Jiang Qifeng didn't know that since the end of Dongcheng's [-]th anniversary performance, the evaluation of him on the Internet and in the circle of peers has gradually changed.

In the past two months, he was still full of abuse and accusations, and he was accused of deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors. Now there are more objective voices, and his works are evaluated and approved from a professional perspective.

Just like this, Jiang Qifeng is already a favorite in Dongcheng Tea House.

Xia Yuan was not the only one who wanted to rush to partner with him, but Xia Yuan took advantage of his good personal relationship with Shen Shaoguang, so he took the lead in attacking quickly, and won the victory before the other actors could react.

This matter was spread in the backstage, and the actors talked a lot in private, the fans envied Xia Yuan's promising future, and the funny ones made bitter remarks about Jiang Qifeng from time to time.

"Jiang Qifeng is just a young actor. Boss Tang personally offered him an olive branch, and even asked him to play second to third. None of our seniors are treated like this. Why should he?"

"Didn't you see that many popular actors in the agency have moved their minds on him? He is famous and sought after."

Changing partners was completely unexpected, but now that the matter has been decided, Jiang Qifeng will naturally cooperate well and get to know each other and get familiar with Xia Yuan.

In the first half a month, the two of them would go to the backstage three hours early every day, whether it was chatting or working, they would definitely not be idle anyway.

"I have an idea." Jiang Qifeng looked at Xia Yuan with his chin resting, and said solemnly: "I always thought that our ethics should be restrained, and if we say it occasionally, it's just a joke. If you talk too much, it will inevitably appear vulgar."

The truth is right, but it's not yet time to reason.

Xia Yuan retorted: "We are not an elegant art in the first place. Isn't it just to make the audience laugh when we talk about cross talk on stage? If one day we become a role, then I agree with what you said, we must pay attention to the connotation, not just be silly. But We haven't made it yet, it's too early to talk about elegance."

Jiang Qifeng waved his fan and said: "It's all to make the audience laugh, why does it have to be an ethical joke? The audience doesn't just listen to fathers and sons."

"You can't change the traditional work." Xia Yuan said impatiently: "Don't worry about it until we reach that point."

The two argued endlessly about this, trying to convince each other, but everyone has their own ideas, and the most difficult thing in the world is to pour your own ideas into other people's brains.

In the end, Jiang Qifeng didn't bring it up any more. Let's just let this matter go and shelve it if it doesn't make sense. Anyway, it's not an urgent issue. Between partners, the most important thing is peace.

July and August are the peak seasons for tourism, and the business of Dongcheng Tea House is also booming.

As the most mature and stable crosstalk club in Beijing in the past ten years, Dongcheng has already gained a good reputation, attracting many foreign tourists to enter the yard to listen to crosstalk.

During the past two months, Tang Chong'an laughed out loud while reading the accounts, most of the actors were too tired to speak every day.

The partnership between Jiang Qifeng and Xia Yuan did not disappoint. The two got along well with each other through daily performances, and also experienced the trials and tests of audiences from all over the country.

Both the response speed of the show and the overall rhythm of the program have reached a new level.

The performance in the evening had just ended, and after the audience left, the melon seeds and peels were left all over the ground, waiting for the waiters in the garden to clean them one by one.

The lights on the stage had already been turned off, and the last performers who saved their money cleaned up the eye-catching folding fans on the table, wiped their sweat with a handkerchief, and turned back to the backstage.

"It's September, does Shen Shaoguang start school?" Jiang Qifeng accidentally saw the calendar on the wall and asked casually.

Sitting next to his temporary partner, Shen Shaoguang accidentally saw Xia Yuan whispering in Jiang Qifeng's ear with his script book when he looked up, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.

After digesting for a while, I replied: "Yes, there are many classes this semester, so I should only come to perform on weekends."

What Xia Yuan whispered into Jiang Qifeng's ear just now was: "Let's think about performing a group talk during the National Day holiday. There will definitely be a lot of audience during the holidays."

Jiang Qifeng only waved his hand as a response, and quickly moved his eyes away from Xia Yuan, looked at Shen Shaoguang and asked with a smile, "Would you like to have a drink later?"

Shen Shaoguang returned a polite smile: "I'm sorry brother, I have to go back to the dormitory tonight, and I should report tomorrow."

-

On the night of the first Friday in September, Jiang Qifeng asked for leave.As for the reason... Jiang Qifeng was also very helpless, Jiang Hua left school at around 04:30 on Friday afternoon, and Jiang's mother asked him to pick him up on time.

Jiang Qifeng received his younger brother to get on the subway, and looked down at the time on the phone screen. It was still early, but it must be too late to send his younger brother back, and then come out for a ride to the backstage.

Even if there is time, what will Jiang Hua do for dinner?

He held his younger brother in one hand and held the phone in the other. When he was almost downstairs, he received a call from Xia Yuan.

"Feng, are you back home?"

Jiang Qifeng let go of Jiang Hua's hand, took out the key to open the door, and at the same time replied to the receiver: "Just arrived, what's the matter, there is something backstage?"

