Chapter 8 The Applause of the Audience
After slowly approaching the center of the stage, after walking a few steps, a dense layer of sweat broke out in Liu La's palm.
After standing still, he pretended to adjust the floor microphone in front of him, raised the height of the wheat a little, and muttered: "Oh, I hate actors like my master the most. They are not honest. They have clearly agreed to grow up together, but they are only halfway through, and he is cheating and not growing anymore."
"Haha." As the little baggage that teased the master was released, the audience's knowing laughter came from the audience.
When the laughter fell, the crosstalk officially began.
The funny guy spoke first: "Hello everyone, my name is Liu La, a primary school student in the crosstalk world."
The supporting actor continued: "Hello everyone, I am Zhang Wenshun, an old student in the crosstalk world."
Then the two of them spoke at the same time: "Liu La, Zhang Wenshun, pay tribute to all the parents of food and clothing."
The audiences in the audience were all young, and Zhang Wenshun was old enough to be their grandfather. When he heard the old man's words, someone in the audience took the lead in applause.
There were two little girls sitting in front and making excitement-
"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your hard work."
"Mr. Zhang, I love you."
"Well, okay, thank you for loving me. Let me bring you a good gift for your grandma when I get home." Mr. Zhang waved his hand at the girl. His unreasonable words made the audience laugh again. This is the case with crosstalk. It is not wrong to be rude and can't laugh.
After correcting his expression, Liu La began to take the performance into a routine. He cleared his throat: "You may not know me very much, so I will introduce myself again. My name is Liu La, a newcomer to the crosstalk world, and he studied under Teacher Guo Dagang."
Zhang Wenshun: "Hey, you've introduced it all, your grandfather's."
"Your grandpa!" Liu La glared: "Who are you scolding? You are disrespectful to me, right?"
"Hey, I don't mean that." Mr. Zhang's expression was very innocent: "I mean to let you introduce your grandpa to the audience."
"Ah, oh." Liu La was stunned for a moment and smiled awkwardly: "You have made it clear. I thought you were scolding people."
Zhang Wenshun spread his hands: "Okay, it depends on me. You can introduce it quickly and let everyone know your grandson."
"Haha." Hearing this, the audience laughed again.
This time, Liu La did not pursue the old man's words, but pointed to himself: "Everyone doesn't know that I am actually a family of folk arts. My grandfather is Tianjin's crosstalk artist Yanagawa Moto, and my grandmother is Bai Xiaoshuang, a famous Beijing-style drum artist, and the successor of Baipai. My father is even more amazing. My father is the headmaster of the West Chamber."
"Hey, hey, stop." Zhang Wenshun stopped him: "We have heard of grandparents in front of you, they are all famous actors. But why haven't I heard of your father's West Chamber Pavilion later?"
"You haven't heard of this?" Liu La widened his eyes and gave a thumbs up: "The West Chamber Hall is our best private restaurant."
Zhang Wenshun rolled his eyes: "Hey, I said why haven't I heard of it? It turns out that he is the chef!"
The audience below could not help but exclaim "wow" when they heard Liu La say that his grandparents were Liu, and Bai, the two senior masters. However, when they heard this passage from the chef behind, they immediately threw away their surprise and became happy.
"Don't laugh." Liu La looked at the audience and Zhang Wenshun: "The biggest influence on me in my life is five people. My grandfather, my grandmother, my father, my master, and Mr. Zhang Wenshun. So, although my father is just a cook, in my heart, he is the same as you artists."
"Yeah, I don't dare to take this as a damn important thing. Is it so important?" Zhang Wenshun was shocked at first, and then nodded: "But you are right. Our country pays attention to the priority of being an expert, and any industry can produce experts."
"Yes." Liu La nodded, then sighed: "Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity that, except for my father and my master, the other three old men have passed away."
"No, wait a minute, stop. I'm alive! I'm still alive!" The old man jumped up angrily.
"Xu." The audience in the audience burst into laughter. Crosstalk is different from other arts. When shouting "Xu" in other places is to make trouble and make trouble. But in crosstalk, this "Xu" means cheering.
On the crosstalk stage, the audience was unhappy, they didn’t make a fuss, and they all had a stern face. That was really a piercing actor’s heart.
Amid the audience's cheers, Liu La continued, "Sorry, I can't speak, don't be angry. Actually, I just like you, respect you, and envy you!"
Zhang Wenshun: "I envy me? What's there to envy me like?"
Liu La: "Look, you are not so humble again. I envy your family, a scholarly family, and a eunuch after... "
"Stop" Zhang Wenshun stopped Liu La again: "Baby, stop, that's called the official, the eunuch will be gone."
"After the official?" Liu La pondered for a second and suddenly realized: "Oh, I've made a slash! I was thinking, how could eunuchs have a life before the surgery? Then it's too late to enter the palace!"
