Chapter 183 Make friends with the audience

Time flies quickly, and the art party is coming soon. The staff in the audience become more complicated. They are mainly sanitation workers and poor families. Because they are all free tickets, many other people have come in. Some people have tickets and they don’t come after a temporary incident, which ends up not filling the audience.

This is the disadvantage of giving away tickets. The audience will not cherish this ticket. They don’t want to go there at the moment if they have something to do. It is possible to not want to go out when they see the wind outside and not want to go out. This is normal.

There were still a hundred empty seats missing. The TV stations and newspapers also came, and the show was about to start later. Those people still didn't come. The seats that looked like stingy heads were really not good to take photos. The organizer temporarily called his relatives and friends to fill in the seats, and some gave tickets at the door, and finally filled the seats.

He Xiangdong was unaware of this. He and Zhang Wenhai were waiting in the backstage to play. Both of them took off their coats. It was still a long time before they got their turn to play, so they didn't wear them.

There were many actors in the backstage and they were all preparing. The young crosstalk actors were wearing bright suits, and the two of them sat on the sand, turning around and chatting with the people around them, which was very happy.

This scene shows He Xiangdong frowning and Zhang Wenhai shook his head, but neither of them spoke.

The Peking Opera actor sitting next to He Xiangdong was talking to the mirror. The Peking Opera opera that I was going to sing today is called the Case of the Beheading of Beauty. The Case of the Beheading of Beauty is an art in the old drama Qin Xianglian. This is also a traditional Peking Opera opera.

The Peking Opera actor who is hooking his face is named Wang Baigao. Today he sings the "Blackhead" business. Blackheads also belong to the flower face. Blackheads must be hooked, wear black beards, and have a singing skills. Therefore, those who focus on singing skills in the flower face role are generally called "Blackheads" or "Blackjing".

Wang Baigao sang Bao Gong today. The protagonist of this yi has talked with He Xiangdong many times during rehearsals. The two chatted very prone. When he saw He Xiangdong's unhappy face in the mirror, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What? I can't stand it?"

He Xiangdong then turned around and looked at Wang Baigao, and smiled and said, "There is nothing I can't see, I'm not their master."

Wang Baigao smiled, then quickly closed his mouth and said, "Oh, I can't laugh, this smile is going to be wrong." After he put the pen on the corner of his mouth, he said, "It's normal for young people to be ignorant now, and it's also their master to not teach them well. Oh, by the way, you are also a young girl, you are very traditional."

He Xiangdong smiled and shook his head and said, "It cannot be said that it is a tradition. This is a kind of artistic attitude. The attitude of artistic attitude should be meticulous."

Wang Bogao praised: "Haha, that's right. Nowadays, young people are very impetuous. It's rare for you to be so calm."

He Xiangdong just shook his head and smiled.

What he couldn't stand was that the two young crosstalk actors were moving around on the sand chair in suits that they wanted to go on stage, wrinkling their suits. It would be so ugly to go on stage.

Don’t think that this is a very casual thing, it is very particular. Mr. Hou Baolin said, “Cross talk should pay attention to beauty”. What is beauty? This includes your clothes. It does not mean that you must wear famous brands, but you must be neat.

Because the first impression you give to the audience when you go on stage is your overall appearance and dress, the actors must modify themselves before going on stage. It is not that they are handsome, but at least they cannot bore the audience.

Some of the most particular old men will change into the clothes they want to go on stage, so they will no longer sit down and stand on the waiting table. They are afraid that they will wrinkle their clothes and will not look good on stage. This is the attitude of making art.

But now many actors, especially young actors, do not pay attention to this point. They walk around in suits that they want to go on stage, sit around everywhere, and do not tactile in style, and are not serious in their work.

He Xiangdong is wearing a coat. If it is still a long time before it is his turn, he will not wear it first. He must hang the coat first and change it when he is on the stage. After changing it, even if he sits and waits, he will be very careful and try not to make his clothes sloppy.

The show was followed by one after another, and the performance was very fast. He Xiangdong and his fellow crosstalk were in the fourth place. The young crosstalk was ahead of them, and the final part was the Peking Opera Case of the Killing of Beauty.

He Xiangdong and Zhang Wenhai were waiting at the entrance. When they heard the host call their program, they appeared. Zhang Wenhai walked in front and He Xiangdong followed behind.

There is a reason why Zhang Wenhai was walking in front, because they were facing the direction they were holding the supporting actors in the inside, Zhang Wenhai was in front and He Xiangdong was behind, and just went straight to stand without having to surround people, which is also for the good look on the stage.

He Xiangdong has a habit of playing. He would use two fingers to pick up the lower robe and make it two inches away from the ground. This is the appearance of the robe in the opera, or it is for the sake of good looks.

Crosstalk performances focus on "book-mouth play stand". Although crosstalk is an art of language, it always has body movements. When you move, you must make the audience feel comfortable to watch. What is relying on is the posture and posture in the opera. Therefore, basically all famous crosstalk artists have learned the body skills of opera from opera actors, and pay attention to the coordination of hands, eyes, body skills and steps.

The two stood on the stage. He Xiangdong looked at the audience below and looked roughly. Almost one-third of the audience had left. It turns out that he didn't cherish the tickets.

He Xiangdong smiled and said to the audience below: "Hello everyone, here we are here, we have changed our father and father again. Come on stage and introduce ourselves first."

The one sitting in the middle of the row below the stage was Officer Xu. He was smiling at He Xiangdong who was performing on the stage. Next to him was a fat man in a suit.

The man in the suit came over and asked Officer Xu softly: "Old Xu, is this the very excellent young crosstalk actor you mentioned?"

Officer Xu looked at the stage, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, he is He Xiangdong."

The man in the suit looked at the stage again, looked at it for a while, and said, "This young man looks quite likable, but it doesn't seem as good as you said."

Secretary Xu said: "You watch slowly, I believe he will surprise you."

"Okay." The man in the suit responded and continued to watch the performance.

When performing crosstalk, you should first answer the conversation, then you should follow the conversation. In the past, you should not report the name of the show. You should rely on the crosstalk to ask for directions, find out the audience's preferences and start the event. Now that you have determined the specific content of the show, you should rely on the briefing to pull the audience down among the scene characters you want to perform.

There are skills here. You cannot force yourself. You must make the audience willing to come in from the bottom of your heart. The most important skill here is to make friends with the audience. Mr. Zhang Shouchen once said: "Crossing actors make friends with the audience on stage, treat the audience as superiors, and are nervous, and this job is not good. Treat the audience as students and teach others, which is not possible."

Only when you treat the audience as close friends will they trust you and recognize you. If you like to hear you, you are not too cautious about you, and you will immediately enter the scene you have set. Therefore, some crosstalk actors with very high artistic skills will talk about crosstalk while chatting with the audience.

Master Ma San is very good at this. At the beginning of the year, He Xiangdong went to Tianjin. Master Ma San guided him for several days and focused on the skills in it. To be continued.
