Guo Gang, along with his partners Yu Qian and Wang Yueheng, walked onto the stage with smiles on their faces.
As the three took the stage, another round of applause erupted from the audience.
"Haha, thank you, thank you everyone for the applause!"
"First, let me introduce you. This is my long-time partner, the renowned antique appraisal artist, Mr. Yu Qian!"
"I am Guo Gang, a relatively unknown crosstalk performer."
As soon as Guo Gang stepped onto the stage, he burst into hearty laughter and introduced himself.
"No, how did I become an antique appraisal artist again?"
Yu Qian was stunned and asked in confusion.
"This is the honorific title I bestow upon you."
"Everyone knows that Brother Qian likes to collect antiques and old objects, so he has developed a keen eye and is exceptionally accurate in appraising treasures..."
"Their appraisal skills are exceptionally good..."
"Especially skilled at appraising royal treasures, commonly known as the Imperial Appraiser..."
Guo Gang stood behind the crosstalk table and explained in a serious tone.
"Stop, stop! How did I become an imperial censor again? Is your 'emperor' a legitimate member of the royal family?"
Yu Qian hurriedly reached out to stop the other person from continuing.
Haha~
"Whoa~"
As soon as the teasing and joking words were uttered, the audience burst into laughter and cheers.
"Uh, the person next to me..."
"Forget it, I'm afraid of being cyberbullied. Let him introduce himself..."
Guo Gang then looked at Wang Yueheng, signaling Wang Yueheng to introduce himself.
He had originally intended to use his silver tongue to tease Wang Yueheng as well.
However, the thought that today's crosstalk performance would be broadcast live across the entire internet came to mind.
There are probably a lot of Wang Yueheng's die-hard fans gathered in the live broadcast room.
If I could just casually tease singer Wang Yueheng like I do with my old partner Yu Qian.
He might be attacked by young viewers across the internet.
Guo Gang had paid close attention to Wang Yueheng on a regular basis.
They are deeply wary of his influence online.
I vaguely remember that anyone who offended Wang Yueheng either suffered a complete internet ban and ended up in jail working on a sewing machine, or inexplicably lost their life.
"Ha, so you have times when you're afraid too."
Yu Qian took the opportunity to deliberately mock him from the side.
After speaking, Yu Qian looked at Wang Yueheng and encouraged him with his eyes to speak freely and boldly.
"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Yueheng, a relatively unknown singer!"
"Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Guo Gang and Mr. Yu Qian. I am very happy to be here on the Deyun Society stage to meet everyone!"
Wang Yueheng simply copied Guo Gang's self-introduction, standing in front of the microphone and speaking loudly.
Haha~
"Huh~"
"Brother Yue Heng is so handsome!"...
The audience burst into laughter and applause.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yueheng of Deyun Society was so natural and at ease on his first stage appearance.
There was absolutely no sense of Guo Gang controlling the aura of any other celebrity.
"As expected of Yue Heng, his on-the-spot reaction is really quick!"
"As we all know, Guo Degang's jokes are never scripted, and he probably never expected Wang Yueheng to imitate him."
"It would be amazing if Wang Yueheng and Guo Gang could sing opera-style songs together on stage."
"Haha, that scene is too beautiful to look at."...
The number of viewers in the live stream jumped to two million.
With the continuous spread and promotion of the Douyin platform, and the fans who came after hearing the news.
The number of people online in real time is still soaring.
Various kinds of bullet comments began to fly across the screen.
Since it was a commercial performance, the gift-giving function was not disabled in the live stream.
Therefore, when people discovered that they could actually send gifts in the live stream room...
All sorts of special effects gifts instantly began to fly across the screen.
From the cheapest red heart-shaped flowers to colorful fireworks and rocket carnivals...
The live stream was as lively as if it were Chinese New Year.
The colorful gift effects immediately boosted the morale of many people.
"Teacher Yue Heng is too modest. If you weren't famous, there really wouldn't be any famous singers in the world."