"Hey, there's nothing wrong in the backstage, it's me, I want to do the right job with you..."

"This..." Jiang Qifeng hesitated. "But I'm bringing a child here, so don't make a fuss."

"What's the matter, let him go into the house and do his homework."

So, half an hour later, there was another guest at the door.

Xia Yuan entered the room and sat on the sofa, Jiang Qifeng poured him a cup of tea, Xia Yuan accidentally saw a big guy leaning against the corner, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"You can play the guitar?"

Jiang Qifeng followed his gaze, only to notice that the guitar bag that Jiang Hua carried all the way back just now was opened by him at some point, and the guitar was exposed and lay sideways on the corner of the wall.

"No, my brother is studying."

Xia Yuan glanced at the closed door, and whispered, "This thing is not cheap, you just buy this for him to get started?"

Jiang Qifeng was stunned: "This, is it expensive?"

Xia Yuan said: "That's not true! It's a good brand, six or seven thousand."

Jiang Qifeng probably understood what was going on, and he was suffocating in his heart. He just knew that Jiang Hua wanted to learn the guitar and his mother bought it without saying a word, but he never expected her to be so generous.

The partner was still sitting on the side, so he didn't have much to say, so he could only smile helplessly: "The old man loves the youngest son, and I didn't ask in detail. Let's not waste time, let's do the job."

After Xia Yuan left, Jiang Qifeng immediately called Jiang Hua out and asked him who bought the guitar and how much it cost. Jiang Hua quoted the price, which was exactly as Xia Yuan said.

"Do you think I'm a cash cow?"

Jiang Qifeng became anxious and yelled at him loudly.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hua also has a big temper, and she started yelling as soon as she sat on the ground, yelling, "Others learn the piano for more than 1 yuan, but you don't want me to learn the guitar! Parents didn't say anything, why do you have so much money?" Opinion!"

In a fit of anger, Jiang Qifeng called Jiang's mother, and when the call was connected, the two had a big fight.As before, Jiang Qifeng couldn't argue with his elderly mother.

Time passed quickly, and Jiang Qifeng had been in Dongcheng for more than half a year before he knew it, and it was the busiest time of the year again.At the end of the year and the end of the year, it is necessary to prepare for the sealing performance as usual.

Box sealing is a custom in Quyi. At the end of each year, each troupe will prepare for the last performance of the year. After the performance, they will seal the outfit into the box and paste a note saying "Sealing the box is auspicious". Wait until the end of the new year to come back and then open the box to perform.

Every time there is a box-sealing performance, not only the various clubs in the industry are fighting openly and secretly to seize the opportunity, even in the same club, there is constant competition among themselves.

Those who scramble for the show scramble for the show, those who scramble for the bottom line fight for the bottom line, and even fight for a period of time in which garden to perform.

"We have two choices. The first is to stay in the old garden in Dongcheng to start the show, and the second is to go to other gardens to compete for the bottom line." Xia Yuan looked at the news that Boss Tang sent in the group, and said thoughtfully.

Jiang Qifeng pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "Stay in the old garden as a foil for others? It's not worth it."

"Then let's fight for the bottom line?"

"Ah."

It's the beginning of November in the lunar calendar. Some people think that the idea of ​​sealing the box so early is too anxious, right?

In fact, not only ordinary actors are anxious, but the leaders above are also anxious. Tang Chongan has already bought one or two staff members in the Qulan Community Garden. Also compete with each other.

After suffering for more than half a month in the undercurrent, each family has their own ghosts, and they have already thought about the tricks.

The next day entered the twelfth lunar month, and the actors were ready to compete for the show.

No one will talk about this kind of thing in the background. Xia Yuan came early in the morning, and the embarrassing thing was that he ran into Tang Chongan as soon as he arrived at the door. Jiang Qifeng and Xie Yan opened the door almost at the same time. The four of them met each other and smiled. Both are a little stiff.

"Boss Tang is here to talk to Teacher Xie?"

"Yeah, so is Yuan'er?"

"No, no, Boss Tang misunderstood, I just have to work with Young Master Jiang."

After the two entered the room and closed the door, Jiang Qifeng asked him: "Aren't we just discussing what job to choose? Why do you even have to be wary of Boss Tang?"

Xia Yuan said solemnly: "Being defensive is essential. It may not be necessary at ordinary times, but box sealing is different. Boss Tang only performs a few times a year? Who doesn't want to shine when sealing the box? However, if he Competing for the program doesn't necessarily want to overwhelm us, it's to compete with other companies..."

The two sat on the sofa, drinking tea while watching the news of other actors in the group.

Xia Yuan was thoughtful, and it took a while before he made up his mind, and opened his mouth to suggest: "The last time the anniversary commercial performance didn't grab "Picking the Jacket", how about making up for the regret this time?"

But Jiang Qifeng said: "No need, it's not interesting to compete for these things, if you want to talk about it, just say that some people dare not act."

"It's just that the group talk is easy to mess up, and it's hard to be an actor..."

"No, no, don't talk in groups."

Xia Yuan didn't understand what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Jiang Qifeng smiled and turned to look at him: "How about "The Bodyguard"?"
