Chapter 101 The Prank Continues
When Qi Long stood up from the chair, he could clearly feel his legs were a little weak, just like when he first stepped off the crosstalk stage.
At this time, Xiao Sa ran in happily and laughed at Qi Long.
"I'm your supporting actor. That sentence made me laugh to death!" Sa Beining bent over with laughter.
Qi Long was puzzled: "You have been watching!"
"Well, next we will look at the victim at the back together!" Sa Beining invited him to go to the studio on the other side, where there were monitors and listeners for the cameras here, so they could watch in real time. As soon as Qi Long came in, Sa Beining was there watching.
Of course, Sa Beining also took up the challenge. He was the first one, and no one could watch his fun. For this, Xiao Sa was very proud: "You didn't see my embarrassment."
"Will you be embarrassed?" Qi Long didn't believe it.
The most professional among the six people is Sa Beining. His legal program is a news program, which should be a piece of cake for him.
"You overestimate the humanity of the director team!" Sa Beining sighed.
The director team also knew that he was a professional, so they assigned him a more difficult challenge. He was reporting the six o'clock news program as a single person, without any seniors to lead him.
Everything was going smoothly at first, but when it was almost over, the disguised news director suddenly said in the headset that he wanted to interrupt with a piece of news.
Due to the urgency of the matter, there was no time to make any revisions to the manuscript or record it into the teleprompter, so I just handed the manuscript to him.
He had only one minute to prepare while other news footage was being broadcast. There were a lot of unfamiliar words and numbers in the news, such as the number of people infected with influenza worldwide had reached 123,847, how many people had recovered, how many were seriously ill, and all sorts of other things.
The key is to write it in Arabic numerals, and he has to mark the numbers quickly.
After Sa Beining's explanation, Qi Long and Sa Beining reached a consensus, that is: the director is not a human being!
It’s hard to suffer yourself, but it’s refreshing to see others suffer.
The next victim was Nicometti. When he learned that he, an entertainment show host, was going to broadcast the news, he looked like he was about to fall apart. He pursed his lips, had a bitter face, and his eyes were dull.
Qi Long and Sa Beining were laughing wildly in another small room.
Xiao Sa, Xiao Ni's bad friend, even took out his mobile phone to take pictures and record the desperate Xiao Ni.
When Qi Long saw Xiao Ni take off his suit jacket to put on makeup, he came up with a plan, and after discussing it with Xiao Sa, they sneaked into the studio together, asked Xiao Ni's assistant for Xiao Ni's cell phone, turned it to volume mode, and then put his phone in his suit pocket.
The two planned to wait until Nicometti sat in the studio and counted down one minute to get ready, and then give him a call!
"You, a crosstalk actor, are really mean!" Sa Beining laughed.
"How fun, hahahaha!"
"I have an idea too!" Sa Beining also had a malicious idea. He knew that there was a small rack for towels under the anchor desk.
If the anchor is sweating, he can quickly wipe it off while interrupting other news.
He planned to apply cooling oil on a towel, and then find Li Zimeng, the prankster, to cooperate with him. After Nicomati finished his report, he would remind him that there was something on his temple and ask him to wipe it with a towel.
Just imagine applying cooling oil on your temples. It feels so refreshing that you can’t even open your eyes!
When I was in school, some people did this to stay alert.
"You're quite mean!" Qi Long responded immediately after hearing his plan.
"Thank you for the compliment!" Sa Beining chuckled.
After the brothers finished preparing for the prank, they returned to the studio. To their surprise, there was an extra tablet computer that was making a video call.
On the other side of the tablet, Sha Yi was disheveled in the cold wind.
"What's going on?" Qi Long asked the staff.
"Nikomaiti's news program 'News Live Room' has a segment where he connects with outside reporters. The reporter is Sha Yi. He will be at the Imperial Capital Zoo and introduce the three pandas in the zoo to everyone!" the program staff replied.
As he spoke, he handed them a stack of documents, which contained a very long introduction to the three pandas at the Imperial Capital Zoo: Mengda, Menger and Menglan.
Moreover, Sha Yi was not in the studio and did not have a teleprompter, so he could only clip the script to the camera, and the program crew deliberately made the font very small.
"Hahahaha! Director Xie really knows how to have fun!" They both laughed together.
This time, two people are playing a prank together.
Time passed quickly. As a CCTV host, Nigometti had gotten over the confusion caused by the sudden news and sat calmly at the director's desk.
His advantage over Qi Long is that Qi Long graduated from a broadcasting and hosting major and also learned news reporting in school, so his situation is much better now.
"I'm better than you. You were sitting there swallowing your saliva and the camera gave you a close-up!" Sa Beining commented.
Qi Long took out his cell phone: "He immediately lost his composure!"
The countdown was announced to begin, and Qi Long called Xiao Ni.
"Whose phone is this? Turn it off!" the director yelled. Nicometti was startled and found the phone in his suit pocket. He immediately panicked and stood up to the assistant who came running over and handed him the phone: "Hey, how could you put your phone in my pocket? Why didn't you turn it to silent?"
