"Crosstalk is suitable for the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If it can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, it is too far away, so we will not talk about it.
Speaking of the late Qing Dynasty, cross talk began to flourish. There was Zhang Sanlu, who was not afraid of poverty and was not afraid of poverty. He was also called the founder of cross talk. He was also known as the Eight Freaks of Tianqiao at that time.
You know these origins better than me, and I don’t know how to do it, but have you ever thought about why folk arts are so prosperous in Tianqiao?”
"..."
Regardless of whether it was before or now, most people who talk about cross talk have never read anything, except for a few exceptions.
The knowledge they have come into contact with is these things that have been passed down. They all know about the Tianqiao Fire, but no one can explain systematically why it happened.
"After the Qing Dynasty established its capital in the capital, it placed the bannermen in the inner city and drove the original Han people and traders to the outer city. So where did these traders go?
It is said in the book: "Using the roots of the Temple of Heaven and Xiannongtan, you don't have to pay land rent. Instead, you can set up floating stalls and sell groceries, gradually turning into a small market."
The Temple of Heaven and Xiannongtan are the prototype of the overpass.
As the population increased, there were more and more civilians and traders in the outer cities, and the small market gradually became a big market, until it reached its golden age in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
Especially during the Republic of China, the government renovated the city and built hospitals, shopping malls, restaurants, etc. in this area. It also widened roads and re-planned the area to connect nearby markets and temple fairs. At that time, there were ten temples in this area.
There is a market, there is a temple fair, there are many idle people, and there is a lot of spare money. Those who set up stalls, jugglers, and opera singers will naturally come here. It is known as the Five Elements and Eight Works, and they can do all kinds of juggling and eat all kinds of food."
Yao Yuan first came up with a piece of folk history, and then said: "So think about it, from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, until the early days of liberation, the audience of cross talk were ordinary people, idlers, etc.
If a music artist wants to make money, he has to say what the audience wants to hear.
So what did the people at that time like to listen to?"
Huh?
Everyone was confused about the part before Yao Yuan, but when asked about this sentence, Lao Guo tried to figure out some meaning and said: ""Selling Cloth Head" or "Lying Foreign Movies"?"
"Hey, this is a folk business, and many ordinary people have personal experience." Yao Yuandao said.
"'Opening a porridge factory' or 'praising a house'?" Yu Qian also asked.
"Hey, on the surface, it portrays a man who talks about running the train, but in reality? It conforms to the obscenity of the people at the bottom. They imagine how they can be rich and how others can be rich. This is called the emperor's golden pole." Yao Yuandao.
Yo!
Everyone here is a little interested. It is interesting to analyze it from this perspective!
Let’s talk about how to classify cross talk. Let’s start with the performance form: stand-up, dialogue, and group.
Or in terms of work, some people pay attention to the vocal delivery, some sing more, and some imitate more.
Or we can classify them based on their sources. Some are adapted from storytelling, some are adapted from jokes, and some are adapted from folk tales.
But from the perspective of audience psychology, few people do this kind of analysis.
"The audience of cross talk is the market, and the creator's materials also come from the market. His own personal experience, what his parents have only heard of, the unofficial rumors written in books, the jokes spread on the street, and even the news anecdotes in newspapers, and then processed through art
, and finally turned into a cross talk.
The jokes written in this way have no sense of alienation. Common people are familiar with them and like to listen to them. Because it meets the public's aesthetic needs, no one has said pornographic jokes at that time, right?"
"Hahaha!"
Happy to mention this.
Traditional folk music and music are the hardest hit areas related to pornography, because ordinary people love to listen to it. For example, the famous "Exploring Qingshui River" is a pornographic song:
"While we were busy at the fourth watch, the two of us got on our gums. The gums were so wide that they took off my clothes. We were mouth to mouth, cheek to cheek, and the tip of Sixth Brother's tongue touched the cavity of my teeth.
…”
This paragraph has now been deleted.
And the funniest thing is that they often say that "Exploring Qingshui River" praises a poignant love story.
