Entertainment: A whirlwind marriage with a fairy-like mother at the start!

The song reached its climax.

Xue Zhiqian suddenly closed his eyes and grabbed the microphone stand with both hands.

"How I long to see you—"

"Look at the changes you've made lately—"

"Let's not talk about the past anymore, just exchange pleasantries—"

"I just want to say one thing to you, just one thing—"

"haven't seen you for a long time--"

His voice was hoarse with a hint of heart-wrenching pain, as if he wanted to tear open the deepest scars in people's hearts!

The song ended.

The scene was quiet, and the lingering echo seemed to still resonate in everyone's ears.

A few seconds later, thunderous applause erupted!

Lang Kun nodded excitedly in front of the director's table.

"Great! This song is absolutely guaranteed to bring tears to everyone's eyes online!!"

Xue Zhiqian bowed and stepped down from the stage.

His previous air of a romantic prince shattered instantly.

He jogged down to the stage, like a golden retriever begging for praise, and approached Yu Le.

"Boss! Boss! Those few trills I just sang were absolutely amazing! Weren't they incredibly cool? Aren't the girls in the audience completely smitten?"

Yu Le calmly handed over the thermos.

"You sang well. Don't wear a white suit next time; you look like a top insurance salesman."

Xue Zhiqian looked down at his expensively borrowed haute couture outfit and felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart.

.........

On stage, the lights came on.

The props team has already set up the new scene with lightning speed—a simple rental house in an urban village.

Huang Bo appeared on stage sporting an exaggerated afro wig, wearing a gaudy short-sleeved shirt and faded jeans.

He held a tattered palm-leaf fan, spoke in fluent Qingdao dialect, and looked utterly dejected.

"My goodness, it's so hot today, it's like being roasted alive! My newly bought popsicle melted into water before I even got home!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shu Chang and Tang Yan rushed out from the side of the stage.

The two of them were dressed in a very down-to-earth manner.

Shu Chang had her hair in two braids and was wearing a floral shirt; Tang Yan was wearing a baggy tracksuit and carrying two bulging, huge snakeskin bags.

"Brother! We've come to join you!" Shu Chang shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Clatter!"

The palm-leaf fan in Huang Bo's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

His eyes widened, and he circled the two of them twice, his face full of disbelief.

"Hey you two, what's going on here? Did you flee famine? Or did you just come back from buying goods at the train station? What's in that burlap sack, a bomb?"

Tang Yan put the snakeskin bag on the ground with a muffled "bang".

"These are local specialties my mom brought us! There are dried sweet potatoes, salted duck eggs, and... and two lively roosters!"

"Cluck cluck—!"

Two loud rooster crows came from the speakers at just the right moment.

Huang Bo was so startled that he jumped up onto the chair in a flash.

"Live chickens?! You two brought live chickens on that old-fashioned green train?! Didn't the train conductor arrest you?"

Three people make a show, and it starts in an instant!

Huang Bo's comedic talent is practically ingrained in his bones; every expression and every tremor is perfectly timed to make the audience laugh.

Shu Chang and Tang Yan went all out, shattering their idol images and vividly portraying the honest and clever nature of migrant workers in the city, speaking in their local dialect.

The staff members in the audience were laughing so hard they could barely stand, and they were all swaying back and forth.

Yu Le couldn't help but laugh, recalling the scene a few days ago in the rehearsal room where Zhao Benshan personally instructed them on the play.

Old Zhao sat in a chair, puffing on his pipe, and slowly gave instructions.

"Hiroko, you delivered that punchline too fast, you didn't give the audience time to react. You need to pause, just half a second, let the laughter linger. That's called 'leaving room for interpretation,' understand?"

"And Shu Chang, there's something wrong with your eyes! You're such a money-grubber, your eyes are always glancing into his pockets! If you're not a fangirl, stop staring at his face!"

After being coached by Lao Zhao, a comedy master, the quality of this skit improved dramatically.

One punchline after another, the rhythm was perfect.

Even Lang Kun couldn't help but slap his thigh, laughing until tears streamed down his face.

"Amazing! The chemistry between these three is incredible!"

The skit ended with a cheerful piece of music, and Huang Bo, along with Shu Chang and Tang Yan, bowed and left the stage amidst prolonged applause.

The subsequent rehearsals were nothing short of epic battles.

Jackie Chan and his stunt team put on an explosive martial arts performance, "Dragon Dance." A golden dragon, amplified by holographic projection, churned the waters, its roar shaking the heavens—a truly awe-inspiring spectacle!

Guo Degang, dressed in a traditional Chinese robe and holding a folding fan, delivered the purest form of street-style crosstalk, without any rules or restrictions, with jokes coming one after another, making the whole audience burst into laughter.

Liu Qianqian and Huang Qishan's duet "Is She a Mother or a Daughter" featured a holographic projection on stage that transformed the seasons, and the mother and daughter's heartfelt dialogue across time and space brought tears to the eyes of the emotional female staff members in the audience.

Liu Xiaoli's eyes reddened, and she held her daughter's hand tightly, unable to speak.

Four hours of rehearsal, not a second off, a perfect ending!

Lang Kun took off his headset, braced his hands on the director's platform, his chest heaving violently, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Mr. Yu, this gala is a success!"

There is no empty preaching, no forced sentimentality, only the purest joy, the best audio-visual experience, and the most sincere emotional resonance!

Yu Le slowly stood up and walked to the front of the director's table, shaking hands with Lang Kun.

"Coach Lang, thank you for your hard work."
