Brief introduction of cattle works

"Belonging to Cattle" is an excellent stand-up comedy adapted from the traditional joke "Madam Belongs to Cattle".

This joke was first seen in Feng Menglong's "Laughing Building" in the article "Stabbing Vulgarity": an official was born, and the official heard that he was a mouse, and the mouse cast gold for his life. Guan said, "Do you know grandma's birthday is here? Grandma is a cow. "

In the second episode of "Laughing Well" compiled by the chronicle, it became seventy-five words: an official was born, and the people heard that he was a mouse, so they made a mouse out of gold as a birthday present. The official was overjoyed when he saw it and said to everyone, "Do you know my wife's birthday? Just now, please remember: Madam is a cow, which should be more substantial, but the neck and belly of the cow should not be cast empty! "

On the basis of this little joke, Zhang Shouchen's stand-up comic dialogue "Belonging to Cattle" enriches and processes the characters' personality, language, image and story. First of all, make the image of magistrate and county magistrate more distinct. For example, when it comes to the magistrate, first introduce the relationship between the magistrate and the magistrate, paving the way for the magistrate to give gifts to the magistrate. At the beginning of "Dianhua", the theme is briefly clarified, and at the same time, the "villager" in the joke is changed to "magistrate", which highlights the corruption in officialdom.

Due to the limitation of words and space, there is no characterization in jokes, while stand-up comedy further depicts the humbleness and greed of county magistrate with dialogue and details. "The magistrate will have to go to class and grow a moustache." The action of "growing a moustache" is like pulling the magistrate in front of the audience (readers), and the greedy face of abusing power for personal gain can be seen at a glance. "I didn't move this. I read the next paragraph, and then I looked at the place where the magistrate stood. I returned my hand and patted the magistrate on the shoulder: great, great! " "Great!" This is a wonderful pun, which obviously praises the value of the gift, then praises the county magistrate, and then the dirty deal of bribery is completed between the two sides. "My wife will be one year younger than me on her birthday next month." Remind the county magistrate that my wife is a cow and suggest that he send a golden bull.

In the joke, I pointed out the sentence "Don't throw an empty cow's neck and stomach", but the stand-up comedy didn't say it directly, but ended with an actor's comment: "Got it! One year younger, a cow, how much do you have to pay to get a Taurus! Can the people still live? " More profound and powerful, memorable, this is also a common artistic expression technique in traditional stand-up crosstalk-the program ends with a short and wonderful sentence, or comments, or comments, or praises, or derogatory, or scolds, or laughs, thus clarifying the theme and deepening the ideological significance. The contrast between the rich and the poor in several counties of old Tianjin and the introduction of officialdom in the program explain why the magistrate plundered the wealth of the people and gave gifts to the magistrate, which made the story reasonable and enhanced its credibility.
