At that time, as soon as Leader Yang heard what the waiter said, he immediately scolded him.
Singing is a technical job. Which opera singer doesn't practice it since childhood?
How could a beast come to the stage?
That is defilement!
But after thinking about it for a few days, Leader Yang had to admit that what the apprentice said seemed to make sense.
Even if the monkey doesn't know how to sing or play, as long as it can stand on the stage or even in the audience, it can attract a large number of audiences!
At that time, they can completely whet the appetite of those viewers and make a lot of money!
If that doesn't work, you can also let the monkey come on stage. Can the Monkey King with makeup, clothes and weapons be uglier than a monkey trick?
So, Leader Yang made up his mind and made a special trip to observe for a few days, intending to see who this so-called monkey was!
But after watching the monkey show for a few days, he had to admit that this so-called monkey was really a god!
Apart from not being able to speak, when he was performing, he was really just like a human being, and his skills were even better than some of the martial arts students in his troupe!
So today, Leader Yang really had the idea of letting Ding Zheng perform on stage.
He also specifically asked for Li Shangen’s address and came over to wait before the monkey show was over.
Now I finally saw Ding Zheng and Li Shangen appear, and I rushed to greet them.
Ding Zheng and Li Shangen were both startled by the sudden appearance of Team Leader Yang.
After seeing clearly that the other person was just a middle-aged and elderly man holding a cigarette in his hand and wearing relatively well-to-do clothes, he felt a little relieved.
"Sorry for the intrusion, Monkey King Li!" The old man smiled and didn't look like he was looking for trouble.
And after he finished speaking, he quickly added: "Don't worry, Monkey King, I am the leader of the Dock Theater Troupe. My surname is Yang, and my name is Yang Xingbao. I am a serious businessman. Speaking of which, we are still peers!"
Seeing that this man was not looking for trouble, and that he had obviously been waiting here and not seen what just happened, Li Shangen relaxed a little, but he was still a little confused.
Why is this opera singer looking for him?
"I wonder if the Monkey King has time? I invite you and the Monkey God to come to the inn and have a good chat." The old man continued.
Li Shangen refused without thinking.
"I'm really sorry, we have to go back now. He has important things to do tonight and we don't dare to delay." Li Shangen pointed at Ding Zheng and said.
The old man of the troupe Yang Xingbao and the leader Yang felt that Li Shangen was deliberately trying to shirk. What important thing could a monkey have?
But he had something to ask for, so he could only stay with the smiling face, thought for a moment, and said, "I wonder, can I go with the Monkey King?"
As he spoke, he added seriously: "There is really something very important, and we need to discuss it with the Monkey King!"
Li Shangen looked at Ding Zheng.
Ding Zheng tilted his head without any trace, and then nodded.
Li Shangen then agreed and invited Leader Yang to his home.
When they arrived at the house, Li Shangen and Ding Zheng immediately started eating without wasting any time.
"Master Yang, if you have something to do, please tell me now," Li Shangen said.
It's not that Li Shangen is ungrateful.
Instead, after eating and digesting a little, they had to go to the side to practice martial arts with Yan Zhendong.
Recently, in order to make more money, Ding Zheng has been running out of time.
Ding Zheng also looked at each other while eating.
The reason why it agreed to be followed by the other party was because this person had appeared in the movie.
In the movie, the Americans hosted a banquet at Hongmen to invite Huang Feihong to watch a movie, and there was a big battle between the two sides.
The place to watch the theater is right next to the pier, which is the pier theater troupe of the leader Yang in front of us.
Leader Yang was a little angry at Li Shangen's words. He didn't intend to be polite anymore and said straight to the point: "I came here this time to discuss cooperation with the Monkey King!"
Li Shangen was stunned: "What kind of cooperation?"
Ding Zheng's eyes suddenly flashed with an inexplicable look, and he felt that he might have guessed the purpose of Leader Yang's visit.
Leader Yang smiled and said confidently: "Of course I invite the Monkey King and the Monkey God to cooperate with my troupe!"
Li Shangen glanced at Ding Zheng, but Ding Zheng didn't respond, so he asked himself: "How can we cooperate?"
Leader Yang stepped forward and said mysteriously: "Our dock is the largest theater troupe in Foshan, and rich officials and rich people like to come to our place to watch."
"Even foreigners frequent it."
Leader Yang particularly emphasized.
Nowadays, it is quite respectable to have foreigners patronizing you.
"Furthermore, our troupe strives for excellence and likes to innovate. Recently, we are thinking about arranging a good show of Havoc in Heaven. We had already decided on the candidate for the Great Sage, but we learned about the Monkey King and the Divine Monkey, so we hurriedly came to visit.
"Class Leader Yang said.
Li Shangen's eyes widened after hearing this: "I can't sing."
Leader Yang's face froze, he paused for a long time, and then said: "What I mean is, let the monkey god give it a try!"
"I have watched your plays these days. Although they are simple and crude, I was still shocked by the spirituality of the monkey, so I finally made this decision."
"If the Monkey King agrees, we can give it a try right now. If the Monkey King can really take the stage, he will definitely become famous! The money he makes will be much more than what you make here!"
Leader Yang knows that the most important thing is profit. If there is not enough benefit, who will cooperate? Looking at Li Shangen, he smiled and said: "The Monkey King should also know how much money a famous actor can earn, right?"
Li Shangen's eyes began to shine and he asked quietly: "How much can I earn?"
Leader Yang's face stiffened again, and he was speechless to this country bumpkin. He also lowered his voice and said: "I have been watching your stall for a long time, and I understand it. I can say clearly that famous actors can sing a show! Stop talking.
I can take half the money you earn in a month!”
Li Shangen was stunned and quickly calculated. After a long time of calculation, he couldn't come up with a result. Only his eyes were gleaming. If Ding Zheng hadn't secretly kicked him, he might have lost his soul.
While the two were talking, Ding Zheng had already finished his meal, turned around with the monkey in his arms, avoided Leader Yang's eyes, and made a gesture to Li Shangen.
After Li Shangen calmed down and understood what Ding Zheng meant, he immediately asked: "But we monkeys can't sing opera either!"
"And he can't even speak! How to sing this play? Is it possible to make a mute play?"
"This..." Leader Yang laughed, a little embarrassed. He naturally understood the matter, but he hadn't thought of a solution yet.
His original purpose was actually to trick Li Shangen and Ding Zheng into joining the troupe as a gimmick!
How can a monkey sing opera?
Leader Yang himself didn’t believe it at first.
But he had to do this.
Ding Zheng’s popularity is really too high!
Although now his mind has changed and he is really willing to let Ding Zheng come to power.
But in any case, he has not yet figured out a solution to the problem of monkeys not being able to speak.
Li Shangen was always paying attention to Ding Zheng's instructions. At this time, he said with a smile: "Actually, this matter is not difficult to solve. If you are in trouble, Leader Yang, I have a solution here!"
"Oh? What can I do?" Leader Yang suddenly became delighted.
"I just hope that after listening to this method, the class leader can provide more convenience when working together..." Li Shangen rubbed his fingers and said a distribution method.
"That's easy to say, of course." Leader Yang nodded immediately.
After all, he has a big family and a big business, and he doesn't care about small profits.
Li Shangen immediately stopped trying to make excuses and said directly: "I wonder if Leader Yang has ever heard of the double act?"
"Double act?"
"It's just one person performing, and the other person hiding behind that person talking..."
... I don’t know how many friends came here because of this cover. It cost me more than ten yuan. Is this cover cool?
