Suddenly, one day, I found that there were more and more festivals of various kinds, some of which had been there before, but they were not taken seriously, and some so-called "festivals" were created later.
One of the big reasons why it feels like there are more and more festivals is that there is a pair of hands behind the scenes pushing, merchants.
The most typical "festival" created by merchants is probably "Double 11", followed by "618", and yes, there is also "Double 12".
Far from it, in the cross-talk industry, there are actually similar things made by merchants, such as the "sealing the box", "opening the box" and "Gang Silk Festival" of the Deyun Society.
Recently, the cross-talk actor Hou Yaohua publicly expressed his different opinions on the "sealing of the box" in the cross-talk industry at a ceremony to worship the teacher, he believes that the "sealing of the box" is the rule of the pear garden line, and it has nothing to do with the cross-talk music art circle, and the cross-talk industry uses these to engage in these is "moths", and it can even be said that "deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors".
Hou Yaohua did not say it, and when he said it, he caused a lot of discussion, of course, according to the usual practice, there were more people who accused him.
Is Hou Yaohua's evaluation of the "sealing of boxes" in the cross-talk industry reasonable?
Yes, of course there is some truth.
The so-called "sealing the box" is indeed the proper noun of the opera industry, and the drama team rests at the end of the year, so the performance utensils such as the head of the line are sealed in the box, and the seal of "sealing the box" is affixed, and the box will not be opened before the "opening of the stage" in the coming year.
I believe that people who are familiar with the opera industry know that the head of the opera team is not generally more, not to mention other things, the line head needed for "Mu Guiying Hanging Commander" is estimated to be three or five large boxes are not enough, plus there are other lines and props of the play, so the sealing of the box in the opera industry is like the inventory of the supermarket hypermarket, which is really a big thing.
In contrast, in the cross-talk industry, the so-called line of cross-talk artists in history is also a coat, generally only one, more can not afford to do, and then fans, wake wood or something, these add up to a bag of skin can be completely stuffed. And cross-talk artists go out to perform generally are two people, two people add up to two baggage, half of the box are stuffed with dissatisfaction, there is really no need to seal the box, there is nothing to seal.
In the 1990s TV series Ma Sanli, there was such a scene, whether it was Ma Sanli's father Ma Delu and his partner going out to the cave, or Ma Sanli and his own running on the dock together, everyone was a small baggage, nothing else.
Even in the twenty-first century, there are still not so many lines in the cross-talk industry, and there is no need to seal the heads in boxes like the opera world.
Therefore, what Hou Yaohua said has a certain truth.
However, we also need to know one thing, the cross-talk industry has always learned from the opera industry, and there has been this tradition from history, such as the so-called "finale" and "big axis", which are the nouns of the opera industry. The cross-talk industry has been at the bottom of society for a long time in history, and in order to go up, it is natural to learn from industries with a higher status than itself, so in many places it imitates the opera industry.
That is to say, the cross-talk industry has an old tradition of learning from the opera industry, so it is not wrong for the cross-talk industry to engage in "sealing the box" and learning from the opera industry.
From this level, Hou Yaohua's statement that the cross-talk industry is obviously too much to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, which is somewhat extreme and not objective.
So, why is the cross-talk community, to put it bluntly, the Deyun Society's first sealing box, and why does the Deyun Society want to engage in this sealing box?
Of course, just kidding, maybe in Guo Degang's heart, the two words "xingtou" have special historical significance, so he wants to "seal" it.
Serious evaluation, or Wang Yuebo said accurately, he had talked about the sealing box of the cross-talk industry in his own bookstore before.
First of all, Wang Yuebo's attitude towards the cross-talk industry is similar to that of Hou Yaohua, which is what the cross-talk industry has learned from the opera industry, and the box sealing has nothing to do with qu art and cross-talk.
Secondly, Wang Yuebo's evaluation is more accurate than Hou Yaohua's, saying that the so-called "sealing the box" is actually a gimmick made by some people in the cross-talk industry.
Heck, that's the most accurate assessment.
The reason why Guo Degang engaged in "box sealing" performances in Deyun Society is actually the same as the "double 11", "double 12" and "618" in the e-commerce industry.
With commercial gimmicks to attract audiences, stimulate consumption, but also to establish a brand for Deyun Society, relatively speaking, "Gang silk festival" is considered to be Deyun Society's self-creation, "sealing the box" and "unboxing" is Deyun Society borrowed from the opera industry, which is the same as the e-commerce industry borrowed the "Singles' Day" that netizens are hotly hyped when the "Double 11" promotion is actually the same.
Interestingly, "Double 11" was originally an e-commerce activity, and over time it became a big promotion festival for the entire e-commerce industry. Similarly, the Deyun Society hyped up "sealing the box" and "opening the box", and as a result, other private cross-talk groups also engaged in take-it-allism, and also played "sealing the box" and "opening the box".
Similar things also happened on the Taiping lyrics, what is the singing in the cross-talk "talking and singing", in fact, there has been no accurate answer in the cross-talk industry, which is related to the cross-talk industry in history, and there is no standard that is the most obvious standard in the cross-talk industry.
The more accepted statement in the cross-talk industry is that the singing in "talking and singing" should refer to the positive singing, that is, the Zheng'er Eight Classics singing a play or singing a song, rather than referring to the Taiping lyrics alone. After all, the Taiping lyrics themselves are not unique to the cross-talk industry, magic, selling medicine, asking for food, playing monkeys, singing small songs, and acrobatic jianghu artists often sing, saying that it is the cross-talk industry that sings this door is not as accurate as the main door singing of the eight doors of the jianghu.
However, deyun society deliberately said that this "Taiping lyrics" is sung by the cross-talk honmon, and the singing in "talking and singing" has been prescribed as taiping lyrics, which is actually the same as "sealing the box" as a hype business gimmick.
The reason why Wang Yuebo and Hou Yaohua both have different opinions on the "sealing of boxes" in the cross-talk industry is not estimated to be only because of this one thing, it is estimated that it is also related to the Factun Society's frequent setting of its own standards for the industry, coupled with the clamor of some fans, which will make some people in the cross-talk industry dissatisfied.
In the end, there is actually nothing wrong with the business gimmick, just the meal, not the chill, as long as you don't hype your gimmick into the industry standard, it doesn't hurt.
