Chapter 510: Daydreaming in the Tiger's Mouth
"Hello, Comrade Jiang Xian." Jiang Kun came to Jiang Xian's house with a smile on his face.
"Ouch."
Jiang Xian politely greeted him and waved his hand, "Please sit down."
Sitting down, pouring a glass of water, Jiang Xian looked at Jiang Kun's young face again.
Whoops.
Like.
alike.
The eyes, the nose, the mouth.In later generations, people often said that Jia Ling was his daughter. The authenticity of this is questionable, but at least from her appearance, the doubt is not unreasonable.
"What wind brings you here?"
"Oh, I'm here to visit you."
"Okay, come to my place, don't be polite, just say whatever you want to say."
After hearing what Jiang Xian said, Jiang Kun stopped beating around the bush and said, "Oh, I'm sorry to say this, but I came here to ask for a favor."
"You said."
"Isn't it almost Chinese New Year?"
"New Year's Eve?"
Jiang Xian pondered for a moment and quickly realized, "You mean, next year's Spring Festival Gala?"
"Yes."
Jiang Kun slapped his thigh and told the whole story.
It turns out that after a year, CCTV's Spring Festival Gala is about to be held again with great fanfare.
If you want to host the Spring Festival Gala, you can’t do without several pillars of the Gala.
The first people that director Deng Zaijun, who was in charge of this year's Spring Festival Gala, thought of were Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, who brought skits to the Spring Festival Gala stage. These two people are the most popular with the audience.
Unfortunately, at that time, Chen Peisi was involved with director Wu Yigong, who made "A Boy from the South of the City", and was focusing on the creation and filming of the movie "The Young Master's Tribulations".
The schedule coincides with the Spring Festival Gala, so I cannot participate in this year's Gala.
Without the combined strength of Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, Deng Zaijun immediately set his sights on the master and apprentice pair of Ma Ji and Jiang Kun.
As a result, Ma Ji was in a bad mood.
Because the news of "Ma Ji stealing a motorcycle" spread throughout the country during the Spring Festival Gala two years ago, and everyone was talking about Ma Ji stealing a motorcycle, which made him suffer an unjust accusation. Therefore, Ma Ji decisively rejected the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala.
He is a big enough figure that he can ignore the Spring Festival Gala, but the same cannot be said for Jiang Kun.
He has always been a supporting actor for his master, but this time he has become Deng Zaijun's lifeline. He must take the leading role for Deng Zaijun and put on a great show.
So Jiang Kun felt the pressure to create.
"No matter how I write at home, I just feel it's not good enough. I really can't write a crosstalk that can be performed on the Spring Festival Gala."
Jiang Kun confided, "Later, my master couldn't stand it anymore and told me that you had written 'Five Senses Competing for Merit', and that you had a lot in your head and a lot of skills. That's why I came here to ask you for advice."
"Ask me?"
Jiang Xian was speechless.
You are a well-known figure in the crosstalk world, and you come to ask me how to write crosstalk. What's the matter?The basic foundation of crosstalk in later generations is based on two big banners: Jiang Kun and Guo Degang.
It is difficult to say who is higher in status than the other.
But in terms of cultivated talents, Jiang Kun seems to be better.
After all, they discovered Zhao Benshan and brought out Jia Ling. One is that people all over the country have seen his sketches, and the other is that people all over the country have seen her lose weight.
What about Guo Degang? A lot of his disciples left, and the remaining ones, such as Yue Yunpeng and Zhang Yunlei, all went to the entertainment industry. They should have become obscure by now. On the contrary, Cao Yunjin, who left, has done well in his own business.
"I don't know how to write crosstalk, you must be kidding."
"Stop being modest."
Jiang Kun wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "It's not like I haven't read your book 'Five Senses Competing for Merit'. Oh, it's been so many years since I've seen such a good book. Without observation of life, it would have been impossible to write it."
"My case was just a coincidence." Jiang Xian smiled.
Seeing that Jiang Xian still didn't want to get involved and the pressure of the Spring Festival Gala was so great that he couldn't put on a show that would be the finale, Jiang Kun was so anxious that he simply bowed and spoke in a pleading tone.
"Comrade Jiang Xian, I really have no other options. Please help me this time. From now on, I will go through fire and water at your command."
"Hey, it's not that I won't help you."
Jiang Xian was also helpless.
However, he gradually recalled a segment on the Spring Festival Gala in which Jiang Kun couldn't write crosstalk, so he went to the writer Chen Rong for help. As a result, Chen Rong's son Liang Zuo pulled him over.
Yes, Liang Zuo!
"Fantasy in the Tiger's Mouth"!He thought about it and soon figured it out.
In the original trajectory, this is what happened.
