Chapter 171: All Thanks to Peers

He was also with a few friends. They came here to check out the situation first. If it was really funny, let them come over.

There was no point in wasting time at Meng Xin's place.

The atmosphere at Da Fei's place was too hot and lively.

Lin Chudong: How can we make it appealing to both the elite and the masses?

Zuo Quan: Please tell me.

Lin Chudong: Teacher Zuo took off his pants and sang Kunqu Opera!

Zuo Quan: Damn!

The audience burst into laughter.

Cheng Huan laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. Da Fei's crosstalk was too funny. Where on earth did he get so many jokes in his mind?

It's a pity that Deng Siqing was busy with the show tonight, otherwise he should have come to see it. It was so funny.

After about an hour, the theater was almost full.

Lin Chudong said, "It's almost time today. Let's get up early tomorrow."

They started very late and the theater should have closed.

Although it was not full today, it was a great improvement from no one to 80% attendance.

Their Caotai Crosstalk Shop is rarely full on weekdays. This attendance rate is only seen on weekends.

Today, Dafei came and attracted a lot of audiences.

Although some of them were attracted by Dafei's fame and wanted to see the stars.

But this is not a free place after all. There are more audiences who like to watch crosstalk in this area. They can sit here for more than an hour because Dafei's crosstalk is too attractive.

The audience in the audience cheered, "Don't leave! One more!"

Zhang Mengnan and others also shouted, "One more!"

Even Cheng Huanhuan shouted.

Lin Chudong smiled bitterly, "Okay, how about a Guankou for everyone?"

The audience cheered immediately, "Okay!"

Zuo Quan asked, "Which part will you perform?"

He was actually a little worried. If it comes to funny, Dafei is indeed quite funny.

After all, with his success in skits, his understanding of gags and jokes must be sufficient.

But Guankou is something unique to crosstalk. If you haven't learned and practiced it, it will definitely not work.

Da Fei actually wanted to tell everyone a jingle this time, Zuo Quan was still a little worried.

Lin Chudong said: "Let's do a section of "The Reckless Man"!"

The audience immediately applauded, they were all old crosstalk fans, this "The Reckless Man" is a classic jingle, this section is very long, not only testing memory, but also testing the tongue.

Now no one dares to say this section in these crosstalk halls, even if the audience points it out, the actors pretend not to hear it, not because they don't want to say it, but they really can't say it.

Zuo Quan frowned slightly, Da Fei was too bold, this section of "The Reckless Man" was too testing basic skills.

Although he could memorize it, memorizing it and performing it are still completely different.

If you are willing to work hard, reciting is still no problem, but jingle pays attention to intonation, rhythm, and speaking it catchy, the audience will buy it.

Zuo Quan didn't dare to say this section in public, for fear that the audience would leave, Da Fei said this section was a bit too risky.

Lin Chudong: "During the Three Kingdoms period of the Later Han Dynasty, there was a reckless man. Since the Peach Garden Oath of Brotherhood..."

Lin Chudong spoke every word clearly, and every word was transmitted to the audience's ears with great rhythm control.

He is a master of tongue twisters. Although this "Reckless Man" is extremely difficult, it is no problem for him.

Zuo Quan was a little worried at first, but after listening to a short clip, he was immediately relieved.

Wow, Da Fei's basic skills are even better than his?

Is this specially practiced?

Do singers still practice this?

No, Da Fei is still the host, and it seems reasonable for the host to practice crosstalk.

The audience applauded from time to time. They thought Da Fei was just a show-off, but today they saw that he was definitely a crosstalk master. Even Meng Xin next door might not be able to say this "Reckless Man".

Listening to crosstalk is a rhythm, and this rhythm made everyone excited.

Lin Chudong was in very good condition at this time, holding a fan in his hand, and his eyes and expressions were extremely accurate.

"... Shout once and Cao's soldiers will retreat, shout twice and the water will flow, shout three times and the Dangyang Bridge will be broken!"

