Chapter 277: Meeting foreign fans in the alley
After the recording of the program was completed, there was unexpectedly a backstage interview session. Qi Long, Dong Qiang, Zhang Wanyi and Qin Xiaoxian all went to be interviewed.
The interviews with the first three people were normal interviews, asking them about their experience of the trip and so on, and the three of them gave normal answers.
When it was Qin Xiaoxian's turn, as soon as he entered the room, the member of the "Let's Run" planning team who planned this episode of zombies smiled at him: "Xiaoxian, do you remember the episode where you were teased by everyone with a hidden camera?"
Qin Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, then entered the state of recording a variety show: "I will never forget it even in my dreams!"
"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, please take some time to come to this place. We have planned a revenge program for you!"
"OK!" Qin Xiaoxian clenched his fists.
"Let me first tell you roughly what to do at that time, so you can prepare in advance."
While Qin Xiaoxian was in the after-collection period, Qi Long and the other two were chatting outside. Qi Long suggested that Dong Qiang go to Deyun Training Institute to meet his nephew, who is also his future apprentice. It happened to be the weekend, and Deyun Training Institute would take a break after morning exercises, so he took his apprentice to visit the imperial capital.
"Okay, you come too. I heard that it was Xia Lingyuan, right? You want to accept a disciple!" Dong Qiang said with a smile.
Zhang Wanyi stared, a little nervous: "Ah? I'm going to be a master's wife!"
Qi Long did not refute, and said tactfully: "Hahahaha, we haven't even started yet, we have to see if the child can hold on!"
"Should I prepare a gift for the child? What cartoons does he like, or what hobbies does he have? I'm not ready yet, and I'm going to be a mother painlessly?"
"Hahahahahahaha!" Qi Long and Dong Qiang laughed out loud together.
When the two of them treated me as their disciples, my master's wife told me the same thing.
By the way, after Qi Long's master left, his master's wife also found other partners, but Qi Long always kept in touch with his master's wife, sending text messages and calling to say hello during the holidays.
There was talk of visiting in the past, but the master's wife said it was inconvenient, so Qi Long never went and just kept greeting his elders.
Regardless of the present, in the past, when I was living in my master's house and performing crosstalk, my master's wife was quite nice to me.
Every time when he was severely scolded by the master and forced to recite lines in the corner and not allowed to eat, the master's wife would secretly prepare food, then send the master outside to play chess or listen to opera, and then let Qi Long eat quickly.
And every time he said he was going out to play, after the master gave him money, the master's wife would secretly give him some more so that he could spend money lavishly.
When I grew up, I realized that this must be something that my master tacitly approved, so Qi Long suggested that I should just give money to the child!
It's different for Dongqiang. He came to the capital to learn crosstalk. His rich father gave him a lot of money, so he never lacked money.
The kindness of his master's wife to him was mainly reflected in food. At that time, Dongqiang was a little fat boy who loved to eat meat, all kinds of meat, and his master's wife cooked them for him in different ways.
Yu Qian, Hou Zhen and Sun Yue from Shijiamen often came to eat the meals cooked by the master's wife for Dongqiang, saying they were delicious!
In short, in the crosstalk world, the master is basically strict, and the master's wife plays the good guy and secretly treats the children well, so many disciples are closer to the master's wife.
"But you can't be strict!" Zhang Wanyi looked at Qi Long.
Ever since I met Qi Long, I have never seen Qi Long get angry with anyone. Even when Dong Qiang put his face in the mud and used it as a mop in a variety show, he pretended to be angry.
Qi Long waved his hands: "I won't be angry or pretend to be angry, okay? My master is always cheerful. When he wants to scold me, he ignores me and I get panicked. Don't worry about the matter of scolding disciples, hahaha!"
"Sister-in-law, please take care of my apprentice. I don't have a partner, so my children can only share a master's wife!" Dong Qiang said with a smile.
Qi Long gave a false kick.
Dong Qiang shrank back: "Jiaoer, that's not what I meant. My apprentice is your nephew, and my sister-in-law is also your aunt, so she is considered an elder!"
"That won't do. I let my nephew worship you just to take advantage of your family's wealth. Without a mistress, let my godfather and godmother take care of him!" Qi Long looked mercenary and calculated.
Dong Qiang: "That's for sure. My parents will also have their grandchildren painlessly!"
“It didn’t hurt at all”
The two of them were talking about how to take care of their apprentices, and they would be strict when it was necessary. They would teach them the rules that they should understand, the etiquette that they should learn, and how to behave, do things, and do art!
