I read Mingyue's novel "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" back then, and I really liked his writing style, which is natural and humorous, and the writing is vivid. I tried to use Boss Liu's format according to others, and I laughed. In my master's school, Liu Yuntian is my younger brother, and he worships under my master's storytelling school, but in fact, in the cross talk world, I should be regarded as his younger brother, and I am younger than him in terms of age.Liu Yuntian learned from his teacher very early. At the age of ten, he had already learned from Mr. Meng Fangui, a famous comic artist. Mr. Meng Fangui was the disciple of Mr. Gao Yingpei, and Mr. Gao was the apprentice of Mr. Zhao Peiru.My master is Guo Degang, my master is Hou Yaowen, and Mr. Hou Yaowen is also Mr. Zhao Peiru’s apprentice. Therefore, we are still very close, and we are both on Mr. Zhao Peiru’s branch. same door.

I started working with Liu Yuntian in 2004. He is an undergraduate student in the Department of Performing Arts of the Central Academy of Chinese Opera. He was still in school when he came to us. He came with his partner. It's okay for this company to perform with us.At that time, we were still at the Huasheng Flyover in Shilihe. My master thought, let these two people go on stage and have a look.I didn't see the two of them coming because I was working on stage. It was Tuesday, and it was a stand-up performance as usual. I performed Mr. Liu Baorui's famous piece "Tianwang Temple". At that time, the performance was still very immature. Later, I was very dissatisfied. As I was passing through the waiting room, I saw two strange young people. I looked them up and down. I thought: Hey, just looking at the clothes and hairstyles of these two, they don’t look like traditional artists. I don’t know. Why are you here?

When we were in Huasheng Tianqiao, there was no backstage, and there were not many audiences. Especially on Tuesday afternoon, there were only five or six people scattered. We usually sat under the stage after changing our coats. I changed that day Clothes sat under the stage with He Yunwei, watching Liu Yuntian and the two of them work.The two of them collaborated on a traditional cross talk "Tie the Doll" which they adapted a bit.I used an excerpt from "Praise the Residence" before. After listening to it, I said to He Yunwei: "Brother, I now feel that I am a master."

After this audition, Teacher Liu joined our group, and our team has grown again (I’m not only talking about the size, but also the size). After a while, the master felt that he was performing with the little boy who came with him. It's not very suitable. In our words, it doesn't look good to stand alone. There is no platform edge, so we are thinking about changing it.At that time, I happened to be performing with Li Wenshan, Mr. Li. Mr. Li was old, and I was too young. The two of us have a solid foundation for cooperation, but there are big obstacles in our performance. I can’t let it go, but his Too hard and too tired.Later, my master mentioned to me: "Jin Zi, why don't you change your partner, I think Liu Yuntian is quite suitable." Since the master said so, I also intend to go further. Having a partner of the same age is conducive to long-term development. , I thought it was right, so I agreed to try to come. Each pair of partners had to try to walk for a while, and the result was that the effect was pretty good. As soon as we appeared, because of the huge difference in body shape, we got jackpots. That's it.

I'm with Liu Yuntian, we call it a regular partner, unless there is a special accident, like today said he went to filming, I may cooperate with Li Jing or other popular actors.But on stage, there are actually certain requirements. It’s not enough for just any popular actor to stand with me. I have to choose a partner with a comparable level of performance and popularity.Maybe everyone thinks that cross talk is a one-to-one sentence, and we just say that after we have matched the words, and we can't last a while?It’s really not that easy. Everyone has their own style, especially funny actors. If you don’t have your own style, it’s not easy to stand out. For example, when I’m on stage, my co-star needs to know where to say this sentence , Where should I not talk, sometimes my thinking jumps, like other actors cheer me up, sometimes I can't talk at all.You think you can’t even speak, and the rhythm can’t be followed at all. Sometimes a funny actor has to control the rhythm of the whole scene. When to start and when to pull back, he must be familiar with the habit of teasing actors. It needs a long period of frequent training, and the artistic level should be given that share. Otherwise, if you don't have the ability, you won't be able to get through the training, and you still won't be able to speak.

