Hou Yuewen is the direct descendant of Hou's crosstalk.

Recently, some troubles have happened in his family.

The matter is not complicated. To put it simply, the couple is not getting along and wants to divorce.

But the reason behind the matter is "heartwarming", which is what makes him upset.

Mr. Hou Sanye had been married before, and his ex-wife was an actress in the Railway Art Troupe.

But in those days, even with Mr. Hou Sanye's status in the crosstalk circle, it was still difficult for him to make a lot of money from crosstalk performances.

So like Brother Qian, he chose to make money by filming TV series and movies.

Gradually, he became estranged from his ex-wife.

At the same time, he met his second wife, who graduated from Beijing Film Academy, on the crew.

This man is more than 20 years younger than Mr. Hou Sanye and is an actor. His figure and appearance are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The two soon got married and had a daughter.

But Mr. Hou Sanye was too busy with work. Not only did he have to film, he also had to perform in various parts of the country.

Even after the 911/ incident at the Lighthouse, he went with the troupe to New York to perform for overseas Chinese, to comfort the frightened souls of overseas Chinese who had nowhere to go.

Whenever he is busy, the girl at home has to stay alone in the empty room.

There is a traditional crosstalk program called "Entrusting Wife and Son", which tells the story of a man who has to go out to perform and cannot return home, so he asks his best friend to take care of his wife. In the end, the best friend hooks up with his wife.

Crosstalk is all made up, but sometimes it is real.

Hou Yuewen asked Dai Zhicheng, who is also a crosstalk artist, to help look after the child.

If we talk about seniority in the crosstalk world, Hou Yuewen's father Hou Baolin is an old actor of the Bao generation.

The eldest brother of the Bao generation is named Zhao Peiru.

There are rules in the crosstalk industry, and you can’t teach your own children.

Just like Guo Qilin pays respect to Brother Qian, Guo Xiaobao, no, Yu Xiaobao pays respect to Teacher Guo.

According to Brother Qian, this is called "hostage exchange."

Hou Baolin did the same and handed his son Hou Yuewen over to his senior brother Zhao Peiru for discipline.

Dai Zhicheng’s master is Li Boxiang, and Li Boxiang’s master is Zhao Peiru.

Therefore, Hou Yuewen and Dai Zhicheng are close master-disciple and uncle-nephew!
Hou Yuewen asked this nephew to help take care of his wife and daughter when he was not at home, and then...

A popular plot ensued.

At her age, at my age, people can be killed under my tongue. There are those who can talk but not listen, and I have to take them into consideration... slap, slap in the face, this!

As a result, people didn’t want it at all.

This person went to take care of it, but the care was too deep.

Not only was Mr. Hou Sanye cheated on, but the woman also asked for a divorce and wanted to live with his nephew.

This is so ugly!
The news has spread all over the crosstalk circle, that person lost it...

Why did Mr. Guo and Jiang Kun not get along so well in later generations?

Of course there is a dispute over status and stance. At the same time, Dai Zhicheng is also Jiang Kun's partner.

It can be considered as revenge for the master.

You said that this matter was happening in his family, and Zhang Guoli came to him and said that he had found several young actors who were very suitable to be his apprentices, and asked him to go and take a look. Could he have the mind to do so?

So as soon as he got off the car, his face looked unhappy.

"Hello, Teacher Hou." Guo Degang walked forward excitedly and shook the other person's hand vigorously.

But Mr. Hou Sanye Qi just gave a business smile and nodded in response.

"Teacher Hou." Brother Qian did the same, and the other party reacted the same way.

It was not until Zhang Yuan finally walked forward that Hou Yuewen's eyes changed and he narrowed his double eyelids, which had obvious signs of surgery.

This actress has flared double eyelids, but unlike those actresses, it is not for beauty, but because her inverted eyelashes affect her life, so she has to do it.

"You are... I've seen you. You've appeared in many TV dramas!" Teacher Hou pulled him over and pointed with his finger.

Guo Degang and Brother Qian looked at each other.

