Chapter 354 - Chapter 354 Chapter 353 This Show Gets a 90

Chapter 354: Chapter 353: This Show Gets a 90?! Chapter 354: Chapter 353: This Show Gets a 90?! As long as he was here, everything would be manageable. Wang Hao wasn’t in a hurry then, and immediately started watching the skit.

Speaking of which, skits in this world were totally beyond Wang Hao’s expectations! Not because they were well performed, but because they were just too terrible!

Almost twenty minutes for the whole skit, and not once did Wang Hao laugh!

Such a skit was watchable? Not laughing was one thing, but the actors were always begging for a round of applause–were they singing a double act or what?!

“Little Yueyue,” Wang Hao asked Yue Peng beside him, “This skit has got to be the worst one auditioning this time, right?!”

As soon as Wang Hao finished speaking, before Little Yueyue could reply, he saw everyone around them suddenly turn their heads, their gazes clicking like gunfire, almost riddling him with bullet holes!

What was going on?

“Brother Hao,” Little Yueyue said with a cold sweat, whispering, “The guy performing on stage right now is called Liu Big Head. He’s always been the closing act at past events. His skit is definitely the best of the ones we have auditioning this time. How could you say it’s the worst?!”

Damn, this skit could be called the best?

Just look at how they’re performing! Three people yelling and bustling around onstage, with not a single laugh from the audience, just occasional sparse applause–and this skit is the headliner?!

If this were the past life, it probably would only qualify for second-rate gig performances, and even then, only as cannon fodder!

“This is considered the best?” Wang Hao was dumbfounded, “Then how bad were the ones before this?!”

The people around turned back again, directing another round of scanning gazes.

Soon, the skit ended, and the actor known as Liu Big Head got off the stage and started heading towards Wang Hao’s side!

Then Wang Hao saw the people around him rush up in a flurry, serving tea and handing towels. Liu Big Head took a sip of tea and wiped off the sweat with a towel before plonking down. Never mind the quality of his performance, just looking at his demeanor, he really seemed to carry some clout in the industry!

He heard the person who served the tea chuckle softly, “Brother Big Head, your skit just now was fantastic, definitely a pass!”

The one offering the towel said, “Does Brother Big Head’s show even need doubt? There’s no problem for sure! It’ll be the closing act again this year!”

“It was just so-so,” Liu Big Head holding his cup, said, “My performance just now wasn’t too good; I’d barely give it ninety points. Of course, passing the audition shouldn’t be a problem.”

Wang Hao: “…” This skit gets ninety points?!

Damn, now I finally get why you’re called Big Head–must be the thick skin that’s stretched your head out!

During this time, Secretary Lin and several executives from the television station began assessing Liu Big Head’s skit. They whispered among themselves for a full five minutes before finally shaking their heads.

One of the staff members on the stage then raised both hands and made a cross sign, announcing, “The act has not passed the audition. There will be a ten-minute intermission!”

“Pff–!!” Upon seeing his act was killed off, Liu Big Head, who was drinking tea, suddenly sprayed it out, exclaiming in shock, “Damn, my act didn’t make it?!”

He wasn’t the only one surprised; aside from Wang Hao, it seemed like everyone else in the entire room was too!

“No way?! Liu Big Head’s act got killed off?! Can this event even go on with any acts?!”

“Exactly, Liu Big Head’s act was definitely not bad at all. If his act got killed off, should we even bother going on?!”

“What are we going to do? Seriously, our act can’t compare to his, it’s over, definitely no hope now!”

Yue Peng was also visibly shocked, saying, “My god! Liu Big Head’s act didn’t make it! Brother Hao, what do we do now?!”

“Isn’t it perfectly normal for a show like this to get axed?” Wang Hao scratched his head and said, “I didn’t find it funny at all. If the audience doesn’t laugh at a sketch, then obviously it’s not going to work.”

To tell the truth, Wang Hao was just stating the obvious, but to the ears of the people around him, it sounded different!

“Who are you? Do you even know what a sketch is?”

“Exactly, exactly. Young man, don’t just spout nonsense. Liu Big Head’s sketches are absolutely great. If you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense!”

As the saying goes, bad news travels fast.

No more than two minutes had passed since Wang Hao had spoken, and his words had already reached Liu Big Head’s ears.

Liu Big Head sprang to his feet, stormed over to Wang Hao with a sneer, and said, “Who are you, speaking so arrogantly? My work is no good, so yours is better? He glanced at Yue Peng and added, “Isn’t he just a lousy crosstalk speaker? What’s there to show off here?”

Ah, come on, your performance flops and you don’t let people talk about it? You think everyone has to coddle you?

So what if he’s a crosstalk speaker? Our Little Yueyue is now the pillar of the Happy People Stage! Does that make him inferior to you?

Wang Hao was just about to give Liu Big Head a piece of his mind when Little Yueyue quietly tugged at his clothes and whispered, “Brother Hao, let it go. We shouldn’t argue with him. It’s my turn to go on stage soon. No need to argue over this.”

“Alright,” Wang Hao shrugged, “then I’ll say less.”

In fact, he really couldn’t hold back just now–Liu Big Head’s sketch, in his opinion, was absolutely cannon fodder. Even those who came to auditions were just there to make up the numbers.

And yet, Liu Big Head had the gall to strut around as if he owned the place…

“What, are you chickening out now?” Liu Big Head laughed loudly, “That’s right, historically, crosstalk has always been a notch below our sketches. Remember this in the future, don’t just say whatever comes to mind, got it?”

Wang Hao just shrugged with a grin. This guy really was full of himself!

The intermission was over, and two more sketches went up–without any surprise, all were axed, and now everyone started to get restless.

“What do we do, what do we do? Every act that goes up gets axed!”

“It’s over, no one is going to pass the audition this time!”

Yue Peng was also nervous. He grabbed Wang Hao’s arm and said, “Brother Hao, I’m up next. Can I make it?”

Wang Hao laughed and said, “Scared of what? Go for it! With Brother Hao here, there’s absolutely no problem!”

Liu Big Head sneered nearby, “Keep boasting, just wait until your crosstalk is rejected, then what will you say?”

Wang Hao gave him a glance–this guy was really petty. Was it wrong to simply speak the truth?

Silence quickly fell over the hall, and Little Yueyue took the stage!

Without any surprise, after Little Yueyue finished his crosstalk, the entire judging panel lit up their votes–approved!

“Holy shit! It actually passed?!” Liu Big Head’s eyes nearly popped out, his face full of disbelief: “This… this…”

While everyone was still in shock, Secretary Lin sitting at the chairman’s table frowned and said, “This won’t do. So many acts, and in the end, only one is decent. We can’t have a gala with just one language program. What do we do?”

Upon hearing Secretary Liu’s words, everyone shut their mouths and dared not speak.

Indeed, a gala with only one language piece was obviously not acceptable. It wouldn’t be presentable.

But just as everyone was puzzled about what to do, Liu Big Head suddenly stood up, pointed at Wang Hao, and said, “Secretary Lin, this guy says that our sketches are no good, maybe he has some ideas!”
