Coquettish Rebirth

"How to do this?" Jia Hongjian was stunned for a moment. Seriously, for saving art and so on, let him pay for it. He can do it. Let him give advice on how to make traditional art that is not valued popular. Yes, he really might not understand!For example, in addition to cross talk, various folk arts are also traditional arts. Kunqu opera and the like are fine, but it is very difficult to mix various small operas. For example, there is "Lenin in 1918" in Guo Degang's cross talk Is this kind of joke used to describe this kind of thing-in order to make money, traditional theater troupes can only turn foreign stories like "Lenin in 1918" into operas.

If Jiang Kun came to Jia Hongjian for other traditional arts, Jia Hongjian really had nothing to do. After all, in this kind of thing, if you really need to see the crux of the matter, you still need to see it. There is no way for outsiders to give too much pointers.But coincidentally, he, Jia Hongjian, is really a fan of cross talk, and he likes to listen to cross talk when he’s fine. It’s not like he didn’t spend a few hundred dollars to buy a ticket to watch the cross talk of Guo Degang in later generations. .

So, at this time, Jia Hongjian said directly without laymen: "First of all, many people in our cross talk business have not experienced the education of professional classes since childhood due to various reasons, and they changed their careers halfway. As for the cross talk actor, in fact, he has no creative ability, and can only rely on other people's jokes..." As soon as he said this, Jiang Kun's face was a little embarrassed at that time-he belongs to this type!

He changed his career halfway, and he didn't learn Guankou or the name of the dish.He hasn’t learned anything like Taiping lyrics, he hasn’t learned anything from old jokes, and he hasn’t been educated by the masters, so he doesn’t know much about some of the internal secrets in many cross talks—the industry of making jokes , especially in the cross talk industry in the past, they all paid attention to the master and the apprentice, so how to make jokes can make people laugh.to be honest.Such a funny way.How to bury the burden, how to lay the burden in this way, how to shake the burden, all of which have a lot of experience.How about translating this experience into modern language?It is equivalent to "humorology".It's like movies and TV if the plot is funny.The same principle will be used in many places!For example, a simple thing is not funny, but after repeated many times, it will become funny!

When these principles are not known.Aren't these cross talk actors just acting as a performance tool, relying on other people's scripts, and then performing it themselves makes people feel funny?For example, Jiang Kun is such a typical example. He relies on Liang Zuo's jokes to make jokes, and Liang Zuo is the one who wrote comedies like "I Love My Family"!

While Jia Hongjian was talking here, Jiang Kun's face turned ugly. After all, he was listening here, and it felt like Jia Hongjian was criticizing him without naming him.For this, Jia Hongjian did not stop to explain, he just wanted to see how Jiang Kun reacted, or how Jiang Kun's self-cultivation was.After talking a lot on his own, he found that although Jiang Kun had an ugly face, he didn't mean to interrupt or walk away.At this point, Jia Hongjian had to say that from the perspective of making things happen, Jiang Kun was better than Guo Degang—you can see it just by looking at the reaction after being criticized, no wonder the industry Few people say that Jiang Kun is bad, but Guo Degang has so many enemies!But it is also possible that Guo Degang's criticism of others also has a meaning of "smashing"-this is a cross talk term, which means talking bad things about their own people.Maybe this kind of confrontational posture is also a kind of smashing, and it is also a kind of hype, isn't it?

Here, after Jia Hongjian had finished speaking similarly to criticizing Jiang Kun, he changed the subject, and then said, "So, the first thing to do is to use some traditional funny methods and so on. Sort it out. Crosstalk used to be a traditional master-to-apprentice transmission, and if you weren’t an apprentice, you couldn’t learn other people’s skills. I think we can break this point in the new era. After all, these things are often very basic, but more often It requires different actors to have talent to perform, even if the same joke can be performed differently every day, this is the true meaning of cross talk actors..."

"Oh, you mean...to turn the previous one-on-one teaching into a networked...social school? Let everyone who is interested know about it?" Jiang Kun's eyes lit up suddenly stand up. "That's right. In the past, the master didn't let outsiders know that it was to keep his job. Others know how to do it. What do they rely on for food? But our cross talk industry is in a downturn now. There are fewer and fewer people learning folk art and cross talk, and more and more football players. Many, under such circumstances, of course, we must spread knowledge as much as possible, and expand the scope of material selection from folk art student classes to the whole society..."

