Chapter 356 - Chapter 356 Chapter 355 Thats it This is exactly what I want

Chapter 356: Chapter 355 That’s it! This is exactly what I want! Chapter 356: Chapter 355 That’s it! This is exactly what I want! At this point, everyone in the room was very curious. Could this sketch that Wang Hao had created on the spot really work? It sounded awesome when he talked about it, but no one knew how it would actually turn out.

And so, the sketch commenced.

First, Mao Mao and Zhao Lao Nian took the stage, and Zhao Lao Nian read from the script, “This is the most expensive restaurant in Tieling, Scotland… flirtation…”

Mao Mao: “Grandpa, you read it wrong, it’s supposed to be ‘Scottish ambiance’! Grandpa, this place is really expensive!”

Zhao Lao Nian: “Don’t worry, we’ve brought money, thirty thousand, do you have the bag? That yellow bag.”

This was just the opening setup, in short, the two were preparing to welcome the judges from Zhonghai Good Songs, but had left the bag with the money at home.

By now, everyone was craning their necks–

“This isn’t funny yet, they’re just setting up the story.”

“Yeah, what’s the big deal? It’s no better than ours!”

But very soon, everyone realized just how powerful this sketch was!

At this point, Zhao Lao Nian and Mao Mao entered the restaurant, and Zhao Lao Nian called out, “Waiter!”

Xiao Shenyang made a splendid entrance: “I’m sorry, sir, we are a high-end hotel and we don’t accept agricultural products.”

Zhao Lao Nian: “We’re here to eat, girl. This meal is very important!”

Xiao Shenyang: “Who are you calling girl, sir? I’m all man!”

With Xiao Shenyang’s cheeky expression and his outfit, the crowd immediately burst into laughter.

Zhao Lao Nian: “Why are you wearing a skirt?”

Xiao Shenyang: “It’s not a skirt, these are capri pants, look, it has legs… Oh no, in my rush I put them on wrong, that’s why walking felt so awkward!”

The audience was already laughing uncontrollably.

The sketch that Wang Hao had chosen, “No Shortage of Money”, was widely regarded as one of Uncle Benshan’s peak works, and it was this very sketch that had made Xiao Shenyang a household name across Jiangnan! Although it wasn’t fully rehearsed yet, the brilliance of the dialogue alone had people in stitches, and clearly, the sketch only got funnier as it went on!

“Hahaha, it’s so funny! Scottish noodles with gravy! Is it the gravy that’s expensive? The gravy is free. Then give me a bowl of gravy, the kid is hungry! Hahaha! So clever!”

“The setting is very grand, a big hall, a big room, with a big photo in the middle, surrounded by flowers! White ones, yellow ones, you name it! Hahaha, the decor in this room, it’s so unique!”

“Do you have anything that’s over a pound? You do… or don’t you? These two, hahaha, this dialogue is brilliant!”

The people below were laughing so hard they were falling over, and the three actors on stage were also chuckling as they spoke: “We have this… We really don’t have that!”

By now, Secretary Lin, sitting at the head table, was practically dropping his jaw to the floor!

Could such an incredible work really be done by this Wang Hao?! If this were shown at the party, wouldn’t it blow the roof off?!

“This is the one! This is what I want!” Secretary Lin pounded the table: “This sketch! It must be performed at the event!”

The crowd below was completely flabbergasted–Secretary Lin was that excited!

In the time that followed, the audience truly had their eyes opened!

The sketch that Wang Hao provided was just filled with one classic line after another!

“Brother, next time we come to a restaurant, should we bring our own ingredients? They don’t have anything we order here. Few dishes, two of each, can’t you give us a chance? A director visits your restaurant, shouldn’t you make a gesture? Offer us something? How can you be so stingy, sir? Not a single complimentary dish, now we have to pay extra!”

“Stop quibbling, what if we really need to deal with something later?”

“Life, sometimes, is just like sleeping. You close your eyes, you struggle, and a day passes by, great~~~~ You close your eyes, don’t struggle, and your whole life passes by, great~~~~~!”

“Money is an external possession. What’s the most painful thing for a human being? When you die and you haven’t spent your money!”

“The most, most painful thing is living without money!”

At this point, the actors on stage didn’t even need to perform anymore, the lines themselves were making the audience roll in the aisles with laughter over and over again!

