Crosstalk is a folk art, which makes the audience laugh by telling jokes or interesting questions and answers. It evolved from "Xiang Sheng" in the Song Dynasty. In the later period of Beijing School, crosstalk formed modern characteristics and styles. Mainly in Beijing dialect, there are also "dialect crosstalk" in local dialects. "Speaking, learning, teasing and singing" are the basic artistic means of cross talk tradition. "Speaking" refers to telling jokes and tongue twisters, "learning" refers to imitating all kinds of hawking, chirping of birds and animals, singing of dramas and styles and languages of various characters, and "teasing" refers to making up some funny words, singing them in various tunes, or exaggerating some lyrics and tunes of operas to make people laugh.

Characteristics of the script

1 Time and space should be highly concentrated.

Unlike novels and essays, scripts are not limited by time and space. It takes time, characters, plots and scenes to be highly concentrated on the stage. On a small stage, several people's performances can represent a tribe. After a few turns, it can be said that you have crossed Qianshan and changed a scene and characters. It can be said that you have arrived at a brand-new place or many years later ... thousands of miles apart and spanning several years, you can all show it on the stage through the transformation of scenes and fields.

"Act" and "field" are often used in scripts to represent paragraphs and plots. "Act" refers to a large section of plot development. "A scene" can be divided into several scenes, and "a scene" refers to a plot that changes in space or separates in time. Scripts generally require that the length should not be too long, the characters should not be too many, and the scenes should not be changed too much. Novices adapt short plays from textbooks, and it is best to write short one-act plays.

2. The contradiction reflecting real life should be sharp and prominent.

All kinds of literary works should show social contradictions and conflicts, while drama requires that the contradictions and conflicts reflected in limited space and time be more acute and prominent. Because drama is a literary form to reflect the contradictions and conflicts in real life, there is no drama without contradictions and conflicts. Because the script is limited by space and performance time, the real life reflected by the plot must be condensed in the contradictions and conflicts suitable for stage performance.

Contradictions and conflicts in the script can be roughly divided into four parts: occurrence, development, climax and ending. When performing, we should attract the audience from the time when contradictions occur. When the contradiction develops to the most intense, it is called climax. At this time, the plot is also the most attractive and wonderful. The climax part is also the "highlight" of script writing and stage performance, which is the most "important" and requires the most efforts.

3. The language of the script should express the role.

The language of the script includes lines and stage descriptions.

The language of the script is mainly lines. Lines are what the characters say in the play, including dialogue, monologue and narration. Monologue is what characters say when they express their personal feelings and wishes alone. Narrator is what a character says to the audience from the side behind other actors on the stage. The script mainly promotes the development of the plot through lines and expresses the character. Therefore, the language of lines should fully express the character, identity, thoughts and feelings of the characters, be popular, natural, concise, colloquial and suitable for stage performances.

Stage description, also called stage suggestion, is an indispensable part of the script language and some explanatory words in the script. Stage description includes characters, plot time and place, costumes, props, scenery, expressions, movements, ups and downs of characters, etc. These explanations have played a certain role in portraying characters' personalities and promoting and developing drama plots. This part of the language requires concise, concise and clear words. This part of the content generally appears at the beginning of each scene (field). The end and middle of a conversation are usually enclosed in brackets (square brackets or parentheses).
