What is it like to make a living as an entertainer?

Once, my friend and I went to another underground passage to sing, and there was a dirty old man playing a miserable erhu at one of the entrances of the passage. We walked to the other end, and were setting up the equipment to sing, when a sanitation worker came over and said, "Don't sing here, we want to listen to the erhu, you are very noisy!"

That was the first time I realized that it turned out to be a singing (acting?) place to sing (act?). You can accumulate fans over time. Another night, singing in the scenic area.

There are always some aunts in that area, who come up to sell roses as soon as they see men and women walking together, and if they refuse, they will still stick to you to sell, which is very annoying. I was nervous when I was singing happily when an aunt with roses in her hand came over, and she smiled and said, "The little girl sings so well."

Send you a flower. "Then he gave me a rose. Well, it's very happy and warm.

There is a park in my city, and as long as you don't charge money, you can sing here as much as you want, and no one rushes to it. Every day, people of all ages sing, play the piano and dance here. Everyone is here because of pure love.

I loved it there. The singing is particularly reassuring and enjoyable.

It is true that the income is not low. I've been there many times and people have thrown red tickets, if the amount of ** is large enough, and on weekends, it is possible to reach hundreds or even thousands in one night. It's not that I sing very well, but the reasons why passers-by throw away a hundred yuan are also different.

There are those who have a happy birthday, those who "encourage" my brave behavior, and those who seem to "have an understanding" after sitting beside me and crying. Of course, this kind of income is not stable, and when it is small, it is only a few dozen yuan capped even if you play and sing very hard, which is very helpless. However, as far as I know, many people make a living by singing, and with some running fields, the average monthly salary is estimated to be never lower than the salary of local white-collar workers.

Anyone I believe that the moment you go out on the street and sing, it takes a lot of courage. I used to perform on the campus stage TV in a bar, but it was the first time I performed on the street, my body trembled slightly due to tension, and the excitement was self-evident. As I went a few more times, I gradually got used to it, there would be different groups of people stopping to admire, my daily work pressure was very high, if I could squeeze out time to play on the street for an hour or two, my mood was much better, and I enjoyed it.

chose an underground passage to sing, and chose a particularly deserted passage to test the waters. When we set up the equipment and started singing, it was so deserted that there was no one left. Singing and singing, a boy walked in the tunnel, slowly walked in front of me, he stood quietly, listened to me sing a whole very unpopular English song, and then walked away silently, without throwing money.

In the underground passage where no one is around, he is willing to stop and give a song to accompany him, which is really touching, and in my eyes, it is more precious than investing money.

To make a living as an entertainer means to make a living by performing acrobatics, martial arts, opera, etc. Performing arts is not a derogatory term, it is a neutral term that refers to some people who survive in society and rely on a skill to earn money to support their families. Most of them are used on rivers and lakes.

It's basically those who play monkey tricks, dance guns and sticks, or play lion and tiger acrobatics, which is a way to earn money by performing their skills.
