=================

Another two years later.

After parking the car in the parking space in front of Jiqingtang Theater, Chen Xi opened the door and got out of the car.

The cold north wind almost blows him away.

Although it is now the beginning of spring, the wind is still quite cool on the body.

Chen Xi wrapped his clothes tightly, closed the car door, and rushed into the Jiqingtang theater with his neck shrunk.

Enter the theater building, go upstairs, and come all the way to Li Chengyu's office on the third floor.

After knocking on the door, Chen Xi pushed the door open and walked in after agreeing.

At this time, there were already four people sitting in the room, and there were three other people besides Li Chengyu.

In terms of seniority, these three are considered Chen Xi's juniors, and two of them are the captains of the first team and the second team of the present Jiqingtang performance team.

The first team and the second team perform in the small garden beside Sanlitun and Tianqiao all the year round.

Chen Xi said hello, found a seat and sat down.

Seeing that everyone was here, Li Chengyu started.

"It's like this. I'm calling everyone over for a meeting today. I want to announce that we have formed a new performance team, which is the third team. From now on, Hou Limin and Junior Brother Hou will be the captains."

Apparently the captain of the first team and the second team knew the news, and their expressions were not that surprised. Although Chen Xi had just learned the news, he felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, so his expression did not change much. .

What he was more curious about was why this kind of thing would call him over.

The newly appointed captain of the third team blushed, smiled at everyone and cupped his hands:

"Thank you for the cultivation of Jiqingtang, and also thank you brothers and sisters. In the future, I will bring my performance team and continue to add luster to our Jiqingtang."

Seeing Chen Xi's doubts, Li Chengyu smiled and said, "Chen Xi, don't you know why you were called here?"

Chen Xi looked at the two captains present and the newly appointed captain of the third team, and nodded.

The other three were a little funny when they saw Chen Xi's expression.

"You have stayed in Youranju for two years, and you have accepted two apprentices, don't you have any ideas?"

"What idea?" Chen Xi didn't get to that point at all.

"It's good to talk about cross talk, but it's a wooden fish head in this matter." The captain of the second team patted his big bald head and laughed.

The captain of the first team quickly reminded Chen Xi: "Now this Youranju should be said to be your own small garden, wouldn't it be great for you to set up a performance team?"

"That's right, if you get a performance team, Jiqingtang will also give you strong support. You have to take advantage of such a good location." The newly appointed captain of the third team also said with a smile.

We must know that the performance of the performance team is not only a problem of the performance team members, but also the choice of the venue. Now Chen Xi is obviously a "dominant snake" in Youranju. The relationship between the boss and the manager is very good, and they trust Chen Xi, so Chen Xi It's a matter of course that I like to get a performance team.

Chen Xi suddenly realized.

That's right, now that he already has two apprentices, if he recruits two or three more, it will be the standard equipment for a performance team.

You must know that this performance team sells tickets every day, but it is much better than earning that dead salary.

Chen Xi couldn't help but fell into deep thought, thinking that this matter should really be thought about carefully.

Seeing that Chen Xi took this matter to heart, Li Chengyu nodded.

Afterwards, everyone talked about Jiqingtang and various performance teams, and the meeting came to an end.

It is also rare for Li Chengyu to send off several captains.

A group of people left the office and went down the stairs. At this moment, the noise in the performance hall caught their attention.

I saw two young men, with anxious faces, discussing something with the gatekeeper of Jiqing Hall.

After Li Chengyu saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire. Chen Xi and the other captains also followed curiously.

Only when they got closer did everyone know that these two people came from the Northeast, they wanted to learn cross talk, and they hoped to be able to worship in Jiqing Hall.

Seeing these two young men from the Northeast, disheveled and packed with bags, even the bedding rolls, the captains couldn't help feeling a little bit sad.

"It really came here from outside."

"Looking at this is also suffering."

"This heart is quite sincere, just for this point, if the young man can do it, it doesn't matter if he stays."

Listening to the three captains discussing over there, Chen Xi sized up the two young men.

It seems that he is really on a journey, and he looks not too old, only around 20.

After understanding the situation here, Li Chengyu said: "Well, you guys show us first. If there is potential, the captain of the performance team is also here to see if we can accept the two of you."

The two young men quickly thanked them.

After that, Li Chengyu sat in the auditorium with the three captains and Chen Xi.

