Crosstalk: Stop playing with your uncle!

Chapter 51 Chi Ling
Qi Long, who said in the company a few days ago that he would perform his song on the crosstalk stage to let everyone spread it, sang it one day after the song was released.

The song is called "Chi Ling". It tells the story of a famous opera actor who was forced to perform on stage for the invaders when the country was invaded. During the performance, he set a huge fire and died together with the invaders.

This is the most eye-opening line before the chorus (climax):
[I dare not forget my country even though I am in a low position, even if no one knows me! ]

This time when the small theater returned, Qi Long connected his mobile phone to the speakers and played the accompaniment. It was no longer an ordinary a cappella performance.

The audiences in the audience were also very considerate and listened attentively.

Qi Long began his operatic voice: [People in the audience walked by without seeing the old colors, and people on the stage sang a heart-breaking farewell song! ]

Just like "Looking into the Window", the whole audience was amazed when the opera singing came out. Many audience members opened their mouths wide, shocked by Qi Long's opera singing. Even after listening to it several times, they were still amazed!
[Love is hard to be lonely, she needs blood to sing, the curtain rises, the curtain falls, who is the guest! ]

Since there were no subtitles, even though they couldn't immediately tell what the song was about, everyone still applauded loudly.

Qi Long bowed and left the stage. As soon as he reached the backstage, he saw the photographer setting up the camera and several staff members of the Douxiaoshe.

It was obvious at a glance that the second episode was about to be filmed. The program often needed to be filmed a few weeks in advance because of the post-production time, so the second episode had to start recording before the first episode was released. He received a task card.

The card said that Guo Degang was going to make a movie, and they would be the protagonists and could choose the script.

"He's making a movie? What's wrong with him?" Gao Dongqiang looked at the task card with a confused look on his face.

Qi Long retorted: "What's wrong? You don't want my senior brother to take the photo?"

"You know your senior brother's movies. The Doubanjiang ratings of all five movies don't even add up to 10 points. They are known to be box office poisons!" Gao Dongqiang boasted: "My senior brother Yu Qian is different!"

"What's wrong?"

"A famous actor, rated!"

"What level?" Qi Long asked.

"Level three!"

"Wow!" Qi Long immediately showed a disgusted expression, and then gossiped: "With which actress? Did they do it for real? Are there any hidden rules?"

"What are you thinking? You're a third-level actor, not a third-level movie actor! There's no such thing as unspoken rules!"

"If there is no hidden rules, then why are you filming him?!"

Both of them treated the camera as a stage, and they improvised little jokes at will. The photographer and the director all had smiles on their faces. It was really fun to follow this!

After complaining about Guo Degang and arranging Yu Qian, it was time for Qi Long to choose a role.

Before he had finished looking at all the role cards, Gao Dongqiang handed him the role of a famous opera actor: "Jiaoer, you should take this one, it's the most suitable for you!"

"Then come to this!" Qi Long gave him the role of a street urchin.

Gao Dongqiang was speechless. I chose such a good role for you and you gave me this one.

It suits him. He usually wears big shorts and a big vest and walks on the street, just like a gay.

After selecting their respective roles, the production team handed them the file bags and asked them to go home and read the role scripts carefully tonight and prepare for the subsequent filming.

The director also gave a special reminder: "This script is the basis of the entire episode, you can't steal other people's!"

Qi Long pushed Gao Dongqiang: "Did you hear that? You, don't grab it!" "How dare you say that to me? Isn't it obvious that I'm reminding you?"

After a few words of noise, the preliminary tasks were completed and everyone went back home to read the script.

Qi Long opened the famous actor's script, which read: You are a famous drama actor from Country A. Country B invaded Country A, and your troupe was massacred by the Country B army who burned, killed and looted.

Because of your status, you were rescued by an officer from Country B. From then on, you became a guest of various leaders of Country B’s army, and were often invited by them to perform in operas in order to save your life.

In fact, you secretly began to study the language of Country B, but pretended not to understand it. You inquired about the intelligence of Country B at various officers' banquets and informed the secret national salvation organization of Country A of the intelligence. Because of your intelligence, the secret national salvation organization escaped danger several times.

Today, you received an important task online. Country B is preparing to use biological and chemical weapons due to lack of successors.

Their microbiology expert professor has entered Country A with the antidote to biological weapons. He is a person who likes to listen to opera and will most likely invite you to perform.

You have to find a way to get the antidote. The organization has prepared a helper for you in the Longmen Hotel. Your task is to secretly put the sleeping drug that makes people fall into sleep into the cup.
After reading the script, Qi Long let out a long sigh. What a heavy subject matter. Is this the variety show created for "Chi Ling" that Yan Min mentioned?

The next day, Qi Long got up early and rushed to Xianghe, which was nearly two hours' drive from the capital. He began to put on makeup in the recording studio there and put on a white suit. Then he was taken by the director to rehearse.

The first act has a fixed plot with a rehearsal. After this part, an event will occur, and they will be allowed to move freely.

As soon as he entered the room, Qi Long saw the famous actor Sun Honglei. He was puzzled and hurriedly greeted him: "Hello, Teacher Sun!"

Mr. Sun Honglei has played many negative roles before, such as gang boss, ruthless bandit, etc. He looks fierce, and his image in film and television is even more fierce. He has a sense of awe-inspiring power when he sits there. His small eyes seem to be full of ruthlessness. Compared with Dongqiang's small eyes, they are funny.

"Qi Long, I've been listening to your crosstalk a lot recently!" Sun Honglei took off his sunglasses and said with a smile.

I don't know why, but Lei Ge's smile is also quite scary.
"I'm here to promote a TV series, another spy film. It just so happens that your variety show needs such a role. Penguin Video asked me to come here, and I'll play the role of the police chief!"

The person in charge of Penguin Variety Show is very optimistic about this program. Yan Min said that they needed someone with acting skills who could play a villain, and preferably someone who had acted in a spy movie. So this person came. It just so happened that he and Yan Min knew each other before and had participated in a studio variety show that Yan Min had previously organized at Shanghai TV Station.

Soon, everyone arrived. Everyone was quite scared of Sun Honglei sitting there alone, as they were not familiar with him!

This is exactly the effect Yan Min wants. The villain with a strong sense of oppression is confronting the actors they are not familiar with. This creates a sense of excitement and tension. They feel nervous, and it will be easier for the audience to get into the show when it is broadcast in the future!
Yan Min began to explain the rehearsal process. After he finished, Sun Honglei stared at him coldly: "Say it again!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and wrote something in his notebook.

This time, not to mention the big guys in Deyun Society, even Yan Min was a little scared. She froze where she was for a moment, and the air became freezing.

Qi Long, who was sitting next to Sun Honglei, bravely asked, "Teacher Sun, didn't you understand?"

“Yeah!” Sun Honglei nodded in a silly and cute way, and said with a smile: “Just now my brain was unconsciously trying to figure out the character!”

Qi Long laughed and said, "You have already entered the role. Just now, our director almost told him his bank card password!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Sun Honglei was embarrassed. When he was trying to figure out the character, he unconsciously brought out the pressure from the police chief of Country B: "Not that serious, right?"

"As for the director, his face turned pale with fright, paler than my brother Qian's, almost as pale as Sister Qian's!" Gao Dongqiang subconsciously supported the joke.

Everyone burst into laughter again, and the atmosphere became much better.

Teacher Guo often mentions Yu Qianbai in his jokes, but Aunt Yu is even whiter.
