On December 19th, in the Star Drama Village, the cross-talk actors of the Beijing Qu Art Troupe walked up to the stage and did not bow but supported the microphone, like a talk show actor... It's not that they forgot to prescribe the action, but they are really performing a talk show across borders.
If a talk show actor wants to be popular, he must first form a CP, while a cross-talk actor says that a talk show must first dismantle his partner. The original theme special performance called "Blurt Out", by 10 cross-talk actors from the Beijing Qu Art Troupe and 5 folk musicians from the Beijing Folk Orchestra, has performed four solo programs and two multi-person programs. Topics involving national tide, traditional culture, cross-border, network, pressure, health and other Internet high-frequency vocabulary, some of the performers are the original cross-talk partners to say their own, and some are cross-talk screenwriters personally on stage, did not expect the effect to be good. In the program "National Tide", cross-talk actor Li Han also performed with the Jiule Chamber Music Group of the Beijing Folk Orchestra, and said a national tide talk show with the help of the rich expressiveness of folk music.
There are many similarities between cross-talk and talk shows, and some people can't even tell the difference between the two, in fact, the two are still very different. Compared with stand-up comedy performances, cross-talk actors pay more attention to the integrity of the story and follow the performance rhythm of traditional arts. Therefore, if traditional cross-talk actors want to learn from the form of talk shows to create and perform, they must make corresponding adjustments in language habits, creative ideas, and performance methods, which is undoubtedly a new test for traditional cross-talk actors.
From this performance, we can see that the actors have indeed carefully considered the similarities and differences between cross-talk and talk shows, and have made a lot of efforts to do so. However, compared with professional stand-up comedians, the cross-talk performance habits they have learned since childhood will still be more or less revealed in their performances. The whole show has both the ease of talk show and the rules of cross-talk performance, and sometimes the actors don't seem to be relaxed enough. From the perspective of performance content, this is more like a combination of cross-talk and talk show, from which we can also see the understanding and interpretation of professional cross-talk actors on the emerging art of talk show.
Wang Yueming, head of the Beijing Quyi Troupe, introduced that in order to complete this cross-border performance, the performers and creators of the Beijing Quyi Troupe have walked into the talk show theater many times to experience and explore the balance and compatibility between traditional cross-talk and talk shows, ""Blurt Out" can get the support and love of the young audience present, and we are very happy. I hope that through this performance, more young friends can understand the outstanding young actors of the Qu Art Troupe and see the vigor and vitality of traditional arts. ”
