“…… On his chest, a whole row of buttons is tied!! ”

The theater is quiet.

In other cases, it would be very gratifying for the audience to watch the actors on stage perform quietly. But as a comedy artist, especially when the comedy artist's performance time has passed more than half of the time, there is no laughter in the venue or even quieter, the situation is ...... It's a little embarrassing.

Zhou Xiao stood on the stage in a half-new suit, and the lights above his head shone brightly and scorched him, but for Zhou Xiao, the eyes from the audience in front of him obviously made him more uncomfortable.

From his appearance to the present, he has performed three jokes, and the result of these three jokes is...... Didn't cause even a single laugh!

The two sides of the stage are connected to the backstage, and many artists and staff who have performed before are also nervously watching Zhou Xiao's performance. Among these people, some people watched the show with fear and nervousness, such as Uncle Inoue. Seeing that Zhou Xiao played very poorly and was cold on stage, Inoue was very disappointed.

Zhou Xiao's ability to perform in this small theater is mainly because of Uncle Inoue's decision, no one will think that Zhou Xiao can become a great star, but Inoue feels that such a child wants to be an artist at a young age, so as long as he works hard enough and is serious, it is worth affirming.

In the first period of time, Zhou Xiao brought a lot of surprise to Inoue, because the child was not very young and full of vitality, and the effect of several accumulated jokes was also very good, and, perhaps because of age, most of Zhou Xiao's jokes were relatively modern and trendy, mobile phones, the Internet, and ironclad campus content, so Zhou Xiao won the love of many audiences, especially young audiences, in a short period of time.

But soon, Zhou Xiao ran into trouble. The conflict with Sakaguchi is just a fuse, the reason why he really fell silent is that in the end he is just a young man who has just 18 years old, and such a newcomer will naturally encounter some difficulties after entering a circle and running out of his inventory, and this kind of wall blocking newcomers is not only in the entertainment industry, but also in the sports circle, cultural circle, etc.

Originally, Inoue was not in a hurry, a funny artist is a profession that can be done well for many years, and it is also a profession that needs to be accumulated very much, 90% of the first ten years of funny artists' artistic calendar, the theme will be accumulation and learning, under normal circumstances, a funny artist will not have a more stable income until he is 30 years old.

Of course, don't look at the fact that there is no threshold in this industry, but the elimination rate is also very high, the so-called income is relatively stable ten years after debut, and there is an unspoken premise that you must still stay in the entertainment industry after ten years, and more funny artists have already changed careers to do something else after ten years.

What really made Inoue nervous about Zhou Xiao was actually Sakaguchi, who was sneering beside him at the moment and watching Zhou Xiao's performance. Don't look at yourself as the manager of this theater, but Inoue is actually just a part-time worker, and compared with Sakaguchi, a relative of the theater owner, his importance is probably far less than him, so Inoue has nothing to do about Sakaguchi's suppression of Zhou Xiao, he can only try to help Zhou Xiao and enlighten Zhou Xiao.

has been in this industry for so many years, and Inoue knows very well what the suppression of a senior means, which means that as long as the senior wants to, he can bully the juniors at will, and even make it difficult for the juniors to find a job.

If this junior is talented and popular, it's okay, but if this junior is just a normal person, he is likely to be suppressed by his predecessors and difficult to turn over, and Zuihou can only leave this circle gloomily.

Unfortunately, in Inoue's eyes, Zhou Xiao is such a child with little talent.

Zhou Xiao's performance today proves this even more, his jokes, Inoue is very familiar with them, when he performed in the past, although the effect was not very good, but at least Zhou Xiao at that time could still master the time, even if the effect was not good, at least use these jokes to last 20 minutes, and it is okay to get 5,000 yuan.

But today is not the case, Zhou Xiao can't even grasp the time that can be well controlled in the past, the preface of these paragraphs does not match the afterword, and there are many lines that I forgot to say, which directly led to the failure of mastering time!

