How to write cross talk!

Crosstalk is a popular folk performing art, and almost all adults and children, men and women, the old and young, and people from all walks of life like to listen to it. This puts forward a new topic for crosstalk writers, how to write more and better crosstalk to meet the demands of the masses. To this end, we have compiled the creative experience in recent years for the reference of comrades engaged in and interested in cross talk creation. As our level is not high, mistakes are inevitable. Please criticize and correct us.

What is crosstalk?

Comrade Hou said: Crosstalk is a kind of language art with obvious characteristics of Quyi. It is different from a joke. Joke is the oral literary creation of the masses, with spontaneous tendency, and it is literature and art in the embryonic stage. Crosstalk, developed from folk jokes, is short, pithy and humorous. Crosstalk requires actors to perform with looks and voices, and it can make people laugh. Of course, laughter is not an end, but an artistic means. It attacks falsehood, ugliness and evil through laughter, and praises truth, goodness and beauty through laughter.

Why does everyone like to listen to cross talk?

Crosstalk is a unique traditional art form in China. With a strong comedy style, each cross talk has its typical characters and attractive story. For example, Tokyo Guest tells the story of a Japanese old lady who once lived in China who came to China to find her son. The story itself is very attractive. Everyone wants to hear how the Japanese old lady came to China. How did you live after your husband died? After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, why did the Japanese old lady leave her son in China? After returning to China, how did she want to go to China to find her son? How did you find your son after smashing the Gang of Four? The story is vivid and the plot twists and turns tightly attract the audience to listen to cross talk.

Cross talk is a folk art, and the language of cross talk has a strong flavor of life, which is cordial, pleasant and lively. For example, False Space criticizes an official by telling lies, boasting and empty words, and puts a typical figure like "false space" in front of the audience by depicting this figure. After listening to it, the audience will have an immersive feeling, which will produce a strong artistic effect. Crosstalk can quickly serve the real struggle and play a fighting role in uniting the people, educating the people and attacking the enemy. For example, cross talk "Hat Factory", "Special Life", "Unhealthy Style" and "Such a Photo" all represent the broad masses of the people in the struggle to expose and criticize the Gang of Four, saying what they dare not say, breaking through the restricted area and making a way out, so they are welcomed and loved by the people.

Several forms of cross talk

(A) stand-up crosstalk

A person's performance is called stand-up crosstalk. Each paragraph of stand-up comedy has its own story, which produces certain paragraphs, also called baggage, which promotes the development of the plot. Performing stand-up crosstalk, sometimes in the first person, sometimes as a third party, sometimes jumping out, sometimes jumping in, sometimes telling, sometimes commenting, sometimes telling a story that seems to be telling itself, and sometimes an outsider telling a story. In a word, although the stand-up comedian performs alone, it sounds like a lot of people appear on the stage, which is really colorful. Chasing cars, blaming who, spending money, and fighting between the monarch and the minister are all stand-up crosstalk. Please look at the following passage:

I got up in the morning and was about to go to work. I ran to find the children. Ask me: Grandpa, why are you going? I said go to work. What do you want? The child said, uncle, there is a column in the form issued by the school, and I don't know how to fill it out. I said, where should I leave that column? The child said this column. When I saw it, it was the place of origin. I told him where it was, but I asked where your hometown was. The child said: Where is my hometown? I wonder if my mother is not at home. I don't know what I said. Didn't you get a letter from your mother? Please fill in your birthplace. The child cheered up as soon as he heard the place of birth. I know where I was born. I took out my pen and filled it in. When I took over, I hardly felt happy. How did he fill it out? His hometown is a maternity hospital.

(B) Crosstalk

Crosstalk is performed through the dialogue between Party A and Party B .. Special life, short dream, Tokyo guest, I love China, etc. It's all crosstalk. Pay attention to the relationship between holding and teasing when writing cross talk. The role of comedians in cross talk can not be ignored. The comedian's words represent the audience, and sometimes they should be affirmed, sometimes they should be denied, and sometimes they should be given the necessary contrast. We shouldn't make comedians unnecessary, neither excessive nor just right.

Crosstalk can be divided into the following categories:

A heavy head. As the name implies, there are too many words at one end and too few at the other. A cross talk is mainly narrated by cross talk actors, who are given the necessary cooperation to make a cross talk perfect. A heavy program, even a few words, should also play the role of finishing touch. Therefore, we should pay attention to the relationship between holding and teasing when writing cross talk, and we can't just write A and ignore B.

Mother and son maple. Mother and son have a lot of words in their mouths, each with its own reasons. You have your words, I have my words, I have my questions and answers, and sometimes I have to argue with each other for a question, which leads to contradictions and jokes. Such as "Five Red Pictures", "Astronomy" and "Misjudging the Three Kingdoms" are all mother-child crosstalk. Please look at the clips from the traditional cross talk "The History of the Three Kingdoms":

A You like to see the Three Kingdoms, and I also like to see the Three Kingdoms. We put forward something to study and discuss with each other in the three countries.

