Chapter 27 The seventh chapter is single-mouthed, the master is the first and I am the second

At the end of 2008, I started to try to speak stand-up, which was also a new requirement for my own business.At first, Master organized a one-talk session to talk about "The Picture of Good and Evil".I took the initiative to ask for an opening, and I also planned to do a stand-up, mainly because I had been talking about cross-talk with Da Yi before, and there was very little talk about the stand-up, and all I said were traditional short passages, and I didn’t talk about long-form stand-up in a very systematic way. I think it's time for me to exercise.This is how I am. After a while, I feel dissatisfied with myself and want to find new breakthroughs.

I myself like ghost stories, so I chose "Liao Zhai" as my first choice. At that time, I decided to say that I also heard from the old man that I liked this story better.But after all, I have never talked about this kind of stand-up story in the theater, and I was not sure when I said it before, and I felt a little uneasy, and my thoughts were relatively conservative at the time. I followed the old storytelling route, and I was thinking about how to tell the story. Clearly, after talking for three days, the more I talked, the more unhappy I became. I was completely dissatisfied with the effect of my work. I felt that the story progressed too plainly. I didn’t grasp the feelings of the characters. The audience doesn't laugh, just listens in silence, so it's not a stand-up.Of course it doesn’t mean that I did not perform well in this job. Until now, there are still audiences asking for a sequel on the Internet, asking why Cao Yunjin didn’t continue talking, but I know that I haven’t met my own requirements, so on the fourth day, how can I I couldn't go on anymore, so I temporarily changed it to a stand-up paragraph.

Some people don’t continue to study if they don’t agree. They give a reason that they may not be suitable for stand-up comedy, but I am not.Some people may not be able to figure out how to go the right way all their lives, but I will try my best to think why I can't achieve the effect I want. I don't have to imitate Master, I want to not only What should I do if I want to speak well and have my own style?Counterparts pay attention to one-on-one sentences, the burden is not funny, and you can also smash each other and find fun on each other, while stand-up comedy requires one person to jump in and out of the performance. If the feeling is right, the burden can be released.Jokes are dead, but people are alive, so I just think about it myself, thinking about it hard.I told myself that if I, Cao Yunjin, wanted to compete, there would be no result.

Soon after Master’s "Picture of Good and Evil" was finished, Deyun Club held another stand-up session. Master, Li Jing and I were the only three of us.This time I am talking about one of the eight sticks of stand-up comedy "Zhang Guangtai" and "Havoc at Simeitang". Master also said that this time I used it to re-interpret it on the spot, and the effect is completely different from what I said at the beginning.I feel that I have already figured out how to say it alone, how to disassemble this joke, including adding some things that fit my image, interpreting the characters more fully, and shaking the burden more thoroughly. The effect feels right.

People are like this, the work is done well, and I am also happy, which correspondingly fully arouses my interest in continuing to talk about stand-up. "Simeitang" is just a section in the middle of "Zhang Guangtai", and there are many plots behind it. The audience also began to ask me what happened later, asking for the content behind the story, and I had an idea. We have a garden at home, why not Speaking of which, I might as well continue to finish "Zhang Guangtai Going Home" in Deyun Library.After talking about it several times, everyone responded enthusiastically and liked it.The more I speak, the more addicted I become, and telling stories to everyone became my favorite thing at the end of 2008.