Looking around, everyone was a little shocked.

These two people really don't know anything, they know how to play duets.

Even if it is a cross talk written and directed by the two of them, it is also adapted from the mouth of the two.

Through the introduction of the two, they also know that these two are students of the Northeast Opera Academy, and they are studying Errenzhuan.

The final result can be imagined, Ji Qingtang could not accept it.

Knowing the result, one of the young people cried out, saying that no matter what, he still hoped to have cross talk at Jiqingtang.

Li Chengyu also patiently explained to them: "It's not that we don't accept it, and the second is that the style of Errenzhuan in you is too strong. If you are a blank sheet of paper, it is easy to teach, but if you have learned Errenzhuan, if you learn cross talk again , In the end, the nondescript behavior will harm you, and I kindly persuade you to do so."

"You two have come all the way, we can't lie to you, can't we?"

"The two of you are really not suitable for cross talk. Why don't you learn Errenzhuan well. I think you will make great achievements if you continue to study."

The other three captains also helped Li Chengyu persuade.

In the end, the two young people also knew that they were useless. After all, Ji Qingtang's family members had spoken, so they could only leave dejectedly with their own bedrolls.

"Young people nowadays really have a lot of energy."

"Actually, these two children are good-natured, and have the temperament of breaking the boat, but this way is a bit biased."

Everyone talked for a while, and after greeting Li Chengyu, the three captains and Chen Xi left Jiqing Hall one after another.

When Chen Xi bid farewell to the others and wanted to pick up the car, he immediately saw two people sitting on the curb beside him, they were the two young men from the Northeast just now.

The backgrounds of the two were really down and out, Chen Xi thought about it, and finally walked over.

After a while, there was a stewed restaurant on Qianmen Street.

Chen Xi looked at the two young men on the opposite side, snoring and eating the braised stew in the bowl, a little funny: "Eat slowly."

One of the young men nodded, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he thanked Chen Xi: "Brother Xi, thank you, the money we brought out is too little, we are not even willing to eat breakfast."

The young man who spoke was named Bai Xiaochen. He had a straight head and a fair appearance. He was quite good-looking.

And the classmate next to him is named Chi Zhong, who looks a little aloof and doesn't talk much, and now he only has the words "Thank you brother Xi", and Bai Xiaochen is talking about the rest.

"What are your plans for the future, are you going back to the Northeast?" Chen Xi asked.

Bai Xiaochen glanced at Chi Zhong beside him, and said the decision they had discussed before: "We have discussed before, if we can't enter the Jiqingtang, then we won't go back, and we will hang out in Beijing and find a job , learn cross talk while working, anyway, we are determined to learn cross talk.”

Chi Zhong on the side nodded in agreement.

"Cross talk has such a great charm for you?" Chen Xi was really curious this time.

Bai Xiaochen grabbed his autobiographical paper, feeling a little embarrassed: "The main thing is, isn't cross talk popular now? We think that if we talk about cross talk, work will not be a problem in the future, and the income will be more."

"It's mainly about money." Chi Zhong added helplessly.

Chen Xi understood. If cross talk is compared with Errenzhuan, then cross talk has a relatively stable income.

He doesn't know much about Errenzhuan, but he has heard about this industry.

Generally, students from opera schools join various theater troupes just like cross talk actors.

But now the Errenzhuan market is not so good, and the income is also high and low. If it is compared with cross talk and Errenzhuan, it is better to choose cross talk to be more reliable.

And since you choose to talk about cross talk, you must find a large cross talk group.

It's no wonder that these two young men traveled all the way from the northeast to Jiqingtang to learn from them.

"And we really like cross talk."

"Yes."

Fearing that Chen Xi would not believe it, in this small restaurant, these two people gave Chen Xi another cross talk on the spot.

Although the content of this cross talk is different from the cross talk performed by the two of them in Jiqing Hall just now, it still has nothing to do with cross talk. After two or three sentences, it was interrupted by Chen Xi:

"Okay, okay, I know your hard work, but I really don't want to hurt you, what you're talking about is really not cross talk."

The two young men in front of them lowered their heads.

Chen Xi sighed:

"Well, you come with me in a while, and I will find you a job as a waiter. You will work there first, and I will also perform cross talk in that teahouse. You can listen to it first, learn it, and see if you can understand it. What to do, during the part-time job, you should also think about it carefully, what should you do in the future."

