Chapter 154 Black Game
The lottery that Lord Hou Zhen mentioned is a sandbox strategy game of the Three Kingdoms. For example, the famous generals in the Three Kingdoms are five-star cards, and the more famous they are, the more powerful they are.
He wanted the Five Tiger Generals, but after spending several hundred dollars, everyone else was able to draw them, but when Qi Long gave him a draw, he only drew Pan Feng and Xing Daorong, who were from the group "Say my name to make you laugh". Naturally, the Marquis criticized him.
Speaking of this game, with Hou Zhen's help, Guo Degang became the game spokesperson, and Qi Long also got a job as a game promoter. He sang two promotional songs, both about "Three Kingdoms".
On the Bulu Bulu station, in addition to music, variety shows, and videos, the most popular thing is comics. However, Qi Long has no interest in comics. Instead, when he was collecting jokes about "The Three Kingdoms", he clicked on an animated version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
There is nothing like it in this world. He thought two of the songs in the book were good. When Hou Zhen approached him about collaborating with him, he copied down the songs.
The show went on one by one, and in the final encore performance, Qi Long sang one of the two songs, titled: "Dreams Are Burning".
This is a song written for Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. If the whole book of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is full of regrets, then the part about his death at Wuzhangyuan must be the most regrettable one.
In the TV series "Three Kingdoms" broadcast on Bilibili, when the prime minister passed away, the number of barrages of [Take care, Prime Minister] reached more than 8 million, all of which were to bid farewell to him.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many readers find it difficult to continue reading after reading two chapters: one is the death of Guan Yu, and the other is the death of the prime minister at Wuzhangyuan.
Therefore, this song was written for the prime minister.
Qi Long sang slowly: [It is difficult to form a partnership, an alliance, or a friendship with the same people. Borrowing wind, fire, and arrows, waving a feather fan. Honor and disgrace, prosperity, all on one shoulder, long-term planning is for today, the dream is burning! ]
In the verse part, the emotions are still quite suppressed, but in the chorus part, the whole voice is no longer suppressed, and starts to soar high notes and express emotions:
[How will the three legs of the tripod land? The Longzhong Dialogue will tell. I only hope that one day when we can wait for the Shu Road, we can continue the "Chu Shi Biao". If we don't make a sound, it's fine. But once we make a sound, it will shake the nine heavens. If we don't make a sound, it's fine. But once we make a sound, it will be higher than the sky! ]
The crosstalk encore is not a stage performance, so Qi Long only sang it once and did not sing the second part.
As his voice finished, the whole audience applauded and Qi Long bowed and stepped back.
Guo Degang stepped forward and said: "If you don't sing, you'll be fine. Once you sing, you'll be louder than the sky. If you don't sing, you'll be fine. Once you sing, you'll be higher than the sky! Look at what this lyric says!"
"That's amazing!" Yu Qian added.
Guo Degang nodded: "Of course not. Look how talented my junior brother is. He is also talented. No one knew him before. But this year, just like his name, Dragon, he immediately took off and is higher than the sky. Everyone likes him, right?"
"Yes!" the audience echoed, and Qi Long, who had already retreated to the group of actors, bowed again to express his gratitude.
"What talents do you have, Junior Brother?" Guo Degang changed the subject: "Come on, Dongqiang, you can do one too!"
Guo Degang waved his hand and asked Gao Dongqiang to come up. Dongqiang smiled and said, "Everyone knows that my senior brother Yu Qianqian is the vice president of the Rock Association."
"Correct!"
“The fact that rock music has a rock association is not so rock, but if I say that the vice president is my senior brother, then it’s too rock!” Dongqiang’s small joke caused laughter at the scene, followed by a rock music.
He liked the song "Glory Days" very much and sang the Cantonese version.
After the song was finished and the audience applauded, Guo Degang asked Yu Qian in confusion: "What did he sing? What happened in the wind and rain?"
