Chapter 102: The End (Grand Chapter)

On teasing is a widely circulated old joke, and most of the cross talk actors have performed it, but Fang Wenqi and He Xiangdong's performances seem to be particularly successful, and the audience's laughter and applause have not stopped since they went out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Half an hour later, the first paragraph ended, Fang Wenqi and He Xiangdong thanked the audience, and as soon as they came out of the stadium, He Xiangdong's eyes lit up.

"Master?" He Xiangdong exclaimed in surprise, and Zhang Kuoru, who was running quickly, was beside him.

Zhang Kuoru was really distressed about this child, after all, he still came to support him, he also changed into a traditional coat tonight, his hair was combed very neatly, and he looked very elegant.

He Xiangdong was pleasantly surprised: "Master, why are you here?"

Zhang Kuoru touched He Xiangdong's little head, and deliberately calmed his face, and said: "I originally thought that there were not enough of you, and I wanted to come to stand for you, but now it seems that there are quite a lot of you." ”

Chang Sanye smiled and quipped: "This is because we are redundant." ”

The other two Mr. Chang also smiled, they and Zhang Kuoru were old acquaintances, but Zhang Kuoru had disappeared from the music industry for too long, many people thought that this person had passed away, who knew that he was lying on his stomach here, when Zhang Kuoru first came in, they were still startled.

He Xiangdong smiled: "Master, it's great that you can help the field, I thought you were angry with me." ”

Zhang Kuoru said: "Angry, how can you not be angry, you are suddenly leaving, how can I not be angry, I haven't learned much about this skill." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Fang Wenqi, who looked embarrassed, sighed and continued: "Our storytelling is a collection of life and ugliness, smelting everything in one furnace, it seems very simple, the knowledge in this is great, you must not let go of these basic skills after you leave, only after the basic skills are solid, it will be easy to learn books." ”

He Xiangdong nodded seriously.

Zhang Kuoru sighed silently, looked at He Xiangdong lovingly, and said: "Alas, your Three Kingdoms have always been bad, today Master will tell you again, I will say this time again, remember it well." ”

After that, Zhang Kuoru took off his robe and strode directly towards the stage, he wanted to show his apprentice on the stage before parting with him.

Almost all the quyi artists in the backstage have crowded to the entrance door, and the golden mouth and silver tongue are as big as the big horns that were resounding back then, and they have left the art world for many years, and it is very rare to want to listen to his commentary again.

He Xiangdong is naturally at the forefront, this is a master and apprentice, they can't rob it. Although he hasn't been on stage for many years, Zhang Kuoru's strength is still terrifying, and the rest of them went up to say that the audience applauded, booed, and applauded.

As soon as this master went up and spoke, the audience became dumb, and even breathed lightly, for fear of missing a word, nearly fifty minutes of storytelling, not even a single person who went to the toilet, they were all holding back, it can be seen how deep this person's kung fu is.

After Zhang Kuoru finished speaking, unparalleled applause broke out, and then it didn't last long, and a small half of the audience squeezed out to go to the toilet.

Chang Sanye smiled bitterly: "The next thing is my cross talk with Baohua, it's hard for us to talk about him." ”

Fang Wenqi said with a smile: "The most difficult part of our quyi performance is the intersection, at this time the audience is a little tired, and what are you doing in the toilet, you can't stop this if you don't have real kung fu, and only the two of you can do it." ”

Chang Sanye pointed at Fang Wenqi and smiled: "That's why you will bring us a high hat." ”

Anyway, the two of them still played, after all, they are both powerful people, and the audience's response is also very good.

This night, the audience and actors are very happy, the backstage is all old guys who haven't seen each other for decades, you tease me, I make fun of you, stand-up to the group, it is not lively on stage, what is said is hearty, and the audience is also very comfortable to listen to.

In the end, the finale of the show was still Fang Wenqi and He Xiangdong, the two of them came to a big job, selling five utensils, and selling hard work to the audience, it was already midnight at this time, but it was still overcrowded, and no one left.

