Cross talk, a traditional Chinese performing art form, has a long history, it is not only an art that emphasizes eloquence and wisdom, but also a cultural entertainment method that is deeply loved by the people. With the evolution of the times, the performance method of cross talk and the audience's acceptance are also constantly changing. At the intersection of tradition and modernity, the art of cross talk is facing a multifaceted controversy over definitions and ways of performing.
The views of Cao Yunjin and Li Jing not only emphasize the entertainment of cross talk, but pay more attention to its artistry and connotation. They believe that a good cross talk performance should have a tight story logic, well-designed jokes and climaxes, so that such a performance can really move people's hearts and resonate with the audience. This view advocates that cross talk is an art form that requires skill and thought, not just simple laughter.
In contrast, Miao Fu and others have reservations about certain modern cross talk performances, especially criticizing the performance methods of Guo Degang and Zhang Yunlei and their fan culture. They believe that these performances may be overly entertaining, ignoring the fundamental spirit of cross talk as a traditional art.
The Deyun Club led by Guo Degang has undoubtedly played an important role in promoting modern cross talk. Their performance style and fan culture have drawn both praise and criticism. Some believe that Deyun Club's performance turned cross talk into a pop culture phenomenon, contrary to the traditional spirit of cross talk. But some people believe that the changes made by Deyun Club are a necessary attempt for cross talk to keep pace with the times.
In terms of fan culture, the lightstick controversy is a focal point. Deyun Club's performance in Shanghai eliminated the practice of audience waving light sticks, which may be out of consideration for maintaining the purity and focus of the cross talk performance. However, some netizens believe that true art should not be limited by form, reflecting the audience's pursuit of freedom of performance.
How to maintain the tradition without losing the connection with modern society is a key issue in the development of cross talk art. We need to recognize that every art form needs to evolve with the times, but this development must not lose its essence. The inheritance and innovation of crosstalk should be a balanced process, both respecting and maintaining its traditional characteristics, and making it conform to the aesthetic and acceptance Xi of modern audiences.
The role of fan culture in cross talk performances cannot be ignored. The participation of fans can bring vitality and enthusiasm to cross talk, but it is also necessary to be careful not to over-commercialize it, so as not to affect the artistic quality of cross talk. In the process of disseminating and promoting cross talk, artists should think about how to make fan culture a positive energy for spreading cross talk art, rather than making it an obstacle to the development of art.
All in all, the future development of cross talk art should be a process of integrating tradition and modernity. Artists need to actively explore innovative performance methods to meet the needs of modern society while maintaining the traditional charm of cross talk. By balancing tradition and modernity, the art of cross talk will undoubtedly continue to flourish in the context of the new era, and continue to be loved and respected by people around the world as an important part of Chinese culture.
