As far as artistic achievements are concerned, can Mr. Wang be called a "master"? Can Jiang Kun be called a "master"?

When it comes to "buying monkeys", most old audiences will invariably think of the classic interpretation of crosstalk master Ma in the 1950s. Even many "fortune tellers" know that Ma's artistic career has experienced ups and downs because of this cross talk. Buying a Monkey is not only an outstanding representative of Ma Xin's crosstalk, but also an indelible mark of that era. In fact, Mr. Hou, a famous crosstalk artist who is famous for committing crimes against dogs, once created this well-known masterpiece for the second time.

Hou's "Newly Bought Monkey" is also about meeting old friends, purchasing from the company and arranging the role of "waiting for purchase", which is actually laying the groundwork for the bottom burden. As for buying monkeys, the reason is exactly the same as Master Ma. But the difference is that Ma Sanye used a lot of space to describe the character "Ma Daha" in detail in his performance. Through a series of details such as Ma Daha's being late for work, writing a wrong notice to the buyer who went to Jinzhou Road to handle the goods, and mislabeling the food factory and furniture factory, a careless and hilarious character was vividly portrayed, and at the same time he made mistakes in his later writing. However, due to the limited performance time of the party, the Hou version only explained the typo "Ma Xiaoha", but did not describe and shape it in depth. The slurred speech of "Ma Xiaoha" is not necessarily related to sloppy work.

Hou and Ma's two versions of Buy a Monkey are similar in plot. After receiving the news of buying monkeys, they went straight to the northeast without verification, met the same village head and held the same meeting. However, it is worth mentioning that Hou skillfully integrated into Master Ma's broken baggage here, which is quite eye-catching.

Then he traveled all over the country to buy monkeys. Ma took this route from the northeast to Wuhan, and then took a river boat to Sichuan. From the northeast to Guangdong, then to Hainan Island, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shekou and other special zones, and finally to Sichuan before returning to Beijing. The horse bought fifty monkeys according to the notice, but didn't buy any monkeys after the walk. This design paved the way for the next luggage.

Judging from the overall effect of the joke, Hou is obviously slightly inferior to Ma. First of all, there is little bedding and the meaning is unclear. Ma Sanye created a plump and three-dimensional image of "Ma Daha" through multiple plots, paving the way and making the burden louder. However, Hou only described the misspelled document as Ma Xiaoha, the son of Ma Daha, which made the program ineffective. Secondly, the handling of the bottom luggage. The bottom bag designed by Ma is "Fortunately, I bought monkey brand soap. If I buy white bear soap, I will definitely go to the Arctic Ocean! " The end of the paragraph is ridiculous. The foundation of Mr. Hou's story is that he deliberately went to purchase according to the notice, borrowed public funds to travel and spend money, went to Guangdong to eat a knife of new prawns with stomach upset, and was finally dubbed "the monkey has loose bowels". This bottom is both unexpected and reasonable. Consistent with the image of "waiting for procurement" shaped earlier.

Although Hou's interpretation of The New Monkey has many flaws in details, it is generally successful. Limited by the duration of the performance, he tried to simplify the preparation and make the burden more typical and prominent when dealing with this work. In characterization, he gave full play to his performance advantages as a dog offender. In the original joke, the irony was only careless people who were not responsible for their work, but in this edition, Hou made a bitter satire on those little people who love to drill holes.

There has always been a saying in the cross talk door called "tear it down and wash it again", which can make a cross talk segment separated by nearly half a century re-enter the stage, which is in line with the tastes of the current audience. This is a valuable innovation.
