In Beijing, there is a performing group with official background, which used to be very active, that is, Beijing Weekend Crosstalk Society. Founded in 2003, before Deyun Society became popular, the club caused a lot of repercussions among the audience in Beijing. Up to now, the community family has gone through more than ten years. Under the competition of many cross talk performance groups, it has lost its vitality in those years, and it looks fixed and stuffy from actors to programs.
The origin of Beijing Weekend Crosstalk Club is still very popular. There are two main reasons. On the one hand, it meets the needs of ordinary people to listen to cross talk on the spot. At that time, crosstalk was at a low ebb, which was almost invisible on TV and could not be found in life. For the audience, the opening of the weekend cross talk club meets their needs of watching cross talk at close range. In addition, the ticket price is very low, which belongs to Huimin performance and is easy for the audience to accept.
On the other hand, there were few crosstalk performers at that time. It is also an experience and opportunity for them to have such a stage performance, and they also feel that the audience needs them.
In the first few years of its establishment, the club really flourished for a while. As the president of the club, Li Jindou attracted many crosstalk performers from all over the country to perform with his good popularity and was warmly welcomed.
Things have changed since the rise of Deyun Society, or Deyun Society and many non-governmental organizations. The sudden popularity of Deyun Society has stirred up the cross talk market. Actors not only have the opportunity to perform, but also earn more money than in the past.
Some of the actors who participated in the weekend cross talk club performance, and many of them joined non-governmental organizations. For these people, performing in low-priced clubs can only get a symbolic performance fee, while the income in other groups will be higher than that in clubs. So these people are more and more inclined to perform in other venues.
Weekend crosstalk clubs insist on low prices, which of course meets the needs of ordinary people, but for actors, tickets are only 20 to 30 yuan all the year round, so there is no way to give them more motivation to ponder their works and performances, and they can only cope in many cases.
Two kinds of performances usually look at the program list of the club. Many times there are only a few old faces for a long time, and the works have been said back and forth for many years, which is definitely not satisfactory to the audience with certain pursuits. Therefore, for a long time, the performance of the club can only be low-priced and low-quality, which the audience will not cherish when they come in to enjoy the performance.
The audience who went to the club to watch the performance in the past two years will understand that the audience under the stage did not have that kind of heartfelt love for the actors, and sometimes they just watched quietly, which also made the actors very depressed. Mutual cause and effect.
In contrast, the performance of Deyun Society has gone to another opposite. Some well-known actors are sought after by young fans at the scene, and they can even talk with Kan Kan on stage and off stage. Of course, this is not a good way to appreciate the cross talk performance, but at least it shows that the audience is full of interest in the actor's performance.
The dilemma of crosstalk actually has some problems in both aspects.
The performance of Beijing Weekend Crosstalk Society is hard to attract people because of the lack of affirmation or appreciation from the audience, the lack of motivation and vitality of the actors, and the unchanging works. In the performance of Deyun Society, because the audience is too obsessed with the actors themselves rather than the works, the actors don't know what to do at the moment.
Yan Hexiang said in an interview that he wanted the audience to appreciate what he was most proud of, but this is obviously not the case at present. Being idolized is good for actors to be recognized by the market, but it is not good for their cross talk career.
