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

During the Chinese New Year, although Chen Xi and his family only had him and his grandfather, and the population was simple, they were not deserted at all, because now Chen Xi also took in apprentices, and there were still four apprentices.

In the field of cross talk, every "three festivals and two birthdays", apprentices must go to the master's house to visit and visit. Although it is a new society, these old principles are no longer valued, but as people engaged in traditional folk art industry, in In the process of learning art, more or less, they are still educated in many traditional etiquette.

This gift cannot be discarded.

After Chen Xi and his grandfather celebrated the New Year at Han Tianye's house, Chen Xike was waiting for his four apprentices to visit during this New Year's festival.



On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Jiqingtang ushered in a large-scale unpacking.

It’s still a special performance, it’s still a cross talk and Peking Opera flower show, it’s still wonderful, and it’s still a show ticket that’s in short supply...

As the four most popular teams at the moment, all members participated in the unboxing performance. As for the unboxing of their own small theater, it will have to wait until they are busy with the special performance.

But before Chen Xi and the others ushered in the unpacking of their small theater, who would have known that the first thing they ushered in was the notice of new year's out-of-town performances.



"My hometown, hey, I live in that village..."

"I am a native of this village..."

Sitting on the high-speed train to Shenyang, Bai Ruining and Chi Ruize couldn't help singing softly in excitement.

The strong Northeast style seems to take people to the small village in the Northeast immediately.

"That's enough, stop singing, I know I'm going home, but I'm so excited." Xu Fenglai smiled and shook his head.

Chen Xi, Han Tianye, Zhao Longqi, Fang Zuo, and Fang You who were sitting by the side couldn't help laughing.

It is said that the small theater they are going to go out this time is the branch theater located in Shenyang, Northeast China.

Before, Chen Xi and his team had such a successful opening in the Nanjing sub-theatre. This time, Li Chengyu did not even think about it, and sent Chen Xi and the others to open the show in the Northeast side, hoping to make Ji Qingtang a hit in the Northeast. .

Northeast is the hometown of Bai Ruining and Chi Ruize.

After the two returned to Beijing to participate in the unpacking, within a few days, they received a notice to go to the Shenyang branch theater to perform. They were so excited all of a sudden. This is the rhythm of going home to visit relatives!

"When I arrive in Shenyang, I will take you to barbecue. As the saying goes in Northeast China, 'heavy industry barbecue, light industry live broadcast', let me take you to experience heavy industry first."

No longer singing, Bai Ruining began to plan to take Chen Xi and the others to appreciate the Northeast style,

"By the way, I have also arranged for you the Shenyang chicken racks that were quite popular on the Internet before. There are grilled chicken racks, fried chicken racks, boiled chicken racks, and mixed chicken racks. You can find everything!"

"How do you know how to eat!"

It was the first time for his team to come back to Shenyang. Chi Ruize was afraid that people would think that Shenyang only had delicious food, so he immediately spread it to everyone.

"Shenyang is the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty. There is also a Shenyang Forbidden City here, which was established by Nurhachi; after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shenyang was also a heavy industry base for equipment manufacturing, and Liaoning Province was also known as the eldest son of the Republic... Now we are working hard to restore the eight scenic spots in Shengjing... "

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Chi Ruize eager to popularize science.

Sure enough, I love my hometown!

It is still during the Chinese New Year holiday, and there are very few passengers on the high-speed rail, but this is also very good, at least there is no need to be afraid of being watched.

The high-speed train from Beijing to Shenyang is very fast, and it took less than three hours to reach the train station.

After leaving the station, Chen Xi and the others took two taxis and went directly to the branch theater in Shenyang.

When taking a taxi, the taxi driver heard their Beijing accent and asked them if they came to Shenyang during the Chinese New Year, whether they were visiting relatives or visiting.

Chen Xi didn't say that he came to perform, he just said he came to play.

Good guy, this sentence immediately aroused the chatterbox of the driver brother. It was like introducing Shenyang to Chen Xi and the others in more detail than Bai Ruining and Chi Ruize.

At this time, Chen Xi finally felt what happened to the outsiders who came to the Northeast on Weibo.

There is no barrier at all, you can talk about any topic!

For example, if you are driving, you will be asked how much you bought the car and is it easy to drive; if you are eating, you will be asked, is your dish delicious?

