Chapter 634: You Still Dare Not to Laugh? (2/2)

According to the regulations, no one could interfere with the performance. w.a.n.g Lu just waved his hand and a lot of pictures appeared. It was not that he used a magical spell, but rather… he had already prepared it beforehand and calculated the time!

In other words, did he even calculate that they would have this conversation?

However, soon she had no time to think about these things because the pictures on the scene had already moved.

It recorded the daily life of a stand-up comedian.

It was a daily life that was unbearable to see. In a shabby thatched house, a woman in rag hoa.r.s.ely said, ”Old Zhang, yesterday my second brother and sister in law came again.”

The man named Old Zhang frowned. ”Did they come here asking for debts again? I told them that I would definitely pay them back. As long as landlord Zhang run another stand-up event again, I could earn money to pay them back.”

The woman just sighed. ”When would landlord Zhang run another stand-up event? Moreover, even if he does, would you be surely invited to perform? Wasn't your last performance not funny at all?”

Old Zhang patted the table angrily. ”I was secretly learning from a famous master in the county, how could it not be funny? Moreover, the young master of landlord Zhang's family is precisely lawless, doesn't he need to be persuaded to do good?”

The woman opened her mouth but did not speak.

Old Zhang became angrier. ”I know what you want to say, learning through entertainment is useless right? The lines that I have learned is not funny, right? Just you wait, in these two days, I could come up with funny lines!”

Then the pictures changed. At the bank of a deserted river, Old Zhang stutteringly said, ”And then-and then that young man quickly turn around. This head turn was nothing important, guess what? He-he saw his wife.”

With that, Old Zhang hesitated for a moment. Looking at the surface of the river, he grabbed his disheveled hair and then repeated it.

”This head turn was nothing important, guess what? He saw h-his wife.”

After a moment of silence, Old Zhang repeated his words again, ”He saw his wife…”

Speaking to this, even he himself could clearly feel how boring his line was.

So what if he saw his wife? What was so funny about it? But there should be, right? But if there was, why no one laughed? Why was there no laugh in my stand-up? No one laughed!

I just wanted to perform a stand-up comedy, I just wanted to hear people laugh! Why-why couldn't...

”Hahaha!”

Suddenly he looked up and laughed. His laughter echoed in everywhere around him. It seemed to be a happy laughter, but also sad. Halfway through his laugh, Old Zhang was already crying.

”Why!? why is it not funny at all? Why?”

Then the story ended there. The pictures changed, now it showed a close-up look of a performer who was reciting his line on the stage.

That performer was Old Zhang. Compared to the story, now he looked more energetic. He was dressed in a brand new patches-less plain robe and had neatly trimmed hair. The whole person seemed to be ten years younger; even the wrinkles on his face seemed to be smoothed out.

Although he had only one line, at this moment, he poured all that he had into this line.

”This head turn was nothing important, guess what? He saw his wife, hahaha!”

In the last sentence, the six to seven hundred people on the stage laughed out loudly together with him.

On the rostrum, Xuan Mo stared blankly at the scene.

Outside the venue, the audiences who were watching the show broadcasted through the signboards were also shocked.

What was exactly happening here? Why did those clumsy stand-up comedians suddenly light up the light of humanity?

If the previous group of comic monologues shows were just disgusting farce, right now, people's heart suddenly became a bit warmer and gratified when they saw the smile of Old Zhang. Some people couldn't help but float out a smile on their face.

w.a.n.g Lu proudly said, ”See, the audience has given the performance the fairest evaluation with their facial expression!”

”Do you think this kind of praise out of sympathy and compa.s.sion worthy of pride? This… is simply a fraud!”

w.a.n.g Lu said, ”How could it be a fraud? Old Zhang is really just a bad comedian, and I just properly showed how bad he is.”

”This kind of show, which has been smeared with artistic technique, is not real!”

”So you know that it's just a show. This is a big show, a program, not a news interview. Yet, you think I shouldn't use the artistic expression? Don't you think it's ridiculous?”

Xuan Mo was suddenly at a loss for words. Especially when she saw those several naive Earth Immortals around her whose emotions had been deeply affected. When they began to laugh together with the stand-up comedians on the stage, she really had nothing to say.

”Very well, just consider you win this time.”
