Chapter 17 The opening of the pestle
He Xiangdong got off the field, Fang Wenqi and Huang Hua came on the field, stood in the painted pot, and clenched their fists
"Cross talk artist Fang Wenqi. ”
"Cross talk artist Huang Hua. ”
"Salute to our food and clothing parents......"
The entertainers bowed and the audience applauded.
Fang Wenqi teased, Huang Hua teased, in traditional cross talk, the entertainer is standing in the table, complimenting, if you are holding the teaser, so standing in the table is also to give more stage and attention to the entertainer.
Those who love to watch cross talk know that the actors always stand sideways, and no one stands directly in front of the audience. This is because he wants to play the role of a comedian and the audience, and he must always pay attention to the situation and state of the comedian and the audience in order to make adjustments.
There are words in the cross talk industry that are three points of teasing and seven points of praise, this is definitely not a promotion of actors, they used to be praised, all of them were masters, masters, masters, and the most unfortunate ones were also a senior brother.
People have to be more familiar with this cross talk than you tease, understand and know how to praise you, so that even if Tease performs on the stage, he can give you back, a good comedy actor is very important.
At the beginning, when the money was divided after a performance, the comic actor took a large portion, and the comic took a small portion. Later, as many comic actors became famous, they felt that these audiences were all coming for his fame, and it didn't matter what the actors were doing, and slowly the actors were getting a small amount of money.
For the sake of status and money, many well-cooperated tease and praise actors have fallen out, and the cross talk industry has also lost a lot of talents, fame and profit. There is also a special paragraph in traditional cross talk, "On Tease", which talks about these things.
It is true that there are many comic actors who have become famous, but the praise actors in this are absolutely indispensable. In the cross talk performance, the teasing is said with the teasing, so that the teasing has more opportunities to perform.
Sing a peaceful lyrics, even if people sing better than you, you can't sing it, you have to leave the stage to the comic actors. said Duan Guankou, funny and lively, and he didn't dare to move, he couldn't distract the audience.
In the long run, the possibility of being popular is of course greater than that of teasing, but there are many comic actors who have become wrists who don't admit their previous accounts, but look down on them, which really shouldn't be.
The relationship between teasing is said to be "son and mother" and "one head sinking", and the son and mother are teasing each other between the actors, mainly amused. One head is mainly used to tease the actors, supplemented by the cooperation of the actors.
In fact, according to the artistic level of cross talk, Fang Wenqi is far superior to Huang Hua, but Huang Hua is praising Fang Wenqi, the reason is also very simple, Huang Hua can't tease, he can't say it, he can only please, Fang Wenqi is good at teasing, he is a character who has learned all twelve homework in cross talk.
Fang Wenqi said: "Your father said, come and call 'Dad', call whoever dies, I want to see who your child is, and scare my uncle." ”
Huang Hua said: "You don't talk nonsense, this is not next to each other at all." ”
Fang Wenqi said again: "Your father said again, 'Come and call Dad, I see who is dead, come, you must shout.'" You shouted Daddy, but your Daddy didn't die. ”
Huang Hua was also happy and said: "You don't come to this set, it's your uncle who died." ”
Fang Wenqi shook his head and said, "No, my uncle didn't die, it was a monk in the temple of Miaofeng Mountain who died." ”
Huang Hua tweeted Fang Wenqi and said, "I'll you." ”
The two performed the traditional cross talk "Tethered Doll", which involved ethics, and was attacked and banned by the mainstream industry, but no one cared about these two people performing on the street, and the audience responded very well, and the performance was over, the applause was still thunderous, and the applause was endless, Fang Wenqi and Huang Hua bowed again and again to thank the audience.
At this time, He Xiangdong also picked up a small basket, and he was responsible for making money. Performances like theirs, or cross talk in small teahouses and small bookstores, are all after performing a section and paying a full fee, while in the grand theater, admission is based on a ticket, and you can only enter after giving money, which is different.
