Chapter 310 The king of two generations of sketches
“Crosstalk drama?”
Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao looked at each other. Zhu Shimao was confused, and Chen Peisi was even more confused. No hair.
Fang Yan glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on Jiang Kun, "Teacher Jiang Kun must know, right?"
"Teacher Ma once told me."
Although Jiang Kun became a monk and learned cross talk halfway, and his basic skills are only half-baked, his knowledge is definitely not low.
In the cross talk industry, in addition to cross talk, group cross talk and stand-up comedy, there is also a kind of cross talk performance with makeup and plot. Techniques such as "Four Shakes" are all used in cross talk, so it is called cross talk drama.
And around 1949, many folk art troupes had combined cross talk drama with Peking opera.
As for the combination of sketches and cross talk dramas, it started with "Eating Noodles" by Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao.
Including later sketches such as "Brother-in-law and Brother-in-law", "Playing Poker", "Free Mobile Phone" and other sketches, there are a lot of cross talk elements and techniques, and even "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" used a lot of cross talk three times and four shakes And funny methods like vomiting after eating.
Therefore, crosstalk actors like Feng Gong, Niu Qun, and Guo Donglin are very familiar with skits.
For example, the cross talk drama is his uncle, the comedy sketch is his nephew, and the cross talk drama is his uncle's cousin in the comedy sketch. The seniority cannot be messed up, and the titles cannot be messed up.
The first and second generation sketch kings, Chen Peisi and Zhao Lirong, both followed this path.
When it came to the third generation of sketch king Zhao Benshan, he incorporated the elements and techniques of duohuan on the basis of sketch.
The reason why today's sketches are not good to watch is not only because they are too preachy, but also because they do not have the skills and ability to exaggerate the baggage of cross talk dramas, nor do they have the humor and humor of duohuan. They have directly degraded to the level of ordinary dramas, which are bland and dull. Just like drinking boiled water.
It's funny only if it's funny!
…………
After listening to Jiang Kun’s introduction, Zhu Shimao suddenly realized: “In other words, I am here to be a compliment, and Pei Si is a tease, right?”
< br>"That's not a cross talk anymore, it's just a richer performance!" Chen Peisi frowned.
Jiang Kun waved his hand, "I think Teacher Fang wants you to tease each other when you perform."
"That's right, that's what I mean."
Fang Yan suggested cutting off the beginning and end of "The Actor Test", refining it into a short sketch, and then using some of the baggage techniques in cross talk dramas, such as "vomiting after eating" "Everything was kneaded into it, and finally a work of more than ten minutes with accurate lyrics was formed.
"This is good! This format is fresher than the pantomime sketch of "Pepper Noodles"!"
Chen Peisi's frowning eyebrows relaxed.
“Is it fresh?”
Fang Yan said: "If this show really comes to fruition, you will have created a new type of folk art. You may be called the 'Father of Sketch' in the future."
Zhu Shimao is one Ji Ling said, "Don't say that, you are the 'father of sketches'."
Chen Peisi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you are the father of sketches."
< br> "It doesn't matter what we say, let's leave it to the people." Fang Yan warned: "The top priority now is that you have to arrange this skit. Don't be too hasty when organizing jokes. It's best to arrange the plot and lay the groundwork. , Only in this way can we shake off the burden."
Chen Peisi said: "But Lao Mao and I don't know how to do cross talk drama."
Fang Yan turned his head: "Teacher Jiang Kun, I'm afraid you have to take action on this."
Jiang Kun agreed and took on the important task of helping Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao rearrange the sketch.
Huang Yihe sighed with emotion: "It would be great if there were more sketches like this."
"If there is no mandatory educational significance, I believe that funny sketches will only be used in the future. There will be more and more, and it will get better and better.”
Dialect said meaningfully.
Huang Yihe asked: "This is also the trickiest and most difficult place to deal with. Teacher Fang, I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
"There is no need to force every program of the Spring Festival Gala to have educational significance."< br>
Fang Yan said with a smile: "This sketch of Pei Si is purely to make the common people Happy, can't we arrange for someone with positive energy?"
Huang Yihe smiled bitterly: "But at this point, where can we find it?"
"In the future, we can do it. An advertisement for sketches was published in "China Television News"
Fang Yan said: "But now, if the matter is urgent, I will write the script for this sketch."
"That's great!"
Huang Yihe was so excited that he quickly asked if he needed anything. .
“For this sketch, I need to find an old lady who can act, and she must be simple and approachable.”
“Do you have a suitable candidate?”
"Zhao Lirong, my mother likes to watch her opera reviews very much."
"I wrote it down."
