Chapter 6: Helpless Appearance

Entering the lounge, Zhou Xiao's face was not relaxed at all, he had come to the theater since the morning, and he still had the most important thing to solve, that is, what if he played later!

What I remember on the hard drive in my mind is basically Japanese drama concert songs, and there is nothing that can be handled, and what really belongs to his memory, although there are also some cross talks about Guo Degang, but there are still some differences between cross talk and Japanese mancai, the biggest difference is that the rhythm of cross talk is relatively slow and mancai is relatively fast, Guo Degang's cross talk often has countless returns for more than forty minutes, And most of the comics on TV will end a large line in five minutes with one or two people like a kitchen knife chopping meat, with a fast rhythm.

What's more, Guo Degang's cross talk was performed by two people, and Zhou Xiao is only one person now.

Maybe give him a day or two, Zhou Xiao can really transform Guo Degang or some other joke into a solo comicman, but now that the afternoon performance is less than an hour away, it is a bit unrealistic to want to do this kind of thing.

What to do? In the next dozens of minutes, Zhou Xiao's mind was basically filled with this question.

Moreover, every time at this time, time flies very quickly, and Zhou Xiao hid in the corner of the lounge feeling that after a while, a staff member came to inform him that the performance was about to start.

Zhou Xiao, who had no choice, had no choice but to walk out of the lounge.

"If you really can't do it, just use those old jokes to fool the past, and after this performance, I'll make it clear to Uncle Inoue and then do something else." Zhou Xiao thought.

There are a total of five groups of artists in the performance of funny artists, except for Zhou Xiao and Sakaguchi, the other three groups are all combined comics, and in the order of appearance, the first three groups appear first, and then Zhou Xiao, zuihou Sakaguchi finale.

Zhou Xiao came to the backstage, and through the curtain, he saw that the audience in the theater was almost seated at the moment, and the attendance rate was about 80%, which was a good attendance rate.

"Zhou Xiao, come on." While he was hiding behind the curtain and peeking, someone slapped him from behind.

Looking back, Zhou Xiao found that the person who filmed him was Uncle Inoue.

Zhou Xiao...... You see...... Wait a while, can you change the order of your performance with Sakaguchi? Inoue said.

"Change the order?" The current order is that Zhou Xiao will appear first and then Sakaguchi, and Sakaguchi's meaning seems to be that he wants to perform before Zhou Xiao.

"Weishenme wants to change the order?" This order was decided very early, Zhou Xiao asked curiously.

"Isn't that his popularity good lately...... And your recent situation is not good, so ......" Inoue stopped talking.

Hearing Uncle Inoue say this, Zhou Xiao nodded a little abruptly, so that's the case.

As I said before, Sakaguchi's recent situation is good, ten years of accumulation and the recent TV show have made a lot more viewers who have come to see Sakakou recently, but Zhou Xiao's recent situation is not very good, after the fledgling freshness has passed, many of his jokes The audience watched and listened to a little boring, but the predecessor Zhou Xiao's creative ability was not very good, and the first jokes were actually accumulated over the years before there was such a small outbreak, so to speak, If the predecessor Zhou Xiao faced Sakaguchi ten years ago, he might still have a chance of winning, but now the young Zhou Xiao has been against Sakaguchi, who has debuted for ten years, and he can only be suppressed by Sakaguchi.

And if the order of appearance of the two people is adjusted, it will definitely be bad news for Zhou Xiao. Originally, his funny strength was not enough, and he had to appear after Sakaguchi, who was in good condition, and he had to do the finale performance among the five groups of artists, which was very stressful and demanding for him, not to mention Zhou Xiao, who doesn't know much about these now, even if it is the predecessor Zhou Xiao, there is a great chance of messing up everything.

"I can't help it...... Who let him know the person in charge here, my manager said that it was a manager, but in fact, it was no different from a miscellaneous person, almost completely speechless, and he was now half the pillar of the theater, and he couldn't ignore his words......" Uncle Inoue explained to Zhou Xiao with some shame.

"It's okay, just change it!" Zhou Xiao didn't think much about it and said so.

"Huh? No problem? Inoue asked.

"No problem, it's just a matter of priority!" Zhou Xiao comforted, of course, what he thought in his heart was: "Anyway, I don't have much interest in being a funny artist, this zuihou once performs, the finale will be the finale." ”

When the two of them were talking, the first group of mancai groups had already stepped onto the stage, this was a group of one fat and one thin combination, Zhou Xiao watched it for a few minutes, the jokes of the two people basically revolved around the fat man's body shape, and the explosion point of mancai came from the ugliness of the thin man, and the fat man's occasional counter-kill was still quite funny.

Watching the performances of these two people, Zhou Xiao felt that he had also gained a lot of lessons and experience, although he no longer wanted to be a funny artist, but these experiences must be useful no matter where they are placed.

The performance time of the first three groups of funny artists passed quickly, and after the performance of these three groups, the theater entered a short break, and the only artists left to appear were Sakaguchi and Zhou Xiao.

In Japan, mancai jokes are usually limited to about three to seven minutes, but in this kind of small theater, there are very few artists who only perform one joke when they appear on the stage.

The reason is very simple, when you are on TV, the TV station may not give you much time, because there are many people waiting to be on TV, and there is no shortage of you on camera. But when the theater is small, the theater doesn't have so much money to invite artists, and when the artists have less time and more time, the corresponding group of artists has more time to appear. However, more appearance time does not mean that the joke is longer, and the vast majority of artists will still perform three to five jokes in about 20 minutes of appearance.

After the performance of the three groups of artists, the two-hour performance time has already passed for more than an hour, and the audience is always strict with the performers who appear behind, no way, who let them sit for more than an hour when they see this time.

During the intermission, Sakaguchi also came backstage again.

Sakaguchi, who walked to the backstage, first glanced at Zhou Xiao with great disdain: "Hmph! I'll learn a little bit when I come on the stage later, so I can show you what a funny artist is, but I guess you won't learn anything even if you watch it! ”

Sakaguchi's provocation didn't play any role for Zhou Xiao at this time, he turned his head and looked away, as if he didn't care about Sakaguchi's appearance at all.

However, when Sakaguchi came on the stage, Zhou Xiao did not go to watch the show angrily, he stared at Sakaguchi tightly, as if he wanted to learn all his experience.

Sakaguchi's solo joke is quite a bit of stand-up comedy, because it has a rather funny appearance, so Sakaguchi's most common funny is to use his face that seems to have stayed up late for several days in a row and the half-new suit on his body to perform an office worker who is angry at work but is a little bitter. This office worker seemed to be soft-spoken and very kind, looking at Sakaguchi's appearance on the stage, Zhou Xiao thought: "I'm afraid the audience will never know how arrogant and domineering this cautious guy on stage is offstage, right?" ”

In the twenty minutes on the stage, although there was no daxiao that amazed the audience, the audience was obviously very happy to watch, and laughter often came backstage. Don't think that the performance of funny artists in the theater can always make the audience lean back and forth, people who can really do this every time have already become famous, and there is no need to waste their lives in this kind of small theater, and the jokes of the artists in the vast majority of small theaters will not cause too much laughter.

And such laughter is enough and can be called a success.

When Sakaguchi finished his performance and walked off the stage with a domineering expression, Zhou Xiao was also ready to appear.

At this time, he had no other way, just perform the jokes in his memory.

PS, thank you Kunsha for your first prize. At the same time, I would also like to thank Mengchu for his reward.
