Chapter 140 Obsolete

Luo Minglang drank a sip of white wine, put down his glass, breathed comfortably, then looked at He Xiangdong and Xue Guo, and exclaimed: "What you two say in the crosstalk is so good."

He Xiangdong put down his chopsticks and said politely: "I dare not be accused of this. We are all young actors and our level is still as good as you. You are so proud of us."

Luo Minglang shook his head and said, "You are so amazing. To be honest, I have loved listening to crosstalk since I was a child. In the past, the radio station used to play crosstalks from those masters. Ma Sanli, Hou Baolin, and Liu Baorui, I listened to them cutely. But I don't know what happened later, and I don't know if I have watched too much or other reasons. I'm not funny now when I show crosstalk."

"I don't like watching the ones on TV. Sometimes when I'm idle, I go through the videotapes of the masters, and I still think they're good. This time I held an art show. I asked a friend of mine to contact the actors. He told me that he found a crosstalk in the art troupe and asked me if I wanted it. I didn't think so at that time, so I just said I'll come."

Luo Minglang became a little excited: "When I first met you, I saw two young people. I thought that these two half-year-old children could still speak crosstalk. If it weren't for the fact that people had come, I would have driven you away. Haha, fortunately, you really gave me a big surprise. I really didn't expect you to be able to say so well. Oh, it's really good that I haven't heard this feeling for many years, especially the one you sang, it's great."

He Xiangdong listened with a smile. When he heard Luo Minglang praise him again, he quickly said, "You are so polite. Our behavior emphasizes three-point funny and seven-point praise. The quality of crosstalk is seven-point in the supporting actor."

Luo Minglang immediately smiled and said to Xue Guo: "Yes, I have heard this. Xue Guo, Teacher Xue, it is so good to praise it. I feel very comfortable when I read it."

Xue Guo laughed loudly when she heard this, and the meat on her face was squeezed. He raised his wine glass and said, "Then what else can I say? Come, let's go."

Luo Minglang also smiled and raised his glass: "Come on, let's go."

The two of them drank all the time, but He Xiangdong was having a lot of fun. He was so poor that he finally had a good meal, so he didn't care about those. He had never changed his personality since he was a child.

Luo Minglang put down his wine glass and continued to say to He Xiangdong: "I look at your clothes, tables, etc., are you talking about traditional crosstalk."

When asked about himself again, He Xiangdong could only put down his chopsticks helplessly and said, "Yes, I just talk about traditional crosstalk, including trolling dolls and eight major change careers, which are all traditional programs."

Luo Minglang said: "I have never heard of the doll. I remember Hou Baolin said before that the eight major change of careers seems to be quite similar to what you said."

He Xiangdong said: "Shundowa has not been acting for many years. The eight major changes in careers were written by our crosstalk predecessor Zhong Ziliang. Later, many crosstalk predecessors have changed their stories, and Mr. Hou Baolin also said that he named it "change career."

Luo Minglang nodded and said, "That's it. When I was a child, I could see those old gentlemen saying that now there are new crosstalks on TV, which is strange. Why are traditional crosstalks rarely seen on TV now?"

He Xiangdongdao: "The reason is very simple, they won't."

After hearing this, Luo Minglang did not move his chopsticks anymore. Instead, he frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "It makes sense not to talk about traditional crosstalk. After all, they are all old people. Nowadays, people like me who grow up listening to crosstalk should still listen to it. I'm afraid other people don't know much."

He Xiangdong put down the chopsticks again. So, today's meal was not good. He looked up at Luo Minglang, smiled and said, "Don't many people like it? When Xue Guo and I were performing in front, you saw the enthusiasm of the audience. You know your employees best. Are they all older people who grew up listening to crosstalk?"

"This" Luo Minglang hesitated. Yes, the reaction before was so enthusiastic, so no one listened to it.

He Xiangdong sighed softly and said, "You don't blame you for your idea. This is all caused by the crosstalk world. Most of the people who perform on TV now do not know traditional crosstalk. They can only say that it is outdated and no one listens, otherwise what should I do? So is traditional crosstalk outdated? I can tell you responsibly that it is outdated."

"Ah?" Luo Minglang was stunned.

Even Xue Guo, who was eating vegetables, looked up in shock.

He Xiangdong looked at the two surprised people and repeated the sentence: "Traditional crosstalk is outdated. However, he has no skills in it, so give an example." He Xiangdong pointed to Xue Guo and said, "This is my partner Xue Guo, huh, spirit, he looks better than Andy Lau's and his dog."

"Puff" Luo Minglang suddenly burst out laughing.

Xue Guo waved his hand and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, why don't you say that?" This is the professional quality of an excellent crosstalk actor. You can't let the words fall to the ground. You see, Xue Guo catches them very naturally.

He Xiangdong continued to say to Luo Minglang: "Look, are you happy? This is the technique of traditional crosstalk? Crosstalk has experienced so many summaries of old men over the past hundred years. It has refined all the ways to amuse people with our language. This art is already very mature. Traditional crosstalk may be outdated, but these techniques are not available. Just like Boss Luo, you used to listen to old men's crosstalk, and masters like Hou Baolin and Ma Sanli also said new crosstalk. Are you happy? Are you still happy with the new crosstalk played on TV now?"

Luo Minglang was stunned. He simply thought that crosstalk was not funny now, but he didn't think so much. Today, when he heard about this industry insider, he seemed to understand something.

He Xiangdong continued: "The reason is very simple. Those old men understand these techniques of amusing people, but many of them don't understand them now, so the effect is not the same. In fact, there is no distinction between traditional crosstalk and new crosstalk. Our current traditional crosstalk is in the old society, and at that time it was new crosstalk. The most essential thing about crosstalk is to make the audience happy. Now it is the first place in educational criticism, and they are all crosstalks of the evening party type, which are separated from the essence."

"On the yi side, this is what the mainstream community requires to say. On the other hand, many of these crosstalk actors have not learned the skills. Some people have changed their careers until middle age, and they have not even learned these skills for a day. Can he say it? What he says is Coke? Will the audience love to listen to? He may say that I am so funny and poor in my daily life, and my friend is cute and jokes with me, but this does not mean that you can just say crosstalk. These are two different things."

After hearing He Xiangdong's words, Luo Minglang's expression became much heavier and he exhaled a long tone. Xue Guo's expression was also very bad. The current situation in the crosstalk world is indeed like this, and everyone knows it in their hearts, but no one has said it. He Xiangdong's naked fig leaf was opened, which made him, a mainstream crosstalk actor, feel very uncomfortable and in a complicated mood. To be continued.
