Deyun Club’s variety show “De Yun Dou Laugh Club” is now on the air, and De Yun Club’s small theater is finally “out of the box”. In the past two years, the actors of the Deyun Club have become popular. They have broken the limitations of some traditional comedians in the image and style. With the help of the super communication power in the short video era, a large number of “Deyun girls” flocked to perform. Hard to find.

Young audiences regard cross talk as a new generation of “trends”, while older generations of audiences feel that cross talk performances are gradually losing its original flavor, and in the polarized comments, these are still the ones that have been pushed to the forefront. Cross talk actors. They are also going through a “period of confusion” driven by the times. More and more idols are brought to the stage of cross talk, forcing them to make continuous changes. However, being able to amuse the audience is always their first priority. One important task, even if this change is uncomfortable for them.

The “Big Truth” in the title is written by Wenshun Zhang, the founder of Deyun Society. As a social song of Deyun Society, it will appear after every performance. This group of portraits was borrowed as the title, in order to hear what kind of truth these comedians want to say in the face of the moment.

Deyun Club talks about cross talk, the ability to eat, what it does is business, and what it sells is tickets.

The cross talk industry is like aAt a late-night snack stall, some of the children sell meat skewers, some cook instant noodles, and some cold beer. When the audience comes, they have to eat bowls of rice regardless of what they eat. There is nothing too inscrutable, such as language arts, etc., that it cannot be said too magically. The audience comes in for fun. You make it as difficult as a math problem. Who will come to see you? But you have to respect cross talk, because this thing is too powerful. It can support generations of people for hundreds of years. It should not be underestimated, but it should not be overstated.

At the same time, cross talk is also a very tolerant industry. We have Yue Yunpeng and Qin Xiaoxian who are sought after by thousands of people, and we also have the peak of cross talk, Luan Yunping, which is like a table of delicious but shabby cucumbers. There are also carrots carved with dragons and white radishes carved with clouds that smoke but have no taste at all. They are all right. Because once in the theater, there are still a few people who can listen to “Burial Flower Ci”, or niche art. If we continue to sing “Burial Flower Ci”, Deyun Club will not be where it is today.

Now those young people on stage talk about cross talk, I really don’t look at it very much, because before the time, I don’t know how to talk about cross talk. Entering the cross talk industry is like pickles in a sauce jar, one or two years , I can’t see what it looks like, it must be a long process, through my own exercise, through the influence of the environment, slowly forming my own style, it is still too early. Like Zhang Jiuling, who is about 9 years old, he has been in the Deyun Club for more than 10 years. I haven’t officially talked to him about his problems. It’s too early. Maybe he doesn’t understand when I talk about it. It’s exhausting me. It made him so angry that he couldn’t commit it.

My reason is that thunder, rain and dew are all gods. Whether you can hold onto and stabilize this bowl of rice is all your own good fortune.

Traditional cross talk is the cross talk you heard more than a hundred years ago. If this cross talk is not changed, it will definitely be eliminated now. It must have undergone countless changes by countless people over the past hundred years. , In order to be performed on stage by current performers. It can only be said that we will retain its inherent logic and play methods, and add a lot of things that belong to the current performers. Such works can only be accepted on stage, so there is no pure traditional cross talk, unless it is a special intangible cultural heritage.

I remember a female comedian in the United Kingdom said: “People always laugh at me, so I thought, just charge a little fee.” This is a very real and very sad sentence.

Maybe I am a sad person. I have a lot of concerns in the creation of cross talk, including comedy. I think that as long as someone laughs, someone will be hurt. It’s like the happier I get with my partner Sun on stage, and the big guy is not happy, but the more Sun gets hurt a bit. He is using his injured money to make money to support his family. You go to listen to the cross talk of Master Hou, the characters in him are not enough IQ to cause a certain burden, but if you think about it carefully, this is a story about mental retardation, and his core is very sad.

And now it’s getting harder and harder to create. I wrote a work similar to “Human Ghost Love Is Not Ending” last year, probably about Sun Yue’s father coming back to him one day after his death, and complaining over there The price is too expensive. A bowl of ramen is 1.8 billion. I hope that Sun Yue can burn more paper money for him, and Sun Yue will burn him a mobile phone, and he must pay attention to the details and burn a charger. We were both very excited after the creation, but it was a pity that we didn’t perform on stage for some reason.

Although I have often appeared on variety shows recently, my heart still belongs to cross talk. Variety shows are more to support the family and people always have to eat. I have not stopped the creation of cross talk. Due to the epidemic, Deyun Club has sealed the box for 7 months. The audience is waiting to open the box. The expectation has reached a maximum value. I just want to tell everyone who is in the epidemic. I have been working hard during this period. There are nearly 200 actors in the backstage. Who can really come up with something? After all, creating this thing is the most basic thing a crosstalk actor should do.

I used to be competitive, and I always felt that other people didn’t say so well, so how could I be better than me? Later, I gradually realized that if someone is no better than you, and you are not as good as you, but if he is liked by many people, then he is better than you, that is his strength, and he is shining.

I’m a relatively straightforward person. Maybe Deyun Club has become popular, and we have gradually gained a lot of fans with us crosstalk actors, but this state of “exposure” is actually quite uncomfortable, and I don’t know why. The audience seems to be more interested in my life than in my cross talk. The audience also prefers a lip service and a weird attitude during the performance. In fact, it is quite helpless and can only learn to accept it. It is true that Guo Degang is my uncle. This can become a stalk and a burden, but I am particularly taboo to talk about it on the open.

