Chapter 221 Qi Long and Yan Hexiang Mixed Small Theater
During the live broadcast, Qi Long told his fellow apprentices who didn't know certain lines that he would teach them, and that was not just talk. Before the live broadcast was over that day, he used his mobile phone to record a few lines that they didn't know and sent them privately to several of his apprentices.
Some of the junior disciples had never met before and only remembered their names but not their WeChat accounts. Yet, they still found Luan Yunping and added him and sent the messages.
In crosstalk, this job is very strictly controlled, and generally, no one will teach you unless you are a close master.
Qi Long currently has no plans to accept any apprentices. Gao Dongqiang’s child is still a long way from being born. Besides, even if he has a child, if the child doesn’t want to learn crosstalk, Dongqiang will not force him. Their family tradition is to let children do what they are interested in.
This skill of mine cannot be passed on to others, so I might as well pass it on to my nephew. If you are eager to learn and work hard, I can teach you more.
If you just plan to learn a few jokes for the rest of your life, then I won't look for you. After all, there are things you want to learn.
Qi Long had just finished his work when Zhang Wanyi came back from school. She was still in the stage of studying and acting at the same time. She usually studied in Tianjin. After school, she took the intercity train back to the house where they lived together.
"Oh, Yi is back?" Qi Long teased with a smile.
Zhang Wanyi smiled and said, "Yes, uncle, I watched your live broadcast on the road. You asked someone to recite the lines at the last minute, which scared your nephews. You drew a simple one and said that there was something wrong with the mobile phone software. You insisted on drawing a complicated one."
"The audience loves to watch it. Haha, the audience is so enthusiastic that they stopped me from going off the air. Why are you moving the drums?" Qi Long looked at her in confusion as she moved the drums out from the corner.
Zhang Wanyi smiled slightly: "Random check homework, come, let's do a passage of "Daiyu Burning Manuscript"!"
Qi Long took the mandarin duck clapboard she handed over and started singing.
He had not learned drum music systematically, but with his foundation in crosstalk, he could imitate it to some extent. Under the guidance of Zhang Wanyi, he had also mastered the singing of drum music long ago. With the help of the teaching in a magical software with little presence, he could sing better than his girlfriend.
But that would be a huge blow to his self-confidence, so he would make mistakes on purpose so that Zhang Wanyi could correct him, give her a sense of accomplishment, and provide emotional value!
"How about changing the assignment?" Qi Long asked happily after singing a song.
Zhang Wanyi looked at him tenderly: "Do you want the teacher to wear a cheongsam? It's the college entrance examination. I wish you a successful start."
"I think swimsuits are good too, I can go bold!"
“Hahahaha.” Zhang Wanyi laughed: “Can we please not be funny when we’re flirting? It really ruins the atmosphere!”
"Wasn't it you who threw the burden away first? How uncomfortable would it be for me if you threw the burden away and I didn't turn it over?"
The day after Qi Long's live broadcast was Gao Dongqiang's. Compared with Qi Long, Dongqiang was more strict. His live broadcast was not as relaxed as Qi Long's. He listened to the talents of the applicants with a serious face, and then corrected the problems, making him seem impartial and fair.
Backstage, Qi Long, who was about to perform a medley of speeches with his partner Yan Hexiang on a variety show, was also paying attention to the live broadcast because he asked his cousin, Jin Xiaoyu, the apprentice he recommended to Dong Qiang, to go up and connect with his master on the microphone.
During the Spring Festival, Qi Long allowed the two people who might become master and apprentice in the future to meet each other through a video call.
His cousin was also a very honest child. He wanted to kowtow to him when he heard him calling him Master. Dongqiang was so scared that he quickly gave him a red envelope!
Jin Xiaoyu successfully connected to the microphone, and as soon as he turned on the microphone, he shouted at the screen: "Master, Master!"
Gao Dongqiang's serious expression immediately disappeared, and he asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
"My uncle asked me to participate. I learned a new skill!"
"Let's sing a piece!" Gao Dongqiang said cheerfully, looking like a completely different person from before.
The cousin first sang an opening song that he learned from Qi Long’s tape.
That was when Qi Long was learning crosstalk. Every time he went home, his parents would ask him to keep a recording and spend money to have it made into a tape. This way, when he went to the capital to learn crosstalk, his parents could listen to the tape when they missed him.
When he went home some time ago, his parents asked him if he could lend it to his cousin. Qi Long agreed, and then he found that the tape was still new, so he probably hadn't listened to it much.
