Cheng Guanli wrote the prototype of the script quickly after returning home.
Although it is based on Cheng Dehai's attempt to steal fish in sour soup and failed and ran away from the cook in anger, it has been greatly adapted.
After all, we cannot copy what happened at that time. Although this incident is ridiculous, if we want to shorten it into a stage play of about 15 minutes, we have to streamline it.
This sketch also requires two people to perform, and the candidates in my mind are naturally Chen Xiaoer and Lao Mao.
The background of the story is set ten days after pickling sauerkraut.
Chen Xiaoer stars as Cheng Dehai, a restaurant owner who competes unfairly, doesn't know how to pretend to understand, and is self-righteous.
Lao Mao plays the role of Lao Zhao, a cook with a stubborn temper and tactless character.
There is a sharp contrast between the two characters, a battle of wits between the restaurant owner and the cook.
Stage short plays must have conflicts, which can be caused by the character's personality and social status, or by the differentiation of interests.
No matter what the contradiction is, it must be obvious.
Especially in a skit that lasts about 15 minutes, the audience must know as soon as it appears that the main character is conflicted.
Cheng Guanli set up several contradictions in the script of this sketch.
In addition to the difference in social status between the characters, the boss and the worker, there is also a contradiction in their moral values.
The restaurant owner played by Chen Xiaoer is selfish and has no bottom line. He wants to steal the signature dishes of his peers and sell them at a low price on the opening day.
The cook played by Lao Mao couldn't stand this kind of behavior and initially advised Chen Xiaoer not to do it and told him that sauerkraut couldn't be made during this season.
But Chen Xiaoer couldn't resist it, so he had no choice but to pickle a jar of it as Chen Xiaoer asked, but the dish was spoiled.
The story happened more than ten days later when the altar was about to be opened to make fish in sour soup.
Chen Xiaoer pretended not to understand and insisted on going his own way, compared with Lao Mao's earnest words and earnest attempts to persuade him, and ultimately failed to make a pot of stinky soup.
Chen Xiaoer was so proud that he refused to admit his mistakes and insisted on taking a bite.
In the end, he curled his lips and said it was delicious, and also said that he wanted to promote it.
The story ends with Lao Mao calling the health supervision department and sealing down Chen Xiaoer's restaurant.
This sketch has the shadow of teacher Zhao Lirong's "Working Adventures", it can be said that it all comes from life.
As for the language baggage, Cheng Guanli had an encyclopedia in his head and was familiar with three hundred Tang poems. He could even steal them if he couldn't recite them.
There is no need to worry about this. The only thing to worry about is how to satisfy the leader.
After all, what this skit is really about is the superior leaders who come to the CCTV studio to watch the program live.
Therefore, it is necessary to add a description of the rapid economic growth after the reform and to show the spiritual outlook of the people.
These things can only be added to the dialogue between Chen and Zhu, in which case the language baggage will have to be reduced.
After careful consideration, Cheng Guanli had no choice but to make concessions, reduce the language baggage and praise the rapidly developing social economy more.
Cheng Guanli is no stranger to this, it can be said that he is familiar with the road.
After all, I had experience with my first sketch script "Borrowing Money", and I wrote the preliminary script in three hours.
I was about to go to Shuxiangxuan for a meal, and then I took the script to the stage to show it to Teacher Huang.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it? The door is open, just come in? Why are you knocking so politely?"
"Second brother, it's me~"
The figure flashed, and Cheng Jianwu walked into the house with a smile on his face.
Cheng Guanli frowned, "You kid! What's wrong?"
"Hey, second brother, I don't mean anything else. I'm not here to quarrel or fight with you. I'm here to ask you something."
"Oh~ then you say it!"
"I, I, can I close the door?"
"Why should we close the door in broad daylight? Why should two grown men close it? If you have anything to say, please tell me immediately. I'm still waiting to go out to eat."
