On a busy weekday morning, someone was rushing to work and wanted to find a shared bicycle. There was no shared bicycle all the way, but he found a lonely bicycle on the side of the road. I thought I had missed it, but then I thought about it and was horrified: Why was this car the only one left?

This is a scene that often occurs in daily life. The precise capture and ridicule of common phenomena formed the prototype of the jokes told by the talk show actor Ya Fu on the Tencent variety show " Talk Show and His Friends ". On the

stage, as a part-time stand-up comedian, Duckling slowly shared jokes about work, blind dates, and celebrity idols with a comfortable smile, bringing a gentle and powerful expression of fun.

A female talk show performer uses a unique female perspective to observe and narrate the plight of women in a humorous way, allowing the audience to understand and perceive issues that may not have been noticed before from the universal jokes. Perhaps this is the unique energy of duck down.

In August 2024, Yalu said in the first episode of "Talk Show and His Friends" that she had a blind date with such good conditions that people thought she was "very lucky and missed it." She But she said, "As a mature single woman, I know that it is impossible to encounter such a good thing on a blind date...Have you ever seen that kind of lonely, parked shared bicycle in front of the subway station during the morning rush hour? , don’t even drive it. If you really can’t help but drive it, I advise you to drive it as soon as possible, and don’t wipe the chair clean before driving it.”

has been talking about talk shows for 6 years. This time, after the clips of the online talk show were broadcast through the program, Duckling's performance spread on the Internet and gained a lot of attention. Afterwards, when she recalled the creation of the story, she said, "When I wrote it, I thought it was a very good joke. I figured out the point of sharing bicycles very early. I thought of different scenes to express it, and later I found it More suitable for the blind date scene. "

Duck Feather's performance focuses on not defining women. In the program, Yalu talked about how she was rejected by her husband because of her overseas work experience during a blind date. He thought she could not take care of her family and children. She retorted: "Isn't the biggest social responsibility of my age to build the motherland and society?" The audience cheered. Outside of the

program, she is responsible for overseas business in a company and often holds meetings during the day. Talk shows are just a side job at night or on weekends. She once worked in Africa for half a year and is still a star-chasing girl. She told Jiupai News that it is good to have a full-time job. Because she has a guarantee, she will not put too much pressure on herself when working, and she can also create more material for talk shows through work.

The following is Yafei’s narration:

[1] I don’t want to make the audience laugh just by mocking myself for being poor and ugly. There are many difficulties in life

I thought of the “shared bicycle” in 2019, when I was riding a shared bicycle in the subway station. At times, especially at night or in the morning, there are no cars on the roadside. The only one left is probably broken, but I always take a chance and give it a try.

I think this point is worth writing about. Later, I met a boy who was excellent in all aspects. Everyone was surprised when they found out he was single. After I got to know him a little better, I discovered that he had a lot of reasons to explain why he was single. So I placed these two things in the blind date scene. I think this is a very good joke and suitable for online dissemination.

After two episodes of the program, you may find that I still like to talk about what really happened in my life. In a recent program, I also talked about my hair loss and leg hair problems.

For example, "My hair can find different reasons to leave me every day. It will cause hair loss if you stay up late, greasy food will cause hair loss, wash your hair frequently will cause hair loss, and if you don't wash your hair often, it will also lose hair... I said this is too fragile. , because I have never heard of any of the above things causing my leg hair to fall out.Right, you said you stayed up all night, woke up early and touched your legs, and there was hair on your hands. It’s impossible not to have such a good thing. The hair on your legs is too difficult to fall off, even if you spend money to do it. ”

Later, the conclusion was “Really, the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves in my hair, and the spring breeze blows my leg hair again.” It feels quite humorous.

Looking back, I have been doing talk shows for 6 years and participated in two talk shows. The online competition of the show was not very effective, which was quite miserable. At that time, for talk show actors, being on the show was the only chance to be discovered.

In 2018, I came into contact with talk show for the first time. I watched a performance at that time. After the show, the staff told the audience that they could sign up to speak, so I signed up to speak on the open mic for a while. The first time

spoke, the effect was not good. I lacked some skills and talked a lot of nonsense. After probably more than a year of speaking, I felt like giving up. Talk shows are not like singing. Singers don’t care about the feedback from the audience, but you tell people a joke. , the other party doesn't respond, which means he is not interested, and it will be difficult for you to maintain a good state and continue talking.

I didn't think of myself as a talk show actor at that time. I still vaguely remember that during that period, I had a joke that high school boys thought. My face looked like a TV set. Later he said that he liked me. He didn’t know why. Maybe it was because he liked watching TV.

It wasn’t until 2019 that I went to the “Goat” (club) to speak for the first time. At that time, I thought, this is the time. I won’t talk about it if it’s not good. I didn’t expect that the effect was very good. I thought the funny points got feedback from the audience, and I also received encouragement from some veteran actors.