"Later generations have poems praising him, saying that he saved Zhao Yun in front of Changbanpo and scared off Cao Cao's million-strong army. His surname is Zhang, his name is Fei, and his courtesy name is Yide. He will be remembered forever for his recklessness!"

The audience cheered loudly and all stood up and applauded. This three-minute long Guankou was simply hearty.

Guankou has always been the essence of crosstalk. This is not just a laugh, but a pleasure to listen to.

Dafei's strength is too strong!

Cheng Huanhuan also stood up and applauded excitedly. Dafei's ability is really invincible!

This tongue is more awesome than her as a professional host.

Originally, I wanted to join in the fun and watch Dafei tell jokes, but I didn't expect Dafei to come up with such an explosive Guankou. It's too strong.

I took out my phone and immediately sent a WeChat message to Deng Siqing.

"Your Dafei is really good at talking!"

Deng Siqing: ? ? Make a video call.

...

Meng Xin's performance was over, and crosstalk performances usually don't last past 10 o'clock.

There were not many audience members left, and there were not many people on the scene, so it ended early.

Some of the remaining audience members were die-hard fans, and some felt that they had spent money and had to watch it to the end.

But they were not very satisfied with this performance, and felt that the two people did not perform well at all.

Meng Xin said, "What happened today? Why did so many people leave early?"

Everyone spent money. Even if there were some bad things in the middle, they would not leave, right?

Unless there was something else that made them not care about the ticket money and leave early.

It is normal for one or two people to leave. Today, more than half of them have left, which is a bit unreasonable.

Suddenly, a young man ran out from the backstage.

"Master, here is your phone, take a look!"

Meng Xin hurriedly looked at it and saw several videos sent to him, all sent by his friends.

The first one was Da Fei's joke, "Meng Xin Eats Shit". The number of likes for this video was not very high, but it became popular in Beijing.

After all, there are a lot of crosstalk fans around Tianqiao. When they saw that this was funny, they all started to forward and comment.

The second one was Da Fei's "Eight Hopes". This doggerel was full of irony, and the comments were all talking about Meng Xin.

"The words are rough but the logic is not. Dafei's poems are always so classic."

"Isn't this poem a portrayal of Meng Xin? His magnanimity can be seen from his previous report on Audition."

"Meng Xin really did a shitty job. He lost the game and was not as good as others. He reported others' games behind their backs. He is really incompetent."

"All crosstalk performers hope that their peers will die. Meng Xin hopes that all these comedy performers will die, right?"

"..."

Meng Xin's face turned cold. Did Dafei go to the next door to perform crosstalk?

He gave up being a good singer and insisted on mixing in the comedy industry. Now he is even more ruthless and directly performs crosstalk. Isn't this going to steal his job?

The third paragraph is Dafei's "The Reckless Man".

This paragraph has the highest number of reposts and comments. Even those who have never heard of crosstalk were conquered after watching this paragraph.

This Guankou simply crushes the entire crosstalk industry.

The comment area is full of x-on:Meng Xin. Let him also do this paragraph to see if he can do it.

"Da Fei is going to do crosstalk to steal Meng Xin's job. I'm afraid he won't be able to make a living in the future."

"This segment is directly enshrined as a god. Which crosstalk actor can reach this level? Come out and talk about it?"

"Meng Xin: He said all my words!"

"Haha, whoever says this thing is his, he can say it if he has the ability!"

"..."

Not only this segment has received high comments, but also Da Fei's response to the audience's follow-up has received high praise.

The most important thing is that netizens also recorded Meng Xin's words.

Not allowing the audience to follow up affects the integrity of art, which was immediately regarded as a joke by many netizens.

"It is indeed affected. I can't remember the words and can't make it up. Isn't it Master Meng?"

"It's mainly because you don't have the ability. Look at Da Fei."

"Da Fei: It's all thanks to his peers."

"Da Xin's crosstalk is all about reciting texts, and it's easy to forget the follow-up."

"The words I memorized with great difficulty, I forget them all when the audience follows up."

