This star just wants to learn.

"Boss, the ratings have dropped a lot this year."

"You're the only one who talks too much."

Wei Mingfeng glared at the sighing director. He didn't need to say anything about this. Last year's Spring Festival Gala was full of big names and the programs were of high quality. It was completely different from this year's. A drop in ratings was inevitable.

"It's okay, we still have Pu Tong."

The director grinned, and his words showed his confidence in Pu Tong. This is word of mouth.

"Don't always rely on others, do your own job well first!"

No one understands Pu Tong's influence better than Wei Mingfeng, but he also knows the importance of being self-reliant and not always relying on others.

He looked at the real-time data on the screen. The click rate of the Spring Festival Gala was very high, but the number of views continued to decline. It was obvious that the audience who clicked in did not find what they wanted to watch.

Wei Mingfeng knows very well what everyone wants to see, Pu Tong. Many young audiences come to see Pu Tong, and they naturally won’t continue to pay attention if Pu Tong is not there.

When Pu Tong was here, I didn't notice anything unusual, but since you left, I haven't seen anything like him...

However, this situation did not last long, as the first language program performed during the Spring Festival Gala was the audience's favorite.

When the words "Pu Tong" appeared on the script interface of the sketch, the real-time click volume increased rapidly and the number of online viewers continued to increase.

Data cannot deceive people, Pu Tong is their biggest traffic password.

"Not singing?"

"You fake fan, Pu Tong's new song is going to be in the competition, it must be after midnight!"

"Pu Tong's skits are the real deal. Last year's "Selling Crutch" had so many golden lines that I can still remember them today."

“I have to watch this now!”

"'Not Short of Money', I'm obviously short of money."

The new sketch still has a familiar beginning. The grandfather leads his granddaughter on stage, telling jokes while laying out the settings to make it easier for the audience to immerse themselves in the plot.

This is what Pu Tong likes most about Mr. Zhao Benshan's sketches. His works are often very close to life, and the dialogues are very colloquial. The audience does not have much barrier when watching them, so they can be amused.

For many other skits, leaving aside the funny points, the root of the story is wrong. No matter how humorous the story is, people will not laugh if it is out of touch with the masses.

Sketches are art for the masses.

Just when everyone was looking forward to the development of the plot, a waitress with a short flat head walked to the stage. She was wearing a white shirt and a plaid skirt, which looked awkward no matter how you looked at her.

This guy was born to do this. He didn't utter a single word, but he made everyone laugh as soon as he appeared on stage.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't hold back their excitement. His unique effeminate voice was somehow a bit brainwashing.

Yang Sheng's performance when he first appeared on stage was perfect. Even Pu Tong in the backstage was a little surprised, thinking that he had struck gold.

A good script requires good actors to perform it, and this guy is the chosen "Xiao Shenyang".

"Besides, this isn't a skirt, it's cropped pants. Can't you see the legs... OMG, I was in such a hurry to put it on that I went off track. I said there's no crotch in the aisle."

The moment the waitress pulled up her pants, everyone was confused. It turned out that this was not a plaid skirt but pants? Talent!
After half a second of surprise, there was uncontrollable laughter. The barrage of comments was so happy that the whole screen was filled with "the pants are worn the wrong way".

Pu Tong really has some ideas. He can actually find funny points in such a strange place. It takes a genius to see someone wearing only one trouser leg and not laugh.

What's even more hilarious is what comes next. The title of the skit is "We're Not Short of Money," but in reality, we are short of money. To put it simply, it's just pretending to be rich.

After agreeing in advance, when ordering food, some of the dishes we asked for were not available, and the comments like "this one is available" and "this one is really not available" pushed the funniness to a climax.

The lines are quite colloquial, but they can stir up emotions and cause laughter, which is the charm of Zhao's drama. Pretentious comedy techniques are very common, and I thought this skit was the same, but this plot did not last too long, and the topic changed and rose to a higher level.

The fact that a person dies without spending his money seems to be a satire on the supremacy of money, but the fact that a person loses his money while he is still alive brings the topic back to reality.

It is said that money is not everything, but if you really have no money, you will be unhappy.

Thoughts can be seen in the details. Many viewers immediately understood Pu Tong’s clever ideas. Even a skit can have depth.

Pu Tong’s cleverness does not end there. If this discussion on “outlook on life” is a hint, then the following talent competition is a clear indication!
In order to prove himself, the waiter started a music duel with the granddaughter Yadan, and whoever sang better would win.

There are many skits with musical elements. Normally, this kind of plot is normal, but at this moment, this part is obviously unusual.

It happened to be the time for Pu Tong’s music exchange, and this Spring Festival Gala was also the stage for the third showdown. Then there was a corresponding plot in the skit. Who would believe that this was not a hint?
The venue was chosen by Pu Tong and the skit was written by Pu Tong. Everything seemed to be under his control, just waiting for the last song.

Because of Pu Tong's advance publicity, there were also many foreign audiences at this year's Spring Festival Gala. They could not understand the skits or get the jokes, and just watched it for fun.

They were just a little surprised. Isn't Pu Tong a singer? Why would there be a stage play arranged at the party?
But when the words "talent competition" popped up in the English subtitles, all the audiences around the world restrained their smiles.

The simple skit seemed to open the fourth wall, and before they could react, Pu Tong, who was behind the scenes, shot them.

He did it on purpose. He deliberately held the third round of competition on the Spring Festival Gala and deliberately promoted the Spring Festival Gala by inviting foreign audiences. This is not a coincidence.

The skit's musical duel is just a signal that the big one is coming. Pu Tong doesn't just want to win, he wants everyone to hear his voice on this stage.

“Oh, my God.”

The foreigners did not think that Pu Tong was taking advantage of them. On the contrary, they were amazed by Pu Tong's madness. This was a battle in which they had to gamble everything.

There’s something about this craziness and this courage that fascinates them, and oh my god, it’s amazing.

The musical duel between the two people in the sketch officially began. Yadan sang a high-pitched song to take the lead. The waiter wanted to sing "You and Me" but accidentally sang "Shenhua".

"So this is the foreshadowing. No wonder they released a new song a few days ago."

"Releasing two songs just for laughs? This is truly incredible."

"Xiao Shenyang is going to lose."

As netizens have discussed heatedly, the waiter's performance was indeed bad as he sang the song wrong, but he did not intend to sit and wait for death. Instead, he volunteered to sing "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" to get a spot on the show.

What song is this? How come they don’t know?
This song Pu Tong has not been released...

I thought the two songs in the comedy sketch were already very impressive, but I didn’t expect there would be another master? This guy actually put a new song in the skit!

Xiao Shenyang blushed and began to perform word by word, "That is Qing, Tibet, Gao..."

Each of the seven simple words became louder and louder. When it reached the highest point, the voice had reached the critical point, which made everyone's scalp numb.

But the song did not stop, and after the many high notes, the singing suddenly rose in pitch, continuing to burst out from the previous high notes, like the momentum of a majestic snow-capped mountain, instantly entering from the "mountaineering area" to the peak that no one can reach.

This high note was like a thunderclap. Even our international friends who did not speak the language were deeply shocked by the pure high note.

Everyone was stunned for a long time, but after being amazed, someone suddenly realized that something was wrong. The high notes of the song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" were even higher than those of Putong's entry in the second round of the competition.

In the second round, Pu Tong lost because his song "Guanju" wasn't high enough, but now he actually came up with a song that was high enough.

If you had this trick, you might have won a long time ago.

You're giving up a point on purpose, right?
