Chapter 277: A Single Man and a Single Woman (Please subscribe to support!)
…
If Xu Li is the representative of the grassroots class in Happy Wheat, then Xu Li's partner Ma Lili is the representative of the actors who graduated from professional colleges in Happy Wheat.
The comedy team of Happy Wheat, which Xu Kaihua spent so much money to create, naturally cannot be composed entirely of grassroots - in fact, most of them are from major professional colleges, and those who are truly grassroots actually only account for a very small part.
This is actually normal, because even in comedies, most actors from grassroots backgrounds cannot perform as well as actors from professional schools.
Ma Lili graduated from the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama and the Institute of Drama of Peking University, and is definitely a top student in acting.
Before joining Happy Wheat, Ma Lili had already performed well in many dramas and film and television series.
But compared with these serious roles, what left a deeper impression on Xu Kai was Ma Lili's comedy performance.
Ma Lili was personally selected by Xu Kai from among thousands of actors who applied. She has outstanding comedic talent, quick adaptability, and above-average looks, and has the potential to play a leading role.
What is rare is that Ma Lili is willing to give up her own image for comedy, and she will play whatever role she is asked to play.
All right.
To be frank, Xu Kai actually found Ma Lili based on Ma Li's image, and also trained Ma Lili according to Ma Li's performance style.
Under Xu Kai's guidance, Ma Lili's performance has become unique. Coupled with her beautiful appearance and strong aura, it can be said that she has great potential to become a new comedy goddess.
In addition to these two red flowers, Xu Kai also found two excellent supporting actors from the Happy Wheat comedy team to cooperate with Xu Li and Ma Lili to interpret "Today's Happiness".
Well...actually, "Today's Happiness" is "Today's Happiness 2" from the previous life.
Xu Kai feels that although "Today's Happiness" is also good, it is "Today's Happiness 2" that really brought Shen Teng into the public eye - the most impressive thing about him is the line that what defeats you is not innocence but innocence (no shoes).
Moreover, from the sketch itself, "Today's Happiness 2" narrates the relationship between men and women and between husband and wife. The plot is playful but not humorous, funny but not obscene, and has a little bit of adult color.
This is more in line with the starting point of "Happy Comedian".
Overall, Xu Li, Ma Lili and other comedians from Happy Wheat have brought out everything Xu Kai taught them.
But if they could be more relaxed, many of the jokes in the skit would have been better delivered. However, because it was their first time on this kind of PK stage, they became unconsciously excited when they heard the laughter and applause from the audience, which resulted in many of the jokes not being as loud as expected.
Xu Kai, who had been paying attention to Xu Li's performance in the audience, still felt a little regretful after seeing Xu Li's performance - Xu Kai felt that Xu Li's performance was still a little stiff, not as relaxed as during rehearsal.
Xu Kaixin thought: "Xu Li still has a long way to go in the field of comedy."
Final ranking: First, Northeast Folk Art Troupe.
Second, the team of Zhang Xiaosu and Zhen Xiaoling.
It is worth mentioning that there was only one vote difference between the Northeast Folk Art Troupe and the team of Zhang Xiaosu and Zhen Xiaoling.
Third, the Happy Wheat Comedy Team.
Fourth, Fuyun Society.
Fifth, Yang Tianci.
Sixth, Wang Jian.
Judging from the ranking, the sketch team still has a relatively advantageous position on the stage of "Happy Comedian".
There is no way around it. Although comedy is not just skits, it also includes crosstalk, physical performances, and various other forms, but in China, audiences still think that skits are comedy. This is the restriction that the Spring Festival Gala brings to the audience.
So the three sketch teams took the first, second and third places.
Some people will definitely be dissatisfied with this ranking.
But "Happy Comedian" is the same as "Singer", with real-name voting, and everything is traceable.
(People like Fan Linglong and Su Zui, who were brought in by Xu Kai, are just spectators and have no voting rights.) So the results of the competition of "Happy Comedian" are relatively fair and just.
In this case, you can't beat others, that just means your work is not as popular as others, there's nothing to say.
After the first episode of the show was recorded, Xu Kai treated everyone to a meal.
Although he is young, Xu Kai is a brother and friend of Zhao Laogen and Guo Fulun.
This meant that people like Shen Yang, Song Bao, and Cao Jin had to call Xu Kai "uncle".
Under the influence of alcohol, these people gave Xu Kai the title of "Old Uncle".
Regardless of whether Xu Kai was willing or not, everyone called him "Uncle", which made Xu Kai speechless and helpless! Xu Kai was rich, and the key point was that these contestants knew that Xu Kai, who was the screenwriter and director of several teams, was really capable.
Therefore, each of these people was sweet-talking and flattering more than the other. Some of them were even on the verge of kowtowing to Xu Kai and becoming his disciples - it was not that they didn't want to, but that they really had no reason to do so.
For example, Cao Jin, who wanted to get close to Xu Kai the most, called Xu Kai "uncle" all the time and flattered him madly. In addition, he was a crosstalk performer and was very good at speaking, so he really made Xu Kai feel very comfortable.
