Chapter 2258: Cat Getan Music Festival (6)
Arthur's talk show was a great success, and it had been reposted more than a thousand times on major websites before the opening ceremony performance was even over. Many well-known comedy talk show critics commented that he had a unique sense of rhythm, especially in the narrative part.
In fact, comedy talk shows are not just about telling those funny jokes. Some people will be confused when watching translations of foreign talk shows that the jokes are not funny, and may even feel that this is a cultural gap problem. In fact, this is not the case.
Comedy talk shows are divided into many types. Some have heavier comedy factors, which are just to make everyone happy. Some use some humorous elements to metaphor racial and social system problems, and some are completely mocking openly.
The most difficult part of a talk show is actually not writing small jokes, but how to connect many small jokes with humorous elements, so that they have a common theme and are not too loose.
And writing a complete, coherent long story is a problem that can make any talk show actor and scriptwriter scratch their heads. You can't ask the audience watching the talk show to have the patience of the audience watching Shakespeare's plays. Their viewing expectations are different.
The audience watching Shakespeare's plays might have used a week to relax their body and mind, just to welcome a wonderful performance. They will not let go of any facial details of the actors and will fully immerse themselves in this magnificent performance. For them, this is consumption, not replenishment.
But the talk show audience might just be that they couldn't find a good TV series to watch on the weekend, so they bought a ticket to listen to jokes. Their brains were not working at all, but they were counting on the comedian to replenish their vitality. They are irritable and hungry.
This leads to them not being able to listen to any long-line stories. Don't expect them to remember what the talk show actor said two minutes ago. They are not interested in any causes, processes, and results. Only instinct makes them grab everything funny and laugh out loud.
So long-line narration is almost impossible, unless you mix humor and comedy elements into all the plots, but this will look very fake, making the plot too deliberate and absurd, losing the meaning of long-line narration.
And Arthur's talk show was considered by industry insiders to have well balanced the boredom of long-line narration. His mobilization of the audience's curiosity was almost perfect, allowing another kind of hunger to replace their need for small joke humor, allowing them to finish listening to the long story.
Although there was no lack of cooperation from the object of teasing, Bruce, it was also his ability to make the world's richest man so cooperative.
And magically, people didn't find any information about Arthur. He said he had been arrested and imprisoned, and had been locked in a mental hospital, but there were no public reports.
So people started to guess that he was really related to Bruce Wei En, because only the world's richest man could have such great energy to suppress all reports.
The gossip with Bruce Wei En made Arthur's fame go further, which could be called an overnight sensation. People all wanted to know what kind of face was under his Joker mask.
After the opening ceremony, there were 5-6 more programs, mostly family-friendly singing and dancing, and the last program was still Selina singing on stage. When she sang the last part, the audience erupted in cheers, demanding Arthur to return to the stage.
Arthur had to enter the venue again, and Selina walked toward the audience, not forgetting to look back and smile at Arthur.
Arthur ran a few steps and walked over, kissed the back of Selina's hand, and only after Selina went down did he point to the open space and say: "You must call Bruce Wei En a great person, because even with such a beauty accompanying him, he can still appear on the roof of Wei En Tower at 8 o'clock every night... wait, what is the name of that reporter who takes photos for him?"
Then Arthur scolded a sentence in a pretentious manner, and the audience immediately boiled. Facts have proven that gossip is the primary productive force, and the bottom immediately started howling Clark Kent's name.
Clark was naturally at the scene, but he was a bit confused about the development of the situation. Diana touched him with her elbow and said: "Hey, it's talking about you. You are the culprit who made Bruce Wei En give up the beauty."
Soon someone found Clark's figure, and what's more fatal is that he didn't wear glasses today. That face, which was like a god, was even more divine under the illumination of the last sunset.
The crowd of audience immediately started to boo, pointing at Clark constantly. Clark couldn't help but ask: Is it you who brought the devils here?
And Arthur's sentence, "I heard that Batman has a very popular photo recently," once again raised the howling under the stage by 8 degrees.
Clark naturally knew which photo he was talking about, but that photo was not taken by him at all. He didn't know that Batman.
But the bad thing is that the difference between the Batman suit worn by the main universe Batman and Bruce is not very big, and he didn't show his front face. No one knows the difference between them, and no one dares to dream that such a sexy handsome guy can have two on one earth, so everyone defaults to Bruce of this universe.
And because all the famous Batman photos in the past were taken by Clark, this time the most classic one that spread out, everyone thought the source was Clark Kent.
But what kind of relationship do you, Clark Kent, and Bruce Wei En have to be able to take such a photo? Taking a step back, you have seen such a scene in the photo on the spot, can you be single-minded?
Humans understand humans best. Don't say who is more noble than whom. Everyone is a person who sees color and starts intent, is lustful, and is a ghost in color. Can you endure this? Can you still be a person?
If gossip is the primary productive force, then booing is the first instinct of humans. For a time, one side was booing Bruce and Arthur, one side was booing Bruce and Superman, and there were also those who asked Bruce and Selina to kiss on the spot, and those who asked where Diana was, which finally made Clark and Diana flee in a panic.
Accompanied by the sun gradually falling, the opening ceremony under the night was even more boiling. It wasn't until Arthur and Selina both returned to the stage once, and even Bruce went up to speak two sentences, that it finally came to an end.
