Chapter 308 Curse
Zhang Guangtai’s return home is a single mouth among the traditional eight sticks. The eight sticks now refer to storytelling and stand-up comedy, but in the past, they only refer to those eight stand-ups, and Zhang Guangtai’s return home is a single one among the most primitive eight.
We have introduced before that the eight primitive sticks are pinched and the tail are only the ones that are as bright as sticks in the middle. We have also talked about the rumors about the Storytelling Sect here, but this is just a rumor. Whether it is true or false, there is no way to distinguish it.
However, among the eight major sticks, Zhang Guangtai returned home, Song Jingang bets, Kangxi's private visit to Yueminglou and Ma Shou was born. These four are indeed from the storytelling Yongqing and Shengping, so they have a connection, including the artistic expression of stand-up comedy, which is very similar to storytelling.
Moreover, there are many statements about the origin of the Eight Great Sticks, and there is no such thing as the rumor. Everyone has a different opinion.
Because the traditional eight sticks have no beginning and end, there is only such a part in the middle, the audience will naturally not be satisfied with it, but when the old man was performing his skills, he ignored these things.
After all, these old men are talking crosstalk in teahouses. They don’t find a bookstore to specifically talk about books, and their way of selling skills in the past was not the same as they are now. Now they buy tickets, and the audience will listen to them all after they have tickets.
In the past, I used to pay a little money, but after saying that, I took a small basket and asked the audience for money. This is called opening a door. This is the most critical craft in the art. Other basic skills, such as learning to sing, are not as good as this, because this is a matter of food. If you don’t make money, what’s the use of saying it well?
Of course, the current work conditions are much better than before.
It is precisely because of the zero-money sales model that the old man always said that Yi Duaner collected money from Yi Duan. As for whether this thing can be finished, he ignored it. The next day he went on stage to talk about the right crosstalk. As for the audience's appetite, it's better to hang it. You'll come tomorrow, and I can still make money.
This is the most primitive way to not fill the holes. Improper morality starts here, so don’t blame He Xiangdong for not filling the holes. He respects tradition and is so noble.
Of course, not all the old men dig holes and don’t fill them. Some of the old men think that such a storytelling without beginning or end is not good, and the audience is uncomfortable listening. Some of them also add the beginning and ending.
But because there are many old men, the version is a bit different, but they are all similar. After all, the main trunk is a model.
In addition to having good books, the more important thing about storytelling is that the actors on stage should be outstanding and charming. For example, if you want to talk about Water Margin and the Three Kingdoms, the audience can buy Water Margin and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and read it. They know the subsequent plot, so why bother to listen to you?
What's more, it's still a science and technology society. TV series have come out, the Three Kingdoms have come out in the early years, and Water Margin is also being popular this year. Xue Guo will watch it as long as she has time. She is full of pictures, texts and images, and she doesn't spend money.
Why do you have to take time to come here and spend money to listen to your personal stories that people have known for a long time? This is really not easy. In other words, if you are a storyteller, you have to force the film and television works of the crowd actors on the TV. It’s so lively, you just open your mouth. And you not only have to gather popularity but also have to spend money. Are people with insufficient level here?
Besides, Director Huang nodded in a pretentious manner. He had never heard Zhang Guangtai go home. Now no one says long stand-ups. There is also a recording of the old man played in the radio, but now there are still a few people listening to the radio.
Moreover, when Zhang Guangtai went home, there were some things that were hard to say, so there was no recording left, including now there was a collection of traditional crosstalk collections, which were found in the 1980s. When He Xiangdong was young, he heard the third master of the Chang family talk about this, but that was just the name of the crosstalk collection. Some indecent things were also cut off, and the crosstalk collection was actually not complete.
Also, when they were working on this thing, many old men didn't want to express what they knew. The artists called Ning She ingots and gold not to pass on it. They were reluctant to let it go, but they dared not to say it. They said it, but they kept their hands and had a lot of buttons and kept it out, so the crosstalk collection was even more incomplete.
Director Huang didn't know the tricks here, but he couldn't say he didn't know it. It would be embarrassing, so he pretended to be profound.
Although Mr. Hou San is not good at stand-ups, he is not very good at it now, but he is a person in the crosstalk industry and is also a famous genius. He knows the things in it, and he has heard many old men say when Zhang Guangtai comes home.
A strange smile appeared on his face. Why? It's because the brothels are mentioned at the beginning. It's hard to say. It's not good to be denied the name of restoration and vulgarity. Although these people may always run to the dance hall in private, they can make a difference in the open.
Mr. Hou San looked at He Xiangdong and frowned slightly: "Why did you suddenly say that Zhang Guangtai is going home?"
He Xiangdong explained: "I have been talking about this for a long time, and my master has sorted it out for me. I think I will be more confident in playing."
Mr. Hou nodded, thinking that Fang Wenqi helped organize Zhang Guangtai's home. He highly praised Fang Wenqi. Not to mention anything else, can he train such an apprentice. Can his level be worse? Not to mention that he has sacrificed his life for crosstalk.
In fact, what he didn't know was that the master He Xiangdong was talking about was not Fang Wenqi, but Zhang Kuoru. Fang Wenqi's own stand-up level was also just as good as it was at most. However, Zhang Kuoru was a real master. Although he was a storyteller, this does not mean that he did not understand stand-up crosstalk. After all, the art forms of these two sects are very similar.
He Xiangdong can now talk about stand-up comedy to this point, thanks to his master like Zhang Kuoru. Zhang Kuoru has also specially organized the head and tail of the eight major sticks. This is something that the master has sorted out.
Then He Xiangdong incorporated some crosstalk performance skills based on his performance characteristics, so this was already very mature. Later, he also received recordings from Mr. Wang Miwei, where he understood more and more advanced tricks and techniques, and had a deeper understanding of stand-ups.
Now that he is on stage, he is definitely sure to let Zhang Guangtai go home and have a full house.
After silence, Mr. Hou San asked, "What will you do with the beginning of that section?"
He Xiangdong frowned, as if he was so happy that he had been a little too early, and forgot that this place was not a small theater.
Director Huang looked at Master Hou San and He Xiangdong. He didn't understand anything, but he couldn't show his timidity. He looked at He Xiangdong very seriously nodded: "Yeah."
"This" He Xiangdong frowned. He really didn't think about what to say at the moment.
Mr. Hou is still quick-witted. After all, he has been working in the professional group for so many years. He said, "Why would you better scold me?"
Director Huang became even more confused, but he nodded forcibly: "Yeah, yeah."
He Xiangdong hesitated and said, "Is it OK?"
Mr. Hou San said: "It's okay, as long as you can't catch any big handle, we're also careful."
He Xiangdong nodded and said, "It's done, I'll listen to you, just scold me."
Director Huang felt that he could no longer remain silent at this time, and it would be embarrassing to be silent again. He agreed: "Speak well, scold well."
He Xiangdong: ""
Mr. Hou San: ""To be continued.
