Chapter 165 165: Invited by the Folk Artists Association, the helpless Guo Degang

In cross talk or concerts, there is a word called "encore". The more times a performer returns, the more the audience likes it.

This happened to Xu Ning today. The audience in front of the radio asked him to come back three times over the phone...

The live broadcast, which was supposed to end at 6:30, was postponed to 6:45.

Finally, due to time constraints, it could no longer be broadcast, so the program said goodbye to reluctant listeners.

otherwise,

There will be no end to the subsequent programs.

Before Xu Ning left, at the request of a deputy director of the radio station, he recorded "Exploring Qingshui River" again.

This song,

Through TV stations, radio stations, newspapers and the Internet, it became popular in major cities across the country in just one week.

Even the seniors in the Beijing folk art circle called him to invite him to participate in the 2004 Beijing Folk Artists Symposium.

The purpose of inviting him is to let him talk about how to use modern media to promote traditional culture.

This is no small task...

He wanted to refuse.

But because President Zhou from Communication University was taking the lead, we had no choice but to attend the meeting.

After all, Principal Zhou has been a favor to him and he will go to the symposium no matter what he says.

At the meeting,

He first talked about the original intention of adapting "Exploring Qingshui River", and then talked about how to use the Internet, radio and other media to promote traditional folk art culture.

His emotional and well-founded speech quickly won the favor of a group of veteran artists.

The symposium is over.

Several seniors invited him to join the association, including Mr. Shan Tianfang, whom Xu Ning respected very much... He is now the honorary chairman of the Beijing Quyi Artists Association.

The little songs he sang were just casual, and he had no intention of developing a career in this industry... so he did not agree on the spot.

But when he was about to leave the venue, Principal Zhou's words made him suddenly think:

"Become a member of the association and come to participate in activities regularly. It doesn't matter if you can't participate... This matter will only be good for your career development, and there will be no harm."

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is the truth. Having a semi-official status will make it much easier to do things in the future.

then,

Xu Ning registered on the spot, paid some membership fees, and became a member of the Beijing Folk Artists Association.

the next day,

The Folk Art Association announced the news and spent money to publish the news in the Beijing Evening News.

Regarding the matter of spending money to publish news, it is actually easy to understand... The Beijing Quyi Artists Association is a semi-official organization, under the leadership of the "National Federation of Literary and Art Circles".

You have to make some achievements every year.

Otherwise, when I submit my work summary to my superiors at the end of the year, I won’t have any materials available, and it would be embarrassing if I were outperformed by the Tianjin Music Artists Association.

Therefore, all-round publicity should be carried out for bright spots. This is the basic operation for doing a good job.

The addition of Xu Ning is a highlight, after all, he is very popular and famous now.

For a time, Xu Ning had a vague tendency to become the image ambassador of the Beijing Quyi Artists Association.

actually,

He was able to successfully join the association not only because of his own strength, but also because of Principal Zhou's favor.

Principal Zhou took him everywhere to meet old artists at the symposium, and everyone felt that his relationship with Principal Zhou was extraordinary.

These mature and mature artists immediately decided to recruit Xu Ning into the association.

This is what happened next.

on the other side,

Ever since Guo Degang listened to "Exploring Qingshui River", he has not been able to think about food and drink, and has not been able to sleep well for several nights.

He was thinking about why Xu Ning became famous with just one little song, but no one took notice of him after talking about cross talk for so many years.

Comparing people with each other makes people angry.

Guo Degang has a notebook in which he records various Beijing ditties he has collected over the years.

Among them is "Exploring Qingshui River".

Looking at the original lyrics, he laughed and said, "The original lyrics are a bit yellow... they are not popular on the stage, but Xu Ning's adaptation is better."

After sitting on the broken chair in the living room for more than an hour, Guo Degang slowly stood up. He walked to the window, looked at the night view of the capital, and sighed:

"Sure enough, no matter what kind of art, you must innovate. Only innovation can survive!"

That night, Lao Guo took out his mobile phone and wandered around the living room for a long time. More than ten apprentices fell asleep, and he was still pacing.

His wife Wang Hui told him to go to bed, but he shook his head and said, "I want to think of something. You and your son should go to bed first."

finally,

When it was approaching twelve o'clock, Guo Degang sent out the text message that had been deleted, deleted, and revised more than a dozen times.

The letter wrote: "I am alone in the capital, covered by a tile in the morning, with no place to stand, penniless and no relatives, the world is cold and warm, and I have been practicing art for many years and have achieved nothing..."

The recipient of this text message is Xu Ning.

When the text message rang, he was having a long conversation with Aunt Liu in his courtyard house next to Wangfujing.

Turning off Liu Xiaoli, Xu Ning took the phone and looked at it. He read to the end and was silent for a few seconds.

What Lao Guo said can make people feel compassion and sympathy. He thought that when he first entered the capital, he himself had suffered the same situation.

So he replied with six words: "Call me tomorrow."

Although Lao Guo didn't say clearly what he was doing in the text message, he could tell that Guo Degang was seeking his help.

I am now a big boss in the film and television, folk arts, and music circles. Although I am a bit weak in folk arts... I can say something in any field.

Of course Lao Guo knows this.

So he wanted Xu Ning to say something for him, so that he would feel much more comfortable in the Beijing folk art circle in the future.

I think he has been in the capital for so many years, but he has never caught the attention of the Folk Artists Association, but Xu Ning gained favor with just one song "Exploring Qingshui River".

Make him extremely envious.

He asked Xu Ning for help, but was forced to do nothing, because Deyun Society was half dead now, and if he didn't rescue it, it would really be gone.

certainly,

From the perspective of future generations, Deyun Society will not die and will become very popular, but Guo Degang, who is now in the middle of the game, does not know.

When Xu Ning's text message was sent, Guo Degang waved his fist excitedly: "Great, apprentices, we will never die of hunger."

The next day.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

A burst of phone ringing woke Xu Ning up.

At this time, he was lying on the big bed alone. As for Aunt Liu... she went back after finishing last night.

Aunt Liu was worried that Sissi would find out about this, so she took a taxi and sneaked home secretly under the moonlight.

Call connected:

"Brother Ning, it's good morning."

"Good morning, Brother Guo."

"Brother Ning, I'm really sorry to disturb you... Sigh, I am really forced by life to have no choice..."

Xu Ning stretched, got up from the bed and walked all the way to the yard. He looked at the newly transplanted saplings and said:

"It's okay. What you are talking about is a small matter. In this way, I will think of a way to help Deyun Club promote it."

Guo Degang quickly thanked him and said seven or eight words of "thank you" in a row. Xu Ning teased the birds on the tree and said with a smile: "Ahem, Brother Guo, friends should help each other."

Hang up the phone from Lao Guo,

He called Kang Dapeng:

"Brother Peng, I have something to ask you for a favor... Well, yes, my friend runs Deyun Club. If you think it's good, please help me play it on the radio."

Kang Dapeng agreed without saying a word: "Brother Xu, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me. I will go to Deyun Club in the afternoon to have a look."

Kang Dapeng was completely willing to accept the request from Xu Ning. He was worried that he would not have the chance to get closer to Xu Ning, and this relationship came about.
