The King of Variety Entertainment

There was thunderous applause, the stage switched slowly, and the audience opened their eyes wide, looking for Yang An carefully.

Clang, clang, clang~clang~

At the beginning of a Beijing opera, Yang An entered the stage with a long knife.

He was dressed like an ordinary young man, with an open-fronted vest, black exercise pants with wide openings, flat shoes, and a pattern that said fighting was printed on the chest of his underwear. , a half-baked martial artist who doesn't wear costumes, and whose steps and skills are particularly unfamiliar!

As the sound of the instrument gradually slowed down, Yang An performed a half-baked solo performance, playing a piece of knives, standing on one foot when the frame was frozen, but his body was still shaking, so scared that he almost didn't fall, the audience in the audience Sending applause and laughter to Yang An, the opening is so special!

Yang An put down his long knife and said, My name is Yang An. My job is to be the host of a TV variety show. I occasionally come on stage to talk about cross talk. Everyone knows Mr. Li Qiankun, the master of cross talk, right? I call him master...

oh!

The audience was pleasantly surprised, Yang An actually worshiped Li Qiankun, the most famous cross talk master in China, as his teacher?

After a pause, Yang An sighed in the next second, It's a pity that he refuses to agree, because he thinks my basic skills are not good!

Ha ha ha ha!

What a familiar taste!

What an unexpected twist!

At this moment, audiences in front of countless TVs across the country were watching, especially those who had watched Yang An's cross talk. The first thought that flashed in their minds was Take off your shoes and sing, and the second was Half-mute and half-deaf. , so Yang An's turning point made them all laugh.

Cao Shulin rejected you, and Li Qiankun also rejected you. Come on, Brother Yang, what kind of teacher do you worship? No one wants to accept you as an apprentice. You can continue to be a wild animal in the cross talk world. The day of the boss!

The audience thought so happily.

Yang An continued to introduce: The word flinch is not in my life dictionary! I decided to impress him with sincerity. When I learned that he lived in this Pear Garden Nursing Home, I would be a volunteer here after work! But Here, there are several old artists like Mr. Li, all of whom have taken a fancy to me, vying to accept me as an apprentice, insisting on teaching me all the skills! Wow~~~

The gongs, drums and cymbals sounded again, and a bald old man came out from behind the screen next to the first bed. The old man was wearing a split cloth jacket and also had a long knife in his hand. Knocked to the ground, howled, and fell to the ground begging for mercy, the movements were exaggerated and full of jokes.

The light shone on the bald old man, and many audience members didn't recognize him.

But in the world of folk art, especially the world of Peking Opera, senior fanciers in front of the TV, as well as opera practitioners, all exclaimed: Yuan Shiji!

Yuan Lao is 70 years old this year. He is a famous Peking Opera artist, a national first-class actor, and has won numerous awards throughout his life.

Yuan Lao complained and sang: Disciple, you must have not practiced kung fu again!

Yang An had no choice but to sing: Master, I have practiced, but... how about letting the apprentice solve the personal hygiene problem first, and then suffer death?

Yuan Lao sang: You go and come back quickly!

Yang An scrambled and rolled: Decree!

Yang An responded to Mr. Yuan with Peking opera singing, and finally escaped. He introduced to the audience: Did you see? My Peking opera master, Mr. Yuan Shiji, is 70 years old. His body is as strong as a boy. What a narrow escape! The next one, Allegro!

Yang An pulled out a set of allegro from his waist, and played a bar, like knocking on the door: Master!

The second old man played a bar and responded, Come in!

Can't enter the door if the Allegro code is wrong? This is really a wonderful professional way of knocking on the door. Amidst the laughter of the audience, Yang An met with Master Allegro.

Mr. Gao Fengshan, the famous allegro master, is 71 years old this year, a national first-class actor, and everyone who knows him is amazed. You are so old to perform on stage, it is really hard work!

An allegro professional greeting,

Yang An was tortured to the point of death, and he was not good at hitting the allegro. If he made a mistake, Mr. Gao Fengshan would definitely use force to train his disciples. Yang An hurriedly found an excuse to retreat and came to the third house.

Yao Xueyao, a famous single-string drum performance artist, is nearly 60 years old, but she still cannot hide her beauty and temperament. She is wearing a lake blue brocade cheongsam, and she is full of charm just sitting on the edge of the bed. When she was young, she was definitely a A woman of extraordinary beauty.

Yang An has to change his gender this time. Most of the single-string drum singers are female singers. There is such a female master at the booth. From the sitting posture, manners, movements, and even the tone of speech, Yang An has to be careful, imitating women's poses, and making jokes A hundred out!

The last one is of course Li Qiankun. Mr. Li refused to open the door, and he had to memorize Guankou by Yang An before he could enter. Always holding a folding fan and chasing two streets!

The audience in the audience watched very seriously, and gradually blended into the plot, with all their hearts on Yang An, wanting to see what interesting stories will happen in this special nursing home.