Liu La looked at Zhang Wenshun with his eyes: "You are from a scholarly family and a descendant of an official, right? Is this time right?"
The old man nodded: "Well, this time right."
"Oh" said Liu La, and said, "Everyone, it's not me who brags. Just the prestige of the Zhang family and the fame of Zhang Wensun's father, that's great."
Zhang Wenshun: "Is there any? It's better."
"Look, why are you humble again?" Liu La smiled: "When I heard that the whole city of Beijing was swept, Mr. Zhang Wenshun's father, Mr. Ouyang, on the ground of Beijing and Tianjin, who doesn't know, who doesn't know."
Audience "Haha, oh, the other person's surname is Zhang, why is his father's surname Ouyang? This burden is too damaged."
Zhang Wenshun was also anxious: "Stop talking, you should just drag it down. My surname is Zhang. Can my father have another surname? Good guy, Ouyang, even the duplicate surname is coming out like this."
Liu La made an innocent act and acted cute maliciously: "What's the swollen? How good is Ouyang? I just love this. I don't know who is suitable for it. I love your father too, so I put it on your father. Isn't it okay?"
Zhang Wenshun shook his head violently: "No, my dad must have his surname Zhang."
Liu La sighed: "Okay, that's a pity. You actors are so stingy. What's your father's surname? What a big deal? As for the argument with me."
Zhang Wenshun: "You know what I'm wrong? Don't talk nonsense, just your surname is Zhang."
Audiences: "Hahaha."
Liu La continued, "Mr. Zhang, he is a cultural person, a scholar, and is proficient in Qingqin, calligraphy and painting."
Zhang Wenshun nodded: "Well, yes. As long as the surname Zhang is, it will be done."
Audience: "Wow."
Liu Labai and the others: "You are going to revolt!"
The audience shouted: "Refund the ticket."
Liu La smiled proudly: "Refund your ticket? Tell you that it is our Deyun Club's service purpose!"
"Haha." The audience was happy again and pointed at him: "You come down."
Liu La pointed back and said, "Come up."
Hearing what he said, there was a spectator who wanted to climb up the stage. Liu La hurriedly hid behind: "Security! Security!"
The audience was happy again: "Haha."
Mr. Zhang Wenshun also laughed: "You said you are competing with them."
Liu La scratched her head: "Oh, audiences have learned bad things these days, and I remember not daring to do this before."
Audience: "Haha."
...
We continued to talk about it. After the two of them talked for another seven or eight minutes, this crosstalk was over.
"Wow wow wow wow." Amid the audience's applause, the couple bowed and paid tribute, and then slowly stepped down from the stage, and a new actor came up.
When his apprentice performed for the first time, Guo Dagang was waiting at the waiting door. Seeing the two of them coming down, he greeted him and bowed to Zhang Wenshun: "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Then he looked at Liu La again and smiled: "Yes, today's life is pretty good, and the audience is very happy to watch it. I thought you were nervous, but I didn't expect it to be really relaxed, especially the part that was having a fight with the audience, which was very good."
Liu La made him feel embarrassed to praise him: "Hey, I'm just talking nonsense. Master, I'm relieved to be able to catch my eyes. Does anyone buy food in the backstage? Mr. Zhang and I are still hungry."
Guo Dagang smiled: "That happens, you Mr. Qian'er came with a friend, Mr. Kuan, and the whole family of dishes in the private room, delivered by Beijing Hotel. You can still eat hot food now."
"Okay." After hearing this, Liu La didn't care about being polite and hurried to the private room. Tonight he was quite satisfied with his performance. He was very nervous at the beginning, but when the audience applause sounded, these nervous feelings immediately disappeared and were thrown out of the sky.
Speaking of which, Liu La is really a born person who should be on stage.
When passing by Zhang Yiyuan's back door, Liu La found that the old man who was guarding the door was listening to the radio. This man was also a weird guy. He didn't watch a show in front of him, so he was very happy to listen to the radio.
After listening carefully, I heard the content played on the radio - Hello, everyone, this is Beijing Radio and Television Station, Happy Teahouse program, I am the host Dapeng. This year I want to recommend a crosstalk group to you. This group is in Beijing Tianqiao area and performs in Zhang Yiyuan Teahouse on Tianqiao all year round. Please listen to the crosstalk "You Want to Learn Well" brought by Deyun Club's head teacher Guo Dagang and his partner Yu Qian...
The content of the broadcast made Liu La stunned. In my impression, the last life started with this program. In just over two weeks, the combination of Guo Dagang and Yu Qian suddenly became popular.
"It's finally going to be red." He waved his fist vigorously. At this moment, Liu La suddenly felt extremely happy, for his master and for himself...
Chapter completed!
