Since the year when He Xiangdong left Tianjin and went to the world with his master, crosstalk has actually fallen, and then it completely fell into a trough in the 1990s. In this way, how can a small individual please him?

He Xiangdong has been very unsatisfied in recent years. In the past ten years, he has been living in the world, but he has only barely made a full meal. Sometimes he doesn’t even have to eat. The same is true at the Beijing Exhibition. Last year, it was difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing.

He has been confused, cursed, and cynical. He has a unique skill and can dominate all the heroes. He is no worse than anyone else in art, but he can't even make a living by encouraging him.

He was very confused and confused. He also cursed Sifang and those crosstalk actors who made the crosstalk market mess. However, as Xiang Wenshe gradually improved, his mentality changed a lot, and he began to think more calmly about why crosstalk declined.

Why no one listened?

Why is it becoming more and more rigid?

What is the reason for this?

What is the most essential reason?

He Xiangdong lowered his head and was silent for a long time. After a while, he looked up at Officer Xu, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You ask me why I didn't teach and educate others. My answer is that I don't have the ability."

Officer Xu raised his eyebrows, and showed an interesting look on his face, saying, "Your answer is a bit beyond my expectations."

He Xiangdong looked at him and said, "Since you told me not to look at you as the director, I will call you Mr. Xu. What do you think?"

Officer Xu replied: "Of course."

He Xiangdong said: "Okay, Mr. Xu, then I will tell you my opinion. It combines education and entertainment. Now you all say that crosstalk should have educational significance and ironic significance. My opinion is that crosstalk can have, not that there should be."

Officer Xu looked at He Xiangdong's eyes and moved slightly, saying, "Continue to talk."

He Xiangdong has also completely let go. He has thought a lot these days and has really come into contact with many people within the system. The crosstalk actors he currently knows are all within the system. He has learned more about some things and has also gained some new views.

He said: "First, crosstalk is the art of yi language. Whatever there is in the language can be there. It is very broad. If you ask whether it can have educational significance, it is certainly OK. Not only new crosstalk, but traditional crosstalk also does not lack educational jokes."

"The most obvious thing is the lyrics of Taiping. Isn't this what encourages people to be kind? Isn't Mr. Chang Baokun's tooth powder bag just satirizing the inflation of the Kuomintang government? Isn't this ironic meaning? Crosstalk can do this."

"But it's too difficult." He Xiangdong shook his head and sighed, looked at Officer Xu's eyes, and said again: "It's really too difficult."

Officer Xu asked, "What's the difficulty?"

He Xiangdongdao: "It combines education with entertainment, and education with entertainment. The educational significance should be placed in music. The most fundamental thing about crosstalk is joy. It can have no educational significance, but it cannot be without joy. Without joy, it is not crosstalk. To put it bluntly, crosstalk is the art of making people happy."

"The art of crosstalk is simple and pure. If you have to set questions and make requirements, it will become difficult. You have to be educational, funny, and make the audience not disgusted with your education and are willing to accept it. This is really difficult."

"Who doesn't understand the truth? You need to teach me? No one wants to listen to your great principles. It's really difficult. And now the crosstalk of the evening party is the mainstream. I used to say that what they said is not a thing. Now we have many actors who come out of crosstalk of the evening party. After chatting with them, I realized, alas."

"They are actually helpless. They have too many requirements at the party. This cannot be said, that cannot be said, this cannot be used, this and that cannot be used. There are a lot of countless requests pressing on your head, and you must be educational and amusing the audience. What is the difference between this and dancing on the tip of a knife with shackles?"

Officer Xu was no longer looking at He Xiangdong. He looked at the stage. The tables there had not been removed yet. They were covered with purple-red velvet cloth, folding fans, awakening wood, and handkerchiefs in sequence according to the old rules, with a very serious expression.

He Xiangdong smiled bitterly and continued, "Oh, I really admire those old men now. Under the limitations of so many shackles, they can still create so many popular new crosstalks. No matter what aspect it is, I, as a junior, feel ashamed."

"It's a pity that the old gentlemen retired and died. The new actors who are active on the stage now do not have the ability of the old gentlemen at all. There are even a lot of people who have transferred from other industries who have never learned crosstalk. How can these people create truly good new crosstalk under so many restrictions?"

After hearing this, Director Xu did not reply for a long time. He frowned, but his eyes stared at the table on the stage. He was thinking a lot, and his heart was very complicated.

He Xiangdong didn't say anything anymore, let out a long tone, smiled mockingly, and then changed to a more comfortable position to sit.

After a long time, Officer Xu fumbled out his pocket, took out a bag of cigarettes, pulled out a piece of cigarettes from it, and lit it. He took a few sips and said, "I can smoke, but I rarely smoke because I promised my wife to quit smoking, but I always have a bag on my body. It's okay to spend my eyesight, and it's okay to spread it for others to smoke, but I don't smoke myself, so today is an exception. Are you smoking?"

Officer Xu handed over the cigarette box, and He Xiangdong refused: "I never smoke, it's not good for my throat."

Officer Xu nodded, then put away the cigarette box and said, "It's good not to smoke, it's good for the health."

He Xiangdong didn't answer either.

Officer Xu was almost finished smoking a cigarette, and he asked again: "Why do you always talk about traditional crosstalk?"

He Xiangdong: "Because traditional crosstalk is simple, with a complete framework, a complete context, and a complete way to amuse others, I can use it with a little change. There are fewer restrictions on crosstalk here, so I can play better. He Xiangdong, I, is not an artist with great skills, and I can only choose simple ones."

Officer Xu shook his head and said, "You are humble."

After a pause, he asked again: "What do you think of new crosstalk? Do you hate it?"

He Xiangdong shook his head and said, "No, new crosstalk is also crosstalk. Crosstalk actually does not distinguish between traditional new and old at all. Isn't the traditional crosstalk now also new crosstalk in the past? There will be no mistakes in crosstalk, but only artists, and art will not be wrong."

"Art is not wrong." Director Xu repeated it again, feeling a little shocked, and even forgot to smoke the cigarette. After a while, he sighed and said with emotion: "Okay, that's right."

He Xiangdong looked at Officer Xu in the eyes and asked very seriously: "You asked me a lot of questions, so can I ask you a question?"

Secretary Xu said, "Ask."

He Xiangdong looked at him and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think of a folk crosstalk garden like us?"

After smoking the last cigarette, Director Xu blew the cigarette butt casually, then slowly spit out the white smoke, smiled on his face, turned his head to look at He Xiangdong. To be continued.