So, because I am special, I am not a full-time talk show. As an actor, I basically rely on myself to figure out my performance in the early stages. It takes a long time to digest the embarrassment of being cold. At this stage, I especially need to gain recognition from the audience and seniors, and then I slowly figure out myself. style.

Talk show actors can amuse the audience by telling self-deprecating jokes about poverty and ugliness. This is indeed a dilemma, but I think there are many dilemmas in life and are not limited to these. I hope to tell the story from the truth. My own troubles.

I admire Hulan very much. He presents a very wise image on stage. He does not put himself in a low position and can communicate with the audience on an equal footing. This degree is actually difficult for me to grasp. In other words, I should be a typical text-based contestant who finds new angles and perspectives through observations in life.

[2] When I get angry, I write the offended things into jokes

After speaking on the talk show, I tried many things before. Something I haven’t tried before. For example, I received a scam call. From the first sentence, I knew he was scamming me, but I wouldn’t hang up. I just had a fun chat with him to find out how he scammed me. . Every liar’s technique is different, I’m willing to listen.

It’s like going home from get off work, I know which way is the closest, but I want to try a different route every day and see something different. In the process of being exposed to new things, new ideas and emotions will inevitably arise, and these things may become a joke.

said that after doing talk shows for a long time, I started to pay attention to my emotions. When I was in a bad mood before, my first reaction was to make myself happy as soon as possible. But now, I will study why I am unhappy. Once I understand it, I can create something.

For example, after being offended, I will think about how this person offended me. For example, I get very angry when I hear words like "little girls don't have to work so hard." After that, I start to analyze the reasons: first, I don't like the lifestyle that others think of me; second, why do I only say this to girls? Because they think men and women should do different things.

Once I find this point, I can write it out, but I can’t change everyone’s ideas. The thing I can solve is that I won't get angry when others say such things to me, because I have written you in the joke and I don't care about these people anymore. Of course, this may just be a "spiritual victory" ".

My principle in writing jokes is that I will not let others guess who I am writing about. I won't write the original thing, I will change the scene and the expression. Because I am a comedy creator, I must perform structural processing based on the material.

But in terms of work content, it doesn’t actually have much impact. I just work in the office normally. One advantage of working two jobs is that you don’t have to spend too much time trying to please your boss, and you have more confidence to stick to what you want to do.

In a talk show, I can talk about what I want to talk about, and I don’t have to talk about styles and content that I don’t like just to please the audience.

[3] I am moved by the resonance of women

When I participated in "Talk Show with Her Friends" this year, I felt much calmer and less nervous than when I participated in the competition in previous years, because this competition system guarantees at least two performance opportunities.

In addition, the industry has become more globalized in the past two years. For actors, appearing on shows is no longer an inevitable path for career development. If you do well offline, you can also gain a good reputation online.

I hope that audiences can go to offline theaters. This industry must always pay attention to offline. Because the actors only have five or six minutes in the show, and many viewers watch the competition through one or two sentences intercepted from short videos, the online competition is very fierce. It is difficult to win the attention of the audience for more than ten seconds with a complete work. It's not very durable.

offline theater, the audience bought tickets and invested the cost, so that everyone can focus on my works. I think it’s good if you can have one or two sentences online that are remembered by the audience.

I have seen many people say this year that there are many excellent new actresses on the show. In fact, many people have been talking offline for several years. What they lack is not ability, but an opportunity to be seen. Although the audience in the talk show industry is objective, it is still an industry where the minority decides the majority. There are only a few people who make decisions. It is a bit like the workplace and is not very friendly to women.

This year we did a special show called "Three Good Sisters", which was an all-female talk show. In fact, we have tried to perform all-female performances in the past two years, but such opportunities are very rare. Because in the talk show industry, most of them are male actors. For example, in a platter show, there may be only one female actor.

There are no gender restrictions when selling tickets for the "Three Good Sisters" special show, but most of the audience are women. The offline talk show itself has a female audience. During the performance, the audience is relatively objective, because laughter is a thing that is difficult to fake. Regarding things, I will put myself in a position of service, hoping to bring them happiness.

The performance that impressed me deeply was the Women’s Day performance. The effect was very good. I made a small observation on the stage without any processing, and the audience started laughing.

also thought that in the jokes in the first episode of the program, most people started laughing after the point about "sharing bicycles", while girls would start laughing at the point "How could a blind date be such a good thing?" . Because everyone resonates with me, they feel this and feel that I have said something that resonates very well. In a venue with a mostly female audience, there will be many such moments.

I like that moment very much. I throw out a joke and the audience laughs, which shows that they understand. Once, my friend came to listen to the "Three Good Sisters" special performance. After listening to it, she told me that someone finally expressed her thoughts and she felt very touched.
