The star is legit but sick.

Chapter 557: He won’t do it himself, right?

As Xu Ye spoke, his eyes swept across the entire audience and paused when he passed Yang Baoyin.

He said this to everyone present, and also to the audience online after the show airs.

No one would have thought that Xu Ye would actually participate in "Big Laugh Theater" and become a direct competitor of Yang Baoyin.

Yang Baoyin is currently the number one in Chinese comedy films.

Although Xu Ye's "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" has grossed over a billion yuan at the box office, there is still a big gap between him and Yang Baoyin.

Even if there are many netizens who do not agree with Yang Baoyin's statement, if you really ask them who is better, Yang Baoyin or Xu Ye, these people will answer without hesitation that Yang Baoyin is better.

This kind of concept is accumulated through one work after another. It doesn't mean that you can make people have this idea just by making a movie that becomes a hit.

Unless you can make every movie a hit, people will develop this idea over time.

Xu Ye has only made one movie so far.

"The person who came was actually Xu Ye. Could he be coming for Yang Baoyin?"

"What's going on? Is Xu Ye so brave?"

"What did he think?"

In the audience, the audience was talking about it.

Xu Ye did not waste too much time. After introducing himself, he said, "I hope the mentors will show some mercy. See you on stage!"

After saying this, Xu Ye walked off the stage, and the host continued with the next process.

After Xu Ye left the stage, he walked to the mentor seat.

The mentor seats were lined up in a row, with Yang Baoyin sitting on the far right, because Hong Haibo, who left in the previous episode, was sitting in the middle seat, and after he left, this seat became vacant for Xu Ye.

There was only one seat between Xu Ye and Yang Baoyin, and the person sitting in that seat was an actor named Hu Jinping.

Hu Jinping started out as an actor in TV dramas, and he can handle both period and modern dramas with ease.

He has been acting for most of his life, but he did not expect that he became popular in the Internet age not because of his good acting skills, but because of a line he said when he made a cameo appearance in a movie.

The line is "Your father is here."

This line in the drama couldn't be more normal, but it became popular for no apparent reason, and the emoticon package has been sent at least millions of times.

Hu Jinping is not a comedian, but he is better than a comedian.

Apart from Hu Jinping, the other two mentors are a director and an actor.

Everyone’s level is pretty good, and they have masterpieces that are well-known to everyone.

If you want to be a mentor in a comedy show, you have to have some skills, otherwise it would be embarrassing to come here.

After Xu Ye arrived at the tutor's seat, everyone except Yang Baoyin took the initiative to greet Xu Ye.

Hu Jinping even smiled and said, "Xu Ye, I have heard of your name for a long time."

As he spoke, Hu Jinping stretched out his right hand.

Xu Ye stretched out his left hand and asked with a smile: "How long?"

The smile on Hu Jinping's face froze instantly.

What's wrong with you?
Is there anyone who interrupts others like you?
Fortunately, Hu Jinping responded quickly and said, "A long, long time."

After the two shook hands, Hu Jinping realized that Xu Ye had just shaken hands with his right hand with his left hand.

My goodness, you are really terminally ill now!
From Hu Jinping's perspective, there is no trace of performance at all.

Either Xu Ye’s acting skills are really great, or Xu Ye is just that kind of person.

Hu Jinping believes more in the latter.

There's something wrong with this guy!
After shaking hands with Hu Jinping, Xu Ye sat directly on the chair without even looking at Yang Baoyin.

This made Hu Jinping, who was caught in the middle, feel a little uncomfortable.

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to say a few words to ease the relationship between Xu Ye and Yang Baoyin, but looking at Xu Ye's attitude, it seemed that he had no intention of communicating with Yang Baoyin at all.

Hu Jinping tilted his head and glanced at Yang Baoyin out of the corner of his eye.

Just now, Yang Baoyin was obviously prepared to say a few words to Xu Ye, saying that Hu Jinping didn't know.

"Okay, it doesn't matter what you want to say. Xu Ye doesn't intend to let you speak." Hu Jinping said in his heart.

Naturally, he personally did not agree with what Yang Baoyin said.

In recent years, with the rapid development of mobile Internet, there are more and more Internet users, and the netizens are getting younger and younger. The times have changed a lot.

Yang Baoyin is old and can no longer keep up with the times.

It doesn't matter if ordinary people can't keep up with the times, but if a literary and artistic worker cannot keep up with the times, the consequences will be very serious.

When your work is out of touch with current society, the response will naturally not be good.

Yang Baoyin has been holding back on his ambition to make a classic comedy film that would be both a box office success and a good reputation, and most importantly, he wants the film to be passed down through the ages.

This obsession gradually changed Yang Baoyin's mentality.

The more you want it, the less you can do it.

Hu Jinping and Yang Baoyin did not have a particularly good relationship, and he would not specifically give Yang Baoyin advice. If he did, he would only bring trouble upon himself.

"I don't know what Yang Baoyin is thinking now." Hu Jinping was somewhat gloating.

At this time, Yang Baoyin had regained his calm expression.

He snorted coldly and said nothing more.

