Crosstalk Lines in Ma Zhiming's Latin Movies

A: In the past, the audience called our business business. In fact, our business is not called making a living, but a skill. For example, when we came out backstage, the audience knew each other at first sight. This is called a dish.

Then what is business?

A: Gold, lots, lots and auctions.

What do you mean by gold trading?

A: Gold trading is face-to-face signing and divination. This is business. It's cheating money. You see, fortune tellers should be smart, and they won't calculate for others, but only for themselves. It won't work at all. It's purely business. There is also a foreign film, which is more powerful than fortune-telling business. On the other hand, there are many kinds of foreign films, some are commercial and some are not.

B: What kind of foreign movies are not commercial?

A: If you are a foreign film like Tianqiao Xiaojinya, it is not a business. Sometimes he doesn't pull foreign films, but sings about art. His foreign films are funny, with a good expression on his face and a good tone. I learn from you: (singing) "Look inside, another floor, above the Qing Dynasty, that's Daming."

Daming sat for the sixteenth emperor, so Emperor Chongzhen was not at peace. Three years of drought and three years of waterlogging, rice is as expensive as pearls, and the price has risen to the top. The rich sell mules and horses, and the poor sell children. The ordinary people of Lebanon were painted with charcoal, which produced a national hero. Hero, who is he? That's Chu Zhuangwang. His name is Li Zicheng. "

B: Oh! Is this one of those foreign films with small gold teeth?

Latin film history:

Latin films are also called the scenery of the West Lake. It was introduced to Beijing from Hebei in the late Qing Dynasty. The original form is: a venue about two feet in diameter, surrounded by walls made of cloth, with 20 to 30 spectators. There are paintings hanging in front of people. The picture is about 2.5 meters high and 3.3 meters wide, with landscapes and people of various countries painted on it. After the audience watched one, the actor put down the other with a rope. At the same time, point to the picture with a wooden stick to explain. Others beat gongs and drums to attract the audience.

After years of changes, its performance form is: a wooden box, divided into upper and lower floors, each with a height of about 0.8 meters and a length of about 1 meter. There are four or six round holes in front of the lower floor, and magnifying glasses are embedded in the holes. The box contains eight pictures with the theme of "Ten Scenes of West Lake" or historical and folk stories, and the actors pull them up and down with ropes instead.

There are three percussion instruments, gongs, drums and cymbals, which are pulled by ropes next to wooden boxes. After the actor sang a lyric, he was accompanied by percussion instruments. Since the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, large-scale performances have been seen in temple fairs such as Tianqiao, Huguo Temple, Baita Temple and Long Fu Temple, as well as Fengtai Town and Tongzhou in the suburbs of Beijing.
