Crosstalk: Stop playing with your uncle!

Chapter 76 Sheep Climbing a Tree

Qi Long sang a song satirizing the mold, and went on to say that because of this song, he wanted to go to the mold country, but people would not issue him a visa, causing him to lose a huge sum of 6 million dollars.

Qin Xiaoxian became curious when he heard this. How could he earn six million dollars just by going there?

This is how I got started and came up with the concept for the show "The Sheep Climbing a Tree".

"We all know that there are several types of sheep, like goats and sheep, which mostly live in grasslands and mountains. There are also blue sheep that can walk on cliffs, but there is a kind of sheep that lives in trees in Texas, just like monkeys, they stay in trees."

The experts over there don’t understand. They don’t know why the sheep climbed up the tree.
The governor proposed that whoever could answer this question and explain why the sheep climbed the tree would be rewarded with six million dollars. Unfortunately, Qi Long could not earn this money.

"You understand this?"

"Who am I? A scientist, of course I understand!"

Qin Xiaoxian immediately became excited: "Then tell me, I'll go get the money, and we can split it in half, what do you think?"

"Of course, I can, but we have to recreate the scene at that time. I have to integrate the specific words into that scene before I can answer. It's like reciting an ancient poem. I can't recite it from the middle. I have to recite it from the beginning!"

Qin Xiaoxian nodded: "Then recreate the scene, what scene."

"There was a sheep climbing a tree at the border of Shandong, Hebei and Henan provinces. Later, the sheep somehow crossed the ocean and went to the United States."

Qin Xiaoxian was puzzled: "The sheep also encountered mold?"

Qi Long looked at him in surprise. This was not in the lyrics, but he actually followed it with this sentence, picking up a bag and throwing it again. Not bad, not bad, progress!

"I don't know. Anyway, a college student encountered this and went back to ask his father. His father was an old scholar and told him about it. If you want to ask me, you have to play the role of that college student!"

Qin Xiaoxian was flattered: "I can still play a college student?"

"I play the old scholar, your father!"

"Okay, wait, does it have to be father? Can't it be uncle? I'll call him uncle."

"Of course not. If you make a mistake in the scene, I will forget it later, not to mention changing dad to uncle. Just think about the six million!"

Qin Xiaoxian gritted his teeth and agreed: "But let's make it clear, given this situation, I can't be your son for the rest of my life just because of this!"

"I don't want it. I am a noble scientist and I don't joke about ethics. In the future, if you run into me on the street, you can ask me: Dad, where are you going?"

Qi Long took a breath and was about to say the next sentence.

Qin Xiaoxian has already answered: "I'm going to take a shower!"

"Huh?" Qi Long looked at Qin Xiaoxian in shock: "You crosstalk actors are really good at taking advantage, are you still going to learn it?"

"study!"

Qi Long started telling a story. Qin Xiaoxian was outside the house, and he was inside. He shouted "My father", and he came out. In just a few words, he explained to him the story of the sheep climbing a tree!
For the sake of six million, Qin Xiaoxian agreed. Qi Long entered the side curtain and he was still cheering himself up.

"Six million, six million!"

After cheering, Qin Xiaoxian shouted: "My father!"

"Eh!!!" The audience below the stage interrupted, and there were so many voices that they drowned out the sound of Qi Long's side curtain strips.

The audience took advantage and started laughing, while Qin Xiaoxian was stunned on the stage, because this part was not mentioned.

But Qi Long had stage experience, and he immediately shouted, "Who are you calling daddy?"

"What do you mean by which father?" Qin Xiaoxian was speechless. Qi Long came out wearing a baseball cap and said, "That's not right. When I ask you which father, you have to say your biological father. Only then do I know you are looking for me. Otherwise, I would have thought you were calling these folks down there, where are your godfathers!"

"Good!" The audience applauded.

Again.

The second time, it was the same words. Qin Xiaoxian called him his real father this time. Qi Long came out wearing a beret and made exaggerated movements. The audience was amused enough by his appearance. He looked at Qin Xiaoxian and said, "You call me daddy. Are you happy?"

"It's not pleasant! How can it be pleasant to call someone dad?"

Qi Long was dissatisfied and said that he was wrong. You have to say it word for word. If you miss a word, I won’t be able to remember what happened next. You have to say it straight away.

Start over again, start over again. This time, Qi Long changed into a straw hat and came out with his back bent. Qin Xiaoxian also spoke frankly. Qi Long asked with satisfaction, "What's the matter with you calling me daddy?"

"I'm going to smack you. Didn't you say you would tell me about the sheep climbing the tree?"

"You have to ask. If you don't ask me, how can I know why you called me? It's broken, and you forgot again. Start over!"

"Come again?"

The main work of "The Sheep Climbs the Tree" is to repeat the ethical jokes, and the funny man wears a different hat every time he appears on stage, which is also a big attraction, making the audience curious and wondering what kind of hat he will wear next time.
In the fourth episode, Qi Long came out wearing a safety helmet. Everything went smoothly. When Qin Xiaoxian asked what happened to the sheep climbing the tree, Qi Long suddenly started singing.

[I go to the south when I have nothing to do]

Qin Xiao was shocked by the sudden singing: "What's wrong with you? Tell me, what are you singing?"

"Wrong, you have to help me with the instruments, you have to match the gongs and drums, bang ...

This time, Qi Long came out wearing a top hat. Everything he said was correct. Qi Long started singing, and Qin Xiaoxian sang "clang clang clang after clang". When he was about to sing the last sentence of what "the sheep climbs the tree" was about, Qi Long found a mistake again.

"Here you have to sing Da-da-di-da-da! Because the answer to the riddle is about to be revealed. The guy's voice is different. Let's start again. Never mind. There's no hat anymore. Let's start from here!"

[If you ask how this goat climbed up the tree! ]

"Da da di da da!" Qin Xiaoxian finished singing and looked at Qi Long with anticipation.

Qi Long sighed: "My silly son, that was carried up by Dad!"

"Go to hell!"

At this point, the crosstalk ended, Qi Long took off his hat, and bowed and left the stage with Qin Xiaoxian.

They were greeted by applause from Qi Long's partner and fellow apprentices. It was a great start. For the final repetition, Qi Long made it through because the first audience member interrupted and shouted "Hey". After that, every time Qin Xiaoxian shouted "My Dad", the audience interrupted.

Even some female viewers joined in and became fathers.

The audience joined in the fun and enjoyed themselves, and the atmosphere was very intense.

Because of this treatment, Qi Long was given an extra point by Yu Qian, who was scoring backstage. Another point was given to Qin Xiaoxian. He has really made progress and has established himself well. Especially every time Qi Long stepped down, he would mutter "six million" into the microphone, and the details were done very well.

This makes his behavior more logical, and he tolerates being taken advantage of.

"This must be what Qi Long taught me!" Yu Qian said with a smile: "Character creation depends on details!"

Guo Degang nodded frequently: "My junior fellow apprentice has passed on the job to me, hahahaha!"
