1979 Golden Age

"Mutton Kebab" tells the story of self-employed people and inspection and law enforcement.

Chen Qi is sure that there will be no problem in this time period, because Gong Xue plays a self-employed person in "Under the Bridge", and elements such as "business license, market inspection" also appear in it.

"Under the Bridge" was created by the director after conducting field investigations in Shanghai.

He is a very conscientious copywriter. He did not produce "Pepper Noodles", "Protagonist and Supporting Actor", and "Police and Thief", but left it to Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao.

The two knew that Mr. Chen's creative ability was outstanding, and they said happily: "To be honest, we were worried about this. "Making a Movie" has been arranged for Director Huang, and it would not be good to bring it over again. Since you have the script, That's the best."

"You are all mature actors. Take it back to think about it and incorporate your own style into it. I won't care about you. Let's play "Making Movies" first, and mainly make "Mutton Skewers."

"Don't worry!" "I can't let you down!"

"Then you go back first and rehearse in the small auditorium next week!" The two left first.

Chen Qi assigned tasks to everyone and did what they could do first. Gong Xue continues to stay. She also has the task of being a host, announcing the curtains and stringing together the shows, so she has to be familiar with them.

Around noon, there were sounds of footsteps outside, the door creaked open, and an older voice said, "Is Comrade Chen Qi here?"

"I am!"

"Oh, it's great to meet you! My name is Zhao Lirong. I was invited to perform in a sketch at the Spring Festival Gala?"

The old lady was wearing a cotton-padded jacket that was not old, and a big turban on her head. As she spoke, she took off her turban, revealing a very familiar face. If anything, she was only over 50 years old now, and her hair was still there. It's quite dark.

"It's snowing heavily, are you okay on the road?"

"Okay! You said you would send a car to pick me up. I can just take the bus myself." "You are an old man, so you should drink some hot water."

Gong Xue poured a glass of water and handed it to her. Zhao Lirong had just sat down and stood up again: "I have a strong body. You said such a big car can fit a good person, so it would be a waste to beat me up. I am I don’t feel at ease.”

She is a famous Pingju opera actress. She has been singing on stage since the old society. She has never played a leading role and is known for her supporting roles. In terms of fame and dissemination of her works, she cannot compare with the two in front of her.

"Have a seat, man, there's no one around right now, why are you being tortured?" Chen Qile said.

"You said you still want to learn how to speak like me. I can't change my accent. I talk like this even when I'm sleeping."

"No need to change, just the Tangshan flavor."

Chen Qi was happy when he saw the old lady and chatted for a long time. Gong Xue looked puzzled. Why was he so enthusiastic about the old lady when he just wanted to find his sister?

"Let's talk about the sketch. This show is called "A Day in the Life of a Heroic Mother"..." After enough chatting, he got down to business. He explained it over and over again and asked, "What do you think?"

"good!"

Zhao Lirong praised it without hesitation and said, "Thank you very much for asking me to come. I am willing to act!"

"Okay, your partner's name is Niu Qun, from the comrades art troupe. He can only come in the afternoon."

Originally "A Day in the Life of a Heroic Mother" was played by Zhao Lirong and Hou Yaowen. Chen Qi invited Hou Yaowen, but he didn't agree. The sketch only appeared on TV last year. Who knew about sketches before? They all listen to cross talk. These days cross talk and sketches are very separate, unlike later when they were both confused. Moreover, Hou Yaowen is on the rise in his career. Everyone knows that he is Hou Baolin's son. He urgently needs to prove himself in the cross talk world and cannot abandon cross talk to act in sketches.

Niu Qun agreed to come for the simple reason that he was not famous yet.

"There is a guest house nearby, and the rooms are ready and ready to stay at any time. We are very pressed for time. We will have the first rehearsal next week. Do you have any difficulties?"

"No, I promise to complete the mission!"

Zhao Lirong straightened her back and almost saluted.

