After recording the show, Qi Long took some time out from his busy schedule and took Zhang Wanyi with him when he returned to Beichun City. The two of them officially got their marriage certificate. Although they didn't have a wedding ceremony, they were now a legal couple.
On the day of getting the marriage certificate, the two families had a small meal together, which was considered a family dinner.
Now, they are a family in the legal sense.
The Chinese still regard the wedding banquet as a formal marriage and also the most important day, so Qi Long took a day off that day, and went to perform at the small theater of Beichuncheng Deyun Society the next day. He did not go alone, but brought Jin Xiaoyu and Xia Lingyuan who had already returned to school.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoxia are not students of other Deyun Training Institutes. They have always been in the imperial capital. They are still primary school students and cannot neglect their studies, so they go to the imperial capital every Saturday and Sunday, and have classes from Monday to Friday.
"Master!" Xiaoyu saw Dongqiang sitting backstage and hurriedly called for him.
Dongqiang put down his phone and turned back with a smile: "Hahaha, our little cat's dad is here?"
Jin Xiaoyu was embarrassed immediately. Now the little boy knew that he was not the father of that litter of cats: "Master, you are making fun of me!"
"Aren't you from Qu School? Isn't Qu School a school that people laugh at?" Dong Qiang teased the child.
“That’s the opera school!”
"Hello, Uncle Master!" Xia Lingyuan also greeted Dong Qiang.
Qi Long threw a bag of homemade blood sausage on the table: "This is for you. My mother made it. She also asked me to ask you why you didn't go to the family dinner yesterday?"
"You get the marriage certificate and have dinner with your parents and father-in-law and mother-in-law. What am I going to do? A family dinner."
Qi Long joked: "Aren't you our extra-curricular son?"
"Let me make it clear. I am your parents' godson, not your family's extra-curricular son!" Dong Qiang corrected Qi Long's speech error: "Is it appropriate to call you an extra-curricular son? All of you are my father, right?"
Qi Long waved his hand: "Hey, if you say so, then it's not impossible!"
"No, I just can't. I won't join in the family dinner. It's the family dinner to celebrate your marriage. If I go, my godfather and godmother will urge you to get married." Dong Qiang spread his hands.
"Master, Master, my uncle already has an aunt, Xiaoxia officially has a master's wife, when will I have a master's wife?"
Qi Long laughed at the side and said, "You can't avoid it. Your apprentice is also urging you."
"Hahahaha, okay, I'll work hard and find you a master's wife!"
When faced with his family urging him to get married, Dongqiang would not even mention trying hard, but he could tease the children: "Okay, have you two missed any lessons during school? Come on, recite a passage for me and Mr. Qi!"
Poor quality red herring.
After showing some contempt in his heart, Qi Long began to listen attentively to his apprentice's performance.
After a while, more and more people came backstage, and the junior brothers from Deyun Team 5 also came. Everyone surrounded the junior brothers and listened to their performance.
There are flaws, but I'm not afraid!
"That's great. Why don't you two come up and sing a short segment during the encore performance later?" Qi Long asked with a smile.
The two children's eyes lit up immediately. They really wanted to go on stage, but there are rules in the crosstalk industry. They are not allowed to go on stage without their master's permission. They thought they would have to wait for a long time, but they did not expect to be able to go on stage today.
"Really?"
Qi Long nodded: "You can't perform officially, but it's okay to perform in reverse. It's lively anyway, come up and say a few lines of dialogue!"
During the official performance, the audience has bought tickets. If the two of them go on stage, it would be a waste of their ticket money. If they go on stage without reaching a certain level, it would be the same as cheating the audience out of their money.
When Qi Long and Dong Qiang followed their respective masters to perform in people's gardens all over the country, they always wanted to go on stage.
After every performance, I helped clean up. After cleaning, I would stand on the stage and pretend that the chairs below were the audience. I was always looking forward to performing on stage. Sometimes I even felt that I was qualified enough to go on stage, but my master never asked me to go on stage, and I felt unconvinced.
As a result, not long after, the two of them were called onto the stage by their master during the encore performance to perform in front of everyone.
I have basically forgotten what happened at that time. I just remember that when I got on the stage, I found that there were audiences sitting below and there were only chairs, which was completely different. I was so nervous that I finished the performance in a daze.
When they were stepping down from the stage, the two masters said with stern faces that they had brought shame upon themselves.
A series of educations have come. You are anxious to go on stage, and this is the result. Do you think that if you have a level of 50, you can perform an effect of 80 on stage? Impossible, you have to have a level of 90 to perform an effect of 60 on stage.
