Chapter 257 Listening to crosstalk is not fun "Uncle Master, thank you for your hard work." "Good job." After Qi Long and Shao Bing stepped down from the stage, they met Yue Yunpeng and Dong Qiang who were preparing to go on stage at the back of the stage. Both sides thanked each other for their hard work. "What's the matter? Is there really no audience?" Dong Qiang asked. Although Qi Long knew that there must be someone listening to the crosstalk behind the curtain, he thought it might be the staff of the program crew who were afraid of affecting the recording effect. And even if you are a spectator, there is no need to expose the gag that the director is so good at playing. So he nodded and said, "There are only our two senior brothers and Yueyue's two apprentices in the audience. At first, I wanted to use them to make jokes, but then I thought it was not a good idea, so I said they are honored guests." Not to mention other crosstalk performers, Qi Long would not easily offend the audience on stage, unless the audience made irresponsible remarks or tried to challenge him, in which case he would rely on the microphone and fight back on stage. Under normal circumstances, he only interacts with the audience in a positive way and follows the rules of crosstalk so as not to make others feel uncomfortable. In crosstalk, jokes are usually made to colleagues who are on good terms with the audience, or to mock colleagues who are on bad terms with the audience. It is not like talk shows where there would be no "offense" to the audience.
At least that's what Qi Long thought and did. At first, he originally wanted to say something like Yu Qian brought his mistress to the audience. But the two below may be the only four audience members today, not the crosstalk performers who give scores, so you can't make fun of them. Although he didn't explain it clearly, Qi Long believed that Dong Qiang understood it. After greeting Dongqiang and watching them go on stage, Qi Long and Shaobing returned to the actor's lounge, where they were surrounded by four of their nephews, who also asked what was going on. He gave the same answer as Dongqiang and Yue Yunpeng, but this time they did not go on and off the stage in staggered movements. Time was tight, so he said a few more words. "There's a joke in our crosstalk that goes, 'There was only one audience member in the audience before, and when someone goes to the toilet to pee, we'll tell them the story. Just treat your master as that honored guest, and that's it!" After chatting for a while and sharing some experiences, the program staff invited Qi Long and Shao Bing to participate in the post-interview. The so-called post-interview is an interview in the backstage after the recording, asking questions like "How do you feel on the stage?" and so on, which will be mixed in the program. The two men stood up and followed, but they did not go to the backstage, but behind the curtain of the hall where crosstalk was performed. Just as Qi Long expected, there was a group of audiences looking at the large monitors on both sides of the screen, listening to the crosstalk with smiles on their faces and covering their mouths to prevent themselves from laughing out loud. When they saw Qi Long and Shao Bing, everyone widened their eyes in surprise, but there was no cheering. Qi Long and Shao Bing sat at the back and listened to the crosstalk performed by Yue Yunpeng and Dong Qiang. Like him and Shaobing, the two brothers performed a traditional skit "A Wrong Interpretation of the Three Character Classic". It is still in the introduction stage. It seems like they just made an ethical joke. At this moment, Yue Yunpeng is explaining: "That's the crosstalk text. No matter who is standing at the table, I have to say this. There are no cameras in the audience. I have great respect for my uncle! When I talk to him, I can't stand and talk, I have to kneel down. If I say something wrong, he will slap me in the face, and I still have to smile and ask: "Uncle, does your hand hurt?" Yue Yunpeng was talking excitedly when Gao Dongqiang patted him. "What's wrong?" "Please ask the two distinguished guests to wait, we are going to leave the stage, something has to happen!" After saying that, Dong Qiang pulled Yue Yunpeng off the stage.
"Don't!" Yue Yunpeng panicked: "I'm just talking nonsense!" The audience in the front covered their mouths and began to tremble, but Yu Qian could openly laugh “Hahaha” to support his junior. Qi Long and Shao Bing didn't laugh to the point of shaking, both of them had smiles on their faces. "You can imagine how despicable the Deyun Society is. They invited a group of audiences to listen to crosstalk and didn't allow them to enjoy it!" Qi Long said in a low voice with a smile. Shaobing opened his mouth and was about to laugh, but when he came to his senses, he closed his mouth like a thief and nodded in agreement with a smile on his face. The performance on the stage is still going on. Yue Yunpeng's comedy is smooth and Dong Qiang's support is solid, which is quite good. Later, Guo Qilin and Meng Hetang acted as each other's supporting roles in "On Support and Funny". Since both of them were the funny guys, it was natural for them to compete for the role of the funny guy and let the other one be the supporting role. Meng Hetang said that he studied crosstalk but had never learned the role of a supporting actor. Guo Qilin said, your godfather is Yu Qian, so how could you not have learned the role of a supporting actor? Meng Hetang counterattacked, my godfather is also your master, why doesn’t he teach you how to be a supporting actor? Guo Qilin said confidently: "Teach the apprentice and starve the master. Do you think my father taught you well? He taught you and your fellow apprentices well." "Shocking the face and opening wide" in front of Lao Guo and Yu Qian brought a lot of funny effects. Both of them said they couldn't play the supporting role, but when they were forced to be the other person's supporting role, they just messed around and didn't agree with anything you said. When Guo Qilin was acting as the supporting actor, Xiao Meng mentioned his father, and he replied directly, "I don't have a father, my father is dead." This side says your master, that side says my master is also dead! The two of them took turns to play the funny and the supporting roles, and Meng Hetang was