Reborn Cultural Empire

"Is it a good time to make money in another three to five years?" Hearing Yang Yi's words, everyone in Chang's class was naturally in a daze. Some people just shook their heads slightly when they came up with something more, subconsciously not believing his assertion.

However, as the class leader of Chang's class, although he has spent most of his life in this fishing village by Yangcheng Lake, except for being invited to sing operas, he rarely goes out of this world. His apprentices and grandchildren are not comparable to him—seeing Yang Yi's words so convincingly, and thinking that this kid is also related to the Shanghai Cultural Bureau, he thought he must have heard some inside information, so Only dare to open this mouth.After thinking about it, he knew that playing Tai Chi in circles was not his strong point, so he simply coughed and "suppressed" some intensified discussions around him, and then looked at Yang Yi with piercing eyes: "Well, Mr. Yang Ah, did you hear some rumors from the Cultural Bureau? If there is any news, please see if you can point the way for the old man. In fact, if I am alone, how will the world change in the future? It doesn't matter anymore, but there are still a lot of good seedlings in our Chang family class, if they don't know the direction, it will delay their whole life..."

When Chang Hongqu said this, his face was solemn.With a sincere expression, even if he has not experienced rebirth, he can still see the old man's sincere heart. It can be said that for his apprentices, this stubborn old man has completely lost face.

But no matter how good his attitude was, he guessed the wrong direction at the beginning.The result was naturally unsatisfactory to him.Because no one would have guessed that Yang Yi was on the cultural system side.There was no connection at all, and Director Liu followed him to persuade him that day.It was all because Ye Yuyou went to the elders to talk about the matter, and the other party was taking orders from Ye Yuyou's parents, not for Yang Yi's sake.Therefore, no matter what good things Chang Hongqu said, it was impossible for the boy to come up with any so-called inside information.

But there is no inside information, but he knows a more reliable future trend. Seeing Chang Hongqu's look of anticipation, Yang Yi thought for a while, then smiled slightly, and the expression on his face became very unpredictable: "This Things. To be honest, I really can’t say it clearly. There are some things that everyone can guess, but I can’t admit it from my standpoint. Please forgive me for this. But I’m saying it here for the last time. If you believe me, Don't think about going to the National Theater Troupe to keep the Chang Family Troupe going for at most five years, after five years the situation will definitely not be what it is now."

Remember the previous life.After the national level began to invest and support the traditional culture or traditional skills on the list of intangible cultural heritage, Kunqu Opera has become the "ancestor of a hundred operas", "the teacher of a hundred operas" and the "mother of Chinese operas".He was selected into the first batch of support list.With the decree from the highest level, whether it is personnel training or funding supply, those who are engaged in the performing arts of Kunqu opera.All have received great benefits that were unimaginable in the past few years, and these supports are not just for state-owned theater troupes.Rather, even the local Kunqu opera troupes also benefited a lot.

There is a saying that goes up and down works.After the promotion and support at the national level begins, the local governments will naturally follow suit.Supporting cultural undertakings is different from other situations such as real estate development. The local government will hardly have any objections to the decree from Zhong Nanhai.Therefore, sometimes the lower-level government will take the initiative to invite some folk opera troupes to perform some large and small events, which can be regarded as expressing support with practical actions.Therefore, after the national and local governments have all promoted it, some rich and powerful businessmen in the Yangtze River Delta region will often invite theater troupes to perform, or directly subsidize those folk artists.After coming and going, it also formed a relatively good atmosphere.

For a well-known theater troupe like Chang's Troupe, as long as they receive an invitation in later generations, the cost of the whole troupe's going out for a performance is about 4000 to [-] yuan. Secondary actors in Mo, Jing, etc. can get almost [-] to [-] yuan, and sometimes they meet big bosses who like it, and it’s not enough to perform for one day, so they often invite each other for two or three days in a row. Little things add up, and the income of those folk opera troupes is still very considerable.

At the end of the first decade of the new century, at some large and small exhibitions, especially the World Expo, which is open to the world, the minimum fee for an invitation was 20 yuan. At that time, the Kunqu opera troupe , Not to mention being rich and powerful, but he also got rid of the predicament that no one cares about early, and his life is very comfortable.

Therefore, Yang Yicai said that as long as the other party can wait patiently for five years, it will definitely be much better than entering a state unit.After all, the industry of Kunqu opera actors is not as good as singing and acting. If you have the title of an international actor of a certain level, your income, contacts, etc. can be significantly improved.In the future, the state's support will only ensure that this kind of folk opera will not disappear, rather than make every Kunqu opera actor rich and powerful.Pulling up a troupe outside to take over the work by yourself is much more relaxed and comfortable than some national theater troupes with relatively rigid regulations.

