Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 201 Huqin
Just over a week after the "Fengshen Yanyi" storytelling program became popular in the Lianhuapeng, people in the other three Goulan in the same cottage also began to talk about "Fengshenyanyi" storytelling.

Needless to say, the people who talked about Fengshen Yanyi and Pingshu in these few columns were none other than Zhang Qingfeng's three senior brothers.

Both the first senior brother and the second senior brother have their own hooks, and only the third senior brother joined recently.

Goulan in the Song Dynasty was the theater of later generations. In this era, it was very difficult to enter Goulan for performances.

One's own talent and connections are an indispensable part. The reason why the senior brother and the second senior brother can perform in Goulan is not only his own ability, but also Mr. Zhao, a teacher who has accumulated a lifetime of connections in Goulan Washe.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were a lot of folk artists, and in Lin'an, it was a place where artists gathered together. Out of a hundred artists, only one or two could perform in Goulan.

Most of the entertainers either performed on the street, or found a place to perform in a teahouse or the like.

There is also a more advanced one, that is, to become an entertainer raised by a rich family, and perform specially for the rich family.

After all, Goulan Household is a place for ordinary people to go, and it belongs to the low class, and the dignitaries of the upper class disdain to go to Goulan Household.

And what if they want to watch operas and listen to storytelling?
It's very simple. I raise artists by myself, especially talented female artists. In this era, they are called geisha. They can sing and dance, and they are loved by the rich and powerful.

In Lin'an, daughters born in many low-level families would be regarded as the apple of the eye, and they would cultivate their talents from an early age, so that they could be sent to the rich and powerful families to be entertainers when they grow up. In this way, the life of the whole family can be completely changed.

If the powerful people support them, they will have the opportunity to become court entertainers, performing their talents for the nobles in the court. In this way, their status will not be comparable to that of ordinary entertainers.

But when it comes to where the most talented entertainers are the most, it is undoubtedly Goulan Washe. Although these top entertainers are only a handful, they are not far behind the top entertainers in the palace.

Goulan Houses were all established by capitalists for the purpose of making money, and a cruel elimination system was adopted. Artists without talent, or artists who cannot make money for Goulan, simply cannot stand here.

On the other hand, the artists who can stand up in Goulan Washe are all top-notch artists, and at least they are artists who can make money for Goulan.

Only artists who can make money for Goulan will be favored by Goulan.

Just like Mr. Zhao now, his two storytelling sessions a day are full. If it wasn't for his age and lack of energy, Goulan would have let him speak from morning to night.

However, a big Goulan does not completely pursue profit. Pingshu is just one of Goulan's programs, and there are many other programs of other types.

There are a lot of big Goulan, and there are all kinds of artists. They will definitely not talk about storytelling all day long just because Pingshu is popular. Although this can make some money in a short period of time, it will definitely be detrimental to the development of Goulan in the long run. .

This is also the reason why Lianhuapeng can only watch the other disciples of Mr. Zhao's Goulan Pingshu Fengshen Yanyi.

Since your lotus pendant can't provide so many opportunities for storytelling, then you have nothing to say when we go to other Golan.

After Zhang Qingfeng's master and several senior brothers commented on books in several Goulan, Fengshenyanyi became even more popular.

Up to now, it is no longer Zhongwazi, where the lotus shed is located, who knows the name of Fengshenyanyi. In other areas, countless people come here especially to see Fengshenyanyi, which was almost praised by others.

This also caused a hot scene in several Goulan who were talking about storytelling.

Such scenes are often only seen during major festivals.

Countless people came here attracted by the fame, which also brought a lot of popularity to the other Golans in Zhongwa, offsetting the impact of the poor attendance of other Golans when there was Fengshen Yanyi Pingshu.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Qingfeng, a novice who had only studied for less than half a month, also found a job in a Goulan in Zhongwa.

The current situation is that as long as an artist who can tell storytelling and has a manuscript of Fengshenyanyi storytelling, many hooks are rushing to ask for it.

