Wow, the connotation of this cross talk is so rich!

Three years later.

At some point, two newcomers suddenly broke into the cross talk world.

They are a little different because they talk about cross talk in nightclubs; they are a little different because most of their fans are rich second generations who like to dance disco;

Also because of their novel cross talk jokes, funny content, and beautiful arias, it seems that their reputation spread in the cross talk world in an instant.

They are Qin Yuejing and Jiang Chengyang.

At night, the Jiqing Hall is full of excitement at the entrance.

At this time, the gate of Jiqing Hall has been opened, and the big red lantern in front of the gate emits orange light; on the red pillar beside it is a pictorial poster of today's actor, who is a man with long hair and wearing a coat, 'The elegant and handsome son, but he is a drunk and a gold fan'.

The theater building on the third floor is brightly lit.Many people who came to listen to cross talk began to enter one after another, and some foreign tourists took photos in front of the door.

Although today's Jiqing Hall still looks like an old theater building from the outside, it has undergone several renovations inside and added many modern facilities.

Now when the audience enters the door, what they see is no longer the interior of the theater building, but a small lounge similar to carpeted.The lounge is quaint, where tickets booked online can be exchanged for physical tickets, and of course tickets can also be purchased on-site here.

After buying the ticket, you can enter the real Jiqing Hall through the wooden carved gate on the side.

The interior of this Jiqingtang is still antique.The ground is paved with blue bricks, carved beams and painted buildings, and lanterns are hung high, but the stage has long been replaced by a modern stage.

The stage is so huge that it occupies an entire side of the theater building.

At this time, I saw the background cloth on the stage with "Jiqingtang" written in three large characters, the font is strong and powerful, and on both sides is a couplet, which says:

'Auspicious wishes make the world happy

Celebrating more than enough to forget the sorrows of the world'

This is Jiqingtang!

The seats facing the stage are no longer bench chairs, but row sofa chairs like movie theaters.After all, if you watch a show and sit on a wooden chair for four or five hours, your butt will definitely not be able to stand it.

Now that the newly renovated Jiqing Hall can hold nearly a thousand people, it can barely be regarded as a medium-sized theater.

Of course, if you don't want to sit on the first floor, you can also choose to go to the second or third floor.

The upstairs is completely the VIP room of ancient times.You can sit by the railing, have refreshments, drink tea, and watch the performance downstairs.

This is Jiqingtang, a cross talk group that now has a three-story theater, and it is also a cross talk group that integrates things of the new era into its own theater.

At this time, the backstage of Jiqingtang.

Several young actors in various coats were waiting.

Because of the history of Jiqingtang, the gowns of the actors in the hall are mostly colored, but most of the time they wear red.The first impression of red is festive, which is also the effect Jiqingtang wants to achieve.

These few people didn't talk about the show they were going to perform today, but watched the unclear video on one of them's mobile phone together. The two people in the video were exactly Qin Yuejing who was talking about cross talk and Jiang Chengyang.

It didn't take long for them to laugh, and the mobile phone was taken away immediately.

The person who took away the mobile phone was none other than Ji Qingtang's now popular character——Qiao Huayan, Huazike in Huahaoyueyuan, known as Playboy.

The poster in front of the door was him before, and now the audience who came here also came to praise him.

It is said that the ancestors of Jiqingtang started from red things, so each generation of masters must name the apprentices according to auspicious words. For example, in Qiao Huayan's generation, his master named them "flowers" in "Flowers are good and the moon is full". Give him a name.

I saw Qiao Huayan wearing a red coat at this time, but combing her waist-length hair. She was masculine with a bit of charm, and her pretty face made it difficult to distinguish between male and female.Because of this long hair, Qiao Huayan has become the most independent person in Jiqingtang, and even in the entire cross talk industry.

Qiao Huayan's current attire is really like a beautiful boy who came out of Two-dimensional, and it also has a taste of the ancients. Even many colleagues look down on his attire, thinking that he insulted cross talk, he Still deeply loved by fans.

With his unique appearance, he has won a seat in today's face-conscious society.

"What are these!"

Qiao Huayan looked at the content of the video with his mobile phone and frowned.Don't look at him with long hair, but there is no 'pretentiousness'.

"Master Hua!" The young actors immediately got up to say hello when they saw Qiao Huayan appear.

"This is the popular aunt!"

The actor next to him continued to teach him what an 'aunt' is, and also briefly introduced Qin Yuejing and Jiang Chengyang along the way.

Qiao Huayan was a little disdainful after hearing this, threw the phone back, sat down in front of the dressing table next to him, and asked the makeup artist to put on makeup for him: "Is this also called red? How can I be as popular as red?"

The young actors were all silent, they knew that their flower master was angry.

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, a clear male voice sounded.

"That's right, our playboys and masters are the most popular now! You've all gone to the entertainment industry to develop, so how can you even look at folk idle entertainers!" A young man with glasses, carrying The schoolbag came in.

His name is Han Haochun, he is from the characters of "Flowers, Full Moon" and "Good", and he is Qiao Huayan's partner.

"Brother Han!" The young actors greeted him immediately when they saw this person appear.

Qiao Huayan frowned: "Are you flattering me or hurting me!"

"Of course I'm hugging you!" Sitting next to Qiao Huayan, Han Haochun took off his glasses and began to put on makeup.

