Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

Chapter 268 Anyone who has killed someone knows
When Yang Yunsheng first appeared on stage at Mingliu Teahouse, even though his master had informed the audience in advance.

I hoped they would give me some applause and encouragement, but they remained indifferent.

Those who have killed people know this, and those who haven't know it too.

People from Tianjin are very knowledgeable about crosstalk. If a crosstalk performer on stage doesn't meet their standards, then sorry, they will just look at that crosstalk performer with indifference.

If your crosstalk performance is well-received by them, they will be generous with their applause.

The scene now is exactly the same as when I first took the stage.

Fortunately, Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang are both seasoned crosstalk performers, so they were not affected by external factors and quickly calmed down.

Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang exchanged a glance and began their crosstalk performance.

"Hello everyone! I am Yang Yunsheng, a crosstalk performer from Tingyunxuan. The person standing next to me is my partner, Teacher Yan Hexiang!"

He talked on and on for twenty minutes, because a crosstalk performance on the Spring Festival Gala is only twenty minutes long.

The five judges and two directors had no smiles on their faces.

Yan Hexiang was a little nervous, while Yang Yunsheng frowned.

Coming?

Sure enough, after finishing her speech, Ha Wen picked up the microphone and said, "Your crosstalk is good, it's good enough for the Spring Festival Gala stage. But I didn't hear any difference between your crosstalk and ordinary crosstalk. Is your crosstalk just for the sake of being funny?"

One judge said, "Director Ha is right. I can say that crosstalk has not kept up with the times in this day and age. I listened to your crosstalk and I felt that I didn't gain anything. So the best solution is to choose a different piece."

Yan Hexiang stood there dumbfounded, but Yang Yunsheng had expected it.

Then another judge spoke up: "Structurally and in terms of punchlines, your crosstalk was quite clever. But as Teacher Li and Director Ha said, I think your crosstalk could be replaced with something a little more meaningful!"

Yan Hexiang was about to speak when Yang Yunsheng stopped him.

"Okay, we understand. We'll revise it when we get back!"

The judges and directors began to whisper among themselves, and finally Ha Wen said, "In that case, we won't approve your work this time. We hope you can bring us better works next time."

Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang nodded and calmly walked out of the conference room.

Outside the conference room, many people watched the two men's expressions, trying to discern something from them.

When they reached the stairs, Yan Hexiang couldn't help but ask, "Why did you stop me from speaking?"

Yang Yunsheng leaned against the wall and replied, "I didn't realize that even if you said something, it wouldn't make any difference. It's better not to say anything at all. The best way is to bring them works that they think are good next time."

Yan Hexiang hesitated for a moment, staring at Yang Yunsheng, and realized that this guy seemed to have expected this all along.

"Did you already know about this, which is why you wrote a not-so-funny comedy piece before?"

Yang Yunsheng gave a wry smile: "It's not that I knew all along, but there were rumors circulating, so I made preparations!"

While the two were talking, the comedy king Lao Zhao came out with his team.

His face was full of resentment.

Ha Wen chased after Lao Zhao and said, "Lao Zhao, if you have something to say, just say it properly. Why are you so impatient?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao felt an even greater surge of anger.

"And what are you talking about! Our team prepared this work for half a year, and you just looked at the script and said it wasn't good enough. I said we'd release it this year first, and revise it according to your requirements next year, okay? What did you say? What did they say?"

Ha Wen immediately said, "It's true that your work is not good. If your work were good, why wouldn't we approve it? Besides, judging from the script alone, your work is purely for laughs, so it's definitely useless for the Spring Festival Gala!"

Old Zhao laughed in anger when he heard this.

"Oh, you can't even laugh! You're in class 364 days a year, but you can't even let everyone laugh one day off? You're really something!" With that, he turned to leave with his team.

Director Ha was truly furious: "If you leave today, I'm telling you, there will be no place for you here in the future."

But who is the King of Comedy? Would he care about such a threat?

"Heh, with your level of skill, I wouldn't even bother coming!"

After saying that, he quickly left with his apprentices and a group of people.

Director Ha, seeing many people staring at him, angrily rebuked, "What are you looking at? Do you all think your work is so great?"

After reprimanding everyone, including a passing dog, she snorted coldly and went back.

Yang Yunsheng shrugged and said, "So, do you understand now?"

Yan Hexiang isn't stupid. Even this regular's work was rejected. It was definitely the right thing to do to keep him from speaking earlier.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about we don't go this year?"

Yang Yunsheng shook his head and said, "Of course we have to go. We're almost there, how can we not go?"

A complex expression appeared on Yan Hexiang's face. He used to yearn for it, but now he no longer had that thought.

Yang Yunsheng naturally wouldn't tell him that things would get even worse later.

Anyway, he's only come this year, so he won't be coming again.

As for why I absolutely must appear on the Spring Festival Gala, it's the same old story: as a crosstalk performer, my biggest dream is to be able to perform on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.

As for what happens to this party in the future, it has little to do with them.

They filled their bowls with as much rice as they could get.

Some things are beyond their control.

On the way back to Tingyunxuan, Yang Yunsheng drove the car.

Yang Yunsheng felt that the new car was indeed different.

It's not exactly a new car, but it's a Japanese car, so it's definitely different.

First of all, it has plenty of throttle, and the acceleration is very fast.

It's a pity it's in the city; it would be more interesting if it were on the highway.

In the future, even mobile fruit carts will have to meet this standard.

Although there are still some technical difficulties at present, it is not impossible.

In any case, Guoke Car has already brought in many outstanding talents, and will even start producing Guoke electric cars at the beginning of the year.

Once the electric vehicle policy is released, Guokeche will be the first to take the plunge.

By then, Yang Yunsheng's assets will be incredibly substantial, and he will be able to do even more.

Yang Yunsheng has always had clear and specific goals for his future plans.

Most people would never imagine how things will develop in the next few years.

Even the few people who make the decisions can hardly know what will happen in the future.

But Yang Yunsheng knew it, and knew it perfectly well!
