Lao Guo's stand-up comedy can't even get into the top three?

As we all know, comedy can be categorized into monologue, duologue, and group comedy by the number of performers, and the most difficult one to perform, which requires the actors to have very deep skills, is the monologue.

Because there is only one person who performs stand-up comedy, it is all about one person, one mouth, and no one else to round off the show.

The monologue is similar to the commentary, the difference between the two, Liu Bao Rui master of this good solution, he said 'monologue and the commentary is not essentially different, but I have to make the audience laugh, the book does not need to make the audience laugh.

Fifth place: the king of digging holes - Guo Degang

Speaking of Lao Guo, I'm afraid I don't need to make an introduction, and I like the audience who don't like him, I know a little bit about his past. The old Guo is good at counterpoint, but the monologue favorite, his explanation is that since childhood to learn the commentary, there are many years of experience in the commentary, but also often to the 'storyteller' as a self, almost every year will find a few days time to open a monologue show, but also almost every year will be dug out of the countless pit, known as the monologue world of the king of the pit.

In fact, Lao Guo's long monologue, in the end, is a commentary or a comic, he himself can not say, his explanation is that 'commentary and monologue form is very similar, are a person to speak, there are stories, there are commentaries. Perhaps because I am a comedian, so I say the book is called a monologue, replaced by the words of Mr. Yuan Kuaocheng, a great commentator, he said monologue, but also by the audience to become a commentary'.

Regardless of whether Lao Guo's book is a commentary or a comic book, he has done a great deal for the monologue. He discovered many traditional monologues that were on the verge of being lost, rewrote them, and presented them on stage again. For example, in Zhang Shuangxi's "Catching Demons", Lao Guo traveled from the south to the north, searching for famous artists, and finally obtained the surviving copy of the traditional "Eight Sticks" program from the late Mr. Zheng Wenxi, which escaped the fate of being lost.

Lao Guo's stand-up comedy is not only in its inheritance, but also in its creation. For example, the long monologue "Jigong biography", Lao Guo has been said for several years, said the beginning of the 'nine dubu Huang Shuji', to today, but only to the second dubu, to see people gnash their teeth, simply more than the British drama dragged. Now I have not dared to listen to the old Guo's monologue, every time I listen to each time and countless new pits haunting, really 'life is limited, more than digging pits' ah! I'm really afraid that one day Lao Guo will forget all the pits he dug, and that's probably the thing that many viewers are most afraid of.

Fourth place: comedy talent - Zhao Peiru

Nowadays, when it comes to Mr. Zhao Peiru, a lot of young people do not know his name, but one of his own grandson is the hottest figure in the comedy world today. That's right! Mr. Zhao Peiru is Lao Guo's own master, Mr. Hou Yaowen's master.

Mr. Zhao Peiru was born in 1914, under the tutelage of Jiao Shouhai, the earliest of the sixth-generation Baozhi generation of comedians, and is the head of this generation of comedians, as well as one of the most outstanding figures. He is an excellent comedian, no matter monologue, counterpoint, group comedy are familiar, charming, can be called a generation of 'ghost talent'. In 1951, Mr. Zhao Peiru and Mr. Chang Baokun went to perform in the Korean War and had an accident, Mr. Zhao Peiru was honorably wounded and Mr. Chang Baokun was killed.

After that, Mr. Zhao Peiru was mainly a stand-up comedian and storyteller, and his performances were much better than his counterparts. Mr. Zhao Peiru was once praised as 'the first of the ancient comedians' by Ma Zhiming, a master of comedy with a low-profile and a hidden name in the history.

I have listened to several versions of "Picking the Horse's Coat", and the one with the highest artistic achievement is the one with Ma Sanli, Guo Rongqi, and Zhao Peiru. Mr. Zhao was in the middle of the two masters' performances, and appeared to be at ease with the two masters' performances, and was able to take over, which was evident in his ability. Before the 'Cultural Revolution', Mr. Zhao Peiru was paired with Master Ma Sanli and recorded a large number of traditional comedies, leaving precious materials for future generations of actors.

