Chapter 490 - The Kings without a crown! (1/2)
Chapter 490: The Kings without a crown!
The performance was over.
They had finished their crosstalk performance.
At the scene, a tidal wave like applause rang out. Many members of the audience were still clapping as they laughed. Even though the crosstalk performance was over, they were still roaring with laughter, immersed in the G.o.dlike joke segments of Zhang Ye.
With internet technology being so advanced and the overload of information, there wasn't much that the commoners had not seen before. Clips of people being scolded or scolding people were all too common, but to be able to scold at such a level, to use sarcasm in such a playful way, and even bringing humorous punchlines across, this was something that they had witnessed for the first time in their lives. All of this was embedded deeply into their minds!
”Alright!”
”Hahaha!”
”Teacher Zhang, you're really great!”
”Teacher Yao is great too, he's supporting really well!”
”Aiyo, I've shedded more than a pound of water from just my tears alone today!”
The live studio audience were very flattering with their thunderous applause. It was even more pa.s.sionate and louder than yesterday's ”I am a Scholar”!
The preliminary round was a stage for Zhang Ye to show his style of crosstalking. In today's second round of performances, Zhang Ye had finally let loose by continuing the never before seen style of crosstalk by not only developing it, but actually bringing it to it's peak of development. He injected sarcasm, no, perhaps it was better to say that every of his sentences were made to be sarcastic from the beginning till the end. When the audience saw this performance, they were all excited by it and were making a scene in the recording studio with their whistling!
Zhang Ye smiled, ”Thank you everyone.”
Yao Jiancai also said, ”Thank you.”
Zhang Ye had a good time scolding, while Old Yao was also very satisfied with what he said. The two of them were in high spirits.
Working together this time was really a sublimation of their artistic talents. In the past, a person from Zhang Ye's previous world had said -- The main and side character both try to seek out a good partner, but that is even more difficult than choosing the correct daughter-in-law. Zhang Ye fully agreed with this. Just like today's joke segments, only Old Yao could latch onto them as well as he did. If he were to have any other partner, even if Zhang Ye were to break down the script and reproduce it word for word, it would still be unlikely that they could hold the exchange so well. This not only required good basics and professionalism, but it also required mutual understanding, especially knowing each other's characters well. Besides, what kind of crosstalk would ever stick completely to script?
It would not be possible for the main and side characters to follow the script to a cue and while making subtle changes that required spontaneous wit. A little slip of the mouth would bring about changes in the script, making it hard to follow exactly the way it was planned.
This was why Zhang Ye felt that he was very lucky that Old Yao was the one beside him. It allowed him to talk freely and with ease, making it possible to do justice to the original work of ”I will reject the Three Vulgarities” by Guo Degang!
The applause stopped.
Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai both looked towards the judges panel.
There was only one judge left sitting there, the one who evaluated Tang Dazhang's disciples' crosstalk performance to be lacking. It felt as though he wasn't that hostile towards Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai.
But he was also rather speechless now. Witnessing such an amazing performance by the two of them, he no longer knew how to evaluate their work, ”Hmm, you guys....”
The audience were antic.i.p.ating his comments.
Finally, with a slight hesitation, he said, ”Let's move on to the next group.” He chose not to say too much even if he was amazed by Zhang Ye's talent. After all, he was still a part of the crosstalk world. With the crosstalk and folk art world both labeling Zhang Ye as a heretic, it would be wiser not to say anything at all.
Zhang Ye smiled and prepared to go off the stage with Old Yao.
As they turned around to walk off, the audience stood up and gave another round of thunderous applause. It felt like they were cheering them on with their clapping!
”Go, Teacher Zhang!”
”Teacher Yao, you go too!”
”We will support the two of you!”
”Yea, if the crosstalk world does not recognize you both? There's still us around!”
”Who dares to say that the two of you were vulgar? Your crosstalk performance was truly an art form! Without some sarcasm or or an affable speaking tone, how could you call it art?”
”Haha! Let those mainstream crosstalk actors go become educators! We will listen to crosstalks by the both of you in the future!”
”If this is what being vulgar is, I'll choose to be vulgar!”
None of the judges affirmed their performance, with two of them leaving the studio in a rage, but at this moment, on almost all of the audience's minds, Yao Jiancai and Zhang Ye were the kings without crowns!
......
At the same moment.
Those who were watching online exploded with excitement as well!
”Oh my G.o.d! Is Zhang Ye on steroids today!?”
”Hahahaha! Every time that Zhang Ye stands on a stage, his king's aura will always show! Competing on sarcasm or face smacking, who could match up to him?”
”He's the ultimate best!”
”The incident that made me laugh the most was when the judges were chased away by his scolding. Aiyo, I just kept laughing till my sides were in pain whenever I think of this! Hahahahaha!”
”The famous Alexander and the few other reviewers have all been scolded badly!”
”The one who got the worst was Tang Dazhang and those people from the folk arts world!”
”Dont b.u.t.tin! Aiyo, how did Teacher Zhang think of that! It's so sarcastic! It's too wicked! Didn't he smack the entire Folk Arts world and Crosstalk world with that?!”
”But they were really b.u.t.ting in! Zhang Ye did not offend or step on anyone's tail and even kept rather quiet after being banned by the SARFT, but those people still chose to stir up issues with him. Then, when Zhang Ye came to do crosstalk, he did not do anything to the folk arts world or the crosstalk world, but they still chose find fault with him, calling on the whole country to suppress him along with them! They even wanted to pressure Central TV into disqualifying Zhang Ye's partic.i.p.ation rights? What dog s.h.i.+t was that! Why did they b.u.t.t in for!”
”Zhang Ye's really outstanding!”
”Teacher Zhang been really outstanding in the entertainment industry without match!”
”Eh, the live broadcast has been cut off!”
”Hehe, Central TV Department 11 has finally realized their mistake!”
......
At the same time.
A control room in Central TV.
Seven or eight leaders and staff of Department 11 had rushed over and some were even leaders of Central TV. Of course, there were also those who were involved as the organizers of the crosstalk compet.i.tion!
