In the next episode of the eighth episode of "Deyun Dou Laughing Society 2", in the cross-talk of Meng Hetang and Cao Heyang, Meng Hetang ate a box lunch in order to match the plot, which is a bold attempt.
There is no restriction on eating and drinking on stage, and it is also very common in sketches. But on the cross-talk stage, because all the performances rely on the mouth of the actor. Then this mouth is talking at the same time, if you add food, for this perception, whether the audience can accept it is difficult to say, so after the broadcast of this program, it is also necessary to see the audience's reaction.
In this season's cross-talk creation performance, Meng Hetang can obviously make people feel different from theater and commercial performance, and he has been trying to change and experiment. In fact, adding cross-talk in variety shows is not flattering for actors, and if the works on the stage want to look good, they need to be constantly polished and corrected. The temporary creation and premiere are cut into the main film. This is the most important thing for cross-talk actors, and it is too difficult to perform color. In the case of not changing the rules, performing what the individual is more familiar with has become the best choice, and Meng Hetang did not, but instead sought innovation and change in each issue, quite a bit of courage to let go: since they are all trying, then take a bigger step.
Whether Meng Hetang's work paid tribute to Master Guo Degang is unknown. But eating a box lunch on the stage, Guo Degang has already tried it, and the effect achieved is perfect.
As early as 2006, Guo Degang once performed the big drum book "Yue Fei's Tomb". Generally performing drum books, the actors bow on the stage, introduce themselves, and show the accompaniment, which begins to enter the performance state. And Guo Degang did not, he played a drum book actor who was invited to perform from the beginning of his appearance. As soon as he came on the scene, he ate fried cakes, and also "complained" that the organizers were not well entertained: "We eat noodles everywhere we go, and we can only eat fried cakes when we come to you!" After eating the fried cake, you should rinse your mouth with mineral water (rinse your mouth and swallow it), wash your face, and even wash your feet, and your mouth still has words: "The old saying is to wash your feet before singing"!
After this big set, the drum book has not yet begun to sing, and the audience has already laughed forward and backward. Looking back on the video of that year now, people can't help but be funny, and even a little sad. Why?
First, the atmosphere in the small theater of that year was good. The field is small, the people are enthusiastic, and it seems lively.
Second, Guo Degang is young, his spirit is sharp, every face and action are conveyed in place, and the early control of the audience's emotional changes is accurate.
The third is that although the Deyun Society began to catch fire that year, the conditions were still relatively difficult, and Guo Degang lacked skills in performances, interviews, and recording programs. His performance could not have been so carefully designed, I guess it was really not time to eat, and simply took the stage with the fried cake that had not been eaten. So there was no trace of deliberate performance at all, really eating and washing on the stage, gargling and wiping his mouth, and then living with the teasing of the strings. That's why this kind of real, vivid, face-to-face performance is so moving, even if the video footage was blurred back then, it still looks clear and present.