"No one picks these flowers, no one plays the pipa when its strings are broken, the slave is like Diao Chan missing Lu Bu, and like Yan Po sitting in the building thinking about Zhang San..."
Does your family use adulterers to praise love?
This is just a little pornographic song to amuse the common people, don't make so many nonsense.
Including the so-called traditional cross talk we hear today, I don’t know how many times it has been done, and everything that can be released is clean.
Yao Yuan continued: "Later, during the period of the flood of humanity, the old cross talk was no longer allowed to be talked about, and the new cross talk had to be talked about. What is the content of the new cross talk? "Hero Xiaobalu", "Water Wheel Problem" and "Ode to Mountaineering Heroes", this is called praising.
type cross talk.
Then came the reform and opening up, the trend was booming, and ideological trends were surging, such as "Reverhey in the Tiger's Mouth", "Thieves Company" and "Clever Name". This is called critical cross talk.
But you see, no matter how hard you try, these successful works all have one thing in common.
Adapt to the development of the times!”
Hiss!
Lao Guo was stunned for a moment, as if Yao Yuan had poked his forehead with a golden finger.
Again, Guo Degang tried his best to squeeze into the mainstream cross talk circle, but others didn't want him, so he had to stay in a small theater. When he later became famous, he turned the words around and said: "I originally called for cross talk to return to theaters..."
At this time, he was in a period of confusion, or in other words, he had not yet entered his own creative state.
When did Deyunshe start its transfer?
It was in 2004. At that time, a taxi driver called the radio station and said that the cross talk you played was too old. There were so many paragraphs over and over again. I knew there was a place where new jokes were introduced.
So the host went and recorded a few cross talk segments and played them on the radio.
Then some media and cultural figures in the capital began to recommend it, further increasing its influence. During the Spring Festival of 2006, Phoenix TV produced a special program for Deyun Club.
Then it became popular.
These past few years have been the time when Lao Guo's creative ability is at its peak.
When it comes to Deyun Society, people often talk about individuals and gossip. Few people pay attention to a basic issue, works!
Lao Guo became famous through his works!
"Dream of the Western Expedition", "This Is My Life", "I am Heise Hui" and so on, etc., in the hearts of the audience who are tired of listening to traditional cross talk and fed up with TV cross talk, one word comes to mind when they first hear it:
So interesting!
Unfortunately, my mind was no longer focused on it, and there were fewer and fewer good works.
Yao Yuan came to join in the fun today, and he actually said this to Lao Guo, saying: "There are many restrictions on television, but your theater has no restrictions, and you still catch some old jokes and don't let them go. Isn't this environment in vain?"
It doesn’t matter whether you are old wine in new bottles or new wine in old bottles. Follow the development of the times, read more news, pay more attention to current social phenomena, and even start from yourself and around you. Don’t be afraid that you are too special. We are all ordinary people, and aesthetics
Convergence...
So the audience wants to hear new jokes, do you have them?"
"I……"
Lao Guo already understood what the other party meant, but he didn't dare to confirm it yet.
Yao Yuan said a lot, just for the last sentence: "If you have a new joke that the audience will like, I can help you promote it on a large scale. The three melons and two dates for the tickets are nothing."
"This is my new business card, please contact me later."
He put down his business card, stood up and said, "I have a long journey and I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, leave.
Lao Guo and his wife sent him out, and when he came back, there was silence at the dinner table.
Everyone went through a lot of mental turmoil. At first, they thought this person was helping to sell tickets, so I would like to express my gratitude today. Later, they suddenly talked about the history of cross talk, and just thought he was a braggart.
But as I listened, I learned something, and finally I understood that this is what people came for.
Yu Qian picked up the business card, looked at it, and said, "Hey, last time I saw you, I was a college student, now I'm a boss?"
"Then what does he mean?"
"Still don't understand? Let Tokugang write a new joke, and then he will promote it."
Yu Qian held a cigarette between his fingers: "This is called investment."