Look, Mr. Hou San didn't smile when he saw us, but he was enthusiastic when he saw Zhang Yuan.

"Someone mentioned him and promoted him at the Golden Horse Awards a few days ago." Uncle Guoli came forward and teased.

"Baby, you're very hot."

Although Shi Fukuan is Hou Yuewen's partner, because they have lived and eaten together in Sichuan and Chongqing for many years, Zhang Guoli and Hou Yuewen have a relationship no less than that of partners, and their relationship is very close.

"It's all a joke, a joke..." Zhang Yuan went backstage with a few people.

They asked a few young boys to make tea, and the three of them sat and chatted with the three seniors.

"The show is about to start, let's go change our clothes first." Teacher Guo and Brother Qian took their leave first.

When Mr. Hou San saw the two of them stand up, he also stood up, walked to the stage door alone and lifted the curtain.

"Oh..."

Looking around, most of the seats were already occupied before the show even started.

"Your business is doing well!" After seeing this scene, Mr. Hou San finally became interested.

There is no one who does not love this industry, and they all know how miserable this industry is now.

Ninety-nine percent of small gardens survive on free tickets and subsidies.

But it is not easy for them to have such business here.

"Okay." Mr. Hou San turned around and asked Zhang Yuan, "Are you running this place?"

"I'm just a hands-off boss. I'm too busy filming." Zhang Yuan told the truth.

"I do like crosstalk, but I've never studied it properly, and I don't have a master."

"Oh..." Mr. Hou San took a look and thought that he was an outsider, and his face became colder.

"But I did learn storytelling from Mr. Yuan."

"Which Mr. Yuan?"

"Yuan Kuocheng."

"Oh!" Master Hou San immediately clasped his hands and bowed to show his respect.

His complexion immediately became as bright as spring breeze.

Although the seniority levels in the storytelling and crosstalk circles are different, if you really count them, Mr. Yuan Kuocheng is of the Shou generation, and is one generation older than Hou Sanye's father Hou Baolin. How could the other party not respect him?

Zhang Yuan sighed again, Mr. Yuan is really useful.

Originally troubled by family issues, Mr. Hou San became interested when he saw the crowded place and a young man who was both an actor and a storyteller.

The irritability in my heart also subsided a little.

The show started with Li Jing's allegro again. Mr. Hou Sanye wasn't very interested, so he just drank tea with Uncle Guoli and Teacher Shi.

The two also discovered that Teacher Hou seemed to be particularly interested in Zhang Yuan.

"Lao Shi, this kid is really popular." Zhang Guoli said quietly.

"That's right, he is more capable than those two." Teacher Shi also agreed.

Li Jing stepped down from the stage, and the second show was that of Guo and Yu.

"Old Hou, the show for these two kids has started, do you want to take a look?"

Mr. Hou San, who was chatting with Zhang Yuan about interesting stories in the film and television industry, raised his eyebrows and then replied.

The four of them came behind the door curtain together and watched and listened quietly.

The show on stage is "The Sheep Climbing a Tree", a traditional piece of comedy.

"I am a scientist!" Guo Degang said on the stage, patted his chest, and then started coughing violently.

"How come you, a scientist, are all fistula?" Brother Qian replied immediately without mercy.

Hey.

As Hou Yuewen listened, he became more energetic.

"sure."

“The articulation, the rhythm, the punchline, the size.”

“They are all well handled.”

Originally, he thought that Zhang Guoli must have owed someone a favor, so he forced him to come.

But it's hard to offend my old friend, but I still feel a little unhappy.

But now that I listen to it, it’s really good!

After I finished the whole paragraph, Teacher Hou kept nodding his head.

"Lao Shi, the one with the permed hair is suitable to follow you. He has a good talent."

Shi Fukuan chuckled and said, "I do intend to take him as my disciple."

Brother Qian is not only talented, he is top-notch, and he also knows how to behave. Naturally, Teacher Shi likes him.

"Okay, I'm here today."