B Yes, you can. I know the Three Kingdoms best!

You have studied the Three Kingdoms. Who is the most capable of all the figures in the Three Kingdoms?

B's greatest ability is Zhuge Liang.

What can Zhuge Liang do?

B Zhuge Liang knows astronomy from the top, geography from the bottom, harmony between people, yin and yang, eight faiths, and escape from armour. In strategic planning, he won the battle thousands of miles away, compared with Guan Zhong, sitting on his knees in danger, laughing at the romantic, and setting three points before leaving grass. Zhuge Liang is a country's strategist and a scholar wizard. Zhuge Liang's ability is one of the best among the three countries.

A Zhuge Liang wants to be strong, and the seven-star lamp borrows life. How could he die at the hands of Sima Yi?

B Oh ... this is Sima Yi's ability.

What can Sima Yi do?

Sima yi, the second marshal, led the troops and led a thousand troops, taking charge of life and death, attacking and killing, defending the war and withdrawing the plate. Take the street pavilion and say that if you don't go, you will send Zhang He to succeed in World War I. How capable Sima Yi is!

If Sima Yi has the ability to get a street pavilion, why does Zhao Yun chase him all over the street?

Let's just say that Zhao Yun is the best.

What can Jia do?

Zhao Yun, the victorious general, fought a big battle in front of Changbanpo, single-handedly, captured Cao Cao's 830,000 troops alive, broke through the encirclement and rescued A Dou. What a great ability.

A Zhao Yun must have the ability. Why did Zhang Fei cut off the road when he got to Dangyang Bridge?

So Zhang Fei is very capable?

A Zhang Fei must have skill, and Hulao Pass fights Lu Bu. How can you three beat others!

B that's Lu Bu's skill.

If a Lyu3 bu4 is capable, how could the White Gate Tower die at the hands of Cao Cao?

B that's Cao Cao's skill!

A Cao Cao has the ability to burn warships, how can he burn his beard?

B wants to do what you do-say-A Who has the ability?

You have the ability.

What can I do?

You got me stumped. Don't you have the ability?

From this clip, we can see the teasing relationship between mother and son.

Pass, also known as turning off the fire, is to recite a story and a person's biography in one breath and report hundreds of place names, dishes and movies in one breath, all of which are called passes. There are still many tongue twisters to say in one breath, which is also a kind of penetration. When writing crosstalk, we should pay attention to rhyme and fluency. When performing crosstalk, we should pay attention to the mouth shape and have a strong sense of rhythm. Don't swallow dates, read the words clearly and work hard on the mouth shape. Only in this way can we use it freely and make people feel relaxed and happy.

Please recite the place names in one breath. When writing, you should not only pay attention to the level tone, but also rhyme with the level tone, which is catchy.

Huanggutun, Yuguo Station, Masanjiazi, Xinglong Store, Juliuhe, Xinmin County, Liuhegou, Hongqibao, Dahushan, Gaoshanzi, Qingduizi, Zhaojiatun, Goubangzi, Dalinghe, Shuangyangdian, Jinzhou, Nverhe, Gao Qiao Town, Tashan, Jinxi, Hanjiagou, Xingcheng and Baimiao.

Reciting a lot of tongue twisters in one breath is also oral work;

Out of the south gate, due south, a blue cotton curtain was hung at the door. When you look around, the pavement still faces south.

The pole is long, the bench is wide, the pole is not as wide as the bench, the bench is not as long as the pole, and the pole is tied to the bench. Bench does not allow the pole to tie the bench, and the pole must tie the bench.

Throw the straw hat over the wall. The straw hat covers the old man and the old man covers the straw hat.

Flat basin surface, flat basin cake, flat basin cake, flat basin.

The first month, the first month is the first month, and the two sisters discussed going shopping. The eldest girl is called pink girl, and the second girl is called pink girl. The pink girl is wearing a pink coat, the pink girl is holding a bottle of pink wine and the pink girl is holding a pink coat. When the two sisters found no one, they pushed the cups to drink Liu Ling. Pink girl drank pink wine, pink girl drank pink wine, pink girl was as drunk as a fiddler. The female powder is chasing the female powder. Female powder tears female powder coat, female powder tears female powder coat. The two sisters stopped arguing and bought their own stitches. Female pink bought a pink thread, female pink sewed the pink coat backwards, and female pink sewed the pink coat backwards.

There are also traditional crosstalk: Bao Laiming, Warm Factory, Foreign Prescription, Eight Fan Screen, etc.

New cross talk: tofu spectrum, new women, film highlights, etc. It is also widely known.

Liu Huo, Leg Huo.

Liu Huo, who takes learning to sing as the main artistic means, takes learning to sing drama fragments and singing as the main artistic means. Those who learn singing, opera, Quyi and minority songs are all Liu Huo in cross talk.

Traditional cross talk, such as Xue Ping Opera and Criticism of Beauty, is Liu Huo's.

"Wanderer" and "Talking about Love Songs" in the new cross talk are also Liu Huo.