I have been working with Liu Yuntian for six years, and I have countless memories during this period, because his real name is Liu Yi, and because of his big size, I like to call him Da Yi, or Boss Liu if he has nothing to do.He is not only my good partner, but also my best friend.As I said before, when two people are working together, it is very important to get in touch. Although I usually like to talk and laugh, it seems that I don’t care about anything, but I actually have very strict requirements for my work.Many of the comic dialogues I have with Boss Liu now, some of which are called "classic works" by everyone, are repeated over and over again. Don't look at me now often say: "We don't work together in the background. "But there is a basis for what I said. Back then, I had always had a psychological shadow on Boss Liu, who even talked with me in dreams and sleep. There was one time when I was woken up by the severity of my dream. I actually Back then, I didn't think I was so scary, but when I chatted with Dayi later, he said that it was a nightmare when I got serious.

Liu Yuntian looks simple and honest, and sometimes acts silly on stage, but that is what the plot requires. He is not stupid at all, and his thinking is different from ordinary people. It's useless if you don't understand my thinking. Liu Yuntian has been able to cooperate with me for so long, and the understanding between the two of us is getting better and better. His intelligence and reaction are also indispensable.Some people say that my speech is bad and chokes people, but can you imagine that I will also be choked by Liu Yuntian?There is no such thing.I remember one time at the Zhang Yiyuan Theater, there was a TV in the background, and we watched TV programs together when we were waiting.When there is a cross talk on TV, we usually look at it. That day there was also a traditional cross talk show on TV, and it was also the work of two famous artists. One of the old gentlemen’s willow work (Liu means singing) is very good. Don’t watch it. He talks about cross talk, but Liu looks very professional, and everyone knows what he looks like. This old gentleman who talks about cross talk, Liu is definitely a master in the cross talk industry.When I thought of this, I said, "Look at him, Liu Yuntian", I called him and wanted to give him a lesson, because sometimes Dayi really doesn't work hard and is lazy, so I taught him: "Look, this is It's called ability, look at how good this opera sings, people are talking about cross talk, but you can see that these few operas sing better than professional Peking opera actors. People who are engaged in this industry have a unique skill that is unmatched by other colleagues. As long as there is one thing that can be higher than others, you can let others remember you, and you have places that others cannot reach." What do I mean? , that is to say, if you are a person who talks about cross talk, if you sing well, everyone will say: "Hey, look, he not only talks about cross talk, but also sings well." Or you are good at allegro, or you have martial arts foundation, moves Put on a good posture, in short, if you have one advantage that is stronger than others, it will help you, and everyone will look up to you. I just urged him to practice a unique skill and work hard, no matter what it is.In the end, you can guess how Liu Yuntian answered me, it was really quick and very serious: "Oh, that's okay, Jin Zi, I practice swimming well, and I am definitely the best swimmer in the cross talk industry." I was dead at that time, swimming What's the use, he can piss me off when he talks.

Naogui Nao, we two brothers, that is definitely the feeling of the proletariat. We were together when the Deyun Club was the most difficult. Someone invited us to perform in other places) We went too, and the money given at that time was naturally very little. We are two young actors, we are not well-known, and we will not be paid if we ask for a high price. If we have work, we should treat it as exercise. opportunity.I remember one time, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and every family had a reunion dinner at home to enjoy the joy of the family. Dayi and I took a performance, which was far away, so we took a taxi. I’m sorry for the little money I earned; Take the bus, and you will definitely be late due to traffic jams during the holidays.In order not to delay the performance, we made a few transfers and arrived at the place where they performed early. Because it was not time, we were embarrassed to go up and stay with them early, for fear that they would laugh at them: "These two people Why did you come so early?" The weather was not good that day, and we found a place nearby to take shelter from the rain. At the door of a large warehouse, the two of us bought a bowl of beef ramen and squatted at the door of the warehouse. While we were eating, we watched the number of people passing by on the street gradually decrease, and we knew in our hearts that they were rushing home for the holidays, while the two of us were still earning hard money here.Thinking of this, I couldn't take a bite anymore. I was bored for a long time, and I said to Liu Yuntian: "Dayi, when we earn money, we don't have to work so hard. We must spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home. How much will it be?" , we won’t perform any more.” Liu Yuntian looked at me and nodded desperately, I knew that at that time, he and I thought the same, who wouldn’t want to spend the festival at home during the big festival.

