Chapter 170: Smashing Meng Xin

As soon as the audience left, Zuo Quan couldn't hold back.

"Old Tang, you have to act well. You have to act even if there is an audience. We have to live up to their ticket money!"

"Today I met an audience with a good temper. If it was a bad temper, you would have no choice but to refund the ticket!"

Tang Wen was so angry that he threw his fan to the ground.

"Refund the ticket if you want to. Can't I afford to refund 300 yuan?"

"Zuo Quan, this job is impossible. I came from the Art Association, but you promised me that you could make money."

"Now not a single audience can come in a day. Are you kidding me?"

"I invested a total of 20,000 yuan at that time. I don't want the money now. Let's break up."

Zuo Quan was speechless. "You said you are so negative, how can the audience be willing to come? Okay, if you want to join Meng Xin, go quickly."

Tang Wen took off his coat and said, "Goodbye."

After that, he walked out angrily.

Zuo Quan sat on the ground, and saw the empty theater, and his mood was extremely depressed.

Although Meng Xin and his friends were somewhat well-known, they also had fans at Caotai Xiangshengpu.

It was just that some of them went there to have a look, just for the sake of novelty.

As a result, Tang Wen couldn't accept it, and his mentality collapsed. The state of the performance became different. If you, a funny man, are not funny, the audience will certainly not buy it, so there are fewer and fewer people.

There were no audiences today, only one ticket, and people left halfway, and Zuo Quan felt bad.

But Tang Wen should have had some ulterior motives. He used to be a member of the Art Association, and now seeing that Meng Xin's business was good, he felt unbalanced and wanted to go back.

Zuo Quan sat on the ground and sighed. It seemed that this stage was going to be disbanded.

At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared outside the door.

"Has the performance started?"

Zuo Quan stood up, "Excuse me, my... funny man has something to do today and can't perform."

The man said, "Then can you do a stand-up comedy?"

Zuo Quan was stunned for a moment and gritted his teeth.

"I can. If you want to watch a stand-up comedy, I'll tell you a piece. It's free today! Backstage, give me a pot of tea!"

Lin Chudong and Cheng Huanhuan sat down. Zuo Quan stood on the stage, knocked the wake-up stick, and told a stand-up comedy "The Argument Shop".

Lin Chudong nodded. Zuo Quan's tongue was sharp and he had a very good grasp of the timing. He was considered a skilled crosstalk actor.

It's just that the jokes were a bit old, and they were all very traditional. In addition, he was not famous, so he was not very popular.

In fact, Meng Xin's popularity this time was just an illusion. On the surface, he was very popular, but in fact, it was because he was on TV and many people went to see the excitement.

After a long time, the two platforms were still evenly matched. The funny jokes here were too impatient.

After a show, Lin Chudong and Cheng Huanhuan both applauded. Lin Chudong took off his mask and drank a sip of tea.

Zuo Quan was stunned, "It's you!"

"You two?"

Of course he knew Lin Chudong and Cheng Huanhuan, and he had a little friction with Meng Xin next door on stage, which made Meng Xin more famous.

The entertainment industry is like this, sometimes black and red are also red.

Zuo Quan said, "Why are you here?"

Lin Chudong said, "Is Meng Xin next door so popular?"

Zuo Quan sighed and briefly introduced the situation.

The current situation is that there are a lot of people on Meng Xin's side, and he can't hold on for a day. There are also several apprentices who want to eat. If there are no more audiences, the apprentices will also run away, and his shop will be completely closed.

Once his shop closed, Meng Xin will be the only one in this street.

Lin Chudong said, "If I help you perform, do you have the confidence to beat them?"

As soon as this was said, Zuo Quan was stunned.

"Did I hear you right? You're acting as my assistant? I can't afford it. Besides, I can't act in skits."

Lin Chudong said, "Don't worry, I don't want an appearance fee. I just want to vent my anger. I can tell you a crosstalk."

Zuo Quan was a little surprised, "You tell me a crosstalk? Can you do it?"

Lin Chudong rolled up his sleeves, "I'll tell you a crosstalk. Sister Huan is the audience. As a crosstalk actor, you have to tell it even if there is an audience, right?"

Zuo Quan was a little curious, "Then why don't you try it?"