Yu Qian explained to him: "Hold on to freedom (exploding liver oil)"
"Wow!" Lao Guo exclaimed: "No wonder he doesn't have a girlfriend!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
The backstage performance, apart from Qi Long and Dong Qiang, was mainly the performance of the apprentices. Some sang popular songs, some sang their own adaptations of songs to tease Guo Degang and Yu Qian, and some danced.
Luan Yunping, Zhou Jiuliang, Qin Xiaoxian, Shang Jiuxi and He Jiuhua were twisting their heads in the front, covering their foreheads.
Yue Yunpeng had a mask of pain on his face, and pointed at Luan Yunping with Qi Long: "Is Luan Yunping crazy?"
"Hasn't he been crazy for a long time? He was crazy during the group show!"
Even Yu Qiandu performed a piece of "Learn to Meow", which made the whole audience boil.
The most lively part of the whole encore program was when Lao Guo sang "The Truth" at the end.
Here Lao Guo just sang: [Talking about Tianqin]
Qi Long led his familiar disciples and shouted two words in unison and rhythmically: [Hey! ]
Lao Guo immediately turned around and asked, "Who shouted?"
Qi Long glanced at Gao Dongqiang, and the two partners acted at the same time in tacit understanding, and Yue Yunpeng was pushed out. Little Yueyue looked aggrieved: "Master, it wasn't me!"
Guo Degang gave him a fan and started singing again. This time, the actors in the back didn't shout, but Qi Long raised his hands in the back, just like a conductor, and the audience shouted, "Hey hey!"
Lao Guo laughed loudly and continued singing. At the end, he asked all the actors to follow him in kicking their gowns. As a result, a group of people kicked their gowns like a crowd of demons. Many people were kicked by the people behind them. The whole stage was filled with the sound of "duang" when their feet touched the ground.
Lao Guo was so happy that he couldn't even straighten his back.
Qi Long had a dazed look on his face. He was missing his master. His master was also a playful person. If he were here, he would surely be happy to play with his disciples and grandchildren!
In the joyful scene, the closing performance officially ended.
After it was over, everyone discussed having a meal together. After all, it wasn’t often that many people gathered together like this. So everyone divided into cars and headed out for a midnight snack.
Seeing Guo Qilin limping into his car, Qi Long asked with concern: "What happened to your leg? It was fine on the stage just now!"
"I have gout. I'm enduring it on stage. I'm wearing cloth shoes that are several sizes too big." Guo Qilin went up holding his leg.
This disease seems to be quite common these days. It seems that tophi will appear when uric acid is too high and cannot be excreted from the body. It is said that it is difficult to cure and can only be suppressed. Drink less beer and eat less food with high purine, especially seafood, soy products, hot pot, broth, etc., which are all purine feasts.
"Oh, I forgot that you love hotpot. Now you can't eat it!" Qi Long smiled and sat in the driver's seat, fastening his seat belt.
Dong Qiang, who didn't drive but got here by Qi Long's car, sat in the passenger seat and adjusted the chair vigorously: "I say, you just don't exercise enough. If you exercise more, your metabolism will improve, and you won't have gout relapses so often!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I exercise less after losing weight. I feel like I'm gaining weight again!"
"Just exercise more."
Qi Long watched him fasten his seat belt and joked, "Here in Dongqiang, exercise can cure 80% of diseases. Why do I hear that many people who work out also have severe gout?"
Guo Qilin answered from the back row: "Because they take in too much protein. Eating too much fish, shrimp, etc. can also cause gout."
"Well, that's true. It still needs to be taken in moderation. Hey, what does gout feel like?" Dong Qiang nodded and asked Guo Qilin curiously.
Guo Qilin replied: "It hurts so much that you feel like you're going crazy!"
Qi Long: "So crazy?"
