Chapter 7 A good start is half the battle
The two washed their faces, changed into T-shirts, and walked out of the teahouse through the back door.
It was past five o'clock in the afternoon and the weather was still very hot. Xiong Dawei and the others didn't care and walked along the road to a small shop.
It's not even dinner time, there are not many people in the store.
Wei Liangfu first ordered a plate of his favorite pork head meat. Without saying a word, the two of them first drank a bottle of cold beer, burped, and smiled at each other.
There is a saying that a good start is half the success.
Today, the two of them started well.
Of course, there are also shortcomings. Neither of them are professional crosstalk actors and have no performance experience, so they are inevitably not very good at expressing their emotions.
Fortunately, Wei Liangfu is very fat and chubby, and he looks very funny. He can make the audience laugh by standing on the stage and making two expressions.
Xiong Dawei watched the crosstalk dozens of times and just imitated it.
The two of them had a casual meal and discussed the evening show. They must not say the jokes they had said in the afternoon, and they had to change them.
You have to think about what to change.
After dinner, I arrived at the dressing room in the backstage early.
The evening is the highlight of the teahouse, and most of the people who appear on the stage are regular actors, and the audiences in the evening are also aimed at these regular actors.
The dressing room was much more lively than in the afternoon. There were eight or nine people sitting there, and people kept coming in and out.
No one knew Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu, and no one came forward to say hello to them, and they pretended that they could not see them.
Xiong Dawei pulled Wei Liangfu and sat in the corner, watching the people inside, watching them handing cigarettes, drinking tea, and having sex.
There are singers here, some perform acrobatics, some perform burlesques, and a pair of their colleagues, who are also crosstalk.
Some people came in at the junction, put on makeup quickly and then went on stage. After the performance, they left in a hurry, as if someone was chasing him behind.
The host lady suddenly walked in and said something to two of them, and the two suddenly started arguing.
"What's going on? Why did we transfer it to 7:30."
The two looked very unhappy, surrounded the female host on the left and right.
“Isn’t it eight:30 every day?”
The female host looked at them angrily, looking like she was doing business, and said, "Manager Huang arranged it, why don't you ask him to go?"
The two of them looked at each other and sat back without saying a word. They quickly focused their doubts on Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu.
Maybe I guessed that these two newcomers snatched their place.
His face became increasingly ugly.
It was almost half past seven. The two of them got up and snorted dissatisfied when they passed by Xiong Dawei.
After the show, I threw my clothes and left with a tantrum.
Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu looked at each other and shrugged at the same time. The other party was angry, but it didn't matter to them.
At about nine o'clock, the host came to inform Xiong Dawei in person with a sweet smile, and then jumped away.
Wei Liangfu tsk twice and shook his head and said, "This is a good-looking person and is popular everywhere."
Xiong Dawei said angrily: "I would rather not look very good."
In this way, the original owner would not have the dream of an actor, and he would not have the mission of the actor as a hell difficulty, and he would be much easier to live.
That's the same thing as it is now, and you have to make money by speaking crosstalk to support yourself.
"I'm really miserable." Xiong Dawei said in his heart.
The lights on the stage at night were very bright, and under the dazzling lights, the audience around them couldn't see clearly.
There are still a lot of people, and you can sit upstairs and downstairs for 70% or 80% of them.
The crowds were filled with noises and there was a buzzing sound in the venue. The customers didn't pay much attention to the stage and talked about their own conversations.
Teahouses are actually just pointing at nightclubs to make money.
Most of the guests in the teahouse are middle-aged male office workers in their forties and fifties.
They have eight in the morning and five in the morning and have no place to go after work.
The TV at home, from five to seven o'clock, the remote control is in the hands of the children, and the children have to watch cartoons.
From seven to ten o'clock, the remote control is in their wives' hands, and the wives are watching TV series.
Only after ten o'clock can middle-aged men get the remote control and check out their favorite evening variety shows and sports channels.
Not only are there many guests coming to the teahouse at night, but the cost of the guests is also high.
Middle-aged men with heads of the family generally have the ability to consume.
They order two pots of tea or two pots of wine, a few plates of snacks, and a side dish.
Asking a few old friends, going to the teahouse to drink and chat has become a good way of entertainment.
When the show on the stage is exciting, watch it for a while, and if it is not good, I will chat about the mountain and drink a few drinks. After sitting until ten o'clock, I will go home staggeringly.
After Wei Liangfu laid the foundation for the opening, he soon began to shake his burden.
"There is a house at home, which is specially for house money. After opening it, everything from the ground to the code is money. There are dozens of new tickets, and each one comes with the Jade Emperor printed on it."
"That's the ghost coin!"
"I'm so rich. Can I buy so many ghost coins without money?"
The two quickly attracted the attention of the audience.
Wei Liangfu's jokes are full of jokes, and they are just one in a few seconds.
A few minutes later, no one chatted in the venue, only the voices of Wei Liangfu and Xiong Dawei were left.
From time to time, people applauded and cheered, and the atmosphere in the audience reached a climax.
After the forty-minute crosstalk was spoken, applause rang out, and someone stood up and shouted loudly: "One more, another one."
The two of them bowed and were about to step down. Suddenly, a waiter was holding two flower baskets on the stage and shouted loudly: "Mr. Zhao brought two flower baskets."
Wei Liangfu looked happy and pulled Xiong Dawei to bow to the audience, saying, "Thank you, thank you, the audience is too proud and dare not take it."
Many viewers also shouted: "Another part."
Wei Liangfu turned his head to look at the side of the stage. The host lady hid behind the scenes, nodded to them, and made a cheerful gesture.
Wei Liangfu understood and pulled Xiong Dawei and stood back, saying, "Thank you everyone, everyone is willing to listen, so let's say a few more paragraphs."
“…”
After talking for another twenty minutes, the two of them stood on the stage for an hour. After stepping down, they were sweating profusely and even their backs were wet.
Wei Liangfu bent down, supported his knees with both hands and gasped, and looked at Xiong Dawei with a silly smile.
Immediately afterwards, they were a group of singers. When they passed by, they looked at the two of them curiously and smiled politely at them.
The host sister got off the stage, grabbed Xiong Dawei himself, and pointed out the location of the account room for the two.
Their salary is paid daily, and every day is considered a day.
Xiong Dawei received the labor income today, a total of 310 yuan, and it was packed in an envelope.
He looked at Wei Liangfu unexpectedly and asked in confusion: "Why are there two hundred more?"
Manager Huang agreed with them that he would play fifty in the afternoon and one hundred in the evening.
Wei Liangfu squinted his eyes and smiled, saying, "I give the flower basket money, which is equivalent to tipping us. One hundred flowers basket, we can get eighty."
Xiong Dawei bounced the envelope with his finger and said, "Go, go and pick up the skewers."
Before leaving the teahouse, Manager Huang also found them specially and told them to come on time tomorrow.
When they got in the car and went home, the car parked downstairs, the two of them walked out of the apartment, found a food stall nearby, and had a great meal.
After eating and drinking, go home and wash, pour it on the bed and sleep.
Xiong Dawei slept very peacefully and could make money for the time being, so he would have no worries.
As for future events, let’s talk about them after they are stable.
