Crosstalk: Stop playing with your uncle!

Chapter 63 Sa Beining's Invitation

Qi Long's version of the planed version of "Ba Ma Gua" became a hit on the Internet. When people clicked on the unofficial video on the video platform, even the one with slightly poorer sound quality, there were more than 10,000 people watching it at the same time, and the number is still increasing.

Many crosstalk lovers who have listened to crosstalk for many years were shocked. Can crosstalk be told in this way?
This unexpected way of opening the song was refreshing, and many people listened to it repeatedly, over and over again, and could still laugh from beginning to end.

In the past, when Deyun's disciples performed "Ba Ma Gua" with the old couple, most of the audience's attention was on Guo and Yu. But when it came to Qilong, he controlled the rhythm instead. Whether it was the opening gag according to Hua Xian's hanging, or the well-designed safe entry and exit, or working alone with Degang, he firmly controlled the rhythm.

The talent show in the middle of the show also showed their well-honed skills, and the old audiences could not find any fault with it.

At this time, everyone was eating and drinking together. Guo Degang and Yu Qian had already left. If they were still there, the apprentices would not be able to relax.

Don't think that this group of disciples are led by Qi Long. They just make trouble for Lao Guo on stage, but they are very well-behaved backstage. Lao Guo just can't let go.

Although Qi Long is an elder, the age gap between everyone is not big, and they play together on variety shows, which has shortened the distance between them. So when he is around, everyone is not restrained and calls him uncle, treating him as a brother.

Just like Guo Degang and Xie Jin, they are of different generations, but they are buddies in private.

Zhang Helun picked up the wine glass and winked at Yan Hexiang and Shaobing. The two brothers raised their glasses together and faced Qi Long: "Come on, leader, let's toast to you!"

"Leader? What's that title?" Qi Long also stood up and picked up the wine glass, but was still confused by their title.

Zhang Helun explained with a smile: "Everyone knows that we teased our master on stage because you taught us that. Today, you came to do it alone with Deyun, and netizens made trouble and created a Deyun usurpation cult!"

The leader is Qi Long, and his left and right protectors are Zhang Helun who built a new tomb off the stage and Yan Hexiang, the offensive supporting actor. Other followers include Meng Hetang, Qin Xiaoxian and so on.

"Hahahaha, netizens are really good at making fun of people." Qi Long raised his glass and toasted with them: "How can you be considered a usurper of the throne? You are all members of the prince's party! If Qi Lin makes a mistake in singing a line, all of you will follow suit!"

Guo Qilin said, "Even they can't do it. What does it have to do with me?"

Everyone laughed.

They were the performers on the first day of the Wire Festival. Tomorrow was Lao Guo’s special storytelling performance, so they had nothing to do. Therefore, they stayed up quite late and then went home.

After arriving home, Qi Long, who had been drowsy in the car just now, suddenly felt less sleepy. Instead, he felt very awake. He simply started to study the program for the last day of the Wire Festival.

The name of the program is: "I Want to Start a Business"!
He was inspired by the college students who were recording group variety shows and looking for jobs at that time. Today, some ideas came to his mind, so he started writing quickly. After he finished writing, he had nothing else to do, so he sent it to Dongqiang.

Unexpectedly, Dongqiang, who was far away in Shanghai, had not slept yet and replied with a question mark at more than two o'clock in the morning.

"I have revised the manuscript. Please study it and give me some suggestions."

Soon Dongqiang's news came back, complaining that he really can't rest. He just made a big splash with "Ba Ma Gua" today, and instead of celebrating, he started studying another book.
After a while, Dongqiang finished reading the book and replied with an "ok", and at the same time told Qilong something.

Today, he was frequently photographed by the director while watching the game. Later, the game officials asked him about his rank and invited him to participate in the star competition. At the same time, they also hoped that he and Qi Long, two popular crosstalk actors recently, could come to the game carnival to perform crosstalk.

Dong Qiang asked Qi Long if he had any ideas, and Qi Long, who was drunk, immediately agreed: "No problem!"

If you ask him to play games, he can't come, but if he wants to perform crosstalk, that's of course no problem. Crosstalk actors don't have any reservations, so there's nothing they can't perform.

When Qi Long was half asleep, his cell phone started buzzing. He looked at the caller ID: Sa Beining!
Um, why are you calling me now, Brother Sa?
"Hey"

"Hey, Qi Long, I looked at the program list and there's no show with you these days. Are you doing nothing at home?" Sa Beining's voice came.

Qi Long was a little confused: "No, it's okay. What's wrong, Teacher Sa?" "Our station has a program that introduces the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland. We have arranged for me to travel to Shanxi Province. If you have nothing to do, come with me and be my tour guide. There will be performance fees. How about it?"

"Now?"

"Now!"

"Is there a program that arrests people on the spot?" Qi Long immediately became alert. Something was wrong. Something was very wrong.

Sa Beining: "In one word, are you coming or not? If you don't come, I beg you!"

Qi Long felt that this program was a fraud, so he asked, "Can't we find someone else to host this program?"

"Okay, but you're the first person I thought of!"

"Okay." Qi Long finally agreed. He had previously invited Sa Beining to be a guest performer in his crosstalk competition, and Sa Beining agreed immediately. Later, he also recommended him to participate in the program "Thank God You're Here". It would be inappropriate for him to refuse.

He immediately got up, washed, and set off without taking anything extra with him.

On the way, he also contacted his former colleagues from the Shanxi Province Crosstalk Society. Some of them are no longer engaged in the crosstalk industry due to work reasons, but the relationship has never been broken.

He went directly to the airport and met Sa Beining outside the airport.

Then Qi Long's ID card was used to buy the nearest plane ticket.

"I have a bad feeling," Qi Long sang in a strange tune.

Sa Beining, wearing sunglasses, hairspray, and height-enhancing insoles, asked him, "What's the ominous premonition?"

"Brother Sa, are you sure this is a travel program?" Qi Long looked at the director in the distance, a director he knew, Director Xie, and couldn't help but feel confused.

Director Xie is the director who developed the improvisational performance program to play pranks on actors. Could the program he created be so kind? I don’t believe it!

"Yes, it's a travel program. Each episode requires me to invite an artist to be a tour guide. When I thought of you and Dongqiang, both of you have stayed in Jin Province for a long time, I thought of you. Dongqiang is in Shanghai, so there's nothing I can do."

"How do you know Dongqiang is in Shanghai? Didn't you call me first?" Qi Long immediately put on a questioning expression.

Sa Beining chuckled: "I called you first. You promised me to call Dongqiang as well, right?"

Qi Long didn't believe it and wanted to check his cell phone. After looking at the call records, he saw that Dong Qiang called at 9:00 a.m. and Qi Long called at 9:10 a.m.

Qi Long stuffed the phone into his hand and turned away.

Sa Beining quickly pulled him back: "No, no, no, to be honest, Dongqiang recommended you, so, today's consumption will be paid by Master Sa!"

"Okay!" Qi Long immediately smiled happily. His departure just now was also fake, just like a crosstalk actor deliberately leaving the stage for some show effect.

But Qi Long still had doubts.

Two grown men traveling together, what's so interesting about this show?
