Entertaining Children

After the waiter brought coffee and snacks and left again, Xiao Yao took off the scarf around his neck, took a sip of coffee. After drinking the hot coffee, Xiao Yao was also refreshed.

Azi also took a sip of hot coffee to warm herself up, and couldn't help covering her cold face with the palm warmed by the coffee cup, before she said, "Let me introduce myself first..."

""Kirin" anchor A Zi, haven't you introduced it just now?" Xiao Yao interrupted with a smile, "Can I ask you a question first?"

"You ask!" Azi nodded.

"I probably guessed why you were looking for me, but I didn't expect you to come out to drink coffee with me alone." Xiao Yao said, "I thought it was your manager who came to talk with me. From the party From the beginning to when we came out, it took almost two hours, it should be enough for your manager to come over, right?"

"Didn't you bring an agent with you?" Azi asked back.

"I'm different from ordinary celebrity artists. The situation is quite special," Xiao Yao said, "I decide whether to accept the job or not, and the agent can't make the decision. Usually, after I decide to accept the job, the agent will come forward I came to discuss the specific conditions and contract with her, so there is no need to call her here temporarily. Apart from me, there should not be many such relationships between managers and artists in Huaxia. At least, if you have a manager As a human being, it should not be able to reach this level of autonomy.”

"Oh," A Zi nodded and said, "I don't have an agent! I'm just a small anchor, and I always come forward to accept business and negotiate business."

"Yo, another anchor without a management team." Xiao Yao spread his hands with a smile, "Okay, I get it. You continue!"

"Where did I just say that? By the way, introduce yourself!" A Zi tapped his chin with his fingers, and then emphasized, "Just now, I was just saying hello. I'm talking about a formal and detailed self-introduction."

"Formal, detailed? How formal and detailed?" Xiao Yao raised the phone in his hand and said, "After you left just now, I also checked your information online in Jingjing's lounge. I found everything on the Internet. Got it, is there anything that isn’t available online?”

"Not on the Internet?" Azi asked with a smile, "For example?"

"For example, your real name," Xiao Yao said, "This is not available on the Internet."

"Then do you know Sister La's real name?" A Zi asked back, "It's not available on the Internet either."

"I don't know." Xiao Yao shook his head, "I can know, but so far I don't know.

"

"You can know but you don't know?" Azi was stunned for a while, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

"That's what it means!" Xiao Yao laughed.

After Fang Yiran became Chen Beila's manager, he naturally knew Chen Beila's real identity information. Xiao Yao could learn about Chen Beila's real identity information from Fang Yiran, but Fang still didn't tell Xiao Yao about it. Xiao Yao never asked Fang Yiran about it.

"Okay," A Zi didn't bother with this question any more, and looked at Xiao Yao with a smile, "Since you know Sister La's real name but don't know it yet, and now you ask my real name, can I understand that you Are you more interested in me than in Sister La?"

"You can understand that I'm not as familiar with you as I am with Sister La." Xiao Yao laughed.

"You~" Azi couldn't help but glared at Xiao Yao, then put on a smiling face, and said to himself, "Well, for the sake of you wanting to know so much, I can tell you that my real name is Zhou Chunhua."

"Don't laugh at my name!" Azi added another sentence deliberately. However, this last sentence seems to be said a little too late.

"Puff~cough!"

Hearing the name "Zhou Chunhua", Xiao Yao who was drinking coffee almost spit out the coffee in his mouth. After coughing a few times and wiping his mouth with a tissue on the table, Xiao Yao widened his eyes and looked at Azi and said, "Chunhua? Is it real or not?"

"Of course it's true!" Ah Zi said angrily, "I told you not to laugh at my name Tu! If you hadn't insisted on asking, I wouldn't have said such a dubious name!"

"Really?" Xiao Yao looked at Azi and asked again.

"What I said is true." Azi said impatiently.

"Okay, goodbye!" Xiao Yao picked up the scarf on the table, and seemed to get up and leave.

"Hey, I haven't told you what I want to do with you." Seeing that Xiao Yao was about to leave, Ah Zi immediately became anxious, grabbed Xiao Yao's arm and said, "Could it be that you are leaving because of a name?"