Mr. Hou San nodded and returned to his seat to continue drinking tea.

After the two actors stepped down from the stage, he gave them some pointers with a far more enthusiastic attitude than before.

"Okay, it's getting late today, and I have something to do at home..." When Mr. Hou San said this, his face darkened: "I'm leaving first."

"Hey, Lao Hou, don't worry, there's more." Uncle Guoli patted his shoulder and pushed him back to his seat. At this time, Zhang Yuan spoke.

"Brother Qian, please lend me your coat."

“Ah…” Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: “You have to go on stage!”

Teacher Guo was also stunned.

Yes, Zhang Yuan can tell stories.

Although storytelling and crosstalk are not far apart and can be considered cousins, they are completely two different forces.

"Are you sure?" Guo Degang asked.

"Definitely and definitely." Zhang Yuan nodded seriously.

He asked Zhang Guoli to bring Mr. Hou San here, not just to see Guo and Yu!
Are you only using the favors you have made for Guo Degang?

Why would I bother with that? Of course I have to use it myself!
And Uncle Guoli always said, "Let me show you some new people."

Among these “several” people, Zhang Yuan has always been included!
"You... you haven't learned much, you're just an amateur." The Marquis also asked in confusion: "Did you prepare in advance?"

"No, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision." Zhang Yuan replied while buttoning his clothes.

After saying that, he pulled Li Jing, who also looked confused, and walked to the front desk.

"Will this work?" the Marquis murmured.

"He is half the boss." Teacher Guo was so worried that he kept sucking his teeth.

Zhang Yuan is too willful. He goes on stage whenever he is told to. But he is the boss and he really has the right.

"Maybe he comes here occasionally to satisfy his craving." Guo Degang thought to himself.

This scene was originally a duet between Mr. Guo and Li Jing, but now Zhang Yuan has taken Mr. Guo's place. Li Jing, who was the supporting actor, stared with his already huge eyes, completely confused about the situation.

This show is also a traditional program called "Geographical Map".

Zhang Yuan walked forward with stage steps, and the remaining few people hurriedly ran behind the door curtain to "peek".

"Yo."

He hadn't spoken yet, but just those few steps made Master Hou San let out a low cry.

"He has a solid foundation in these two moves."

"Oh, I noticed that too." Teacher Shi also narrowed his eyes.

As soon as Zhang Yuan arrived on stage, someone recognized him immediately.

"Isn't this Murong Fu?"

"It's Song Qingshu!"

"It's Liu Chunjiang."

……

As soon as he was recognized, cheers and applause broke out immediately.

"It's even more lively than what you two did just now." Master Hou San looked at Guo and Yu.

The two of them smiled helplessly. In terms of popularity, the two of them combined might not be as popular as Zhang Yuan's toes.

Isn’t it the case that movie and TV stars are crushing crosstalk performers?

"Anyone want to take a photo?" Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said jokingly.

"Shut up!"

The audience's boos were not standard, but it still couldn't offset their enthusiasm.

There was applause and cheering, which lasted for several minutes, leaving the two people on the stage unable to speak.

Li Jing on the side looked at Zhang Yuan blankly.

He has been singing and performing crosstalk for several years, but has never seen such a scene.

“Is this the legendary popularity?”

"From the sound of your accent, you don't sound like a local." After a while, the two of them started working.

"We are from the same hometown. I am not far from the capital..." Zhang Yuan said slowly.

In the past two years, he has borrowed countless crosstalk attributes from Guo Degang and Yu Qian.

It is impossible to match the skills of these two boys.

But if you can finish the whole paragraph smoothly, there is nothing wrong with it.

What's more, he has a huge advantage, which is that he is not stage-frightened and is very relaxed.

This was practiced on the set.

You know, usually when newcomers come on stage, their lips start trembling when they see so many people below, without them having to say a word.

But he won't, he's not afraid at all.

"Look, Lao Shi, he's so relaxed on stage, he doesn't look like an amateur at all." Mr. Hou San smiled curiously, "It looks like he has practiced for many years."

