Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

Chapter 53 Most Popular Award
"To be honest, your crosstalk is pretty good. But to be frank, whether it's crosstalk or skits, they're all meant to make the audience laugh. I didn't see the audience being amused by you, so I can't give you a high score for your work."

"On the contrary, I don't understand a lot of the crosstalk by Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang, but the audience keeps laughing. It suits the younger generation, so I will definitely vote for Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang."

Yang Yunsheng never expected that the King of Sketches would actually cast his precious vote for him.

You have to know that the relationship between the King of Sketches and Lao Guo is very close.

They once made a very good road movie together.

To be precise, it is the number one Chinese road movie, called "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots"!
The story tells about Lao Zhao, a farmer in his fifties, who went south to Shenzhen to work. Because his good friend Lao Liu died, he had to embark on a journey to carry his body back home for burial.

He first disguised Lao Liu as a drunkard and got on a long-distance bus, but unfortunately he encountered a group of robbers on the way.

The robbers' boss is played by Lao Guo.

Lao Guo speaks fluent Tianjin dialect and shows extremely superb acting skills in this road movie.

Although the box office was not high, only Huang Bo and Xu Zheng's "My Lucky Star" could compare with it before and after.

To be precise, if it weren't for the line "I just like Avatar", the joy of blooming hearts would not be as great as the falling leaves returning to their roots.

Therefore, the King of Sketches gave his vote to Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang because he truly believed that both crosstalk and sketches should entertain the audience.

Even if Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang were subordinates of Cao Yunjin, the traitor of Deyun Society.

In short, if the audience doesn’t laugh, then your work will be meaningless.

But the words of the King of Sketches really hurt the judge who said "I miss you guys so much".

That’s right, his crosstalk is not funny and his sketches are also embarrassing.

So when he heard Lao Zhao say this, he seemed to feel that Lao Zhao was pointing at his nose and scolding him.

When it was time for him to comment, he pondered for a moment.

Then he raised his head and looked at Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang first.

"Actually, Mr. Zhao and I have similar but different ideas. The same thing is, I'm completely confused by your work. I have no idea what you're trying to express, and it lacks any substance. Crosstalk, after all, is about expressing one's own perspective. As someone who has been involved in crosstalk for many years, I'm giving you some advice."

Then, he kindly said to Gao Xiaopan and You Xianchao, "Although we are not of the same age group, the crosstalk you perform makes me feel very familiar, as if it brings me back to my childhood. So this vote goes to you!"

Gao Xiaopan and You Xianchao immediately expressed their gratitude with a smile.

They always thought that this vote was a sure thing.

Li Yong saw this and said, "The votes are now evenly split. Now comes the crucial moment. Teacher Dong Lin, you will decide the fate of both teams!"

Bald JJ Lin never thought that he would decide the winner of the gold medal in the professional crosstalk group of the 6th Crosstalk Competition.

To be honest, "JJ Lin" has never performed crosstalk and can't sing Jiangnan. He became known to everyone because he played the role of a henpecked husband on CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

You know, both Mr. Zhao and Mr. Feng are the ceiling of the domestic comedy industry.

After the pressure was put on Guo Donglin, he really didn't know what to do?

After hesitating for a long time, he placed his hands on the judges' seat.

He glanced at The King of Sketches and I Miss You All to Death, and finally set his sights on the two groups of crosstalk performers on the stage.

"It's difficult for me to make the final decision suddenly. But what I want to say is that both Teacher Zhao and Teacher Feng have good opinions. And I have always believed that entertaining the audience is the most important thing. So I will cast my vote for, um..."

At this time, a voice came from the earphone of "JJ Lin". "JJ Lin" frowned and even looked very bad, but in the end he compromised.

He said, "I vote for Gao Xiaopan and You Xianchao! Their crosstalk really reminds me of my childhood!"

When Guo Donglin finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar. They had just said that entertaining the audience was the most important thing, so why did they change their votes during the voting process?

Could it be that Gao Xiaopan and You Xianchao’s crosstalk entertained the audience?
Who is the audience after all?
Who is playing the audience?
The audience was already confused, and even some young and fearless guys started to mutter that there was something fishy going on.

Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang's excited faces suddenly froze.

However, Gao Xiaopan and You Xianchao hugged each other excitedly.

But no one knew who had called out the inside story, and Gao Xiaopan and You Xianchao were left standing there in embarrassment.

Old Zhao, on the other hand, folded his hands, lay back, and looked like he was enjoying the show.

The recording had to be paused because of the black screen sound.

The results have been announced and naturally cannot be changed.

As the saying goes, if you can't solve the problem, then just solve the person.

The young man who just shouted about the shady dealings was accurately located by the director and then asked to leave.

Recording starts again.

It’s just that the atmosphere at the scene was very weird.

Li Yong, the famous CCTV host, immediately stood up.

"Congratulations to Gao Xiaopan and You Xianchao for winning the gold medal in the professional crosstalk category. Congratulations to Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang for winning the Audience's Favorite Crosstalk Performer Award."

Yang Yunsheng then remembered that in his previous life, Cao Yunjin and Liu Yuntian had also won the award for the most popular crosstalk actor.

This award did not exist originally.

Whether it was Cao Yunjin in the previous life or myself now, I am not weaker than others in strength, but I can only get a consolation prize. This is really unreasonable.

Yang Yunsheng was too lazy to even clap his hands, which also meant that he didn't even want to put on a show.

At this moment, he was really angry.

Even now at CCTV, he still has this attitude.

If you have the guts, ban yourself.

He just didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to survive even if he stopped hanging out in the crosstalk circle.

There was no way, Yang Yunsheng didn't want to act on impulse.

Even though I have lived two lives, I still can't suppress my inner anger when encountering such things.

Yang Yunsheng just wants to say one thing, Alpaca!

Before the non-professional group competed, Yang Yunsheng took Yan Hexiang away from CCTV.

On the way back, Yang Yunsheng and Yan Hexiang found a roadside barbecue stall.

The two ordered a dozen cold beers and some barbecue skewers worth more than 100 yuan.

While waiting for the skewers, Yang Yunsheng filled Yan Hexiang's disposable cup.

Yan Hexiang picked up the wine glass and couldn't help but say something.

"Do you think what Teacher Feng said makes sense? Our crosstalk is too new, not suitable for all ages, and it's meaningless! Do you agree with this?"
