Chapter 229 Village Evening’s invitation!
The official crosstalk couple is the biggest oddity since the recording began. Compared with them, the lesser actors who came later did not seem so bad.
Regardless of what the other three observers said, Qi Long still maintained his own standards and chose to give or not.
The only time the standards change is when facing the actors from Deyun Society.
It's not lenient, but rather strict, the three German art society observers appear to be quite shady in the first place.
The Deyun contestants also know that they have to do better than others in order to get the badge.
Fortunately, Meng Hetang, Zhou Jiuliang, Xie Jin and Li Hedong all performed well, and won the promotion card with their leg skills and crazy "I am the master" stage performance.
In addition to these two couples, there was another German artist participating in the show, named Liu Zhe.
However, his funny partner is not a German actor, but a female crosstalk artist from China's treasure island, named Ji Tianyu.
In front of them was a father and son, who, at Liu Zhe's suggestion, took over the conversation.
To take over the conversation is to continue the work of the previous actor, say a few words, and draw the audience's attention from the previous scene to this one.
In this show, performances are decided by drawing lots, so the responses are basically improvised.
"At first, we were standing on the sidelines and heard the old man in the front shouting, 'I'm your father.' I was wondering, how old is he, and why is he still making jokes?"
"He is a father with his own son, this is not an ethical joke!"
"I see. That's what I said. Ethical jokes are not fun. On stage, I'm your mother. I'm your mother."
As she spoke, she pointed at Liu Zhe and started to talk.
This is a routine response to the previous show's ethical gags, copying something cheap and then saying what you hate the most.
"If you dislike that, don't laugh!" Liu Zhe also followed this routine to praise.
Hearing this, Qi Long smiled and shook his head.
When the two finished their performance, Qi Long spoke up: "Brother Zhe is a good person. Miss Ji Tianyu, right? Girls should not use ethical jokes on stage, you are not taking advantage of them."
When these words were spoken, the other three observers and Liu Zhe all laughed, because they knew what he meant.
The female players may not have been taken advantage of by others, so they are a little confused.
"If my brother Zhe had said to you: How happy would my father be? How would you have responded?"
This is what Qi Long meant, girls use ethical jokes, not cheap ones.
He still held back when he said this, but if this was a small theater, and you met that old rogue, you would have no choice but to say "I want to suck milk".
So in Qi Long's opinion, changing "dad" to "mom" is two completely different things.
The female contestant also understood and nodded in agreement: "Thank you, Mr. Qi, I won't need it in the future. My partner was also a woman before, and I never thought about this."
This is Qi Long’s point of view. If no one points you out, you really wouldn’t be able to think of this little thing!
The shows were recorded one by one from dawn to dusk, and they didn't finish until the early morning. Qi Long was fine, as he felt refreshed thanks to the system's magical props, but the others were already feeling dizzy.
Qi Long sent Teacher Zhang Guoli, Senior Brother Guo and others to their rooms and settled them down before he went back to watch videos.
Since he is at home, he often watches crosstalk and variety shows with Zhang Wanyi, and sometimes he has to watch TV series with her. Now the time Qi Long uses to absorb nourishment from another world has become the time he spends working outside the city.
The next day at noon, when Qi Long was preparing to board the plane at the airport, he received a call from an unfamiliar number.
Nowadays, scam calls are marked with something, but this one had no mark at all, so he answered it: “Hello!”
"Hello, Lei, this is Qi Long, right? I'm the director of this year's CCTV Village Gala. Now, Sa Beining and Nigmat are preparing to perform a skit with you. Do you have any objection?" the other party asked in a strange tone.
"Director? Are you kidding me?" Qi Long asked when he heard the strange accent.
CCTV hasn't even decided on the director for this year's Spring Festival Gala, so how could a director ask him to perform a skit? And I've never heard of a director with such an accent.
