There used to be masters of cross talk.

He Xiangdong gave a very important speech in his life at Peking University, he didn't understand lectures, and he didn't understand speeches, but he knew cross talk.

He wanted to tell the cross talk to these people at the scene, and even wanted to use the media at the scene to tell the cross talk to people all over the world.

What he said today is not a cross talk joke, but two words of cross talk, he wants to tell everyone what cross talk is and what is a cross talk artist.

It has been more than 150 years since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and there are too many people and too many things that should not be forgotten, but these people and these things have been forgotten for too long.

It is these things that have been forgotten.

From the moment He Xiangdong knew that he might come here to give a lecture, countless vivid images flashed in his mind, and he knew what he was going to say from the beginning.

He Xiangdong was standing to give a lecture to everyone, and he was standing the whole time, although there was a chair next to him, he never sat down.

He Xiangdong showed a relaxed smile on his face and asked the students at the scene: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are all top students of Peking University, and you must all have ID cards. ”

The classmates are laughing, is this all next to each other?

He Xiangdong continued: "So, let me ask you a question, you should all have heard cross talk, right? So, can anyone answer me what cross talk is?"

He Xiangdong looked at the big guy with a smile.

Most of the people at the scene fell into deep thought, and if they wanted to define cross talk, they really couldn't get out for a while, and even the professor who studied traditional culture on the spot frowned slightly.

It is not difficult to define it, but it is difficult to make the definition accurate and concise, and it must also be highly academic, which is a bit difficult.

Just as everyone was thinking, the audience didn't know who shouted: "Teacher He, you just asked two questions. ”

He Xiangdong was stunned.

The audience, who was still in deep thought, suddenly burst into laughter, just now He Xiangdong also said to ask everyone a question, but he opened his mouth and said two, and there are really people who can find fault.

He Xiangdong touched his nose and smiled bitterly, he turned his head and shouted: "Security, security, escort this guy out." ”

"Haha......" everyone laughed.

He Xiangdong also explained with a smile: "Forgive me for not going to school, and I don't know how to count." I didn't go to school, but I'm not proud at all. ”

"Haha......" the crowd laughed again.

After the joke was over, He Xiangdong restrained the smile on his face and asked, "Are there any students at the scene who can give answers?"

Everyone was silent for a while, it's not that everyone didn't have ideas in their hearts, it should be said that most of the people in the audience already had the answer in their hearts, but they didn't say it.

He Xiangdong looked around twice with a smile, and suddenly stood up in the middle of the crowd A man wearing glasses was very gentle, he smiled at He Xiangdong and said, "Hello Teacher He, I have a little idea in my heart, and I want to share it with Teacher He." ”

He Xiangdong also said very politely: "Please speak." ”

The man organized his language a little and said: "Cross talk is a kind of folk rap art, which uses speaking and teasing as the main performance skills, supplemented by the unique structure of cross talk jokes to make people laugh and has considerable social value. ”

After saying that, the audience applauded, and He Xiangdong was also applauding.

He Xiangdong praised: "It is very well said, the definition is very comprehensive and accurate. ”

Someone in the audience said: "Of course, this is Professor Cai of our traditional culture research." ”

He Xiangdong was slightly surprised: "It turned out to be a professor, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Professor Cai waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, the contemptible and humble opinion makes Teacher He laugh." ”

He Xiangdong hurriedly waved his hand.

Professor Cai added: "What I said just now is just that I gave a definition of cross talk from an academic point of view, but I also want to know Mr. He, as a professional cross talk actor, how do you define cross talk." ”

He Xiangdong nodded, but he didn't see him think about it much, and opened his mouth and said, "Tools for eating." ”

Everyone was stunned.

Even Mr. Cai, who asked the question, was stunned.

That's too straightforward, right?

The performance form of cross talk, the performance characteristics of cross talk, the value and significance of cross talk, these don't say anything, just a tool for eating, don't talk about cross talk, isn't it also a tool for eating to pick bricks?

Professor Cai's face was full of surprise, and he didn't expect He Xiangdong to say such a sentence.

He Xiangdong stretched out his hand and said to Professor Cai, "Professor Cai, you sit down first." ”

Professor Cai nodded and sat down, he waited to hear He Xiangdong's explanation.

He Xiangdong explained: "It's all cross talk is an art, what is art. Art is about my ability, and art, I exchange this ability for money, which is called art. Art is art and ability to exchange one's ability for money, which is called art. ”

After listening to He Xiangdong's explanation, everyone opened their mouths in surprise, and they couldn't close it.

This explanation is too crude, who explains that art is so simple and rude? Isn't art very elegant in the eyes of everyone? Aren't artists very persistent and lofty?

He Xiangdong's explanation is too vulgar, right?

Everyone's three views are about to be subverted.

Even Professor Cai was stunned for a long time, and he didn't know what to say for a long time, but if he thought about it, what He Xiangdong said was not completely unreasonable.

Of course, He Xiangdong also saw the doubts in everyone's hearts, and he said, "Do you think I am too vulgar in interpreting art?"

"Yes. The crowd agreed.

He Xiangdong said: "Art is not for money, you let those artists drink the northwest wind? You let them have no food, and you see how many people are still willing to stick to the art they talk about all day long?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was choked, but they always felt that it was wrong, art is to be rich, but it can't be said that art is for money.

He Xiangdong continued: "Any art starts from money, and art is built on money. ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

He Xiangdong said: "How did cross talk come about? The production of cross talk is inseparable from ventriloquism, the original ventriloquists are standing behind the screen to perform, some imitate animals, some imitate nature, and some imitate the neighbor's second aunt, so naturally, their performance skills also have to learn to sing. ”

"Behind the screen, there is one person performing, and there are also two people performing, which is called 'dark spring' in our industry, but many of these artists later walked out of the screen, came to the audience, and began to perform face-to-face to the audience, they completed the transformation from dark spring to bright spring, this is the prototype of cross talk. ”

"So why did the artists come out of the barrier, why did they perform face to face to the audience? The reason is very simple, because they make a lot more money performing outside the barrier than they do inside, so you look at ......."

Everyone present was stunned, as if this was really the case.

He Xiangdong smiled slightly, and continued: "Why is there cross talk, why are there so many cross talk jokes, these things are not from heaven, they are created by the cross talk predecessors themselves, why do they create so many cross talk jokes, why do they have to slowly improve the form of cross talk performances, just because they can make more money by doing so, so do you still think I am wrong?"

Everyone was stunned, but no one refuted.
