Chapter 5 "Exploring the Window"
While Qi Long was listening to songs on his mobile phone, he was also paying attention to the crosstalk performance on the stage.
Guo Degang and Yu Qian have been working together for many years, and their tacit understanding is unquestionable.
Just now in the backstage, the two of them chatted briefly. Brother Guo told Brother Yu where he had to say something, and then they went on stage to perform.
Partners who have worked together for a long time will have such a tacit understanding. The funny man can say whatever he wants and the supporting man knows which part to turn to. There is no need for them to recite each other word by word, and the coherence and fluency of the crosstalk are still maintained.
As for other programs, except for Yue Yunpeng, Sun Yue, Gao Feng and Luan Yunping, they are all a little worse.
Yue Yunpeng has formed his own style. He knows that what he does on stage can amuse the audience, and the sense of relaxation is very good. Together with Sun Yue, who can hold him back, it will not destroy the integrity of the jokes and can make everyone laugh.
Gao Feng has solid basic skills. Listening to him speak feels like listening to an old man's tape recording. Luan sometimes fails to deliver the punchline well, but except for crosstalk artists like Qi Long, it is difficult for the audience to hear the difference. Overall, he is very good.
As for the rest, each has its own highlights and shortcomings.
Zhang Yunlei's singing is very good, but his speaking skills are quite poor and his logic is sometimes not smooth. If it weren't for his partner, the audience would not be able to enjoy it, but would rather understand it.
Shaobing looks very funny, but his voice is a bit shrill and noisy. If it's just him being noisy, it's fine. The key is that his supporting actor Cao Heyang is also a chatterbox. When the two of them quarrel together, it's really chaotic.
Zhang Helun’s innovative choreography of several supporting roles is good, but the image of his supporting role Lang Heyan is a bit dull and honest. The audience may laugh if he says it once or twice, but if he does it continuously, it’s a bit like bullying such an honest person, and the audience won’t laugh anymore.
Guo Qilin was too young and had too little experience. His father was still backstage, so he was obviously nervous on stage. Fortunately, Yu Qian's rich experience helped him to calm down and no stage accidents happened.
Shang Jiuxi. He is also innovative, but his jokes are a bit awkward. His jokes are incompatible with the jokes he wants to tell. It feels like you have to tell a joke in a meeting. It’s not the right occasion!
There are some problems to a greater or lesser extent.
However, Qi Long was not their master, and he had no intention of correcting them.
Although he is the uncle, he is about the same age as his nephews. Some of them are even older than him. It would be strange for him to preach to them.
To understand crosstalk, you still need to figure it out on your own!
After Guo and Yu finished their last main performance, Guo Degang waved his hand and called all the crosstalk artists who had just performed to the front of the stage, ready to introduce them one by one.
At this time, Qi Long was being dragged by his fellow apprentices, who were trying to pull him to the center position.
"It doesn't matter where I stand." Qi Long refused again and again.
It would be inappropriate for me, a non-actor of Deyun Society, to stand in the center of Deyun Society's performance.
However, Shaobing just exerted some force and Qi Long was pulled to the center. He didn't expect that the muscles under this guy's coat were quite developed.
"Come, let me introduce them one by one. Luan Yunping, this is my favorite disciple! Shaobing, that is my son disciple!" Guo Degang first introduced Luan Yunping and Shaobing who were standing at the side.
Then he pointed to the left and right sides: "These two sides are also my disciples."
Finally, he pointed at Qi Long and Sun Yue: "That too!"
Qi Long and Sun Yue stared at each other at the same time. Guo Degang laughed and then formally introduced: "This is my dear junior brother, the last disciple of my master, Mr. Hou Yaowen, Qi Long!"
The audience responded with warm applause. It was obvious that Qi Long's performance at the opening was still deeply remembered by them and they had not forgotten it even after such a long time.
After the introduction, it was time for the encore performance. Guo Degang would call on whoever the audience wanted to see perform to give a small talent show.
The Deyun Club in this world is different from the other world in Qilong’s mobile phone. That world has encores, performances and everything.
There were people shouting, rapping, composing little songs for their masters, dancing, singing, and a few people dancing together.
At this moment, everyone's encore performances were more serious, singing little songs or ditties.
Qi Long originally thought that he had nothing to do with this segment. Although he was from Beichun City, he had been developing in Jin Province since he was a child, and few people knew him. Unexpectedly, after Yue Yue and Zhang Yunlei performed, someone in the audience shouted, "Master uncle, come on!" "Qi Longzhu, come on!"
Guo Degang turned around and waved: "Look, you said it well, the audience knows you in one show. Come on, Qi Longzhu, do one!"
Qi Long also walked up confidently.
"Junior brother, what are you going to perform?"
"I'll sing one too, a combination of pop songs and opera tunes, a song called 'Looking into the Window' for everyone!"
It's a pity that only I can hear such a beautiful song, so I will use my mouth to share this beautiful song from another world with everyone!
Guo Degang was puzzled: "What kind of song is this? I've never heard of it!"
"When I had some free time, a melody came to my mind and I wrote it for him!"
"Wow, original!" Yu Qian praised, and the audience applauded in anticipation.
Qi Long began: [When the swallows leave, the branches are full of red beans. For those who are far away, don’t ask when they will return.]
His voice cannot be said to be heavenly, but it is slightly better than that of most ordinary people. Therefore, the melody he sings is still very pleasant. Although the ancient style lyrics are difficult to understand at first, it does not affect the audience's appreciation.
Since it was a cappella performance without any accompaniment, Shaobing in the back row clapped his hands and kept the rhythm, leading a group of actors to clap their hands and keep the rhythm together.
[He wrote with ink, she danced with her sleeves in a dream, love in the play, strangers met, in the flowery land! ]
As soon as this sentence ended, it was time for the opera singing part. The opera singing experience card was automatically used, and a Peking Opera female role singing resounded throughout the scene:
[She sang about meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and every word and every step was filled with longing. The people in the audience, whose names were on the imperial examinations, did not recognize the old acquaintances on the stage.]
If the pop singing of the main song just now is just pleasant to the ear and not annoying to listen to, people are willing to listen to it.
Today's opera singing is just amazing.
Guo Degang looked at Qi Long in surprise. Many of the crosstalk performers who were clapping to the beat in the back row stood there in a daze, their mouths slightly open, some of them were shocked.
In the audience, the audience who had been looking down raised their heads and listened with surprise as the singing began.
[When he was talking about the wedding night, everyone congratulated the beautiful woman and the talented man, but no one heard a word about the lovelorn man in the play! ]
After the singing ended, Qi Long stepped back and bowed.
There was thunderous applause and cheers from both on and off the stage.
"Oh, junior brother, you sing well. It's even more amazing that you wrote it yourself!" Guo Degang was surprised.
There is of course a big gap between him and the opera masters, but in the opera singing part of learning crosstalk, this accent is already enough to fool people!
"Yes, it doesn't have the bangzi flavor yet!" Yu Qian joked cheerfully.
Guo Degang immediately waved his hand: "Go!"
Some people complained online that whatever Lao Guo sings has a flavor of Hebei Bangzi, and Yu Qian is making a joke!
Qi Long thanked the audience and walked back.
The trial card is really useful. He can feel that his vibrato has improved a lot compared to before. He will go back and watch the opera singing course carefully. It will be great enough if he can master it roughly!
