Chapter 129: Eating Noodles and Cosmic Smoke (Part II)
"Noodles? Smoke? β
Chen Feisi looked at Li Feiyang with a puzzled expression, "Do you want to create a play with the title of this noodle and cigarette?" β
Li Feiyang said: "That's what I mean. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Hey, tell me, how did you come up with the idea?" Several people came to be interested.
Li Feiyang groaned: "Teacher Ma, I have a cigarette-themed stand-up comedy here, since you and Teacher Wang can't partner this year, I feel that this stand-up is more suitable for you." β
Ma Chunchang said: "You first tell me what this is about, and let everyone hear it." β
Li Feiyang took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Ma Chunchang: "Teacher Ma, try the local cigarettes in our hometown in Tangcheng, it feels good." β
Ma Chunchang stretched out his hand to take it and said with a smile: "Feiyang, you are not very old, you started to learn to smoke at such a young age, this habit is not very good." He looked at the cigarette box and found that it was a red paper cover, a cigarette case with a hard clamshell, with the stars of space as the background, and two extremely beautiful brush fonts written on the front and back: Universe.
"Cosmic brand cigarettes? Hey, that's the nameγγγγγ Domineering! β
Ma Chunchang took the cigarette case and looked at it a few times, and felt very curious about the design of the cigarette box. The cigarette box has been opened by Li Feiyang, and there are still a few cigarette sticks with filters left in it, Ma Chunchang took out one, lit it with a lighter, took a puff, squinted and tasted it for a long time, exhaled, and praised: "This cigarette is good!" β
He picked up the cigarette case and looked at the production address on the cigarette box, "Tangcheng Cigarette Factory, Tangcheng City, Zhongnan Province?" Feiyang, is this really from your Tang City? Not bad, not bad! However, what does this have to do with cross talk? β
Li Feiyang said with a smile: "This cosmic cigarette is just produced by our Tangcheng cigarette factory, the original name of the cigarette production is called 'Old City', I think the name is not good, so I discussed it with the manufacturer, and changed the name to 'Universe', this is still the first batch of cigarettes after the name change, I took a few to the capital, and now there is not much left." β
Li Feiyang took out a stack of manuscripts from his backpack and said: "Before coming to Beijing, our secretary of the municipal party committee gave me a task, because the cigarette factory was in recession, the secretary of the municipal party committee told me that I must make the cigarette factory famous, so that our factory can be brought back to life and save the old enterprise that is about to go bankrupt." β
Chen Feisi said strangely: "Your municipal party secretary believes in your ability so much? β
"What am I capable of? But I tampered with the trademark brand of cigarettes on my own initiative, how can I be held responsible? Li Feiyang pushed the manuscript down in front of Ma Chunchang, "Mr. Ma, this is a paragraph I wrote before, why don't you show it first?" β
Ma Chunchang took the manuscript and first saw a name: Universe brand cigarettes.
"Feiyang, are you advertising? Or do you want to write a joke? Ma Chun often cried and laughed, "Your suspicion of advertising is also obvious!" It's a bit unreliable to look at the name! β
Li Feiyang said with a smile: "If you can make a name for yourself as a company in your hometown, and at the same time entertain everyone, why not?" β
Ma Chunchang didn't say much more, opened the manuscript, and read it page by page, because Wang Yuan was next to him, he also took the opportunity to lean his head over and watch it together.
"Cosmic Brand Cigarettes" is a stand-up comedy performed by Mr. Ma Ji in Li Feiyang's previous life at the Spring Festival Gala in 84, which is a joke that satirizes dishonest merchants in society, and deeply criticizes the unhealthy trend of merchants at that time to deceive consumers by cheating and cleverly setting up names, which had a great impact at that time.
This stand-up joke is not very similar to the previous stand-up jokes, the previous jokes are just actors on stage telling everyone about a Coke in an objective narrative, there is not too much body language, and the impression to the audience is just listening to a story, and the sense of involvement in the audience is not very strong.
However, "Cosmic Brand Cigarettes" is a reversal of the traditional stand-up mode, the performers actually learned the style of film and television actors' performances, and started to write articles in terms of costumes and styling, so that the audience quickly entered the plot, and the funny effect was amazing.
At that time, as soon as "Cosmic Brand Cigarettes" was broadcast, people all over the street were interested in Cosmic brand cigarettes and wanted to know if there were really Cosmic brand cigarettes in the world.
In fact, before the advent of this paragraph, there was no such brand as Universe brand cigarettes, which was a product made up by Mr. Ma Ji.
