Chapter 386: A Trip to Mianyang
After the matter was completely settled, in the next few days, Liu La and others began to devote themselves to the intense production of the script. The script of the cross talk www.biquge.info is not easy to write, Guo Dagang has said it countless times, and there are always viewers who mail the cross talk jokes they wrote to his house, but after Guo Dagang read it, he found that most of them really can't be used. Even if some of them can be used, it is difficult to say that they are high-quality products, and there is no way to put them on the stage.
Let's just put it this way, don't look at the people who talk about cross talk, there don't seem to be any cultured masters, but those who write cross talk, especially those who have written good cross talk repertoire, are actually many famous writers and writers.
Like the early cross talk, a large part of the traditional repertoire was written by those down-and-out talents at that time. And after the book was handed over to the cross talk artist, the complicated and difficult Chinese parts were removed, and more straightforward and easy-to-understand dialogues were left, and some of them have become classic repertoire now.
At the time of the Republic of China, even a great writer like Lu Xun liked to soak in the cross talk restaurant, and it was rumored that some jokes had been written, but there was no way to verify the specific truth or falsehood. What can be verified is Shen Congwen, this great writer is a person who really likes cross talk, not only has written cross talk works, but he also has a lot of relationship with the stand-up king Liu Baorui, and he is a close friend.
Later, after Liu Baorui passed away, several disciples of Shen Congwen also wore filial piety for him. It's a pity that a generation of stand-up kings has been dead for so many years, and the bones have not been found. Later, when the Cultural Revolution ended and dug up the corpses, more than 20 bodies were dug up, including professors from Tsinghua University and Peking University, and generals who fought the battlefield, including Liu Baorui, all of whom were persecuted to death, and it was impossible to tell who was who just by looking at the bones......
Not to mention modern cross talk writers, Mr. He Chi, a professor at Nankai University, a person who has been on the battlefield, is also a famous literati. This is for Ma Sanli, Ma Sanye wrote cross talk, and wrote many popular works such as "Buying Monkeys", "Starting at Ten O'Clock", "The New Director Arrives".
Mr. Liang Zuo, a bachelor's degree from Peking University, a professor at Beijing Language Institute, is a well-known writer and playwright. It can be said that it is this one who picked up Jiang Kun with one hand, and Jiang Kun's two most well-known cross talks are the two paragraphs he said with Tang Jiezhong in the Spring Festival Gala, "Reverie in the Tiger's Mouth" and "Anxious", both written by Liang Zuo. In addition, he also helped Niu Qun and Feng Gong write the work "Thief Company", which is also very good-looking.
If you say that you don't like cross talk, you like to watch TV series, then you should have heard of Liang Zuo's works. "Sister Idler" is quite interesting, but if it is the most famous one, it is the sitcom "I Love My Home", which was definitely the hottest TV series at that time, and the ratings of these programs are not known to be many times higher than those of these programs now.
Therefore, people who write cross talk usually have to be such ruthless characters. If you don't have a degree from Peking University, Tsinghua University, or if you are not a professor at such and such a university, then you don't want to do this job, you really can't do this. This is not only a matter of character shaping ability, but also involves a lot of professional knowledge, which needs to be learned little by little.
Of course, there are indeed some geniuses who may not have such a high level of education and a deep understanding of creation. But the works he writes are good-looking, and the jokes he says are fun, there are not many such geniuses, and there may not be one in a hundred and ten years, and it may not be possible to do cross talk if he finally produces one.
Fortunately, Liu La's luck is not bad, there is such an existence by his side, not an outsider, Liu La's master Guo Dagang.
From all aspects, Guo Dagang has to be regarded as a genius in cross talk, and he also has his own unique understanding of the creation of cross talk. With the help of the master, coupled with the experience of the old man to control the scale, gradually, the works that Liu La and Mr. Zhang were going to talk about in the Spring Festival Gala began to take shape.
After several revisions, before the time agreed with Zhang Xiaohai came, Liu La finally gave him the work. Not to mention, Zhang Xiaohai also thinks it's pretty good after watching it, what he is most worried about is the problem of scale, and he is afraid that the actors who come out of a small theater like Liu La will not be able to grasp it.
But now when he looks at the finished work, it is completely beyond his expectations, and the grasp of scale in the work is actually in place. All the baggage is pointed, and there is no problem of over-embodiment as in the theater. To put it bluntly, it is sassy but not dirty, and the scale can be performed on the stage of the party.
Since there is no problem with the work, Zhang Xiaohai, the chief director, is very satisfied, and the matter is naturally settled, and it is officially determined that Liu La and Mr. Zhang Wenshun will participate in the live broadcast of CCTV's 2008 Spring Festival Gala.
This matter is not only a verbal agreement, but also a contract, and Liu La also knew for the first time that actors who dare to love the Spring Festival Gala also have to sign a contract. The contract contains a lot of requirements, such as a non-disclosure agreement, not to divulge the content of the show. There are also two months before the Spring Festival Gala, and actors are not allowed to go abroad, etc......
On the last page of the contract, there was a content about Liu La and Mr. Zhang's performance fees, and the two of them were exactly the same as 5,000 yuan, and they were given cash when they signed the contract. According to director Zhang Xiaohai, the two of them took the highest level of this Spring Festival Gala, the quotation price of a first-line star is 5000-8000 yuan, and the same price as Liu La is Taiwan's king Chou Dong, who is also 5,000 yuan.
Taller than them are the sketch kings Zhao Ben Shan and Song Dan Dan two teachers, Liu La's impression that they should be the sequel to the Baiyun Black Earth series this year, and the two of them took the highest 8,000 yuan for a star.
In fact, all the people who come are big names, and they have to be worth millions of dollars to perform wherever they go, and no one really cares about these thousands of dollars. What I care about is CCTV itself, maybe it's more of a sense of formality, making the Spring Festival Gala look more formal.
After the matter was just settled, I didn't wait for Liu La to breathe a sigh of relief, and then the matter on the crew's side finally came to an end. After talking for two weeks, Chen Long and others finally reached a consensus with the military region that the Mianyang Military Region, where Xie Wenliang is located, will provide them with free help in filming, and at the end of the film, it will be marked with the content of thanking the Sichuan Military Region and the Mianyang Military Region.
After the matter was settled, Chen Long immediately called the person in charge of the crew, and after booking the ticket, the next morning, the crew gathered and flew towards Sichuan...... (To be continued.) )
