Chapter 45 Section 11: My Opinion on the Crosstalk Circle——The Crosstalk Circle is also the Entertainment Circle

The circle of cross talk, in my opinion, is actually the earliest entertainment circle, and it can also be called the entertainment circle of the older generation.In the era when cross talk was born, in the late Qing Dynasty, when there was cross talk, there were no TV actors, film actors, and singers. Even the appearance of commentary on operas was a thing after liberation.So I think Peking opera actors and cross talk actors constituted the entertainment circle at that time. But now, with the development and progress of the times, the entertainment industry has become colorful and colorful, but our cross talk industry has gone through ups and downs. Now, it has been regarded as an alternative entertainment industry living in a fashionable society. Although we It is also constantly integrating with the big entertainment environment, but there are still big differences.

Talking about cross talk is to make people laugh and bring joy to people, but in fact, our circle is a bit dark to describe.Crosstalk actors have a common problem. When everyone is talking, they like to talk about their awesomeness. No one is allowed to leave the venue for the first 6 rounds.” Another quarrel over there: “Then when I was performing in Dali, Yunnan, the venue was bursting with 100,000 spectators, and when I spoke in the stadium, there was an echo, and the audience ended. If you don’t leave, you still want to listen to me talking about cross talk.” Some said: “I think back then, when I was on the same stage with Mr. Ma Sanli, a master of cross talk, I said in my head that Mr. Ma couldn’t handle me.” Others said: “ I had a cross talk show with master Hou Baolin, on the same stage as Boss Mei Lanfang, he sang Beijing opera first, and I talked about cross talk behind me, I haven’t seen a cross talk show, have you? I said this every time, and when I said it, I was beaming and very proud.I would never say, "I was knocked down from the stage that day", "I was shouted down", "I was even worse, the teapot hit my head, and I was bleeding." It is impossible to say these things, it is worse , that's crazy.This is the comic circle.All cross talk artists are like this, they only talk about their appearance, not about bad luck, even if they talk about the tragic years at the beginning, they only talk about it after they became famous. It would be better to say something embarrassing.I can't remember who said such a sentence: If you are not successful now, if you talk about your tragic past and history, you are just begging for mercy from others. Only after you succeed, can you bring these things out. Everyone will think that it is really not easy for you to get to where you are today.These are the truth, any famous comedian will have this experience.

From outsiders' perspective, the entertainment industry is very glamorous, but behind the glamor there are many unknown sides, one word describes it: chaos!To survive in the entertainment industry, you must have a good mental quality. Behind the aura, or on the road to the aura, the pressure that an artist experiences is different from that of ordinary people, and it is very great.I don't want to tell everyone that we are suffering. After all, we have also received attention that ordinary people can't get. In short, there are gains and losses. To be in this circle, you must have a balanced mentality.

Let’s use an analogy, to be more sensitive. Some actresses are unwilling to act in a rape scene or an erotic scene, but some actresses are willing to act. She will not feel it is a burden, but may feel very happy , What she got in exchange for some sacrifices was opportunities and money, maybe she became famous because of this, then she will be glorious in front of the world in the future.This is the case in this industry. There are also actresses who want to be beautiful to get on the job, to have plastic surgery, or to be famous in dramas. To put it bluntly, she wants to live a better life in this circle. There is no mistake in her starting point. But it is possible that the means are not correct, but there is no way, the competition is too fierce.In fact, I think the entertainment industry is pretty good now, unlike what everyone imagines, there are unspoken rules, but it is not a common phenomenon, it does not mean that actresses who can act now have to follow the unspoken rules of the director, really not, there are many Relying on my own hard work and strength, I have filmed some scenes and met many people in the industry. They will also find ways to become popular and get on the top, but at least they live a real life, standing outside the entertainment circle and making irresponsible remarks Man, he may not really understand the entertainment industry, and what he says may not be true.

I have been saying that the crosstalk circle is the entertainment circle, and the scope of entertainment is the same. In the 1990s, Mr. Feng Gong had already set foot in the film and television industry and hosted. Crosstalk actors are the same as entertainers. They suffer behind the scenes. The glory on the stage, the practice is more tiring than anyone else, as tired as the grandson.Because the four basic homework for cross talk actors, speaking, learning and singing, are all interlinked and cover a wide range. Proficiency in these four is equivalent to being able to do everything. A person can be a good host, an excellent singer, an excellent actor, or a great folk artist, but why doesn't he go to talk about cross talk, because those are all single-art functions.And a cross talk actor must be versatile, and there is a special requirement: he is born with this talent, he is suitable for this job, just right, not too big, not too small, born with the ability to grasp the scene, this is a person's Cohesion, this is the art of the stage. If people see this person at first glance and feel that he has no cohesion standing here, then he will not be able to do this, he will not be able to become a cross talk actor, he will not be able to become a real character. In our words: "It's called Patriarch who doesn't reward you with this bowl of rice." A cross talk actor doesn't have to be good-looking, Ma Sanli is not good-looking, and Hou Baolin is not good-looking, but he has a stage edge, which makes people like it at the first sight. This kind of affinity, standing on the stage, the audience thinks that Jean is very good, that he is very close to me and very real, even if he is standing on a high stage, there is this false feeling.

Although this kind of cohesion and affinity is natural, there is also a process of running-in. Only when your understanding of cross talk reaches a certain level, the deeper your understanding, the stronger your sense of control on the stage. These are all complementary. You The aura and cohesion of the show are just right, one look, even if it is too much, it will make people feel artificial, but it is not enough, making the audience feel that your skills are not good enough.When the audience is familiar with you, he will feel happy as soon as he sees you. Even if you stand on the stage and haven’t spoken yet, with his deep-rooted knowledge of you, your artistic image has already amazed him in his heart. Happy.

Some people are not convinced: "How is his cross talk better than mine? He said the same thing because he is well-known and the audience knows him, so they bought his account." Actually no, this is a previous one. The question of whether the chicken or the egg came first, whether the egg hatched the chicken or the chicken laid the egg, if you say it badly, how could it possibly gain popularity?When I stepped onto the stage and made my way to this station, the audience knew that Cao Yunjin could bring him happiness when they saw me. The moment he saw me, he already believed in me and trusted me.This is what I call cohesion.It’s not about how good-looking I am, I’m actually not good-looking, and I’m also a villain in acting. Ordinarily, I’m a person who shouldn’t let people believe how good I am, but he firmly believes that I can bring him happiness. Come to be happy, because he believes in my professional integrity and my ability, he believes in my personality and appearance, which can satisfy the happiness he is looking for with spending money today. This is a problem that some other comedians have never understood: " Why is he hotter than me, because he has bigger wrists than me." He will use this to lie to himself all his life, and he will never find out why he is really bad.