Seeing that Yang Yi was so determined, Chang Hongqu hadn't expressed any opinion yet, but his disciples and grandchildren beside him couldn't hold back, and some of them couldn't help but want to agree to it. Anyway, this Director Yang said he was full of confidence, it doesn't seem like He looks like a cheater, so what if you believe him once?And if the situation is not so optimistic in the future, if you use this excuse to ask him for help, the problem is probably not too big, so I am very eager to try.

But Chang Hongqu didn't nod his head. None of them dared to make decisions on their own behalf for their masters, so they could only look over eagerly.

It was Yang Yi who noticed the old man's hesitation and worry, and stood up with a smile, "Is Mr. Chang worried that my information is inaccurate? Or is five years too long, and no one can decide what will happen in the future? If that's the case , I can also help you to contact the Shanghai Kunqu Opera Troupe, and if Changlao you recommend is really a good seedling, they will be more than happy to accept it. I am afraid that you will regret it in the future, and I did not deliberately use this reason to prevaricate you. If it’s still like sending people into the National Theater Troupe, then I’ll contact you tomorrow, and then you can draw up a list for me.”

Anyway, it's just a matter of mentioning it in passing.With the effect of Ye Yuyou's face, the Cultural Bureau will definitely not deliberately make things difficult, and maybe these people will be exempted from the test to enter the list.And as long as the other party has half of the real level that Chang Hongqu said, he is almost [-]% sure that he wants to enter the national theater troupe.

But after Yang Yi said this, Chang Hongqu became even more hesitant, and his previous focus on letting his disciples squeeze into the national unit also faded a bit now.After thinking about it, he felt that since Yang Yi didn't take the issue of intercession seriously.It should not be because I feel troublesome, but out of good intentions, so I advised and reminded myself, those judgments I would rather believe in what I have than not.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally nodded: "Since this is the case, then I will trust Director Yang. If you have said so, if I still don't listen to your opinion, I will be a little ignorant. And I I still believe it. If the situation of the Chang family class is not good in the future, surely Director Yang will not stand by and watch?"

The old man decided to trust Yang Yi, but it didn't mean that he didn't have any worries, that's why he said some "run" words now.When Yang heard this, he was naturally amused secretly.I feel that this old man can be regarded as a representative of ordinary people, so he can understand these thoughts and actions.He didn't feel dissatisfied because of this, instead he smiled and broke through the paper: "Okay. Teacher Chang is still worried about the future changes, right? Then I will put my words here, if your situation is better than that in five years' time. Entering the national theater troupe is not easy. Just come to me, and I will still have to enter the national unit or find other ways to develop. I will take care of this. I promise, will Mr. Chang sign a written contract with me? "

"Didn't you scold me for what you said, Director Yang?"

Chang Hongqu is different from those people in the Second Textile Factory. His style and personality of messing around in the rivers and lakes earlier have not changed, and he is very particular about his style of doing things.If it wasn't for the sake of the juniors in the troupe, he wouldn't have said the words that made him blush just now, and tried to make Yang Yi promise that the situation would not be good in five years and help them.In other words, the act of "running" Yang Yi just now was already his bottom line, and he couldn't say anything further. Now that Yang Yi asked whether it was necessary to use a written agreement to restrict the two parties, he naturally felt ashamed .

"I said this very seriously, and I didn't want to run on you, Teacher Chang." Yang Yi thought that the other party had misunderstood, so he spread his hands innocently and explained clearly.

"No, no, no, I know you have no other intentions, but there is no need to sign a contract or anything. I believe in your promise, Director Yang." Chang Hongqu waved his hand. After the future of the apprentices in the troupe was resolved, his mood It also got better.

So the boy stayed here for half a day. He planned to rush back to eat at noon, but everyone in Chang's class insisted on receiving him: "You have done us such a favor, Mr. Yang. And speaking of it, it’s for the sake of our troupe’s future that we came here to cooperate, so why not let us entertain you? Anyway, we have to eat at noon today before we can leave.”

The people next to him also tried to persuade: "That's right, Mr. Yang, don't leave at noon. It's the end of the twelfth lunar month. The crabs produced in October last year have been turned into stuffed crabs. They are delicious now. You must eat them." To taste and taste."

After being forced to stay for a lunch, Yang Yi was allowed to go home. As for the island actors who originally wanted to be taken to Shanghai for a few days off, they were also in Chang Hongqu and his juniors. In total, it became to go to Shanghai to relax and rest for two days, and then return to Kunshan on New Year's Eve to celebrate the Chinese New Year with Chang's class.

……

After the problems of those actors are solved, Yang Yi has nothing to do. At the end of the year, some companies officially have a holiday on the eve of the 29th. It's over, it's the Spring Festival holiday in the afternoon. (To be continued..)
