Chapter 263 Cruise Ship Crosstalk Performance
After the super power special was recorded, Qi Long focused on preparing for the performance and proposal on the cruise ship.
Deyun Club’s commercial performances are not only held in city theaters, but cruise companies also invite them to perform on ships.
Under Lao Guo's arrangement, Qi Long took this job for the first time.
It was his first time on such a luxurious cruise ship, but Dong Qiang had been on it many times. He introduced it to Qi Long and Zhang Wanyi like a tour guide.
This is the commercial area, with more than a dozen restaurants, each one serving different kinds of food.
That's the entertainment area, with concert halls, theaters, and teahouses. We performed in the teahouse.
"Dongqiang, after we finish the performance in the teahouse, you must be going to the theater. I want to see what's being performed in the concert hall!"
"Speak clearly, okay, usually it's a Western music band or something, I can help you check when there is a performance," Dongqiang said.
In fact, he just looks for when the concert hall is vacant and not in use, and asks to borrow it. If he is not allowed to lend it to others, he has to pay for it!
Dongqiang didn't expect things to go so smoothly. The cruise ship and Deyun Club are long-term partners. They were very happy that Qilong and Dongqiang were on board to perform crosstalk. When they heard that they had a request, what money did they want? Just do it.
It is free to listen to crosstalk on the cruise ship, as it is included in the cruise ticket. The reputation of Deyun Society is still effective, and many crosstalk fans with more money buy tickets from them.
During the evening performance, the storyteller was still telling stories in the afternoon teahouse, and some crosstalk fans had already gone over to grab seats and listen.
At night, the place was packed with people. Many people had no seats and had to stand while waiting for the Deyun Society's performance.
The first program was "Sacrificing Wife and Son" by Guo Qilin and Yan Hexiang, and the second program was the appearance of Qi Long and Dong Qiang.
As soon as Hou Zheng finished his announcement, the audience applauded and shouted, "Good!!!"
Qi Long clapped his hands and walked happily to the center of the stage, looking at the audience: "Oh, so many people?"
“Everyone is enthusiastic!”
"Why don't we sell some standing tickets for future commercial performances? And some squatting tickets!"
"Squatting tickets?"
Qi Long talked about the crosstalk "Selling Tickets": "Crouching under the table, under the chair, we made a good joke, the audience squatting patted the legs of the audience sitting: Please make way for me."
"What are you doing?"
“I have to scream good!!!”
Faced with a joke he had heard at least a hundred times, Dong Qiang acted bewildered as if he had heard it for the first time: "Oh, to make people spread their legs just to get some cheers?"
"In addition to squatting, let's also get some hanging tickets. You see there are quite a few audiences standing by the wall, and there is still some empty space on the wall. Hammer a row of nails and let the audience hang there to listen!"
"Hey, are you hanging on and listening?"
"There's another advantage to hanging a head. No matter how badly we talk, they can't escape!"
The plot of "Selling Tickets" made the audience laugh out loud.
"Are you heartless?"
"This is all a joke, just to make you laugh. How can you hang the audience? If you want to hang someone, you should hang us actors. Hang us on the plaque at the entrance of the teahouse, and people on the street can hear us. I'll use a wire to hang me up, and you can use a white silk to wrap around your neck and hang you up!"
"Am I going to die?"
Qi Long said very quickly: "If they don't like you, then die in front of them!"
"I haven't heard of it. I died before they could even have a chance to be happy!"
The whole place burst into laughter.
Qi Long continued: "It was all a joke. How could I let you die? What did the show say just now? We are friends who have sacrificed their wives and children for each other. You haven't even married yet, so how could I bear to let you die?"
"You can't bear to part with me or my future wife?"
"No, there's no such thing as entrusting one's wife and son to someone else. One is rich, the other is poor, and our friendship is clear. To be honest with you, this is the situation between us. Dongqiang is from a wealthy family, and I'm relatively poor. When we go out to eat, we don't go Dutch!"
"That is?"
“AB system!”
Dongqiang was puzzled: "What does this AB system mean?"
"You A, I'm licking your B face to eat!"
The audience laughed, and then applauded. This was the first time I heard that there was an AB system for eating, and it was explained so perfectly.
"Such an AB?"
"The gap between the rich and the poor can be seen from how they sleep. When I'm going to sleep, I'll send a message to people saying, 'I'm going to sleep on the floor. Look, there's no bed.' People with better conditions will say, 'I'm going to bed.' People with better conditions will go back to their rooms to sleep (I have my own room here). Even better, I'll go upstairs to sleep (at least my house is a duplex)! It's different in Dongqiang!"
