2862 [two people turn]

Zhao Benshan was surprised when he received Xia Tian's invitation and didn't know what Xia Tian was going to do for him.

To be honest, although he is the famous sketch king in the mainland, he is too far behind Xia Tian.

He didn't understand what Xiatian could find to him.

With such questions, Zhao Benshan came to the hotel where he stayed at Xiatian.

"Mr. Xia, I wonder what's wrong with you looking for me?" Zhao Benshan asked with some restraint after seeing Xia Tian.

Although he could be free to face thousands of audiences on stage, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw Xia Tian.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao." Xia Tian nodded, "I have a business I want to talk to you."

"Discuss business?" Zhao Benshan was stunned and asked in confusion, "Mr. Xia, what business do you have to talk to me?"

He has basically no other ability except for acting in sketches, singing duoji, acting in movies, and acting in TV series. He doesn't know what business he can do with a big boss like Xia Tian.

"Mr. Zhao, I heard that you are a singer-in-law?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.

"Yes, I have been learning art since I was a primary school and have been singing for more than 30 years." Zhao Benshan nodded and said.

His mother passed away when he was six years old, and his father ran away from home. He almost became an orphan. He was raised by his second blind uncle and taught him how to play the erhu, play the suona, sing small operas, sway the handkerchief and other two-person kung fu.

Zhao Benshan studied hard and learned his skills. In 1987, the "Blind Man Watching the Lantern" he collaborated with Pan Changjiang for more than 500 consecutive performances in Fengtian, and on average, he had to go through four or five shows a day, which shows his prosperity.

It is precisely because of this that he attracted the attention of the Spring Festival Gala program team and brought him to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, which also made him a "sketch king" that became popular all over the country. It can be said that Errenzhuan is the cornerstone of his fame and his life-saving craft.

But he didn't understand, Xia Tian asked him what he did.

Because Errenzhuan is a local folk art, although there are many singing segments, dances, performances, special stunts and other contents, they are all kinds of things, but they are all things that are made by Xialiba people and cannot be on the big table.

Especially in recent years, Errenzhuan's performers have not been motivated. They often do some tricks and do some sexy jobs during performances. Although they are very popular among the people, they have to say that Errenzhuan's reputation has become even worse.

He was so embarrassed to mention such a bad thing like that, he didn't even want to read it, and he didn't know why Xia Tian asked him this question.

"What does Mr. Zhao think of Errenzhuan?" Xia Tian asked with a smile, "Is there still a market in the future?"

Zhao Benshan was stunned, then shook his head, "Mr. Xia, I don't really understand what you mean."

He received limited education since he was a child. Although he later traveled around the world and saw a lot of things and had some skills, he still didn't quite understand some things.

"I mean, do you think in a few years, there will be people watching Errenzhuan, but will anyone listen to it?" Xia Tian asked immediately.

"It should be." Zhao Benshan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "In our northeast, there is a saying that 'I'd rather give up a meal, but I won't give up a errenzhuan'. And now errenzhuan is very popular in our place, and there are many performances."

"That's fine. Since that's the case, what do you think we will work together to form a two-person performance group?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.

When Zhao Benshan heard this, he was stunned. He never expected that Xia Tian would propose this plan, which was completely beyond his expectations.

"Mr. Xia, you and I will join the duo performance group?!" Zhao Benshan asked with a confused look on his face, unable to believe his ears.

"That's right." Xia Tian nodded, "In my opinion, the performances of Errenzhuan are flexible and diverse, funny and very suitable for promotion. I hope you and me will organize a Errenzhuan performance group. I will pay and you will work hard to make this cake bigger and better."

"This..." Zhao Benshan hesitated for a moment and did not understand what Xia Tian meant, "Mr. Xia, I read less and don't understand what you said very much."

"I mean, I'll give you some money, you can form a two-person performance team, and then let the performance team perform on tour to make money. At that time, we will share the money earned by stocks. Do you understand?" Xia Tian explained to him.

Zhao Benshan just understood, "Mr. Xia, I understand if you say that. But to be honest, you are the big boss and you still value this little money? The second-person rehearsal will only cost a few hundred yuan."

Errenzhuan is very common in Northeast China, and no matter men, women, young and old, they can hum a few words. During festivals, wedding and birthdays, Errenzhuan actors will be invited to perform, and the performance is only a few hundred yuan a day.

Zhao Benshan didn't understand why Xia Tian's business was so big, so why did he still like such a small business? To be honest, even he himself didn't like such a small business.

"You don't understand this." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "You are all idle duo actors, who are running alone and traveling to the world, without anyone to protect him, and have no fame, so naturally they can't raise the price. If it were Mr. Zhao, you would have been invited to sing a duo, how much would it cost?"

Before Benshan Media was established, the two-person actors in Northeast China were basically the main ones. They walked around and went there whenever they had performances. Because no one helped or protected them, they had to eat any hardships, and the price of the performance was never raised.

Like Zhao Benshan, everyone was grateful after becoming a disciple. Because Zhao Benshan, no one dared to bully them. Their income increased, their popularity was less, and their fame increased. Naturally, they respected Zhao Benshan more and did not dare to disobey them.

"Please sing me?" Zhao Benshan was stunned, then waved his hand and said, "I haven't sang it for a long time. Now let me sing at least 100,000."

"That's it. Think about it, if we organize a group of capable Errenzhuan artists and praise them as if you are so popular, one hundred thousand, one show a day, it will be more than 30 million. If there are dozens of venues in the country, it will be more than one billion." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "Now, do you still think this business is small?"

Zhao Benshan was stunned after hearing this.

He really never thought about what Xia Tian said.

Now that he said this, his eyes lit up.

Indeed, if there is such a performance team, he will really make a fortune. One show is 100,000, four or five shows a day is 400,000, and hundreds of millions a year are 100 million.

"However, Mr. Xia, there is no Errenzhuan actor who is more popular than me. Besides, performances in dozens of venues require at least a few hundred artists. Where can we find so many people?" Zhao Benshan asked in confusion after he woke up.

There are only a few artists in the Northeast who are as popular as him, such as Pan Changjiang, Gao Xiu, and Gong Hanlin, but they will not sing with him on the Errenzhuan.