After finishing speaking, he returned to the show seven times, and He Xiangdong also sang a lot of opera songs, his voice was hoarse, the audience was like crazy, and the applause never stopped.

After returning to the venue seven times, He Xiangdong and Fang Wenqi were too tired, Fang Wenqi stretched out his hands to suppress the restless audience, he exhaled with relief, and said with a smile: "It's half the night, everyone won't go back." ”

"No, I don't go back. The audience answered in unison.

Fang Wenqi sighed: "My Fang Wenqi followed my master to wander the rivers and lakes when he was seven years old, and it has been almost sixty years in the blink of an eye. ”

Speaking of this, there were faint tears in the corners of Fang Wenqi's eyes, and he continued with a smile: "I'm not a famous actor, nor am I in a professional troupe, I'm just an ordinary folk artist, relying on selling art to ask for some money from the audience to buy food." We folk artists have always been looked down upon from the old society to the present, and I have also suffered countless scorns and ridicule, but I have met you today. ”

Fang Wenqi was faintly excited: "I dare to say that you are the best audience in the world, and it is a great honor for us Fang Wenqi to perform for you." ”

......The audience was also very excited, and they all stood up and applauded, shouting loudly, as if they wanted to shout out all the air in their lungs.

He Xiangdong pursed his lips tightly and tightened his face, he was afraid that as soon as he relaxed, tears would fall.

Fang Wenqi stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, gritted his teeth and smiled bitterly, looking at the audience and continuing: "Life is rare to get together, only parting more, this is a long way to go, I don't know when to meet, but do good things don't ask about the future, I Wenqi wishes you all the best." ”

After a pause, Fang Wenqi raised his head, as if he had used all his life's strength to shout: "I, Wenqi and his apprentice, He Xiangdong, have thanked all of you for your food, clothing, and parents. ”

Fang Wenqi and He Xiangdong clasped their fists and bowed to the end, tears sliding down the faces of the old and young at the same time.

"Horn", the lights on the stage are dark, and when they are lit up again, there is no one anymore.

"Fang Wenqi ......"

"He Xiangdong ......"

……

The audience cried and shouted the names of the two, but no one came out from behind the stage, and the old and young left the back of all of them with the deep bow.

Fang Wenqi and He Xiangdong finally left, with full reluctance and helplessness on the road, as Fang Wenqi said, the mountain is high and the road is far away, I don't know when we meet, I wish everyone well.

……

Two days later.

"Bang. The wooden door was violently pushed open, and Qian Guosheng, whose eyes were already red because of anger, rushed in, grabbed Li Tianbao's collar, and asked, "Did you do the things in Liancheng?"

Li Tianbao was startled, he had never seen Qian Guosheng so angry, he was a little stupid at that time, and stammered: "Yes...... Be...... Right. ”

Qian Guosheng's eyes could erupt with fire, and he roared loudly: "My master was also forced away by you?"

Li Tianbao Khan came out, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "No, no, it was they who scolded you on the stage, and I ...... I'm just ......"

"Who made you eventful. Qian Guosheng roared, angrily threw Li Tianbao against the wall, and smashed his fists like raindrops on him.

There was a group of people around the office, but no one dared to come in and persuade Qian Guosheng, who had gone crazy.

Half an hour later, Qian Guosheng was also tired, his body was trembling slightly because he was too excited, he sat on the ground depressed, tears did not stop down the corners of his eyes, bitterness and regret filled his chest.

"Division...... Father ...... "Qian Guosheng sat paralyzed on the ground, looking up to the sky and shouting.

"Division...... Father...... Ah......" Qian Guosheng held his head in pain, and smashed his other hand against the wall, and after a while, there were blood stains on Yin Yin, but he didn't know the pain at all. The master, whom he hadn't seen for decades, left him without saying a word, and he was as helpless and sad as an abandoned child.

"Guosheng, your master's problem is very serious, and it can't go on like this. ”

"Huh, what then?"