Lin Chudong stood on the stage, picked up the gown on the ground and put it on.

Cheng Huanhuan clapped crazily in the audience, waiting to see Dafei's show.

...

At eight o'clock in the evening, six people came out of a company. All six of them wore plaid shirts and had little hair. They looked like standard programmers.

"Zhang Mengnan, what's wrong with you today? You can't even buy a ticket. I finally got off work early, and I thought I could go see the stars." Zhang Mengnan is the thinnest among the six people. His name is Zhang Mengnan. His colleagues tease him and call him Zhang Mengnan. The six people are all crosstalk fans, but they are too busy at work and rarely go to listen. Today, I finally got off work early, but I still can't buy a ticket for Daxin Crosstalk. "It's so popular on TV, but I can't even buy a ticket." "Why don't we go to Caotai Crosstalk Shop to listen? Don't spoil everyone's interest." "Okay, they've started, right?" "Tickets are cheaper when the show starts, let's go and have a look!" When they arrived at Caotai Crosstalk Shop, they saw that the show had already started, and the six people walked in. Lin Chudong and Zuo Quan hurriedly stopped. "Hello, where can I buy tickets?" Zhang Mengnan asked. Zuo Quan said, "Wait a minute, I'll call someone out!"

Zuo Quan quickly called an apprentice to sell tickets in front. He didn't expect that someone would come so late.

What he didn't expect was that Da Fei could actually tell crosstalk!

Da Fei had a very good grasp of the timing and pauses of his speech!

If there was a better supporting actor, it would definitely be a perfect combination.

Crosstalk is 30% funny and 70% supporting, and that's not nonsense.

The funny actor has to control the jokes in the whole joke, while the supporting actor controls the rhythm.

When the funny actor tells a joke, it is very important to know when to pick up and when to turn the joke.

Zuo Quan happened to be an excellent supporting actor, perfectly matching Da Fei.

The six bought tickets and sat in the first row.

As soon as they sat down, they suddenly found something wrong.

"Fuck, isn't this Dafei?"

"It's really Dafei!"

"Dafei is telling crosstalk?"

Lin Chudong said, "Everyone calm down, you are here today, my crosstalk debut, you are the first audience."

Zhang Mengnan excitedly took out his mobile phone to take pictures, and suddenly turned around and found that the person eating melon seeds next to him was Cheng Huanhuan!

"Sister Huan?"

Cheng Huanhuan smiled, "Hello."

Zhang Mengnan's eyes widened, a little bit unbelievable what was happening in front of him.

Dafei is telling crosstalk on the stage, and Sister Huan is listening in the audience?

Did he travel through time?

Lin Chudong cleared his throat and started his crosstalk debut.

Of course, before starting, he used a [Memory Search Card] to search Guo Degang's crosstalk collection.

Lin Chudong said, "Everyone has heard crosstalk, and everyone has seen famous crosstalk artists on TV."

"A few days ago, there was a crosstalk group that was on the show. You all saw it, they are called Yu Hong and Meng Xin."

Several audiences in the audience nodded.

Zuo Quan didn't know what Da Fei was going to say, but with his experience, he could improvise on the spot.

Zuo Quan said, "Do you know these two people?"

Lin Chudong: I know them very well, especially the teacher Meng Xinmeng. I heard that you have a good relationship with her?

Zuo Quan nodded, "Yes, we are neighbors."

Lin Chudong: That's right, they have the best relationship. When there are no performances, they often go for a walk together. Once, after eating feces, they were about to go for a walk...

Zuo Quan: Wait a minute, please speak more clearly, it's dinner!

Lin Chudong smiled: fan~an~ feces! This is different for those who have been to school.

Several people in the audience laughed immediately.

This kind of baggage can only be heard in a small theater, and it is absolutely not heard on TV.

Zuo Quan: You have to eat feces, right? It's dinner!

He had a new respect for Lin Chudong. This seemingly insignificant little joke was thrown out at a very natural time. The key was to give him time to speak.

Many funny people are not good because they talk to themselves and do not give the supporting role time, which has a great impact on the effect of the show.

Dafei is worthy of being a skit actor and has a good understanding of this aspect.

