This performance is full of jokes and baggage
Huang Xi's talk show Ningbo premiere, a laugh point for tens of seconds
Huang Xi was one of the first actors to perform a talk show in China. Before studying in the United States, he switched from a doctor of biochemistry to a talk show performance, became a Chinese comedian invited to perform at the White House, and then returned to China to perform. He witnessed the development of talk shows in China and is known as the "palace elder" of Chinese talk shows.
Huang Xi has many fans in Ningbo, there are many young people, and there are also middle-aged and elderly friends with gray hair, "I have seen his hosting of "Is it true?" on CCTV before. I like his acting style. An aunt said.
For the performance, titled "Huang Xi Has a Terrier Talk Show", Huang Xi prepared a lot of materials: "If you recognize the wrong person on the street, how to resolve the embarrassment?" If you react quickly, then ask him if he wants the mineral water bottle in his hand. "I was praised by my father since I was a child, and after an exam, my father said: 'HuangXi you really can!' That time I was counting down. Many interesting things from their own lives, under the sometimes serious and sometimes humorous interpretation of Huang Xi, form a great contrast, and the audience who has eaten through one terrier after another laughs forward and backward.
In this performance, Huang Xi dropped a paragraph and threw out a baggage in tens of seconds on average, and the audience applauded continuously.
Citizen Zhao Feng brought his wife and children to the scene together, and after watching the performance, he praised it one after another, "It's worth it!" Worthy of being the originator of domestic talk shows. "Zhao Feng usually prefers talk shows and has a special love for Huang Xi," he grabbed the tickets for this performance in August. ”
"This is the first time Huang Xi has come to Ningbo to do a talk show performance, and I didn't expect it to be so popular." Zhang Leijie, head of the Ningbo Concert Hall, said that all the tickets for the show had been sold out a week ago, "The Ningbo audience is still very recognizive of the format of the talk show." According to the person in charge, in order to repay the support and love of the Yongcheng audience, on January 15 next year, the concert hall will also invite Huang Xi to perform in Yongcheng.
After the performance, Huang Xi took a group photo with the Ningbo audience
Huang Xi: "Talk show is not a sprint, but a marathon"
Huang Xi is not tall, the lenses of myopic glasses are quite thick, and there is a slight cunning in his smile. Huang Xi, who is tricky and vicious on the stage, is more easy-going and quiet in front of the camera. Before the opening of the performance, Huang Xi accepted an exclusive interview with Ningbo media, "This is my first time in Ningbo, and my impression is particularly good. Huangxi, who grew up in the north, saw this coastal city for the first time and couldn't help but marvel: "Ningbo's development is really good, it's so beautiful." What he didn't guess was that Ningbo was also the origin of modern mahjong, and all this made him excited and fresh.
Huang Xi is a foodie. The day before the performance, he also specially punched a Yongbang specialty restaurant, "the dishes are particularly delicious." Huang Xi said that his Ningbo debut still hopes that the audience can like it.
In the program in Ningbo, Huang Xi talked about some things in life that make people feel anxious, "such as the Internet has brought convenience to people, but also brought anxiety." ”
To maintain a "smile on the stage", how to maintain your creative enthusiasm? Huang Xi laughed and said that before he became fat, he would spend an hour every day writing paragraphs. "After the weight goes up, I also have to take time out every day to exercise."
In response to the phenomenon of talk shows in China in recent years, Huang Xi said: "I have always believed that talk shows will definitely be popular in China. He believes that talk shows are very suitable for urban white-collar entertainment programs, "Talk shows are not based on a dialect, it can be said in any dialect and language, which is different from cross-talk and sketches."
In Huang Xi's view, a talk show is a marathon, not a sprint. What qualities should a good stand-up comedian have? Huang Xi believes that being good at observing life is the most important, "In addition to skills, the most important thing in the program is to walk the heart, the really good paragraphs come from life, find some insights in life, these contents are the most valuable, but also can resonate with everyone." ”
He concludes that as a stand-up comedian, you must talk about your own things, and you need a more personalized form of performance, "Your style must not be heavy with others." "When you see who is on fire, you subconsciously imitate others, which should be avoided." Finding a personal style is especially critical. ”
How far can a full-time Chinese stand-up comedian go? "Talk shows are hot right now, but they also have a certain cycle life cycle, and only those who stick to it can do the most in the end." Huang Xi encourages the younger generation, even in the downturn of talk shows, you will have the best chance to stick to it. This is the same as other industries, the saddest thing is that when the opportunity comes to you, you are not ready, "you must be more prepared in the usual time, when the opportunity comes, you can break out." 」 ”