……

"Next, please enjoy the crosstalk "Bodyguard", performed by Qiao Huayan and Han Haochun." The host began to announce the curtain, and then the audience burst into applause.

On the side of the stage, Qiao Huayan warned his partner in a low voice: "I tell you, don't hate me for a while, I will always maintain my personality as a handsome young man!"

"Hehe, okay." Han Haochun agreed with a good-tempered smile, but no one knows what's in his heart.

Then, amidst the screams of the girls, the two walked onto the stage.

That night, when the multicolored decorative lights were lit around the Qinyuan Tea House in the west of the city, the evening performance of Lion Tiger Hall began.

Today's Qinyuan Teahouse still retains the decoration of the old-style teahouse, with wooden chairs and tables, and a few benches around it, and the old-style stage is still in the venue.

This is the place where the lion and tiger hall performs all the year round.

Lion and Tiger Hall is one of the large-scale cross talk groups in Huaguo that has existed until now and mainly focuses on traditional cross talk. However, because the content of the cross talk is outdated, it gradually failed to keep up with the pace of the times and gradually declined.

However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. In today's Huaguo, Shihutang still occupies the dominant position in the cross talk world.

Most of the cross talk actors in the lion and tiger hall are disciples of cross talk who have studied for several years. You must know that if you have only studied for a few years in the lion and tiger hall, they will not let you perform on stage at all, because they are afraid that you will humiliate the lion. Tiger Hall' signboard.

Because of their continuous improvement and strict requirements for their own profession, they firmly hold the right to speak in the cross talk circle.

Whether it's cross talk communication, folk talk about folk art, or research on history, Shihutang is often the object of need, and because of this need, it has been preserved to this day.

Although both are based on traditional cross talk, when compared with Jiqingtang, Shihutang and Jiqingtang immediately formed an obvious contrast between the old and the new. After so many years of competition, the two sides have gradually reached the point where fire and water are incompatible. "Peer dies, eat enough", for them, competition has become commonplace.

However, due to the improvement of people's spare time life needs and the increase of spiritual pursuit in recent years, the number of people who choose cross talk and opera has gradually increased.

At present, there is really no shortage of food, so the two famous cross talk groups in Huaguo temporarily stopped their activities and concentrated on starting their own business.

The curtain of the "General" on the side of the stage was lifted, revealing the face of a middle-aged man. He looked into the teahouse. Although the venue was full of guests at this time, most of these people were older people. .

He sighed slightly in his heart, turned around and lowered the curtain, and returned to the backstage.

At this time, in addition to a few actors in coats, there was a fat old man sitting beside him drinking tea. The old man was in his 60s and had a ruddy complexion. However, when he saw the middle-aged man returning to the backstage, his brows frowned.

The old man put down his teacup, and immediately reprimanded: "What are you doing with a mournful face? I'm not dead yet!" The old man's name is Yu Zhiming, and he is the head of Lion Tiger Hall.

Since the establishment of Shihutang, the stage names of each generation of comedians have been drawn up in the order of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, gentleness, respectfulness, thrift and concession".

And when it came to Yu Zhiming, he happened to be the head of the 'Zhi' generation.

Song Xinfang was so shocked that he had a heart attack when he heard this sudden sound, and the disciples around him immediately fell silent.

Song Xinfang touched his heart, and said a little wronged: "Master, there are fewer and fewer guests now, and they are all older. I think we..."

"If you say something to change the cross talk mode, get out of here! The things left by the ancestors cannot be ruined in my hands!"

Yu Zhiming looked at the apprentice standing in front of him and felt a little unbearable. Although his apprentice was only 45 years old, he seemed to have entered old age in advance, and he was a little depressed.

"That's right! Can we be like those idle artists? Brother Song, our Shihutang is busy restoring ancient historical folk art books. Can those people compare?"

At this time, a fat man in a coat walked over with a smile.This person is none other than Yu Zhiming's other apprentice, Tu Xinda.

Looking at her younger brother, Song Xinfang frowned. His younger brother and master had always had the same thoughts. They placed the lion and tiger hall too high.Cross talk is not a kind of temple culture at all, there is no need to put it so high, their ancestors were still drawing pots on the ground back then.

Thinking of this, he plucked up the courage to speak again: "Master, I know that Uncle Zhang has taken in two apprentices recently, it's quite popular, why don't we let them come over, at least our place is much better than nightclubs..."

His words were interrupted by Yu Zhiming again, but this time Yu Zhiming was obviously really angry.

His face was slightly red, his eyes widened, and he roared angrily: "What uncle! There has been no news of that piece of ceremony for decades, and now it suddenly appeared, who knows who it is! Even if it is a real person, it is also a person who was taken by our ancestor. He was kicked out, he made a huge mistake, you should know it! Now you see his two apprentices are popular, and you start thinking about it, I think you can also get out and join them in the nightclub It's cross talk!"

After speaking in one breath, Yu Zhiming suddenly frowned, grabbed his chest, and looked a little weak, which scared Tu Xinda and other senior brothers to rush forward to give him relief.

Seeing that Yu Zhiming was really angry, and afraid of making her master angry again, Song Xinfang could only sigh slightly and stopped talking.

Forget it, so be it, maybe he has no ability to change Shihutang at all.