"Well, there is still a short section that you need to practice. In it, you will sing a Cantonese song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall". Do you know "The Great Hero Fearless"?"

"I know, my little grandson likes it. The one he fights is called Mizong Fist, right?" "Yes, that's the one!"

"I have never spoken Cantonese, but since the organization has told me, I will definitely learn it well!"

"You only need to learn two lines of the song, but you don't have to learn the whole song. After your show, the real singer will perform on the stage, which is a baggage buried in the sketch."

After chatting, Zhao Lirong wanted to go home first and pick her up and drop her off as usual. Fortunately, there are few people here, so two vans are enough.

Gong Xue stayed with him all the time, helping him if he could, and pouring water and cooking for him if he couldn't.

This room became a temporary command department, with no outside personnel, all Chen Qi's people. Under his overall planning and dispatch, he works with maximum efficiency. Everyone has confidence in him.

It’s time to get off work in the blink of an eye.

Liang Zuo spent a day fishing in the Ministry of Education and came over excitedly.

He met Chen Qi by chance a few months ago and started creating when he returned home, several years earlier than in history.

Originally, in 1986, Jiang Kun had no new ideas, so he went to see Liang Zuo's mother, Chen Rong, and wanted to learn from her. As a result, Liang Zuo took out a short story "The Survival of the Tiger's Mouth". Jiang Kun realized that it was a wonderful cross talk, so he asked for it and processed it into "The Reverie of the Tiger's Mouth".

Now, Liang Zuo is more immature and far from mature. He wrote a story: There is a young man who took over his parents' job in a state-owned enterprise. He is lazy and has no ambition. When someone introduces him to a girl, he pretends to be rich and makes a lot of jokes. He also implicitly satirizes the disadvantages of the big pot meal, and his words are quite spicy.

In Chen Qi's eyes, it is well written, mainly because it can be turned into a good skit.

"Your highlights are all on the male character. Most of the jokes revolve around him. The female character has no memorable points. If she is put on the stage, it will be one-sided and the female character will become a vase."

He gave Liang Zuo instructions without blushing, and Liang Zuo nodded frequently, looking like he was humbly learning.

"The woman adds burdens, and then adds a middleman to mediate. The triangle is the most stable stage state and is easier to write. In addition, the background of the young people in state-owned enterprises is a bit sensitive. You satirize the big pot meal and the rigid and bloated system. I don't know about the future, but it is definitely not good at this stage.

Remove the unit background, just a lazy man, the name is "Lazy Man Blind Date"!"

"Okay, change it as you say!" Liang Zuo thought it made sense.

When doing the Spring Festival Gala, we must consider the factors of the times. The scale was large in the 1980s and 1990s, but it has not been relaxed yet. It can satirize social phenomena now, but don't satirize the system and leaders, like Ma Ji's "Cosmic Brand Cigarettes", which only satirizes illegal businesses.

But it will be okay in a few years. The scale is so large that it can scare people to death, and even Tiananmen Square can be used as a burden.

Similarly, Fei Xiang can sing "Clouds of Hometown" and "365 Miles", but not "A Fire in Winter".

This year, the crackdown has just started, and people were arrested for dancing ballroom dances. How can he dance a fire on the Spring Festival Gala and do that kind of coquettish hip twisting action? Those who came from the United Front Work Department are not good enough! He was able to dance in 1987 because dancing had been lifted and the trend was gradually opening up.

Fei Xiang will not only be on this Spring Festival Gala, it is not too late to dance later..

So far, the number of language programs has increased to three: "Mutton Kebabs", "A Day of a Heroic Mother", and "Lazy Man's Blind Date".

"Lazy Man's Blind Date" was naturally chosen to be performed by Song Dandan.

So, Chen Qi has gathered Chen Peisi, Zhao Lirong, and Song Dandan. He even considered Uncle Benshan, so that three generations of sketch kings can gather together. But Uncle Benshan is only in his 20s, too young, so he will use him later.