I write down these memories not to complain about life, these are actually the accumulation of bits and pieces in life. Without these experiences, how could we have such rich and colorful feelings, and how could we turn suffering into happiness and weave it into Do you want to dedicate the jokes to everyone?In fact, now, I have a lot of freedom to choose. Although I still miss going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, if I can bring joy to more people on this day, I think I will choose to spread my laughter to In the world, this is not just my job, it has become the mission I entrusted to myself, and it is an indispensable part of my life.

Working with Liu Yuntian, there are both hardships and joys. The characteristic of Mr. Liu is that he often makes mistakes on stage, and the mistakes are bizarre and unimaginable. He is wrong where others can’t be wrong, or he is persistently wrong. Very cola.The two of us have a classic piece "Learning Radio". Every time we go back to that place, we make mistakes, and the mistakes are very serious. At first, we didn't have this problem. After we made mistakes once, Teacher Liu recognized it. The paragraph originally read like this: Cao: The following is the time of the cultural program on demand by the audience. This time the program was strongly requested by cross talk actors Cao Yunjin and Liu Yuntian from Deyun Club. Liu: Oh, the program that the two of us ordered. Cao: The program the two of them order is the cross talk between Cao Yunjin and Liu Yuntian. Liu: Well, a couple who are not ashamed and shameless, do you have your own program? The burden should be like this, but he made a mistake on stage that day. Cao: The following is the time of the cultural program on demand by the audience. This time the program was strongly requested by cross talk actors Cao Yunjin and Liu Yuntian from Deyun Club. Liu: Isn't this shameless? Does anyone order their own shows? At that time, I squinted at him on the stage, lost my temper, and thought: "I want more? You just say that a couple is shameless?" I said him when I got off the stage, and he really remembered it. I thought about it, and then every time I came here, I would make mistakes. I performed several times in a row, and he made mistakes a few times in a row. I haven’t acted in "Learning Radio" for three years now. Why? I dare not say that this work is my famous work, and it is also one of my works that is relatively well-known. When I finished speaking, the response was very good. It was broadcast on TV and radio. It was also broadcast in China, everyone liked it, and everyone knew it. As a result, when performing later, people often heard people shouting ""Learn Radio", "Learn Radio"".But the more famous the cross talk joke is, the less it can be performed again, because everyone is very familiar with it and has heard it many times. When they listen to it, they know where the burden is, and they usually smile knowingly. It will be a great joy, which will greatly affect the effect of the live performance. It is the same reason for my master's famous jokes "A Dream of the Western Expedition" and "My Life". Why there are few live performances is not because the works are not good enough. Anyone who loves Guo Degang knows the work, what's more, he can almost memorize it, so can he perform it again?No, it’s not my pity, it’s the audience’s pity, because I can’t say how satisfied you are if you didn’t meet his expectations after letting people spend money to buy tickets, and then go back with dissatisfaction , Attracting everyone to the small theater is for everyone to laugh.Of course, there are also some new audiences who have never heard of it, so they can be released at the right time, but there must be new elements, new dismantling and washing, or re-adapting to make old audiences feel fresh. Let the new audience feel the classics, echoing the old and the new. If you still perform according to the old routines, it will not work, and the acting and listening will be awkward. In addition to "Learning Radio", Boss Liu also made a classic mistake, which I still remember deeply, that is, once before, the two of us talked about "Bai Shi Hui". What kind of joke is "Brief Events"? It mainly talks about the flattering "father passed away, died", and then this funeral letter was arranged by me for being funny. Starting from this content, it was originally like this: Cao: Your father is in good health? Liu: Oh, don't mention it, my father passed away. Cao: Oh?Your father passed away, can I not know, who will do the white things?I! Expand from here. It was a