Crazy Entertainment System

Around 4 PM on the day Huang Bo was signed, Chen Yu received a call from Huang Lei, who agreed to sign the contract.

When Chen Yu placed the two contracts in Gao Feiyan's hands, Gao Feiyan was speechless.

"Mr. Chen, who are all these people you've signed? I'm really curious how you found them and offered them such high salaries. Is it worth it?!" Gao Feiyan complained.

Trust my judgment as much as you trust yours; their future will surprise you.

There are a few more people who are already too late; I have to go to Huaying Film Studio. The date that couldn't be set is fast approaching.

"April 16th, what a great date!" Chen Yu exclaimed.

Besides Huaying Film Studio, there is also Shanghai Fine Arts Institute.

That concludes this chapter.

"May 18th is the day of the Shanghai-American Studies Association," Gao Feiyan said with a smile.

"Wow, it really does come once a month! That's even more frequent than my period!" Chen Yu was speechless upon hearing this.

But thinking about it, it's probably for the best; the sooner it's done, the sooner it'll be over.

"What a bombshell! The venue for this Shanghai-America Games event is supposedly the Shanghai Stadium with a capacity of 80,000!" Gao Feiyan dropped another bombshell.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu was completely speechless.

"No way, what's going on here? This is the Huaying National Grand Theatre and the Shanghai Fine Arts Institute Stadium, which can hold 80,000 people. Are they trying to outdo each other?!" Chen Yu complained.

Both the National Centre for the Performing Arts and the 80,000-seat stadium represent significant investments, and his performance was free; he wasn't adding to their burden.

This would put him in a very passive position.

"It's all your fans' doing!" Gao Feiyan rolled her eyes at Chen Yu and said irritably.

"Blame me?!" Chen Yu was very unwilling to accept it, but seeing Gao Feiyan's staring eyes, he compromised. It really was his fault.

"Have they announced it to the public?!" Chen Yu asked.

"Not yet, we're asking if you have time!" Gao Feiyan said.

"No, they dared to book the venue before even knowing if I had time. That's really bold. Do you think they would hate me if I said I didn't have time?!" Chen Yu laughed.

“I don’t know if Shanghai Mei hates you, but I know this is definitely bad for your reputation!” Gao Feiyan said.

"Okay, I was just saying," Chen Yu chuckled.

He wouldn't do something like that. According to his calculations, the recording of the crosstalk and sketch competition is scheduled for around May 20th, so it won't be a problem.

"Oh, and don't forget to sign me up for the crosstalk and skit competition," Chen Yu said, planning to use the company's name to register.

It's really inconvenient to just go and register.

"You really want to participate in this crosstalk and sketch comedy competition?!" Gao Feiyan really didn't think highly of Chen Yu. It's true that Chen Yu is a genius, but in the entertainment industry, his achievements lie primarily in songwriting and singing within the music field.

Other fields are like completely different worlds.

There is still a big difference.

He didn't know much about crosstalk, but she knew it wasn't an easy art to learn.

Speaking, imitating, teasing, and singing are the four basic skills of a crosstalk performer.

It refers to storytelling, as well as the way of speaking and setting up the narrative.

Learn: to imitate various characters, dialects and other sounds, to learn to sing famous excerpts from traditional operas, and in modern times, to learn to sing and dance.

To make someone laugh is to create a joke or to make someone laugh.

"Singing" is often thought of as performing opera or singing. However, "singing" actually refers to performing "Taiping Lyrics." Taiping Lyrics is a fundamental skill in crosstalk (xiangsheng).

Of the four, she was least worried about singing, since Chen Yu was a true vocal powerhouse and she was least afraid of singing.

I'm not too worried about learning, because a strong singer like me has a strong ability to learn voices.

Just like a programmer, once you've mastered one language, you can quickly pick up other languages.

Because there's a solid foundation there.

But this guy, looking like Chen Yu, to be honest, Gao Feiyan was really worried for Chen Yu.

It's said that Chen Yu has a decent tongue. But it remains to be seen how he'll react in real-life situations.

The main issue with crosstalk is making people laugh, but Chen Yu, a sketch comedian, completely crossed over into other genres.

The skit was a real performance, basically unrelated to singing, and could be considered a theatrical performance.

It showcases acting skills, but more importantly, the performance of a skit has an exaggerated style, and you only get one chance. You have to pass on the first try, or you will fail. Moreover, a skit is a team project, so it is really difficult to do.

Chen Yu is a complete newcomer.

It wouldn't be surprising if Chen Yu were to act in a TV series or movie as Gao Feiyan, because if it doesn't work out, there's always a NG (take-it-out) or a stand-in. But there's absolutely no such opportunity in a skit!

Therefore, Gao Feiyan was very skeptical about this.

"Don't be so distrustful of me, okay? I'm a prince who's been called a prodigy. I can sing, I can write songs, I'm good at IT, I can do comedy sketches and stand-up comedy. There's nothing I, Chen Yu, can't do. Do you think I've been busy these past few days doing nothing and just messing around?" Chen Yu rolled his eyes and said irritably. He was very angry about Gao Feiyan's distrust, but of course, he also understood it.

"I know you're very capable, but I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. This kind of comedy sketch is a one-off deal. If it succeeds, it succeeds, but it won't increase your popularity much. However, if it fails, it will definitely damage your reputation. I think you should take it easy and work in the entertainment industry for a year or two. Once you have some experience, then you can try this stage play."

Because he has very high requirements for the actors. In addition, it inevitably involves professional skills such as music, script, costume, stage design, and lighting, so the conditions for a successful stage play are very demanding.

"If you insist on going, I think you should stick to crosstalk or sketch comedy. Postpone it for now!" Gao Feiyan was still unwilling to give up. She was really afraid that Chen Yu would ruin his reputation because of this incident.

"I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Besides, so what if my reputation is damaged? There's no new success without new attempts. My willingness to go is a success in itself!" Chen Yu laughed.

"Alright, my dear Feiyan, put your mind at ease and stop having such wild thoughts. I know what I'm doing. I'm still young, and if I don't go crazy now, what will I do when I'm old? I'll have no memories left."

"Like I always say, youthful arrogance perfectly describes me," Chen Yu said with a grin.

"I have nothing more to say to you. You can handle it yourself. Anyway, I've kindly reminded you. As for the specifics, I can't and don't want to interfere! But I feel like your last sentence was saying I'm old?!" Gao Feiyan asked with displeasure.

"No, absolutely not. Sister Feiyan, you're very young. It's time to find a husband. You're already over thirty. If you don't find one soon, you'll really become an old maid!" Chen Yu teased.

"Get out!" (To be continued.)
