Liu Chunshan, who is famous for singing funny in Shanghai, once said, "There is no secret to eating open-mouthed rice, as long as a talking mouth can become a mental mechanism with an impromptu strain", at the same time, according to him, people who eat open-mouthed meals in Shanghai have no organization and no restrictions, as long as a talking mouth and an impromptu strain-based heart machine can also eat open-mouth meals. Therefore, in Shanghai, there are countless people who eat open meals.

Why do funny people call solo shows? This is because the funny people are all a protagonist and a partner. The partner is just speaking according to the protagonist's words, occupying a secondary position, if there is a rap monologue that is a personal performance, it is a hope for the text. The one who sang the monologue was actually still two people.

Shanghai rap is funny, according to my observation, there are not only many technical differences, but also depth and shallow differences in content. People who say funny look very bento, very easy, but in fact, it is a difficult thing. The only task of saying funny people is to make the audience laugh when they hear your words, and if a funny person stands on the stage and grunts for half a day, and can't make people laugh, that is the fatal thing.

However, the audience's taste is different, in what you think is funny material, in his he may not feel funny, so people who say funny, they have to be adaptable. In my observation, there are three kinds of people in Shanghai who say funny, one is a relatively high level of knowledge, with daily life as the theme, does not involve the relationship between the sexes, with a humorous ironic tone, the social news, daily life materials to say, in order to cause the audience to laugh. For example, Jiang Xiaoxiao, Feng Lele, Liu Chunshan, Lü Xiaofeng and the like are all; secondly, it is a kind of relationship between the sexes but not very obscene, only with fun as the center, without bad words, and vulgar actions to impress the audience, this kind of person is more than the previous one; secondly, people who take the filthy events of the two sexes as the theme, they do not depart from the relationship between the sexes, speak extremely vulgar words, do extremely bad actions, with low-level fun, causing people with a low level of general knowledge to laugh.

There are many people who sing comedy in Shanghai, there are still no accurate statistics, there are many people who sing burlesque, not only only one protagonist, one partner, but also an independent group of performances in the form of drama, which contains funny materials, such as Jiang Xiaoxiao, Zhang Ye'er, Yi Fangshuo, etc., all have independent teams.

At the same time, the monthly income of singing burlesque is not certain, it is said that Jiang Xiaoxiao, Liu Chunshan and others have a monthly income of more than a thousand, and the monthly income of a high-level government organ personnel is no more than that. However, the other group of people, life is very miserable, only thirty or forty yuan a month income, to maintain the family's life.

The burlesque community in Shanghai, because his singing is very in line with the needs of the class, so their business also has a thriving trend, but we hope that they will reform the content and strive to be self-motivated.