But this was not the end of the day's activities. Soon, several Wei En Group buses stopped at various intersections to pick up tourists to watch the fireworks of the opening ceremony on the beach.
Because the opening ceremony was restricted and there were too many people, it was difficult to maintain safety, so most family-type tourists with children chose to arrive at the beach early to wait for the fireworks party to start.
Although Cat Getan's pollution problem was solved, there were too many mysterious elements in the seawater, so Atlantis shook its head when it saw it, so various microorganisms couldn't survive here.
As everyone knows, some seaside resort villas will illegally use certain chemical agents to kill microorganisms. The advantage of doing this is that it will make the seawater extremely clear, which is very in line with human aesthetics.
And Cat Getan's beach doesn't need to be illegal to achieve this effect. Even because there are too many mysterious elements, it will emit faint light at night. After a period of publicity, it has become the most famous East Coast beach that surpasses the three-stage beach in Metropolis.
In order to let tourists understand Cat Getan's sea scenery as comprehensively as possible, the municipal government has also developed various sea projects, and in order to distinguish it from those extremely commercial tourism projects in Metropolis, it has specially formulated a sea tourism route unique to Cat Getan according to local conditions.
To say it is unique is indeed very unique, such as taking a boat to see a unique shark that is bigger than an orca, then taking a boat to see a unique orca that is half the size of a blue whale, then taking a boat to see a unique blue whale as far as the eye can see. If possible, you can also take a submarine to see a unique squid that can swallow Godzilla alive.
However, not everyone can accept this uniqueness, so the sea surface is mainly based on some parent-child entertainment activities, such as children's water park by the sea, paddle board training camp on the sea, jet skis, banana boats, etc.
Cat Getan's beach was not originally the kind of white fine sand beach in tropical waters, but the municipal government really spent money, directly air-transporting white fine sand to pave a whole beach.
Of course, this also has risks, such as some sand being taken away by seawater, and being blown away by typhoons that often invade, but this is when Cat Getan's geographical advantage is reflected. When a typhoon comes, it releases dark clouds, and the typhoon walks around when it sees it. It can be said that it is god-fearing, ghost-fearing, and invulnerable to all poisons, and it really kept it for them.
Cat Getan is surrounded by 6 large islands and more than 30 small islands. You can watch the sunset on the large islands, and you can dive around the farther small islands. Bruce and Arthur greeted each other, and Arthur would bring a batch of fish here to let tourists watch.
The local coastline focuses on commercial development. Around the beach are all kinds of restaurants and hotels, but because Wei En is the only one, other hotels are not allowed to occupy the beach privately, so the golden area is a public beach, which is extremely rare in Europe and the United States and is also widely praised by tourists.
Seaside vacation is a tradition engraved in the bones of Europeans and Americans, and Cat Getan's six major beaches are also the focus of Cat Getan's next tourism plan development, so basically everything must be brought with it.
The fireworks display was held at Cat Getan's most famous beach, New Galway. New Galway Beach was the name given to this stretch of sand by the Irish who landed there; he believed this place had similarities to the west coast cities of his hometown in Ireland, following the same naming logic as New York's "New York."
Busload after busload of tourists were brought to the beach one after another. The infrastructure that had been well-prepared beforehand played its part; the vast majority of tourists found restaurants nearby to sit in, and even the last few busloads of tourists were still able to find seats.
The place with the best view and environment, of course, had to be the Bat-themed restaurant under the Wei En banner. That's right, it meant exactly what it said; it was a restaurant filled with bat elements.
Usually, bats aren't associated with food, nor do they make people very hungry, but this restaurant was so popular that there wasn't a single moment without a wait for a table, because this was the real Batcave.
On the far west side of New Galway Beach, there was a cliff that offered a panoramic view of the entire beach, but because the terrain was high and complex, tourists were not allowed up there, and it was also inhabited by the terrifying King of the Great Seagulls.
But no matter how formidable the seagulls were, they couldn't beat the local bats. Bruce had literally hollowed out a cave in this cliff and, by simulating the environment of a rock cave where real bats lived, created a nature-themed restaurant.
The side of the cliff facing the ocean was sealed with seamless glass, making it feel almost like truly living in a rock cave on a cliff. Looking out, besides being able to see the beautiful scenery of the entire New Galway Beach, there were crashing waves beneath one's feet and flocks of seagulls overhead.
Of course, it was unavoidable to occasionally see seagulls, sea eagles, and petrels fighting in a tangle. Don't ask why these seabirds from different levels of the food chain could fight each other; the answer is that the development of Cat Getan's animals doesn't strictly follow the food chain.
Naturally, sometimes when the fighting got too intense and they crashed into the glass, 4-cannon defensive counter-attack metal bats would come to break up the fight, then a Kryptonian would come to break up their fight, then the Amazon Princess and the Ion Hero would come to break up his and their fight, and in the end, there would even be Lucifer, who ran a bar nearby, coming to break up her and their and their fight.
In short, as long as you booked this restaurant, there was always excitement to be seen, so the window seats were packed every day. But on this day, the restaurant announced it would be closed for one day to host visitors from other universes.
Alfred brought the children from Wei En Manor, while Schiller brought Harley. Neither went to the opening ceremony, but instead waited early at the restaurant. Soon, the others arrived as well.
