Chapter 7 The status quo is worrying

can open his mouth to ask a child for a joke, Ma Chunchang is really anxious. www.biquge.info There are more people in the world who can write articles, and there are many people who can write dramas and operas, but there are very few writers who write cross talk jokes. Now it's hard to see Li Feiyang such a prolific writer, any cross talk joke is so exciting, how can the old man bear it?

Now not only do they have few cross talk jokes, but they also feel worried, but even Zhu Linmao and Chen Feisi are also worried about their sketch works, and it is difficult for them to create excellent new works for a while. The two came to celebrate Li Feiyang's admission to college on the one hand, and they also wanted to trouble Li Feiyang to get a few more sketches.

In the previous life, in fact, people who liked ancient opera a little bit would know a little bit about traditional opera forms such as cross talk, storytelling, drumming, and opera.

It happened that Li Feiyang was still a real martial arts master who liked traditional culture in his previous life. When he was young, he watched the most at home, which was to play tricks and perform by folk artists in the streets and alleys, such as stepping on stilts, playing monkeys, singing big operas, singing big drums, singing pendant books, etc. Crosstalk and storytellers are the same as them, they are all performing arts rooted in the bottom.

Either it is said that art is inseparable from life, and nothing else is fine, if you create opera, you can rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find information and find literature to make a big drama, but cross talk is different, your combination of the background of the same era, can make the audience or listeners of this era laugh. Otherwise, if you detach from life to create cross talk jokes, it is estimated that you will not be far from death!

The contrast between a non-famous cross talk actor in a previous life and a cross talk actor in the system is a clear example. Although the cross talk of non-famous cross talk actors is a bit wild, basically a joke rather than cross talk, but people are down-to-earth and can catch the audience's laughter, regardless of whether it is orthodox cross talk, at least the audience likes it, as an actor, this is success.

Li Feiyang listened to a lot of cross talk jokes in his previous life, old jokes and new jokes, adding up to five or six hundred paragraphs.

People who listen to cross talk have heard a lot of modern cross talk, and most of them will find some traditional cross talk to listen to, but although some people say that there are more than 1,000 paragraphs of traditional cross talk, Li Feiyang has heard more than 200 paragraphs, and he has seen the books on traditional cross talk that have been collected and sorted, and there are only about 300 paragraphs on them, and there are many similarities. In general, although there are a lot of traditional jokes, even if you count the passages that were lost due to the lack of timely rescue, there are not as many as the more than 1,000 paragraphs that Guo Fatzi said.

However, Li Feiyang estimates that some traditional jokes are performed live in small theaters, and the cross talk industry does not want to be broadcast by outside media, which is also possible.

In general, Li Feiyang has heard of traditional jokes, plus new jokes, hundreds of jokes. At this time, Ma Chun often begged himself for jokes, but it was inconvenient to refuse, so he drank the wine that Ma Chun often clinked glasses of, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, I am not very good at writing cross talk jokes, I can only say that I try to find time to catch up with a few jokes, but I don't guarantee whether the stage effect is good or not!" ”

Ma Chunchang was overjoyed: "That's it!" I don't ask you to write as many paragraphs as you can write us a year, as long as you think about it, there will always be time to write a few. ”

Li Feiyang said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, I can write this cross talk, but if you really want to develop cross talk, the key is your own efforts in the cross talk industry!" Cultivate a little more newcomers, go to the bottom to exercise more, and go to the street practice stalls more! This is the only way to enrich the creative materials and improve their on-site control. Otherwise, if you keep getting paid in the system and eating your old capital, I think your future is worrying! ”

In the old society, learning quyi was a very boring and sinful thing.

After following the teacher for most of his life, he can learn something real from the teacher

At that time, the conditions were difficult, and in order to learn a little skill and support their families, the apprentices also worked hard.

Moreover, the threshold of the quyi industry at that time was also high, and there was no way for peers to admit it without a little real talent.

In Li Feiyang's previous life, the old society said that cross talk had to go through three doors before it could be regarded as a real entry.

These three doors are, BJ learns art, TJ practices stalls, and Jinan kicks the threshold.

When did the old-timers in the Jinan quyi industry pass, you are really out of school. After these experiences, the actors' work is almost complete, and at this time, they are telling stories and cross talk, so that they can grasp the psychology of the audience more in place, and they can be more mature artistically.

But now that the actors in the cross talk industry have entered the system, these folk experiences will naturally be gone. The performance on the stage alone is obviously not grounded, and it is a bit difficult to be recognized by the audience.

