Think of the Shanghai farce that was once crowded with people. What is the development status now?

Humor-/kloc-At the end of 0/9, the seller of Shanghai Chenghuangmiao pear paste candy made it by himself, and made the current social news into novels to attract customers, which was called "small fever". Later, some people sang in the street without selling sugar, and later developed into a one-man show, singing while talking. In the 1920s, Jiang Xiaoxiao and Bao Lele edited Braised Tofu Shop and so on. This is specially sung in the hall and then broadcast on the radio. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, one-legged artists formed a troupe and performed in a small theater, including "Little Shandong to Shanghai". After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the comic troupe developed again, singing and speaking in local dialects, and became a kind of drama with a wide audience, including Sanmao's student feelings, 72 tenants, satisfaction and dissatisfaction.

1958, the large-scale farce "Seventy-two Tenants" adapted from a one-man show premiered. Wang Rugang introduced that it was really empty at that time, and the tickets for half a month were sold out at once. 1978, 72 tenants returned to the stage after suffering, and the Shanghai audience ushered in a long-lost laugh. However, Wang Rugang revealed the sadness behind it: "The audience may not know that' Old Funny' has lost its head because it has not been on stage for more than ten years."

"Qingyang, who plays the second landlord in the play, is such a good farce actor. However, after she stepped down, tears were dripping. " Wang Rugang recalled that Lv Yang had not appeared on the stage for a long time, and even forgot to walk in the play. Because there is no door behind the prop wall, Qingyang has no choice but to climb over the wall.

The play aroused the sense of group crisis of the old actors. They helped each other find a long-lost stage feeling. "Because it is not one person's responsibility to inherit the farce."

Nowadays, burlesque is once again facing a crisis of inheritance: because Shanghai children can't speak very good Shanghai dialect. Wang Rugang believes that burlesque is a performing art based on Shanghai dialect, supplemented by dialects in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces: "If the audience has no feelings for Shanghai dialect, how can they love burlesque?"

In addition, the "no successor" of the actors also worries Wang Rugang: the young "rookie" in the Shanghai People's Funny Troupe is about 30 years old, and it is increasingly difficult to find "little funny" to inherit the funny art. Wang Rugang said that it is urgent to inherit the farce, and the whole society must shoulder this responsibility.