"sorry Sorry!"
"Get off the camera quickly!" Nicometti reminded, and sat down on the stage in a hurry, his previous calmness gone.
The two people who had successfully pulled off the prank were watching from behind the scenes, laughing in a gloating manner.
Qi Long's prank is over, and the next step is the connection between Xiao Ni and Sha Yi. According to his script, he is the frontline reporter Xiao Sha, so Xiao Ni doesn't know that Xiao Sha is Sha Yi.
The connection was connected, and a reporter wearing a panda head but not showing his face waved his hand: "Hello, hosts. I am wearing the same headgear as our Xizhimen San Taizi panda Menglan. Isn't it very cute?"
After saying that, Sha Yi took off the hood with his left hand, but the hood was too tight and he had a big head, so it got stuck on his nose. He took a lot of effort to take it off, and his hair was pulled up into a broomstick.
Nicometti couldn't hold it in any longer at that moment, and he was on the verge of breaking down in laughter.
He could only purse his lips, grit his teeth, and insist on nodding.
“Hahahaha, he must be wondering, why is it Sha Yi!”
In comparison, Sha Yi didn't know the other person was Xiao Ni, so he was much better. However, it was visibly that he was very nervous, with his eyes completely focused outside the camera. He was trying hard to read the script, which was inexplicably funny.
This resulted in Nicometti having to hold back his laughter all the time.
When Sha Yi's not-so-smooth broadcast ended and the call ended, Li Zimeng pointed at his temple and the towel underneath.
Nicometti wiped it, and it was black and sour. His eyes felt cool instantly. It was as if the wind was blowing on him when he opened his eyes. He blinked frantically, but it was his turn to report personally, so he had to hold on, which brought laughter to Qi Long and Sa Beining.
After the Nicomati challenge, it was Ruan Jingtian again. His show was another new one. The way he tried to speak Taiwanese dialect was also very funny. Sha Yi also connected with him and talked about the habitats of other animals. Ruan Jingtian was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that tears came to his eyes.
Finally, there was Yue Yunpeng, who was pulled into a sports program and pretended to be a basketball commentator.
As a person who usually doesn't watch basketball, he has to remember the names of more than a dozen foreign basketball players and recite the analysis of the situation on the court written by others. These difficult-to-pronounce names really broke his defenses.
When he finally found out it was a prank, he rushed towards the director team, shouting with a look of grievance that the director was a beast!
The six people gathered together. Director Kang and Li Zimeng came in, commented on their performance, and ranked them. Qi Long ranked first.
Sa Beining immediately refused to accept the result: "Director Kang, you can't retaliate against me. I did a great job!"
"You have six typos," Director Kang pointed out his problem mercilessly, "Deduct twelve thousand. Qi Long has no typos!"
"Hey, his characters don't have any uncommon characters. I protest!"
"The protest is invalid!" Director Kang immediately responded.
"Okay!" Sa Beining stood back obediently.
Nicometti, who was trying not to laugh, ranked third; Ruan Jingtian, who spoke unstandard Mandarin, ranked fourth; Yue Yunpeng, who mispronounced several foreign basketball players' names, ranked fifth; and Sha Yi, who almost stuck to the camera in order to read the script during the broadcast, ranked sixth.
After making the following rankings, they will complete another career experience of the day: post-show!
The task is as follows: the program team will give them the first episode that has been roughly edited and divided into six segments. They need to type in the words spoken by all the members in the six segments as subtitles.
Among the six clips, some have a lot of audio coverage, with Qi Long and Sa Beining having the most!
The director said that in their recorded tapes, there were almost no gaps in the audio, and they kept talking non-stop. They could be called audio hooligans!
When they heard the words "audio hooligans", everyone immediately laughed and nodded. Indeed, they were too poor.
Qi Long immediately raised his hand: "I'm audio!"
Everyone reacted and laughed again. Sa Beining ran over and pushed Qi Long: "You are the hooligan!"
According to the ranking of the first round, Qi Long is first. He can ask a question first and select a clip.
His question was which videotape showed Yue Yunpeng doing manicures.
"Xiao Yue told me at that time that his manicure business in the university town was deserted, so there must not be many subtitles!" Qi Long said proudly.
However, Qi Long regretted it after he opened it. This clip was indeed Yue Yunpeng selling manicures. The problem was that the director team cut Qi Long's hot selling of healthy meals and Yue Yunpeng's deserted manicure together for comparison.
You have to bear the consequences of your own sins!
The key point is that when selling things, Qi Long would occasionally stop, but the editing team would delete the irrelevant parts and only keep the parts that he spoke well and quickly.
Qi Long was typing away on the keyboard, complaining to the camera: "I want to apologize to all the post-production staff of the variety shows I have participated in. I'm sorry, I didn't expect I could say that!"
On the side, the real post-production soul of the program crew complained: "You haven't stopped yet!"
“I’m not going to change it!”
"Hahahahahaha!"
