Chapter 405 Give us guidance
In the Yi restaurant outside the theater, He Xiangdong and Gao Junsheng sat down on the small table by the window, ordered some simple wine and food and started eating. He Xiangdong didn't drink, but just got some drinks to accompany him to eat and drink.
Gao Junsheng is a good wine person, and he personally drinks very relish, and he basically doesn't eat much when drinking. He Xiangdong knows that this is a really good wine person.
A person who really has good wine will not care about good food, good food, and bad food, let alone drink two taels of food today. People who watch and eat wine are more to avoid wasting the good food on the table. Just like there are many poor families who rarely buy meat, and they are fried with a full plate of yi. The adults at home quickly told their children to go out and buy some wine and drinks, and don’t waste this plate of meat.
So this is for dishes, not for wine. People who really have good wine can even not even have to serve wine. Some of the more extreme ones can use nails to serve wine, which is the kind of big iron nails. They suck the iron smell of nails, and the mouth is a bit scent, and then sip the wine.
There are also many types of pebbles that are used more often. Retrieve pebbles from the stream, wash them clean and soak them in soy sauce bottles, and then take the soy sauce bottles to the tavern, ask the guy to make two taels of wine, and then get a small plate.
Take out a soaked pebbles from the soy sauce bottle, put them in a small plate, drink a sip of wine, and sip a sip of pebbles. This is the real person who is good at wine.
So, why don’t these people eat vegetables? Hi, it’s because they are poor, who has the money to eat vegetables and make these broken things?
Of course, this also indirectly shows that these people are really good wine, and they don’t even have a meal, and they can drink it so happily with iron nails and pebbles.
Gao Junsheng also drank a lot of wine, and his face turned slightly red. He put down his glass, sighed happily, and said to He Xiangdong: "Oh, I haven't had such a satisfying drink in a long time."
He Xiangdong was also eating slowly. He was quite casual in front of Gao Junsheng. The two of them were familiar with each other and didn't have to hold them. Moreover, Gao Junsheng had a unique charm that was very friendly. When he was with him, he would easily relax himself and feel very relaxed.
He Xiangdong chewed the vegetables and asked, "Oh, how long has it been since you started drinking?"
Gao Junsheng thought for a while and said, "It's been a long time since drinking alcohol can easily make things happen, so I don't drink much. This year's performance is over, and there's nothing going on in the future, so I dare to drink some."
He Xiangdong shrugged his shoulders without complaining. He had never drunk much alcohol anyway, nor had he missed anything, but he seemed to have missed something big after Gao Junsheng's words. He Xiangdong did not ask about other people's past. If he wanted to say that he would definitely say it, he would seem ignorant if he digs the bottom of it.
Gao Junsheng picked up two chopstick dishes and asked, "Brother He, how do you think of my drama club?"
He Xiangdong put down the chopsticks, thought for a while, and then replied: "I don't understand the drama and I haven't watched it many times. Maybe my evaluation is not that professional."
Gao Junsheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Hey, don't mention professional or unprofessional matters. Just stand in the viewer's position and make a comment on our theater. Do you think this is OK?"
He Xiangdong nodded and said, "It's done, then I'll show off my skills."
Gao Junsheng said: "You are kind."
He Xiangdong said: "I watched your drama club at night, but I feel that you are not acting in a very serious drama. Your programs contain a lot of jokes and jokes, but they are different from sketches. I am talking about crosstalk and don't know much about the specific distinction between yours, but your programs and models are very mature, and I like them very much."
Gao Junsheng smiled, laughing happily, as if he could get He Xiangdong's recognition, which is a very respectful thing. He said: "What we do is actually called a stage play or a stage comedy. This is different from a sketch. It has not been a few years since the birth of the sketch. This art form has been exhibited very quickly, and many talents have emerged, and the audience also likes it very much."
"But after all, the history of sketches is still too short. This art is too young and it is exhibited too fast. Now the sketches are relatively mature, but now the mature sketches with beginning and end are gradually bored by the audience. The true maturity and exhibition of yi art must have experienced many bottlenecks and shackles."
"Those skit actors who are active on TV may not have shown that the skits are about to decline, but the artists who perform in folks clearly show this trend. Our stage plays are based on dramas, and then absorb some of the performance skills in the skits, and finally they are what they are now."
He Xiangdong continued: "So you absorbed the advantages of both art forms and then avoided their respective shortcomings."
"Hahaha, I dare not say that, we just made a coincidence." Gao Junsheng was very polite.
He Xiangdong admired him in his heart. He also watched their stage plays. They were really good and mature. He liked them very much. He had a feeling that Gao Junsheng's theater model will definitely make great achievements in the future.
After a pause, Gao Junsheng continued, "Actually, I came out with Brother He today, and I have something to ask for."
He Xiangdongdao: "But it's okay."
Gao Junsheng said: "Although our stage play looks OK now, this art form still has many shortcomings, especially our use of some jokes, so I would like to ask you to give us guidance."
"Me?" He Xiangdong was stunned and waved his hand and said, "As the saying goes, "It is like a mountain, I don't know about your career, so don't let outsiders guide the experts."
Gao Junsheng said, "You are not an amateur. Our stage plays also use language to make the audience laugh. When it comes to language, there is no more art form that can be more mature than crosstalk?"
After hearing this, He Xiangdong was slightly surprised: "Do you really think so?"
Gao Junsheng nodded seriously.
Crosstalk is also a very young art. It has only been around for 150 years since the late Qing Dynasty. However, in this century, countless crosstalk predecessors have refined all the ways in which others can make people laugh in the Chinese language. Note that it is all.
So whether on the stage or in real life, as long as someone is amused by language, then this way of laughing can be found in crosstalk. The art of crosstalk is very mature.
It’s a pity that these funny methods have not been inherited by younger generations of crosstalk actors. Many of the inheritances are fragmented and no one can use many techniques. This is a very regrettable thing.
Traditional art needs to be exhibited, but exhibition must be exhibited based on inheriting the experience of predecessors. Putting aside everything and working hard, finally I realized that what you think is going through all obstacles is actually following the old paths that predecessors have taken. Isn’t this fucking?
Nowadays, there are many crosstalk actors doing such fucking things. Many people in the crosstalk world say that traditional crosstalk is no longer appropriate. We should abandon the old things and would rather have incomplete new than complete old things.
This is a very popular view at present. Many art colleagues agree with it very much, and even many crosstalk actors believe it very much. Even He Xiangdong's Spring Festival Gala program was killed and it is related to this view.
You said that even so many professional crosstalk actors have to throw away the old ways and overcome all obstacles by themselves. Now, there is a sudden arrival of an outsider who is still holding the mature language skills passed down from crosstalk. How could He Xiangdong not be surprised?
He Xiangdong asked again: "But now many people look down on the old skills passed down from crosstalk. Are you afraid that these old things will get rid of your new things?"
Gao Junsheng replied: "There is nothing to be old in skills, only to be mature and immature. They don't like it, they can only say that they don't understand it."
He Xiangdong smiled happily. To be continued.
