Huayu: Starting from managing the Mahua FunAge Theater Troupe

The distance from where Jiang Yan lives to the Beijing Zoo is less than five kilometers.

Shen Feiyang didn't even brake many times.

Jiang Yan got off the car with a flushed face, partly because the helmet was stuffy, and partly because she sensed that Shen Feiyang's sudden braking seemed to have ulterior motives.

"You're so naughty," Jiang Yan said coquettishly.

Shen Feiyang looked at Jiang Yan with a bewildered expression: "What's wrong?"

"You... never mind, it's fine. Where's the helmet?"

Shen Feiyang pointed to the small shop at the entrance of the scenic area: "They have a luggage storage service over there."

Jiang Yan looked in the direction Shen Feiyang pointed and saw the words "Storage Service" prominently displayed on the door of the convenience store.

……

Store the helmet at the convenience store.

After buying a combined ticket at the ticket window that included a visit to the pandas, Shen Feiyang and Jiang Yan entered the zoo.

Shen Feiyang casually took Jiang Yan's hand, closing the distance between them.

After the ambiguous groundwork laid earlier, although they hadn't seen each other for almost a week, Jiang Yan didn't feel awkward. She took Shen Feiyang's arm in the process.

Jiang Yan looked at Shen Feiyang's profile and asked, "You're my boyfriend, right?"

Just as Shen Feiyang was about to speak, Jiang Yan added, "You're not allowed to say whatever you think is true."

Shen Feiyang chuckled softly, "Actually, I'm a gigolo kept by a rich woman."

"No, that's not it! Can't you just answer my question seriously?"

Shen Feiyang countered, "Then what do you think my current situation is? Oh, we've arrived at the panda enclosure, let's see the pandas."

The two entered the zoo from the south gate, and the first exhibit they saw was the Asian Games Panda Pavilion.

In February 2004, the Beijing Zoo only had the Asian Games Panda Pavilion as a place where pandas could be seen.

"That's just Ginny, that's just Yingying, that's just Yuanyuan, that's just Yaya..."

Only four chubby giant pandas came out of the panda enclosure. Through the glass wall, Jiang Yan recognized each of them.

Shen Feiyang stood aside and looked into the museum. He felt they all looked pretty much the same, and said with surprise, "You can recognize these?"

"When I had some free time during my break, my mom and I went to the zoo. It seems like Niu Niu was still breastfeeding Tian Tian, ​​so she didn't come out."

"Hello, would you two like to take a photo?"

A photographer with a Polaroid camera came over and asked Shen Feiyang and Jiang Yan questions.

Jiang Yan immediately replied, "Okay."

She turned around, took Shen Feiyang's arm, made a peace sign, and smiled.

Filming is finished.

A few minutes later, I had the photos.

……

Put the photos away.

Following the route, Shen Feiyang and Jiang Yan visited the High Wall Monkey Mountain, the Wolf/Small Mammal Area, the Old Bear Mountain, the Lion and Tiger Mountain, and the Australian Kangaroo Area before heading towards the Elephant Pavilion.

On the way to the elephant enclosure.

Jiang Yan complained to Shen Feiyang, "Let me tell you, there's a zookeeper at the elephant enclosure who's bigger than the elephants. What's even more outrageous is that the elephants are getting thinner and thinner. I suspect he's been eating their food."

"Really?"

You'll know when you get there.

"Wait a minute..."

"What's wrong?"

Shen Feiyang looked around.

Jiang Yan looked around in confusion.

There's no one and no cameras in this area.

After making his decision, Shen Feiyang put his arm around Jiang Yan's waist and kissed her.

"Don't……"

Jiang Yan had just uttered a single word when her mouth was sealed shut.

After a brief kiss lasting several tens of seconds, Shen Feiyang withdrew his hand and mouth.

"I hate you so much..." Jiang Yan blushed and slapped Shen Feiyang's chest, then pursed her lips.

"Haha, let's go see the elephants."

……

We arrived at the elephant pavilion.

I happened to see the zookeeper feeding the elephants.

Saying that the zookeeper is bigger than the elephant is indeed an exaggeration, but the zookeeper weighs at least 200 pounds.