Like sketches, crosstalk dramas can be roughly divided into five steps: foreshadowing, narration, climax, sensationalism, and sentiment.

After the four old people had finished comforting, the foreshadowing introduction of the cross talk drama was completed.

Yang An walked to the front desk, pointed at his wrist and said, It's almost bedtime, and I have to adjust the watch. Why do you ask me to adjust the watch? Don't let the old people have a sense of time, otherwise they will be able to calculate their own time. With age, knowing that I am old, how much mental pressure is that...

As soon as this passage was finished, Old Peking Opera Master Yuan sang loudly: It's hateful~~~

Yang An was helpless: Look, this is mental pressure...

What is Mr. Yuan hating? Are you hating Yang An for not being good at learning? Or hate having no successor?

This performance didn't make the audience laugh at all, but many people vaguely grasped something.

The next performance officially entered the narrative stage.

Yang An continued to learn Peking Opera, but unfortunately he hadn't come out of the single string yet. He looked like a woman, so anxious that Mr. Yuan put a knife on his neck, and jumped up and down like an old child: Yang An , you have to learn Peking Opera from me! If you don’t learn this stuff, it will be lost, and if you don’t learn it, I will die!”

Allegro Elder Gao was also very disappointed with Yang An's performance: I can see that you don't want to learn Allegro at all. We don't have the fate of master and apprentice. Why don't we ask for brothers, not to be born in the same year and the same month, but to die in the same year and the same month. If you don’t learn Allegro, we brothers will take this craft away together!”

Aunt Shanxian Yao was very dissatisfied with Yang An: We don't need to match each other as master and apprentice. Why don't we get married? My biggest advantage is Kefu! If you don't learn, what's the point of keeping you in this world...

Cross talk master Li Qiankun hates Yang An the most: You can't even do the basic cross talk skills, how dare you stand on stage and talk about cross talk? It doesn't matter if you don't learn. After I go down, go ask our cross talk ancestor Dongfang Shuo , let him haunt you with nightmares every night!

Yang An was nearly driven mad by the four masters, and finally revealed his secrets. When the four knew that Yang An was half-learned in crafts because he was learning other subjects, the four old men stood together and argued.

At this time, the sketch finally came to the outbreak stage.

Four arts, four masters, dissatisfied with each other!

Allegro Elder Gao shouted: Who said allegro is noise? In the hands of our experts, allegro is art! Get out of the way! Yang An, I will let you listen today, what is real art!

There was a crackling sound of allegro, and more than 20 young people in traditional gowns came out from the left and right backstage, all holding up the allegro, standing in two rows, and collectively performing an allegro script of Sun Wukong Three Beats the Bone Demon!

shock! Very shocking!

More than 20 people played the Allegro and sang the lyrics together. They didn't hear any abnormal noises or flaws. These people are all disciples of Mr. Gao and several Allegro masters. They are also the only few Allegro performances left in the Chinese folk art world today. team!

The audience applauded and cheered. Hasn't this kind of big scene been seen for many years? How many years has Allegro disappeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala? They can still hear and see such a wonderful and pure Allegro book today!

At the end of the allegro, Mr. Li, the cross talker, pushed aside the crowd and waved: You think we are incompetent in the cross talk world, don't you? Disciples, memorize Geographic Map!

More than a dozen young comedians stood up, also dressed in traditional gowns, and recited the adapted Geographic Map in unison. They memorized the geographical map, and they didn't have to go out to travel around the world. In less than half a minute, they visited major cities in China. lap.

The cross talk was over, and Aunt Yao was dissatisfied again: Old man! I'll let you know what real beauty is today! Yang An, listen carefully! update fast

Six graceful classical beauties in cheongsams with octagonal drums came out from the backstage. Next to them sat an old man in his seventies who played the three-stringed lute, and sang a single-chord song Wind and Rain Returning to the Boat in unison with Aunt Yao. !

Aunt Yao's first sentence, The wind dissipates and the clouds dissipate, directly pierced the hearts of countless viewers, making their bones numb!

The femininity of women, the gentleness of the water town, and the lingering music seemed to stir everyone's heart. The audience was fascinated by it. It turns out that there is such a beautiful singing voice in this traditional art repertoire!

In the audience, there were many old audiences with tears in the corners of their eyes.

Old people generally seldom shed tears. They have seen too many joys and sorrows in their lives, and they have experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and their hearts are numb.

But now, hearing this song that only appeared in their childhood memories, the hearts of many old people softened, and they were plucked deep in their hearts by the clanking three-stringed tones, playing quietly, and muddy tears flowed from their eyes.

In the end, it was the turn of Peking Opera Mr. Yuan. He pulled out a Qinglong Yanyue Knife from nowhere, pulled Yang An over, patted his chest and said, They are all small dishes. If you want to talk about real skills and hard work, you must be The quintessence of our country, Peking Opera!