But now, perhaps because of his appearance and the film "The Five Senses Compete for Merit", the butterfly's wings were flapped, causing Jiang Kun to turn to him for help instead of the writer Chen Rong.
What to do now?Jiang Xian was a little confused.
Let Jiang Kun go find Liang Zuo again?
But on Liang Zuo's side, because he founded the "Seahorse Film and Television Creation Center", he called Liang Zuo over. Liang Zuo was writing "The Story of the Editorial Department" at the time, so how could he have the mind to create "Fantasy in the Tiger's Mouth"?Well, the matter of "Fantasy in the Tiger's Mouth" has messed up everything for him, a time traveler.
After figuring it all out, Jiang Xian felt that as a time traveler, he should shoulder this responsibility. He certainly couldn't let the 87 Spring Festival Gala be without such a classic as "Reverie in the Tiger's Mouth".
Seeing Jiang Kun's sincere face, Jiang Xian was relieved. "Thank you for thinking so highly of me. Well, I will write this scene for you."
"Really? You'll write it for me?"
Jiang Kun was overjoyed.
The original plan was just to learn from Jiang Xian, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise. Jiang Xian directly agreed to write the book for him.
"How long will it take you to write?" Jiang Kun asked.
"Are you anxious?"
"No hurry, no hurry."
Jiang Kun waved his hands. "Oh, I'm sorry to say this, but I'm now the fifth head of the rap group of the Radio Art Troupe. The group is going to perform in Guangzhou in a while. You can just wait for me to come back and give it to me."
"How long are you going?"
"Oh, that's hard to say. The train ride there will take two days and three nights, and we'll have to perform for a while near Guangzhou."
"Then how long will it take you to get there?"
"tomorrow."
"Row."
Jiang Xian nodded, "Before you leave tomorrow, come to my place and pick up the manuscript."
"tomorrow?!"
Jiang Kun looked incredulous.
"So fast?"
"It should be fine. I'll try."
"."
Jiang Kun left with a look of gratitude and doubt on his face.
I am grateful because Jiang Xian is willing to step in and help, which is a very chivalrous act.
The suspicion comes from the fact that Jiang Xian said he would come and take the manuscript away tomorrow.
It’s not Jiang Kun’s fault. No one would believe it. Can a crosstalk script be written in one night?Are you bragging?
On the other hand, Jiang Xian wrote the crosstalk "Tiger's Mouth Fantasy" for Jiang Kun with the idea that "at least it is an additional progress".
Although he was quite familiar with this crosstalk, he could not recite it fluently, so he had to rely on synthesizing it on his own.
Fortunately, he successfully combined the two inspirations of "Young Workers" and "Tiger Hole" to create this crosstalk "Fantasy in the Tiger's Mouth".
This crosstalk is an absolute classic. It is both authentically Western and down-to-earth, yet the combination of the two is seamless.
In addition, crosstalk not only takes into account absurdism, lack of theme, psychological structure, and emotional plot, but also uses magical realism techniques to fully utilize Western elements, but it describes Chinese affairs, Chinese characters, and the social psychology of ordinary Chinese people, and uses the spoken language of Beijing.
The whole crosstalk is arranged in a relatively absurd environment, which is the so-called "things that have not happened in real life but are not something that will never happen":A young worker accidentally fell into a tiger's mouth while visiting a garden.
The story begins from here.
The next day, Jiang Kun came to Jiang Xian's residence again with great trepidation. The other party seemed to have just woken up and was combing his daughter's hair.
"This is your daughter."
"Yes, call me uncle."
"Uncle~"
"She's really smart." Jiang Kun was very fond of Jiang Niannian, "She's also a girl in our family."
"Oh, really."
Jiang Xian pretended to be surprised.
In fact, he knows a lot. His daughter is called Jiang Shan. She was born in Beijing in 79. With a father like Jiang Kun, she was born with a golden key. She inherited her father's performing talent since she was a child. She could play the piano at the age of 4. Later, she studied vocal music and sang on the stage of CCTV programs. She is very talented in vocal music.
Jiang Kun also attached great importance to training. Among the vocal teachers he hired for her, one was called Hang Tianqi, the one who sang "Loess Plateau", and the other was more familiar, Yehenara Yingzi, Na Ying.
Later, Jiang Shan grew rapidly in singing skills. She released an album in junior high school, appeared on CCTV's New Year's Eve Gala, entered the public eye, and became a child star.
With such a foundation, Jiang Shan will definitely continue to make achievements in this field and pursue her dream of becoming a star.
As a result, Jiang Kun disagreed and sent her to study abroad. The father and daughter broke up. Later, Jiang Kun brought an orphan home and adopted him as his son. Rumor has it that he was his illegitimate child. Different people have different opinions.
"Comrade Jiang Xian, have you written my crosstalk?" After a few greetings, Jiang Kun asked about crosstalk.