Ma Chunchang didn't expect Li Feiyang to know so much about their cross talk industry, and suddenly thought of Li Feiyang's current status, and he must have participated in some quyi symposiums, and it is normal to have an understanding of the problems in the quyi world.

smiled bitterly at the moment: "It is said that the inclusion of cross talk actors in the system troupe is a good thing for the survival and life of our cross talk actors, but from the perspective of cross talk development and inheritance, there are some drawbacks!" Before joining the troupe, some actors worked hard to practice basic skills and create new jokes, but once they entered the system, they began to slack off. I always want to live with my job, but my original vigor is gone! ”

Li Feiyang smiled: "That's because they don't have the risk of starvation!" ”

Ma Chunchang was stunned for a moment, thought about it, it's really such a truth!

But after thinking about it again, I felt that Li Feiyang's words were a bit extreme.

Ma Chunchang said: "Although under the persecution of the harsh living environment, the artist's skills and creative ability can be stimulated to the greatest extent, but if all the artists in the world are in such a living situation, it is estimated that in a few years, these skills may be lost!" The conditions are so difficult, if they are not given a living guarantee, who will be willing to do this business? ”

Li Feiyang has no good advice on this point, the times are different, and the audience's appreciation level and direction of appreciation have begun to change. The old traditional skills, as long as some art forms closely related to the times, must be new and changeable, and adapt to the tastes of modern people, otherwise there will be a danger of being eliminated.

In Li Feiyang's previous life, cross talk declined as a whole, and it was far from being able to do sketches.

To say that the sketch is a sitcom, it has a wide range of materials and is easy to create; But cross talk is also based on small things in life, and it stands to reason that the difficulty of creation should not be greater than that of sketches, but there are fewer and fewer preferred cross talk jokes, which has to make people question the ability of actors in the cross talk industry.

Ma Chunchang is also at a loss for this situation, "It's difficult to say cross talk, and it's even more difficult to create new cross talk!" Feiyang, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have begged you! ”

Li Feiyang smiled and said, "Teacher Ma, I can't stand your words!" You didn't beg me, you looked up to me, so you let me do this! ”

After carefully calculating the time, Li Feiyang said to Ma Chunchang: "Teacher Ma, in this way, I will give your cross talk team a cross talk joke a month, as for who will act, then you will have to discuss it yourself, who is suitable and who will come!" Of course, in the meantime, I hope that your in-house cast and crew will also create more new works. I'm just a drop in the bucket, I can't save the fire! ”

Ma Chunchang said in disbelief: "One paragraph a month? Feiyang, you're not kidding me, are you? ”

Li Feiyang saw Ma Chunchang's surprised face, and said with a smile: "How come? One paragraph a month, there will never be less. But there has to be a deadline! ”

Ma Chun often asked, "How long?" ”

Li Feiyang said: "Within twenty-five years, I can provide you with jokes stably, and after twenty-five years, I will no longer set foot in the cross talk circle." ”

Ma Chunchang was a little strange: "Why do you want to set it in twenty-five years?" ”

Li Feiyang said with a smile: "The first reason is that after twenty-five years, I estimate that you can't afford to pay my manuscript fee!" The second reason is that after 25 years, I don't think I will have time to create any cross talk jokes! ”

Ma Chunchang didn't quite understand what Li Feiyang said, and he didn't ask much, his head was a little dizzy because of the incident that Li Feiyang promised to give him a paragraph a month, shook his head, and prepared to go to the bathroom to sober up.

Ordinary cross talk actors, there are only about a dozen cross talk works created in a lifetime, and some can't even create a cross talk in a lifetime, they all eat the capital of their ancestors and point to traditional jokes to live.

Even if it is recognized as a few cross talk masters, their lifelong innovative works are only one or twenty paragraphs, which is already very remarkable. And now Li Feiyang actually said that he would give their troupe a joke a month, which made Ma Chunchang happy and unbelievable. I even think that Li Feiyang is a young kid who is a bit braggadocio after drinking some wine, and he can't say if he boasted about Haikou in a moment of excitement.

Li Feiyang smiled when he saw him leave unwillingly, and didn't care about him, looking at Chen Feisi and Zhu Linmao beside him, "Brother Zhu, Brother Chen, do you two have anything to say?" ”

Chen Feisi was thin-skinned and said with a red face: "Feiyang, just now you said that you provided Mr. Ma with a cross talk joke for a month, is it true?" ”

Li Feiyang smiled: "This is not the point of your question, right?" ”
