This crosstalk collection is a rescue project for traditional crosstalk. It is necessary to record and preserve the traditional crosstalk jokes so that they will not be able to see them as old artists pass away.

The current trend of crosstalk is still a new crosstalk mainly composed of the top ten comedians, advocating praise or satire, which is what we call the crosstalk of the evening party. The traditional crosstalk that has survived was still decades ago, famous artists such as Ma Sanli and Hou Baolin recorded some irrelevant traditional crosstalk, and then disappeared.

This time, the crosstalk highlights performed real traditional crosstalk. The actors I found were also actors who could really play traditional crosstalk. They all played elementary school crosstalk, and they had solid basic skills and were the group of people with real skills.

There are also some old artists who have been talking about crosstalk from the old society. Many of them have retired and are scattered among the people. Many old artists have been almost forgotten by the audience after not performing for many years. When the crew visited Mr. Yu Baolin, Mr. Yu's toilet was full of honeycomb coal and was burning coal cake stoves. The old man said that it would save points, which was no different from ordinary retired elderly people. Later, when Mr. Baolin took the lead in setting up the first folk crosstalk theater in Tianjin in 998.

The video is in the small theater of Tianjin Audio and Video Museum. The decoration here is also in the traditional style. The background of the stage is red, with large fans hanging on it. Palace lanterns are hung on each corner of the stage, and green plants are also placed at the door of the stage.

The actors also changed into traditional Chinese gowns, and placed a small table in the middle of the stage, with purple-red velvet cloth on it, and then arranged the fans, awake wood and handkerchiefs according to the traditional rules, following the old rules.

The recorded theater can accommodate about 200 people, and there must be an audience every time the recording is recorded. Because crosstalk is a kind of performance in the face of the audience, you must adjust your performance according to the reaction of the audience.

This time, it is not like the recording of crosstalk by some TV stations. Many TV stations have no audience below. The crosstalk actors on the stage memorize the lyrics and then add laughter and applause later. This is called memorizing lines, which cannot be considered crosstalk.

Moreover, the recording was played on Tianjin TV. Traditional programs such as Wu Piaozi's mouth and spitting lotus flowers that were well-known to the public in later generations were really new at that time. This is actually a very sad thing.

The actors used in the recording of Volume 1 are basically from Tianjin and old artists from Tianjin. Someone once joked that none of the top ten comedians selected in 1985 were from Tianjin. The name of Tianjin Crosstalk Nest is no longer worthy of its name.

But this time, they slapped those people in the face. The old gentlemen and artists all came out, took off their sweatshirts and shorts, changed into traditional coats, threw away their palm-leaf fans, changed into folding fans, threw away their slippers, and changed into cloth shoes. This really made people see what crosstalk is auspicious.

Needless to say, the artistic level of these old artists is well-known for a long time. The program was broadcast on TV and immediately caused a huge response in Tianjin.

Those viewers who have long been used to the crosstalk of the evening party have truly seen what is real crosstalk, what is cushioning, what is cushioning, how to open the door, how to get into the job, how to throw the bottom, how to hang up, what is return, what is cushioning, what is cushioning, what is cushioning, what is cushioning, what is literally speaking, what is cushioning, what is literal?

This is the real charm of crosstalk.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the program was broadcasted not long. It was criticized by some senior officials in the folk art circles in Beijing for resuming traditional crosstalk by name, saying that this was a regression, saying that these decaying things were polluting the public spirit and that such things were not allowed to appear on the stage again.

The recording was also forced to be interrupted.

Later, the filming team introduced emergency measures to remove the controversial traditional crosstalk and only perform some irrelevant programs. In addition, experts and scholars, major media, and the general public discussed traditional crosstalk. In the end, everyone thought that this was a display of the human nature of the old society, and the city culture should be continued. It was considered that it was a barely resistant to the pressure with the power of public opinion.

Later, in order to avoid trouble, the highlights of the opening film also appeared when the broadcast was broadcast, such as "drinks and essence coexisting" and "showing crosstalk skills". As a result, the highlights of the Volume yi were recorded, and the second volume will begin in 1997.

well

This is the crosstalk world.

It is almost the end of the year, and all the people from other places who come to Beijing to work have returned home. The huge Beijing city suddenly becomes empty, and Xiang Wenshe has officially closed down.

It was the Chinese New Year, and He Xiangdong was full of worries. He began to think of his master. He had been with his master every Spring Festival since he was a child. Now his master is in Shanghai, but he dared not go there. He was really uncomfortable in his heart.

He knew that his master was doing well in Shanghai, and Zhang Yushu often spoke to Bai Qiang on the phone. He Xiangdong also heard about his master's news from Bai Qiang.

He Xiangdong really wanted to celebrate the New Year with his master, so he asked Bai Qiang to contact Zhang Yushu and explored his master's words. Bai Qiang also agreed. A few days later, Bai Qiang heard news that it was probably impossible.

He Xiangdong didn't dare to actually run to Shanghai to test his master's bottom line. He could only mutter silently a few times, then kowtowed to the ground, and kowtowed to the south a few times to the master, which was a sign of expressing his feelings.

He spent the New Year's Eve at home this year. He ate the New Year's Eve dinner very early and ate it at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It was Tian Jiani who came to accompany him to eat it. It was also very simple. The dumplings made by the two of them were handmade, but they ate very warmly.

After eating, after sitting for a while, Tian Jiani went back. She had a New Year's Eve dinner at home, so it would be unreasonable if she didn't go.

After Tian Jiani left, He Xiangdong was left. He took out the gift Tian Jiani gave him back then, and carefully stroked the bamboo drum stick.

It was already dark, and only a little light was left. Snow fell outside, and there was a vast white patch. The world became very clean at this moment. There were no more pedestrians in the eyes.

He Xiangdong held the drum sign in his hand, looked at the snow falling outside the window, his eyes were quiet, and his face was silent, and he said softly: "Hello, yi997."

After the New Year, migrant workers returned to the city, and Beijing became lively again. Xiangwenshe officially opened. The business has indeed improved a lot this year. Dozens of people watch crosstalk every day, and most of them can pass by sixty.

But before He Xiangdong could be happy for a long time, Fan Wenquan brought him the latest news.

"What? Let me go to Tianjin to participate in traditional crosstalk recording?" He Xiangdong asked Fan Wenquan in surprise. To be continued.
