Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

I'm afraid Gao Xiaopan and You Xianchao also realized that this crosstalk wasn't funny.

Their immediate reaction was that the problem wasn't theirs, but the audience's.

It's a problem in Shanghai!

My own crosstalk performance in Shanghai revealed a certain situation.

That's because they're not used to the local environment.

To put it bluntly, if the main city had been in the capital this time, would I still have lost?
Definitely not, because the sons of the capital can understand their own feelings.

But the stage is fair, and the audience isn't stupid.

It's fair to say that audiences in Shanghai aren't particularly fond of crosstalk.

One point, however, can be applied nationwide.

That is, a good work can be recognized by anyone.

When it was Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang's turn, they also gave a unique crosstalk performance.

They didn't wear traditional Chinese robes, but rather suits, and that's how they stepped onto the stage.

The audience was also very surprised. Did these two not wear traditional Chinese robes when they came on stage?
Don't crosstalk performers always wear long gowns when they go on stage to perform crosstalk?
In fact, that is not the case.

Because crosstalk performers wear long gowns on stage, that's old-fashioned crosstalk.

If crosstalk performers want to change things when they step onto the stage, they should innovate.

However, many people wear long gowns when respecting tradition.

Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang walked onto the stage and sat down in chairs. There were two tables in front of them, with two microphones on the tables.

When the two sat down, many people thought they were watching CCTV news.

Is there ever a time when crosstalk is this serious?

Actually, it does happen, and that is when performing crosstalk plays, it is very serious.

Yang Yunsheng sat up straight and began, "Hello, everyone!"

Yan Hexiang chimed in, "Hello everyone!"

Yang Yunsheng continued, "Welcome everyone to today's 'Evening News'!"

Yan Hexiang: "Today's main news items are as follows!"

Yang Yunsheng: "The old cadre liquor 'Happy Comedians' was successfully broadcast on Tomato TV, and the ratings soared, causing a lot of discussion."

The audience was stunned when Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang read the press release.

What does this mean? Is this an attempt to curry favor with the TV station or the production team?

Why did a perfectly good crosstalk performance turn into this kind of format?
Yan Hexiang said, "The ratings for 'Happy Comedians,' sponsored by Laoganfu Liquor, have skyrocketed. Another important reason is that Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang, young crosstalk performers from Dijing Tingyunxuan, also participated in the recording of this program."

The audience was taken aback when they heard this, and then immediately thought of a classic quote from Ma Dongmei.

shameless!

Why did the ratings skyrocket just because you guys participated in the recording?

Couldn't it be from Deyun Society?

I wonder how many Deyun Girls and Boys were there at the event?

Yang Yunsheng said in a serious tone, "The most distinctive feature of the performances of Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang, two crosstalk actors, is that they never ask for applause."

The audience started to boo, and the same four words still stuck: shameless!
Yan Hexiang said, "After learning that these two people were coming to participate in 'Happy Comedians,' which is sponsored by Laoganmajiu, artists' associations from all over the world sent congratulatory messages."

Yang Yunsheng said, "In their congratulatory message, they said that Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang's crosstalk performances have made outstanding contributions to world peace and development over the past two and a half years. They especially praised the two men's appearances!"

After he said that, the first person to laugh was actually Xiubo.

He held the card in his hand, and with a clang, slid right off the stool.

This way of stealing the spotlight is commonly known as "dropping the chair." Then, cheers erupted from the audience.

Yan Hexiang looked at the manuscript and continued, "Next, we will review with you the main news that has happened recently. Here is the sports news!"

Yang Yunsheng looked up at the audience.

"As expected, the Chinese men's football team was once again blocked from the World Cup during the 2014 World Cup."

Yan Hexiang said, "I have been watching the Chinese national football team's matches for more than ten years. The commentator's most frequent comment is that time is running out for the Chinese team."

The audience really wanted to laugh at that moment, but they didn't dare to laugh too loudly.

As everyone knows, the Chinese national football team is the least accepting of criticism.

If you criticize them, they'll let you take over.

If you want to go, they won't allow it.

If you don't want to, you have to eat sea cucumber.

They've eaten all the sea cucumbers until the skin is rubbed off.

Yang Yunsheng said: "The reason why Chinese football is difficult to succeed is mainly because it lacks star players. Team sports need star players to succeed. When Zidane retired, France did not recover for six years. When Puskás retired, Hungary did not recover for sixty years. When Gao Qiu retired, Chinese football did not recover for a thousand years."

At that moment, the audience didn't care about anything else.

I felt a sense of relief and started clapping loudly.

This stand-up comedy routine definitely didn't satirize Chinese football!
This is called encouragement. Do you even understand what encouragement means?

Yan Hexiang said, "In view of this situation, after in-depth discussion and research by relevant departments and the National Kneeling Fans Association, it has been decided to replace the statue of Gao Qiu with a statue of Cao Cao, who will be regarded as the ancestor of Chinese men's football."

What?
The audience didn't understand the joke at first.

what does it mean?

What's the point of replacing Gao Qiu with Cao Cao's?

Cao Cao had a fondness for married women; did those women also have such a fondness?
They definitely like them, but what they like even more are probably the football babes!

Yang Yunsheng added a sentence at the opportune moment.

"The reason for using the sculptures from the sports field is that the sculptures on the sports field are quite consistent with the philosophy of the Chinese men's football team!"

Consistent?

While the audience remained puzzled, Yan Hexiang spoke up.

"I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me!"

The audience burst into laughter, saying, "You two really dare to say that!"

Most importantly, the East Asian Cup is just around the corner.

What will you do if you lose to South Korea's second team?
If we lose, it's all your fault for telling this joke.

Yang Yunsheng said, "The hallmark of a strong football team is its consistent performance. Looking at the international football scene, only the Chinese men's football team can achieve this. Not every team is known for its ability to lose. The Chinese men's football team has been focused on losing for thirty years, and it has been imitated but never surpassed."

They started clapping loudly, their hands even turning red from clapping.

They never imagined that someone could speak so movingly.

After all, so many people support the Chinese men's football team.

But their results have consistently disappointed everyone.

Just ask me this: with a population of 1.3 billion, or even 1.4 billion, can't we find eleven people who can play football?

If that's the case, what if we lose to Iran or Iraq in the future? Those countries are still at war, and supposedly we can't even afford sneakers.

Do we have to lose to Laos and Vietnam before we finally wake up? (End of Chapter)