Lin Chudong: After dinner, Zuo Quan and Teacher Meng went out for a walk. Their community is also large. I don’t know who walked the dog without a sense of public morality and left a pool of puppy shit. Zuo Quan and Teacher Meng stopped and smacked their lips. (Slurp~)

Zuo Quan: What’s wrong with being greedy?

The six people in the audience laughed again, and then hurriedly continued to listen carefully.

Lin Chudong: Zuo Quan is a bad guy. He said to Meng Xin, if you eat this, I will give you 100,000 yuan!

Zuo Quan: Everyone loves to make this kind of bet.

Lin Chudong: Meng Xin was happy and took out the chopsticks from his body.

Zuo Quan: He might have been watching in the afternoon.

Lin Chudong: Meng Xin looked at it, snapped, and broke the chopsticks.

Zuo Quan: Don't want it anymore?

Lin Chudong: He took out another spoon.

Zuo Quan: I knew it was too thin.

There was laughter again from the audience.

He started recording with his mobile phone. Da Fei was going to make fun of Meng Xin!

Before, Meng Xin and Yu Hong's jokes satirizing Da Fei on the Internet were popular for a long time.

Generally, when crosstalk actors talk about their supporting roles, they talk about how their supporting roles are.

As a result, Meng Xin and Yu Hong kept mocking Da Fei in order to take advantage of Da Fei's popularity, and all the jokes were thrown at Da Fei.

Now Da Fei finally talked back, and it was at their competitor on the same street. This is definitely big news!

Several people immediately took a video and posted it online.

Lin Chudong: Teacher Meng took the spoon and started eating with a snap. When he was almost done, he put the spoon back, took out a steamed bun, broke it in half, and wiped it on the ground.

Zuo Quan: Don't waste things.

Lin Chudong: After eating, Mr. Meng said, Zuo Quan, take 100,000 yuan. Zuo Quan said, who comes out for a walk with 100,000 yuan, I'll give it to you when I get home.

Zuo Quan: That's it.

Lin Chudong: The two continued to walk forward, and soon saw another puddle.

Zuo Quan: Why are there so many?

Lin Chudong gestured, "It's such a big puddle, Zuo Quan looked up and sang, Yala So..."

Zuo Quan quickly pushed him, "It's not that high! You can see the Himalayas, right!"

Several people in the audience laughed so hard that they fell backwards. It was the first time they heard such a funny crosstalk.

In the past, when I listened to crosstalk, it was all those old jokes, and I almost memorized them. I just listened to it for the taste.

But Da Fei's crosstalk was too novel and popular, and they almost laughed.

Lin Chudong: Teacher Meng smiled when he saw this puddle and said Zuo Quan, if you eat this puddle, I will give you one hundred thousand! Zuo Quan waved his hand, "Go, go, don't do this with me, you won't lend me a spoon!"

Zuo Quan: Harmful! This is what I do!

Lin Chudong: Teacher Meng took out the spoon and handed it to Zuo Quan. Zuo Quan ate it with a click. When he was almost done, Teacher Meng handed him the remaining half of the steamed bun. There was no waste at all.

Lin Chudong: After Teacher Meng finished eating, he said to Zuo Quan, "Bring me 100,000 yuan." Zuo Quan said, you didn’t bring one hundred thousand, can I bring one hundred thousand?

Lin Chudong: Teacher Meng thought for a while and said, okay, you don’t give it to me, and I don’t give it to you, we’re even!

Zuo Quan: Are you immoral or not? The two of us came out just to eat shit, right? It'll be fine after eating, right?

Lin Chudong: What can happen? Let’s wait until the dog walker comes tomorrow.

…

Several people in the audience burst into laughter. This is what a small theater is like. Listening to the cross talk up close is even funnier than watching it on TV.

I never thought Da Fei had such talent!

Zhang Mengnan looked at Cheng Huanhuan, who was eating melon seeds next to him, and asked in a low voice.

"Sister Huan, after listening to this paragraph, can you eat it?"

Cheng Huanhuan said, "Yes, it's so fragrant."

…

Beijing, a restaurant north of the overpass.

In the back kitchen, several chefs were taking a rest.

I have just finished working on the evening meal and can finally take a rest.

The chef was smoking and scrolling through Douyin on his mobile phone.

When I heard about Meng Xin smashing Da Fei, I was speechless.

"Meng Xin's cross talk sounded okay at first, but after listening to it for a long time, I turned it over and over again. I just talked about Da Fei several times."

