This cross talk collection is a rescue project for traditional cross talk, and it is necessary to record and preserve those traditional cross talk jokes, so that they will not pass away with the old artists, and some jokes can only be heard but not seen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now the flow of cross talk is still a new cross talk dominated by the top ten comedy stars, advocating praise or satire, which is what we call evening cross talk. The traditional cross talk that has survived was recorded by famous artists such as Ma Sanli and Hou Baolin a few decades ago, and then there was no more.

This time, the cross talk highlights are real traditional cross talk, and the actors we are looking for are also actors who can really play traditional cross talk.

There are also a group of old artists who have been talking about cross talk since the old society, many of whom have retired at home, and some are scattered among the people. When the film crew went to visit Mr. Yu Baolin, Mr. Yu's toilet was full of honeycomb coal, and he was also burning the briquette stove. Later, in 1998, Mr. Baolin took the lead in running the first folk cross talk theater in Tianjin.

The place where the video was recorded was in the small theater of the Tianjin Audiovisual Museum, and the decoration was also in accordance with the traditional style, the background of the stage was red, a large fan was hung on it, a palace lamp was hung in each corner of the stage, and a pot of green plants was placed at the door of the stage.

The actors also changed into traditional Chinese coats, and a small table was set up in the middle of the stage, covered with fuchsia flannel, and then fans, waking wood, and handkerchiefs were arranged according to the old traditional rules, and everything was according to the old rules.

The recorded theater can seat more than 200 people, and there must be an audience under each recording, because cross talk is a kind of performance facing the audience, and you must adjust your performance according to the reaction of the audience.

This time it's not the same as the recorded cross talk of some TV stations, many TV stations don't have an audience at the bottom, and the cross talk actors on the stage memorize the words, and then match the laughter and applause in the later stage, which is called memorizing lines, which can not be regarded as cross talk.

And this time the recording was broadcast on Tianjin TV, while recording and broadcasting, traditional programs such as "Wu Pendant" and "Spit Lotus", which were well known to the public in later generations, were really new at the time, which is actually a very sad thing.

The actors used in the recording of the first volume are basically from Tianjin, old artists in Tianjin, and some people once laughed at the top ten comedy stars selected in 85 years, none of whom are from Tianjin, and the name of Tianjin cross talk nest is no longer worthy of the name.

But this time, he slapped those people in the face, and those old gentlemen and artists went out of the mountain together, took off their undershirts, big pants, and changed into traditional coats. The fan was thrown away and replaced with a folding fan. Throwing away the slippers and replacing them with cloth shoes, it really gives people a glimpse of what is called the birthplace of cross talk.

Needless to say, the artistic level of these old artists is naturally familiar, and the traditional jokes have long been familiar with them. As soon as the program was broadcast on the TV station, it immediately caused a huge response in Tianjin.

Those audiences who have long been accustomed to the cross talk of the party have really seen what is the real cross talk this time, what is the mat talk, what is the burden of opening the door, how to get into the work, how to shake the bottom, how to hang up, what is the return, what is the paving mat and shaking steadily, what is the real lecture and singing......

This is the real charm of cross talk.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the show didn't last long. It was severely criticized by some high-level figures in the opera industry in Beijing for resuming traditional cross talk in Tianjin, saying that this was a retrogression, saying that these dilapidated things were polluting the public spirit, and that such things were not allowed to appear on the stage again.

As a result, the recording was forced to be interrupted for a while.

Later, the film crew introduced emergency measures to eliminate a number of controversial traditional cross talk, and only performed some irrelevant programs, and also convened experts and scholars, as well as major media, and the masses to discuss traditional cross talk, and finally everyone thought that this was a display of the old society's human customs and market culture, and should continue to record, which can be regarded as barely using the power of public opinion to withstand the pressure.

Later, in order to avoid trouble, the opening highlights also appeared when it was broadcast again, with explanatory texts such as "dross and essence coexist", "show cross talk skills" and so on. As a result, the first volume of the collection was recorded, and the second volume would begin in '97.

Alas......

This is the cross talk world.

……

The New Year is almost over, and the outsiders who came to Beijing to work have also gone home, and the huge city of Beijing suddenly became empty, and the Xiangwen Society officially closed its doors.

It's the Chinese New Year, He Xiangdong is full of sorrow, he begins to think about the master, every year from childhood to adulthood, the Spring Festival has been spent with the master, and now the master is in Shanghai, but he doesn't dare to go over, this heart, really don't mention how awkward.

He knew that the master was doing well in Shanghai, Zhang Yushu often talked to Bai Qiang on the phone, and He Xiangdong also heard the news about the master from Bai Qiang.

He Xiangdong really wanted to celebrate the New Year with his master, so he asked Bai Qiang to contact Zhang Yushu to find out what the master was talking about, and Bai Qiang agreed, and a few days later, Bai Qiang sent a message, saying that it was estimated that it would be no fun.

He Xiangdong didn't dare to really go to Shanghai to test the master's bottom line, so he could only silently mumble a few stubborn old men, and then slammed his head on the ground, facing south, and kowtowed to the master a few times, which was regarded as a gesture of affection.

This year, he spent Chinese New Year's Eve at home, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten very early, and he ate it at three o'clock in the afternoon, it was Tian Jiani who came to eat with him, and it was very simple, the dumplings made by the two by hand, but the food was very warm.

After eating, after sitting for a while, Tian Jiani went back, she still has a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to eat at home, this is not like a word.

After Tian Jiani left, He Xiangdong was left alone. He took out the separate gifts that Tian Jiani gave him back then, the bamboo drum stick, and rubbed it carefully.

It was already dark, only a little light remained, and there was snow outside, and it was white, and the sky and the earth became very clean at this moment, and there were no more pedestrians as far as the eye could see.

He Xiangdong held the drum in his hand, looked out the window at the snow, his eyes were calm, his face was expressionless, and he whispered: "Hello, 1997." ”

After the year, the migrant workers returned to the city, and the city of Beijing became lively again, and the Xiangwen Society officially opened, and the business was indeed much better this year, with dozens of people watching cross talk every day, and sometimes they could pass sixty.

But before He Xiangdong could be happy for long, Fan Wenquan brought him the latest news.

"What? Let me go to Tianjin to participate in the traditional cross talk recording?" He Xiangdong asked Fan Wenquan in surprise. (To be continued.) )