Traditional crosstalk, such as Catch and Release Cao, Fenhe Bay and Gong Dou Looking for Women, are all leg exercises.

When writing Liu Huo's cross talk, we should pay attention to the level of lyrics, especially the paragraph about learning to sing Quyi, otherwise it will be ugly and the actors will suffer. When writing Liu Huo's cross talk, you should sing naturally and reasonably, not just for the sake of singing.

To play Liu Huo, actors should pay attention to learning kung fu, and learn who looks like who. It is better not to learn if you don't. Therefore, when writing jokes about Liu Huo, it is necessary to be targeted and to look at the conditions of the actors. Comrade Hou believes that since cross talk is an art, it is necessary to learn not only the image, but also the beauty. Only by learning the image can we give a happy and humorous laugh, and only by learning it beautifully can we make cross talk a veritable art ... This understanding is really a lesson for our actors who perform six fires.

Inverted mouth with local dialect as the main artistic means is called inverted mouth.

For example, Shandong Doufa is performed in Shandong dialect. Letter from Shanxi is performed in Shanxi dialect. Fishing is performed in Tianjin dialect. "Fresh Air on the Train" is performed in Dalian dialect. There are Tianjin dialect, Shanghai dialect and some local dialects in Beijing. When writing inverted cross talk, we should also pay attention to dialects. If you are not familiar with a dialect, write it out and speak it out, and you will learn it in different ways and get better results instinctively.

Performing cross talk in a foreign language is also a step backwards. Learning a foreign language today should be different from the past. In the past, learning a foreign language was better than learning a child's language. Although Chinese characters with foreign flavor will achieve a certain comedy effect, it is not as effective as learning a few real foreign languages.

Nowadays, new cross talk, such as Power Research, I love China and Tokyo Hakka, all use foreign languages to varying degrees.

cross talk

Three-person crosstalk or multi-person crosstalk is called group chat. Makeup crosstalk performed by three or more people is also a kind of group crosstalk. The three-person crosstalk includes disciple training, coat peeling, big trial, wine order and so on. Eight-person crosstalk includes Famen Temple and so on. Three people cross talk, A is teasing, B is holding, and C is sewing, each with its own characteristics. C exaggerates the story, B questions the story described by C, A explains the question raised by B, so that the question raised by B can be answered reasonably.

Please look at the traditional cross talk "Stripping the coat", which shows the relationship between holding, teasing and sewing.

Well, go ahead, but go ahead, not in a fog!

C what are you talking about? With my knowledge, how can I achieve something? He just said I stopped people, but that wasn't stopping people, because I was too knowledgeable. When I was talking, those people didn't understand, so I ignored them in a rage, just like I stopped people, but it wasn't. Besides, with my knowledge, can I make people stop? We have no idea what you said. Let's take yesterday as an example. When I said it was windy, it changed in the middle of the night.

B it's a little windy.

C is a little windy? The wind is really strong. It was windy all night, wasn't it? There is a well in my home, do you know?

B Isn't it the one near the south wall?

Yes, you will know how windy it is. Overnight, the well was blown outside the wall.

B what?

Scrape a well outside the wall. I slept at night and was awakened by the strong wind. I listened to the light and spilled water all over the window. I looked at it at dawn, and there was no well in the yard. When you open the door, the well is just outside the wall!

B never heard of it.

Can I lie about it? If you don't believe me, ask him. (nails)

B (asking a) wants to ask you something. You said the wind would blow too hard. Can you blow up the well outside the wall?

Is it more like? Will the well blow out of the wall?

C (take off your coat) take off your coat!

Hey! Don't you want it?

C, no! My well has been blown out of the wall. Why didn't you say you didn't know? (Take off jacket)

Oh! (Right) His well!

B yes.

A ok, it was scraped out.

B was scraped out? Let me ask you something. How did you scrape it out?

Listen, isn't that his well? You got it? Is that there is water in it!

B nonsense, how come there is no water in the well! I asked you how to scrape it out.

How did A come out? Listen! He's not like him! His well! The water is shallow, I can't hold it, I scraped it out!

B it's outrageous, even a dry well can't be scraped out!

A: You said you couldn't scrape it out, but you scraped it out!

How did b come out?

A, listen! Didn't you ask him how the well outside the wall was scraped? Because his wall is too short!

B no matter how short it is, it can't be scraped out.

The wall of his house is not a brick wall.

Can't you scrape off the B wall?

A is a fence, a fence, do you understand?

I don't understand fence B!

I see, ah! If you understand, it's over!

What is over? Let me ask you, how did this well blow out of the wall?

A still don't get it?

What did you say?/Sorry?

A: didn't you say hello to this? Oh, that's right, because his fence is too old, weathered and the bottom is not good, and it's only two feet away from this well. There was a sudden gust of wind that day, and the bottom of the fence broke, bulging the wall together. He got up early and looked sleepy: "Hey, how did I blow my well out of the wall?" That's how it was scraped out.

B Oh, yes!