performance at Guangde Building that day, and Liu Yuntian and I were having a meal outside at a leisurely pace. Originally, I was playing second place, so I was not in a hurry, but because a couple in front of me had something to do, I was transferred to the front two. To save the scene, the theater called me and told me to come back quickly. I said to my heart that I should go there quickly. We are familiar with each other, we can go on stage without confronting us, we both rushed back in a hurry, put on our coats and went on stage, and the announcer has already been reported, so let’s talk normally: Cao: How is everything at home? Liu: Everything is fine! Cao: How is your father, old man? Liu: Well, very good. I was stunned for a moment, and he was still looking at me with a smile, completely unaware that I was wrong, and I said in my heart: "What's the matter, he must die, how can I continue if he doesn't die, This part is called "Bai Shi Hui"." I watched the audience in the audience before they reacted, so I corrected the whole tone, deliberately accentuated the tone, and reminded him: "I mean, your father, old man, his body Pretty good?" Liu: "Well, that's good!" He answered crisply, and put me here again. I have asked the second time here. Asking again is a stage accident. Boss, this part is called "Bai Shi Hui", do you know?" Many old audience members in the audience are familiar with this part, and the applause started, and I said, "Since you agreed, let's do it , yes, your old man’s health is really good, but there is one thing, it was not good in the past, and the wealth and people are not equal.” I changed my words and switched to another joke "Tie Doll", I was really dumbfounded at the time, He has already said that he is not dead, and I will let him say that he is dead, and continue with "Bai Shihui", the audience will not buy it, and simply turn it into another "Tie Doll", which is also a very interesting work. After the performance, everyone I was also very happy and happy to watch it, which made up for the previous mistakes. If you really continue to "Bai Shihui" in a serious manner, you will not be at ease, not to mention that it will be a big joke if it is misrepresented. Speaking of this, it is also a requirement for actors. They must be solid in every piece of work, and adapt to the situation on the spot. If a cross talk actor wants to become a very mature cross talk actor without making such low-level mistakes, it takes at least 20 years , we are all young, so we all make mistakes. Not to mention Boss Liu, when I performed on stage myself, I sometimes made mistakes. There was a work called "Fruit House", which needed foreshadowing. As a result, I forgot about the foreshadowing, and kept talking about other things. It was okay before, and everyone followed along with the music, and there was nothing wrong with it. In the end, I couldn't find the bottom line, and others were a little confused because I didn't know what I was going to say. In the end, I just found out The end of the previous paragraph, and then bow down.It doesn't matter too much, I will come back to the stage later, pave the way for a few more lines, tweak other things, and then make this short paragraph, take this small paragraph as the background, and the performance will come to a successful conclusion. Crosstalk is like this. There are many words that appear in many passages, and they are all familiar.Unless it’s in the mouth, in the back, if you miss one or two sentences, you can definitely hear the mistake, but if you want to say that the cross talk sentence is wrong, then there is no, that’s how I designed it, and if it’s wrong, it’s just a burden .Some audience listened too much, he listened carefully, seriously, and loved to pick your mistakes. He opened his mouth and said, "Wrong, you made a mistake here." Even if this battle fails, even if you are really wrong, you have to make up for your mistakes. Language is alive, and cross talk jokes are made up. You have to use your ability to tell him: No, I was right!This is the requirement for a qualified cross talk actor. He needs to be naturally responsive and quick thinking. A cross talk actor doesn't say good or bad. There are only two types, yes and no.Cross talk actors are divided into those who can’t and those who can’t. If they can, they can speak well, and if they can’t, they can’t say a word right. I think, Liu Yuntian and I have worked together to this day, whether it is right or wrong, we have to bear it together. The book said: I am very satisfied to be able to cooperate with Liu Yuntian in cross talk.