Unfortunately, Xu Kai had a bad impression of Cao Jin and was unwilling to fall out with Guo Fu, so he never accepted Cao Jin's offer.
Everyone had a great time during the dinner. On behalf of the "Happy Comedian" program production team, Xu Kai gave each team a big red envelope, and everyone was happy.
Taking advantage of this joyous occasion, Xu Kai was inevitably toasted with many drinks.
At first, Xu Li blocked Xu Kai's way, so Xu Kai stopped drinking.
But these comedians are really good at toasting, and they don’t toast much.
So Xu Kai symbolically drank half a glass of white wine.
Because he drank very little, Xu Kai did not use his internal energy to suppress the wine.
Who would have thought that this wine was the 72-proof Wuliangye original liquor brought by Shen Yang.
This 72-proof Wuliangye has a strong cellar aroma and a mellow body. Although the alcohol content is very high, it does not have such a strong spicy taste.
Xu Kai, who usually doesn't drink much, thought that this wine was just like ordinary liquor, so he drank it in the usual amount.
As a result, not long after drinking the wine, Xu Kai began to feel dizzy.
Seeing Xu Kai's face flushed, Shen Yang, who knew that Xu Kai had once made his master drunk, was still wondering: "Uncle, are you okay?"
Song Bao, who also knew Xu Kai's alcohol tolerance, said, "Shen Yang, this can't be a fake bar. Look how drunk your uncle is."
Shen Yang quickly explained, "Impossible, I asked someone to buy this from the Wuliangye Distillery. Master drinks this wine, and we drink it too."
Song Bao thought so and said, "That's strange. Uncle can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Why can't he drink half a cup today?"
Guo Fu said, "Alright, alright, let's stop discussing this. Don't let Qingyun go back today. Just rest here."
After hearing what Guo Fu said, everyone hurriedly helped Xu Kai upstairs to rest.
After settling Xu Kai down, the attentive Guo Fu was afraid that Xu Kai might have an accident, so he looked around the crowd and said to Zhang Xiaosu and Zhen Xiaoling, who had not drunk much and were both women, "Qingyun suddenly drank too much today. It's better to be safe than sorry. You two should work hard and stay to take care of Qingyun for a while. When you are sure he is okay, you can leave."
Zhang Xiaosu and Zhen Xiaoling, who had not had the opportunity to show themselves at the table just now, agreed readily.
Xu Li and others, who had drunk a lot, saw that Zhang Xiaosu and Zhen Xiaoling were taking care of Xu Kai, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
After everyone left, Zhang Xiaosu and Zhen Xiaoling sat down on the sofa in front of Xu Kai's bed.
The two were very happy today, and even very excited! You know, they were just a little bit away from defeating the legendary Zhao Clan in the comedy world.
This is enough to make any comedian proud.
Zhen Xiaoling looked at Xu Kai on the bed and said, "He is really a genius. He can even come up with such a great script for Hello, Li Huanying."
Zhang Xiaosu looked at Xu Kai deeply and said, "Some people are born to be extraordinary."
The two of them chatted casually about Xu Kai.
The more they talked, the more they felt that Xu Kai was amazing. They even agreed that they would flatter Xu Kai and ask him to help them revise the script, help them get good results on "Happy Comedians", and then use "Happy Comedians" as a stepping stone to fame.
Xu Kai, who was drunk, did not make any noise and slept peacefully.
After chatting with Zhang Xiaosu for a while, Zhen Xiaoling couldn't help but yawn loudly.
After a day of recording the show and being too lazy to eat and sleep, Zhen Xiaoling couldn't help but say, "Why don't we go back to sleep? I think he's fine now."
Zhang Xiaosu said: "Let's watch it for a while longer. If something happens, we will be the sinners of the film and television industry."
After hearing this, Zhen Xiaoling stopped talking and wanted to snuggle up on the sofa to sleep.
When Zhang Xiaosu saw this, he said, "How about you go back to sleep first and I'll watch it for a while?"
When Zhen Xiaoling heard this, she agreed without saying anything: "Okay."
After saying this, Zhen Xiaoling, who was almost dying of sleep, ran away.
Zhang Xiaosu smiled and shook his head, then walked to Xu Kai and looked at his condition.
Because there was no one else in the room and Xu Kai was sleeping soundly, Zhang Xiaosu couldn't help but stand by the bed and look at Xu Kai's appearance carefully.
"Not to mention that you're so smart, you're also so perfect looking. You really don't give other men a chance to survive!"
As he watched, Zhang Xiaosu, who had drunk quite a bit of wine, couldn't help but think, "If I kiss him secretly now, he probably won't know, right?"
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Zhang Xiaosu quickly knocked his head: "What are you thinking about? How dare you think about such a shameless thing!"
Zhang Xiaosu felt that she could no longer be alone in a room with Xu Kai, otherwise something bad would happen.
So, Zhang Xiaosu went to Xu Kai's bedside and turned off the light.
After looking at Xu Kai for a while, Zhang Xiaosu turned around and prepared to leave.
But just as Zhang Xiaosu raised her foot, a strong arm suddenly stretched out from behind her and hugged her slender waist...
