Chapter 265 Audition
Chapter 265 Audition
In Chen Yu's words, it's about "better to have none than to have something bad." No matter how good your acting skills are or how prestigious your name is, if your character is flawed, you're still not accepted.
Because you never know when someone might cause trouble for the company.
Gao Feiyan, who works in the technology field, strongly agrees with Chen Yu's statement.
It's often said that the entertainment industry is a cesspool, very chaotic.
But Gao Feiyan didn't care, and neither did Chen Yu.
My company must operate according to my rules.
Liang Siwen also welcomed this principle.
She has seen too many disgusting things in the entertainment industry; some celebrities are simply the worst of the worst.
Disgusting!
For someone like that, signing a contract would be a death sentence.
"Teacher Dandan, Teacher Wang, shall we begin?" After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Yu turned the topic to business. He didn't have the time, mood, or energy to waste on idle chatter.
He needed to finish quickly, as he had other things to do!
The deal in Xuzhou has been finalized, and Chen Yu is going to sign the contract.
This is something that can't be done by anyone else.
"Okay, sure!" Seeing Chen Yu's directness, Teacher Dan Dan was a little surprised but also very happy, since she didn't really like meaningless small talk.
The others nodded in agreement. Led by Chen Yu and the others, they arrived at the rehearsal area where Chen Yu was practicing.
"Please wait a moment, everyone, while we quickly finish the makeup and props!" Chen Yu said politely but firmly.
"it is good!"
Liang Siwen was also very curious about what kind of skit it was.
This was also the first time she had seen Chen Yu perform.
The props are quite simple.
Eight chairs, one wheelchair, a picture of a hospital operating room, two sets of white coats, one set of nurse's uniform, an IV drip, and a stent.
Since everything had already been set up, there were basically no fixed scene arrangements left.
The rest is just the four of them changing costumes.
Ten minutes later, after everything was ready, Chen Yu gave an "OK" sign.
It's starting here.
Chen Yu walked from the back to the center of the "stage," speaking with great emotion as he went, "I'm so angry! My wife, you know, her dad needs an appendectomy, such a minor surgery, and she insists I give the doctor a huge red envelope. I said, 'What era are we living in? Doctors are all very ethical now, nobody accepts red envelopes anymore.' Before I could finish speaking, her dad grabbed a rolling pin and slammed it into my hand, giving me a huge red envelope. What do you tell me, should I give it or not? If I give it, I'll lose my principles; if I don't, I might lose my life." At this point, Chen Yu pulled a thick red envelope from his coat pocket, weighed it in his hand, and said, "I'll give it, but inside isn't money, it's just paper."
At the same time, Liu Tao's voice came through.
"Dad, don't worry, it's nothing, just a minor surgery, it'll be over in a minute. Besides, let me tell you, Shen Teng found you the best doctor, and we've already prepared the red envelope, so don't worry." The last sentence was whispered in his ear.
Meanwhile, the father-in-law, played by Chao Ge, was pushed out in a wheelchair by a female nurse. The nurse was, of course, played by Li Jinming in a cameo role.
As for why Li Jinming was chosen instead of Jiangsu Ying, it's because Jiangsu Ying lost at rock-paper-scissors.
Chen Yu and Shen Teng ran over shouting, crying, "Dad~~ you have to hold on! If anything happens to you, I won't live anymore!"
Chao Ge, playing the father-in-law, gave Chen Yu a disdainful look and said irritably, "Come on, that's what you said when your mother-in-law left."
Liu Tao, trying to defuse the situation, gave Chen Yu a flustered glare and pretended to scold him, "How can you talk like that? You're such a jinx."
Chao glanced at Liu Tao, then at Chen Yu, and said with obvious dissatisfaction, "It's alright. If I really can't get out later, you surnamed Shen, I hope you can keep your word."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu immediately became displeased and retorted, "Dad, that's not what I meant. I was just thinking that if I let out a few shouts, it would make it seem like we have a good relationship."
Liu Tao gave Chen Yu a look and said, "Forget it, you're the one who said it."
At this moment, the attending physician, played by Huang Lei, came out.
He instructed Zheng Kai, who was performing behind him.
"Come on, take the patient in, the surgery will begin immediately."
The reason Zheng Kai joined without Chen He is simple: he lost at rock-paper-scissors!
Liu Tao immediately came up behind Chen Yu, pushed him, and said urgently, "Hey, come on, here's the red envelope, hurry up."
Chen Yu looked at his wife somewhat reluctantly, then said, "No, we can't accept it even if we give it to them."
Liu Tao: "How do you know he doesn't want it if you don't give it to him?"
Teacher Dandan nodded in satisfaction as she watched. The performance had been smooth and orderly from beginning to end, without any stumbles. More importantly, the jokes were delivered one after another.
She also became interested in the script. Not long ago, Chen Yu had publicly discussed the issue of giving doctors red envelopes at the National People's Congress.
Moreover, this caused a great stir, with countless medical staff across the country standing up to express their stance and vent their grievances.
She understood this situation because she had done it herself.
When my mother was hospitalized, I gave the doctor and hospital director a red envelope containing 3 yuan.
The point is to get them to take good care of their elderly mother. After all, giving her money makes her feel comfortable and at ease.
Chen Yu spoke her mind, and she also spoke the mind of the Chinese people.
It might be because of a saying: "He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him."
So, was this script written by Chen Yu?!
If he can write a masterpiece like "Swallowing the Stars," then writing such a simple script shouldn't be a problem for him.
Could this guy really be an all-around prodigy?!
Dandan began to become curious about Chen Yu.
Wang Fengge smiled when he saw the change in Dandan's expression.
"Dandan, what do you think?!" Wang Fengge asked softly.
"Very good, very good. Every performance was excellent. Although there were some flaws, those flaws are also a kind of perfection."
"It far exceeded my expectations. It seems that Old Huang really didn't boast about his precious disciple for nothing. Well done!" Dan Dan nodded and praised.
Upon hearing Dandan's evaluation, Liang Siwen, who was standing to the side, beamed with joy. She had been somewhat worried that Chen Yu's career change was too big and he might not be used to it. She never expected Teacher Dandan to give such a positive review.
So rare!
Therefore, it shouldn't be a problem for Chen Yu to achieve a good ranking in the sketch comedy and crosstalk competition.
Even if you don't care about the monk's face, you should still care about the Buddha's face. Although Chen Yu demanded fairness and no backdoors, everyone in this circle is shrewd and knows what they should and shouldn't do.
So even though Chen Yu's performance was terrible, out of politeness, as long as it was passable, he would still be given a decent ranking. (To be continued.)
