Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

Magic City.

Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang naturally couldn't have driven there; instead, they parked their car in the airport parking lot and flew to Pudong Airport.

The two were naturally seated in business class, so there's nothing strange about that.

Nowadays, crosstalk performers earn quite a lot of money each month. Even Yan Hexiang earns five to six figures a month.

In general, it is a five-digit number.

If there are many commercial performances, the earnings can reach six figures.

Over the course of a year, you can probably earn around 700,000 to 800,000 yuan.

Don't forget, this is 2014.

Yan Hexiang can earn 700,000 to 800,000 yuan a year, which is quite terrifying.

Of course, the vast majority of crosstalk performances still cost four figures.

There are even those who are struggling to make ends meet.

There's no other reason than that, nowadays, only a handful of crosstalk troupes are actually able to make money.

Only Cao Yunjin and Yan Hexiang from Tingyunxuan can reach this level.

Even Liu Yuntian and He Yunwei are not acceptable.

Li Jing could barely manage it, even with him filming many movies.

As for Yang Yunsheng, if he relied solely on crosstalk to make a living, he could have starved to death in the capital.

Fortunately, he has a wealthy girlfriend, and Yang Yunsheng's businesses also cause his assets to increase every day.

After Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang arrived in Shanghai, staff from Tomato TV came to pick them up.

He was in his early twenties, with a buzz cut, looking rather young, and appeared to be an intern.

They actually sent an intern; it seems they really don't value me that much!
However, compared to others, they do have reasons for not valuing themselves.

The first season of Happy Comedians attracted a lot of big names.

Originally, this comedian was supposed to appear in the second edition, but I don't know if it was because I flapped the wings of the Siberian butterfly that this comedian, who should have appeared in the second edition, appeared in the first edition.

For example, Hao Jian belongs to Happy Twist.

Their Shen-Ma duo will dominate mainland comedy for the next decade or more.

And then there's you, Xiao Bao, who, although not as overnight sensation as Xiao Sunyang, has successfully entered the public eye thanks to his golf skills.

She even starred in the hit TV series "Empresses in the Palace", playing the emperor's concubine, Consort Ka!
Then there's Jalin, the future world's number one female director.

There's also Pan Zi, Sandra Ng, and Yue Yunpeng, the father of the "Big Sword".

In addition, there are substitute comedians; basically, many excellent comedians will participate in this program.

The only thing missing is Stephen Chow!
Of course, if Stephen Chow were here, he could just present the award directly.

Even if Yang Yunsheng could beat him in terms of money, it wouldn't be the same as Zhou Xingchi in the field of comedy.

You know, it's possible!

What if Stephen Chow is not suited to stage performance? Does that mean Yang Yunsheng is better than Stephen Chow in this aspect? Is that the logic?

This time, Tomato TV rented a very cheap hotel, which could barely be considered a three-star hotel.

The reason it is said to have barely reached the three-star level is that this hotel was originally supposed to have its three-star status revoked this year, but for some reason, it was retained.

Of course, this is not the most outrageous thing. What is outrageous is that such a large TV station as Tomato TV would book such a cheap hotel, and it's a standard double room for only 199 yuan. I don't know what they were thinking.

It wasn't that Yang Yunsheng looked down on such hotels. When he was young, around sixteen or seventeen, he had stayed in rooms that cost twenty or thirty yuan when he was traveling with his master.

But times have changed now, and people are making more money.

What's the purpose of making so much money if not to live a better life?
So what's the deal with this double room that costs 199?
Besides, he booked so many rooms, so there must have been a discount. That means it shouldn't cost 199 at all, it could even be 159. So where did their money go?
Could it be that they invited actors?
Actually, only the host spent some money.

The reason they invited him was because the actor who rose to fame with "Ma Xiangyang Goes to the Countryside" was very popular.

He looks exactly like that uncle.

To put it another way, many people online are now looking for older men.

But they don't seem to understand that only rich people are called "uncle".

Men who have no money are called "greasy men".

Some people even shamelessly said, "He's 183cm tall, a dark-skinned male physical education student."

Yang Yunsheng felt embarrassed for him when this was brought up.

They want an older man, but do they even know what an older man is?
In short, this distorted world should have a distorted worldview.

After the staff completed the check-in process, handed the room keys to Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang, gave them a few more instructions, and then left.

Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang dragged their luggage. Because they would be staying in Shanghai for several days to complete the recording of at least two episodes, Yang Yunsheng even brought two pairs of underwear.

He used to never wear red underwear, but now he thinks red underwear is his favorite.

Simply put, red represents good fortune.

Why don't you put it on your head? Are you stupid?

You think you're some kind of bull warrior?!
Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang arrived at the elevator when a voice suddenly came from there.

Is it Yang Yunsheng?

Yang Yunsheng looked up and glanced over.

"Who?"

"I'm looking down!"

At this moment, Pan Zi stood with his hands on his hips, looking at Yang Yunsheng with some dissatisfaction.

Yang Yunsheng said in surprise, "Uncle Pan, it's been a long time!"

The person in front of him was none other than Uncle Pan, who was worried that Ga Zi would miss the opportunity.

Yang Yunsheng and Pan Zi naturally know each other, or rather, they have known each other for many years, but they haven't seen each other for a few years. The person Yang Yunsheng most wanted to see when he came to Happy Comedians was my Uncle Pan.

I just wanted to ask how much that wine costs.

When Uncle Pan saw Yang Yunsheng looking at him, he said, "I originally thought that Cao Yunjin would be participating in the competition this time, but I didn't expect it to be you. We haven't seen each other for several years. I heard that you are doing very well now, performing crosstalk at Tingyunxuan, and you are doing quite well."

Yan Hexiang, who was standing to the side, really wanted to laugh when he heard this.

Vibrant and colorful?
How can you say such polite words?

Take 2014 for example, it's already November now.

Yang Yunsheng was so angry that he wanted to ride a motorcycle around the world after failing to perform ten crosstalk shows at Tingyunxuan.

The reason she didn't go in the end was because Cao Yunjin had too many commercial performances scheduled for her.

When Yang Yunsheng heard Uncle Pan say that, he said, "It's alright. Speaking of which, I originally wanted to say hello to you, Uncle Pan, on the Spring Festival Gala, but there were too many people, so I didn't have a chance to go up!"

After hearing this, Pan Zi remained silent for a moment.

"I didn't go to last year's Spring Festival Gala either!"

Yang Yunsheng was momentarily speechless. Didn't Uncle Pan go on the Spring Festival Gala last year?
Why did he feel that Uncle Pan had left?

Yan Hexiang, standing to the side, burst out laughing.

But when Yang Yunsheng and Pan Zi both looked at Yan Hexiang.

Yan Hexiang said, "You know I don't usually laugh unless I can't help it!" (End of Chapter)