"..."

Seeing these comments, Meng Xin's blood pressure rose.

"I was wondering why there were fewer people here. Did they go to the next door?"

"Let's go and take a look!"

Meng Xin walked over angrily with a few apprentices. How could Da Fei bully him on his own territory?

The audience had just dispersed, and Meng Xin blocked the door of Caotai Crosstalk Shop.

"Da Fei, all right, you come to our crosstalk industry to steal our jobs, and you tell crosstalk here, have you asked me?"

Lin Chudong was changing clothes, and sneered when he heard Meng Xin's words.

"Ask you? Who do you think you are?"

At CCTV, Da Fei gave him face, but he didn't expect this bastard to be so arrogant and report "Audition" to disgust him. Now that they meet, he will naturally not give him a good face.

Meng Xin was furious, "Little bastard, you dare to scold me?"

Before Lin Chudong could speak, Zuo Quan came out with a few apprentices.

"What's wrong with scolding you? Who told you to come here to be scolded? Did you buy a ticket to enter my door?"

Zuo Quan and him were sworn enemies. Today, his partners were all poached by Meng Xin. Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Zuo Quan and Meng Xin are sworn enemies, and their hatred is even deeper than that of Da Fei.

A group of people were on the verge of a fight and blocked the door of the crosstalk shop. Lin Chudong sneered.

"Brother Zuo, don't get excited. Let them do it. I'm just worried that I have no place to show my skills."

If Meng Xin doesn't make trouble, he will have to deal with him for a while.

If he dares to ask people to do it, then it's done. Once and for all, he will be sent to jail.

As for calling this group of apprentices to do it, Lin Chudong is really not afraid. With unlimited fighting skills in hand, even if he kills a few people today, it is legitimate defense. He guarantees that he has a very good sense of proportion.

But Meng Xin's apprentices are just bluffing. How dare they do it?

What's more, the person in the room is the big star Da Fei.

Do they have the courage?

They have watched variety shows and news. Dafei is a man who is good at locking wolves and is also proficient in criminal law. If there is a conflict, they will be the only ones who will suffer.

Meng Xin sneered, "Very powerful, stealing my audience, you really think you are good, right? Well, let's wait and see!"

After that, Meng Xin walked out with his apprentices, and spit at the door before leaving.

Zuo Quan cursed, "Fuck, what the hell?"

"Teacher Dafei, have you been saying this to me these days?"

Lin Chudong nodded, "Tell me, when they go bankrupt, I will leave!"

Zuo Quan slapped his thigh and said, "That's it. All my income these days is yours. I don't want any of it. As long as I can kill him, I won't pay any price!"

The two families have been living on this street for many years, and they have been fighting each other openly and secretly for a long time.

Meng Xin relies on his connections to always poach people from his side and steal the audience.

He has been holding this breath for a long time, and now he finally has a chance to kill him, and he would rather lose money to do it.

After killing Meng Xin, they will be the only one in the family.

This time I have Da Fei’s big thigh, so of course I have to do it!

…

After returning, Meng Xin's face was extremely gloomy and he immediately called his allies.

The people who scolded Da Fei online with him at the beginning were Aluminum foil min and Chen Hexi.

These two people are also a cross talk team. They have a large stake in Daxin Cross Talk Club. They usually perform outside and occasionally come back to help.

Now that Da Fei has gone to their competitor, he will definitely come back to help.

This time, we have to fight them to the death.

The four of them found a restaurant to get together for a while, and Aluminum Foil Min said, "Brother Xin, what are you going to do?"

Meng Xin said, "The fare will be reduced starting tomorrow, changing it to thirty-one tickets, with one hundred tickets in the first row."

Aluminum Foil Man frowned and said, "Brother Xin, after the fares are lowered, it will be very difficult to increase them again."

Meng Xin said, "It's okay. Kill the grass platform first, and then the market will be ours, right?"

Aluminum Foil Min's brows still didn't relax.