Guo Gang was also delighted to see Wang Yueheng take over the conversation so easily, and quickly followed suit.
Yu Qian chuckled from the side, "Your words have offended a lot of people for Wang Yueheng."
"Actually, I also really enjoy listening to Yue Heng's songs on a regular basis."
"Like 'The East Wind Blows,' 'Two-Piece Sticks,' 'Women Cry, It's Not a Crime'..."
"When I'm not busy, I'll sing a couple of lines, like 'Hum hum ha hey, hurry up and use nunchucks, the Western tiger has already been kicked away by me...'"
Guo Gang continued to use his eloquence, making light of things as he spoke.
Yu Qian interrupted, "Wow, not a single one of them is right. How come even tigers are involved?"
Guo Gang: "Hehe, a paper tiger, but one thing is true."
Yu Qian: "What is real?"
Guo Gang: "Nine items!"
Yu Qian looked puzzled. "Nine of Bamboo? Mahjong tiles are on the table?"
Guo Gang glanced at the other person and continued slowly, "Dragon!"
"Hmm!"
"Splash!"
"Hahaha, long live the Dragon Kingdom!"
"As expected of Guo Gang! That joke was so fitting!"...
Immediately following, another burst of wild cheers and applause erupted from the audience.
And the applause was noticeably more enthusiastic than before.
Hearing Guo Gang's hint...
The entire audience erupted in applause.
Many of the older people were laughing, but tears welled up in their eyes.
Everyone has already seen the latest news.
Artifacts stolen by robbers and hidden in overseas museums suddenly returned to China overnight.
Furthermore, the "thief" who took the cultural relics back to China remains at large and has not been heard from since.
Everyone's excitement was palpable.
Yu Qian: "Oh, right, what you're talking about is called the Nine Dragon Wall!"
Guo Gang: "Nine dragons flew back on their own! And they even brought back a bunch of luggage."
"Like the stone pillow symbolizing peace and prosperity for the nation, the bronze double-ram zun from the Shang Dynasty, and the Kanghou gui from the Western Zhou Dynasty..."
Yu Qian: "It seems this dragon is also an appraiser; he brought back only good items..."
Guo Gang: "It's said that a few dragons haven't flown back yet and are still searching for their way..."
Yu Qian: "Oh dear, then we should hurry up and look forward to Yue Heng filming another short drama, 'Escape from the British Museum 2'!"
Guo Gang: "Then you have to see if Wang Yueheng is willing."
Upon seeing the two crosstalk performers, the conversation turned to himself.
Standing to the side, Wang Yueheng smiled and replied, "I plan to turn it directly into a TV series."
"You're really ruthless; you're even better at appraising treasures than Brother Qian!"
Upon hearing Wang Yueheng's humorous reply, Guo Gang himself couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, the more appraisers like us, the better!"
Upon hearing Yu Qian's words, the three of them laughed in unison on stage.
"Hahaha…"
"Dragon Kingdom's Joyous Events Series!"
"Looking forward to more dragons flying back!"
"Suddenly, I thought of the lyrics to 'Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth,' 'The Nine Dragon Wall is covered with glazed tiles, history has risen and fallen from here!'"
"Wang Yueheng is awesome!"
"The thought of Xiaoyuhu finally going home brought tears to my eyes."...
The audience members below the stage were both laughing and crying as they listened to the banter between the two crosstalk performers and Wang Yueheng.
I truly experienced what it means to be caught between laughter and tears.
...
Just as the audience in China was immersed in the laughter and joy of the crosstalk performance.
The British Museum in London, England, is eerily quiet and lifeless.
The gray-haired curator, Fisher, gazed at the empty Dragon Kingdom Pavilion exhibition hall and the police officers taking photos as evidence.
His eyes darted around, and he looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
He was still holding a threatening letter in his hand at that moment.
Printed in English, it warns the Imperial Museum that it must proactively return all of its more than 20,000 treasured artifacts from China.
Otherwise, when the thief comes back next time, it won't be as simple as just taking away cultural relics.
