Crosstalk: Stop playing with your uncle!

In addition to the literary comedy "Laozi Laozi", Qi Long and Sun Yue mixed it up with an opera performance, "Luo Cheng Plays Diao Chan". This is a funny performance, in which an old man who doesn't understand opera insists on listening to two historical figures who don't match each other perform an opera.

Similar stories include "Guan Gong Fights Qin Qiong", "Zhang Fei Scolds Yan Song", etc.

Shi Fukuan, Yu Qian and Gao Dongqiang performed a play called "Wu Xuntu". Yu Qian played a character who had to listen to the quick-paced storytelling. Yu Qian knew everything Gao Dongqiang could do. Then Yu Qian refused to give him money and Gao Dongqiang wouldn't let him leave, so the old man came up and beat Dongqiang.

When a proper master and apprentice play the role of training a disciple, there is no need for them to show that they are afraid of the master. They can just act out their true selves, which is also entertaining for everyone to watch.

There are board work, literary jokes, and singing lessons. Qi Long and Dong Qiang also presented a narrative crosstalk in this special show, a traditional crosstalk: "Taking the Examination."

This is storytelling. It is not about the two crosstalk actors on the stage, but a story from the past, the story of going to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

It begins with an uneducated person making all kinds of jokes in his studies, like he can't recognize a single word in a month, and his family is rich, so he tells the teacher that if he can recognize a single word in a month, he will give him fifty taels of silver.

The teacher taught him the character "丁", but he didn't learn it after 29 days. Finally, the teacher put a nail on his hand and said that when he was tested, he should take a look at it and say "ding".

The next day his father tested him, and the child looked at the thing in his hand and said, "This is the word 'iron'!"

Just this blind vagrant, because of his family connections, went to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

Qi Long showed off his eloquence and described in detail the design of this ancient examination hall, as if he was praising a house. From the various decorations at the entrance to the examination hall to the internal structure, to how the candidates ate and rested, he described everything clearly and plainly.

The audience was fascinated by the performance and applauded loudly.

"This uneducated Huang Tong, his family is rich and the chief examiner is his uncle, he doesn't have to write at all, he just sleeps when he's full and eats when he wakes up, his uncle fills in the papers for him. But his uncle is cautious, he knows his nephew's level very well, so he can't let him go to the palace examination to see the emperor first, the first place goes to the one with real talent and knowledge, let my nephew accept it and be the second!"

Qi Long was telling a story.

In this story, Dongqiang, the supporting actor, mainly agreed: "Is he still aggrieved?"

"When the emperor saw the first place winner, he directly gave him a question, saying, I will give the first line, and you will give the second line. Listen to the question: Crows fly in the snow, and a few points of ink are scribbled on the white paper!"

"What does this mean?" Dong Qiang asked.

The live scene is not a TV where subtitles can be provided. If you just say a few words, the audience may not know which words you are saying, so additional explanation is required.

Dong Qiang added this sentence, and Qi Long explained it perfectly: "It's a snowy day, the ground is covered with white snow, and there are a few crows flying in the ground, just like a few drops of ink randomly dotted on the white paper we write on. This is called: crows flying in the snow and a few drops of ink randomly scribbled on the white paper!"

"This is not right!"

"It's hard for us to answer, but the first place winner has real talent and knowledge, so he can just say: "A wild goose flies across the sky, and I write a few lines of calligraphy on the brocade paper!"

"What does this mean?"

"When the sky was filled with colorful clouds, a group of wild geese flew by, just like writing a few lines on the letter paper!"

"That's right!" Dongqiang exclaimed.

Qi Long commented: "The eunuch beside the emperor at that time also said: That's right!"

The audience laughed. This is a little habit of Qi Long and Dong Qiang in narrative crosstalk. They will add some small jokes that do not affect the story to keep the audience in a state where it is easy to laugh when listening to the crosstalk.

It is not easy to achieve this. The jokes must be carefully designed, otherwise they will be too fragmented and affect the theme of the story. If the jokes are too simple like puns, they will appear awkward.

This kind of burden is just right.

"I am a eunuch? Go."

"The Emperor is also very happy. Good, that's right. You are truly a genius. What is your name, my dear?"

Dong Qiang said: "The emperor even examined the candidates without even looking at their names!"

"The Emperor is very busy, if it weren't for the palace examination, would he still be with the concubine?"

"On the concubine?"

"That concubine's name is Li Wanji!"

There was laughter again, and Qi Long continued, "That's why the emperor doesn't know his name."

"The first place winner, answer quickly, my name is Wu Qing. The emperor got angry when he heard it: What? Ruthless? Ruthless people must be unrighteous. How can such a ruthless and unrighteous person like you be loyal to the emperor and love the country? You will be driven out of the palace and will never be allowed to enter the examination hall!"