Huang Yihe asked: "Teacher Fang, can you reveal this? What is the skit about? "
Fang Yan glanced at it: "What do you think of a day in the life of a heroic mother?"
Huang Yihe immediately felt full of excitement when he heard the name. Positive energy, rubbing his hands excitedly. "But it's a pity that the casting for "A Dream of Red Mansions" has not been completed yet. Otherwise, they could have made an appearance on the Spring Festival Gala."
"You have reminded me that although "A Dream of Red Mansions" is not good, there is still "Journey to the West"!"
The two discussed the details of the Spring Festival Gala, and Fang Yan was very much looking forward to the difference. At the 1984 Spring Festival Gala in my previous life.
It has to be funny, it has to have a main theme, it has to be sensational! I don’t know how to lose such a rich battle!
………………
After lunch, Jiang Kun stayed at the Bayi Factory and continued to discuss the rearrangement of the sketch with Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao.
Fang Yan and Huang Yihe went to the Chinese Pingju Opera Troupe where Zhao Lirong was located, which happened to be in Xiluo Garden in Fengtai.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the old man in the security room, "Sorry, comrade, who are you looking for?"
"We are looking for Teacher Zhao Lirong."
Dialect Glancing at Huang Yihe, Huang Yihe immediately took out his universal work permit and handed it over.
The old man looked at it and said enthusiastically: "Teacher Zhao Lirong, you are here, you are probably singing "Flowers as Matchmakers" right now."
Looking at their leaving figures, the young man said in surprise: "Who are they?"
"Then He is the director of CCTV's literary and art department."
The old man was amazed, "I don't know who the young man is, but he must be a high official."
The young man exclaimed: "What are you doing? See it? ”
The old man rolled his eyes and said: "Nonsense, that can make the director of CCTV go all out, either a high-ranking official or an uncle!"
While they were discussing behind their backs, the two of them followed the direction given by the security guard. We arrived at the open space in front of the building.
"Blooming in spring, fourteen to five six, June six, watching the valley show, six or nine heads in spring."
Listening to Zhao Lirong's familiar voice, Fang Yan couldn't help but think of the previous sentence .
"What is needed now is a trendy performance. The movements must be explosive, not like that! It should be like this, 'June six, June six, June six, June six!' ”
When they looked at the second-generation king of sketches, Zhao Lirong also discovered two strangers:
“Comrade, who are you looking for?”
“My name is Fang Yan. This is director Huang Yihe from CCTV, and I’m here to see you today.”
Dialect reported to his family.
“Hey, you said it’s so far away, why don’t you go all the way and just say it on the phone.”
"I don't understand on the phone. You are an old artist, so we should run errands."
Fang Yan has met many old ladies, and this one has the closest impression, as she is like a member of his own family.
Teacher Zhao is 55 years old this year. He is a very famous Pingju opera actor, but he has not yet developed into sketches and TV series. He will play the role of "The Queen of Che Chi Country", which will be in the future.
Huang Yihe explained the purpose of his visit, and Zhao Lirong hesitated and said:
“I have never acted in a sketch before, so it would be fine to participate, but I don’t know what to act in?”
"As long as you nod, we will be responsible for the book, and Teacher Fang will do it himself!"
"Then, let me try it?"
"I have to try it, just It’s settled!”
“Hey, are you going to arrange it for me?” Zhao Lirong said with a hint of Tangshan.
“You said that I came all the way, and I still don’t have to wait in line?”
Dialect amused the old lady.
No one would have thought that in the future, this sketch could be used to identify spies, such as "Palace Jade Wine".
After chatting for a while, he "fooled" Zhao Lirong into the creative team, and then went home.
For Fang Yan, the only regret is that he could not gather the three generations of sketch kings on one stage.
If only I could find Zhao Benshan, the "King of Poetry Reading", to sing "The spring breeze of reform blows all over the earth, the spring breeze blows all over the earth~"
At this moment, Huang Yihe said: "Teacher Fang, we have a heartfelt request."
Fang Yan asked and found out that he originally thought that the Spring Festival Gala should be like a TV series, and it must also have and show The perfect song for the party.
"I think it would be more suitable for Mr. Qiao to write this poem."
"Teacher Fang, what we need is not one song, but two." Huang Yihe said in a sincere tone : "One for the opening ceremony and one for the closing ceremony."
Fang Yan touched his chin and remained silent.
Huang Yihe repeatedly begged: "Please, Teacher Fang, the lyrics don't need to be too complicated. As long as they are about family reunions, the reunion of the motherland, the love between relatives, hopes for the future, and other related themes, everything is fine."
"Let's do the opening, and leave the ending to Mr. Qiao."
Fang Yan did not intend to write "Unforgettable Tonight", a classic and classic song.
