Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

Chapter 264 Who made crosstalk performers so kind?

The play "Green Snake" is now in its penultimate performance.

The penultimate destination is Xiamen, Fujian.

Xiamen is a coastal city with the very beautiful Gulangyu Island.

Before going on stage, Yang Yunsheng was still communicating with Yan Hexiang.

"Have you finished the script yet? We're about to face the first trial!"

Upon hearing Yan Hexiang's question, Yang Yunsheng immediately replied, "It's all set, don't worry! I'll go over it with you when I get back, and I guarantee I'll get you on the Spring Festival Gala."

Yan Hexiang did not appear happy after hearing this.

He said, "I think you'd better send me the script in advance so I can take a look. I've heard from the bottom of my head that the review process for this year's Spring Festival Gala is different from previous years. If we're not careful, our work could be rejected."

Yang Yunsheng was not surprised at all upon hearing this news.

Starting from that year, the Spring Festival Gala became neither funny nor exciting, and its ratings plummeted.

No other reason than our director, Ha Wen, stepped in.

They invited a bunch of clueless judges to evaluate the Spring Festival Gala performances.

Every work of language art must have educational value.

From then on, the Spring Festival Gala embarked on a path of no return.

Yang Yunsheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, no matter how much it's changed, our crosstalk performance will still make it onto the Spring Festival Gala!"

Yan Hexiang was somewhat suspicious, but he still chose to believe Yang Yunsheng.

He knew that Yang Yunsheng wouldn't speak carelessly.

Then Yan Hexiang added, "By the way, Cao Yunjin and Liu Yuntian were not invited this year. They were originally on the list that was circulating online. But now they are not."

Yang Yunsheng looked genuinely surprised.

Cao Yunjin appeared on the 2013 Spring Festival Gala.

It can be said that his crosstalk and the sketches by the Shen-Ma duo were the highlight of 2013; otherwise, the entire Spring Festival Gala in the language arts category would have been utterly unbearable.

Otherwise, everyone would be making dumplings together!
In short, Cao Yunjin didn't even qualify for the review, which greatly surprised Yang Yunsheng.

After thinking about it, Yan Hexiang told Yang Yunsheng the reason.

"The explanation given by the Spring Festival Gala's directing team was that if there were too many crosstalk performances, it would affect the other programs. Besides, Tingyunxuan only needs to perform in one group, while the other group has to come from Deyunshe, which means that my master and Teacher Yu will also be on the Spring Festival Gala."

Although Yang Yunsheng knew that Lao Guo would also be there, he couldn't help but make a joke.

"Didn't your master say he wouldn't go on the Spring Festival Gala?"

Yan Hexiang did not answer; how should he put it?

It's just that they didn't invite him to the Spring Festival Gala. If they had, would he have refused to go?

Since he couldn't speak his mind, Yan Hexiang said, "Alright, alright, come back and work on your notes soon. I'm hanging up."

After saying that, Yan Hexiang hung up the phone.

Yang Yunsheng hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should call Cao Yunjin.

Because if I weren't there, he would definitely be the one to go on this year's Spring Festival Gala. Now that I'm the one going, won't he feel uncomfortable?

Yang Yunsheng was also helpless in this regard.

If he really has a problem with this, he can only keep it to himself.

Who can blame them when the Spring Festival Gala's production team has so much power!
They can put whoever they want on the Spring Festival Gala.

To be precise, whoever they want to be on the Spring Festival Gala can be on the Spring Festival Gala.

Just like those "most beautiful female judges" a few years later.

While Yang Yunsheng was pondering whether or not to make the call to Cao Yunjin, Yuan Quan came to his side and asked, "Little brother, do you have time?"

Over the past year, their relationship has become quite good.

Yang Yunsheng asked in confusion, "What's wrong, sister?"

Yuan Quan said, "It's like this, after I finish filming this year and tomorrow, I'll be going to Kunming to continue filming. There's a role in the drama I'm filming that's perfect for you, so I recommended you to the director. If you'd like, you can come with me to Kunming for a couple of days to film a cameo role in this drama."

Yang Yunsheng hesitated for a moment. Filming in Kunming?
He quickly found out what kind of movie it was. A large-scale road trip pig movie, and he was overjoyed.

The famous line, "I love Avatar," comes from this movie.

Yang Yunsheng smiled and asked, "Are you overjoyed?"

Yuan Quan stared at Yang Yunsheng's eyes with some surprise.

"How did you know?"

Yang Yunsheng thought to himself, "How do I know? Of course, it's because I came from the future."

But I can't tell you this!

Yang Yunsheng fabricated: "I saw some promotional material from the production team on Douyin, saying that you, Teacher Huang Bo, and Teacher Xu Zheng are currently filming this show in Kunming!"

Yuan Quan suddenly realized what was going on when she heard this.

"So this is ah!"

Yang Yunsheng asked, "Then, sister, what role will I be playing in this play?"

Yuan Quan hesitated for a moment before replying, "This role doesn't have many scenes, and there are no lines. He's also a hoodlum. Of course, if you don't want to go, that's fine too!"

A thug, no lines?

Simply put, it's a special appearance!

There seems to be such a character in the movie "Breakup Buddies".

However, this character does have lines.

The line in this movie is just "Fuck!"
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

Yes, those two words are his line.

Shouldn't Lei Datou have played this role in the play?

How could this happen to me?
Yang Yunsheng quickly figured it out; it was because of Yuan Quan.

Yang Yunsheng made his decision almost without hesitation.

Robbed!

What Lei Datou? I don't know anything about Lei Datou. It's like if you throw mud at me, I'll say I have no seat.

Besides, Yang Yun had met Lei Datou in her previous life, and he didn't have a good impression of Lei Datou.

Now that this drama has brought him into the public eye, I have to suppress him for a few years.

This prevents him from becoming popular so quickly, for the time being.

There's nothing we can do; it's just that comedians are kind!
Yang Yunsheng laughed and said, "Sure! Sis, since you think so highly of me, I definitely have to go to Kunming with you! Forget about roles, even if you make me play a minor part, I won't say a word!"

Yuan Quan smiled and said that if Yang Yunsheng went, she would see if she could get the director to add a couple of lines for Yang Yunsheng.

Yuan Quan truly appreciated Yang Yunsheng's outstanding performance in "Green Snake".

An excellent stage actor can easily perform well in television and film.

However, an excellent TV series and film actor may not necessarily be able to perform well in a stage play.

After performing two shows in Xiamen, Yang Yunsheng followed Yuan Quan on the same flight to Kunming.

As for the script that Yan Hexiang mentioned, Yang Yunsheng hadn't actually written it yet.

He thought it was perfectly normal. Even when he was out, he would say something about the road even though he hadn't actually left home.

Besides, Yang Yunsheng could come up with a crosstalk script, especially one that's not funny, like the ones used in the Spring Festival Gala, in no time.

Really, it's not outrageous.

Making people laugh is difficult, but making them not laugh is a piece of cake.

Of all the Spring Festival Gala performances by the person surnamed Yue over the past few years, which one was truly funny?

It's not the length that's to blame. Why are other people's crosstalk funny, but his isn't?

Are you going to blame everyone for not being able to laugh?
