Chapter 1406: A huge success!
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
The livestreaming channel had reached 50 million concurrent viewers!
At the venue.
Zhang Ye said, “But actually, none of that worked.”
Yao Jiancai said, “That’s right, so why did you even have to get a master?”
“An actor still has to depend on their true skills.”
“That’s correct.”
“So I went to get plastic surgery.”
“Ah? So that was what you meant when you said ‘true skills’?”
Ning Lan giggled, “Pfft!”
Xiaodong laughed, “Hahahaha!”
Chen Guang and Fan Wenli were both laughing hard!
Zhang Ye said, “Yeah!”
Yao Jiancai said, “Oh.”
“I had to make a trip to Korea.”
“Yeah, the plastic surgery industry there is really quite advanced.”
Everyone sat up in rapt attention!
Here it comes!
They’re finally touching on the topic of Korea!
Zhang Ye said, “I bought a plane ticket and boarded the flight. When I got seated in the plane, heh, who do you think I saw? It turned out that a Korean celebrity was sitting next to me!”
Yao Jiancai asked, “Who was it?”
“It was a Korean big shot, the famous Asian singer, Teacher Piao Yisheng!”
Yao Jiancai exclaimed out loud, ” Piao Yisheng 1 ? His kidneys must be really strong then.”
The audience burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha!”
“Aiyo!”
“Ahahahahaha!”
“Philander for a lifetime? Pfft!”
Park Jaesang was nearby, holding a concert across the way!
A famous Korean singer? Whose surname was also Park? The audience could not help but think of that person and immediately became very excited!
Zhang Ye said, “I don’t know if his kidneys are strong or not, but in any case, I was extremely puzzled. I asked him, ‘Teacher Piao, with your status as a big shot, why are you sitting in economy class?’ Teacher Piao told me that their country’s economy wasn’t doing too well recently, so he had to come to China to find work.”
Yao Jiancai sighed. “True that. He thinks that it’s easy to earn money in China.”
“Yi!”
“Yi!”
“Yi!”
The audience was hooting and laughing!
Why did they come to China?
To make a quick buck?
The gag about the expensive tickets had already made its appearance through this joke segment!
Zhang Ye’s crosstalk was really full of scolding!
Zhang Ye said, “When the plane took off, I started feeling really terrible. It was so nauseating.”
Yao Jiancai replied, “Yo, don’t tell me you have airsickness?”
“Yeah. With all that trembling in the plane, I got really nauseated, yet I could not find a place to vomit. When I saw that Teacher Piao had fallen asleep with his eye mask on, I didn’t hesitate and vomited all over his chest!”
“Whoa, that’s so disgusting.”
Zhang Xia and her daughter couldn’t help laughing out loud!
Li Xiaoxian, who was wearing sunglasses and sitting in a corner, was also laughing like crazy.
He was so bad!
Zhang Ye was so bad to the bone that no one could compare to him!
Zhang Ye said, “He didn’t move, and neither did I. Soon after, the plane landed safely on the ground. That’s when he woke up and I hurriedly asked him, ‘Are you feeling better?'”
Yao Jiancai exclaimed, “Heyo!”
“Do you still feel terrible?”
“Could you be any more wicked than that?”
The audience was laughing so hard they couldn’t breathe!
“Hahahahaha!”
“Hahahahaha!”
Zhang Ye said, “Hai, please take care of your health. Goodbye.”
Yao Jiancai said, “You’re too immoral. He could end up taking the wrong medication because of this!”
“Hahahahaha!”
“Aiyo, I’m dying of laughter!”
“I can’t take it anymore, I really can’t take it anymore!”
Many in the audience were slapping their thighs in laughter!
Zhang Ye continued, “I was still thinking as I got off the plane. Don’t you find it really strange? Every country has got its own unique crafts. In the field of plastic surgery, only the Koreans are able to do it so well.”
Yao Jiancai asked, “Right, why is that so?”