However, after this joke was broadcast, some shrewd businessmen seized the business opportunity and changed the cigarettes of their cigarette factory to the universe brand. It was only later that due to the system and management personnel, this Cosmos brand cigarette factory slowly went downhill and did not return to its former glory.
Li Feiyang is very familiar with Lu Peijin, the director of the Tangcheng Cigarette Factory, and Lu Peijin's son Lu Linbang is Li Feiyang's classmate, because Li Feiyang likes to smoke, this Lu Linbang classmate often goes to the tobacco factory to wander, and when he comes out, he takes out a few 'old city' cigarettes, and when he returns to school, he pays filial piety to Li Feiyang. He is the son of the factory director, what is the matter of taking a few cigarettes from the factory? Therefore, the workers in the factory turned a blind eye and ignored him.
In fact, Li Fei** is not short of cigarettes and smoking, but this can be regarded as a piece of people's mind, so he can only accept it. As soon as he received this, Lu Linbang was very happy, and felt that he and Feiyang Boss were three points closer than others, so he would go to the factory every weekend to steal a few. After a long time, he was known by his father Lu Peijin.
Lu Peijin was not angry, at that time, the entire Tang City knew Li Feiyang's name, and the rumors that Li Feiyang had many ideas and ideas had spread all over the streets and alleys.
Lu Peijin found Li Feiyang and said, "Feiyang, our cigarette factory can't be opened anymore, and the wages of the workers are almost unpaid." You have to come up with an idea of how to survive in our factory, otherwise Lu Linbang will never have a chance to steal cigarettes from the factory for you to smoke in the future! β
Although Li Feiyang had no intention of letting Lu Linbang go to the cigarette factory to steal cigarettes, he smoked the stolen cigarettes after all, and now that the "lost owner" came to the door, he had to help him.
So Li Feiyang suggested Lu Peijin: "Change the name of the cigarette." β
Although Lu Peijin didn't understand why changing the fate of a factory had anything to do with the name of the cigarettes, he still followed Li Feiyang's suggestion and changed the "Old City" brand cigarettes to the "Universe brand".
When Li Feiyang suggested changing the name of the cigarette to the name "Universe Brand", he had already thought of the idea of launching the paragraph "Universe Brand Cigarettes" as soon as possible. When he entered Beijing this time, in addition to the drafts of several novels, he also brought a few jokes of cross talk sketches with him. In the past two days, I was thinking about finding a channel to meet a few cross talk film and television actors, but I didn't expect that before I could find it, the actor automatically came to me, but I didn't have to look for it.
Ma Chunchang read the manuscript with his eyebrows fluttering, and glanced at Wang Yuanyuan, who was shocked, Ma Chunchang said: "The writing is good, I have a lot of ideas, but I don't know how the scene works?" β
Li Feiyang confidently assured: "Want to know the effect? This is easy to do, just rehearse it on the spot. β
Sometimes, whether a cross talk joke is funny or not, there are two main factors, one is the quality of the joke itself, and the other is the stage skills of the actor who performs the joke.
The same joke, one is a cross talk master performance, and the other is an inferior actor who makes a living from meat jokes, and its stage effect and motivation and appeal are very different.
Fortunately, Ma Chunchang and Wang Yuanyuan are both rare master-level cross talk artists in China, and the control of stage performances and the grasp of the timing of shaking the burden are unmatched. This stand-up comedy allows any one of them to perform, and it can achieve good results, so Li Feiyang is still very sure of this classic joke in his previous life.
"Okay, then let's find a place to rehearse after dinner!" Ma Chunchang patted the manuscript and said.
Wang Yuanyuan said: "Lao Ma, I feel that this paragraph is very dramatic, it can amuse boring people, and it can also satirize some social issues, the key is that the intensity of the satire is just right, and it should be able to pass the review." β
Ma Chunchang said: "It's too early to say, eat, eat, and let's see the effect after rehearsal." β
Looking at the appearance of Ma Chunchang and Wang Yuanyuan, the manuscript handed to them by Li Feiyang seems to be really a bit of a doorway, Chen Feisi is a little unable to sit still, Feiyang, you see that you have given Teacher Ma a joke to them, where is the other repertoire you mentioned? β
Li Feiyang said: "The other is a sketch that you film and television actors are familiar with, now say it, the effect is not obvious, let's find a place after eating, I will give you a careful explanation at the scene." β
After thinking for a while, Li Feiyang said: "However, two big brothers, my repertoire is a great test of your acting ability!" β
Zhu Linmao said: "In terms of acting, we still have some of our own routines, you don't have to worry about this." β