It is even more noteworthy that Mr. Zhao Peiru had 33 disciples in his life, including Mr. Hou Yaowen, as well as Li Boxiang, Chang Guitian, Ma Zhicun, Gao Yingpei, Ren Mingqi, and many other well-known comedians.

In 1973, Mr. Zhao Peiru, a generation of comedy 'genius', died in Tianjin at the age of 59.

Third place: a generation of masters - Zhang Shoushen

The master of comedy Zhang Shoushen, born in 1899, at the age of twelve years old, worshiped the previous generation of artists, Mr. Jiao Dehai as a teacher, the fifth generation of the Shouzhi generation of artists of the door, but also this generation of comedian with the greatest achievements, the most prestigious and the highest level of artists.

Mr. Zhang Shoushen was good at counterpoint, especially known for his monologue, and was known as the king of jokes and master of humor. His stand-up comedy works such as "Little Fairy", "Three Myopes" and "Eating Watermelon" have been passed down to the present day and are outstanding masterpieces of traditional stand-up comedy. 1958, Mr. Zhang Shoushen recorded the stand-up comedy "Thief Talking", which is the only surviving video material of Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang Shoushen was the first actor to take his comedy out of Beijing and Tianjin, and pioneered monologue for young actors. During the Republican period, Zhang Shoushen's name stood for comedy, and he performed at the teahouse in the penultimate appearance, which was the highest achievement for a comedian at that time, and it was not until the emergence of Master Hou Bao-lin that comedians were able to save up for the bottom of the show.

After the establishment of New China, Mr. Zhang Shoushen actively participated in the cultural construction, training Chang Bao Koon, Liu Baorui, Tian Lihe, Liu Lifu and many other masters of comedy.

During the Cultural Revolution, Mr. Zhang Shoushen, who was the most senior, the most senior and the oldest in the comedy industry at that time, was the first to be criticized. Finally, in 1970, Mr. Zhang Shoushen died of poverty and illness at the age of 72.

Mr. Zhang Shoushen in the comedy world no one knows no one knows, and by the industry and outside the people of the fold, his comedy elegant with humor, wisdom in the penetration of sensitivity, whether it is monologue, duet comedy, group comedy, and the lyrics of peace, etc., are very good at, is a recognized master of the comedy.

Second place: comedy titan - Ma Sanli

Ma Sanli is a familiar audience comedy master, he was born in 1914 in a family of opera, grandfather Enxu, his father, Ma Delu, elder brother Ma Guiyuan are outstanding comedy seniors. As a child, he worshipped Zhou Deshan, one of the 'Eight Virtues of Comic Opera', as his teacher, and was the fifth generation of the Shouzhi generation of comedians, and the last of this generation of comedians to pass away.

In his early years, Mr. Ma Sanli was mainly a jokester, and was very good at slamming his tongue, such as 'opening a congee factory', 'white meeting', and 'boasting about the house'. Gradually formed his 'GuanKou' based, not warm, not anxious, not fast, not slow, unique style of 'Ma's comedy'.

After the Cultural Revolution, Mr. Ma Sanli partnered with Mr. Wang Fengshan, mostly performing as a comic comic, putting many excellent traditional programs on the screen for the first time, such as 'Moon on the Western River', 'Eating Lantern Festival', 'Essay Club' and so on, leaving behind precious materials. From this. The words 'no one is not Zongma' have been circulated in the comedy world.

After the death of his old partner, Mr. Wang Fengshan, there was no one in the comedy world who could hold Mr. Ma Sanli. So, Mr. Ma Sanli switched to Mr. Monoguchi, which was much more accomplished. The vast majority of the monologue works he used were his own creations, such as Practicing Qigong, Chasing, and Finding Sugar Pieces, etc. The works were closely related to the lives of ordinary people, and the more you listen to them, the more flavorful they become, until his most outstanding masterpiece, Amusing You, appeared, which pushed Ma's school of acoustic music to another peak.