"Okay, okay, let me make a long story short. Yesterday, my dad and my brother had some dispute with Chef Zhao because of the preparations for the opening. He lost his temper and turned away. I went to invite him with a gift this morning. Hey, his wife
He said that Chef Zhao is going to work at your Shuxiangxuan. Second brother, you don’t want to bring him like this! My dad worked so hard to hire Chef Zhao, how can you poach him away? We are all in trouble, you
return……"
"Get lost! Whoever steps on the horse is your second brother. If you mess around again, will you believe me if I slap you?"
"No, it's easy for me to talk nice to you. You can't reach out and hit the smiling person, right?"
"Don't tell me these morals. I have morals, but I won't tell you about them. Do you know why?"
"Why, why?"
"Because your whole family has no morals at all. You had a bullshit dispute with the chef. You were obviously anxious to get my business. But when the sauerkraut failed, you still blamed the chef. He left because he couldn't stand your behavior. The salary I paid him is not the same as yours."
The standards are the same as mine. They were not poached at a high price. If there is a problem, let your father come over. You are not qualified to talk to me!"
"Eh? Me? You..."
"Get out! Bring shame on yourself!"
Cheng Jianwu was kicked out of the door. Watching Cheng Guanli lock the door and leave, he was angry and scared.
I couldn't fight again and again, and I couldn't talk about it, so I had no choice but to go home.
After returning home, he didn't dare to mention to Cheng Dehai that Chef Zhao went to work at Shuxiangxuan. He just hesitated and said: "Dad, um, um, yes, Lao Zhao is not here. His wife said he went to work in a restaurant in Xicheng."
Cheng Dehai said angrily: "You loser, you can't do anything right, won't you chase him to that restaurant and ask him to come out?"
"I, I forgot to ask which one, can't we find another one?"
"Where can I find it? Do you think it's so easy to find a Beijing-style Sichuan chef? This old Zhao came out because his job was not going well. Who doesn't want a stable job? Get out of here and find me right away. Over there
Invite Lao Zhao out of our restaurant!"
Cheng Jianwu pursed his lips and asked bravely: "What about my brother? Just let him go, I don't know how to speak."
"Your brother is cleaning the big vat in the back kitchen of the restaurant, and he's wiping your buttocks!"
"Then...well, I'll ask again..."
Cheng Jianwu was scolded by his father and had no choice but to hide in Beihai Park for a day.
The more Cheng Dehai thought about it, the angrier he became. In addition to scolding Lao Zhao for holding his head, he also scolded his younger son for not being able to do things. He had no idea that at this time, Lao Zhao was already having a heated competition with Lao Huang in Shuxiangxuan.
…………
Cheng Guanli went to a restaurant for dinner, and Xu Yuzhen specially asked Lao Huang to stew a wolfberry, astragalus and mutton soup, saying that the boss should not be exhausted.
Cheng Guanli didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He drank the soup to the bottom and then wandered to the central platform to find Teacher Huang.
Teacher Huang was very satisfied after reading the script of the ceremony.
He nodded and said: "Okay, this script should be okay. All aspects have been taken care of. Watching the ceremony, you can understand the thoughts of your superiors. This is an advantage. Yes, we have to review this script in the stage before submitting it."
"Indeed, it's better not to be too anxious. I think if society develops too fast in the second half of the year, what is not in compliance with the regulations now may be in compliance with the regulations in half a year."
Teacher Huang smiled and said: "Haha, I understand what you mean. Submitting a few months later is to improve the approval rate, but what I said is to review it in the stage and then submit it to the superior for preliminary review, because now I have
Two sketch scripts.”
"two?"
"Well, you see, I received another sketch script submission this morning, but my superiors stipulated that this party can only have one sketch, so one of the two scripts must be selected from the stage first, and then submitted for preliminary review. It cannot be done
Can you send both sketch scripts to your superiors so that the leaders can choose?"
Cheng Guanli nodded and said: "That's right, then how do you choose? Do you want to perform both skits?"
"I will compare your script with the stage leaders first, and then watch the performance, so you have to start looking for actors now to watch the ceremony." This chapter has been completed!
