For the first time, Li Jiusong played a simple and lovely "old uncle"
In the early 1980s, a group of old artists got old and gradually withdrew from the stage. In order to cultivate talents and avoid the phenomenon of green and yellow, the municipal cultural leaders have taken a series of measures to encourage young actors to take the lead.
198 1 In the spring, the People's Funny Troupe enrolled students for the whole society, with thousands of applicants. Based on the principle of "choosing the best among the best", after many screenings, eight students were finally recruited to start classes with the group. The academic system is three years. The first year is classroom education, with courses such as performance, dialect, singing, body building and culture. In the second year, I participated in stage practice. The class teacher Zhang Zhixue was rigorous and had a solid student foundation.
At that time, the troupe was rehearsing a directional play. The so-called "directional drama" means that some publicity programs that meet the needs of the unit are organized and arranged by the relevant units. There have always been different opinions about this kind of "directional drama". Facts have proved that directional creation also has its merits, and entertainment is also a major feature of funny programs. The key is to attach importance to artistry, and directional creation can also produce good works.
In order to cooperate with the promotion of "safe production" activities, the troupe organized creative people to live in the sun, and Zhang wrote a script, "In Good Order", which has a good foundation. The leader found me and Li Jiusong and assigned us to perform together. In this way, Li Jiusong and I started our first performance together.
Our combination program is completely designated by the leaders, voluntarily approved by the audience and approved by experts.
This kind of monologue is similar to a sketch performance. In fact, this program is a "big sale" based on performance. It requires the cooperation of three actors, each of whom plays a role. Jiusong and I are clearly aware that the script is very important whether it is successful or not. Study the script first and regroup according to your own characteristics.
I played the young worker "Xiao Wang", Li Jiusong "Old Uncle" and Weng Wenjun "Site Safety Officer". The content of the program is: On a construction site, Xiao Wang, a young worker, cut a new hairstyle and refused to wear a helmet because he was going on a blind date. As a result, I ate my own fruit and my head was smashed by broken bricks. Who knows, the blind date that the old uncle found for him is the site safety officer. Under the lesson of blood, Xiao Wang finally woke up.
I played Xiao Wang, a young worker who came to Shanghai instead of Subei, where he spoke Shanghainese. I thought to myself, "I am an old gossip in Shanghai, but I can't bite enough individual words." The "old uncle" played by you is simple and lovely, which coincides with the naive behavior of "nephew king". The old uncle is still smug: "Little baby is like me, this is called' three generations can't leave my uncle's house'."
The lines and actions of this program are exaggerated. But everyone thinks exaggeration is reasonable, fun and interesting. Therefore, the whole audience burst into laughter. According to statistics, the short program of nearly 20 minutes can make 50 to 60 jokes.
1987, "the head is the Tao" participated in the Jiangnan comic show. In Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, there are many famous comedians and experts who have won outstanding performance awards. The success of our first cooperation has laid a solid foundation for future cooperation.
The program "See More and Know More" has participated in touring performances and been to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places. Everywhere, proper use of some local dialects can make the audience laugh. Guangdong Branch of China Record Company also recorded and distributed a tape for this program, which became the first tape-"Virgin Tape" performed by Wang Rugang and Li Jiusong as artists.
"What's Right" is not only the crystallization of my first cooperation with Li Jiusong, but also a reserved program of both sides, which has been staged for thousands of times. Now, this program has become a teaching material for training comedians in art colleges.
