Chapter 286: Qi Gao Combination: After the Performance, They Will Revisit the Stage
After getting off the stage, Qi Long and Dong Qiang talked about the little episodes on the stage where the audience interrupted. Qi Long was curious, if he couldn't think of a certain name or thing related to the number four, how would Dong Qiang respond?
Dongqiang told the truth and planned to say "give in".
"And the second time?"
"The second time, if you put this into the formula, maybe you will get four!" Dongqiang said with a smile.
After Qi Long took the initiative to say "give up", Dongqiang thought of a second way to save the situation.
So, as a supporting actor, don't look like you are following the rhythm of the funny actor on the stage. In fact, it requires a lot of ability. You need to use your brain as well as the quantity. If your partner says something wrong, you need to know where to remedy it and how to remedy it more effectively.
Dong Qiang asked Qi Long: "What do you think? Except giving in!"
The crosstalk stage is not a one-person job. We cannot just rely on one tinkerer. Another person must also have a way.
"When I talk about people, I am already prepared to ask about their zodiac signs at any time and throw out the burden of the zodiac signs in advance. But if that happens, and you ask me again whether anyone in my family has the number four in it, and I mention that my father is Qi Lao Si, and my mother says whether you are four or not, then it will be meaningless." Qi Long reviewed.
Because there is already a setting that anyone with a zodiac sign will have the number four, if we try to explain why the number four is in our family, the structure will be wrong, and it will be like looking for another answer with the answer in mind.
"That's right!" Dongqiang nodded.
Qi Long continued: "But I will ask you for help, and you can definitely follow up with a sentence: The next question I ask you, you can't mention your zodiac sign!"
Add a restriction and the structure will be correct again.
The two chatted and walked down the side stage to the Devil's seat, only then did they stop reviewing the game.
This is also one of their habits, that is, after performing a crosstalk on the stage, if there is a situation where they may not be able to continue, how should they deal with it?
It is precisely this kind of daily review that allows them to prevent the audience from noticing even if a stage accident occurs on stage, and turn it into a stage gag!
The backstage camera faithfully recorded this scene and will be released as a behind-the-scenes footage after the Demon King Tournament is broadcast in the future.
Qi and Gao have really studied crosstalk very hard. Even though the stage effect was so explosive that the entire audience and actors stood up and applauded, the two of them still came down to review and discuss how to make it better.
With this kind of enthusiasm, you deserve to succeed!
After the two demon kings finished their performances, it was the turn of the two young players, Qi Long and Dong Qiang, to perform. They had not planned to succeed in their challenge, so they were particularly relaxed on the stage.
Due to time constraints, the two of them gave a simplified version of "On Dreams".
Unlike what Qi Long said in the special show, about the long story of being dragged to hell by the Black and White Impermanence and then escorted to see the entire hell, it was just a simple dream where he was thirsty and touched the kettle, but he was actually pulling the nose of the person next to him!
The interesting thing about them is that they used a classic concept on the Internet: everything that is beneficial to me is true, and everything that is not beneficial to me is false.
As soon as he came on stage, the funny guy pointed at his eyes and said that his eyelid was twitching, and it was his right eye that was twitching.
The supporting actor said, "Oh no, we probably can't defeat the big devil. If your left eye twitches, it means good luck; if your right eye twitches, it means disaster!"
The funny guy immediately waved his hands and said, "Let me tell you, right eye twitching is an intermittent, uncomfortable, clonic twitch of the orbicularis oculi muscle and facial nerve controlled by the brain. Don't be so superstitious about it bringing good luck or bad luck."
After saying that, his left eye twitched again. The funny guy who had just righteously said that people should not be superstitious immediately agreed with the supporting actor's words: We are going to get rich.
They use this concept to understand dreams. If what you dreamed about is unfavorable to you, then it is a rumor. It must be something you have seen yourself, so you dreamed about it.
On the contrary, if it is beneficial to oneself, it is what was passed down from our ancestors, and it is always right.
Such a small change made everyone start to look forward to how the comedian would interpret those unfavorable dreams. It also successfully piqued everyone's interest and he performed his show perfectly.
In the final vote, Qi Long and Dong Qiang defeated their opponents with 64 percent to 36 percent, thus securing their status as the Great Demon King.
After that, with each recording of the show, Qi Long and Dong Qiang went from being the big devils to being the audience. Not only did they rock the show, but other big devils also wanted their gardens to become more popular, so they worked very hard on the stage, hoping that this popularity would sell more tickets.
So some of the contestants who thought they had found an easy target were actually carried away.
However, we chose Gao Feng as the last pair of actors. We were lucky because the crosstalk that Gao Feng performed on stage was a crosstalk for crosstalk actors. Many of the gags were from the crosstalk industry. For example, one piece called "Praising the House" contained seven or eight crosstalk gags.
