Chapter 477: Sadness for Decline
In the past, crosstalk could not be the bottom in the field of folk art. Now, being able to rank behind Peking Opera is the elegance of others and the honor of crosstalk. In fact, it is the tragedy of the decline of Peking Opera.
……………………………………………………………………
The crosstalk between the two Peking Opera sections makes a "legged live", which is both appropriate and a good transitional program. Although Wang Xiaomao and Guo Xiaotie were singing in a wrong way just now, the plot is ultimately connected to the next "The Chopping of Beauty" that the troupe will perform, which can also give the audience a potential continuation of the audience's memory and feeling of Peking Opera.
Wang Xiaomao has a good idea, but there is a problem here. "Lei Zihua" means that two crosstalk actors "subcontract to catch up with the role" to learn singing and sing operas in disguise. Most of them are local operas, but there are also Peking Operas, but they both wear their looks, wear outfits, and perform others. It will make it awkward for the audience who knows how to watch it.
Furthermore, like this kind of "legged" movie, the funny guys usually claim to be good at the female role, but at this time it is Wang Xiaomao's funny guy, but Xu Sheng's appearance. Master Hou has a funny guy in "Catching Cao" who claims to be a face--at least a man, and the problem-supporting guys have to sing a man-child play, but Guo Xiaotie is wearing green clothes at this time. (This movie "Catching Cao" is a funny guy in Mr. Guo Quanbao, and Master Hou is rarely supported.)
In short, Wang Xiaomao wants to play "legged job", but it is not suitable.
But it doesn’t matter. Just now, when Guo Xiaotie mentioned Zhang Junqiu, Wang Xiaomao remembered that Shao Ma Ye said that there was Zhang Junqiu’s “brother” in “Selling Tickets”, so he thought that although this performance was not “a leg work”, it was a crosstalk “Selling Tickets” with Peking Opera as the theme.
Then Wang Xiaomao talked about Peking Opera with Guo Xiaotie and argued with each other, which led to the fact that he was not capable and boasted about how good the Peking Opera was, which led to this crosstalk...
Next is that the audience may not be all looking forward to it - but Baoye and four old actors were present, some older audiences, Wang Xiaomao, Guo Xiaotie and Yu Daqian, are looking forward to the Peking Opera "The Chopping of Beauty" in "Qin Xianglian".
The "ticket" scene on stage is enjoyable, and listening to the scene off stage is enjoyable. Last time when Wang Xiaomao listened to this break, it was Liang Yixin who mocked him. This time he had already reunited with Yang Mi. He hurriedly took off his makeup backstage and went to the audience with Guo Xiaotie and Yu Daqian, listening to the scene with peace of mind. Even if there is "Qin Xianglian" behind it, it is not Guo Xiaotie who will play it.
During this period, Yang Mi saw that Wang Xiaomao was also sitting in the audience and wanted to come over to talk to Wang Xiaomao, but Wang Xiaomao didn't care to say more to her. First of all, the scene on the stage was very exciting, and secondly, Wang Xiaomao also discussed with Guo Xiaotie and Yu Daqian at this time simply over the crosstalk that he was about to perform. Guo Xiaotie wanted Wang Xiaomao to say as much as possible, even though he was a supporting actor.
This Peking Opera is really exciting. The troupe is not very famous and sang it hard. After the performance, it won a lot of applause. Of course, I don’t know how much of the applause is really understood, and how much is it that others applauded, and I followed it. Maybe Chen Shimei was killed, and the women in the audience were satisfied to watch it...
This story of Peking Opera is the finale. The Peking Opera industry does not follow the folk art industry. The penultimate program is not called "the second one", but the finale. They are called "the finale". Later, the last group crosstalk "The Biao Gua" that Wang Xiaomao, Guo Xiaotie and Yu Daqian has become the "big scroll", of course, in their folk art industry, it is called "storage".
Because Guo Xiaotie hopes that Wang Xiaomao will say more in such a rare opportunity and occasion, although he is a group talk, it is Wang Xiaomao and Yu Daqian who are on stage first. Wang Xiaomao is the supporting actor later, but he is the one who makes fun of the previous short story.
Wang Xiaomao was willing to say more. It was not to show his face or become famous. He still didn't want crosstalk to be distorted, so he wanted to show more real crosstalk to the audience. It was not just crosstalk, but he also wanted to show more other traditional arts and put a few more words. So his cushion was the most traditional way of "entering life", and he wouldn't even say that in his own teahouse in the past.
"Today is a great honor. First of all, I am able to cooperate with Teacher Yu again."
"No, kitten, don't always call me 'teacher'. We are brothers, don't be so polite."
Crosstalk actors are particularly entangled with seniority. In their concept, the word "teacher" cannot be flattering each other like in the entertainment industry. If Yu Daqian works with Guo Xiaotie, it doesn't matter, because the audience knows that they are peers, but Wang Xiaomao is of limited fame after all, Yu Daqian doesn't want the audience to misunderstand, and he indirectly holds Wang Xiaomao.
"No, I'm sincere. I admire your skills very much. In my heart, you are like Zhao Peiru."
"Don't! The last time you praised me like this, and when you mentioned Mr. Zhao Peiru, I was so tired. I sounded like a shadow."
"I didn't want to cheat you today. Secondly, my honor is the Peking Opera in front of me."
“They sang very well.”
"It's not only good, but I've left the 'big scroll' and 'summary' for us to say crosstalk. You must know that in the past, crosstalk could not be saved in the field of folk art. Now we can be ranked behind Peking Opera, which is also our honor." Wang Xiaomao said this, but he knew in his heart that this is actually the sorrow of the decline of Peking Opera today, but he couldn't just say that on stage.
"That's right."
Wang Xiaomao bowed to the side of the platform to thank him, and Yu Daqian responded. I don’t know what Yu Daqian was thinking at this time, but Wang Xiaomao did this to thank him and a "memorial service". Then Wang Xiaomao turned around and faced the audience, saying, “Cross talk is one of the forms of folk art.”
"That's right."
"Quyi, also known as ten kinds of juggling, play and practice, and talk about learning to learn to sing. The audience may be more familiar with talking and learning to sing, but in fact, playing and practicing is also our basic skill."
“That’s.”
"What a pity!" Wang Xiaomao sighed deeply.
"What's wrong?"
"Now there are many crosstalk and folk actors who don't talk about these things or practice them anymore. This should be said to be a kind of sadness and a manifestation of the decline of traditional art."
"You are right."
"Luckily, Teacher Yu is still alive."
"Um?"
"Teacher Yu is proficient in these basic skills."
"You are too proud of me and dare not be proficient. You have practiced a little."
"Okay. Many audiences, even many crosstalk actors, don't quite understand. What are you doing when I am a crosstalk person? In fact, folk art is all in the same way. In the past, artists used to leave the ground on the streets and life was not easy. Just say that this is a magician. Before people's attention has reached you, you start to become a waste of time. You have to say some crosstalk and attract the audience first. On the other hand, we crosstalk actors are the same. After a long time of chatting, the audience didn't hear it. This is not possible. We have to use other folk art methods to attract the audience first..."