"Hahaha, you're not easy to fool, but Yueyue is." Sa Beining revealed his original voice. He asked where Qi Long was. Their program was going to have a village evening show, a performance in the countryside, but the production team didn't prepare any guests, so they had to catch them on the spot.
At first glance, it is Director Xie's style, who is known for his prank shows, and he likes to give the guests difficult problems on the spur of the moment.
"When it comes to language programs, the first person I thought of is you!" Sa Beining said sincerely.
Qi Long didn't believe a single punctuation mark: "You just said Yue Yue was easy to cheat!"
"You are not on the same track, he is a magician!" Sa Beining responded confidently.
Qi Long laughed out loud after hearing this, and the challenge team members often teased Yue Yue about turning into a roast chicken during the Spring Festival Gala.
"Where is it? Is there an appearance fee? Is there food included? If I bring Dongqiang with me, can you give me Dongqiang's share of the money as well?"
"No!" Dongqiang pushed him aside, "What? Just take my share of the money too?"
Sa Beining was overjoyed that Qi Long was still his partner. That was perfect. No need to make another phone call. They could come together and participate in the village party together.
"I really want to go, but I'm not in the imperial capital, I'm in the magic city!" Qi Long said he was helpless.
Unexpectedly, Sa Beining was even happier: "That's even closer. We are in Xucheng, Jiang Province. It's a free shipping area. It's very close. You can buy a high-speed train directly and I will reimburse you!"
Ah. Is this such a coincidence?
Qi Long said something to Guo Degang, and he and Dong Qiang refunded their tickets, went to the high-speed rail station, and rushed all the way to Xucheng, Jiang Province.
Sa Beining, who said he would reimburse them, came up and hugged them: "I have hugged them!"
"Go away! Why hug me like that?" Qi Long joked with a smile.
The reimbursement and appearance fees were negotiated between the program team and the agency. Qi Long and Dong Qiang were just responsible for asking about the situation.
Under the leadership of Sa Beining, they came to the village committee in the suburbs. The plan was already written on the blackboard above. It was the programs provided by the talented villagers in this village and nearby villagers. There were a few blank spaces, so they had to take part.
This program is a rural variety show hosted by CCTV. In addition to the familiar Xiao Sa and Xiao Ni, there are also the big-headed sweet girl Bingbing, Zhu Guangquan, and the children's channel programs Red Bubble and Green Fruit.
Among them, the red and green partners provided a duet of love song, Bingbing and a rock singer group who were temporarily recruited sang a song, and Sa, Ni, and Zhu formed CCTV F4 with Kang Hui who was rushing here to sing a song.
There were still three gaps in the programs. Since the talents provided by the villagers were mostly singing and dancing, everyone thought that these three programs would be best to be language programs. They kept looking for familiar crosstalk and sketch actors, and thus brought in Qi Long and Dong Qiang.
"What shall we do?" Qi Long asked Dong Qiang.
Dong Qiang raised his hand to signal him to decide, Qi Long thought for a moment and said, "How about we do my senior's work "I Love Traveling", isn't this our travel program?"
"Row!"
"Our program is set!" Seeing that Dongqiang agreed, Qi Long directly asked Sa Beining to write it.
Sa Beining is getting more and more demanding. He finally managed to get a guest, so how can he just let him perform once and then settle the bill? He needs more guests and another one.
Qi Long looked at everyone who was looking forward to it and suggested, "How about this, you, me, Xiao Ni, Teacher Zhu, and Dong Qiang, the five of us do a group talk show, how about that? I have a piece in mind, the show is called "Five Senses Pushing Through"!"
Also a program from another world, "Five Senses" has two versions. One is Ma Ji's version, which is very classic, and the other is performed by his son. It's not as good as his father's version, but it's not bad either, so it can be used.
As for the better facial features, he planned to use it again if he had the chance in a bigger occasion!
"You've thought of it already? Do you have a script?"
"Give me a notebook and I can write right now. It's all in my mind!" Qi Long said confidently.
My memory is there, so writing a program should be a piece of cake, right?