This is the enthusiasm of Northeast people!

After a while, when they arrived at the place, everyone got off with their luggage.

Chen Xi did not forget to thank the driver brother.

During the chat, the elder brother not only introduced Shenyang, but also talked about his family situation.

"This is too enthusiastic, I even know that his child is going to junior high school this year!"

As the taxi drove away, Chen Xi said something emotional, which made everyone laugh.

Afterwards, everyone turned their attention to the surrounding area. When they saw the same red walls and glazed tiles as the Forbidden City in Beijing, they suddenly realized that the branch theater in Shenyang was actually next to the Forbidden City in Shenyang.

"Our small theater in Beijing is near the Forbidden City in Beijing. I didn't expect that the sub-theater in Shenyang is also next to the Forbidden City. It seems that we are the fate of the imperial city." Fang Zuo came to the evidence.

Everyone laughed, the child's words were interesting.

"Actually, this is the business district of Shenyang and the center of Shenyang as a whole. It may be because of these reasons that the branch theater is arranged here." Chi Ruize introduced to everyone.

"Although it is a business district, as far as I know, Shenyang North Market was as famous as Beijing Tianqiao and Tianjin Quanyechang back then, and Shenyang's folk artists all performed there." At this time, Han Tianye suddenly proposed Questioning, he couldn't help looking at Chen Xi while speaking.

Chen Xi smacked his forehead and remembered that he forgot to tell everyone about the location of the sub-theater.

"Actually, at the beginning, I wanted to arrange it in the North Market, but the eight scenic spots in Shengjing are being restored there, and the whole street is under construction. In the end, Senior Brother Li Chengyu thought twice and chose the business district here. Now there are also Many small folk theaters are open, and the folk atmosphere is quite strong, so there is definitely no need to worry about the flow of customers.”

The explanation was almost finished, everyone took their luggage and started to head to the branch theater.

When they passed by a theater named "Zhongjie Grand Theater" with a particularly festive decoration and a special taste of the New Year, they all stopped.

"This is a duo theater, right?" Chen Xi asked Bai Ruining and Chi Ruize.

"That's right, the commercial street here is called Zhongjie, so this theater is named Zhongjie Grand Theater."

Chi Ruize introduced,

"It's said that some of the more famous duo actors in the past and even now came from this theater, and the person who founded this theater is also a national treasure-level duo actor!"

Looking at the big red paper-cut animals, colorful handkerchiefs, and donkey-made decorations, it seemed that the familiar melody of duo immediately sounded in my ears.

To say that there are still many similarities between Errenzhuan and cross talk, both belong to folk art.

Errenzhuan is based on "Yangge base, lotus falling border", and the Taiping lyrics in the cross talk are evolved from lotus falling; Errenzhuan's performance style also has the theory of learning and singing, but if you strictly distinguish it, Errenzhuan belongs to the tradition A kind of drama.

Compared with the somewhat calm performance style of cross talk, Errenzhuan's stage-style performance is very explosive, and it is almost full of fans.

Although they are all folk grassroots arts, what Chen Xi thought of was another matter.

He was afraid of the re-enactment of the incident at the Nanjing branch theater, after all, it was all the cheese that touched the local traditional culture.

There is still a lot of competition among cross talk groups, not to mention other folk art groups, especially now that more and more people listen to cross talk in China, and it is even more popular than sketches and talk shows. On bearing grudges.

As if he knew what Chen Xi was worried about, Bai Ruining smiled and reassured his master:

"Master, the owner of this theater, Daze and I know each other well. He is a very nice person. In the beginning, when we were studying in art school, we even came here for an internship."

Hearing that it was acquaintance rather than acquaintance, Chen Xi nodded and said that everything would be fine when they met each other.

Everyone didn't stay long, and continued to walk towards the branch theater.

The Zhongjie Grand Theater is located on the north-south street, while the branch theater of Jiqingtang is on the northwest side. Chen Xi and his party turned a corner at the intersection, went up the commercial street, and saw it within a few steps. The branch theater of Jiqingtang.

An antique theater decorated with a facade.

Although it is the Chinese New Year period, the shopping malls here have opened for business one after another, and people who are on vacation are not afraid of the severe cold to go shopping. Seeing that there are more and more people on the middle street.