As they were chatting, they came to a place for midnight snack. When these unscrupulous nephews saw that Guo Qilin couldn't eat seafood, they came one by one to eat crayfish, grilled prawns, fried yellow croaker, etc. and ran to Guo Qilin to eat them. They also deliberately made noises like "wow" and "oh" to express their admiration for the delicious seafood.
This made Guo Qilin envious, and he smiled painfully and helplessly: "Just act like a human being!"
Qi Long smiled as he poured the crayfish broth onto a bowl of noodles he had specifically requested: "Qi Lin, you'll get used to it. I had a physical examination and couldn't eat before, but this group of people kept sending me photos of their midnight snacks!"
It really feels good to do to others what you don’t want others to do to you!
You can't just eat at the table, you have to have some fun. Qi Long asked his apprentices in a serious manner: "You have been working with your partner for so long, do you have telepathy, the kind where you know what the other person is thinking without even looking at each other?"
Hearing him speak so mysteriously, everyone's faces were filled with question marks.
"Master uncle drank too much?"
Qi Long laughed and said, "Dong Qiang and I have this kind of telepathy!"
Of course no one believed what he said, so Qi Long asked Dong Qiang to turn his back and asked them to point to an object on the table and give a number within ten digits without making any sound.
Everyone didn't understand why, but they did it anyway, pointed to the plastic gloves used to eat shrimp, and gave a five.
Qi Long pointed at the plastic gloves and said, "Okay, I'm going to pass this thing to Dong Qiang through telepathy now, watch carefully."
He put his hands to his temples, his whole head began to shake violently, and he rolled his eyes, a standard way of making a fool of himself in crosstalk.
It might make ordinary people laugh, but these crosstalk performers were all watching seriously, wondering if there was something fishy going on.
The two uncles are very far away now, and Uncle Gao has no intention of turning back to look at Uncle Qi, nor does it seem like he is conveying any information through this frequency of movements.
"Okay, Dongqiang, is this Cao Heyang's glasses case?"
Gao Dongqiang looked back at the glasses case and shook his head: "No!"
When Qi Long asked the second question, Dong Qiang would sometimes say no directly, and sometimes he would look back to confirm, and then shake his head to indicate no.
During this time, the fellow apprentices were all watching. Dong Qiang did not look at Qi Long. Qi Long's tone did not change at all, and his expression was serious. He did not make any unnecessary movements.
The fourth question asked him if it was the kelp shreds on the table, and he said no.
When it came to the fifth question, Qi Long pointed at the plastic gloves and asked: "Are they plastic gloves?"
Dong Qiang nodded and shouted without even turning around: "Yes!"
At this moment, all the apprentices were stunned, looking at each other, not knowing what was going on. What was going on? How did they know this?
"Telepathy, you will be able to do it if you perform crosstalk together for a long time!" Qi Long chuckled. This was actually a little magic trick taught to him by Liu Qian that did not require any preparation but only the cooperation of an actor.
We tried it twice more and both times were successful, which amazed everyone even more.
Shaobing, who was impatient, sat directly next to Qi Long: "Uncle, just tell me why, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night!"
"It's very simple. You can go out and fool others. Every time I mention the black object, the next one will be the object you specified. This game is called the Black Game!" Qi Long revealed the answer.
Magic is like this. If you don’t tell it to you, it’s magical. But if you tell it to you, you’ll feel like, eh? That’s it?
Yes, it is that simple, but it is the best way to fool your friends at a party, just like the horse counting game.
"Absolutely awesome!"
Of course, this is not the only game on the dinner table. There is also visiting three gardens. The visiting three gardens by crosstalk actors is different from the usual talking about fruits, animals and the like. They visit the crosstalk garden and say the name of the program.
"What's in the crosstalk garden?"
“Reporting the dishes”, “Counting the numbers”, “Learning foreign languages”, “Sacrificing my wife and son”, “The sheep climbs a tree”.”
Let’s just say the show, the focus is to catch people who say something repeatedly. Once they repeat themselves, they have to drink!
