The Show Begins

Chapter 97: Is she hiding in the crowd?

Views:

Life is not a fairy tale, and the prince and princess may not appear at the most critical moment.

Lai Yang had now accepted the fact that Tian Jing was absent. He lowered his head and sent a WeChat message to Tian Jing, saying that he was on stage. Then he stood up, stretched his arms, and walked towards the stage.

As soon as I stepped onto the stage, nearly a thousand pairs of eyes and faces looked at me at the same time.

Lai Yang's thighs trembled involuntarily. He walked from the backstage to the center of the stage. It was extremely difficult for him to walk the short distance of more than ten meters. In the end, he even jogged to the center of the stage.

After standing still, Lai Yang picked up the microphone and looked around.

The stage spotlights were very backlit, so he could basically not see the expressions of the audience and could only get feedback through hearing.

At this moment, nearly a thousand people were gathering in front of Lai Yang, like a towering mountain, which was indeed depressing.

Many of them are unfamiliar with Laiyang, so there was no applause.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lai Yang. I would like to ask if anyone in the audience knows me? If you do, please applaud."

After he finished speaking, a few people applauded, but seeing that most of the audience didn't react, the applause disappeared in an instant like a small wave.

Lai Yang spread his hands and said, "Hey, it seems that I am really not famous, right? How about this, those who don't know me come and applaud and see."

As a result, there was still no reaction from the audience, which made many people want to laugh.

Lai Yang wiped his face heavily: "Oh, a special show for the deaf and mute, right?"

Wow~

A lot of laughter came in response.

"Oh, don't be nervous, everyone. Although tonight is the first talk show in Shanghai, or even in China, with a thousand people, the scene is grand and magnificent, but we are the ones performing..."

Laiyang paused, and this little joke became popular again, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"So everyone should keep calm. Don't be fooled by the current excitement. Before this, talk show hosts were miserable because they didn't make money. I even wrote online articles part-time."

Lai Yang held the microphone in one hand and pinched the tip of his nose with the other hand and said, "There are people who like to read online novels, right? Online novels are all about having fun, but I don't understand."

"At the time, I wrote that the hero's house was demolished, and the excavator was at the door of the house. The hero's sister arrived in time to protect the hero. After reading it, my editor said that this writing was not good. In the end, he helped me change it to the hero's sister driving a Ferrari and crashing directly into the excavator on the opposite side. Afterwards, he asked me if it was good?"

Lai Yang spread his hands and showed an extremely shocked expression.

"I say... is this cool? Shouldn't this be called stupid? You drive a Ferrari into an excavator, the Ferrari is scrapped and the excavator will at most lose a layer of paint. Is his sister rushing here to die?"

There were sparse laughter from the audience, and Lai Yang licked his tongue and smiled slightly.

"My editor was very angry. He said, 'Don't worry about it. This is called a cool article. Just write it like this!' I had no choice but to write according to his requirements. After reading it, he said that I was a fool!"

"Hahaha… "

Everyone backstage gathered together to listen. Qianying was not present during the rehearsal, so she asked behind Yuan Shengda whether it was true or not.

After seeing Yuan Shengda nod, she asked why he didn’t write later

As soon as I asked this, Lai Yang spoke it out on the stage.

"Later, I stopped writing because my editor didn't allow me to do it. In order to be lazy and earn royalties, I used the voice-to-text method to write, and then replaced some specific names of people and places with numbers, and then replaced them with a single click. Later, I asked my childhood friend to do this job, and my editor told me not to write anymore."

Yuan Shengda curled his lips and smiled at the curtain, thinking of the past scene.

"I asked the editor what was wrong, not understanding it. The editor said, come... let me read you a passage you wrote yesterday. It was over a mass grave in Donghai City, with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Then there was a click, and the ground cracked open. Then a very ferocious 666 came out... Are you kidding me?"

This meme exploded.

The actors backstage also burst into laughter. Lai Yang looked backstage and said, "Thank you, my childhood friend. You can't even do this job of replacing with one button carefully!"

After the explosion, Laiyang was stable no matter what.

Many of the audience members who came this time were actually experiencing talk show for the first time, which might have exceeded their expectations. Lai Yang saw the audience start scanning the QR code on the side to follow the theater.

Lai Yang's pace became faster. After finishing the joke, Li Dian hadn't turned on the light yet. He could only kill time by interacting with others. He asked a female audience member in the first row where she was from.

After hearing the other party say Shanghai, Lai Yang said "oh" and said after thinking for a few seconds.

"I found Shanghai girls to be very shy and pretty, but I think sometimes you can't be too shy."

"For example, I once took a girl from Shanghai on the highway. She wanted to go to the bathroom, but she didn't say anything and just held it in. If you were to take another girl in this situation, she would definitely ask me where the service area was because she wanted to go to the bathroom."

Lai Yang paused: "But she didn't. She couldn't help asking me where the service area was. She said she wanted to touch up her makeup."

“Hahaha~”

"I'm wondering, you put on makeup on the highway? Is this a hint of something? In order to make the atmosphere more ambiguous, I also played a song, "High Mountains and Flowing Water~"

"When the sound of running water sounded in the car, I suddenly smelled a sour smell... I looked at her expressionless face and asked her if she smelled any strange smell. She blushed and said it was her perfume, the scent of white magnolia."

"Hey, lady in the front row, I smell the scent of gardenia on you. The toilet is over there..."

Amidst the gasps and laughter, Li Dian finally flicked the light. As soon as Lai Yang came off the stage, Yuan Shengda and the others came up to him and asked if it was Tian Jing he had just talked about.

Seeing Lai Yang smile, Yuan Shengda opened his mouth slightly: "You insult her like this, aren't you afraid that she will beat you to death?"

"What are you afraid of? She didn't come."

The two of them exchanged a few quick words before rushing to the next impromptu performance.

This performance was a multi-person show, and Lai Yang would also be on stage, so he immediately adjusted his breathing and listened to Li Dian hosting the show outside.

"The next performance is an improvisation. We have a semi-finished script and need your cooperation. Provide us with ten popular Internet memes. They must be one sentence long. Then we will combine them into a new script for the performance. How about this, everyone in this vertical row can provide some."

Li Dian then pointed to a row on the stage, and the venue staff handed them pens and notes.

At the same time, Li Dian invited improvisational comedians to perform.

Nearly ten people came up this time, including Lai Yang, Aru, Song Wen and others.

A minute later, the note was collected. Li Dian held the microphone in his hand and said, "Okay, let me read to you what it says so that you can remember it."

"The first sentence is... Am I ugly? Then I'll leave? The second sentence is... I advise you to be kind, the third sentence is, you are noble, you are amazing... The fourth sentence is, I don't believe you, you old man are very bad..."

Lai Yang was also reacting to these sentences quickly in his mind, thinking about how to respond later.

After Li Dian read a few more, he suddenly paused and said while holding a piece of paper.

"Ninth sentence, this... isn't really an internet meme, I want to kill you with a crystal ball..."

Suddenly, Lai Yang's brain buzzed...
