Chapter 788 Talk Show Performance
In the past, Carter often saw an extremely contradictory argument: Can the time-travelers defeat the indigenous people?
Among the tens of thousands of travelers that the Starting Point Time Travel Bureau transports to all the worlds every year, there are some who are coaxing and arrogant, and their hands and feet are filled with the arrogance and domineering attitude of "everyone here is a hot chick";
They will shrink back and hide everything about themselves that is not in line with the characteristics of the times, hiding in dark corners and living with the light.
However, under the first type of article, there are always some comments such as "Do you really think the aborigines are all mentally retarded?"; under the second type of article, there are always comments like "You have traveled through time and are still so cowardly, you are really stupid."
speech.
After finally joining the army of time travelers, Carter gradually came to understand this.
Look at the direction!
In terms of the operation of specific affairs, time travelers may not necessarily have an advantage over the aboriginal people. Their IQ is no worse than yours, and their familiarity with the current rules is definitely far better than yours. But in terms of creativity, seeing, and patterning.
Travelers in the era of information explosion undoubtedly have extremely powerful advantages!
For ordinary creators, it is not easy to write a well-received and well-received joke in three days. But for Carter, his only difficulty is to think about which jokes are suitable for this era and for himself as a performer.
!
Lying in bed at night, after thinking for a while, Carter had an idea in his mind
He even had time the next day to go to a tavern at the intersection of Grove Street and Orange and listen to the live version.
Like rap, which was controversial in its previous life, stand-up comedy performed casually in pubs and bars generally has problems such as unclear intentions and insufficient depth of content. And a large number of topics used in the performances come from the theme of "love between men and women"
Activities suitable for all ages.
To put it bluntly, many of the jokes are dirty jokes! They have no meaning other than making people laugh.
Of course, this is not that Carter wants to add some "educational" element to it, but Carter knows very well that in addition to telling dirty jokes, talk shows can also be very interesting when talking about other topics!
Time flies to three days later
At nightfall, after Carter had dinner with Joshua Hall, the president of the Yale Drama Society, and Moketi Ndiaye, the director of the Buckley Symphony Orchestra who provided the music for the poetry play, the three of them
Come to the Yale Broadway Theater on Elm Street
After changing into his dress in the dressing room and watching the orchestra preparing, Carter sat quietly. Listening to the student conductor's last instructions before taking the stage, Carter was also thinking about some more divergent questions in his mind.
Maybe it’s education? Or maybe it’s simply the atmosphere in the field of music or art.
Yale is not a good school for cultivating specialized talents, but in terms of comprehensive talent training, perhaps no other university can rival it. Take this performance as an example.
The theater's concert hall rental, Buckley Orchestra and drama club's performance fees together are not a small amount. But since they dare to arrange such a performance, this shows that the seemingly boring classical art form does not have an audience at Yale.
Not small!
In a university with a total of just 10,000 students, orchestras and choirs of all sizes can exceed double digits. Under the requirements of Yale's course selection system, almost everyone has some "talent."
Carter likes this atmosphere very much!
When the brisk and bright tune of Norwegian musician Grieg's "Morning Song" sounded, Carter noticed that the lights in front of the stage had dimmed.
The opera "Peer Gynt" officially opens!
The story of "Peer Gynt" is a bit like the fables Carter read when he was a child. It generally tells the story of the playboy Peer Gynt's wild adventures and turbulent life.
When the curtain came down for the transition, the audience relaxed, prepared to chat, or prepared to get up and take advantage of the intermission to solve three urgent problems. Accompanied by the background staff, Carter walked quickly
on stage
Lifting a corner of the curtain, Carter revealed half of his body. He didn't speak, but his eyes flickered.
Noticing the changes on the stage, many audience members returned to their seats and the voices gradually became quieter.
"Aha! It seems you are bored! How about you listen to me tell a story?"
Walking to the stage with applause, Carter began his performance:
"Good evening, everyone, I'm Carter Black!"
"Before the story about Peer Gynt's arrival in California, I want to tell you about California. As you all know, as a person who was born with a golden hook in his butt, I am lucky
Yes, because I can see this beautiful country of ours everywhere!”
The vulgar language instantly made many northern students understand what Carter was going to perform on stage at this time.
A faint roar of laughter rang out.
"But Ibsen was not so lucky! Like him, in the eyes of many people who have never been to the United States, the United States is a whole!"
When talking about this, Carter began to perform physically:
While leaning your upper body forward, make movements with your hands and repeat in your mouth:
"You understand, right? The United States or Americans are one!"
"But if you live here for a long time, you will find that the United States is very big! Each state is like a country, with its own cuisine, its own way of speaking, its own values, and its own flag."
"It's led to a lot of division, and the United States is like a federation of these different countries trying to form one. Once you've lived here for a while, you can see at a glance how many different Americans there are, from coast to coast."
"Just like this one! Look, man, you are as nervous as if you are still fighting the British! Are you going to go to Saragato after tonight? Remember to take my share with you!"
He made an action of throwing a bullet, and coupled with Carter's somewhat nervous look, the first baggage was successfully thrown.
Although everyone understands that the tension Carter refers to refers to the fast pace of cities on the East Coast, especially in the Northeast. But after connecting it to the Revolutionary War, one can't help but find that this metaphor is really vivid.
Aren't office workers rushing to catch the subway just like soldiers who have been given urgent marching orders and are afraid of being late?!
As the applause rang out, Carter did not give everyone enough time to react, and immediately began to shake out the second baggage!
"In New York, I see this almost every day, a guy walking down the street going, 'Fuck! I'm walking down this fucking road.'"
This second baggage is more like a simulated performance of a situation
An irritable person, walking on the road, seemed to be blocking his way because there were people everywhere in front of him, so he stamped his feet and cursed directly.
Except for freshmen, almost everyone has been to Yale in New York. This scene instantly resonated with everyone.
The applause and chuckles that had not stopped just now started again.
Chapter completed!
