The first time I watched "Old Age", I only thought it was absurd and funny.
Plot no 6. Say that the old age is extremely cold and hot, how cold? has to have a stick, otherwise it will freeze! How hot is it? When the sun came out, Lao Guo took a peach on his head, so only the peach on his head was not sunburned, and everywhere else was sunburned!
How to grow crops in such weather? No seeds, Oh my God!
Rain is sesame oil cream is salt hail is knotty soup snow is white noodles, three cents (the old man's version is a money maker) two cows two cents sheep, more than 60 pounds of pigs a penny, 60 pounds of less than a penny of 97, there are a whole zero!
And the dish. Green vegetables for a penny to eat a year, huge cabbage eggplant, telephone poles as big as the big rotten bamboo a penny to eat for two years, gluten do not want money tofu no one eats, worried about the tofu shop treasurer kneeling on the street begging people to come in "eat my tofu Wow!" ”
Ahhh! Who wants to eat your old gang dish of tofu!
What a mess!
It's funny. Because this "Old Old Man" I watched is a drunken version of Brother Qian'er, Lao Guo did everything in his power, as if he had drunk fake wine himself, Brother Qian'er seemed to be stable, how Coke!
One shelved is ten years. Old Guo's good cross-talk has gone more, compared to "On Dreams", "Wife and Child", "Old Old Man" is extremely inferior, do not like to watch!
Looking at "Old Old Man" again, it was Yang Jiulang who praised Dong Jiuli last year.
Even with Yang Jiulang's blessing, I still think that the cross-talk of "Old Age" is not interesting. Cold so cold, hot so hot, eat so cheap, no place is reasonable, can not be absurd for the sake of absurdity, right? What is the logic of this story and the starting point of the characters? Where does this living point fall? Is it really the three mundane jobs of playing sticks and pinballs that make a pee fart?
Until the progress of "tofu does not need money", I suddenly remembered a children's literature I read last year, "Three Copper Plate Tofu".
Three copper plates of tofu
In the article, the author describes going to my grandmother's house with my brother when I was a child, and my grandmother asked my aunt to buy them three copper plates of tofu, which was the first time they ate tofu. The grandmother in the article has never tasted the taste of tofu in her life.
Ren Daxing, the author of "Three Copper Plate Tofu", was born in 1925. Was tofu from that era such a precious and good ingredient?
When each cross-talk is born, it carries the memories and emotions that are unique to that time. I can't understand "Old Age", just because few people now understand the joys and sorrows of that era.
According to the data, "Old And Old" is one of the eight virtues of cross-talk and one of the "Eight Monsters of Tianqiao" in the early years of the Republic of China.
Jiao Dehai was born in 1878, which was the last year of three consecutive years of drought in North China, and it was also the most severe and tragic year, and the history of this "unprecedented disaster in more than two hundred years" was called the Ding PengQi Famine.
"The most terrifying horror novels are as bland as a bowl of white water compared to them"
High temperature and extreme cold can not grow food, what to eat? Heaven forbid! At that time, people called the emperor emperor should not be, the president was not effective, but could not only count on God?
Where is the absurdity? Is it the absurdity of the knotty soup under the white noodles under the sesame oil, or the absurdity of the pig under the cow and the sheep under the cow? Today's audience sees this, may also coax the hall to laugh, laugh at the previous people really did not see ah, so easy to yang each god once, after the alveolar want to half a day to have a bunch of this stuff!
But these now commonplace things, in the eyes of the people at that time, were indeed given by the gods (God)!
Concocting an old man who seems to be teasing with and in a bitter day with exaggerated means is the highest level of fantasy about a better life in that era of not being able to live! It is the philosophical wisdom derived from suffering and the realistic embodiment of "the core of comedy is tragedy".
This year, the Qu Association issued a proposal advocating "educating and enlightening people in laughter with tears in their eyes." If I had to count crosstalk that meets this standard, the first one would be "Old Age"!
It is so real that it makes the audience grin while swallowing tears in the stomach during the years of suffering, combined with the historical background at that time, how painful the memories carried by this life are, and how superb the performance techniques are. How can such a work deny the meaning of the work as a whole because it is created for exaggeration?
To measure whether a literary and artistic work is elegant or vulgar, it is to look at the ideological connotation, not just to "find chapters and excerpt sentences" from the text, and to judge the level of the entire work with some sentences.
Now people think that "Old Age" is absurd, and that is a good time to catch up. Catching up with the good days that we no longer have to rely on fantasizing about The Lord to get out of the oil underneath to escape the cruelty of life. Now we can not only eat enough, but also eat well! Fortunately, only a few decades ago, I couldn't understand Old Age, and I felt that this life was only staring at and farts too vulgar.
Works like "Old Age", now that Deyun Society has been re-enacted, it seems to have smashed the stigma of its "three customs", but carefully combined with the historical background and the intention of the times produced by the works, the behavior of some people shouting "three customs" today can really be regarded as reminiscent of the past and the present, and it is very absurd irony.
It is estimated that after the Haitian people who really eat the soil today have removed the simple language barrier, I am afraid that they will be able to build a deep soul resonance with our ancestors.
It can be seen that many times, people judge the elegance of a work more out of their own subjective preferences, limited by their own cognition and whether they are hungry or not, not full, rather than the artistic value of the work itself.
To put it bluntly, the elegant people can always find the elegant place, the layman looks at everything, and the person who holds on to pick the fault can pick out the fault by looking at anything, as for whether the fault is true or false, Lao Guo said it well: "The person who wronged you knows more than you how wronged you are." ”
The reason why cross-talk can develop to the current scale in more than two hundred years and still maintain a strong vitality is because cross-talk has always breathed with the public and shared a common destiny, which not only expresses the wishes of the public, but also brings laughter to the public.
Those who are picky about this three-way, that and all day long, ask them to eat the soil first, and then talk about their feelings after they are finished.