Deyun Library officially opens. My teacher, Mr. Jin Wensheng, sits in the library every day. I talk on weekend afternoons. At first, I also tell short stories. Until one day, because I was studying, I opened the first book on a whim. Once, after I finished speaking, the comments on the Internet were very popular. I didn’t even think about writing a long story. As a result, some people compared me and spoke a little irritatingly, "Can you speak? It’s just the ability to speak once." "Gold can’t be won." Read a long book, and run away as soon as I say it.” My stubborn temper came back, don’t you think I can’t do it?Then I will say it again, one after another, their aggressive method is successful, I am a person who can compete with others, "Sui and Tang Dynasties" said it 12 times in one breath, the audience is very respectful, quite sought after, I said it with interest Here it is, sometimes I can talk for more than two hours in a book, and my voice is hoarse. It ends when Cheng Yaojin was born, and then he has written many books. To sum up, Cao Yunjin has told a lot of stories: " Zhang Guangtai Comes Home", "Xin Fourteen Niang", "The Strange Case of a Murdered House in Leather Trousers Alley", "A Dream of Brothels", "Ghost Breaks Up Private Property", "Yao Jiajing", "Wind Horse and Sparrow" and "Official Fighting".Here is a sentence of "Dream of Brothels", which is really a book I made up. The reason is that my master recorded 600 episodes of storytelling for Shanxi Mobile. One afternoon I was free, so I went to listen to it 3 times, every 25 minutes. I don’t need a tape recorder, just rely on my brain’s memory. After listening to it, I think the story is good. I went home and sorted it out, and I got together a book that lasted about two hours. After sorting it out, I really couldn’t put it down. Said the first time.

The beginning is finished, what should we do next?You can't hang the button halfway and don't unbutton it, and the audience won't agree.Ask my master to listen again?He already finished recording the ending, and I didn't have time to ask him to tell me.Fortunately, I found the original Pingtan Ci, but the book turned out to be ghosts, foxes and fairies. I didn’t set the story according to the mythical plot at the beginning, so although there are references, how to get the story back has to be made up by myself. .I just sat in the room and edited it by myself, and wrote down a little bit when I thought of it, and finally completed the whole "Dream of Brothels". Be happy.

The library sells tickets at 11 o'clock every day. At the beginning, many people who started my storytelling were also regular fans. They were all familiar faces. They liked my counterpart cross talk, and they also came to listen to my storytelling.The seats in the library are not reserved. It’s such a big place. There are 60 people. Everyone wants to sit in the first row. That seat is closest to me, but if you want to sit in the first row, you have to arrive earlier than everyone else. , standing at the front of the entering team, the first to enter the door. The library usually opens at 2:00 pm. At the earliest, some audience members arrived at 1:30 and happily sat in the first row. As a result, some people arrived earlier than him, and the time was a little earlier. Later, some audiences arrived at 12:00. In the end, people started to line up at 9 or 10 o'clock.Because the tickets are bought on the spot and there is no online booking, I said that it was not difficult to buy tickets at the beginning. Many people don’t know that Cao Yunjin is still storytelling in the library, but good stories spread thousands of miles. In the end, the person at the box office told me: "Jin Zi, guess what, tickets were issued at 11 o'clock, and 60 tickets were sold out within 10 minutes." It was also full, which I am really pleased with.

Queuing in the library has become a trend. When I came here, I often saw the narrow alleys being filled with crowds. Some audience members who were new to the cross talk even asked, "Heh, have all the cross talk listeners lined up here?" "No , This is listening to Cao Yunjin’s storytelling, just to sit in the first row.” “If you don’t come early, you don’t even have a stool, so you can buy a standing ticket.” The time for storytelling can be long, and the standing ticket for 2 hours is exhausting.In such a situation, it was cold and ten degrees below zero. The audience was very persistent, and I was also very moved. I felt shivering when I got out of the car, and the audience came here from 9 o'clock and stood here after eating breakfast. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, what kind of spirit is this?

So every time I talk about books, I will arrive very early, get up early from home, come to the background, go out for a walk in a while, see my audience, and occasionally hear some small stories about them. Also found it very interesting.I remember a female audience, it was really interesting, she came to buy tickets at 9:00 in the morning, she was the first to come, and left after buying tickets at 11:00, and came back at 12:30, she was stupid, why did everyone There is still a queue here, because she is a new audience to listen to books, and she doesn't know the rule of the library that there are no reserved seats. In the end, she has tickets and no seats. She asked someone for a long time to add a stool to sit in the corner.When she went back, she cried on the forum: "I was the first to buy a ticket, but I sat in the last row." But from that day on, she came at 10 o'clock every day and stopped moving, waiting there earnestly. After queuing up, I finally sat in the first row as I wished, because no one was earlier than her, especially hardcore.In fact, I will keep these short stories of the audience in my heart, because every sincere move is an invisible encouragement to me, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart.

