286. Fried Field(1/2)
"Senior brother, they are still young, so there is no need to be such strict requirements." Su Budong felt that it was not easy to say crosstalk like this.
"When I first came on stage, I was only 16 years old. I followed my master to tell me that I didn't shake the burden at that time, so the master would beat me up. Now, if I didn't have the sticks I ate back then, what would I say about crosstalk now? Now it's a new society. The past is not fashionable, but when people get old, they always want to go over. There are bad things in the past, right? Of course, there are many more, but I'm also thinking, why haven't we passed on many excellent things?
I worked with someone to purify crosstalk, but now I think about it, some of the work done is still a bit too rough. Some old gentlemen have accumulated things that have been tempered and accumulated, so I threw them into the pile of old papers at once. This is not good, just like today. How about their new jokes? They are new, but they are not good without time polishing. New jokes are good, but will it be easier to resonate with the audience when I take out an old joke?”
"Senior brother, there is actually another problem." Su Budong continued.
"What's the problem?" Shilin Hou said after taking a sip of tea.
"We are performing in the United States now. I don't know about crosstalk performances in the past. Half of the audiences who came today are Americans. Different Americans are different from crosstalk based on Mandarin. Even if they brought anti-translation, it is difficult for them to understand where our jokes are in different contexts."
"Junior brother, do you mean we will change the program temporarily?" The stage was reporting, and Su Budong didn't dare to say that he would change the program.
"Do you think Sun Bo and Jin Ming can say "Lotus Flower"?" Su Budong reminded him.
"The Lily Flower" said many people who spoke crosstalk before the liberation, but there were a lot less after the liberation, because the funny guys in this crosstalk pretended to be a magical person and deceived him, which seemed to have magical skills; the supporting guys were beaten by the funny guys. So as more and more new crosstalks and new jokes, this old joke was gradually forgotten.
Why did Su Budong choose this joke at this time?
Because Americans don’t understand what is available or not, just watch a lively event. If you want to be lively, you have to let two crosstalk actors interact on the stage through actions and interact with the audience below the stage through actions.
The advantage of this crosstalk joke is that his burden is not in language, and it can reduce the gap between American audiences.
"This show is new in the United States." Shilin Hou knocked on his forehead with a fan: "Yes, even if the Americans don't understand this show, you can still understand it! Junior brother, you know a lot of jokes." Shilin Hou said with a smile. Changing the show on the spot is a taboo, but Shilin Hou doesn't care about so many. Even if Shilin Hou is so big, it is the first time that he has performed with so many foreigners, so the program he arranged before is a bit inappropriate.
"Senior brother, don't be busy and happy. You don't know if Sun Bo and Jin Ming will have this joke!"
"Let the host delay for five more minutes." Shilin Hou explained to the front desk, then pulled Sun Bo and Jin Ming and asked them both: "Do you remember the joke "Lily Flower"?"
"Master, this is the first crosstalk we learned at the beginning. But at that time, the master said that this joke was too old and we didn't let us say it." Jin Ming was inconvenient.
"What's too old! These things are all handed down by our ancestors, let's talk about them now!" Shilin Hou pointed at the two of them with a fan: "If you two forget the words, be careful I will use the stick to slap you!"
The old man was also anxious. He could not ruin his reputation for this good performance. Shilin Hou Bing was on the risk and said that he would stir up the venue. Otherwise, the programs he brought were cold guns, who would he give them to?
The two crosstalk actors looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. "Is this okay..."
"Do you have to remove it, you must do it!" Shilin Hou had no time to explain why, so he could only tell them to change the program.
"Okay, listen to you." The two crosstalk actors also knew that the show was cold, and now the success or failure of the performance is directed at them.
After getting on stage, the two bowed to the audience, asked the audience, introduced the actors on stage, and then started talking.
Sun Bo: I am a qigong practitioner.
Jin Ming: I know that people who practice qigong often see it on the street, swallowing swords and iron balls. That guy is interesting.
Sun Bo: This is fake, mistress.
Jin Ming: I think this is true!
Sun Bo: No, you are confused, you are confused, do you want to learn? You want to learn from me to teach you.
Jin Ming: I want to learn, swallow the sword.
Sun Bo: I will teach you in ten minutes.
Jin Ming: So fast?
That's not, it's just a fool.
Jin Ming: Then you teach me.
Sun Bo: What do you want to learn?
Jin Ming: Swallows the sword.
Sun Bo: It’s not that you can swallow the sword, it’s so easy to learn. You can find a cabbage to help you first.
Jin Ming: Baicai’s Gang.
Sun Bo: Alas~, the cabbage’s gang, take down the tender leaves on both sides, and only one gang is left. Find a place where no one is, and stab yourself in the throat.
