After entering, I felt that the air conditioning in the circus tent was very sufficient, and there was a feeling of cold air.

There was no one in the seats yet, but there were trapeze artists in rehearsals.

A fat man jumped over the fence from the stage and beckoned to me, "You're Luqiao, aren't you?" I am the class leader, and I am the person in charge. ”

I nodded my head and said, "I am." ”

"My surname is Pang, and my name is Panghai. You can just call me the sea, do you need me to introduce you to our circus? The sea said.

"Hmm." I said.

"We have a circus of actors from all over the world, from the United States, Russia, Canada. In China, there are actors from Taipei and Guangzhou, and now it is the actors from Taipei who test trapeze. The sea said.

"The show hasn't started yet, so why test now?" I said.

"Well, you may not know this, but the protective nets under this trapeze artist are all brought by themselves. Safety comes first, and they can't trust others. The equipment on it is also built by themselves, and if you don't try it, it's easy to have an accident on stage. So here in the debugging distance and position, you can look at it here first. The sea said.

"Well, is there anything I need help with?" I said.

"Seriously, we're a little tight, and I really want you to see if you can play the clown? The clown is actually not difficult, the role is to come out and interact with the audience between each show. To make time for the actors backstage to prepare for the performance, basically the two clowns will be fine as soon as they sing and harmonize. Generally, after a few attempts, there will be a tacit understanding, how to have an idea? The sea said.

"Today?" I said.

"Forget it today, the first day of the official show. But you can stand in the front row and act as an audience member, so we can let you interact and get a sense of what a clown is like. There were originally two clowns in our group, but unfortunately one of them might not be able to come for a few months. So there is a shortage of people these months, you can try to replace it. Of course, today it is up to me to take his place. The sea said.

"What do you do with the sea?" I said.

"As I just said, I'm the class leader. I called all the people, you should have asked me before, right? I was a whip before I became a circus master, and I was a boy. I'm Cantonese and don't have a Cantonese accent because I travel everywhere. I'm standing alone with a carrot in my mouth. I have a whip that can break the turnip without hurting anyone. The sea said with a smile.

The curtain behind him was lifted, and a beam of light shone into the circus from the outside.

It was a white American man who slowly moved in on crutches.

The sea saw it and pointed and said, "This is the clown who had an accident, and he recently injured his foot." ”

The sea greeted him and said, "Why are you here?" ”

The foreigner said in authentic Chinese: "I'll perform, Jerry can't do it." His Chinese is so bad, I can't play him alone if I don't come. ”

The sea said, "Didn't I say I was playing with him? You can rest assured. And I've got a replacement for you, what do you think of this guy? Half a year later, I believe that the three of them will be on the same stage, do you believe it? ”

When the foreigner saw me, he was stunned and said, "Hello." ”

"Hello, my name is Luqiao." I said.

"Jokers are hard, are you sure you want to try?" The foreigner said.

I nodded my head and said, "Looks like a lot of fun." ”