At that time, there were passers-by who said that what they said was problematic, which was a big blow to the two kids. They didn't want to talk about going on stage again in the short term and wanted to focus on learning crosstalk.
Later I found out that the people sitting downstairs for the encore performance that day were not the audience at all, but a group of colleagues from the railway department of my master's unit.
Before the two of them went up, the master had instructed the workers not to be happy no matter how happy the two kids were, because they thought they were too capable and wanted to go on stage every day and didn't study hard, so they had to be discouraged.
When they knew about this, Qi Long and Dong Qiang were dumbfounded again. The master was so cunning that he bullied us two ignorant kids.
Qi Long and Dong Qiang, who had never been masters, discussed copying their masters' dirty tricks.
They let the children go up for a while during the backstage, but they will not ask the audience not to applaud. They should applaud and tell the children that they are just encouraging them, but actually they are still far from achieving enough. If you don’t believe me, ask your seniors.
There is no need to entrust the audience, just entrust the junior brothers and sisters from Team 5!
Then tell them that they still have a long way to go, and don’t aim too high, but just keep their feet on the ground and practice hard.
The previous programs were performed one after another, and soon it was the turn of Qi Long and Gao Dongqiang's closing show. Nowadays, many Deyun actors go out to take on jobs, including commercial performances and special shows. Team Five is no longer led by team leader Shaobing and Cao Heyang. Recently, Team Five has been led by Jin Henan and Zhu Hecong.
When Qi Long and Dong Qiang came, they were naturally ranked second from the bottom.
"Next, please enjoy the crosstalk "Anti-Seven Mouths", performed by Qi Long and Gao Dongqiang!"
"Okay!!! It's coming!"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Qi Long and Gao Dongqiang quickly walked to the front of the stage and bowed to everyone.
"Just now, our two junior apprentices, Jin Henan and Zhu Hecong, performed a segment called 'Face Reading'."
"Correct!"
"The skills I learned from fortune-tellers have been turned into crosstalk, with some humorous segments added in. It's very interesting. Let the two of you take a break. It's our turn to go on stage for this part!"
"Continue to perform crosstalk for you!"
"First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Qi Delong, and his name is Qi Dongqiang. We are Qi Delong, Qi Dongqiang, Qi Delong Donglong Dongqiang." As he spoke, Qi Long began to sing a folk tune from the Northeastern region. While singing, he also moved his hands and feet and danced the yangge.
"Hey, don't be crazy. When did my last name become Qi?" Dong Qiang retorted.
Qi Long: "What's your last name?"
"high!"
"Gao? Is there a Gao among the Hundred Family Surnames? Zhao, Qian, Sun Gao?"
"Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li."
"Zhou Wu Zheng Gao?"
"."
This is a classic crosstalk opening segment, called "Mo Man'er", which is about a surname. It's not very funny, but it shows the artist's skills. Today, the apprentice is backstage, and the two of them are going to perform a proper segment, so Mo Man just does it obediently.
Dongqiang said that if he didn’t know the Hundred Family Surnames, he shouldn’t recite them. Qilong then recited a series of them, starting from the first row of “Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li” and all the way to the 22nd one: “Pi, Bian, Qi, Kang”!
The speed of his mouth was getting faster and faster, and each word was pronounced clearly, and the audience applauded after hearing it. He was not funny, but it was really admirable, because I couldn't do it myself!
"You're capable!" Dong Qiang saw Qi Long stop and praised him.
Qi Long was puzzled: "Not high? I have memorized 22 sentences, four words in each sentence, four times 22, that should be more than 100, right?"
"You're not good at math. Eighty-eight."
Qi Long said the last four sentences again: "These last four sentences are not as good as yours, you are not one of the Hundred Family Surnames!"
"It's from the Hundred Family Surnames. Gao, Xia, Cai, and Tian. It ranks 153rd among the Hundred Family Surnames!"
Qi Long pointed at him and smiled: "Look at this guy, he said I'm not good at math? He can't even compare. There are 100 surnames in the Hundred Family Surnames, and you are ranked 153rd. 153 is greater than 100, so there must be 153 surnames!"
"Teacher Qi, Teacher Qi, you are wrong. Who told you that there are only 444 surnames in the Hundred Family Surnames? There are 60 single surnames, double surnames, and more than surnames?"
"Ah? That says this person doesn't know how to count!"
Dong Qiang stopped Qi Long and explained to him: "It's not that I don't know how to count. This hundred is just a concept, not a specific number. It means a lot. The common people of dawn, he didn't mean a hundred families, he meant all the civilians!"