Jin Ming: Why are you practicing this?
Sun Bo: Because the throat is full of nerves, it will it itch and cough when it hits a foreign object. You can practice it first, practice it well, and it will be fine when it won’t cough.
Jin Ming: Let it adapt.
Sun Bo: Oh~, then find a piece of wood or a piece of bamboo to cultivate it into a sword, and then find a place where there is no one, ah~ah~ah~ah~ahh, then poke it. When both of these are practiced, you can use a real sword.
Jin Ming: Swallowing the True Sword.
Sun Bo: It is said to be a sword, but in fact it is only such a big dagger.
Jin Ming: Dagger?
Sun Bo: Because of the real sword, it won’t work!
Jin Ming: What?
Sun Bo: A three-foot green sword.
Jin Ming: More than one meter, please let him swallow it!
Jin Ming: How great it is, isn’t it all on the streets?
Sun Bo: I went down here and came out later.
Jin Ming: If you penetrate the door, how can you succeed! This mistress cannot succeed!
When the two of them talked about this, everyone in the venue was very happy. Because many Americans knew about the sword swallowing, and the two crosstalk actors were playing, there were professional translators in the audience, so Americans suddenly understood the jokes. Especially when they came in and out of the front, they were so cute that the Americans heard them like "yellow" jokes! So they all laughed all of a sudden.
When Shilin Hou heard the audience laughing in the backstage, he breathed a little relieved. "Fortunately, this kid didn't embarrass me."
Su Budong knew that the really fun place of this joke had not come yet, so he smiled at Shilin Hou and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, we are."
The Americans' jokes sounded seriously about these two crosstalk actors, especially Sun Bo disguised himself as a qigong master. These Americans knew kongfu and really believed them.
Jin Ming: Then you are...
Sun Bo: I said, I practice qigong. It is different from them. When we practice qigong, we need to collect qi first. For example, we have to go to Mount Emei in this month. Or we have to go to Mount Huangshan or Mount Tai. When we get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, we sit on the mountain. The four elements are empty, we put our hands together, and we think about the sun's light, and then collect qi. After collecting qi, we must gather qi and gather qi into the dantian. We feel that our dantian is as big as a qi ball. If you have this feeling, gather qi will be completed. After gathering qi, we need luck. It depends on what you are doing, for example, hitting the train with your head.
Jin Ming: Oh, slow down, not practicing qigong, you are trying your best.
Sun Bo: What does it mean to be a life-threatening train? Then the train left "Dangdangdangdangdangdang".
Jin Ming: The more you say it, the more mysterious you become? Isn’t this a life-threatening thing? The train is heading towards you and hitting the locomotive. Isn’t this a life-threatening thing?
Sun Bo: Who asked you to hit the locomotive with your head!
Jin Ming: Follow you...
Sun Bo: It hit the tail of the train.
Jin Ming: Hit the back!
Sun Bo: If you hit me, you won’t leave, “Dangdangdangdangdangdangdang”.
Jin Ming: That's going to leave.
As soon as this joke was finished, the Americans were completely happy when they heard it.
"How did these Chinese people come up with the end of the car?"
"Haha, mom, this person is so fun." Some Chinese children also came to listen to crosstalk with their parents.
Jin Ming: Can you stop telling jokes?
Sun Bo: I really know how to practice qigong.
Jin Ming: Then how far are you now?
Sun Bo: How far have you practiced? What is our theater called?
Jin Ming: Lincoln Center.
Sun Bo: Just this theater. If I want to do my best now, "Hey!" The top of the top, "Praise!" will come down. I'll practice one for you...
Jin Ming: Alas~~~Wait, you want an earthquake, this is it.
Sun Bo: I've practiced to this point.
Jin Ming: Is there a small one?
Sun Bo: I am practicing "lily flowers on my mouth" now, and I usually use it to play with it.
Jin Ming: What is "lily flowers spitting on the mouth"?
Sun Bo: It’s very simple. Just take a glass of water, you can do whatever water. Take this glass of water, "dongdongdongdongdongdong" I can drink him.
Hearing this, the audience was very happy again. Are you talking nonsense? We can drink this even if you give us a glass of water!
Jin Ming: Who can’t drink water?! I can drink water, so can.
Sun Bo: It’s not just drinking. After drinking, I opened my mouth and said, “Puff!” I spit out such a big lotus. The water lotus circled around the theater for three times, and finally stopped here in the middle.
Jin Ming: How long does it take to stop?
Sun Bo: It can't stop for a long time, it only looks like a crystal when you get away, but when you look closer, it's a little translucent, and then you'll fall to the ground, it's still this pool of water.
Jin Ming: Is this called "lily flowers on your mouth"?
Sun Bo: Badges, gadgets.
