Cross-talk is a strict language culture and art, so it also has regional language and cultural limitations. For example, even if the northern crosstalk is said to be wonderful, it is often not as popular as cantonese crosstalk in the Cantonese area of Guangdong. Especially for many of the older generation of Cantonese people, it is very difficult for them to even listen to Mandarin, and it is even more impossible to understand the jokes in Mandarin crosstalk.
Like Stephen Chow's movies, many people say that half of Zhou Xingchi's achievements today are the dubbing achievements of "grouper", which of course has some truth, but for many Cantonese people, if Stephen Chow's movie is replaced by the dubbing of "grouper", they would rather not watch it. Because through dubbing movies, especially comedy movies, dubbing has lost the language essence of the movie itself.
When it comes to Cantonese cross-talk, it is necessary to mention Huang Junying and Yang Da, two giants in the Cantonese cross-talk industry. In the 1980s and 1990s, and even earlier, Yang Da and Huang Junying in the cross-talk industry, Zhang Yuekai and Lin Zhaoming, who talked about the ancient world, could be said to be the "four treasures" of Guangdong people.
Just before this year's New Year, 85-year-old Huang Junying and his 84-year-old wife Cui Lingxiao visited their good partner of decades, 86-year-old Yang Da. During this period, they reminisced about the past and interesting things when they were partners together, and discussed the future of Cantonese cross-talk together. When he was parting, Because Huang Junying said, "We really see each other once less these days", Yang Da burst into tears.
It is also because of this meeting that they have recalled the good memories of countless Cantonese people, recalling the past full of laughter they once brought to us, and at the same time, there is an indescribable sadness because of seeing the two masters aging. In those years, the scene of a family or a neighbor gathered around the TV set and laughed together also came to mind.
Yang Da is a person who laughs before making a sound, and when it comes to rising, he always can't help but stand up and paddle his hands and feet. The "dream combination" of Yang Da and Huang Junying is recognized as the holder of the bull's ear and is an authentic cross-talk expert. In particular, their work "Guangzhou Dialect Fun" is a masterpiece
"Green on the green BB, yellow on the yellow qinqin"
Huang Junying: "I want Qing BB, I want Qingqin to get it?" ”
Yang Da: "Our Guangzhou dialect department does not have a Qingqinqin, and the Qinqinqing has it." ”
"Idiom Collection", "Ah Mao A Shou", "Breaking the Routine", "A Little Taller Than You", "Borrowing the Phone" and other works are not only full of the charm of Cantonese in addition to making the audience "laugh and burst their stomachs". From the tape recorder era to the DVD era, Huang Junying and Yang Da's cross-talk tapes and DVDs were treasured in almost every household, and even more popular in Cantonese-speaking areas of Guangdong than the song and discs of the Four Heavenly Kings.
For the "dream combination" between him and Huang Junying, Yang Da said: "We are not just a "dream combination", but also a natural pair. The tacit understanding between us, the husband and wife is no more than that. Huang Junying and I were like a family, and I watched him get married and have a son. His wife was so familiar that she often called me "Dead Boy Da".
In fact, since Yang Da retired, Huang Junying's "laughing skills" have also lost half, like Huang Junying's disciple Chen Jianxiong, who is also played by Su Guiyuan in "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", who first debuted because of the "Fat Boy Rice" sketch hit, but in the end the audience can only remember his work.
Since retiring in 2000, Mr. Yang has almost completely disappeared from the view of Guangdong audiences, and there are even reports that he has died. However, in reality, like everyone sees, he is an optimistic and comfortable person, and after retirement, he once carried a camera on his back to the mountains and rivers of the motherland. Now Yang Da and Huang Junying have become elderly people, may they be healthy and long-lived!