Luan Yunping did not dare to relax at all and listened attentively, for fear that Gao Feng would mess with some other job and she did not meet the requirements.
All the crosstalk performers who knew these crosstalk pieces watched with great interest, watching how Gao Feng performed and how serious Luan Yunping was on stage, enjoying it. However, he only performed the internal work, not the external work. The big devil Gao Feng was defeated by the last group of students, and they had a higher vote rate on the spot.
After the recording session ended and the audience left, the actors were invited to a post-interview to comment on other actors.
The two crosstalk performers who were competing against Qi Long were asked this question: "If you were given another chance, would you choose Gao Feng as the big devil to challenge?"
To be honest, if they knew the result, they would definitely choose the winning path, but they didn't know the result at the time of making the choice.
"This result is great for both of us. We feel great respect and satisfaction for Mr. Qi and Mr. Gao to have used such great power to deal with us. We will prepare well for the knockout stage and try to fight back!"
The recording of the Demon King Battle was over and the program crew finished work, but they still had to record the Loser Challenge the next day. Those who failed to defeat the Demon King took turns to perform, and in the end only two pairs of partners advanced.
The most crucial thing is that there is less than a day to prepare, so many people want to win the Demon King Tournament, because it is difficult to come out of the Loser Challenge Tournament without preparation.
However, these had nothing to do with Qi Long and Dong Qiang. They did not need to participate in the recording the next day. Dong Qiang came to Shanghai to find his rich second-generation friend Acong for entertainment, while Qi Long strolled to the garden of his nephew Gao Hecai, who opened a crosstalk garden in Shanghai, to listen to crosstalk.
Crosstalk performers do not need to buy tickets to enter the Crosstalk Garden. When the ticket seller saw Qi Long taking off his mask, he said, "Thank you for your hard work," and invited Qi Long in.
Qi Long moved a stool and sat in the corner to watch the crosstalk performance of his nephews and nieces from Xiaolehui. Well, it was all pretty good.
As the owner of the troupe, Gao Hecai naturally received the news from the ticket seller and knew that his uncle-master had arrived. He hurried over to invite him to the backstage. "You are here and sitting in a corner. If my master finds out, he will punish me!"
"Hey, this is the rule. When crosstalk performers go to other gardens to listen to crosstalk, they can only sit in the corner!" Qi Long said that it was quite comfortable to sit here.
He found out that when he was a child, he followed his master to perform in other gardens. He would move a small stool into the corner and sit there. His master was very popular at that time, and sometimes the small stool was taken by the audience, so he could only stand and listen!
Gao Hecai retorted: "My uncle and I are from the same family, so we are not in the same industry."
Qi Long was invited to the backstage anyway, and it was worth the trip as he commented on the crosstalk performed by his nephews and grandchildren and gave them some suggestions. Then he went to the side stage to listen to Gao Hecai, who performed a piece from "The Bodyguard" but only talked about weapons and not boxing.
When they were being urged to bow and leave the stage, Qi Long strode onto the stage. On a whim he wanted to make a rendition of the song, but he had no words to choose from, so he asked Gao Hecai to do the comedy on the spot while Qi Long measured it for him.
The audience was naturally very surprised. Gao Hecai was really a little panicked. He didn't expect that his uncle would suddenly check his homework. Fortunately, it was a counter-performance, so even if the performance was not good, it didn't matter much.
He stood in front of the microphone and started talking: "Is there no need to introduce this person? Qi Long, my dear uncle!"
"Yes!"
"You all know that my uncle is a good crosstalk artist, but I'm afraid you don't know the embarrassing things that happened to him when he was a child at my master's house."
This time Qi Long was in a panic: "Hold me tighter!"
"At that time, my master's uncle was identified by my master's grandfather as a natural crosstalk performer. That day, my master brought his father to visit my master's grandfather's home. Master Qi was still young, and he insisted on taking my master's father's hat."
"The kid hasn't established the rules yet!" Qi Long waved his hands in shame.
Gao Hecai continued: "The old man also likes children, so he gave the hat to my uncle. As soon as my uncle put it on, he turned around and looked at my master and said."
"What?" Qi Long asked.
Gao Hecai put his hands on his belly and looked like a child: "Guo Degang, do you think I look like your father?"
The whole audience burst into laughter, and Gao Hecai said that although his uncle was still young, he had already mastered the ethical jokes.
Qi Long had no intention of leaving the stage, so he was allowed to continue. Even though the encore performance was short, he couldn't just say a joke and leave.
Gao Hecai continued to make up the story, saying that Qi Long's parents came to pick him up. At that time, there was a kid from Hong Kong living next door to Qi Long, who called him "Dad" every day.
Qi Long learned it, and whenever Grandpa Qi came, Qi Long would shout: Daddy!
Qi Long's mother was laughing at the side, and Qi Long turned his head with curiosity: Damn, what are you laughing at?
"I'll go to you!"