There is also a harmonious name for the performance, called "the rain comes to disperse", the wind is halved and the rain is all over. The open-air environment is not covered, it is windy and rainy, and the people who listen to cross talk are gone, who do you find to pay for, it is not easy for folk artists to perform.
The jargon of playing money is called "opening the pestle door", and the second time the money is called "opening the second pestle door", basically after opening a few pestle doors, the cross talk will be over, and the artist can also pack up and go home.
He Xiangdong walked up to the audience with a small basket, and said as he walked: "It is not easy for a few men to say that it is not easy to talk about crosstalk, and the level may be average, but the spirit is enough, and we have also sold our strength." There is nothing else, inside and outside the field, two old and one young, the boss, the apprentice, I am down-to-earth, the city wall is all high and depends on the help of friends, you are all good friends who go a thousand in the south and eight hundred in the north, and a knife is purple and bloody. We are not very capable, but we also refer to this to eat, you give you three melons and two dates, go home, serve porridge, and do not forget your benefits. ”
Opening the pestle is also one of the twelve lessons of cross talk, this craft is not simple, it depends on the master to teach it personally, and it is not a simple job to let the audience take out the money in their pockets.
Therefore, there is a special business mouth for making money, and the words are used to tie up the audience, the jargon is called "Gangkou", and the paragraph He Xiangdong said is. There is such a sentence in the cross talk door, the pestle is gold, the mouth is silver, and the living head is copper. This is to illustrate the importance of making money, because you can't live without money. There are also powerful pestle doors, and Yu Chunming, a cross talk predecessor in the Northeast, can open six pestle doors at one time, which makes peers admire it very much.
Of course, if there is praise, there will be loss, when playing money, some people want to run, as soon as he runs, he will run with others, and the rest of the people will also be affected and will not give money, then the artist will be hungry.
So the words that hurt people came out, such as: "It's not easy for a few brothers to serve you, let you look at it in vain, it doesn't matter if you turn your head and go, in case you knock out a hole in the crowd, it will be a dead person in the family, you can do a big thing, go back to the funeral in a hurry, and grab the filial piety hat to wear." This kind of bad talk is called "scraping the outline", and the one who says that it is difficult for him to say good things is called "fishy outline".
There are also smart artists who will first make a "bolted horse pile", tethered horse stake, as the name suggests, is a stake for tethered horses, so that you can't walk, the general artist will use his hands to compare the posture of catching the king, saying: "Rank, we have a person here, his wife is good with others, but people can't say who it is, otherwise people will be anxious." He's leaving, and when he's gone, I'll tell you who this man is. When these words come out, people just stand until they die, otherwise their hats will be green.
"I'm tired, I'm sorry for you. ”
"Affected, affected. ”
"There is no gentleman who does not raise an artist, and there is no one who is not holy, tired, tired. ”
He Xiangdong sent money to the audience one by one, but he didn't give it when he encountered it, and he didn't force it. It stands to reason that they have sold their strength to say cross talk, and the audience is also lively at the bottom, and they should pay for the service, but there are those who take advantage of it and refuse to give it, and you have to listen to it for free, and you have no problem.
The most annoying thing is that there are those who enjoy the service and don't give money to satirize those audiences who are willing to give money, there are no gentlemen who don't raise artists, there are no parents who are willing to give money, the artists are starving to death, where can they listen to cross talk.
After a round of money, He Xiangdong looked at the basket and saw that there were mostly one and two cents in the basket, occasionally there was a five-cent one, and it was rare to see a dollar, a total of about four or five yuan, today's income is already good, He Xiangdong looked at the master and said: "Probably loaded, medium." "In the jargon, the load is four, the middle is five, that is, you have received about four or five yuan, you can't directly say how much it is, otherwise the audience will see that you have earned money, then we will not give it next, then there will be no way.
Fang Wenqi nodded at him, meaning that there was no need to open the second pestle.