"Da Fei is very popular. If he promotes it and audiences from all over the country come, it will definitely be full."

Meng Xin sneered, "His fans have nothing to do with us. Our audience is mainly the old cross talk fans in this area."

"As long as we have a large audience here, it'll be fine. I don't believe that Da Fei can give up his career and come here to perform cross talk?"

Aluminum Foil Man nodded, "It makes sense, he just can't swallow this breath and comes over to make us sick. We will work hard during this period, and of course he can't afford it."

Meng Xin said, "Yes, that's the truth. I don't believe it. He can really produce a lot of classic works and make these audiences have a taste for them? How can he be so talented?"

…

Zuo Quan treated Lin Chudong and Cheng Huanhuan to a meal and expressed his gratitude.

Then he asked a little worriedly.

"You only have a few days in total, can you really kill Meng Xin?"

Lin Chudong said, "Let's give it a try. Even if we can't kill them, we still have to inflict heavy damage on them."

"My idea is very simple. I have cultivated the taste of these audiences, so even if I leave in the future, the audience will still keep the habit of coming to you. During this time, you should hurry up and find a new partner."

Zuo Quan nodded. Da Fei is indeed very talented and has a talent for cross talk, but Da Fei cannot always partner with him. In just a few days, he must seize the opportunity.

Zuo Quan said, "It's not easy to cultivate the audience's taste."

Lin Chudong said, "I am confident in the story, but if I want to steal their audience, I have to resort to strange tricks."

"When you talked about cross talk before, did the audience respond to it a lot?"

Zuo Quan shook his head, "Not so much. Even if he tries to challenge me, sometimes he ignores me. Sometimes the audience's comments are not good. I'm always looking for work."

Everyone is upset when it comes to doing work. The actors have been laying the groundwork for a long time, and they are about to reveal their burdens. However, the audience immediately speaks out first, and the effect is much worse immediately.

Lin Chudong said, "Don't worry about doing the work. What I said are all new jokes, they can't do it."

"Starting tomorrow, encourage them to start a fight, and I will deal with it. Then I will add a small note link, let the audience write questions, and I will randomly select the answers."

Zuo Quan was a little worried after hearing Lin Chudong's words.

"Is this possible? Isn't it too risky? Many viewers are deliberately looking for trouble. If it's not done well, it may be counterproductive."

Lin Chudong said, "Since you want to complete the task within a few days, you have to take risks. Don't worry, I wouldn't dare to take on this porcelain job without diamonds. Don't worry, leave it to me."

Zuo Quan nodded, "Okay, should we lower the ticket price?"

Lin Chudong shook his head, "Don't do it. The more cheap the audience comes, the less effective it will be. Your ticket prices will be unified tomorrow. They will all be 300. No matter where you are, even if it is a standing ticket, it will not work." three hundred."

Zuo Quan was stunned. Although he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to do this, since Lin Chudong had the confidence, let him do it with him once!

…

The next morning, when Zuo Quan opened his eyes, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Suddenly, an apprentice knocked on his door.

"Master, go out and take a look!"

Zuo Quan quickly stood up, "What's wrong? Something happened?"

"No, the audience came to queue up to buy tickets at the door. There was a long queue. The urban management asked us to solve it quickly."

Zuo Quan glanced at the time on his phone, "Hey guys, the show is at seven o'clock in the evening. Did you come to buy tickets at nine o'clock in the morning?"

"Hurry up and sell tickets."

…

The entrance of Caotai Crosstalk Shop.

The queue had formed into a long queue, stretching across a street and turning a corner.

Among them were Zhang Mengnan, who was the first group to arrive yesterday, and several chefs from the restaurant.

A middle-aged man passed by with his wife, and the woman said.

"Husband, what are they queuing up to buy? Are they buying food? Let's also wait in line for a while?"

The man's name was Li San. After hearing what his wife said, he nodded, "Okay, let's wait in line for a while."

The couple who didn't know the truth lined up behind them. Seeing that no one moved for a long time, Li San asked.