Secretary Lin’s eyes were shining so brightly, they were like two hundred-watt lightbulbs! In the middle of the night, there was no need for lights, just his eyes were enough to illuminate the room!

“Little Wang, you nailed it! This sketch is absolutely brilliant!” Secretary Lin praised enthusiastically, “With this sketch alone, it will have people laughing their teeth off!”

No shit, Sherlock. The skit was universally acknowledged as the pinnacle of sketch work–didn’t it catapult Xiao Shenyang to stardom? Was there even a shred of doubt?

Sure enough, once the performance of the sketch concluded, there was an explosion of applause from below, lasting a full minute!

Now everyone sincerely admired Wang Hao–how could they not?

With just this sketch, who would dare to say a word against it? This is what a good sketch is, right? In just over twenty minutes, how many times did people burst into laughter? It was countless! Virtually every line was a classic!

By now, no one dared to pick apart Wang Hao’s work. Whispering, Secretary Lin asked, “Bro, this sketch is definitely beyond reproach, but do you have any other ideas? If we only rely on your sketch and the cross-talk for the finale of our evening gala, it’ll be just fine, but with only two acts, we’re short on numbers!”

Once Secretary Lin called him “bro”, Wang Hao’s stock rose instantly!

Even the TV station’s manager started looking at Wang Hao differently!

The fact that Mayor Su’s secretary casually addressed this young man as “bro” on the spot–what did that imply?

Once Wang Hao would sit in the office declaring he knew Secretary Lin, who would dare not show him respect?

“Yeah, Little Wang,” intoned the station manager with obvious kindness, whispering, “You got any more?”

Language-based acts like skits and cross-talks must account for at least one third of a variety show. Now, although we only have two, even though they’re of exceptional quality, it’s still not quite sufficient!

Actually, Secretary Lin was just making casual conversation, but to his surprise, Wang Hao, without hesitation, nodded and said, “No problem, Brother Lin. I guarantee this evening gala will make you proud! For this sketch alone, I’ve got a bunch of them. Let me tell you about them!”

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room was dumbfounded!

He had prepared more than one sketch?!

Liu Big Head’s eyes were about to pop out of his head. He exclaimed, “Damn, he has more than one sketch like this?!”

“Hey, you there,” Wang Hao beckoned to Liu Big Head, “You’re Liu Big Head, right? Come over here! Today, I’ll show you what a real sketch is! You couldn’t perform in the previous sketch, but you’ll definitely fit in this one!”

Yes, that’s right. This sketch was the perfect fit for Liu Big Head to play a role!

“Me?! I can do it too?!” Liu Big Head’s face was filled with disbelief; he hadn’t even imagined Wang Hao could find a role for him: “You really have a part for me?!”

“Of course,” Wang Hao called him up, saying, “You’ll play a role here. Just wait until I get the script ready!”

Wang Hao was drafting the script on the spot, leaving Liu Big Head in utter shock.

Could it be that this guy was able to create sketch scripts just by opening his mouth?! No way, right? That terrifying? Usually, it took us months to work on a single sketch, with some even taking two to three months to finalize before hitting the stage, and this guy just casually pulls out a bunch of them?

Liu Big Head was full of disbelief, but once he saw the script, he was floored!

“Just read what’s written,” Wang Hao handed the lines over to Liu Big Head, and casually picked a couple of other people, “I’ve written all the key points, you good?”

Liu Big Head glanced over, saying, “All good!”

And so they began to perform.

Soon, the old women started reading as directed, “Crutches, crutches!”

Liu Big Head: “What kind of crutches?”

Uncle Zhao: “You read the whole thing!”

The old women: “Selling, selling!”

Uncle Zhao: “Read it together!”

The old women: “Selling crutches, selling crutches!”

Liu Big Head: “Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about? Selling crutches?! I almost called the police!”

They had barely started the performance, but the audience was already in stitches, with many laughing, “Hahaha, I can’t take it, this dialogue is genius! Selling crutches, haha! Isn’t it ‘Selling Crutches’?!” “Wang Hao is just too talented, you can’t help but admire him!” “Exactly, every line in this script is hilarious, no question about it!”

The sketch Wang Hao picked was also a masterpiece of its kind, “Selling Crutches”!

This sketch was a burst of comedy from start to finish, without a single wasted word! All strung together, it could make someone’s belly split from laughing!
