Chapter 219 Live Enrollment
The large-scale enrollment activity of the Longzi Class of Deyun Society has started in full swing on the short video platform.
In addition to performing and recording variety shows, Qi Long would also watch his fellow apprentices’ live broadcasts to see how they do it and learn from them so as to avoid being too shy when the time comes.
Basically, the applicants go on microphone to introduce themselves and then show their talents. Then the crosstalk actors in charge of reviewing the performance give their comments and those who perform well will be given a pass card.
Among them, there are a large number of internet celebrities who are here to take advantage of the popularity.
The purpose of their registration is to attract traffic to their own live broadcast rooms, which is also the reason why the short video platform spends a lot of money to let Deyunshe recruit people online.
Direct traffic to the anchors on their platform.
The problem is that if you want to ride on the popularity, you should at least know how to ride on it.
He said he was speaking in a jingle, but it turned out to be rap or shouting
Indeed, the "learners" in crosstalk will perform rap and shouting on the stage.
But after all, it is an extremely small talent among the four major categories, and it has almost nothing to do with crosstalk. Isn't this just nonsense?
So when it was his turn to live broadcast, he decided to set the rules first before connecting to the microphone.
He used the official account of Deyun Society and had no plans to broadcast at home, so he went directly to Guo Degang's live broadcast venue. Someone had already adjusted the camera, lighting, etc., so he used it directly.
For a very popular crosstalk artist like Qi Long, the official short video website would promote him extensively several days before his live broadcast.
Many people came to the live broadcast room before the show started, and once it started, the audience poured in like a tide.
There were all kinds of comments in the barrage, some calling him "uncle master", some asking him to do a segment, some asking questions, some advertising, all kinds of things.
The comments were so fast that he couldn't keep up.
"Hey, I just saw a red lip temptation, what is that? We are a positive energy live broadcast room, is it appropriate for you to post this? Where are the rules? Where is your conscience? Where is the address, take me there quickly!"
The screen was flooded with “Hahaha!”, “Crosstalk actors are not serious”, “It turns out that the uncle is also an LSP”
"Who said I'm an old pervert?" Qi Long saw this comment and said, "Let me make it clear, I'm not old, how can I say that?"
As the screen was filled with barrages of comments, some people began to try to attract Qi Long's attention by sending gifts.
"Oh, there are still many people sending gifts. I want to thank you on behalf of Deyun Society. I can't get any. If you want to give it to Deyun Society, you can give it as you like. If you want to give it to me, I will show you my payment code later. I can't let Deyun Society get away with it!"
Qi Long shouted when he saw someone sending gifts.
He did not close the rewarding function because it was not his account, and if he closed it, wouldn’t that put other junior brothers in trouble? If they didn’t close it, people would talk about them.
Besides, the purpose of cooperating with the platform is to make some money back by collecting gifts from you, and the platform will not agree to you shut it down.
So Qi Long was just using an account that was not his own to make a point, so that those who simply wanted to support him wouldn't have to spend money.
After hearing what he said, an enthusiastic viewer told him that QR codes cannot be placed during live broadcasts on the platform as it would violate regulations.
"I'm not serious. Who of you made 2,000 yuan from me and said I was a fraud? Where can I go to seek justice? What? Crosstalk actors are frauds. You, go and sign up for the Dragon Class. You have already mastered the true meaning of crosstalk!
The four lessons of a crosstalk artist are to cheat, deceive, and deceive you. You have already learned it! "
After saying that, Qi Long looked at the side and said, "I'm not used to this nonsense being said without anyone stopping me. Bring me a dog that can make jokes. If I say something wrong, he will grab me!"
After three seconds, Qi Long stood up and shouted to the outside of the screen: "Why did you bring Dong Qiang here?"
Just this series of short jokes improvised based on the barrage, the screen is full of laughter.
There are different kinds of laughter, there are hahaha, 2333, and emoticons, all kinds of things.
Qi Long was also very satisfied. With so many viewers waiting in the live broadcast room, they must want to have some fun, so he just said a few words to satisfy everyone.
Of course, he couldn't forget the business. He looked at the number of people in the live broadcast room and said, "After chatting for a few minutes, I guess the students who want to apply for the Dragon Class and ask me for a pass card have already come to my live broadcast room. So I'll set the rules first!"
The beauty filter is turned on too much, so I hung up directly. There’s nothing I can do. I don’t even know your real appearance, how can I pass your card?
When I look online, it’s Daniel Wu. When I look offline, it’s Guo Degang. What should I do?
Moreover, the Deyunshe stage does not have high technology, so it is impossible to beautify you when you come up to perform crosstalk.
Even if there is, it probably can't be opened. What if seven kids come in and shout at you, "Give me back my grandpa" while you are talking?
The second thing is to turn off all the sound card effects that should be turned off. We have to listen to your vocal conditions.
When you turn on the sound card, your voice sounds like that of a voice actor, but when you turn it off, it sounds like a sesame seed. What should you do?
Moreover, with the help of technology, you can sing in tune. When you listen to it offline, you will say, "Stop singing, just touch it!"
Wouldn't that really be a scam?