"Whatever your name is won't affect my perception of you, but if you make up a fake name to deceive me, then I have an opinion." Xiao Yao said, "I'm just giving an example, I don't have to know Your real name is not allowed, you said this yourself. If you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to, but if you make up a false name to deceive me, I don’t think there is any need to stay any longer. "

"Isn't Zhou Chunhua a name? Why do you say that I made up a fake name to deceive you?" A Zi looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"Chunhua is indeed a person's name, but it can't be yours!" Xiao Yao looked at A Zi and said, "The bag and clothes you are wearing on your body may look inconspicuous, but they are actually very valuable. From your Judging from your age and your live broadcast experience, your family conditions are very good, and you must not be a child from the mountains or rural areas, and this name has nothing to do with it."

"You can see that?" A Zi looked down at his clothes, but still insisted, "Does having money in the family have anything to do with the name? My dad is a nouveau riche, right?"

"Of course, but your family is not!" Xiao Yao said firmly, "Let's not talk about the brand of clothes and bags on your body. People from ordinary nouveau riche families can know, from the way you walk, the way you hold the coffee cup Judging from the series of action habits such as posture and coffee drinking movements, you not only lived well since childhood, but also have very good personal taste, self-cultivation, and behavior. over that."

"More money and less money is one thing, but if your parents are really nouveau riche who haven't read much, it's impossible to educate you in these aspects," Xiao Yao continued, "Name is also a person's face , if you can receive a very high-quality education in these aspects from an early age, then your parents are definitely not the ones who gave you this name, and even if they did, they will help you change it when you are very young gone."

The more Xiao Yao spoke, A Zi's eyes widened. When Xiao Yao finished speaking, A Zi had unconsciously let go of Xiao Yao's arm, and even opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

"You know so much from my walking posture and the way I drink coffee?" Azi said incredulously, "This is not just about details. Are you Sherlock Holmes?"

"I can't compare to Holmes," Xiao Yao said with a smile. "Actually, what I said is not absolute. Most of what I said is my guess, and some are still hoodwinked. But your performance has told me now, and I guessed it right!"

"Okay, now you have no doubts, right?" Xiao Yao stood up again.

"Wait!" Ah Zi grabbed Xiao Yao again and said, "I have no doubts, but do you have any doubts? Why did I make up a fake name to lie to you? I am a small anchor, obviously looking for you, the big Don’t you wonder why the celebrity helped you but risked offending you by lying to you?”

"I'm curious," Xiao Yao shrugged. "But I'm not Sherlock Holmes. I don't have such a strong reasoning ability, and I don't have such a strong curiosity. I'm not someone who has to ask for an answer to everything."

"Then I'm telling you the truth now, are you still willing to listen?" A Zi asked again.

"Let's talk about it first." Xiao Yao gave up the movement of getting up, and picked up the coffee cup in front of him again.

"My real name is Zhang Huanian." Azi said.

"Even the surname was fake just now?" Xiao Yao was slightly surprised.

"Is this name not so delicate?" Azi asked.

"Jinse has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one column to think about the year." Xiao Yao said, "It sounds very ordinary, but it is a very flavorful name. Your parents want you to be young and beautiful forever?"

"Do you know this poem?" Azi looked at Xiao Yao like a monster.

"The "Jinse" written by Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty, is it strange that I have read it?" Xiao Yao looked at her puzzled.

"By the way, I almost forgot, you also won the champion of the special edition of "Ancient Poetry Conference"." A Zi was stunned, and continued, "I have two older brothers, one is Zhang Yixian and the other is Zhang Yizhu, Their names are the real shit, if not with mine."

"So your parents planned to have three children?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Zhang Huanian is quite suitable as a boy's name."

"Wait, you said your brothers are Zhang Yixian and Zhang Yizhu?" Xiao Yao recalled, looked at Azi in surprise and said, "Are you the daughter of cross talk master Zhang Baoqing?"

Zhang Baoqing is one of the most famous cross talk masters in China in the world. Zhang Baoqing's father is a well-known cross talk performer, and he has taken in a large group of famous disciples and grandchildren. Zhang Baoqing, who inherited his father's career, not only has a very high level and can be called a master, but also has a very high seniority and status in the traditional folk art circle that values ​​seniority. Now in his fifties, he has attended the Spring Festival Gala nearly 20 times, and has many disciples and grandchildren. He is a very powerful god in the Chinese folk art circle.

Zhang Baoqing has two sons and a daughter. The two sons are twins, who are eight years older than the youngest daughter. Two of his sons have inherited his mantle and are already relatively well-known young comedians. Only his youngest daughter is more mysterious. She has never performed on stage and rarely appeared in the media, but she did not expect to be silent. Became a webcaster.

