Crosstalk: Stop playing with your uncle!

Chapter 38: Angry criticism from football commentators!

A few days after the recording of the championship game ended, the National Crosstalk Competition was broadcast on CCTV.

Even though local TV stations are rising one after another, CCTV is still the TV station with the widest coverage and the largest number of viewers. Many elderly people don't watch other fancy programs and only watch CCTV.

Qi and Gao's "Full of Knowledge" made the audience laugh from beginning to end with its dense laughter and gags, and also left an impression on the two people's faces.

Next was Qi Long’s impromptu performance of “Thank God You’re Here,” which was equally amazing: crosstalk actors are so quick to react!
A week later, their collaboration with Sa Beining, who was already very popular with the audience, and their performance in the finals of "I Want to Change the Program" also made their popularity soar rapidly.

The two of them are now walking on the road, and more and more people are recognizing them.

Although Deyun Club looked lively online, not many people could recognize them in real life.

Now, when the old man playing chess at the entrance of the alley sees him, he will say: You’re the one who tells crosstalk on TV, right?
Specifically speaking of the software, Qi Long earned thousands of coins on the day the program was broadcast. Later, someone recommended it on the Internet, which allowed him to frame his coins, thus directly achieving coin freedom.

After his coins exceeded ten thousand, Qi Long directly clicked on the software upgrade, and this time the software had an additional mall function.

Those magical prizes that can only be won by the lucky draw wheel can be purchased directly, but the price is a bit expensive, ranging from a few hundred coins at a time to thousands or even tens of thousands of coins to permanently improve a certain skill.

The software sees that you have coins and gives you a channel to spend these coins.

Qi Long had no plan to buy it directly. He didn't want to waste coins like that. He could just draw a lottery. Now he could draw the guaranteed prize with his eyes closed!

Invitations for commercial performances inviting the two to perform crosstalk and notices for programs inviting them to participate in were also sent to Deyun Society and Waner Company like snowflakes. In this regard, Qi and Gao both agreed that they should accept the commercial crosstalk performances.

As for variety shows, those playing games in the studio and talk shows can be put on hold for the time being. After all, the company’s own variety shows have already begun to be fully planned.

Compared to those studio variety shows, Qi Long would rather participate in outdoor variety shows with a high degree of freedom that are created based on his own suggestions.

Of course, it’s not all good, nor is it all praise, there are still some critical voices.

For example, Dong Lu, a football commentator who sells autographed jerseys of players and the same jerseys as the Chinese men's football team, opened fire on Gao Dongqiang and Qi Long after the second round of the finals was broadcast, and recorded a video to make sarcastic remarks about the two.

"You know football, so you just criticize football and just follow the crowd. This is too much. You must apologize.
Since when can a comedian criticize us football players? Can you please put your identity in perspective? "

Naturally, the comments under this commentator's own Weibo were filled with ridicule, disdain and abuse from countless Chinese fans and passers-by.

Is it because people complain about men's football in crosstalk that it affects your jersey sales?

Qi Long didn't know about this yet. He was drinking with a group of crosstalk performers in a private room in Beichuncheng!

There was a commercial performance in Beichun City, and Qi Long took this opportunity to go home. At noon, Qi Long's parents invited their godson Gao Dongqiang to have dinner at home.

Qi Long's family is not as wealthy as Gao Dongqiang, but they are also a well-off family with no worries about food and clothing.

His father is a civil servant and his mother is a teacher in a private school. They used to work in a public school, but later Qi Long's father was transferred to work in Shanxi Province, so his mother resigned from her public office and went to Shanxi Province to apply for a teaching job in a private school.

Qi Long was also taken to Jin Province at that time.

"Jiaoer!" Gao Dongqiang shouted as he entered the door. He did not come back with Qi Long, but went to the gym to exercise for a while and then bought some gifts before coming back.

He knew that when Qi Long's parents entertained him, they would definitely cook a table full of meat dishes with thick oil and red sauce. That was his favorite when he was a child, and he still loves it now, but he stays away from it for the sake of his health. However, when others treat him, he will still eat honestly and sweat more in the gym before and after.

If someone treats you to a meal and you don't eat, how disrespectful of them would that be?
"Don't call me Jiao'er." Qi Long waved his hands quickly: "It's so annoying!"

Since he was a child, Gao Dongqiang liked to call him "Jiaoer", but it was more of a joke and sarcasm among friends.

"We are really a star. We are famous. So famous that people even scold us. Come, let's have some fun. Haha!" Gao Dongqiang took out his mobile phone and showed Qi Long the sarcastic tone of the commentator Dong Lu.

Qi Long watched it and it was quite popular because many crosstalk artists supported Qi Long and said, "What's wrong with satirical art? You can't say it just because you're not good enough."

Feng Mercury also made a joke, saying that the Chinese men's football team is like a sea cucumber, which looks prickly but is actually quite soft!

"Hurry up, give me a response, I'll post on Weibo too!" Gao Dongqiang said to Qi Long.

Qi Long looked at him: "Can't you think for yourself? Your Weibo!"

"It's us two that are being scolded, and mainly you, so you have to come."

So, after dinner, Qi Long’s parents took out their mobile phones, recorded a quick-talking video of the two of them, and posted it online.

The two brothers played the clappers and sang the Tianjin clapperbook:
Qi Long: [Commentator Dong Lu, who made a lot of comments online, gave sharp and domineering comments on the current state of football.]

Gao Dongqiang: [You said it well. We have no foundation in football. Xiao Qi and Xiao Gao are both football illiterates and cannot comment on men's football.]

[Teacher Dong will open a class to improve football knowledge. When the time comes, there will be a lot of praise and the men's football team will lose easily! ]

[Scoring an own goal is a small mistake, but the goalkeeper throwing the ball into the goal is a joke]

[We can’t break out of Asia with our clapper talk and crosstalk, so we still have to learn from the men’s football team and make the whole world laugh and cry! ]

The total length of the video is only one minute, but it was recorded several times. It was not because of the two people's lyrics, but because Qi Long's parents were shaking with joy, so they simply fixed the camera position to shoot the video.

Gao Dongqiang happily posted the video on Weibo. As the Weibo account of a party involved in the hot incident, a large number of people immediately flocked to the account.

Watching these two brothers casually responding to Dong Lu with quick-paced storytelling at the dinner table, everyone was so amused that “hahahaha” started to flood the comment screen.

Dong Lu, you are so confused. Why did you mess with crosstalk performers when you could mess with anyone else? How can you compare with their mouths?

Your video is four minutes long and contains nothing but the outpouring of negative energy.

Look at these two people. This video, hey, it’s even funny, it’s interesting and you can watch it over and over again!
"I am so happy, the men's football team made the whole world laugh and cry. I am laughing like crazy!"

"Throwing the ball into his own goal is such a funny joke!"

"Qi Long and Gao Dongqiang are still using their strength to prove their creative ability. It has only been a short time, and they have already written a counterattack clapperboard!"

This is a classic piece of quick-paced commentary on red carp and green carp, which made me laugh so hard at the time.