Inoue looked at his watch nervously, more than ten minutes had passed since Zhou Xiao's performance, but he was about to use up all his jokes, and in the next few minutes, if he didn't have other jokes, could he just stand on the stage in a daze? In that case, it is simply the most embarrassing thing in the world.

"Fujiwara! If he can't remember, you go up and replace him!" You've got a spare joke, right!? When Zhou Xiao's joke entered Zuihou one, Inoue finally saw the essence of Zhou Xiao's absence today, and hurriedly pulled another comedian on the side.

In special circumstances, it is actually normal to replace a person, and as long as he is an artist who has debuted for a while, it is usually impossible for him to have only one joke in his mind, so the other comedian who was named by Inoue was not too surprised, he nodded and was ready to go on stage to replace Zhou Xiao.

But then, a voice stopped him.

"Don't change! That's what he's working on! At this time, if he changes someone else's words, I am afraid that he will have a sense of dependence in his heart! When the time comes, you won't be able to really grow! Sakaguchi reached out and stopped Inoue and Fujiwara.

This kind of words sounded righteous and awe-inspiring, if it weren't for the fact that everyone present knew Sakaguchi's face, maybe he might have been deceived by him.

"Sakaguchi, you're a little too much! Will this allow him to grow? He is still a newcomer, and what he needs most is confidence! If you don't replace him, he may even be afraid of going on stage! When the time comes, a new star will be destroyed in your hands and mine! Inoue was also a little angry, and he said to Sakaguchi sharply.

"Am I excessive!? I'm doing it for his good! In short, he won't be allowed to come down until he has played for 20 minutes! No one is allowed to go without my permission! Sakaguchi stopped in front of everyone and said.

"You're ......!" Inoue was almost angry, but when he turned his head to look at Fujiwara beside him, it felt like a basin of cold water had been poured down.

Fujiwara, who had already promised to play, flinched in the face of Sakaguchi's blocking! There is no way, Sakaguchi's current status is enough to say nothing in the theater, and Fujiwara has no way to refute Sakaguchi.

Looking at Fujiwara's face, Inoue could easily read the meaning of his expression: "It's not worth offending Sakaguchi for Zhou Xiao, I don't want to lose my job because of Zhou Xiao alone." ”

What to do? Looking at Zhou Xiao, whose face became more and more pale on the stage, and who was becoming more and more hesitant to speak, Inoue's heart was cold.

And beside him, Sakaguchi looked at Zhou Xiao on the stage and secretly smiled in his heart: "Hmph, to this point, you have lost such a big person, see if you will have the face to continue to stand on the stage in the future!" ”

Halfway through the performance, sweat began to flow down Zhou Xiao's face, the sweat on his face was fine, and Zhou Xiao's back was already wet with his shirt in the suit.

"What should I do now, time ...... There's so much left! After performing a joke, Zhou Xiao's heart was cold.

The theater was very quiet before, and the audience was listening to Zhou Xiao alone talking about the somewhat cold jokes, at that time, whenever Zhou Xiao performed some laughs and felt that the audience should laugh, Zhou Xiao would always pause. But what awaits his pause is always very penetrating quiet. At that time, Zhou Xiao felt that nothing would be more embarrassing than this quietness.

As a result, now, when he stopped, he realized that the current scene was much more embarrassing than the previous one-man show!

Because there are obviously a lot of people in the whole theater, but everyone is staring at it! Nothing to talk to!

Zhou Xiao nervously turned his head to look backstage on the side, where he saw the picture that made him even more cold, Sakaguchi stood in front of everyone, looking at him with a smile on his face that made Zhou Xiao clearer!

"Now it's up to you to get off the stage!"

"It seems that the future appearances will be adjusted, after a performance, it should be up to the audience to judge who is good and who is bad, and when the time comes, the person who performs the most will get the most money, and the worst person will not get the money, otherwise it will be the case now, and some people's salary thieves will do it too comfortably!" Sakaguchi said to Inoue.
