Roles a and b in cross talk

Traditional cross talk is divided into two roles: comedian and comedian, namely A and B.

(of crosstalk performers) tell jokes.

Actors who mainly tell stories when performing cross talk or cross talk are usually called "A" now. In cross talk, jokes and jokes cooperate with each other. Through the foil and foreshadowing of jokes, narrative gradually forms a burden and produces jokes. Group crosstalk with "mud seam" is basically the same as "bang"

(of a supporting role in cross talk) using words or expressions to help the protagonist make the audience laugh.

Actors who tell stories with humor in cross talk performances are now usually called "B".

Different income sharing

The income of a bunch of flowers is definitely different from that of a tease. There is an old saying that "three points tease, seven points hold". In fact, this is a compliment, otherwise people will not give you a good card. The reality is that comedians earn more than comedians. Now that I am enlightened, it doesn't matter, and comedians don't care much. However, in the past, some famous masters said that a comedian could get 82 or even 9 1. They say that a crosstalk performer earns 100 yuan, a crosstalk performer gets 90 yuan, and a crosstalk performer can only get 10 yuan, but crosstalk performers are also willing. If you give it to others, it may be five yuan.

There is also an old saying called "birth and death". For example, Hou scored three points for his performance, one point for the less famous one and half point for the less famous one. After the performance, add up everyone's scores and divide them by the box office. For example, each score is 65,438+000 yuan, and then take 300 yuan.

Different performance forms

A heavy head

"Head down" is a form of expression in cross talk. This form is performed by two actors. An actor "teases" and an actor "laughs". The names "Doukuang" and "Bangkuang" are inherited from the "Quantang octagonal drum" in Qing Dynasty, commonly known as A and B, where A is "teasing" and B is "holding". Because the two actors play different roles, their tasks, that is, their lines, are uneven. One is the main narrator, usually called "tease", and the other is the assistant of dialogue. The assistant of this conversation is called "bang".

Expression method

In the form of "one head sinking", the method of expressing things is basically narrative. In A Head Sinks, the dialogue between the two actors is mostly in the form of "chatting". Cuochuo is the main narrator, telling Cuochuo what he has experienced or is familiar with. In fact, two people perform together for the audience. When telling a story, the narrator, like an actor who performs stand-up crosstalk, narrates and imitates the performance, alternating in and out. People call it "the way it is said." The "funny" performance in "A Head Sinks" is developed from stand-up crosstalk performance and has the same characteristics. The difference between "One Throw God" and "Stand-up Crosstalk" is that stand-up crosstalk tells the story to the audience through the narrator, while "One Throw God" tells the story or problem to the audience. In fact, it is also for the audience. Therefore, comedians become critics who help comedians tell stories.
