Fang Zhanrong's Humorous Personality

China people's sense of humor is as old as that of the Chinese nation. The fables and folk jokes of ancient philosophers in China, organic and agile allegory and ridicule, witty and witty ridicule and ridicule, combined with profound philosophy, vividly show the people's intelligence and whimsy, and become evidence of the national sense of humor. Even in other art forms or folk entertainment, such as clowns in operas. Fang Zhanrong studied under Li Youcun and Cai Jinkun, and through his own efforts, he finally became a famous and ugly Chaozhou opera. He plays Hu Lian, Hu Zhifu, Hu Tu, Li Laosan and the monk in the air, etc., and can still find various expressions of national humor. Blending forms an ugly sense of humor in Chaoshan customs.

Trilogy of humor

Humor consists of three parts, namely the humor trilogy:

[Making Suspense] Fang Zhanrong inherited the characteristics of ugliness, and used the plot to create suspense as soon as it was released. Humorous eyebrows, funny gestures and revealing personality seem to inspire people to think: "Do you know what I want to do? Look, I have a story to tell you that will make you laugh. "

Clowns often throw the suspense of "I want to know what will happen next" to the audience, and then play hard to get, so that the audience is in the mood of "please listen to the next story" and then "get into the play".

[Key Rendering] Suspense gives you the interest and requirements to get to the bottom of the matter and pursue the results. The focus of the clown's rendering is intended to make you unable to see through the suspense at once, deliberately put you in a "five-mile cloud", let you calmly watch him play incisively and vividly, and show his acting skills in a confusing way. Li Laosan's performance of "Scaring Ghosts" is incisively and vividly. Hu Lian's fan is confusing, the monk's prayer beads are spinning in mid-air, the official Hutu is handling the case, and Hu Zhifu's "official Kongming" organ is exhausted ... These colorful renderings make the sense of humor swell like a ball, and the longer it is, the higher it is, and it will burst into laughter when it is ready to ring.

Tide ugly performance, paragraphs piled up, gimmicks turned out. This is possible because we fully understand what makes people laugh, but also because we have mastered the ability to express these things: humorous performance.

[Reverse mutation] The confusing rendering makes it difficult for you to draw a conclusion, and the suspense is unsolved, but the ending of "reverse mutation" is completely unexpected. The ending of Cai Li's "Cry Ghost" suddenly changed to "Pity Ghost"; Having a hard time with Chai, I originally wanted to expose his sister's scandal, but I turned around and exposed my own scandal. The monk's half-empty monk, in a hurry, took part in a world of mortals love affair; Hu, the leader of the Hutu nationality, handled the case, and there was a clear and fair judgment in reversing the case ... Fang Zhanrong learned from the efforts of Master Li Youcun and Cai Jinkun, handled the reversal mutation, and followed suit when he matured. Opera leads the characters, and the characters lead the audience's mind. The performance track affects the audience's psychological changes and emotional imagination, and the result is unexpected.

Humor

A, witty behavior: this is a performance that constitutes a humorous atmosphere and has a good sense of humor. Hu's humorous explanation of "some ink on his face, some white belly, reading like a ghost on a knife, drinking like a car pouring water into the field" and his funny behavior of taking a shirt and taking small steps are all externalization of humor. Coupled with all kinds of fan performances on the actors' hands, they can spin, slide, twist and throw, and the fan is flamboyant, and the soaring fan is carried away. Fang Zhanrong created something under his guidance and showed a naughty image.

B. Comic and humorous grow together: Chao Chou is good at refining and creating humorous performances from the events of the characters in the play. For example, Li Laosan's "Scared Ghost" is one of Fang Zhanrong's creations. At the same time, he inherited Li Youcun's actions such as scratching his back from the table, rolling under the bed, drilling strange chairs across the chairs, squatting on the ladder on the slide and so on. Humor breeds humor, which makes it explode and laugh.

C. Rhetoric and figurative exaggeration: a series of ugly one-liners, with soothing quips, tasteful puns and ironies, and moving figurative exaggeration. These linguistic features have been put to good use in Fang Zhanrong's performances. The secret of these languages is to say yes or no (Historical Records, Funny Biography)

Humor, taste and color

Fang Zhanrong's monk and Du Bo in Peach Blossom Garden are interesting, philosophical, intelligent, sweet and warm.

His "Li Laosan" is kind and naive in sense of humor, with a hint of bitterness and a touch of melancholy in color.

He performed Hu Lian's humor, which caused critical laughter and spicy taste. This is a kind of black humor, which is a special product of abnormal and morbid society.

Fang Zhanrong's sense of humor comes not only from the object: the plot and characters in the play, but also from the subject: the creative personality of the actors. If Zhao Shuli's humor is "like an egg" and Qian Zhongshu's humor is "like a scholar", then judging from Fang Zhanrong's performance system, he should be "like a market".