"I'm?"
"I took a taxi from our living room to the bedroom to sleep!"
"Huh? We have to take a taxi from the living room to the bedroom?"
"Of course not. Your house is too big. The first time I went to your house, I almost cried. You live in a manor the size of a small community, with more than 700 people living there!"
“That’s a residential area with more than 700 people living there.”
"No, no, no, except for your family of three, the rest are staff serving you. Your parents' bedroom is as big as this teahouse. That's your dad!" Qi Long pointed at a large audience in the teahouse.
The audience cheered: "Oh!"
"My seventy plus are not for serving our family, but for serving my seventy plus fathers, right?"
"Your mother is over there!" This time it was a female audience member who took over.
Dong Qiang pushed him: "Nonsense."
"No, really. The bedroom is twice as big. There's a bed on your dad's side and a bed on your mom's side!"
"You two still sleep separately?"
"There's a door next to your father's bed that leads to the nanny's room."
"Ah?" Dongqiang was surprised, and the audience laughed, "You know."
"Don't get the wrong idea. His dad is a good eater. If he wants to eat something, he just asks for it and the nanny will bring it to him!"
"Oh, nearby service!" Dongqiang also helped to explain.
"Like late at night, when his father is hungry, he just shouts and the nanny comes in to feed him!" Qi Long said seriously.
Dongqiang: “They didn’t mean this wrongly.”
The audience burst into laughter.
Qi Long continued: "Besides, there is a door next to your mother's bed, which leads to the bodyguard's room."
"Oh~~~"
"No, don't get the wrong idea. Your mother is timid and prone to nightmares. If she wakes up from the fright and starts crying, the bodyguard will come in, pick her up, rock her in her arms, and sing a lullaby."
"So my dad and my mom are both babies? One hasn't been weaned and the other needs to be held and coaxed to sleep?"
Qi Long waved his hand: "Recalling my childhood!"
"How fresh is it?"
"Besides, there are more than 70 servants in that family, each of whom is responsible for a different job. There are several cooks, some specializing in making breakfast, some specializing in lunch, some specializing in dinner, some specializing in midnight snacks, and some specializing in buffets."
"Why are there still buffets?"
"We have to prepare it in case someone dies in the family, right?"
"Who prepares that?"
"Even during mealtimes, their servants have clear division of labor. Some help with getting tableware, some help with cleaning up food waste, some help with shelling, and some help with breaking large pieces of food into smaller pieces for easier eating."
“So complete?”
"Yes, I went there and was so envious. I had to cut my steak myself, while Dongqiang had to have his servant cut the steak."
Qi Long began to perform without props. He quickly grabbed the "steak", opened his mouth, gritted his teeth, and shook his head to one side as if tearing off a part of it. Then he lowered his head and said, "Dong Qiang, eat it!"
"Biting it with your mouth? That's disgusting!"
The audience burst into laughter again.
"Including your servants, the one who takes out the trash, the one who picks up the packages, and the one who moves the car."
"They are all dedicated to specific tasks?"
"Yes, for your sake, we'll have two people taking turns taking out the trash and picking up the packages."
"Why is this?"
"This is Dongqiang without a mother. It's a long story!"
Dongqiang was anxious: "You don't have a mother. My mother was just being held in the bodyguard's arms and coaxed to sleep!"
The unexpected surprise turned the scene upside down and made the show explode again.
"It's just a joke!"
"Stop making wisecracks"
"Well, this is a long story. The garbage collector at your house asked for leave that day, so you went to take out the garbage yourself. The woman who was in charge of garbage sorting next to the garbage bin asked you: What kind of garbage are you? You got angry and beat her up!"
"Shouldn't I be popular? What right does he have to say I'm trash?"
"When someone asked you whether it was dry garbage, wet garbage, recyclable garbage or hazardous waste, you beat them up."
"You didn't ask me what kind of garbage I was, did you?"
"Later, the person who picked up the parcels from your family asked for leave again. The first time you went to the courier station, the person couldn't find it after searching for a long time. They asked you: Are you a small parcel? You beat him up again!"
"Why did he scold me?"
"They didn't scold you, they just asked whether the express you bought was large or small, or whether it was a small item."
"He made it clear."
"Whenever your servant asks for leave, you go out to fight. Some projects have to be done by two people. Oh, I'm so envious. In comparison, our family can't do that!"
"Oh, what are the conditions of your home?"
I have never been on a cruise ship, so this is all based on my imagination based on pictures and videos. Just take a look at it. It's fun.