"I'm tired of hearing it too. I won't even go to the theater."

The chef continued to scroll down, and suddenly saw the cross talk between Da Fei and Zuo Quan, and was stunned for a moment.

"What the hell? I saw Da Fei talking about cross talk!"

"Ah? Where is it?"

"Look, isn't this Zuo Quan from Caotai Crosstalk Shop? How did they get together?"

Several people looked at it for a while and suddenly laughed, "What a shame, Da Fei. Is this a story about Meng Xin eating dog shit?"

"It amused me to death. Da Fei's demeanor and movements really have the charm of a cross talk actor."

"Where is this? Caotai Crosstalk Shop? Let's go and have a look?"

"Let's go, there are no customers anymore, get off work early today!"

Several people changed their clothes and walked to the crosstalk shop on the grass platform in a hurry.

…

Seeing someone else coming, Zuo Quan quickly winked at the backstage.

An apprentice quickly ran out to sell tickets. At this time, there were more than a dozen people in the small theater, and the first row was almost full.

Except for Zhang Mengnan and the others, no one noticed Cheng Huanhuan.

But they all came here for Da Fei. A celebrity like Da Fei can be seen for only 300 yuan. What a bargain?

Even just to watch the excitement is fine.

Zhang Mengnan's video has become quite popular in the same city. With such a beginning, it has already attracted many viewers.

…

After Lin Chudong finished telling this joke, he said with a smile.

"Someone asked, is this joke true? Everyone, nothing in the cross talk is true."

Suddenly, the chef in the audience shouted, "Really!!"

Lin Chudong was stunned for a moment, pointed at him and said, "Look, some people say it's true. You're the one walking the dog, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone burst out laughing. Da Fei was so funny. He could chat with the audience while talking about cross talk?

The audience in Beijing are all fans of old cross talk, and there are a lot of people chatting with each other while listening to cross talk.

There are very few actors who can handle it calmly. Many times, they are so criticized by the audience that they cannot get off the stage, so they have to bite the bullet and continue to perform.

Lin Chudong said, "These things are actually all fake, because it is impossible to take a steamed bun with you when you go out."

Zuo Quan glared, "It's true that we eat shit together, right?"

The audience laughed again, and a few more people came in one after another. Some came after seeing the video, and some came here because they went to Meng Xin's place next door and didn't buy tickets, so they settled here.

But as long as you come in, you can be retained by Da Fei.

At this time Zuo Quan was a little excited, Da Fei had two brushes!

…

Lin Chudong: Many viewers in the audience know me and know my identity. On the surface, I am a singer, but in fact, I am a poet.

Zuo Quan nodded: We have all heard your curse poems.

Everyone in the audience laughed. They had heard a lot about Da Fei scolding people. He scolded Li Zhilin in "Angry Criticism of Straw Bags" before, scolded Wu Bo in "Clay Pots and Tin Cans", and scolded Wu Bo in "Looks Like a Dog from a Far Distance". Zhou Shifang has countless classic works.

This time "Meng Xin Eats Shit" can be regarded as quite a classic, but the story is still a story after all, and it is not as popular as poetry.

Lin Chudong: Don’t talk nonsense. I’m not criticizing, I’m just criticizing.

Zuo Quan: Do you have any new works for everyone to read today?

Lin Chudong: There is a little poem. If you are willing to listen to it, I will read it.

There was warm applause from the audience.

Although the attendance rate was less than one-third, everyone was in high spirits and very enthusiastic.

Lin Chudong: This poem is called "Eight Hopes"

I look forward to spring in the middle of winter, and look forward to the morning sun in the middle of the night.

A beautiful woman looks forward to a wealthy man, while a laid-back mistress looks forward to a gangster.

The talented man who reads at night longs for the female ghost, and the single old man longs for the aunt.

When acting, he hopes to win an award; when performing crosstalk, he hopes his colleagues die!

Zuo Quan smiled, "I can't say that my level is good, but this is the truth."

The audience burst into laughter again. Da Fei is indeed a rhyme maniac. This is a pure doggerel, which is both funny and meaningful.

I don't know how many people this poem satirized. The most important thing is the last sentence, which says that crosstalkers hope for the death of their colleagues. This is obviously referring to Meng Xin.

