Hmm?
Ye Lingchen looked suspiciously at Lin Ao who approached him with a face full of eagerness.
"What's up?"
"Hehe." Lin Ao laughed dryly, then said, "Brother Ye, the Spring Festival Gala is the honor of our country. What do you think about appearing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala?"
"Nothing much." Ye Lingchen's tone was indifferent. He lifted his leg and prepared to continue walking.
"Brother Ye, at this critical moment that concerns the dignity of the nation, you can't back down. You should make your move when it's time!" Lin Ao hurriedly blocked Ye Lingchen. "There are still people from the Stick Nation here. If we make a mistake, it'll be a joke!"
On second thought, Ye Lingchen realized that this incident really started because of him. It would be unbecoming of him to just leave like that.
"What do you want?" Ye Lingchen looked at Lin Ao.
"That …" Lin Ao rubbed his hands and asked in anticipation, "Do you know how to do crosstalk?"
"I know a little."
It was good to know a thing or two!
Lin Ao laughed on the spot. "That's great! Then I'll have to trouble Brother Ye to perform a crosstalk on stage. Just take it as giving me some face. Please, after the performance is over, I'll get a private jet to send you back. "
"Chief Lin, if I didn't hear wrongly just now, he seemed to only … know a thing or two?" Feng Xiaofeng asked tentatively, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears.
"You know nothing! Brother Ye's knowledge is different from ordinary people. Don't ask, just ask! "Lin Ao smiled." Hurry up and get your men ready. "
"Doesn't Teacher Guo Dongshan have a disciple? Call him over, "Ye Lingchen rubbed his nose and said helplessly.
Soon, a slightly plump fatty ran over. He had a round face, a round body, and small eyes. One look and he gave people a funny feeling. He was perfect for crosstalk.
"Hello, Director Feng, hello everyone. My name is Yue Yunpeng. You can call me Little Yue, Little Peng, or Little Yueyue." Yue Yunpeng was clearly a bit reserved as he spoke in a soft and shy voice.
"Do you know how to do stand-up comedy?" Ye Lingchen went straight to the point.
"Yes," Yue Yunpeng quickly said.
"How's your memory? How long have you been with Master? "
"Master saw that I have a good mouth and a good memory, so he took me in. He has been with me for six years."
"Sidekick and tease, which one are you good at?"
"I'm currently focusing on being a supporting character."
The supporting and amusing characters were the two main roles in crosstalk. It required two people to cooperate with each other, to sing the praises of each other, and to make something that was not funny lively.
The main character is the actor who narrates the plot of the story. He is usually called "A."
An actor who cooperates with the "teaser" to narrate the plot of the story, is now usually called "B".
In crosstalk, the funny guy and the supporting guy work together to set off and pave the way for the jokes to gradually form a burden in the narration and produce jokes.
In the show, the role of a sidekick didn't seem to be very important. Most of the time, it was just a tease. However, that was not the case. A good sidekick was hard to come by. It was even more difficult to be a supporting character than to be a tease. It was about technique and atmosphere, connecting the previous and the following. Red flowers and green leaves were indispensable.
If the burden of crosstalk was to be used, the foreshadowing, shaking, and sewing were indispensable. Not a single segment could not be left undone. This required the level of tacit understanding between the teasers, and no one could leave the other.
Of course, when a crosstalk actor first started learning, regardless of whether it was a supporting character or a teaser, they had to start from the basics. The teaser actor had to be able to support, and the teaser actor had to know how to tease. Those who only knew how to tease and not support or only knew how to support and not tease were called "lame" in the crosstalk world.
Even if some crosstalk actors focused on the teaser, or some actors were born to be a supporting character, it did not mean that they only knew how to tease and not support, or only knew how to support and not tease.
From the position, there was a certain pattern.
The stage was centered around the table. The teaser stood behind the table, while the teaser stood on the right side of the table. According to the position of the teaser, we could see the teaser actor's entire body, while the teaser actor's lower body was covered by the table.
It meant that the teaser actor stood still, while the teaser actor flew all over the stage. It was not hard to understand.
"How long until the performance?" Ye Lingchen asked.
"Less than 15 minutes," Feng Xiaofeng answered immediately.
"We can barely make it. Follow me," Ye Lingchen nodded, then brought Little Yueyue to a private room. "Bring me a pen and paper!"
On the spot, Ye Lingchen wrote down the crosstalk he was going to perform.
The content he wrote could only be described as a rough outline. In a monologue, other than the lines, it also required improvisation on the spot. That was because it often required improvisation to match the live performance.
'Is he … writing it on the spot?'
Everyone's gaze froze on him.
Feng Xiaofeng opened his mouth, wanting to voice his doubts, but swallowed his words. He could only stand at the side anxiously.
Writing crosstalk on the spot was a little nonsensical. To a certain extent, crosstalk was more difficult than singing. That was because crosstalk was all about the stage effect and the art of language. Any mistake would result in an awkward silence, resulting in an awkward scene.
Moreover, even if he could write a good crosstalk, the two of them had never worked together before. What if they could not speak after getting nervous on stage?
However, at that moment, he was really at his wit's end. He could only hope for a miracle to happen and try everything he could.
Lin Ao also frowned. However, he was very confident in Ye Lingchen's so-called 'knowing a thing or two'. That guy's' knowing a thing or two 'was more impressive, so it should not be wrong.
Chen Xiaoyan and Zhao Liangying watched nervously and curiously. If Ye Lingchen were to go on stage and make a mistake on that stage, it would definitely affect him. He might even get scolded on the internet, so they were naturally worried. However, at the same time, they hoped that Ye Lingchen could create a miracle. After all, that was the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. It was a rare opportunity.
Little Yueyue's feelings were similar, but he was more anxious, with a tinge of bravery.
In fact, prior to this, his master, Guo Dongshan, had already given him a call to remind him that if there was no performance, he should bite the bullet and go on stage. At most, he would just get scolded on the internet, but it was better than having no performance at the Spring Festival Gala.
He had to take the blame for that!
He was prepared, even prepared for the last crosstalk performance of his life. After all, where could he find a good performance in such a short time?
He just had to do his best. To be able to go on stage like the Spring Festival Gala, even if he was scolded to death, he would have no regrets.
"F * ck, what's he doing?"
"It looks like he's going to write a crosstalk on the spot."
"Write it on the spot? Is this for real? Isn't God Ye a sports star? He's strong, and he can do crosstalk? "
"Letting a sports star do crosstalk. I think this incident will stop crosstalk …"
"There's only ten minutes left. He still has to go through the lines after writing it. Most importantly, that Little Yueyue seems to be a newcomer."
"Isn't this just messing around? Such a good thing, why not let me go on stage? "