Hearing what Chen Xi said, the two young people raised their heads to look at Chen Xi again, with a hint of hope in their eyes.

"You mean, do you want to accept us?" Bai Xiaochen was a little surprised, and Chi Zhong looked at Chen Xi with bright eyes.

"I didn't say that. I'm just looking for a job for you first. I also see that you are not familiar with the place where you live. I'm afraid that you will be cheated. It depends on you what you will do in the future."

Although Chen Xi didn't accept them as disciples immediately, the two are still full of gratitude.

"no problem."

"Thank you Brother Xi!"

The reason why Chen Xi thought of introducing jobs to these two people was because of the recent increase in the number of customers at Youranju, and Manager Gao planned to recruit more waiters.

These two young people are good-natured, and they are quite capable of dealing with affairs. They are more than enough to be waiters.

Just like that, Chen Xi led Bai Xiaochen and Chi back to Youranju, and after speaking with Manager Gao, the two officially started work.

Chen Xi also investigated these two people secretly, and found that these two people were quite hardworking.

They usually work seriously and responsibly, and when Chen Xi performs every day, the two of them stand in the corner, listening and studying quietly. Occasionally, when they have nothing to do, they will ask Chen Xi for advice.

Chen Xi didn't hide it either, and taught carefully.

In this way, day after day, month after month, Chen Xi discovered that the fact that these two people learned Errenzhuan was not the reason why they could not speak cross talk, but Chen Xi thought that maybe they could combine Errenzhuan and cross talk together.

In this way, Chen Xi's experiment began, and he slowly guided Bai Xiaochen and Chi Zhong to perform a cross talk unique to them.

This cross talk seems to have a funny two-person turn, but the technique inside is still the cross talk technique.

One day, Chen Xi's experiment finally succeeded, that is, on that day, he accepted Bai Xiaochen and Chi Zhong as apprentices, and personally gave them names, and thus, there were Bai Ruining and Chi Ruize.

It was originally a great happy event, but who knew that this overthrew the vinegar jar, and this vinegar jar was the twins, Fang Zuo and Fang You.

Chen Xi never thought that recruiting apprentices was so troublesome, and the apprentices could still compete with each other to be jealous.

The reason is actually so ridiculous.

Now that Fang Zuo and Fang You are minors, Chen Xi didn't accept them easily. Although they are well-matched as masters and apprentices, they didn't show their names. Therefore, Bai Ruining and Chi Ruize were the first to become senior brothers.

Fang Zuofang is so angry that he always finds troubles with Bai Ruining and Chi Ruize; and Bai Ruining and Chi Ruize also feel that the twins are always pretending to be children and are tired of Chen Xi, so from time to time, these four people will fight together .

During that time, Chen Xi had a terrible headache. He felt that he had provoked someone, and he was obviously trying to help others out of good intentions.

Fortunately, at this time, Bai Ruining, Chi Ruize, Fang Zuo, and Fang You were already able to perform on stage. Chen Xi decided to apply to Li Chengyu to form a performance team. If he had the energy to fight, he might as well be on stage.

Seeing that Chen Xi finally decided to form a performance team, Yupei was also very pleased. After all, he also hoped that Jiqingtang could have multiple performance teams, so that the overall income of Jiqingtang would increase and its reputation would further expand;

Manager Gao raised his hands to welcome You Ranju. After getting along with him for the past few years, he already regarded Chen Xi as his own brother, and he also took care of Chen Xi's four apprentices. Their cross talk skills are very good. Chen Xi will form a performance team sooner or later, if they are not in Youranju, they will be in other places, so it would be better for Chen Xi and the others to stay in Youranju.

Besides, Grandma Jin, the owner of Youranju, also likes Chen Xi's cross talk, even if it's just to win the happiness of the old man, she has to keep Chen Xi and the others.

All parties agree that Chen Xi has started to prepare, but there is still a problem, that is, there are not enough people in their performance team.

For the time being, we will use his stand-up comedy to support the stage, and then add Fang Zuo, Fang You, Bai Ruining, and Chi Ruize's cross talk. .

When Chen Xi was worried, two people came to the door and applied to join.

It was also the first time for Chen Xi to encounter the matter of dozing off and giving pillows, but after careful understanding, he found that it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