"Yes!" Ah Zi nodded, "My father is indeed Zhang Baoqing."

Seeing Azi's confession, Xiao Yao inexplicably remembered "Qiuqiu", the daughter of Uncle Benshan, the "Sketch King" in his previous life. However, it is also the daughter of the Comedy King who does webcasting. Judging from past experience and performance, the difference between Zhang Huanian and Zhao Yihan is still very big, so Xiao Yao subconsciously shook his head and threw this idea out of his mind.

"Don't you believe it?" Seeing Xiao Yao shaking his head, Ah Zi anxiously took out his mobile phone and said, "I'm telling the truth this time! I'll show you the ID card with the same name and surname. I can show you the identity of me and me. Dad and my brother's photo."

"No, I believe what you said." Xiao Yao waved his hand. Judging from Azi's expression, Xiao Yao believed that she was telling the truth this time.

"It turns out that you are a second-generation and third-generation star just like me," Xiao Yao continued with a smile, "but since you are Mr. Baoqing's daughter, you should have good network resources, why are you still just a small network anchor? Why did you come to see me today?"

"Because I don't want to rely on my father's resources, I want to develop my own business with my own ability." Azi said, "I also practiced with my brothers when I was young. Although my father didn't say that I must do the same as him Cross talk also wants me to develop into a comedian or an actor, but when I was a child, I saw how hard my brothers practiced, so I didn’t want to talk about cross talk, I didn’t want to be a comedian, and I didn’t want to be an actor. Only interested in singing, I wanted to be a singer. But my dad didn't agree."

"Just a word," Xiao Yao interjected, "When you sing in the live broadcast, you basically sing cover songs, which should be within the scope of learning."

"Indeed, but that's just one aspect of learning." Azi nodded, "Learning also includes learning provincial dialects, local opera, folk art, business hawking, ventriloquist and many other things, but I'm only interested in singing popular songs. "

"It's not a problem to like to sing. Why doesn't Mr. Baoqing agree?" Xiao Yao asked strangely, "Could it be that he looks down on singers? Probably not?"

"That's not true, but he thinks that my talent in this area is mediocre. He thinks that my singing level can only be mixed when talking about cross talk. I can't be a professional singer, or I have no future as a professional singer." Azi Said, "He would rather I not enter the entertainment circle, just be a nine-to-five office worker, and he doesn't want me to be a third-rate singer."

"A problem with face? The daughter of a cross talk master is a third-rate singer. She hangs around in various low-end performance venues and even stays in bars. It seems that her face is really ugly." Xiao Yao guessed in his heart, but didn't say it out .

"But I'm not convinced, and I have to give it a try on the road of being a singer." Azi said, "My dad said that if I didn't mention that I was her daughter, no record company would be interested in me. Because I haven’t performed much since I was a child, and I rarely appear in front of the media. Basically, not many people know that I am her daughter, so after graduating from university, I made an agreement with my father. For three years, he will not give me Provide any help, and I don’t mention the status of his daughter. If I can succeed in the music industry by myself, he will no longer oppose me as a singer. After three years, if I still have nothing, I will go back and follow his arrangement honestly way."

"A foothold in the music scene? This term is very broad!" Xiao Yao tapped his fingers unconsciously on the edge of the coffee cup in front of him, "Are you an Internet singer now? Internet singers are also singers, regardless of whether they are Internet singers or traditional singers. There are many people who become popular overnight and then disappear. What exactly is a successful foothold in the music industry?"

"We agreed on a few conditions," Azi said, "Sign a contract with a record company based on my own ability and become a signed singer. With the identity of a singer, the last Spring Festival Gala, solo or chorus is fine, but it can't be a chorus of more than two people Singing for others is not counted. At least three songs have been in the top ten of the three major music websites, and they have stayed in the top 100 for more than three months. The number of fans on Weibo exceeds five million, and the personal radio station of the music website Over half a million subscribers."

"After graduating from university, I used the stage name "Azi" to submit to some record companies for the demos I recorded, but none of them responded." Azi continued, "So I started to do webcasts, singing to water friends in the live broadcast , I plan to start accumulating from the network first.”

"Understood," Xiao Yao raised a finger and said, "But there is a paradox here! You told me that you are the daughter of Mr. Baoqing, if I help you, does it mean that you have violated you and your father? agreement between them?"