Some people say that Ma Sanli's comedy is not enjoyable, that's because you didn't listen to him. Listening to his comedy, you can outline all the characters in your mind, which is the charm of comedy, and the baggage that is shaken out at the end will surely make the audience smile after you think about it for a while.

On December 8, 2001, at the age of 87, Ma Sanli said goodbye to the stage, and he said in the battlefield of the party, 'Farewell to the stage is not the same as goodbye to the comedy, I have to work hard to learn comedy and study comedy in the future'.

On February 11, 2003, Master Ma Sanli passed away at the age of 89, as the oldest, most senior, most senior, and most profound master of Chinese comedy, the audience was saddened to hear this.

First place: the king of one-liners - Liu Baorui

Mr. Liu Baorui, known as the 'king of one-liners', was born in 1915, and is the disciple of the master of the comic Zhang Shoushen, and one of the most outstanding representatives of the sixth generation of Baozhi generation of comedians. Mr. Liu Baorui was born in 1915, is the disciple of the master Zhang Shoushen, and is one of the most outstanding representatives of the sixth generation of Baozhi generation of comedians.

Mr. Liu Baorui had a rough life, his family was poor when he was a child, and he had to devote himself to the art of music; at the age of 13, he learned to learn comedy from his teacher; at the age of 14, he started to put down performances in Tianqiao and other places; at the age of 17, he started to 'run the dock' with Mr. Ma Sanli, who was 18 at that time; and he went to Hong Kong alone in 1949 to become the first person who brought the comedy to Hong Kong.

At the age of 17, he and Mr. Ma Sanli, who was 18 at the time, started to perform at the pier.

As he was not very well endowed, he was born with a yin and yang voice, so he was not favored at first. However, with his superb understanding and diligent exploration, he became unique in the field of stand-up comedy, and eventually became a generation of masters. His stand-up comedy draws on the art techniques of the southern one-legged opera and commentary, and draws on the performance techniques of movies and dramas, blending them together, and after a long period of performance practice, he has gradually formed a unique and distinctive style of "making the work" meticulous and solid, "baggage" chic and implicit, and voice and voice, and emotion, and spirit, all of which are well equipped with a unique and distinctive style of "making the work" detailed and solid, "baggage" chic and implicit, and voice and voice, The unique artistic style of the show has been gradually formed through long-term performance practice. As a result, he has been honored with the titles of 'King of One-Mouth Comedy' and 'Cold-faced Funnyman'.

His masterpieces of stand-up comedy, such as "Three Steps Up in a Row", "Pearl Jade and White Jade Soup", "Three Risks in a Day", "Jia Xingjia", etc., are all traditional segments, but no one dares to challenge them in the comedy world after he finishes them, because they all know that they can't surpass the version of Liu Bao-rui in any way. This is a warning to directors and producers who often dare to remake classics today.

Although Liu Bao Rui is known as the king of the monologue, he has in fact achieved great success with his counterparts and groups. The "Speaking of the Emperor" with Master Hou Baolin, "Dang Xing Theory" with Mr. Guo Baoquan, and "Looking for the Hall" with Mr. Ma Ji are all textbook heirloom works, leaving a lot of precious recording materials for future generations. The only pity is that Mr. Liu Baorui didn't leave any comic video materials, the only small section of the video, is in the movie "Dream of the Garden" cameo less than 30 seconds of the glimpse, so that the future generations have a taste of the master's style.

In the Cultural Revolution, Mr. Liu Baorui suffered inhuman persecution and torture, and finally died on October 6, 1968, at the age of 53 years. The reason for the death of Mr. Liu Baorui, a master of the generation, is still unclear, and it is called one of the major unanswered questions in the world of comedy. Today, Liu Baorui's grave only crown, the whereabouts of the bones are unknown.