Everyone is right. I just don’t have a solid basic skills. You can’t lie. After all, a mouthful on the stage reflects that the audience sees clearly than anyone else, and is lucky enough to be pushed to this one. Location, this is something I didn’t expect at all. The most frightening thing behind our reputation is that your unskilled business will be magnified. You can’t do it like before. This one is not well said, it’s okay. We have the next one. We will slowly grind this year. No, next year, the small theater will have such a mechanism for the growth of cross talk actors. Once it is polished, it will naturally be seen by the audience. But now you are the other way around, which has resulted in me having to present the best state and work to everyone in every scene, which is particularly difficult for me now.

And the most embarrassing problem right now is that everyone likes to upload videos to the Internet. It is not the most essential part of my performance, but some sudden and funny on-site reactions, which are not always present in every scene. It’s impossible for us to put it into the cross talk just to find such an “accident”, but the whole cross talk is no one watched. I also tried to say only the words in my cross talk for a week, and I didn’t react to anything that happened on the court. That week I looked like a dead person. Qin Xiaoxian disappeared from the Internet. Then I knew that everyone It’s all for this, so why should I talk about cross talk? It’s a little helpless.

I have been running for four, and there are so many young comedians coming out from behind. Sometimes I am struggling and struggling. Shouldn’t they try things that are too avant-garde? I don’t know how, I just think it’s inappropriate. It’s like I can’t dance “857857” on stage to cater to young people. But I am very afraid that I will really become an old-school comedian. My heart is still very young and full of vigor.

One time, a girl in the audience called me “Uncle”. I felt very horrified at the time. Then I thought, these little girls came to listen to cross talk at the age of 18. My father and I are about the same age, so I can’t call me uncle. ! Sometimes I think that I was so desperate back then, how suddenly I became a middle-aged cross talk actor, a little trance, but I must admit that my youth has passed.

Before, a fan commented to me on Weibo: “Hahahaha, you are so funny, you have to laugh off your head.” When I thought about it, my head laughed off, and there was no head at all. Then I won’t be a guillotine? I was on the stage and told the matter in a half-burdened and half-narrative way. The result was very unexpected and everyone in the audience was laughing crazy. That was the first time I felt that cross talk was so happy.

I only talked about cross talk after graduating from college. I still have a gap with those who have been in front of Master since I was a child. In order to find my way, I can only keep throwing myself on the stage and in the theater. To polish, I performed more than 400 performances in 2018. During this period, I slowly discovered that some audiences like to listen to me sing duo, imitate some brothers and sisters, and slowly incorporate it into my own works, but I never Haven’t learned this systematically, it may be the gene blessing of the people of Northeast China, or it may be talent.

ListenThe previous cross talk was also a part of the creation. Like the cross talk of the master teacher Hou Yaowen in the 1980s, it is a new piece of special traditional cross talk, and it was also created in conjunction with the popularity of the 80s. What we learned is a kind of treatment of the program. The relationship between the characters, the portrayal of the characters, the burden and the structure, these are all frameworks, which will not change, and are the most essential things. They can be applied at any time. Using this framework to cover things 20 years later will make people laugh. Come.

Maybe you find it uncomfortable to listen to my cross talk, but I know which direction to go is humor, which direction is funny, cross talk is not funny, not making a face, take your stool off and throw it to the audience to enjoy it. Cross talk amuses you through the language environment and language structure. How many people are willing to sit down and listen to this? They are all taking pictures with their cameras, shouting that you are so handsome. This is not a cross talk. Of course I am not qualified to point fingers at the audience. It is like selling melon seeds. Others spend money on my melon seeds. I care if they give it away, throw it away, or keep it for myself. I just don’t agree that some cross talk actors have this kind of pursuit. You have to learn to talk and sing before you can beautify, right?

Traditional cross talk is not outdated, just like keeping it in the water of more than 80 degrees Celsius, keeping it warm. There will always be a day when traffic stars can’t bring goods, but the radio will continue to broadcast cross talks between Mr. Hou Baolin and Mr. Liu Baorui, because humorous things are popular and everyone can listen to them. Traffic is not something everyone can do. There will always be the day when the cry is tired.

Crosstalk is an art. The more art, the more you have to listen to the basics. It’s not a good idea to look at the big lantern from a distance, and look at the big lantern up close. The lantern is a lantern and it is full of holes. It follows It should be that it is a dog when you look far away, and a dog when you look up close. If you hit it and don’t go, you curse it and you don’t go. You have to say it all. This is called art. If you miss oneSay or say whatever you want, that’s called chat.

Meng Hetang 32 years old, 11 years on stage

Sometimes I advise the young people around me not to hide behind because they feel that they are not good at business. There are so many kinds of cross talk, so you are still young, you can learn slowly, but you must move forward. You have to show your face, and you have to be able to experience the fun of talking cross talk in the audience’s reaction, otherwise how can you persist? Maybe I’m a worried person. I like to take others with me wherever I go on the show, with Jiu Xi and Qin Xiaoxian, provided they need it. I think that to give young actors a chance, maybe this is a double-edged sword. Now fans are more willing to be attracted by your looks. This should strengthen your determination to create good works. No one can stay young forever, sooner or later. Someone younger than you will come up. If you don’t want to be a gust of wind, you should know what to do.
