The live broadcast began!
Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai went onstage!
Compared to the chaos outside, the recording studio was very calm. Other than the judges looking at each other and the audience being stunned for a moment, there was not much of a commotion. This was because other than a few staff members in charge of the live broadcast signal, no one knew that the cameras in the recording studio were broadcasting live. Their cell phones were all switched off or locked in a special place when they entered the studio. During the recording, the door was locked, so none of them received the news. Not only them, even Zhang Ye himself did not know what was going on.
Bba Bba Bba.
"It's Teacher Zhang!"
"Haha, Yao Jiancai!"
"That's great, we're actually going against them!"
"This is going to be fun to watch."
"But Teacher Zhang performing crosstalk? I don't dare to watch that scene! "
"It's not like Zhang Ye is really here to perform crosstalk. He's just here to mess things up. Do you really expect him to be able to compete with those professional crosstalk actors?"
"That's true."
"I guess it'll still be in the form of a talk show."
"Although it's not a proper crosstalk, a talk show is still not bad. I quite like listening to it."
The audience gave them face. Together with the staff members who were leading the applause, they started clapping the moment the two of them went onstage. From the sound of it, it sounded very enthusiastic. It was clearly much louder than the applause given to the other contestants. There was nothing they could do about it. The popularity was there.
The lighting was very bright and dazzling.
The other contestants, who were recording for the first time, would not be used to it when they went onstage. They might even be nervous. This was because sometimes when the lighting was not good, they would not be able to see what was below the stage. All they could see was the dazzling light. However, Zhang Ye enjoyed it very much standing onstage. He was very familiar with this. It had been a long time since he had worked or recorded a program, so he felt a little nostalgic. He had the urge to shout "I, Hu Hansan, am back again"!
Of course, Yao Jiancai would not be unaccustomed to it either. He had been in the entertainment industry for more than a decade. Like Zhang Ye, he was also someone who had seen a lot of things.
Calm and collected.
Just from this atmosphere, the two of them were much better than the other contestants.
The female judge adjusted the microphone and smiled, "Hello, Teachers."
Yao Jiancai smiled and said, "Oh, don't call me that, judge."
The female judge's attitude was still friendly. She said, "Usually, when a contestant goes on stage, we would let the contestant introduce themselves, but there's no need for the two of you. I believe most of the audience knows the two of you, but even though they know you, they didn't know that you can do crosstalk."
Another professional crosstalk actor, a male judge, said, "Let me interrupt. I don't know about Zhang Ye, but Teacher Yao Jiancai was indeed our professional crosstalk actor in the past."
The female judge said in surprise, "Oh? Such a thing happened? "
Yao Jiancai said self-deprecatingly, "Even if it's been more than ten years, I won't mention it."
The third middle-aged judge sitting on the far right didn't seem interested in listening to this. "Why don't we let them start? We'll listen to the works first." There was no point in chatting so much. Even if Yao Jiancai had learned crosstalk professionally, Zhang Ye had never learned it before. He was just a layman, so it would be like playing the lute to a cow. Besides, the other party was a banned celebrity. They were here to cause trouble. No one believed that they really knew how to do crosstalk. A remake of a talk show? Or was he imitating a traditional crosstalk joke? In any case, he had no interest in listening.
The first judge said, "Alright, let's begin."
The female judge revealed a very interested expression.
It was worth mentioning that Zhang Ye saw a person in a corner of the audience. It was Tang Dazhang. This was the first time he was seeing this person, but because he had seen his photos and videos, he could recognize him at a glance. Tang Dazhang was not the judge for the first round of the preliminaries. He was probably here to watch his disciple's performance. It was obvious that he wanted to leave, as he stood up. But when he saw Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai, Tang Dazhang sat down again. He had a faint smile on his face, as though he was waiting to see Zhang Ye make a fool of himself.
There were a few crosstalk actors beside Tang Dazhang.
One of them said, "Letting Zhang Ye do it is to pollute the crosstalk stage."
Another old comrade also shook his head, "There are more and more amateurs in this crosstalk competition these days. He doesn't even know what crosstalk is, yet he dares to compete. I really can't bear to listen to it. Look at Division A's third and Division C's second round. Look at what they said. This Zhang Ye won't be any better!"
Tang Dazhang laughed, "In a while, when he is done, the judges will tell him what crosstalk is. He wants to use a talk show to make it into crosstalk? What a joke. "
The few crosstalk actors once again began to criticize Zhang Ye.
As the competition was about to begin, the venue suddenly quietened down. The audience was all looking at the stage.
At this moment, outside the venue, all the people who were paying attention to this crosstalk competition were staring unblinkingly at the live broadcast camera. It was also the focus of everyone's attention!
......
At Zhang Ye's house.
His mother was on the phone, "Old man, come back quickly!"
His father said on the other end of the phone, "I'm buying groceries. Wait for a while."
"What groceries? Hurry up, our son is doing a live broadcast! He's about to perform his crosstalk! Hurry, hurry, hurry! " His mother was very excited. She had thought that her son would bid farewell to the entertainment industry from now on, but she never expected that he would appear in front of the public again. What's more, it was at such a huge competition that had the highest viewership ratings in the country!