"The best thing to do now is for you to report your master's problem, and we will deal with it. ”

"Huh, how can this be done, that's my master. ”

"Eh, you're doing this to help your master, and your master will be like this at most in this life anyway, and he won't be able to go up again. But you're different, you're only in your 20s, your future is bright, as long as you report Master, we have a way for you to take your Master's place. Your starting point is much higher than others, your future future is limitless, what do you want, when you are in a high position, you can also give your master protection, you think about it. ”

"Ah...... Yes...... I...... This...... All right. ”

……

In 1986, two sketches appeared in the Spring Festival Gala, and three appeared in 1987, and every year Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's sketches gradually became the most anticipated programs. In 1988, Zhao Lirong appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, and this actor who was born in singing and criticizing dramas pushed the art of sketches to maturity with her unique comedy talent.

In 1990, an artist surnamed Zhao from the Northeast sang two people for the first time on the Spring Festival Gala, and began to brew his more than ten years of reign in the Spring Festival Gala.

The cross talk that flourished in the 80s seemed to decline overnight after the 90s, and no one listened to it anymore, and the number of sketch shows and audience expectations of the Spring Festival Gala far exceeded cross talk.

Not only in the Spring Festival Gala, but also in other traditional cross talk traditions, other art categories are becoming more and more mature and spreading more and more widely, but cross talk is becoming more and more rigid, and as a result, the people who are killed are losing and retreating, and no one in the folk wants to listen to cross talk anymore, and the folk say that cross talk can't survive at all.

Even the people in the professional troupe are like this, life is difficult, their income is very low without performances, and their life is very embarrassing. Many cross talk actors have changed their careers to acting in sketches, acting in TV, and acting in movies, just to support their families.

At this time of crisis, many cross talk actors have also put forward ways to rescue cross talk, some have held cross talk competitions on TV stations, some have spent huge sums of money to hire people to write cross talk books, and some have constantly combined with pop culture, and there are also professional theater troupes adapted into enterprises, and the management of enterprises is used to activate rigid cross talk, and even some cross talk actors have put forward the concept of "pan cross talk", combining cross talk with sketch film and television, so that cross talk actors can be reborn in new fields.

It's a pity that these measures have not been able to save the decline of cross talk, but have made the status quo more and more bleak, so that in the mid-nineties, cross talk completely fell into a trough, and the cross talk market was frozen, and this traditional old art can be said to be in danger.

At a time when the mainstream cross talk industry is seeking innovation and change to save cross talk, a very old stubborn old man with a smart child has walked through the vast land of the motherland in the past ten years, the northernmost to Heilongjiang, the southernmost to Guangzhou, the westernmost to Xinjiang, and the easternmost to Shandong.

In the past ten years, they have been performing everywhere, some have been on the ground, some have been on duty, some have been driven away, some have been arrested by the city management, some have been blackmailed by hooligans, some have been stolen by thieves, some have gnawed cold steamed buns in the rain in the open air, some have shivered in the cold and have nowhere to stay, and they have also learned from artists all over the country, and have suffered countless hardships.

In 1990, Mr. Li Runjie, a famous Allegro artist and the founder of Li Pai Allegro, passed away.

On January 21, 1991, Mr. He Chi, a famous cross talk writer, passed away.

In 1992, Mr. Wang Fengshan, a famous Allegro artist and the founder of Wangpai Allegro, passed away.

In 1993, Mr. Hou Baolin, a generation of cross talk masters, passed away, and the cross talk industry officially entered the stage of master withering.

In 1993, Mr. Gao Fengshan, a famous Allegro artist and the founder of Gaopai Allegro, passed away.

In 1995, Mr. Meng Xiangguang and Mr. Yang Zhiguang, famous cross talkers, passed away.

In 1996, Mr. Zhao Zhenduo, one of the two Zhao cross talk masters, passed away.

At this time, the cross talk world has fallen into the ice, the cross talk market no longer exists, and the cross talk is becoming more and more decadent, it is quietly dormant, waiting for that person to appear.