There are many familiar faces in the library, the space is small, and it is very close to me. I think that time is a period of time when I am very close to the audience. They come every day and sit in front of my eyes. Everyone is very friendly when they meet each other. I often watch jokes, we are like a big family, I am not talking about books, I sit and chat with everyone.The audience talked to me very naturally. When they said, "Jin Zi, the performance was good today, and I'll be back tomorrow." I said, "Come on, go slowly, be safe, and see you tomorrow." Everyone is familiar with it. It's very natural to say hello. The library usually arranges two people to talk, my partner Liu Yuntian is in the head, and I talk to the latter. There is a ten-minute break in between. As soon as Liu Yuntian comes down, I will go to the stage and sit there drinking tea and chatting with everyone. But later, it turned into a group photo time. Groups of audiences came up to take pictures, and I was in charge of posing on the seats. Everyone was very happy.It is impossible for me to come up again when I said it, because there is no intuitive communication with the audience, and it is not cordial. I want to look at everyone, and everyone looks at me. I am happy and happy, and I have rested. Ladies and gentlemen, let's start now." In the old library in the past, the old storyteller was like this, chatting with the audience at the beginning, not talking about books, but chatting about various news and gossip. Why do you always talk about the storyteller? It’s because storytelling is very difficult and requires knowledge, storytelling, and fun. Many of the audience listening to the book are college students. I only graduated from high school. Why should I let them listen to me?I have to think about it, it’s not enough just to have burdens, and it’s not enough to just have storytelling, knowledge is also needed. , Many viewers have heard it, I remember it very deeply, one viewer still held a book to listen to it, that means: I see what you have new, you have to tell something different from the book, and you have to attract Me, I agree.So for the same story, I have to tell it differently. He holds the book and doesn’t know what I’m going to tell next. I let him listen to the book and listen to it.To describe it like this, it seems that I am fighting wits and courage with the audience, but it is actually in such a state. I also said well, and their most direct feedback is applause. Once I finished the book, everyone did not leave, and they all watched it with a smile on their faces. He confirmed me and slapped me for two full minutes. I was a little flattered at the time. This kind of recognition cannot be replaced by any language. It's not just the audience, because the library is just across from the cross talk theater. I'm telling stories here, and my brothers and sisters hold a cross talk meeting on the opposite side, talking about traditional cross talk.I often see them don't go home after talking about cross talk, but come to listen to my storytelling and learn things.The small library didn't have much space at first, but in the end, there was a crowd of people standing in the backcourt, and all the seniors and juniors crowded into the room.They all know that counterpart crosstalk is easier to learn than stand-up. They can listen to recordings and watch videos, and there are a lot of materials to learn from. My storytelling is different every day. After I finish my story today, it will be gone tomorrow. The stories and burdens are all new, so They came to watch the scene, recorded it with their own equipment and went back to think about it for themselves.So at that time, there were many people in the room, not just the audience. From the end of 2008 to the beginning of 2009, I continued to talk about the book for several months, which indeed attracted many audiences and broadened my business path.And as soon as everyone likes it, they are very willing to share it. Some viewers uploaded my book on the Internet so that more people can download and listen to it. In this way, more and more people on the Internet began to look for Cao Yunjin’s book, and more When people start to know me, it is also a different kind of publicity for myself.Later, the "Happy Teahouse" of Beijing Literature and Art Radio broadcast my "Official Fighting", which also gave me a good news. At the same time, the stand-up comedy and storytelling selections, including famous storytelling masters, were broadcast at the same time. High, the old man is around 20, I can reach 45, of course I still can't compare with my master.
