"We'll talk later! The actors are coming on stage!"
Just as Du Chen was questioning Wang Yue, Zhao Pengfei saw two people walking onto the small stage. It seemed that the performance was about to begin.
Seeing this, Du Chen and Wang Yue also shut up and waited to watch the show first.
"Good evening, everyone!"
"Yes, good evening everyone!"
"Looks like there are quite a few people in the audience today! And those people sitting up front are all students, right? They look so young!"
Du Chen didn't expect this situation. Although he didn't know the two teachers on the stage, just by coming up and mentioning it, he felt a sense of participation!
"Are you students?"
The supporting actor directly asked which table Du Chen and his friends were at.
“Not a student!”
Du Chen's head twitched, and he immediately took over the conversation!
"Not students? With my keen eyes, you look like energetic college students! Hey, little brother, who are you?"
The comedian also became interested and asked directly to the most active Du Chen.
“We are the ones who provide food and clothing for us!”
Du Chen directly took the other party by surprise, wanting to see his reaction. Moreover, when he was browsing Douyin, what Du Chen liked to watch most was the audience under the stage and the teachers on the stage making trouble. As long as it was not too excessive, it was generally as funny as the joy brought by listening to the crosstalk itself.
"Oh, little brother, you're absolutely right! We two brothers bow to the breadwinners present here!"
After the funny man finished speaking, he and the supporting actor bowed solemnly to the audience below the stage.
"good!"
Du Chen clapped and cheered excitedly, and then the audience around him also applauded and cheered for the two teachers on the stage!
"Du Chen, you're so brave! Aren't you afraid of embarrassing others?"
Taking advantage of the break in applause, Zhao Pengfei asked Du Chen in astonishment, saying that he had never encountered such a situation in the crosstalk club.
"That's just the beginning. If you want to learn crosstalk, you have to face this stage. You're speaking on stage, and the audience is booing you. What do you do? Pretend you didn't hear anything and continue performing? Or argue with the audience? This will test your ability to adapt to the situation!"
Du Chen was explaining the truth to Zhao Pengfei. He knew what the audience would be like in the future, especially when the little black fat guy became successful, his jealous colleagues would use all kinds of tricks in the audience. Without a big heart, it would be impossible to enjoy the atmosphere on the scene.
"No way? People like you are relatively rare, right?"
As soon as Zhao Pengfei said this, he knew he was in trouble again, and then he looked at Du Chen with a wry smile.
"Ah, really, what's wrong with someone like me? You really are quicker talking than thinking. Can't you think about what you want to say before you even think about it? Really..."
Du Chen looked at Zhao Pengfei helplessly. Fortunately, they had been friends for so many years, otherwise Du Chen would not want to say a word to him!
"Zhao Pengfei, you're wrong about blaming Du Chen. When you're performing crosstalk on stage, anything goes, especially in a small theater like this. It's not like a TV stage. If the crosstalk is well-delivered, there's constant applause, but if the punchline doesn't click, there's a lot of booing and cursing!"
As a native of Tianjin, Wang Yue has naturally seen the other side of the young and old men off the stage. Unlike the audience on TV, everyone will remain silent at most. If the crosstalk performance in the small theater fails, no one will buy it.
After chatting in low voices for a few sentences, everyone's attention was focused on the stage again, and they continued to listen to the crosstalk attentively.
Amidst laughter, one show after another went by, and Du Chen's anticipation gradually grew. Although he basically didn't recognize the actors on the stage, he had to admit that listening to crosstalk in a small theater was much more interesting than on TV.
First, many traditional crosstalk performances are longer than those on TV, making them incredibly enjoyable. Furthermore, in small theaters, the actors are more relaxed, offering a variety of witty and casual remarks, interacting with the audience and occasionally cracking jokes. The atmosphere in the teahouse is incredibly lively. This was before traditional crosstalk had a second spring, and Du Chen finds it hard to imagine how lively the atmosphere would be if crosstalk were to become popular again.
Finally, around ten o'clock in the evening, the long-awaited Little Black Fatty Guo Lao Shi came on stage. What Du Chen didn't expect was that Little Black Fatty's partner was now Aunt Yu. He didn't know if Aunt Yu was just coming to enjoy the show occasionally, or if they had already formed a golden partnership.
Teacher Guo and Aunt Yu had just stood on the stage, and before they could say anything, Du Chen was already excited.
"good!"
Du Chen's cheers stood out in this quiet moment, and he cheered and applauded at the same time, which made Mr. Guo and Aunt Yu, who had rich stage experience, stunned for a moment.
"Wow, that scared me! I didn't even start to say anything before someone started cheering. I've been doing crosstalk for so many years and this is the first time I've seen that!"
As expected of the golden supporting role, Aunt Yu reacted immediately and teased both Du Chen and herself.
Old Guo looked carefully and found that the person was sitting at the same table with his "nephew". Obviously, he was his "nephew's" classmate.
"Student, even as a shill, you should have some professional ethics. You should at least wait for us to say a few words before applauding. You applauded without saying a word right away. Your professional skills are a bit rusty! I'll deduct five dollars from your salary later!"
Lao Guo also reacted quickly and continued what Aunt Yu said, and also joked with Du Chen.
The audience in the audience laughed at the reactions of Lao Guo and Aunt Yu. Du Chen suddenly had an idea and thought of a very famous joke in the future, so he made up his mind and shouted loudly.
"Refund!"
This so-called earth-shattering and soul-stirring cry drowned out the laughter in the audience. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then became equally excited and shouted in unison.
"Refund! Refund!"
Aside from Du Chen, the entire 302 dormitory, including Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang, was stunned. Was this considered a stage accident? What would they do if this happened to them?
"Hahahaha, Brother Qian, what is the purpose of our crosstalk?"
Old Guo reacted quickly and asked Aunt Yu next to him directly.
"Oh, there's a purpose, tell everyone!"
Aunt Yu looked at her partner Lao Guo with great interest, but she didn't know what Lao Guo wanted to say.
"Our principle is no refunds! You buy tickets at the door, and refunds are in Haikou! If you want a refund, go ahead!"
Lao Guo said to the audience below the stage with a joking smile on his face.
"good!"
Du Chen cheered again and then applauded.
"Hey! That's you! Don't think you'll get a raise just because you're cheering and clapping! I'm telling you, you won't get any pay for today!"
Lao Guo continued to make fun of Du Chen, and Du Chen watched Lao Guo's performance happily. He felt it was beautiful to be able to interact with the little black fat man, and it was indeed interesting.
Happy Du Chen glanced around and found the waiter standing nearby. He waved to signal the waiter to come over.
"Master, is there a flower basket here?"
"Handsome guy has it! Do you need it?"
"Well, bring me three flower baskets!"