"Oh, how many hundred does it represent?"
"Yes, 'a thousand hammers and a hundred forgings' doesn't mean a thousand hammers and a hundred times, it means a lot."
Qi Long suddenly realized: "I've learned something. Dongqiang is really knowledgeable. This is mainly because his family doesn't need him to support them. It's easy to support them so they have time to study. My family is hard to support. Why? Our family has one more person than theirs, and one more person means one more mouth to feed."
"Yes, no, your family has the same population as ours. There are six of us!"
"We have one more person in our family than you do. We have seven people in our family!"
Dong Qiang waved his hands: "No, no, no, no, I know your family. There are six people in your family."
The two of them have gotten into the act now, and they got into it quickly today, because there is one more group of crosstalk performers in today's program, so there are fewer idle jokes and filler words. Qi Long and Dong Qiang also performed traditional crosstalk, and did not intend to say so many filler words.
This performance was added purely to trick the apprentice!
The job is that the funny man says there are seven people in his family, and the straight man says there are only six people in your family. Then the funny man takes advantage of the straight man ethically while trying to count the number of people to seven. It's an ethical job.
"It's different. I have a wife, but you don't."
"I have a younger sister, which is equivalent to your wife!"
Qi Long suddenly realized: "Oh, your sister is my wife."
"Correct!"
"Oh~ your sister is my wife."
"Why does this sound so strange?"
"Even if it were equal to ours, it would still be one more mouth than yours. You should count yours first."
Dong Qiang counted on his fingers: "My father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, me and my sister, six people in total!"
"There are seven people in our family. Let's make a bet. If you count seven people in our family, you give me a hundred dollars!"
Dongqiang stretched out his fingers and said that he would count one finger at a time. When all five fingers were down, he started to stretch out his fingers. When the little finger was stretched out, it was the sixth person, and when the ring finger was stretched out, it was the seventh person.
He counted the people in Qi Long's family. Whenever he counted the ring finger, it would be Dong Qiang's turn to count. If the ring finger was not extended, Qi Long would lose.
"Row!"
Dongqiang snapped his fingers, first snapping his thumb: "The first one, your dad."
"Hey~~~~" Qi Long agreed: "Hey? Just now we said that the bet is one hundred yuan, right?"
"yes?"
“Is this WeChat or Alipay?”
Dong Qiang said impatiently: "All is fine!"
"Come back, come back."
Dongqiang snapped his fingers: "The first one is Daddy"
"Hey~~~" When Qi Long agreed this time, the audience below also agreed: "Eh? This hundred yuan should not be a pure hundred yuan, it should be the same as the Hundred Family Surnames, it must be a lot!"
"No, no, no, this time the hundred is a specific hundred, just one hundred yuan, no more!"
"Oh, then try again."
Dong Qiang counted again, and this time the whole audience laughed along. Qi Long was laughing. Dong Qiang asked him, "No, what are you laughing about? I mean, your dad is laughing along with them, and you're still laughing along with them?"
Qi Long's expression disappeared instantly, and the audience burst into laughter.
This is how the job was performed, but without what Dong Qiang said. Originally, it was the supporting role that was being copied, and Qi Long always felt something was wrong. People called him "your dad", and you and that, there is not much advantage, so he added this scene, and there was a comedy reversal effect.
Dongqiang continued to count, your mother, and the female audience nodded their heads in the audience.
Qi Long glanced at the audience and sighed, "If my father knew I have so many mothers, he would be so happy!"
Another burst of laughter.
Dongqiang pointed at the laughing audience and said, "Indeed, look, your fathers are all laughing!"
"Go, go, count faster and don't give them the chance to interrupt!" Qi Long urged. These two parts were changed to increase audience interaction.
Dongqiang continued: "Your brother, your sister-in-law, you and your wife, six people, I didn't even extend my ring finger!"
Qi Long went over and twisted his hand: "Stretch it out, you don't know, why should I stretch it out?"
Qi Long thought about it and said that he had counted wrong and asked him to count himself.
Dongqiang whispered to the audience at this time: "Wait a minute, when he counts and says my dad, everyone will count with me, hey ...
At this time, Qi Long started counting and directly broke off two fingers: "They are an old couple!"
"Huh? That's not right. You have to count one bite at a time. You have to count your father!" Dong Qiang corrected.
Qi Long nodded and pointed at Gao Dongqiang: "Oh, your father?"
“Hey!!!” the audience chimed in.
Dong Qiang punched the air in frustration: "Hey, I didn't get the bargain, so he copied it back to me!" (End of this chapter)