"Got kicked out?"

"In ancient times, people attached great importance to names for good luck. If someone like me, Qi Long, lived in ancient times, you would be beheaded. The emperor is the true dragon emperor, so if I ride on the emperor, I will definitely be chopped off!"

"And me?"

"You have a good name, Gao Dongqiang. The tall east wall can protect the palace. You are the perfect choice for the chief eunuch!"

"Another eunuch."

"It means that people attach great importance to names, so Wu Qing was pulled down. If the first place is not good enough, let's go to the second place!"

"broken!"

"Huang Tong is here. The Emperor is testing him again. Give him another couplet. Here's the title: A line of geese flying south!"

"Does this fit?"

"Don't say anything," Qi Long said to the audience, "Huang Tong came up and said: Two roast ducks go north!"

"Does this make sense?"

"Yes, that's what the chief eunuch said. Does that make sense?"

Dong Qiang frowned, shut up and glared at Qi Long. The audience raised their mouths and laughed, looking at the stage!
"I'm talking about Zheng Yan, and over there, I'm talking about roast duck. Your steamed goose is steamed, and my roast duck is roasted. You see, they're both delicious dishes. Let's have two more bottles of Erguotou, you take a sip, I take a sip, and after we finish drinking, we'll go to the brothel. The girls in the brothel are so pretty, with two bombs in their chests. The more I look at you, the more I like to look at you, and the more I look at you, the more I like to look at you. As we look at each other, I feel attracted to you."

"What's this mess?"

"The chief eunuch at that time"

"Go! Go! Go."

"The emperor was angry and wanted to drag Huang Tong out of the Meridian Gate and behead him. At this time, Huang Tong's uncle, the chief examiner, quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. Your Majesty, please spare Huang Tong's life!"

"Can this be forgiven easily?" Dong Qiang asked. At the moment when Qi Long took a breath and opened his mouth, he added: "Don't talk about eunuchs."

"The eunuch didn't say anything. The emperor was angry. How could the eunuch speak? The emperor heard it and asked, "Wait a minute, what do you say his name is?"

"Huang Tong" "If the emperor is happy, then stay. Huang Tong is a good name. Our palace is in need of a toilet!"

"Harmful!"

The two brothers took a step back, and the narrative crosstalk "Taking the Examination" ended here!
In this special show, each of them performed four programs, and with the three performances by guest performers, there were eight programs in total. In addition to the "Laozi Laozi" and "Taking the Examination" that they performed in collaboration with others, they also performed a crosstalk program "Cornucopia", and later performed two short pieces in reverse order before the audience left with satisfaction.

This is the brothers' largest show to date, and has officially ended.

It is December now. This month is a busy one. Not only do we have to record variety shows, but also various New Year's Eve parties. In addition, Deyun's New Year's Eve special show will be connected to many places. Qi Long and Dong Qiang will also lead the team to perform outside.

The most important thing is that this year various media companies have joined hands with platforms such as Surfing Weibo and DY Short Video to hold a "Variety Festival", where various variety show awards will be presented. Qi Long and Dong Qiang will also participate. It can be said that there is almost no time to be at home in December.

After the large-scale special performance ended, the two brothers treated the supporting actors to a meal and then rushed back to the capital without stopping. The next day, they would record "Let's Run"!
At ten o'clock in the morning, Qi Long arrived at the recording site and entered a cafe at the director's signal.

There was no one in the cafe, and the staff motioned Qi Long to sit down.

Seeing that his photographer was the only one in the cafe, Qi Long was a little excited. He looked at the camera and asked, "Am I going to be an undercover agent again this time? Hehe!"

Being an undercover agent is actually quite good, as you only need to eliminate everyone else. However, being a non-undercover agent requires you to think more, and you have to find all kinds of evidence and reason, which is quite troublesome.

"Correct!"

Just as Qi Long was about to get excited, the door opened and Yang Chaoyue walked in, bowing: "Good morning, Brother Long!"

Wow, Yang Chaoyue, who is the best at finding clues, is also an undercover agent with me? Isn't that more secure?
Excited Qi Long went up to her and high-fived her, and told her that they were undercover agents.

Being an undercover agent is good, with a God's perspective. Yang Chaoyue was also very excited, but before the brother and sister were finished being excited, Wang Jiaer came in again, followed by Shen Teng, Sha Yi, and Qin Xiaoxian.
Except for Gao Dongqiang, all six people gathered together.

Qi Long's mood also gradually declined, and he even ran over to give his photographer Quan Kai a head slap, "You lied to me that you were an undercover agent, right? You are deceiving me, everyone is here."
The director then read out the rules of the game: "This episode is a one-on-six challenge. You will challenge Gao Dongqiang together. At the beginning of the game, you need to steal Gao Dongqiang's shoes, and then you will learn the mission to catch the thief. In the last stage, only Dongqiang's votes will count. Those who vote for him will go directly to prison, and the others will compete with him in name tag tearing!"

