Chapter five hundred and eighty second wind and clouds
It has only been more than a hundred years since the birth of crosstalk. This art is a traditional art, but it is not an ancient art. It is still very young.
Crosstalk was born in the late Qing Dynasty, and then the Republic of China, so most of the history of crosstalk was in an era of danger and war.
It’s strange that the most prosperous period of crosstalk was exactly that, in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the crosstalk world was in an era of expanding territory, with many famous artists and geniuses gathering.
All famous and famous artists in the crosstalk world basically came out in that era. It was these people who quickly matured the crosstalk from childhood. All the ways in which they could make people laugh were refined by these people.
In addition, they also brought the crosstalk art that was only popular in the Beijing-Tianjin area to all parts of the country, and these people forced the budding crosstalk to their peak period.
What’s strange is that these artists are all folk grassroots, they have no connections with each other, and they have no great ability. Moreover, most of them are out of school for young children, and many people can’t even write their own names, but they can still do this.
In contrast, although there are not many crosstalk actors nowadays, they are all literate and read, much better than the older generations. Moreover, the country now attaches importance to traditional art and is willing to spend money and energy to promote traditional art, but crosstalk has become a half-dead look, and other traditional arts are the same. It is really strange.
In that era when crosstalk was the most prosperous, those excellent crosstalk predecessors also created many fine traditional crosstalk jokes, with a total of as many as thousands of long and small ones.
Unfortunately, it has almost been lost now. There are not many artists who know traditional crosstalk now, and there are very few who know it, just those old jokes that are widely circulated.
Now that He Xiangdong's Xiangwenshe actually said he was going to perform a special crosstalk show on the verge of losing it, this is surprising.
Moreover, they have to perform for a week in a row, with a total of fourteen performances. According to Xiang Wenshe, there are six shows in one performance, fourteen, which are eighty-four crosstalk jokes that are on the verge of losing.
How is that possible?
Now that we can still say traditional crosstalk, it may not be enough for 84 passages, let alone the verge of losing. No one in the crosstalk world believes it because this matter is completely out of their understanding.
Zhao Family.
Zhao Fenghua slapped the table and stood up, saying decisively: "Impossible, he will definitely not have so many. If he could do three or five paragraphs, I believe that there would be more than eighty paragraphs at once. How could there be so many? Even if all the seniors in the crosstalk world were tied together, they would not be able to squeeze out so many."
Yan Xiaohua frowned, smoked a cigarette, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know, but it's true that they promote it."
The Zhao family has gathered again, and the people who came were the same as the last time.
Zhao Fenghua frowned and thought for a moment, turned his head and asked Huang Gaobai: "You used to be in the same unit as He Xiangdong, do you know what?"
Everyone also turned their attention to Huang Gaobai.
Huang Gaobai thought for a while before saying, "I don't have a deep relationship with He Xiangdong, but this person likes traditional crosstalk very much and often says this when performing. I have heard people say that when he performs in some small stations, he will also say some traditional crosstalks that are forbidden, such as asking his wife to offer his children."
Everyone nodded slightly, and Zhao Fenghua looked thoughtful.
Huang Gaobai continued: "So it is definitely true that this person has research on traditional crosstalk. He must have a lot of jokes, but if he says he can have more than 80 traditional crosstalks that are on the verge of losing, I definitely don't believe this."
Zhao Fenghua nodded slightly.
Everyone agreed, but they couldn't understand. He Xiangdong obviously didn't have so many, so how could he have the confidence to publicize the special event of losing crosstalk?
There is a new crosstalk actor named Ding Yiqun, who is in his thirties. He is now preparing to attack the TV station in a large scale. He doesn't want a strong opponent like He Xiangdong to rise smoothly, so he has been with these people to do anything badly.
Ding Yiqun is a very calm person. His thinking is very meticulous, and this characteristic is reflected in his performance.
This person's crosstalk performance style is known for his calmness, similar to the second brother of He Xiangdong's family, but the second brother is more talented than him. Moreover, with the guidance of a famous teacher He Xiangdong, the second brother's current level is no worse than Ding Yiqun.
Ding Yiqun was smoking calmly, and the thin white smoke covered his face. He calmly analyzed: "What kind of jokes are on the verge of loss? What is the standard for this definition? Ten people can be considered on the verge of loss? One hundred people can be considered on the verge of loss? Or one thousand people can be considered on the verge of loss? There is no standard for this."
Everyone raised their eyebrows and suddenly realized, and they woke up the dreamer with one word.
Ding Yiqun looked at everyone, smiled on his face and said, "This is a misunderstanding that they are scammers, which is used to deceive the audience who are not good at it. If you don't believe it, you can see that they are definitely acting those clichés on stage."
Zhao Fenghua slapped heavily and cursed: "This cunning kid actually plays this trick and wants to win both fame and fortune."
Ding Yiqun said: "I don't believe that he is just playing this kind of empty trick. He will definitely have a few crosstalks that are about to be lost. It would be great if you can use that game to save up at night. If there are five or six, you can explain it."
Zhao Fenghua said, "If no one knows, they will fool them. But since we know, how can we let them deceive the audience so unscrupulously?"
Everyone who heard it smiled.
...
What was surprised was not Zhao Fenghua's small gang. It can be said that all the crosstalk actors in the capital were shocked. No one believed that He Xiangdong could still have such ability.
Even Mr. Hou, who was very familiar with him, called him to inquire. He received a positive answer from He Xiangdong, and he felt a little relieved.
The only calm person is Chu Cheng. Chu Cheng is very confident about Fang Wenqi, so he also believes in Fang Wenqi's apprentice He Xiangdong. Not to mention more than eighty sections, even if more than eight hundred sections, as long as the child dares to open his mouth, he will dare to believe it.
The seniors of crosstalk were also affected by He Xiangdong and were inquiring about this matter. Even the semi-retired Teacher Ma was not idle and ran to the Hou family many times. The big names who wanted to join forces to ban He Xiangdong back then finally remembered this person and once again became alert to He Xiangdong's threat.