The next day, Qi Long and Dong Qiang arrived at Deyun Training Institute, picked up Xiaoyu and Xiaoxia, two apprentices whose nicknames showed their potential as partners, and went out for a walk!
There is no need to mention tourist attractions. The two children came to the capital to learn crosstalk, accompanied by their parents. They came before going to school and have visited the popular tourist attractions. Qi Long and Dong Qiang plan to take them to the hutong for a good meal.
It’s not Nanluoguxiang. When Qi Long and his friends were learning crosstalk in the imperial capital, Nanluoguxiang was an alley that still retained its characteristics, but now it has long since become a commercial street.
There are similar commercial streets in many places across the country. They have one thing in common: they are expensive and the food is not tasty.
On the contrary, there are many delicious small restaurants hidden in other alleys. These restaurants have one thing in common, that is, they are all run in their own houses, and the food is cheap and delicious.
In the capital, the high rent and labor costs force many businesses to sell at a higher price, otherwise they will lose money. There will be no such problem when selling one's own house.
The place they were going to was a grilled lamb chop restaurant of this type.
"Do we want to drive in?" Qi Long asked.
Dong Qiang said unhappily: "If this was your car I would drive it in. It wouldn't cost much if it was scratched!"
He drove a Porsche, stopped at the entrance of the alley, and prepared to enter.
"Ah, Water Gun Man, Sparta!" two foreigners shouted in surprise.
Qi Long and Dong Qiang looked at each other and looked at each other in a friendly manner.
The nicknames they shouted were the names translated from the overseas copyright of "Let's Run". Dongqiang's muscular man was called Sparta, and Qilong's water gun special was named Water Gun Man.
The fact that they can call out these two nicknames indicates that these two foreigners are viewers of their variety show. However, they are obviously white, and their overseas copyright is only released in Southeast Asia.
The other party was obviously very excited and said that they were travel video bloggers on an overseas platform. When they were traveling to Southeast Asia, they saw the show "Let's Run" at the hotel. It was also after watching this show that they came up with the idea to travel to the mysterious China.
I used China’s 144-hour transit visa exemption policy.
When this policy was first implemented, no one quite understood it. Later, travel bloggers came along for the ride and broadcast the real China to the whole world, dispelling all the rumors that defamed us abroad.
These two are two of them.
They politely asked if they could interview him for a few words.
Qi Long and Dong Qiang also came here to play today and were in a relaxed mood, so they said they could chat.
"We heard that China has a social credit scoring system, but after a few days here, we found that no one paid attention to the score. Many people greeted us with a smile. Alas, this is..."
The foreigner spoke English slowly, using gestures while speaking, and said something like this.
Qi Long was puzzled: "The scoring system!"
Dong Qiang laughed: "I know about this. Foreigners made up a story, saying that our every move is strictly regulated and there is a social credit score, which is actually the Sesame Credit score on Taobao. It says that spitting anywhere will result in deduction of points. It's a bit like that in some middle schools!"
Qi Long understood what Dong Qiang said.
Some middle schools with strict management will adopt a student deducting point system to prevent students from making small mistakes frequently without making big mistakes. Points will be deducted for small mistakes, and parents will be called if the deduction reaches a certain point. The student will be kept on probation if the deduction reaches a certain point. If the deduction exceeds this point, the student will be expelled.
Qi Long and his classmates were luckier. When this strict deduction mechanism was implemented, they were already in their third year of high school. The teachers didn't pay much attention to the students, so the deductions were relatively few. Those who were just in the first and second years of high school at that time fared worse.
But this system is only on campus and has nothing to do with society.
Foreigners are quite good at making up stories.
"Hahaha, so amazing? What will happen if the score is low?" Qi Long asked.
Dong Qiang: "Take him out and shoot him in ten minutes!"
"Wow, that would be scary, what if the score is high?"
"They said it would save us money on water and electricity bills!"
"Oh, there is such a good thing? If I get high scores, I will install a light fountain in my house and never turn it off all day long!" The two brothers immediately entered the crosstalk stage and started performing crosstalk as if no one was around.
"Then you should be deducted points for excessive use of water and electricity!"
"Hahahaha!"
The foreigner didn't understand what the two people were saying at all, but he still recorded it with a camera and planned to translate it when he got back.
After talking about this outrageous system made up by others, Qi Long waved his hands at the foreigner and said, "There is no such thing at all!"