"Yes!" Mr. Shi Fukuan also laughed: "I didn't realize he had this skill."

Both Guo and Yu opened their mouths wide.

Brother Qian is better, he knows a lot about Zhang Yuan's magic.

Teacher Guo is different. The only thing he is proud of is crosstalk.

Originally, he thought that Zhang Yuan was in charge of external affairs of Deyuan Society, while he was in charge of internal affairs.

Now it seems that he also has the ability in the Lord!
Just too lazy to show it.

"Lao Shi, this kid's performance on stage is so damn good!" Master Hou San praised him generously.

"He can tell stories, act, and even tell crosstalk like this."

"Incredible!" Master Hou San knew that if it was just a matter of crosstalk skills, the other two would be better than him.

But Zhang Yuan is not at all timid in his stage presence, and he is proficient in more professions and is younger.

This is too scary.

How much does this kid know?

The segment "Geographical Map" is considered a representative work of "guankouhuo" in crosstalk.

The most important thing is the last long paragraph of "贯", just like in "Announcement of Dishes".

"Go to Qinghe, Shahe, Changping County, Nankou, Qinglong Bridge, Kangzhuangzi, Huailai, Shacheng, Baoan, Xiahuayuan, Xinzhuangzi, Xuanhuafu, Shalingzi, Yulin, Zhangjiakou, Chaigoubao, Xiwan..."

Zhang Yuan then began the running part.

Every word is correct, every sound is pleasing to the ears, and the momentum is as strong as a rainbow.

Li Jing beside him couldn't help but widen his eyes again.

He is a rapper, and his skill is to speak with his mouth.

When it comes to Guankou, in Deyuan Society, he is second to none and no one dares to say that they are first.

I was waiting for this part when I was promoting the work just now, to see whether Zhang Yuan could do it or not.

Hearing it now is incredible.

He was counting on his fingers, just to know how many chestnuts and words Zhang Yuan, an "outsider", had to eat while narrating this passage.

But Zhang Yuan went on and on all the way without giving him even a chance to crack a finger!
Exactly!
"Wow, Lao Shi, look at his voice, his voice is loud and clear, and he pronounces every word with emotion, every word can be clearly delivered to the audience's ears."

"This is really..."

"That's fucking great!" Brother Qian praised immediately.

"Go!" Shi Fukuan patted Yu Qian with a smile and said in his heart.

"This kid's words are really well-placed!"

"After crossing the Jiefang Bridge, Binjiang Road, Heping Road, and Nanshi, we finally reach the Great Wall Cinema. Let's walk..." Zhang Yuan poured out this 1500-word passage in front of the audience like pearls falling on a jade plate.

"It's too crisp!" Guo Degang shook his head in disbelief.

"And his breathing is even smooth." Brother Qian's eyes also sparkled.

"He hid it so well. I lived with him for so long and I didn't even know he had this skill."

Zhang Yuan and Li Jing bowed and walked down the stage. When they came in front of the people, the boy named Xiao Wei immediately handed him a towel to wipe his sweat.

"Uncle, wipe your sweat."

The boy knew that he owned more than half of the shares of Deyuan Society, so he came forward to curry favor with him, rolling his eyes cunningly.

Xiao Jinzi standing aside had a confused look on his face.

"Didn't the master say that this uncle is not a professional crosstalk performer?"

"That performance on stage just now, is that unprofessional?"

When he came in front of Mr. Hou Sanye and his companions, Brother Qian secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Then he started a conversation.

"My Lord, how is Zhang Yuan's performance?"

"Yeah, good, you have talent."

Zhang Yuan gave Brother Qian a look of gratitude. After all, he was one of his own, so he would speak up for him whenever he had the chance.

"What do you think? I thought there are several talented younger generations here." Uncle Guoli also quickly joined in.

"Yes." Hou Yuewen looked at Guo Degang, then at Zhang Yuan, and then asked knowingly.

"Do you two have a master?" (End of this chapter)
