Chapter 115 A new comedy contest begins

The contestants were more enthusiastic about Ye Xuan and his two companions. After all, anyone with a discerning eye knew that after the show, Ye Xuan and his two companions would be the best among them.

If we don’t build good relations now, when will we?

Even if you can't build a good relationship, it's good to be able to catch the audience's eyes.

They sensed the envious looks from the contestants.

To be honest, I still feel a little secretly happy.

But no one showed it.

Amidst everyone's welcome, the eight groups of contestants took the stage.

The three judges entered the venue one by one, and the audience in the live broadcast room also waited in the room on time for the show to start.

"I waited until all the flowers wilted, and finally I got to the fifth episode."

"7 days. Do you know how I spent these 7 days?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, let's get started!"

The audience couldn't wait to post comments.

For them, the previous episode was so exciting that they had been thinking about it all week and couldn't wait to see the new episode.

They have read all the previous works so many times that they can't wait to show up as soon as the show starts.

The production crew couldn't help but burst into laughter when looking at the backstage data.

"The last time the show ended, there were already 600 million viewers, but this time, there were 500 million viewers right after the show started."

The staff of the backstage data control group reported to the director, who smiled and nodded.

At this stage of the show, it can be said that it is destined to become a hit.

When he first started, he expected the live broadcast to have only 4 million viewers, but he didn't expect that to be achieved in just episodes.

"We need to add some more variety to this recording. Let's talk to Xiao Sa."

The director told his subordinates the new rules and passed them to Xiao Sa through the microphone.

After Xiao Sa received the message from backstage, he said to everyone.

"Welcome to this episode of the Comedy Contest. I'm your host, Xiao Sa."

"After several rounds of fierce competition, we have selected eight groups of outstanding contestants and are about to start our championship competition."

"But before that, we still need to go through a few rounds of eliminations."

"The rules of this round of competition will be slightly different from before."

"First of all, this round is a semi-finals from the quarter-finals. We will eliminate four players and select the top four to compete for the final championship."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a little nervous, and there was a burst of surprise at the scene.

Although the eight-to-four format is very common, when it comes to this stage, eliminating four groups of players at once is still a bit cruel for them.

After all, at this stage, no one wants to be eliminated, and a 50% chance of elimination is a bit too high.

"Not only that, celebrity guests will also participate in our competition. The details will be announced later, so I'll keep it a secret for now."

Xiao Sa's words made everyone even more nervous.

How will the celebrity guests participate? Will they compete with them, and those who fail to surpass the celebrity guests will be eliminated like before?
This is a bit too cruel. Except for Ye Xuan, none of them are sure of defeating the celebrity guest.

The audience in the live broadcast room looked at them as if they were watching a show.

"Not saying it directly but keeping it a secret is like the sword of Damocles."

“What a bad production team, hahahaha.”

"This is getting tense." Just when everyone was a little nervous, Xiao Sa continued to speak.

"At the same time, only two people are allowed to perform this time, which means that when creating a skit, only two protagonists can perform."

"Two people?"

As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked.

Generally, skits are rarely performed by two people, and crosstalk is similar.

If there are only two people, the scene will be monotonous, the dialogue may also be monotonous, which increases the difficulty of story creation.

It was already difficult for them to surpass Ye Xuan in script writing. Now that one of their legs has been cut off, wouldn’t it be even more difficult?

When the audience in the live broadcast room heard this, they also spoke as if they were enjoying a good show.

"A sketch for two people?"

"In fact, it doesn't have to be a skit. The program team has never stipulated that only skits can be created. Some people have challenged other themes before. It's just that most of them are creative skits."

"But when it comes to crosstalk, it seems that no one is very good at it, and Ye Xuan has never produced a crosstalk work."

"This makes me curious, if there are two people performing, what will they do?"

The audience in the live broadcast room was equally shocked.

The three judges couldn't help but comfort the contestants after seeing their performance.

"Everyone's situation is the same, it's two people creating, and this situation tests your understanding of comedy even more."

"That's right, any subject matter can be interpreted into an appropriate comedy work, you just need to think about it calmly."

"And this time, there are no restrictions on the subject matter for the competition, so everyone can express themselves freely."

The three judges spoke one after another.

The contestants calmed down after hearing this.

You're right. If two people perform together, the difficulty will increase for everyone, and it's not just their group.

Especially Ye Xuan, who had previously created sketches for three people. Could it be possible that he could continue to create sketches for two people?
The difficulty of a two-person skit is much higher than that of a three-person skit. If one person is missing to coordinate, the completeness and humor of the story are likely to decline.

At least it's easy for the audience to get bored and tired of the conversation between the two people.

But if Ye Xuan was going to create a two-person crosstalk, they had never seen Ye Xuan create crosstalk of this kind.

After all, Ye Xuan's strength so far is based on skits. Without skits, can Ye Xuan still get full marks?

That's not necessarily the case.

After all the contestants understood this, they couldn't help but feel relieved.

Regardless of whether Ye Xuan is creating a skit or other themes, this time they all have a chance to win.

For them, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If they can defeat Ye Xuan in this competition, they will not only defeat Ye Xuan, but they will also be able to gain the audience's memory and become completely famous.

After all, the myth of Ye Xuan’s undefeated status is circulating on the internet now. Whoever can defeat him will definitely become famous.

Thinking of this, the contestants' fighting spirit became even stronger.

Seeing the raging flames of fighting spirit in the contestants' eyes, Xiao Sa smiled.

"Because the creation this time is more difficult, each group has half an hour more preparation time."

“The competition is still based on a scoring system. I hope everyone will do their best and create their best work.”

"Then I declare that all contestants return to their rooms. The timer is set for one and a half hours. The competition officially begins!"