Meng Xin now hopes that all his colleagues will die, so that he can become famous. Although he is not in the same industry as Da Fei, Da Fei's skits are half of his colleagues. He kept talking about it in the small theater for several days. Now everyone knows this petty thing.

Zhang Mengnan took this video and posted it online again.

Da Fei's new work "Eight Hopes" became popular in less than ten minutes.

Everyone was excited when they saw this paragraph.

"Did Dafei really go to challenge the club? Changed to crosstalk?"

"Normal, I'm used to Dafei's crossover, is he going against Meng Xin this time?"

"Yes, right next to Meng Xin, there is a joke called "Meng Xin Eats Shit" on the blogger's homepage, everyone go check it out."

"Dafei is so versatile, I just regret not being in Beijing, otherwise I have to go check it out!"

"The 300 yuan ticket is gone, now there are only 80 yuan left."

"Fuck, 80 yuan to see Dafei, it's a good deal!"

"That's nothing, I used to spend 30 yuan to see Dafei sing "No More Hesitation" at live_house."

"..."

At this time, Meng Xin and Yu Hong were still performing hard on the stage, and several audience members took out their mobile phones.

Many relatives and friends reminded them, and the old joke of Meng Xin and Yu Hong was a bit boring, so several people looked at their phones.

It's okay if they don't look at it, but they were immediately amused when they saw it.

"The idle mistress is looking forward to the gangster... I am so amused, Dafei is so talented, I really want to go to the scene to see Dafei!"

"Look at the location, isn't it next door?"

"Oh my god, it's really next door? Then let's go?"

"Let's go, Meng Xin's segment is boring, and besides, where can you find such a good thing as watching Dafei for 80 yuan?"

Several people stood up and quietly slipped out.

In addition to them, several audience members stood up one after another.

Meng Xin frowned slightly, what's wrong with these audience members, why did so many of them leave early today?

A few people in the back saw the video of Dafei dealing with the next one, and they were immediately amused, and Yu Hong also talked about Meng Xin's family.

An audience member shouted, "Are you telling the truth?"

Yu Hong was stunned for a moment, he was telling a joke, and didn't want to argue with the audience, so he ignored it and continued to say a few words.

After a joke, Meng Xin said on the stage.

"Everyone, let's try not to interrupt when listening to crosstalk, so as to ensure the integrity of the art. Thank you."

After saying this, Yu Hong and Meng Xin started to tell the next joke.

After hearing this, the audience who interrupted just now immediately lost interest and stood up and left.

It's boring here, but it's so lively over there.

In less than 20 minutes, one-third of the audience had left one after another.

Lin Chudong's performance was still going on.

Looking at the audience who were already half seated, Zuo Quan worked harder.

Lin Chudong: Telling crosstalk is a very simple thing, but also a very difficult thing. It all depends on the two of us to make you laugh.

Zuo Quan: That's right.

Lin Chudong: Then how can we tell crosstalk well? It should be appreciated by both the refined and the vulgar.

Zuo Quan: We often say these four words.

Lin Chudong: The refined should be as vulgar as the refined, and the vulgar should be as refined as the vulgar.

Zuo Quan: This is still a dialectical relationship.

Lin Chudong: There is no lotus without mud. Too elegant is not good.

Zuo Quan: Too elegant is not good?

Lin Chudong: Elegance is not romantic. Is Kunqu opera elegant? There are several allusions in each line of the lyrics. Therefore, tickets have been sold out since the Republic of China.

Zuo Quan: Oh, no one will watch it.

Lin Chudong: But it is not good if it is too vulgar.

Zuo Quan: Why is it not good if it is too vulgar?

Lin Chudong: Teacher Zuo took off his pants as soon as he came on stage.

The audience burst into laughter.

Zuo Quan: Who wants to watch it!

Zhang Mengnan and others grinned and took the lead in making a noise, "I want to watch it!"

Lin Chudong pointed at them, "The quality of the audience in Beijing needs to be improved!"

Everyone laughed again. Dafei's ability to make jokes is too strong. The audience can follow up no matter what he does!

In the back of the audience, the audience who just came out of Daxin Crosstalk took out his mobile phone and sent WeChat to several friends when he saw this scene.

"It's hilarious here, come quickly."
