The key to creation is to give the story drama, conflict and coincidence are essential elements, and the setting of family feuds can add more rich content to the story.
In the cross talk industry, there is a cross talk that has the potential to become a dramatic **. This cross talk is full of unexpected events, heart-wrenching experiences, intense conflicts, and unforeseen disasters.
After the efforts of several generations of cross talk actors, they repeatedly scrutinized, polished, cleaned and dismantled this cross talk many times, and finally transformed it into a cross talk series, which is "Night Travel".
Night Walk was born in 1954 and was inspired by a set of cartoons published in a newspaper by Li Binsheng, an art editor in Beijing. The cartoons depict a man riding a broken bicycle, triumphant, nervous, and finally falling and carrying his bike home.
In 1955, when the first traffic law of the People's Republic of China was promulgated, several traffic police officers from the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Traffic Department referred to this group of cartoons and created a cross talk, the content of which was roughly the same as the "Night Journey" that I heard later.
When the traffic law was publicized at the temple fair, they performed this cross talk, and the audience responded enthusiastically. After Hou Baolin learned of this, he specially found these traffic policemen, hoping to perform this cross talk.
With their consent, Hou Baolin systematically revised the script to make it a standard cross talk script.
In 1956, Beijing Film Factory director Xie Tian directed "Night Travel" at the Spring Festival Gala, which made Hou Baolin and Guo Qiru unforgettable screen partners.
This first edition of "Night Walking" is not only complete and very modern, but the scene at the beginning of the bus is still fascinating even now. This cross talk has been highly praised by peers, Guo Rongqi Zhu Xiangchen in Tianjin, Chang Baoting and Bai Quanfu have also performed on different occasions, among which Guo Rongqi's version has also added some unique baggage.
And the protagonist in the story, riding a broken bicycle that rings everywhere except the bell, holds a paper lantern as a headlight, which has become his iconic image.
This is the first generation of "Night Travel", which carries our memories and laughter.
Forty years later, the famous cross talk writer Shen Yongnian created a cross talk "New Night Journey", which was performed by Hou Yaowen and Shi Fukuan at the Ministry of Public Security Gala. This cross talk is different from the previous version, and the audience can see the original words of Hou Baolin and Guo Qiru interspersed in the middle, as well as the cross talk TV clips of Hou Yaowen and Shi Fukuan.
In "New Night Travel", Hou Yaowen and Shi Fukuan renovated and designed the original section, replacing the original bicycle with a motorcycle, and changing the son of the old man who Hou Baolin crashed into a pharmacy to crash into a restaurant.
These changes make "New Night Walk" more modern and more appealing to younger audiences.
This newly adapted cross talk inherits Hou Baolin's tradition, but also adds elements of the new era. For example, the role of Shi Fukuan's younger brother was added, allowing him to draw motorcycle license plates and driver's licenses, which were not available in Hou Baolin's version.
At the same time, Hou Yaowen's image of Beijing Hutong skewers in cross talk TV is very vivid, and his dog spirit can even compete with Zhao Weizhou.
3. Li Jindou and Li Jianhua's new "Night Journey" is different from the previous version, this time the work is completely free from the influence of Hou's father and son, and is composed by Lian Chunming and his godson Fang Qingping (probably mainly based on Fang Qingping), and performed by Li Jindou and Li Jianhua.
This cross talk is one of Li Jindou's masterpieces in the post-Chen Yongquan era. If in terms of entertainment, the new version of "Night Travel" surpasses the two versions of Hou's father and son, and the jokes are full of golden sentences, such as "Take a frying spoon as a stopper", "The daughter-in-law becomes an African girl", "Ah. Gold. Fight. Fight. Fight. Fight. Fight. Wait.
Although Hou Baolin's version of "Night Travel" is better in terms of taste, especially the classic bridge of waiting for the bus, but in terms of fun and fun, it is still Li Jindou and Li Jianhua's new version of "Night Travel".
Fourth, Guo Degang and Yu Qian's "New Night Journey" is unique in style. First of all, it was performed for more than twice as long as other versions, providing audiences with a richer viewing experience.
Secondly, in terms of content, Guo Degang integrated and adapted Hou Yaowen's version and Li Jindou's version to make the story more compact and interesting. It is particularly worth mentioning that Hou Zhen replaced the role of Shi Fukuan's younger brother, which increased the interest of the show.
Although Guo Degang borrowed some elements from Li Jindou's version in this version of "New Night Travel", because the overall logical structure is not as good as the previous versions, and Guo Degang may not have carefully polished this paragraph, the audibility of this version is not high, and it is a cross talk work that can be heard or not.
Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue's cross talk performance in "The Car is Awkward" can be seen as Yue Yunpeng's re-creation of Guo Degang's "New Night Journey", but he added many original elements of his own to the performance to make the whole work more entertaining.
However, Xiao Yueyue's cross talk is not based on logic, but with the goal of pursuing funny, for example, in the show, he mentioned that Sun Yue's girlfriend mistook the pig for Sun Yue, although this joke is really funny, but that's all.
In short, the most noteworthy version of "Night Walking" is undoubtedly Hou Baolin and Li Jindou, who have performed a unique charm and a good feeling. For audiences with low laughter, Yue Yunpeng's version is also a good choice.
A comic inspired cross talk, which has gone through the interpretation of four generations of cross talk artists such as Hou Baolin, Li Jindou, and Yue Yunpeng, spanning 50 years, and finally becoming a cross talk series, which is enough to see the vitality of "Night Walking" and the timeless value of its cross talk reflecting life.