The song is called "Don't Forget the Kindness of Your Parents".
【Life is in the hands of God, don't forget the cycle of retribution. If you borrow a liter from someone, you must return it in full. If you borrow five ounces or half a pound from someone, you must return it in full.】
This is what children generally learn first when learning crosstalk, and it helps them establish correct values in life.
Of course, as a song that is performed on the street to attract people, it must have funny parts.
The middle part talks about the hardship of a mother raising a child, and the end says: Once you get a wife, you forget your mother!
[When his parents say nice things, his son ignores them. When his wife farts, he feels it is sweet. If you don’t believe me when I sing this lyric, you should pay attention. Those who are afraid of their wives will have dry lips! ]
Gao Dongqiang was very satisfied with what he heard. The song sounded very much like the songs Qi Long sang when he was a child, and it was obvious that he learned it from recordings.
He couldn't help but reply: "Yes, your uncle's lips are dry!" Across the screen, Qi Long couldn't help but sigh: "Nonsense!"
In addition to performing the opening song, the cousin also performed the running song and Taiping lyrics. Dongqiang was very satisfied and said, "You are so good, master has nothing to teach you anymore."
"Master, can you help me with the math problems for my summer homework? I'm not good at math!"
"Master is not well either."
The barrage of comments was filled with laughter, and Qi Long also closed the live broadcast and went to work with Yan Hexiang.
As the captains of the four teams, Yan Hexiang and Qi Long, the biggest star of the four teams, their collaboration is naturally the closing performance of the four teams' small theater.
As mentioned before, it would be better for the pair not to go on stage together as a mix of partners, and it would be best for them to perform traditional things, which they both know how to do, and it wouldn't take them long to rehearse the lines, so they decided to perform a traditional ethical crosstalk called "Tying the Baby".
After rehearsing the lines for a while, the two of them went to the side to do their own things, and soon it was their turn to perform.
"Next, please enjoy the crosstalk "Tie the Baby", performed by Qi Long and Yan Hexiang!"
The audience applauded and cheered. The tickets for today's small theater were worth it just for the names of these two people, especially Qi Long.
Some ticket prices are less than a hundred yuan, and you can listen to Qi Long’s crosstalk live, which is a huge profit!
"Thank you all for your enthusiastic applause. Oh, that was Big Brother and the Director just now." Continue the conversation normally and make up a joke using the two people's names.
Yang Hetong is the director. His name is Contract, which sounds like he is in charge of signing contracts.
"It's time for a change of roles. Let me and this widow come up and tell you something!"
Yan Hexiang tilted his body and nodded: "Yes!"
Logically, he should stop Qi Long and ask him why he said that was a widow, but Yan Hexiang's style of supporting role was different. He was an offensive supporting role, so after nodding and saying yes, he didn't make up for it himself, but launched an attack.
Pointing at Qi Long and giving him a thumbs up, he said, "Look, only my uncle likes to play with widows!"
The audience burst into laughter immediately, and the offensive supporting role lived up to its reputation.
"What you said, who doesn't like to play with a widow? Your master likes it too." Qi Long asked back.
Yan Hexiang's eyes lit up: "Oh, he likes it too?"
"Yes, I used to live in a village of widows with your master. I added rice to the pot of widow Wang, added firewood to the stove of widow Zhang, fetched water for widow Li, and fed pigs for widow Zhao. (Qi Long brought more than a dozen widows and more than a dozen farm chores at once, like he was reciting a mantra) It was not easy!"
"Wait a minute, uncle, you are doing all the work, what is my master doing?"
"I get angry just talking about this," Qi Long said, with his hands on his hips, "Tell me, I've done everything, what else can he do?"
Yan Hexiang looked puzzled: "People?"
The dirty jokes made the audience laugh heartily.
"Shut up. You're showing off how much you know. There are some things you can't say. Don't you know?"
Yan Hexiang: "Then I have to be careful of my master recently. He is so wicked. He is too busy for his uncle."
"That's right, your master is really wicked. What's in his name? What's missing in his life!"
Yan Hexiang held the table and asked, "What does Director Wang Jingjing need?"
"That's why they always expose gossip about him and actresses!"
The audience burst into laughter and applauded. It can be seen from the two people's state that the introduction part at the beginning was purely improvised by them. It was all about reaction speed, and the jokes were thrown out quickly.
As expected, he is the best supporting actor among Qi Long and Yun He Jiu Xiao: Yan Hexiang!