Regardless of the fact that it is winter, Chen Xi and his group of eight are all fully armed in order to resist the winter that is more severe than Beijing: hats, masks, scarves, and three layers of clothes inside and outside. They almost wrap themselves into a ball, but still He was recognized by sharp-eyed fans.

Within seconds, they were surrounded.

Chen Xi and the others really felt that this group of fans had sharp eyes, they were already wrapped up like this, yet they could still recognize them.

"Yesterday Jiqingtang announced that the Shenyang sub-theater has opened. Today, 8 people came to the entrance of the sub-theater. No matter what you think, it belongs to you."

"Brother Xi, you guys are still broken!"

"Hahaha!"

While resisting the cold, the fans laughed and took out their mobile phones to take pictures of Chen Xi and the others.

"It's too cold, everyone keep warm. We'll go in first. Tonight is the first day of performance. I hope everyone will support you." Looking at the girls whose faces were flushed from the cold, Chen Xi couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, he had already reached the entrance of the branch theater, and the staff who heard the noise had already opened the door. After Chen Xi finished speaking, he quickly walked in with his team members.

Although Chen Xi and his group entered the sub-theater, the fans at the gate still did not leave, and the fans who got the news gathered more and more, and finally took photos with the sub-theater gate.

"You are here."

After everyone entered the theater, a middle-aged woman in a suit walked up to her. She was slightly fat and had a smile on her face. From her appearance, she could tell that she was a cheerful person. She was the director of the Shenyang Branch Theater of Jiqingtang. Manager - Li Ru.

"Hello, Manager Li!" Chen Xi, the captain of the performance team, took the lead to shake hands with her.

"Come in and get warm." Sister Li greeted everyone in Chen Xi, and asked the staff to make a pot of hot tea for everyone.

Manager Li led Chen Xi and the others into the performance hall of the small theater.

The performance hall and the backstage here are all uniformly decorated in a small theater. There is nothing unusual about it. After all, the audience is here to watch your performance, not a model room.

After looking around, everyone finally sat under the stage.

Several people sat around two tables, drank hot tea, and finally got warmer.

"Drink some hot water first, and then I'll take you to the place where you live. After packing up your luggage, I'll take you to eat some delicious food." Manager Li said, standing up to refill tea for everyone.

"Let me come, Sister Li." Chen Xi stood up and wanted to grab the water bottle, but was stopped by Manager Li.

"It's okay, it's okay, you sit down!"

The enthusiasm of the Northeast people seems to have been rooted in their bones.

Seeing that everyone warmed up, Manager Li took Chen Xi to their place.

The place where I live is very close to the Fen Theater, only one street away, and it is a fast hotel.

On the way to this hotel, Chen Xi's eyes blurred and he stood still. He thought he was wrong.

"Lion and Tiger Hall also has a branch theater here?"

Chen Xi pointed to the same antique-decorated front door, and looked at the crowd in surprise. The plaque on it was impressively written with the three characters of 'Lion and Tiger Hall'.

Everyone looked over and was a little surprised for a while.

"That's right, don't you know, it's also newly opened this year, but it hasn't been advertised yet." Manager Li explained from the side.

Speaking of which, as a local, she still runs a theater, so she knows all about the movements of these folk groups.

I really don't know, because senior brother Li Chengyu didn't tell him, and he has been too busy recently with various performances, so he really hasn't paid much attention to the movements of his fellow Shihutang.

Unexpectedly, Lion Tiger Hall's branch theater in Shenyang is now diagonally opposite them.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi frowned suddenly. It wasn't his conspiracy theories, nor his unfounded worries. In Shenyang's commercial district, three well-known folk art groups in China directly gathered: one is a leading local Errenzhuan group, and the other two It's a cross talk group, if there's a little friction, it's not as lively as usual...

Thinking about it, he felt that he had to tell Li Chengyu anyway.

Ignoring the sub-theater of the Lion and Tiger Hall, everyone checked into the hotel. After putting down their luggage, Manager Li took them to a reception banquet with Northeast characteristics.

After resting at the hotel in the afternoon, in the evening, Chen Xi's performance team started their first performance in Northeast China.

Even though the north wind was howling and the cold wind outside, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the audience, and a long queue formed at the entrance of the theater after a while.