He was in a hurry to catch the train and didn't have much time.
"I've written it. I'll give it to you." Jiang Xian was also very happy and handed a thin manuscript to Jiang Kun.
"this one?"
"this one."
"Row."
Jiang Kun put it in his bag and said goodbye to Jiang Xian, "I'll go to the train and take a look at it slowly."
"to make."
After saying that, he quickly got on the rap group's car and rushed to the station. After getting on the train and settling down, he finally had some free time to take a look at Jiang Xian's manuscript.
"Tiger's mouth fantasy?"
Jiang Kun glanced at the first line and was quickly fascinated. His first feeling after reading it was:
What a great crosstalk!It made him cry!Great write up on this.
Jiang Kun felt that he had really met a noble person.
He has loved art since he was a child, and has been passionate about it since he was a little boy. He was busy with all kinds of art when he was young, including acting in dramas, reciting, playing the flute, the yangqin, the accordion, dancing, and singing. There were six performances in the school, and he was on stage four times, which made his father, who was a teacher in the school, confused.
"What on earth do you do?"
But until Jiang Kun started telling crosstalk, he always felt that he had no chance of success. He summed up his experience, which is "It's not that I can't do it, it's that I haven't met a noble person."
Then he met the first noble person in his life, Ma Ji, who taught him to learn and perform crosstalk.
Now, Jiang Kun feels that he has met the second noble person in his life, and is particularly sensitive to the appearance of another noble person who will help him in his life, Jiang Xian.
He read this crosstalk over and over again, and happily sang "Hu Er Hai Yo" in his heart.
Finally, he excitedly called his old partner, Mr. Tang Jie Zhong, to come over.
“This crosstalk is so well written!”
"Is it?"
"I feel that this crosstalk has the same effect as Lao She's satirical novel 'Withdrawing Money'."
After Jiang Kun said this, he felt something was wrong.
"But Jiang Xian is different from Lao She."
"I remember a critic once said: 'Chinese people's lives are too hard and too comfortable, too orderly and too relaxed, too detached and too dull, too serious and too funny, so a group of humorous writers like Wang Meng and Chen Rong should emerge.'"
“I think Jiang Xian’s name should be added to this sentence, but he is not Wang Meng, not Chen Rong, and not Lao She. He is just himself.”
"Yo."
Tang Jiezhong was shocked by Jiang Kun's comments and became more curious about Jiang Xian's manuscript.
How could it be so good that it could be comparable to Lao She?But he was used to it.
After all, the person Jiang Kun was talking about was Jiang Xian.
Tang Jie Zhong is a drama fan. He has seen Jiang Xian’s “The World’s Number One Restaurant” before and indeed felt that it was not much worse than Lao She’s “Tea House”.
Therefore, there was not much doubt about Jiang Kun's words, but people became very interested in the crosstalk "Tiger's Mouth Fantasy".
During the following period, Jiang Kun took advantage of the time between performances in Guangzhou to rehearse with Tang Jie Zhong. By the time the two had memorized the lyrics of "Reverie in the Tiger's Mouth", the performance team had already moved to Wuhan, Hubei.
"Let's give the premiere of 'Fantasy in the Tiger's Mouth' to the students in the training class and the soldiers in the army tonight." Jiang Kun couldn't help but propose this idea to Tang Jie Zhong.
"sure."
Tang Jie Zhong has been holding it in lately and really wants to release it.
The two hit it off immediately and performed "Dreamy in the Tiger's Mouth" for the soldiers.
"Comrade Tang Jiezhong, I have a question for you."
"what is the problem?"
"Have you ever fallen?"
"Do you mean work or life?"
"What kind of work and life is this? It's just that you don't pay attention when you walk along the aisle. 'Bang!' You're eating shit, you're chewing mud, you're lying on your back, you're falling head over heels!"
"Wow! How could anyone fall so hard?"
"I've had a worse fall than this. I can't say my fall was at an international level, but at least it ranked among the best in the world."
"Wow! That's too far-fetched!"
"I fell there and it was hanging."
"Where?"
"We have the Lion and Tiger Mountain in the Yanjing Zoo. I went there to watch the tigers on Sunday. I was having a lot of fun when someone was so wicked that he pushed forward and started to make a noise: 'The tigers are out of the mountain!' He pushed me down from the fence!"
"Ouch, is it broken?"
"You don't have to worry about anything if you get hurt. If you break an arm or a leg, our hospital will take care of it. But the place where you got hurt is useless. This is not a place for people to stay!"
"Oh, I fell into a tiger's den!"
The two of them were having a blast on stage, but when they looked down at the audience, the soldiers had expressionless expressions on their faces, some even a bit of fear.
Jiang Kun felt a chill in his heart.
what's going on?
Smashed?