Jiang Kun slapped his thigh suddenly at this time: "Okay! Well said!" He was so excited that he wanted to hug Jia Hongjian and kiss him—in his understanding, this kind of summary He must be the one to do it!In the cross talk world, there are always people who don't think highly of him, especially those who have a family background. They always think that he seems to have made his debut halfway, because he has missed a few homework, and he doesn't know many traditional things.Before, he kept saying that to talk about new cross talk, it’s best to get rid of traditional things. This is also to create a background for himself-if everyone abandons traditional ones, isn’t everyone on the same starting line?

Now if we do what Jia Hongjian said, then he has contributed a lot to cross talk, and has a huge effect on the inheritance of traditional cross talk. Who can say he is wrong?Speaking of it in the future, without him, many old gentlemen's skills would not be passed on, so who can say that he is an outsider?And after all these years, he has already passed the stage where he needs to rely on his works to fight for his fame. Now he goes to various places a few times a year, and with just a few cross talks back and forth, he can say that the audience will not hear the repetition for the rest of his life. Yes, in this way, you can earn endless money. Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be great to do something to preserve your reputation?

"Master Jia, what you said is great. Wait a minute. I'll find a piece of paper to write it down!" Then Jiang Kun started looking for paper and pen everywhere, but he didn't bring it with him. Later, he found a waiter. I borrowed a pen and paper to record Jia Hongjian's words on the dinner table.After recording, he asked Jia Hongjian with sparkling eyes, "Master Jia, can you continue?" Cross talk, in a way, is not down to earth, it is a bit divorced from the masses. Generally speaking, there are many reasons for this matter. In order to make cross talk good, you have to go to the party, but sometimes the party is too directed If you are strong, it is easy to break away from the masses..."

As soon as Jia Hongjian said this, Jiang Kun was startled immediately, "Oh, Young Master Jia, you are quite expert! Really, sometimes when I go to the tax department, it's that they need us to go. The cross talk about taxation, but where is the cross talk aimed at the taxation department? Other departments are the same. How can it be about afforestation today, but next year it will be about various departments, and there will be jokes. After more times , I can only... but return to the theater, is that okay? The current cultural performance market...is not good?"

"It's not good, but many newcomers have to start from the grassroots to gain experience, otherwise they won't have the opportunity to perform, and if they don't have the opportunity to perform, they don't have experience, and if they don't have experience, they can't get ahead, right? It's like a performance at the grassroots level." How many times can this happen? In fact, it’s better to go to the grassroots, for example, to go to the community to perform for old men and old ladies, five yuan and ten yuan a ticket, and you can travel all over the capital in five years. Anyone can have a rich experience. Don’t you have performance experience? And it’s been a long time, besides the salary of the folk art troupe, isn’t the actor also able to earn more?” Jia Hongjian said.In fact, Guo Degang was able to come out, but didn't he also have 10 years of grassroots acting experience?Without a wealth of grassroots performing arts experience, Guo Degang would not be able to have the "30-year-old age, 60-year-old craftsmanship" commented by Mr. Shao Ma!

Regarding this, Jiang Kun thought for a while and nodded to record it.He knew that running grassroots performances was too tiring, and he couldn't make much money, but even so, it was good for newcomers to do it—anyway, people with his status didn't have to run away, of course You can consider it impartially!Even if someone has no creative ability, but has rich performance experience, how can the newcomer learn a few of his Jiang Kun's skills, and also have rich acting ability, can he tell a joke well?This way it will always be better than now!

"Next, I think we can gather all the cross talkers in Beijing and Tianjin, those who are still alive, and then we will sort out some traditional jokes and so on, let them see if there is anything that can be improved Keep up with the times, right? I think you are quite suitable for this kind of central coordination. You can even invite these people to give a lecture together, so that you can talk about Tell me about some techniques..." Jia Hongjian said.

As soon as Jiang Kun heard this, he immediately jumped up!That's right, Ma Sanli, Ma Ji and the like are still alive now, but they may disappear at some point, especially Ma Sanli, who is of the Shouzi generation!According to the seniority of cross talk, starting from the eight virtues, it is the "Deshoubao civilization", that is, after the eight virtues of cross talk, it is the generation of longevity, and the generation of longevity is Ma Sanli, and the next The generation of Baozi is Hou Baolin, Chang Baokun, etc., and the generation of writing is the first batch of quyi troupe students after liberation-Ma Ji, Hou Yaowen, Shi Fukuan and their generation. The next generation is Jiang Kun's generation.

Although Jiang Kun's seniority is younger, those older than him are not in good health. Almost no one has performed on stage these years. He is really qualified to do this, and he can do this kind of thing If it is good for cross talk, it is good for his personal reputation, it will be of great benefit!

"Master Jia, thank you so much! Listening to what you say is better than reading books for ten years!" Jiang Kun looked at the recorded things excitedly, and hurriedly thanked Jia Hongjian. (To be continued..)
