Will the four actors share 12.5 yuan per game?
       Crosstalk Cloud Live is sometimes just a cry

  "On the 9th from 19:30 to 21:30, eight of us rapped four cross talks on the Douyinyun live broadcast platform, and each of them finally got 12.5 yuan from the netizens to win the reward." On the evening of May 9, Beijing East 5 At the Cultural and Creative Park of Huan Gaobeidian, Li Mingzhi, a hip-hop baggage shop actor who has just finished a live broadcast of a crosstalk cloud, told the Beijing Youth Daily reporter that he was the host of the guest crosstalk program that night, and also played a song with his partners Zhang Boxin and Feng Qinan Taiping lyrics "Exploring Qingshui River" attracted more than 100 netizens to watch.

Under the epidemic, the crosstalk live broadcast

More than one hundred people watched and made money

  At 21:00 on the same day, in a film and television cultural company in Gaobeidian Cultural and Creative Park, in front of the background wall with the words "Hip Hop Baggage Cloud Live Broadcasting", two crosstalk actors in gowns performed crosstalk against the mobile phone screen, and Interact with online users. One of them talked about the interest, and also played Allegro, while the other was unwilling to show his weakness. He played the guitar and sang folk songs, causing netizens to like through the barrage from time to time.

  "Taoye's tip is sharp, Liuye'er is covering the sky, and the Ming Hei Gong in his position, listen to me for a while ..." The crosstalk performance that night, in this classic small song "Exploring the Qingshui River" The climax was reached during the playing. The host Li Mingzhi held his fists and thanked the netizens from time to time.

  After the performance, Li Mingzhi was interviewed by a reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily. His native Yuncheng, Shanxi, has been in Beijing for ten years. I learnt the techniques of crosstalk with the help of hip-hop baggage shopkeeper and crosstalk actor Gao Xiaopan. "I have been working in a hip-hop bag shop for more than nine years. When I learn how to sing, I'm better at singing, especially the grassland-themed songs. In addition, I will often be a host in the show." In the new crown epidemic Next, the hip-hop baggage shop, like other crosstalk clubs in China, stopped the performance of the small theater. The offline performance was suspended for two or three months, making the crosstalk actors unable to make ends meet. Therefore, they will earn some money through the live streaming of the vibrato platform and supplement their home.

Busy enough to choke not much

You must think the wrong way

  During this period of live streaming on Douyin Cloud, Li Mingzhi and his partners experienced a difficult situation from barely maintaining operations to falling to the bottom. "At the beginning, our income was okay. We could get tens of thousands of sound waves and convert them into renminbi. Now it is getting more and more difficult. There are more than 200 regular fans who come to our platform to watch live broadcasts. Just Like tonight, eight of us broadcast live on the platform for two hours, rapped four cross talks, and finally harvested more than 1,000 sound waves. Each person only received 12.5 yuan. Fortunately, the performance venue is my friend, and we are free of rent. Li Mingzhi exclaimed. He also claimed that he rented in Sihui, closer to here, riding a bicycle to perform, and also save some transportation costs; other partners, from Shunyi, and from Fangshan, round-trip fuel costs Parking fees have to spend a lot of money.

  At the same time, the actors are also looking for ways to break the game, that is, how to stabilize the number of fans. "On the Douyin platform, the biggest difficulty we encountered was that we did n’t have enough time to have a smooth communication with netizen fans. For example, when you are talking about this burden on the paving mat, some fans suddenly gave you a gift. If you do n’t say thank you immediately, the fans will feel that you do n’t respect him enough; if you want to thank him, it will affect the structure of your entire burden and the rhythm of this paragraph. So this will make the actors very difficult during the performance. "

Facing an invisible audience

Live streaming has its game rules

  So if you do n’t make money, why do actors still pay to participate in this cloud live broadcast? In Li Mingzhi's opinion, this is a kind of love for actors in cross talk art. Because only live broadcast, everyone can only see their partner in this studio. Even if there is no audience under the stage, it is a rare enjoyment during the epidemic to be able to say a cross talk with the partner directly and decently. It is better than staying at home without talking and feeling uncomfortable.

  In Li Mingzhi's view, so many talent performances in cloud live broadcasts are not a small challenge for crosstalk actors, but also a difficult dilemma for the traditional crosstalk industry to switch to cloud live broadcasts. Sometimes, in order to cater to the needs of certain audiences, they have to do some self-punishing games, such as squatting.

  Speaking of the latest guidance issued by the State Council ’s joint defense and joint control mechanism, appointments, current restrictions, etc. are adopted to open closed entertainment venues such as theaters and entertainment halls. Li Mingzhi said that this is undoubtedly a good for traditional crosstalk small theaters. News, he hopes that this day will come soon.
