Crazy Entertainment System

Chapter 420 The Ward Checkers Arrive

"Teamwork is indeed a big challenge. Regarding this final, my idea is to focus on crosstalk. To be honest, crosstalk is almost forgotten by people now. I think I should use my fame to do something for it. We can't wait until it's really lost and declining before we start learning it, or it will be too late!" Chen Yu took Huang Lei's question as an example. Everything else was easy to discuss, but teamwork is something that can't be cultivated in a day or two.

Some people are born with perfect chemistry, while others can never seem to work together seamlessly.

When performing crosstalk on stage, the test of tacit understanding is especially important.

Huang Lei fell silent after hearing Chen Yu's words; the decline of crosstalk had become an established fact.

With the proliferation of exciting entertainment options like movies, television shows, and variety programs, crosstalk has lost even more status.

Moreover, to perform crosstalk well, one really needs many years to cultivate the basic skills.

Nowadays, people's first choice to become a star is to be a singer or actor, or a director or model. They look down on crosstalk, an art that requires cultivation from childhood.

“We can give it a try, and I don’t think the results will mean anything to either of us,” Huang Lei said, seemingly having made up his mind.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu immediately understood Huang Lei's meaning.

However, Chen Yu absolutely disagreed with Huang Lei's statement, "And I think the results are meaningless to both of us now." It might not mean much to Huang Lei, but it meant a lot to Chen Yu, as the term was related to the mission.

Achieving a top-three ranking nationwide will earn you a Divine Blessing Upgrade Ticket (one Divine Blessing Upgrade Ticket: skills below S+ can be randomly upgraded by 1-3 levels!).

If you win first place in the competition, you'll be rewarded with a Charm Fruit! This Charm Fruit can randomly increase your Charm value by 1-3 points. But what Chen Yu cares about isn't just appearance and looks; it's primarily about personal charisma.

Personal charisma gives you an attractive quality in terms of character, temperament, ability, and moral character. It makes you more popular and accepted by others.

Of course, the penalty for failing the mission was something Chen Yu didn't want to see either: the removal of one of his personal skills or items. Who knew what would be removed!

However, he didn't say it aloud, but simply nodded.

He planned to try it out first, and if it really didn't work, he would change the program. Anyway, there was still a week left.

"Here's the script. Familiarize yourself with it, and let's give it a try! Let's see if our chemistry is as high as 80%, 90%, or even 100%, or as low as a pitiful zero!" Chen Yu took out the script for the crosstalk performance and handed it to Huang Lei.

"Full of Learning?!" Huang Lei read the words aloud naturally upon seeing them on the cover of the script.

There was a hint of curiosity in his words.

Chen Yu chose a crosstalk performance by Shaanxi actors Miao Fu and Wang Sheng, which aired on the Beijing TV Spring Festival Gala on the evening of January 31, 2014 (the first day of the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Horse). This crosstalk combined traditional Chinese idioms and myths with foreign myths, achieving a fusion of ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign elements. The entire performance included segments such as Jingwei Filling the Sea, Kuafu Chasing the Sun, Nezha Making Havoc in the Sea, and the Flooding of Jinshan Temple, organically blending dialects from Baoji, Wuhan, Tangshan, Henan, and Sichuan, resulting in numerous humorous moments.

In February 2014, the "Full of Knowledge" series of crosstalk performances will be featured on CCTV's Lantern Festival Gala.

The comedy routine "Full of Learning" became an overnight sensation after its performance on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in Beijing. Netizens praised it, saying, "Not a single joke about it appeared on Weibo. This is truly a testament to the integrity of the industry." Some even said, "If this comedy routine were performed on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, it would be enough to save Feng Xiaogang." This demonstrates just how satisfied netizens were with the performance.

Chen Yu also really enjoys this crosstalk show; his jokes are spot on, one after another.

The only flaw that Chen Yu felt was that Wang Sheng spoke a little too fast. If he had slowed down even a little bit at that point, the effect might have been better.

"Give me thirty minutes, I'll quickly memorize the words!" Huang Lei nodded, then said to Chen Yu.

"Is thirty minutes enough?!" Chen Yu asked doubtfully. This time was too short, and there was a lot of information to remember.

"Don't worry, I should be able to do it. We'll have our first teamwork test in thirty minutes!" Huang Lei gave him a reassuring look and said softly.

"Alright, we'll continue in thirty minutes!" Chen Yu nodded.

Huang Lei was reading the script very seriously, while Chen Yu went to the hotel restaurant to get something to eat. Chen Yu felt that it was better to eat in the restaurant, as eating in the room just didn't feel quite right.

Chen Yu had only been sitting down for less than two minutes when his phone rang.

"Hey, baby~" Chen Yu said in a sickeningly sweet voice. Wang Yali felt very happy hearing this.

"Shutting yourself so sweetly?! Where are you?!" Wang Yali whispered.

"I'm eating at the restaurant downstairs! I'm a little hungry!"

"Stop eating, I brought you some delicious food! Also, Mengmeng and the others are here, come back now!"

"Okay, sure!" Chen Yu nodded without hesitation.

He then hung up the phone and glanced at the food on his plate.

I've only eaten a little; it would be such a waste to throw some away.

"Waiter, please pack these up and bring them to this room!" Chen Yu called out to the waiter.

"Okay, sir!" The waiter didn't recognize Chen Yu, but thought he was just an ordinary customer.

When it approached Chen Yu and spotted him, its eyes widened, and it was about to shout out excitedly. Chen Yu quickly gestured for it to be quiet.

The other person immediately covered their mouth!

However, the trembling of her body and the flushing of her face showed just how excited the girl was.

"Don't get excited, just act like a regular guest, thank you!" Chen Yu said softly.

"Um, Your Highness, can we take a picture together?!" the waitress asked nervously.

"It's not appropriate here. How about this, you come over when you deliver the food, and we can take a picture together then. If you mind, I can reward you with a picture with SHE!" Chen Yu said with a hint of playfulness.

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind, how could I mind! When will that be sent up?!" The girl was so excited she could hardly contain herself.

"Pack it up and bring it up. My girlfriend and SHE are coming to see me. I'm going up now. Don't tell anyone they've seen me!" Chen Yu said with a light laugh.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, I will!" the girl nodded vigorously.

"Thanks~ See you later?!"

"See you later?!" the girl said, looking a little bewildered.
