a lot.
The space in Xiaoyuanzi is limited, and there are only maybe one or two hundred tickets in total, and most of the tickets are relatively cheap (not counting scalpers). A few dozen yuan is enough to listen to a cross talk, and the ticket income may only be a few thousand more. . In a small garden, there are usually at least six pairs of cross talk actors performing. Twelve people, plus teahouse staff and various maintenance costs, rent, etc., earn 77, 88 or 88, and Deyun Club itself cannot earn much. .
Seven hundred dollars out of several thousand dollars is already considered top-notch, and this is a price paid to both of them as a piece of cake.
The two of them used to be pillars in the Shanxi Cross Talk Society. Because the class club sold fewer tickets and the ticket price was low, they might only get 510.
Commercial acting assistants usually pay 20% of the fee to other assistant actors, but in the end, they were given 8%, which is considered a high price.
As for the last 45%, it is also higher than the industry standard. Most of them are 40%, and they are 5% more.
It can be seen that Lao Guo really has no intention of making money from the two of them.
"That's good. I'll give you a call to thank my senior brother. By the way, can we arrange it today? We are almost done practicing on our own. We need to go on stage more to get the feeling of cross talk!" Qi Long suggested.
Gao Dongqiang was noncommittal: "Are you still looking for a feeling? It's good enough. I think you just like the cross talk stage and don't want to go down there!"
"Isn't it the same for you? Which rich second generation is like you, who works full-time in a small theater, and flies back and forth from the imperial capital to Shanxi Province every week for a performance fee of fifty or one hundred. It's not even enough for your air ticket. Isn't that love? Crosstalk?" Qi Long joked.
Dong Qiang did not refute, yes, Qi Long was injured this year, and he had also partnered with others, but he always felt that it was not interesting and what he said was not interesting, so he still liked to talk with his old partner Qi Long.
During the recording of the program in the afternoon, Deyun Vice President Luan Yunping sent a message to Qi Long, saying that the time had been adjusted so that they could go to the Sanlitun Deyun Society Small Theater near the cross talk competition site to have a talk. He had arranged for other actors to take the stage. Talk less and make time for them.
The two of them have about thirty minutes of performance time, and the overtime can exceed ten minutes at most. It is a small theater. It does not require precise timing. It doesn't matter if you get off work a little later. The performance can be finished before the mall closes.
After the recording ended in the afternoon, the two brothers rushed to Sanlitun. When they entered the backstage, the performance had already started at the front stage.
This is the Deyun Sixth Team led by Zhang Helun. As soon as they entered, all the actors, including Helun, stood up and bowed to say hello to the two elders.
Qi Long and Gao Dongqiang were similar in age to them, and even a little younger than Zhang Helun. They did not show off the airs of their elders and returned the favor slightly.
Then Qi Long and Gao Dongqiang came to the backstage and saluted the founder Dongfang Shuo first.
Then he asked Hou to offer incense to the portraits of Mr. Wen and Mr. Zhang Wenshun.
Previously, the Beichun City Theater was not a venue of De Yun Society, and there was no photo of the master backstage. Now that he is in the venue of De Yun Society, Qi Long, as a disciple, must offer incense.
In the theater, some audience members who often listen to cross talk realized something was wrong.
These first few crosstalks came to life too quickly. They basically chatted for a few words before getting into the main topic, and the performance was over soon.
Generally, students are the ones who start the work quickly like this and finish the performance quickly, because their abilities are limited and they are still in the stage of memorizing the text. It is good if they can perform the real work well, and they are not expected to excel in the filler parts.
But these actors on stage, regardless of their high artistic level, have long since left the category of students. Why are they so rushed?
Experienced viewers have analyzed it and concluded that there is a big job ahead, so those in front are rushing to leave room for them.
Sure enough, in the finale, the second program announcement, the host announced a crosstalk actor who was not in the program list:
"Please enjoy the cross talk "Criticizing the Three Kingdoms", performers: Qi Long, Gao Dongqiang!"
There were some die-hard fans of Deyun Society in the audience, and they naturally recognized that this was the person who had been highly discussed in the Deyun Society crosstalk enthusiasts group in the past two days.
When everyone learned that he was from the Shanxi Cross Talk Club, they felt a little regretful. Such an excellent cross talk actor was not from the Deyun Club.
Unexpectedly, not even a few days later, I saw the two of them making a surprise appearance at the Deyun Club Theater!
For a moment, I knew that my uncle Qi Long was applauding, but those who didn't know were also affected by this and clapped enthusiastically.
Qi Long and Gao Dongqiang, wearing coats, took the stage.
Compared to competitions where the audience is full of peers and the judges are all cross talk masters, this small garden still makes them relax a lot!