If Dongqiang voted all six of them at once, there would be no name tag tearing, and the six people would directly accept the punishment together.
When they heard that it was a hidden camera setup with six people against Dongqiang, everyone excitedly high-fived and then cooperated with the program crew to shoot undercover clues.

More than an hour later, everyone pretended to have just arrived and walked into the recording site with Dongqiang.

Everyone greeted each other as if they hadn't seen each other for a week. This was all part of Qi Long's plan, and they couldn't let Dong Qiang discover the flaws.

After everyone finished greeting each other, Qi Long talked about the members' current situation according to the topic board given by the director team. In fact, he didn't need to use it because he had already memorized it in the car before coming here.

"Recently, there have been many surprises for our members. First of all, our Chaoyue and Xiaoxian's sitcom "Sisters at Home" has officially been launched on the Penguin Video platform!"

"Wow!" Everyone applauded in unison!

"Everyone, please support us. This is a sitcom starring our Chao Yue. She plays the younger sister in the family. The older sister is played by Liu Yan, right?" Shen Teng was also promoting it.

Dong Qiang was puzzled: "What is Qin Xiaoxian playing?"

Qi Long immediately said: "They have a dog at home."

"Eh!"

After joking, Qi Long continued, "Congratulations to our brother Teng for his new movie being released on New Year's Eve. Please support us!"

"Whoa oh oh oh!"

"Tickets for Gal's solo concert tour will start selling soon!"

"Whoa oh oh oh!"

"The super-large special performance of Dongqiang and I has come to a successful conclusion. Please give your support to the special performance of Shanxi Province that will be held soon in the New Year!"

“Wow.”

Among the seven people, six have works and schedules to promote or celebrate, and only Sha Yi does not have any drama to be broadcast and is still filming on the set.

In order to record the variety show every week, Sha Yi stays up late every day, shoots seven days of drama in six days, and then has one day left to record the variety show.

Qi Long knew that everyone had something to promote and it would be bad to neglect sand art, so he started to create a show effect.

After everyone applauded repeatedly and promoted other people's stuff, Qi Long continued: "Sha Yi. Uh, Sha Yi, Sister Hu Ke hasn't beaten him for three days!"

"Wow! Oh! Oh! Oh!" Screams and cheers louder than before rang out.

Sha Yi himself clapped his hands with great joy, and looked at Qi Long with gratitude. Everyone had mentioned him and no one had forgotten him.

After the pleasant opening, the director team asked everyone to go into the room to eat.

The six thieves wanted to steal Dongqiang's shoes at this time. They already knew about the meal process, but they wanted to pretend that they didn't know.

Qi Long immediately became alert: "Wait a minute, are the production team so kind?"

"It's very strange!" Qin Xiaoxian echoed.

Everyone walked forward with a skeptical and doubtful expression. This was a restaurant that required one to take off their shoes and put on other people's disposable slippers. Everyone was shuffling their shoes at the door. Qi Long picked up Dongqiang's shoes and put them on the top shelf of the shoe cabinet.

Dongqiang didn't doubt it at all, because Qi Long was used to helping others with small things when he had work to do, and he even thanked him.

After Qi Long was polite, he also took off his shoes and put them on the top shelf of the shoe cabinet, then walked into the restaurant with Dong Qiang.

As soon as the two of them entered, Wang Jiaer behind them immediately picked up Dongqiang's shoes and put them on the second highest grid, then jumped to the third floor, and so on.

The process of stealing shoes is to move them from the highest floor to the lowest floor, and then the last person puts the shoes on the car.

Whoever becomes the last one will have to stay outside for a long time and will most likely be suspected.

To this end, the six-member team decided on a tactic to let Sha Yi, who might not be able to help in the name tag tearing process, perform this operation. Now it is too late, only three people have completed the task, and the others have no time because they must go in as soon as possible to avoid arousing Dong Qiang's suspicion.

After entering the restaurant and looking at the table full of dishes, everyone seemed to be afraid to act rashly, fearing that there might be problems. However, the program crew did not say anything, and everyone eventually picked up their chopsticks slowly and began to eat.

"Today's recording was a bit strange. The production crew didn't say a word!" Qi Long said to Dong Qiang.

Dongqiang nodded in agreement, and immediately thought of the third week's program, the skydiving episode following the secret war, and the hidden mission of the men's gang eating.

He glanced at everyone: "Could it be that someone has a hidden mission?"

As soon as these words came out, several people's hearts tightened instantly. Uh, you are too perceptive, aren't you? We haven't even finished the pre-tasks yet, and you're already suspecting that someone has a hidden task?! (End of this chapter)