His second sister asked, "Does my brother really know how to do crosstalk?"
His mother said, "I don't know about that. I've never heard him say it before."
His third sister harrumphed, "What doesn't my brother know? Since he dares to compete, then he definitely can do it!"
His eldest sister said worriedly, "Let's hope so."
......
Yao Jiancai's house.
Yao Mi was pacing around in front of the computer, "Can my dad do it? Don't embarrass yourself. Although he used to be a professional supporting actor, he didn't make a name for himself. After so many years, he must have lost all his basic skills, right? And my invincible Teacher Zhang, when did he learn crosstalk? From my dad? Isn't that cheating!? "
Fan Yi frowned, "What are you looking at him for? Turn it off."
Yao Mi said coyly, "Mom, are you still angry at my dad? Didn't the police already investigate it? Don't you know my dad? He has the heart but doesn't have the guts. How can he escape from your clutches? Even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to mess around outside. "
"Watch it for yourself." However, Fan Yi did not leave. She sat by the side and read a book. Her eyes would occasionally glance at the live broadcast. Clearly, she was still paying attention to it.
......
Somewhere in the Internet Surveillance Bureau. During lunch break, Fan Yingyun, Fang Xiaoshui, and Meng Yi turned on the competition's live broadcast.
Beijing Television Station. Hu Fei, Hou Ge, Hou Di, Xiao Lu, and Dafei were watching the live broadcast while eating lunch.
Shanghai, Weiwo's WebTV department. Dong Shanshan and Zhang Ye's former colleagues were also looking forward to it.
And so on.
This live broadcast was too unexpected. Even those who did not pay much attention to Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai were attracted by it. They watched the live broadcast in disbelief!
......
In the recording studio.
The field director made a gesture, indicating that it was time to begin.
When Zhang Ye, who was onstage, saw this, he smiled. He then looked at the expressions of the judges and some of the audience members. He knew that most of them did not think that he knew crosstalk. Alright then, for today's preliminary round, this bro will first briefly demonstrate what a new commercial crosstalk is. He will demonstrate the style of crosstalk that had been polished to perfection in his previous world. It was performed to the extreme, and was ahead of this world by at least seven to eight years.
Rolling up his sleeves, Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Hello everyone."
Yao Jiancai followed up, "Hey, hello everyone."
Zhang Ye said, "For this round, the two of us will be performing a crosstalk routine for you."
Yao Jiancai smiled, "Yes, it's our turn."
When the people in the audience heard this, as well as the people watching the live broadcast online, they were a little speechless. Out of ten crosstalk routines, 9 of them had such cliché opening lines. Wasn't this too lacking in novelty? And it was too plain. Heh, this Zhang Ye really did not know the art of crosstalk. He was too casual.
However, just as this thought came to mind, the first joke jumped out unexpectedly!
Zhang Ye respectfully pointed to the person beside him, "First, let me do a grand introduction. This is my partner, and also my most respected and loyal elder, Biting Building Material, Biting Teacher!"
The live audience burst into laughter!
Yao Jiancai chuckled, "Biting Building Material? I'm really not picky about food! "
The audience laughed again, "Hahaha!"
Zhang Ye said, "Then it should be?"
Yao Jiancai said, "Alright, so you don't even know my name?"
A few more laughs came from the audience.
Zhang Ye chuckled, "I was just joking, Yao Jiancai, Teacher Yao."
Yao Jiancai said, "That's right."
Zhang Ye said, "Teacher Yao's crosstalk is very good. A lot of people might not know, but more than ten years ago, Teacher Yao was a professional crosstalk actor in a proper folk art troupe."
Yao Jiancai said to the audience, "That's true. I haven't done it for many years."
Zhang Ye laughed, "The reason why I dared to come to the competition today is because Teacher Yao brought me along. Everyone knows that Teacher Yao and I are good friends."
Yao Jiancai said, "Right, we're old friends."
Zhang Ye pointed at him and said, "As the saying goes, it's hard to get a chicken in one's life!"
The female judge sitting in the middle nearly burst into laughter. The live audience also roared with laughter!
Yao Jiancai quickly stopped him, "Stop it, stop it! Did I become a different species? I'm a bosom friend! "
"Right, bosom friend!" Zhang Ye said, "I have a good relationship with Teacher Yao. How good is it? His friends are my friends. His brothers are my brothers. His parents are my parents … "
"Yes, we are friends." Yao Jiancai said.
Zhang Ye carried on, "His daughter is my daughter. His wife is my wife!"
Yao Jiancai immediately pushed him, "Go to the side!" You're taking advantage of me! "
The audience roared with laughter!
Tang Dazhang frowned.
When the other crosstalk actors beside him heard this, they could not help but exclaim.
The other two male judges also looked at each other in shock. They could see the surprise in each other's eyes. A talk show change? Obviously not! This was clearly a proper crosstalk! But from the rhythm and the way it was done, it was not their traditional mainstream crosstalk style!
