When thick smoke floated up from between Li Dian's fingers, his whole face fell into a state of dullness.
Lai Yang has known Li Dian for a long time and has never seen him with this expression.
This made him feel uneasy.
"Laiyang, let me tell you something. You should... be mentally prepared."
"Uh... then let me light one first."
Lai Yang pulled out a stool and sat down. He tried to light the fire a few times but couldn't.
When Li Dian, who was standing by, saw this scene, his expression became even more profound.
"Laiyang, my mother is coming to Shanghai tonight, and she asked me to take back the 100,000 yuan that I invested in the theater!"
Bang!
The flame suddenly shot out, but Lai Yang's hand, which was lighting the cigarette, froze.
After a few seconds, he looked up at Li Dian. Li Dian's face was pale and his expression was lost.
"At that time, I was taking money from my family, but now she comes here specifically to ask for it, and... our relationship is not good."
"So you... you, what do you think?"
Laiyang's sunny mood today was suddenly obscured by the haze.
Given the current situation of the theater, where can we get 100,000 yuan to withdraw
As a result, the foundation of the theater was shaken.
But Lai Yang couldn't say this openly. After taking a few puffs of cigarette, he looked at Li Dian.
"You know the situation of our theater, why don't you discuss it with Auntie?"
The long cigarette ash fell from Li Dian's hand. He pinched the cigarette butt that was about to burn out, took a puff, and nodded.
"I won't be performing tonight. You can host it. I'll go talk to her."
After saying this, the two fell into silence.
Based on Lai Yang's understanding of Li Dian, he is a very thoughtful, smart and good at analyzing problems.
Otherwise, how could I call him Military Advisor Li
But even so, when he mentioned talking to his mother, his face was like a thick fog that could not be melted away.
Lai Yang also felt very uneasy about this.
This depressed state continued until the evening performance.
Due to the influence of the comedy, the audience for the evening performance was not large, with only about thirty or so spectators.
Qianying also came and sat in the middle. She even made a heart shape with her hands when Laiyang came on stage.
But Tianjing didn't come. She will go back to work tomorrow and should be very busy recently.
Lai Yang had something on his mind, so he wasn't that passionate about telling jokes. He just memorized the old jokes one by one.
Suddenly, the sound of a couple in the front row whispering came
Come.
"Hey, I've heard this story somewhere else. It's probably plagiarized."
Lai Yang was stunned by these words, and the other party immediately stopped whispering, but looked at him strangely.
The audience on stage suddenly became silent, and Qianying in the audience didn't know why.
Backstage, Yuan Shengda, Alu and others came out suspiciously and looked at Lai Yang who had stopped abruptly.
Yuan Shengda also used his finger to draw a big question mark in the air
"Ahem... I just thought of something else. Sorry everyone, I've been... a bit upset lately because my jokes were plagiarized by someone."
Yuan Shengda looked at each other in surprise.
Is Lai Yang improvising
Live comedy with vomiting
Although talk show is called talk show, in fact every joke has to be polished countless times.
Each actor takes the stage and may only speak for about ten minutes.
But just for these ten minutes, you need to practice at least one month, or even longer, at an open mic before you can use it for commercial performances.
This is why Tudou comedy would rather have a conflict with Laiyang than not tell the jokes it copied back.
Everyone couldn't help but sweat!
"Someone asked me how I felt when my jokes were copied. Uh... I felt like the gods in Journey to the West, who woke up to find their diamond bracelets and other things were stolen. But I was more distressed than the gods, because at least it was their own mount that stole it."
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
"Right, you said we are not familiar with each other, it is not appropriate for you to steal my jokes, of course someone else said, it is just a joke, it doesn't matter if you steal it, we all plagiarize each other. Oh ~ No, it is different, you take my jokes and tell them, it is totally out of place, do you know what it feels like to be out of place?"
Lai Yang looked at the audience. The atmosphere was more relaxed than before.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lai Yang, waiting for his answer.
"Everyone has read Journey to the West. In that story, when Tang Monk used to ask for a place to stay, he would definitely say, 'Hello, benefactor. I came from the Tang Dynasty in the East. I am going to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. I am passing by here and would like to stay for one night.' Is that right? What if we change it to Tang Monk knocking on the door and putting his hand on the owner's shoulder?"
Lai Yang blinked and said, "Hey, old man! There are four of us tonight, you decide how to arrange it."
"Puchi~hahaha..."
This meme exploded instantly.
"Brother Yang is very talented." Alu looked at the table and muttered
.
"Of course he does. I feel like he always kept it a secret in the past~ hehe~" Song Wen also gave a sly smile.
When Yuan Shengda was about to say something, he suddenly looked towards the door. After his expression froze for a few seconds, he hunched over and walked over.
"Right, do you feel out of place?"
Lai Yang was in good shape on the stage. He continued to hold the microphone and spoke while imitating.
"Sun Wukong went to rescue people. He stood at the entrance of the monster's cave and shouted, 'Come out! Call out the leader of your group.'"
Qianying giggled, rubbed her eyes, and took out her phone to record a video.
"Every actor has his own catchphrases, which are his unique signature and cannot be copied by others. Otherwise, it will look weird. It's like one day, Li Tianwang, the pagoda-bearing king, wakes up and finds out, 'Oh my god!' The pagoda has been stolen!"
The audience laughed so hard that they fell on their backs. Lai Yang rubbed his eyes and shouted, imitating Li Tianwang who had just woken up from sleep.
"what to do?!"
Lai Yang stroked his chin and put on a thoughtful look: "That won't work... Should I steal someone else's? Hey, I saw Mo Li Hai's (one of the Four Heavenly Kings) pipa a while ago and it was pretty good. Should I steal it back?"
The whole audience burst into laughter, and Lai Yang straightened up.
"Then Mo Lihai is exactly the same as how I feel now. Haha, you said you wanted to steal it, so just steal it. We did it quietly, right? And you even held your hands up, as if you were afraid that I wouldn't see it, right?"
This call back made the audience applaud wildly!
"I went to argue with the plagiarist and told him to stop plagiarizing. He asked me, 'Have you registered the copyright?' It doesn't seem so unreasonable."
“But if we take it back to Journey to the West, imagine that after the meeting in Heaven is over, Mo Lihai approaches Tuo Pi Pa Tian with a smile and offers him a cigarette first.”
Lai Yang imitated the act of bowing and lowering his waist while smoking, and the audience burst into applause.
"Come on, King of Heaven, Yan, hey~ that pipa of ours, it's mine."
"your?"
Lai Yang imitated Li Tianwang in a second and said seriously, "If you call it, will it respond?"
It’s a blast!
There was a burst of applause.
Even the two audience members in the front row who murmured at the beginning were laughing and applauding.
Lai Yang was also happy, and when he was about to continue, he suddenly found that Tian Jing had come in at some point, and was leaning against the wall and chatting with Yuan Shengda.
Can the two of them still chat
It's really... out of place!