At this time, the host began to read the oral advertisement. After reading the advertisement, the host announced: "The first team to go on stage is Mr. Hu Jinping's team, Hu Jinping's team."

That’s right, the name Hu Jinping gave to his team is “Hu Jinping’s Team”.

Hu Jinping immediately stood up and began to applaud.

In this episode, the order of the teams is determined by their scores, and the team with the highest scores can choose the order of appearance first. Hu Jinping was the second in the previous episode, but he chose to be the first to appear, which was very exciting.

As Hu Jinping took the lead in applauding, everyone present also began to applaud.

The program information was also displayed on the big screen. The name of the sketch was "The Flower Heart Detective".

This sketch tells the story of a series of things that a detective with very strong reasoning ability encountered in the process of solving a case.

The rhythm of the entire sketch is also well controlled.

Especially when this philandering detective reasoned step by step to the end and concluded that he was cheated on, the cheers from the entire audience reached a peak.

Hu Jinping's strength in this area is naturally beyond doubt.

After the performance, the guests and audience with voting rights began to vote.

Not all audience members who come to watch the show in person are eligible to vote. Only regular audience members selected by the program team can vote.

In addition to the mentor group, there are five celebrity guests, and these guests only have the right to choose whether to like or dislike.

If you choose "like", it is equivalent to casting all your votes; if you don't like, you won't vote.

If all five celebrity guests choose "like", then the team can advance directly.

Even if the total number of votes is lower than that of other teams, they can still advance.

Members of the mentor group are not eligible to vote.

After the voting was over, the host began to ask the mentors for comments, while the actors who had just performed were still standing on the stage.

After the host called on Xu Ye, Xu Ye also made a small comment.

After he finished his comments, the actors on the stage listened very carefully, afraid of missing a single word.

This left Hu Jinping stunned.

"I didn't see you guys listening so seriously when I was teaching you. Why is it different when Xu Ye takes over?"

This was followed by performances from the other two mentor teams.

Yang Baoyin's team was the second to last to perform, and because Xu Ye was a challenger, he automatically got the last chance to perform.

The difference can be felt when the last two skits are performed.

There was a skit that was forced to reach a climax at the end, but the emotion was not rendered well, making it seem a bit disappointing.

"If the sublimation was deleted, this sketch would be quite good." Xu Ye commented in his mind.

The total votes for the next two programs were not as high as "Detective Dee: Flowery Delights", which made the two mentors sweat.

It is impossible to compete with Yang Baoyin. If you want to avoid being eliminated, you have to watch Xu Ye's show.

"Why do I feel like Xu Ye gives me more pressure than Yang Baoyin?"

Both mentors laughed at the thought in their hearts.

Xu Ye, a person who had never created a skit before, actually made them feel pressured.

At this time, the host announced that Yang Baoyin's team would come on stage.

The name of Yang Baoyin’s team is much more normal, called “One Yang, A Thousand Joys”, which has a good meaning.

When Xu Ye heard the name, he almost thought he had heard it wrong, because he was so familiar with the name.

Fortunately, it was not the name he remembered, it just happened to be pronounced the same way.

The show performed by Yang Baoyin's team was called "Let's Talk It Out Nicely".

What he is best at is using the structure of the story to create laughs.

This is a completely different way of expressing comedy from nonsense, and it is also what Yang Baoyin's fans talk about the most.

After all, this kind of thing that starts from the story structure allows everyone to conduct in-depth analysis.

But this time Yang Baoyin didn't handle it well.

At the beginning of the story, the communication between several characters was already a bit slow. Xu Ye could probably guess that Yang Baoyin was laying the groundwork for what was to come.

But he wanted so much to lay the groundwork for what he was going to express later that the pace slowed down in the early stages.

While the show was being performed, Xu Ye suddenly stood up.

Hu Jinping asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

"Get ready to go on stage." Xu Ye said.

Hu Jinping was a little surprised and asked, "You want to perform on stage?"

Xu Ye nodded and said, "Time is tight. There is no time to rehearse the program, so I have to go on by myself."

After saying that, Xu Ye walked towards the backstage.

This made a large group of people around look confused.

What's going on?
Just stop watching Yang Baoyin’s show?

Is Xu Ye so tough?
In the audience, Chen Guangze was also paying attention to the movements of the mentors.

As soon as he saw Xu Ye get up and leave, and Hu Jinping looked surprised after talking to Xu Ye, Chen Guangze began to imagine.

"Xu Ye, you understand the trend. If a sentence about Xu Ye angrily leaving Yang Baoyin's show was broadcasted, it would at least become a trending search. It doesn't matter. You are the one who is embarrassed anyway."

Chen Guangze kept his eyes on Xu Ye, and as he watched he noticed something was wrong.

After Xu Ye walked to the side of the stage, a staff member took the initiative to come forward and lead him away.

The staff was not panicked at all. It was obvious that this was within their expectations.

He kept watching Xu Ye's figure disappear in the passage leading to the backstage, and an idea popped up in Chen Guangze's mind.

"Will the skit that will be played later be written, directed and performed by him?"