Zhang Qingfeng, as the author of the Romance of the Gods, naturally had a manuscript, and he was also rushed by several Goulan.

In the end, Zhang Qingfeng chose a Goulan called "Tea Garden Shed", which can accommodate 500 people.

His time for storytelling was arranged during the day, almost twice a day, and he only had time to write manuscripts at night.

What Zhang Qingfeng didn't expect was that the [-]-seat tea garden shed was full of audiences on the first day he gave a lecture on storytelling. Besides, there were also many people who bought standing tickets, which can be said to be full.

In fact, Zhang Qingfeng also knows that this is not because of his great appeal, but because Fengshenyanyi storytelling is too popular recently, and many people want to listen to Fengshenyanyi storytelling, but they can't get it.

Many people bought tickets immediately after seeing the sign of the storytelling show "Fengshen Yanyi" on the tea garden shed.

Zhang Qingfeng's storytelling is still a little behind Mr. Zhao and his senior brothers, but even so, his storytelling has been sought after by many audiences.

Every time he talks about storytelling, the audience in the audience also donates a lot of rewards.

For Zhang Qingfeng's commentary on storytelling, he was paid [-] renminbi per session, and the audience would get about [-] to [-] renminbi in rewards.

In addition to the almost one consistent amount of money given by the old gentleman and a few seniors every day, Zhang Qingfeng found that he could earn nearly three amounts of money a day, which was really a surprise.

It's not just that Zhang Qingfeng earns so much money every day. Old Mr. Zhao earns at least seven or eight times a day from commenting on storytelling in the lotus flower shed, which is much more than Zhang Qingfeng.

Several of his senior brothers earn a lot of money every day in several shops, and none of them make less than two pennies.

From this point of view, all of them have to thank Zhang Qingfeng, without Zhang Qingfeng's Fengshen Yanyi, they would not even be able to make so much money.

Take the big brother Tian Zhi as an example. He used to have a storytelling session a day in the Goulan where he was located. The salary for a storytelling was [-] coins, and the reward would not exceed [-] coins.

But now, he talks about Fengshen Yanyi storytelling, from one session per day to two sessions per day, and the attendance rate of each session is full.

Under such circumstances, his salary has also doubled, and there is also a share of rewards. It is stable at more than two times a day, and the money he earns is several times higher than before.

Although they said that Pingshu earns more, Goulan earns more. If Goulan is so full every day, the owner of Goulan can earn at least [-] to [-] guan a year.

Of course, it is impossible to be full every day. There are only so many audiences, and other Goulan will also compete.

"Uncle Liu, do you still need more people in your team?"

On this day, Zhang Qingfeng pestered Uncle Liu and asked.

The one he called Uncle Liu was the head of a theater troupe.

"Yang Sanlang, you make so much money from storytelling, how can you still think highly of my hard-earned theater troupe?" Old man Liu said to Zhang Qingfeng with a smile.

Old man Liu has more than a dozen people, although they can earn some money every day, but if they are divided among so many people, no one can get much.

Compared with Zhang Qingfeng earning at least two guan a day, it is much less.

"How can you look down on me? I'm still young and I plan to learn more. How boring it is to just talk about storytelling all my life!"

Zhang Qingfeng said to old man Liu: "Why don't you let the big lady teach me the Huqin, I'm willing to pay the tuition."

The eldest lady is old man Liu's daughter. She is married and has a son, and her daughter and son-in-law are working in his team to make a living.

Old man Liu's daughter is good at playing the huqin, which is what Zhang Qing wanted.

Huqin was called Xiqin in the Song Dynasty, it was called Huqin by common people, and it was called Erhu in later generations.

Although Zhang Qingfeng had already learned the erhu skills of Professor Li Chun with the learning card before traveling.

But his current identity is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy from the Song Dynasty. As a well-established person, if he wants to show some of this skill in front of others, he must find a teacher. To give his skills a provenance.