Zhang Ye gave it some thought. “It’s probably because they’re ugly (hánchěn).”
“Ah?”
“Why else are they called Korea ( Hánguó 2 )?”
“So being called Korea would mean that they’re a nation of uglies?”
“An ugly country.”
“Whoa, if you put it that way, there’s no way to explain Japan 3 !”
Ning Lan laughed. “Hahahaha!”
Amy was sprawled out from laughing!
Zhang Ye tugged at Yao Jiancai. “Hahaha, then you better try and explain it to me!”
Yao Jiancai pushed him aside. “Get lost! Why do I have to explain it!”
The audience was laughing like crazy!
Too cruel!
It was too wicked!
There was really no one else who could scold in such a way!
Japan and Korea had both been brought into the subject!
Countless audience members could feel themselves overwhelmed by that long-awaited rush of emotions!
How long had it been?
How long had they not heard Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai talking onstage without restraint? They would probably have to go all the way back to the time when Central TV had organized that crosstalk competition to be reminded of such a scene! The show was livestreamed over the Internet today, so the rules were much more relaxed than usual. Unlike being on television where they would be bound by certain guidelines, Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai immediately slipped into form and put on an exceedingly good performance!
It was so exhilarating!
It was still the same feeling!
It was exactly the kind of crosstalk that they used to give!
Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai were still as good as ever!
…
The first act ended.
The second act was by two young crosstalk comedians.
The third act was by two crosstalk veterans.
When they put on not too bad performances, the audience was very supportive of them. If it was great, the applause kept going without stop.
Of course, the crosstalk comedians who came to help out at Zhang Ye’s show also understood that the audience was only so supportive of them because of Zhang Ye. On today’s stage, Zhang Ye was the main lead. Other than him, there was no one in the crosstalk world who could put on such a large-scale crosstalk at a venue like the Beijing Exhibition Center!
For the fourth act, Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai returned.
The fifth act was left to another two young crosstalk comedians.
The sixth act saw Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai come back to stage once more.
With their appearance for this act, they never left the stage for the rest of the night.
The joke segments were continuously dropped!
Insults were continuously thrown out!
The audience went crazy!
“Another one!”
“Another one!”
“Don’t stop!”
“Tell us another one!”
The performance went on from 7 PM to 8 PM, then from 8 PM to 9 PM. According to the performance duration that was submitted to the authorities for approval, it should have ended by 9 PM. But the audience was unwilling to leave!
Zhang Ye could only give a wry smile.
Yao Jiancai was also feeling helpless.
What else could they do?
They could only continue with the show!
The two of them kept coming back for round after round of encores!
One time!
Five times!
Ten times!
Fifteen times!
The moment they tried to leave the stage, the audience would go into an uproar. Then Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai would get invited back to continue performing before trying to leave again and then get invited back again. This kept repeating! At the end, Ning Lan also joined in the fun and sportingly took to the stage. She did a short crosstalk with Zhang Ye to satisfy her crosstalk cravings. Xiaodong and Amy were also pulled onto the stage at the insistence of Zhang Ye. He acted as their fall guy as they put in a short performance, with the script prepared for them beforehand. There were plans for Li Xiaoxian, Chen Guang, and Fan Wenli to do the same, but because they were too easily embarrassed, they refused to go onstage.
The building could not be any more boisterous.
Poking fun at celebrities.
Scolding the Japanese and Koreans.
Teasing the audience.
It was very easy for Zhang Ye with that mouth of his.
The laughter from the audience had not stopped ever since the show began!
“Hahahahaha!”
“I can’t take it anymore!”
“That was so damn funny!”
“This joker!”
“He’s too wicked!”
A crosstalk that was supposed to end at 9 PM had been dragged all the way until 10:30 PM!
They returned for an encore a total of 17 times!
It was a record number of encores not seen in the crosstalk world before!
It was an encore number that had never happened in the history of crosstalk before!
Finally, Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai’s first crosstalk show could be deemed a huge success, and the audience’s mood was also brought to the highest!