"Brother, what are you waiting in line to buy?"

Zhang Mengnan said, "Buy a ticket for Caotai Crosstalk Hall, don't you know?"

Li San was speechless, "I thought I was buying food, wife, this is for cross talk, let's go?"

The daughter-in-law said, "Let's buy two, too. It must make sense for so many people to line up."

Zhang Mengnan smiled and said, "Buy it. Da Fei is doing cross talk tonight. It's so funny. I came to watch it yesterday."

Li San shrugged, "I don't have any feelings about celebrities."

"It's really interesting. Regardless of fame, this cross talk is definitely worth the price of admission."

Li San and his wife discussed it and decided to buy two and give them a try.

…

Meng Xin woke up early in the morning and immediately came out to take a look when he heard the noise outside.

When I saw the long queue over there, I frowned immediately.

Damn, the celebrity effect is amazing, right?

Meng Xin quickly took out his mobile phone and called an apprentice.

"Go next door to check the situation and see if they are giving away tickets."

The apprentice quickly ran back and said, "Master, they have three hundred tickets, and the price is the same for everyone. Those who buy first can get the front row, so there are people queuing up early in the morning."

Meng Xin frowned, "There are three hundred people reading this? Damn it, this person makes a lot of money. You'll know what's going on tonight."

He also admitted that Da Fei is very famous, but the audience pays money to see you talk about cross talk. If you don't satisfy the audience, no matter how famous you are, it won't work.

Just wait for the show tonight to find out!

Until three o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Xin's tickets were still less than half unsold.

Although the ticket prices have dropped a lot, the impact on them from Dafei was too great, and they couldn't sell the remaining ones.

If the attendance rate is low, it will not only have an impact on the actors' mentality, but also have an impact on the audience.

This is the same mentality that everyone has when going to a restaurant. When they see a crowded restaurant, they feel that this restaurant must be delicious. If they want to go in and eat, they can accept it even if they have to queue up.

If there's no one in the restaurant next door, it feels like it's not good and you can't even get in.

Meng Xin contacted Aluminum Foil People and gave away the remaining tickets. He contacted a few units at random, and the one or two hundred tickets were quickly given away.

…

At Caotai Crosstalk Hall, Zuo Quan wiped the sweat from his head and said.

"Da Fei, the tickets have been sold out. Fifty more tickets have been sold. Even if we add small benches for the audience, it won't be enough."

Lin Chudong said, "You can make arrangements and buy more plastic stools. If they are not available, you can still sit on the stage."

Zuo Quan was dumbfounded, "Is this possible?"

"It works!"

It's not that Zuo Quan has never experienced big scenes. It's okay to have more people, but you need a better environment.

If it's in a large theater, stadium, etc., you can have thousands of people.

But this is a small theater. The audience originally paid a high price of 300 yuan to buy tickets. After entering, they can only sit in a corner. The location is not good and the chairs are uncomfortable.

If something bad is said at this time, the audience will curse. If so many people make a fuss at once, then their theater can be closed in the future.

Although Lin Chudong was so confident, Zuo Quan was still sweating.

The key is not yet knowing what he is going to say tonight. With so many lines, Lin Chudong has no time to dialogue with Zuo Quan. He just tells him a few key things and asks him to add a few lines, and the rest is Watch the improvisation.

Zuo Quan swallowed and felt that this was really exciting. He said that he had never experienced such a big scene in so many years of cross talk.

In the evening, Deng Siqing and Cheng Huanhuan also came to the scene wearing masks. In order not to cause a commotion, they wore masks the whole time today. Lin Chudong arranged a low-key position for them so that they would not attract attention.

At five o'clock in the evening, ticket checking begins.

Normally, tickets should be checked at 5:30, but there were too many people today, so tickets were checked a little earlier.

In a short time, the entire theater was full.

Amid everyone's expectations, Lin Chudong and Zuo Quan walked out from the backstage.

In an instant, there were applause and screams throughout the whole process, which almost toppled the roof of the theater.