Also, for the talent show, don't do anything messy. If you really can't think of anything, just give me a simple tongue twister, even "Eight Hundred Standard Soldiers" will do.
Anyway, we are selecting students, and we mainly look at your accent, voice condition, and image. There is no need for you to be so fancy.
Instead of choosing the difficult one, it is better to choose the simple one to show yourself.
When talking about the rules, Qi Long also had some jokes in his remarks, which made the comments in the comments section laugh more than ever. After he finished speaking, he announced that those who wanted to participate could connect with him via the microphone.
The first sturdy guy grabbed the microphone and said, "Hello, Teacher Qi, I like you so much. I listen to your crosstalk every day!"
"Which part do you like?" Qi Long asked with a smile.
"I like On Dreams and Full of Knowledge." "Have you really read them? Very good, introduce yourself!"
"My name is Chen Mo, my online name is Big Bear, and I have already thought of my future name. I can be called Chen Longxiong!"
Qi Long smiled and said, "Long Xiong? Look, he has accurately grasped Teacher Guo's hobbies!"
The comments were so hilarious that the other party was embarrassed.
Qi Long shook his head inwardly, if you don't have the ability to improvise a joke, then forget about it. Anyone can memorize the prepared jokes, the key is still your reaction speed.
Instead of preparing jokes that you can't follow up with, it's better to just show your talent directly.
"Come on, what talent have you prepared?"
"I prepared a tongue twister, a short passage in the middle of 'Eighteen Sadnesses', 'Pink Girl and Pink Girl'!"
Qi Long nodded and let him start the performance.
[In the first month of the lunar calendar, two sisters went to visit lanterns. The elder sister was named Pink Girl and the younger sister was named Girl Pink]
This is a classic tongue twister that combines positive and negative words.
A pink girl wearing a pink jacket holding pink wine, a pink girl, holding a pink jacket, holding pink wine.
The pink girl drank the pink wine that the girl shared, and the pink girl drank the pink wine that the pink girl shared. One got drunk, and the other got drunk.
They are all reversed words, which are quite common in tongue twisters.
The guy is right. He recited the poem carefully while listening to his own recording. His breathing and rhythm are correct.
A few days ago, Qi Long watched the recruitment of other junior apprentices. There was one who thought that the faster the tongue twisters were, the better. As a result, I couldn't hear a single word of what he said. It was obvious that he had never heard of a tongue twister before, so he just memorized a passage on the spur of the moment.
They may not have memorized it because their eyes were always looking around while they were speaking.
If you're not there, can't you just look at the cheat sheets and the lyrics?
This big bear is pretty good. It doesn’t look around and is always looking at the camera.
After it was over, Qi Long said, "Turn your camera around so I can see it!"
"Take a walk? The house is a bit messy."
"It's okay, I'll just see if there are any cheat sheets!" Qi Long replied.
When he turned around, he found that the room was indeed quite messy. On the table, the wires of various game consoles, computers, and electronic products were tangled together, and there were also some drinks and cigarette butts in the ashtray.
At present, there are no cheat sheets, or they may be hidden in a hidden place.
"Not bad, not bad. What else can you do besides tongue twisters?"
The other party sang a passage from Eight Screens, the one from "Roaring Sky Dog", and it was obvious that he had learned it from a video. His facial expressions were the same, as if he had practiced it seriously.
This type of internet celebrity is one who has at least practiced seriously and is not simply trying to attract attention.
Qi Long gave him a score in his heart: "Okay, let's connect here. Thank you for participating in the Dragon Class selection."
Daxiong was a little disappointed, but soon nodded with a smile: "Okay, thank you Teacher Qi!"
Continuing the live broadcast, although Qi Long took the conversation with a smile, amused the audience, and seriously commented on their work, he did not give a single pass card from beginning to end.
Many candidates were talking to each other on the microphone and said that Qi Long was very strict and had not given them a single card in such a long time.
In fact, Qi Long planned to wait until all the live broadcasts were finished and then give out ten photos according to the scores in his mind, from the top to the bottom.
The advantage of doing this is that you have your own set of standards, so you don't have to be too strict at the beginning because the standards would be lowered as the level of the students later on decreases.
That would be unfair to the students ahead.
There were also some weird students whom he had seen from his nephew, who performed rap for him: [Knife Slashing, Snow Winged Eagle, Mountain Heroic, Soaring into the Sky]
"Your rap is not as good as mine. My rap has content, but yours is just a bunch of random words piled together. There is no story. If you sing on the crosstalk stage, the audience won't be able to listen to you!"
Qi Long then began to sing a verse. The first two lines were his own, but the last part was different:
[Changbanpo is burning, I, Zhao Yun, am killing Cao Cao live.]
He was singing what he saw on a video website. The title was the only rap that I could listen to. When I clicked on it, I saw that it was a rap performed by a funny blogger.
His name is MC Zilong, and all the songs he sang were stories and anecdotes about Zhao Yun, such as saving the young master at Changbanpo, the Five Tiger Generals, and being full of courage, etc.
This word is much better than the rap without any logic. The audience also said that Qi Long is really talented and can do it as he pleases.
Even those who don't like to listen to rap, after listening to his lyrics, they feel like, eh? It seems like they can listen to it!
