When did Guo Qiru die?

Wenhua Li

1962, I was transferred to the Central Radio Rap Troupe as an actor. From 1962 to 1966 (Guo 1968 died), the leader asked me and Mr. Guo Qiru to learn to play with him and get along with him day and night, and I heard a lot of his views on him. Benefited a lot.

I don't know much about life in Lao Guo. In the old society, I worked as a policeman in my early years and played a "civilized play" in the 1930s. Judging from his usual conversation, Civilization Drama had an influence on his later cross talk. He said: "I was trained by' outline drama' (that is, civilized drama)."

Lao Guo is strict with himself in life. He comes to work at seven o'clock every morning. When you meet a performance, don't let the car pick you up. There is no shelf. I go backstage to prepare for the performance and never talk to each other. I often hide by the curtain and find a stool to sit there and listen.

Lao Guo strives for perfection in art and is never careless. He often said, "It is not easy to pay tribute. A has something to say, B has something to say, and the answer is irrelevant. How many words can be said in one breath, and you can't' squat' because you can't catch up. " Lao Guo's words really stand the test. In the more than 20 years of his cooperation with Hou, he has never heard of any cross talk that he "smashed". Colleagues and laymen praised him for his good performance. Where are the good things? As long as Lao Guo stood on the stage, starting from the "pad", he was absorbed and actively involved in artistic creation, using funny * * *, and so on.

Lao Guo has many good views on Zan, which can be summarized as follows:

First, we do not advocate "noisy". He advocates that crosstalk performers should have platform advantages. The atmosphere that appears backstage and under the stage is very harmonious. He said: "An actor should be smart on the stage, but he should not give people a noisy feeling. The body is not stiff; The pace is not fast; No matter how many people are in the audience, treat them as your bosom friends; The flesh on the face is slack; Laugh or not; Don't open your mouth too wide. The audience will say,' What, you want to bite!' Don't frown, no one should be yours. Must be in harmony with the audience. Let the audience sing with you. "

Crosstalk pays attention to speaking, learning, teasing and singing, and pays attention to baggage. He said, what do you want to entertain the audience? It depends on the language. He appreciates the horse's performance style, which is elegant but not vulgar. Lao Guo's most boring actor, casually add baggage, or bite the baggage without talking, make a scene. Blinking for a while, shrinking for a while, full of ugliness. He said: "Crosstalk is characterized by humor, liveliness and making people laugh, but it must be more educational than the audience while laughing, and at the same time, it must make the audience feel relaxed and happy and not annoying. Therefore, a good comedian should stand there without redundancy, and he can't do it without him. "

Second, what the teaser wants and what the comedian gives. It should be "watertight" A cross talk, said to be "hot", has something to do with teasing and laughing. It's not easy to be watertight. According to the rules, the licensee can't block or grab the burden of teasing. The burden of ridicule is blocked and taken away by the holder, and the burden does not ring. This is the fault of the holder. Only if it is not blocked or robbed, and the size is moderate, can people feel that it is "watertight". Some people may think that in this way, the champion can't get rid of his baggage. Actually, it's not. As long as you deeply understand the content of the paragraph and carefully ponder the characters, you can create art again and make the same sound. For example, in the prelude to divorce, learn songs:

A (teasing): "There is a young man in the sunset glow.

He wandered in front of my house,

The young man was silent,

He winked at me. "

..... How nice you say this word! "Why are you flashing?" Tell me, why is he looking?

Where's the flash

B (laughs): I don't know!

The burden of the cup holder is loud and brittle. If the instrument says, "I don't know!" That won't do. Is there any different meaning? No, not a word. "How should I know?" On the one hand, it makes people feel that there is a subtext in it, on the other hand, it makes people feel humorous. But "I don't know" is dry and there is no room for aftertaste. Therefore, Lao Guo said with deep feelings, "This is the key to creating a burden for you: you can't say it early, you can't do it late, you have to go straight to the subject before you can ring." When I later told Jiang Kun a joke about "asking too much", I was deeply touched by it. For example, the ninth condition of a beautiful girl: drinking, smoking and not drinking tea. ...

A: That won't do. Drinking cold water will upset the stomach.

B: As long as our beautiful sister is happy, we can have loose bowels.

This burden is obviously easy to ring, but then again:

A: Yes, it does have some style.

That's just throwing caution to the wind.

If the holder is not the right size, or the word "gap" is deleted, the burden will be gone. "Gap", although only one word, is a key word.

Third, performers should be willing to play supporting roles. There are dozens of actors in a big drama, but only a few protagonists, which shows that there should be a distinction between primary and secondary. Few people speak cross talk, but the rules are the same. Doudou is the leading role and Bangdou is the supporting role. You should have the spirit of being a supporting role. Generally speaking, there are always more teasing words than cheering words. However, people who just learn crosstalk often learn to tease first; Giving others needs experience. Of course, it is not easy to say a few words and a supporting role. Isn't it often said that "three points are funny and seven points are hold"? It used to be said that it is difficult to hold a cup of tea, but it is still difficult to make a joke. If something goes wrong, this cup of tea has to be "held" so that the audience won't feel it.

Fourth, if you want to cooperate well with those who are laughing and teasing, you must first unite well. I talked with Hou about cross talk. It took more than 20 years from 1940 to his death, which is rare in the field of Quyi. They can do a good job of unity. First of all, they have a common enterprising spirit. If something goes wrong on the stage, the audience will quickly raise it, understand each other and study it. In this way, the business can grow bigger and bigger. If there is always an argument in private, you will not be able to hide it from the audience when you get to the stage. In case A makes a mistake on the stage, B says to himself, "What a suck!" Actually, it's not good for B to really mess up the pot.

Mr. Guo Qiru has many advantages. I put forward these in order to learn from him better and improve myself on the existing basis. (Jipin Wu finishing)
