Chapter 448: Du Yuefeng
In that era when television was not yet popular and radio was king, there were four famous storytellers in the world who were very famous and sought after by the major newspapers, and were called by major newspapers as the eternal airwaves. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
These four people are Yuan Kuocheng, Tian Lianyuan, Shan Tianfang, and Liu Lanfang. Of the four, only Mr. Yuan Kuocheng is a member of the storytelling sect, and the remaining three are all from Xihemen.
There are three kinds of storytelling, bamboo board book, storytelling and drum book, but in fact, storytelling evolved from the drum book, it is said that Wang Hongxing, the founder of the northern storytelling of the Ming Dynasty, sang the drum book, but because he wanted to enter the palace to perform, he did not dare to carry the drum strings, for fear of being considered an assassin. So I brought a piece of waking wood into the palace, and I couldn't sing without a musical instrument, so I could only tell the story in the form of a commentary.
This is where storytelling comes in.
The storytelling of Xihemen naturally originated from the Xihe drum, and if you look at the genealogy of these famous storytellers of Xihemen, you can find that their teachers are all from the Xihe drum.
Now the head of the storytelling industry, Gu Jianfeng, Teacher Gu, is from Xihemen, and his apprentice Du Yuefeng is naturally too.
And Bai Kuoshan is a storyteller, and he and Zhang Kuoru are of the same generation.
Du Yuefeng is the most popular storyteller of the younger generation, and now the older generation of storytellers have also taken a back seat, not as hard as when they were young.
Therefore, the current Du Yuefeng is a real star rising in the storytelling industry, and he has pinned the high hopes of countless old-timers.
Du Yuefeng bowed slightly to the audience, pulled out a chair and sat down, and "snapped" the waking wood, and the audience and friends were quiet.
The audience who came here were all frequent listeners, and they more or less understood some of the rules of the storytelling industry, and knew that as soon as the storyteller woke up, they would be quiet, because the other party was going to open the book.
This wakewood is a kind of tacit code between the storyteller and the audience.
Of course, there are also new viewers in the audience who don't often listen to books, these people don't know what the rules are, and they don't care if they open books or not.
Therefore, it is necessary for Mr. Storyteller to be able to control the field, so there are basically no children in this line of storytelling, because children can't hold the field at all.
This is different from cross talk, cross talk is said by two people, children can't suppress the field, adults can. Storyteller is a person who says, Mr. Storyteller needs to comment on human morality, comment on the state of life, which adult wants to listen to children talk about this thing.
Children can't even suppress words as soon as they come on the stage, of course, this is talking about the storytelling situation in the old teahouse bookstore in the past, and now most of the storytellers are telling stories on the radio, so there is no pressure to say anything.
In addition to the awakening wood, there is also a set poem, the role of the set poem is to attract the audience's attention to the actors, and when the audience starts to listen to your set poem, then people will be quiet, and you can open the book.
Of course, there are many tricks in the set poem, such as opening your mouth and not making a sound. Sometimes the audience in the teahouse is very noisy, and the actors on the stage are not famous, so they can't hold down the scene. Actors can't always slap the table and yell at the audience to make the house quiet.
At this time, the actor can open his mouth very seriously and keep silent, his face is full of eyebrows and expressions, and his mouth is also open and closed, but there is no sound at all.
At this time, the audience will feel very strange, what is the storyteller on the stage talking about, they are curious, and naturally they will quiet down to satisfy their curiosity.
At this time, the actor said the next few sentences of the final poem, and he could open the book by taking a picture of Xingmu.
Of course, this is a small skill, and what is even more powerful is He Xiangdong's kind, with a single lip, every word can be sent to the audience's ears, which can make them quiet in an instant.
The set poem is also full of flavor, so that the audience can accept and like you instantly, and the following book is easy to say.
Of course, not everyone has this skill, especially the first one, and few people know it now. In the past, storytellers and cross talk artists had to practice loud and far-reaching, because there was no audio equipment in those days, and hundreds of spectators in a venue had to rely on the actor's fleshy voice to serve.
This can't be done without a little effort, but now the level of technology is good, and there are audio equipment in all venues, and the audience can hear the actors' mouths. Although the conditions of the old society are difficult, there are really many capable artists, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the environment creates heroes.
Du Yuefeng saw that the audience had quieted down, he smiled slightly, and opened the book directly, saying that the book does not have to say the set poem: "Today we want to talk about the story of Bao Longtu Bao Zheng, where is this Bao Zheng from? Hefei County, Luzhou Prefecture, Jiangnan, there is a mountain called Jinping Mountain in this county, and there is a village called Baojiazhuang on the mountain. The first rich man in the village is Bao Zheng's father, this grandfather's surname is Bao Huai, the family is very rich, known as Bao million, he is kind by nature, so he got a nickname called Bao Shanren......"
This is the opening of the book.
"The Case of Longtu Gong" is an old book, but it also depends on who said it, the taste of what different actors say is different, and the audience's feelings are also different.
Du Yuefeng can become a popular student in the storytelling industry, his strength is naturally not to be underestimated, and since the opening of the book, the audience has all been in a trance, the audience is extremely quiet, and everyone is holding their breath to listen to him.
Teacher Gu looked at the disciples on the stage with great satisfaction, he nodded with great relief, turned his head and asked the old man Bai Kuoshan beside him: "Old man, do you give me a palm?"
Bai Kuoshan can be said to have watched Du Yuefeng grow up, Teacher Gu attaches great importance to his apprentices, and often brings Du Yuefeng to these old-timers' homes, so that Du Yuefeng can ask the old-timers for advice, in fact, Bai Kuoshan also taught Du Yuefeng a lot of things.
Bai Kuoshan had a smile on his face: "Hehe, Xiao Du is good, it seems that he has worked hard during this time, and the heat is deeper, haha, not bad." ”
Teacher Gu had a smile on his face even more, his apprentice could be praised by his seniors in the industry, and he was also honored as a master.
"This grandmother adopted the junior, but she didn't dare to let the second grandmother see it, because the child was seen by the second grandmother as soon as he was born...... Smack......"
As soon as the waking wood sounded, leaving a button, Du Yuefeng stood up and bowed to the audience, and walked down without saying much.
The audience resounded with earth-shattering applause, much warmer than Jiang Hai's bamboo board book, Du Yuefeng's popularity was too strong.