also confident, saying, "You said, my master is dead." The close-fitting and big-faced behavior made the two's performance quite good, and the audience had to hold back their laughter. Zhang Helun and Luan Yunping performed a narrative crosstalk, telling the story of Zhang Helun's three applications to Deyun Society, and added some jokes. For example, if you come to the capital alone and want to live in the basement, but you are not allowed to live in the basement. When he asked where Deyun Club was, someone gave him a world map and pointed to the location of the Chinese capital and said it was right there. Also, during his interview, the master asked him what he could do for the first time, and he said he could sing the Errenzhuan. After he finished singing, the master told him to go back to where he came from. The second time he said he didn't know anything, the master asked him why he came if he didn't know anything, and sent him back. The third time, he said that he could learn even if he didn't know how to do it. He would learn seriously. The master said that he entered the door with his left foot first, so he went back. This burden means that the master just doesn't think highly of me, so he must find a way to make him go back! How did you finally choose it? The master told him to roll away, and he really rolled on the ground. The master was happy and kept him. Zhang Helun did a great job in creating this kind of exaggerated joke about things in life, and it was well received. In comparison, Qin Xiaoxian and Cao Heyang were a little worse. In a comedy show, Cao Heyang didn't even mix it up, and Qin Xiaoxian made several slips of the tongue. Their group naturally became the last one. The curtain rose, and the audience, who had been holding back for the entire show, could finally laugh out loud, applaud wildly, and enthusiastically give their affirmation to the actors. Qin Xiaoxian and Cao Heyang went to complete the punishment and clean the entire performance venue, which was a punishment for leaving get off work late. After the punishment, the two decided the winner with a fair game of rock-paper-scissors. In the end, Qin Xiaoxian was defeated and temporarily eliminated. Other Deyun actors will take his place in the next episode. Qi Long found out about this afterwards. As soon as he finished his performance, he was drafted by his senior brother Guo Degang and taken to the Deyun Training Institute. After the enrollment of the Longzi Class ended, some students have already entered the school and started studying. Lao Guo took him to give lectures. Lao Guo was the main speaker, and Qi Long was standing aside, expressing his own ideas. As soon as you enter the school gate, you can hear the sound of reciting crosstalk. For students who have just started to learn crosstalk, they will not be taught the proper skills. They are just taught the basic crosstalk, Taiping lyrics, folk songs, tongue twisters and other basic things.
If you don't practice these well, I will not teach you the skills. Teaching you the skills basically means that I recognize your basic skills and I will be considered to be officially your disciple. Qi Long and Guo Degang went to the small auditorium that was decorated as a teahouse and sat down. After waiting for a while, the students came in one after another, bowed to them, and then took their seats. "Uncle!" Gao Dongqiang's designated disciple, Qi Long's cousin, Jin Xiaoyu waved his hands happily. Xia Lingyuan, who was taken by "Uncle Qi" Qi Long to eat hamburgers, was next to him. The Dragon Class recruited students who were basically in their teens and twenties, so the two kids seemed a bit out of place. But they quickly became friends and went in and out together. "Xiao Yu, Xiao Xia, haha, your names are really suitable for the two of you. How are you? Are you used to it?" Qi Long walked over, squatted down and asked the two children. "I got up too early in the morning!" Jin Xiaoyu said with a sullen face: "Even earlier than when I was in school!" "There is so much to memorize, more than the textbooks," Xia Lingyuan also felt uncomfortable. Qi Long smiled and said, "You two are still taking group classes. But as your uncle, I was under one-on-one supervision and was not allowed to slack off at all." It seems that performing crosstalk on stage is a very glorious thing, but it is very boring to learn, especially at the beginning. If a child's interest fades, he may not continue to learn. Qi Long had planned to give up when he was a child, but seeing that Dongqiang was still persisting, he knew he couldn't surrender first and wait for Dongqiang to give up first. Dongqiang waited for Qilong to be unable to bear it first, and then the two of them continued to learn. These two children are much happier than me because their parents rent a house nearby to accompany their children in their studies. Unlike back then, Qi Long and Dong Qiang came alone and didn’t have cell phones, so they had no one to turn to for help. "Why, should we go home?" Xiaoyu and Xiaoxia shook their heads at the same time. The reason Xiaoyu didn't want to go back was that his parents, Qi Long's cousin and his wife, said that if he went back he would have to go to other cram schools or interest classes. It’s not as good as this. I get up early in the morning, but I can take a nap, so it’s okay. And he was afraid that his future master Gao Dongqiang would beat him! Xiao Xia said that the older brothers here each brought a lot of delicious food, and he still hasn't eaten enough. "Hahahaha, you greedy child!" Qi Long pulled his cousin and said, "Go, go to the store at the door and buy a bottle of drink for your uncle. Buy whatever you want to drink!" After he left, Qi Long said to Xia Lingyuan, as long as you quit after Jin Xiaoyu, I will treat you to a hamburger, the kind without your parents', you can eat as much as you want. But you can't take the initiative to persuade Jin Xiaoyu to quit and tell him about this. Xia Lingyuan's eyes lit up and he agreed immediately. I hurried Jin Xiaoyu back and told him that as long as he withdrew after Xia Lingyuan, I would stop his master from beating him. At the same time, I told his parents to let him have a rest. But I can't tell Xia Lingyuan. Okay, let’s use the method that Dongqiang and I learned crosstalk by accident to deal with these two kids, haha! (End of this chapter)