As for the elephant next to it, compared to a normal elephant, it does look very thin and bony.

Comparing the zookeeper and the elephant, there is indeed a visual illusion that the zookeeper is bigger than the elephant.

Jiang Yan pointed at Shen Feiyang and said, "See, I didn't lie to you."

"That's true." Shen Feiyang nodded.

The zookeeper who was feeding the elephants also felt that he seemed to be the subject of discussion again.

tired.

I don't want to argue.

Shen Feiyang and Jiang Yan waited for the zookeeper to finish feeding the elephants. When the zookeeper came out, Shen Feiyang tugged at Jiang Yan's sleeve and walked towards the zookeeper.

"Hello there."

Shen Feiyang greeted the zookeeper.

"well……"

The zookeeper sighed and explained skillfully, "That elephant didn't get thin from my feeding; it's just old. Just like humans, they get thinner when they get old."

Shen Feiyang explained, "I wasn't asking about the elephant. I just think you look familiar. Have you ever performed crosstalk? I feel like I've seen you before."

"Oh, you mean this? My name is Sun Yue, not the Sun Yue who sings. It's Yue, the Yue King Goujian. I do do do crosstalk at small theaters after work. You should have seen me somewhere before."

"It should be."

Shen Feiyang nodded, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it over, saying, "I am Shen Feiyang, the general manager of Happy Twist. We are the production and performance company behind the stage play 'Want to Eat Twist? We'll Twist it for You Now.' I don't know if you've heard of us."

"I've heard of it, I've heard of it..."

Sun Yue lifted his apron, wiped his hands with the lining of the apron, and then took the business card.

Shen Feiyang looked at Sun Yue, who was looking down at his business cards, and explained, "I recently acquired a crosstalk troupe and we're looking to hire a supporting actor. I was wondering if you'd be interested?"

Sun Yue asked with some doubt: "You acquired a crosstalk troupe? Why would you acquire that thing? It's a complete money-loser."

"I think crosstalk still has potential for development. It's just that crosstalk performers all flock to TV stations and the system, causing crosstalk to become detached from the masses. Now, big names like Li Jindou and Jiang Kun are working to bring crosstalk back to the theater. I think there's a lot of potential for that," Shen Feiyang explained simply.

As someone in the industry, Sun Yue naturally knew about this.

Li Jindou, Jiang Kun, and others have been continuously promoting the return of crosstalk to the theater.

But that's something only organizations, companies, and bigwigs within the system, like the China Broadcasting Rap Troupe, the China Railway Art Troupe Rap Troupe, and the National Cultural Palace Grand Theater, can accomplish. It's extremely difficult for private crosstalk troupes to bring crosstalk back to the theater. Sun Yue tried once and lost several months' wages.

Shen Feiyang added, "Most importantly, everything depends on human effort. Nobody believed we could make a New Year's stage play, but we did. By the way, Mr. Zhao Benshan and I have started a comedy competition program on a satellite TV channel. If you join the company now, you can appear on the show with the other actors from the company."

Sun Yue hesitated and asked, "You acquired that crosstalk troupe?"

"BJ Crosstalk Festival, but after the acquisition is completed, it will be renamed Yunshe. They have another performance at Guangdelou at 7 pm tonight. The partner I want to arrange for you is Cao Yunjin. You can go and check it out tonight. Call me back when you've thought it through."

"become."

After watching Shen Feiyang and Jiang Yan leave, Sun Yue looked down at the business card again.

……

"That person can actually perform crosstalk?"

Once they were out of sight, Jiang Yan muttered incredulously in a low voice.

Shen Feiyang smiled and said, "As the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover. Alright, after we finish visiting the zoo, let's go eat, and then we'll go see a movie."

"And then what?" Jiang Yan asked Shen Feiyang with a sly look.

What do you think?

Shen Feiyang put his arm around Jiang Yan's shoulder and gazed at her affectionately.

Jiang Yan lowered her head shyly: "I...would I...?"

Shen Feiyang flicked her forehead: "What are you thinking? Of course I'm taking you home. I'm a gentleman, and my mother said I have to be home by 10 p.m.
