First of all, Shanghai's burlesque lacks good writers and works. The comedy atmosphere in Shanghai is not very good. Failure to cultivate or support competent and talented authors to write good works. Even if there are good works, it fails to provide a good display platform. When did this happen? The ratings of the Shanghai farce "Old Uncle" were once close to the Spring Festival Evening. However, due to poor management, guidance and care, it was interrupted after more than ten years of broadcasting. The comprehensive reasons of this situation need to be considered. I remember a young man in his early twenties named Chen Sen, who wrote nearly 30 episodes, some of which reached the highest ratings. This new power of funny screenwriter failed to protect it.
Secondly, the distribution of benefits is uneven. Good works are hard to find, but the manuscript fee is low, and most of them are given to actors. Without good works, actors have nothing. The vicious circle has made it normal for Shanghai to stop farce.
Thirdly, professional comedians give up their main business for money and rely on funny influence to switch to other variety shows. For example, Shu Yue is talking about a nondescript mountain lake. Some appear in food health projects. Do nothing but fight for money. In fact, they can appear on these programs, which shows that Shanghai Funny has influence and status in the hearts of Shanghainese. Dig when you have a foundation.
Finally, it is not unrelated that the relevant departments in Shanghai are foreigners. Foreign leaders dominate the work in Shanghai, but they don't understand the status, complex and function of Shanghai burlesque in the hearts of Shanghainese, which also hinders the development of burlesque in Shanghai. Of course, it is necessary for Shanghai's antics to be constantly improved to be more in line with the development of the situation. We believe that Shanghainese still like Shanghai burlesque. This is also a part of Shanghai culture.
Now there are some comedians who like burlesque. They all work in TV stations, headed by Wang Rugang. They either advertise or play dumb on the screen. 13 is absolutely disgusting. If this continues, the play will be destroyed by these people.
In Shanghai, if you never see "Shanghai Funny" again, it will be really funny!
I won't put any pictures in this reply, just want to share my views and feelings with you in the simplest language and ideas.
Although I am in my early thirties, I like Shanghai burlesque and Shanghai traditional folk art very much.
From the earliest burlesque films Wen Binbin and Fan Haha to the comedian Yao Mushuang Zhou Baichun, to the double-role performing artist, and then to the later sitcoms Old Uncle and Tea House. As long as it is shown on TV, I will definitely watch it again. Many jokes have long been in my blood, and many friends around me say that my accent is a bit like Zhou Baichun's. I really don't deserve it.
I don't know when, but there are fewer and fewer people around who can talk about farce. I didn't even know there was such an artistic expression in Shanghai. The Shanghai Funny Troupe exists in name only, and the actors in it are at most relatively standard TV salesmen and wedding ceremonies who speak Shanghai dialect, doing nothing.
On the other hand, although Shanghai is an international metropolis with all rivers flowing into it, the post-90s and post-00s people can hardly speak Shanghainese. The traditional culture of Shanghai and the roots of Shanghainese dialect are in jeopardy, so we should be highly vigilant.
Although there are many big V's on various platforms trying to save Shanghai culture, the effect is very little, and more is to cater to foreign culture. Shanghai dialect and Shanghai culture are slowly disappearing.
Although I'm just an ordinary Shanghainese, and I don't have many fans in the headlines, I hope I can try my best to show Shanghai's most traditional culture in the purest form in Weibo. I hope that the new Shanghainese, or the 3 10 people who can't speak Shanghainese, will put aside their irritability and open a traditional Shanghai farce to feel the charm of Shanghainese and farce.
At the same time, I have been writing related articles in this headline, hoping to try my best to save Shanghai traditional art in Weibo.

Finally, if you can't see "Shanghai Funny" any more, it will be really funny!
I wonder what funny people are doing now. Recently, they are all keen on advertising, especially those who are short and big. They used to visit Gashan Lake, but now they adjust the screen as soon as they appear. It's really disgusting. Cordyceps sinensis, a whore, mahogany furniture, jade, hairy medicinal liquor. This product is only a pinch of licorice in Chinese medicine. Is Shanghai still funny?
Humorous dramas and Shanghai dramas are the symbolic art forms of Shanghai local culture, just like Suzhou Pingtan, Suzhou Pinghua and Kunshan Kunqu Opera, which are indispensable spiritual imprints of a city. They are as impossible and should not be extinct as Shanghai dialect. Whether it can go out of Shanghai and go to the whole country is not whether the people of the whole country can accept it, but whether the people of Shanghai can keep it and whether the young people in Shanghai can like it. At the same time, it is closely related to whether burlesque and Shanghai opera can reform and innovate in stage performance form, excellent script, content closely related to the times, wonderful acting skills of actors, inject new ideas into the times and win audiences. This requires a group of young actors with higher education to stir up the beam, not be bound by tradition, take its essence and discard its dross, be slippery but not oily, and not go back on one's word, and absorb some performance essence and expression forms of northern sketch comedy. Enhance the cultural level of burlesque, a southern comedy, and the deductive connotation of Shanghai opera, and form two local opera brands: burlesque pays attention to the joys and sorrows of public opinion and Shanghai opera pays attention to the mainstream value of urban development!
Humorous dramas and Shanghai operas must also give up the one-way channel of mentoring relationship. Shanghai Theatre Academy should shoulder this responsibility, set up Shanghai Opera and Humorous Drama majors, or set up a special "Shanghai Local Opera School" to train groups of outstanding Shanghai Opera writers and actors. Only in this way can this flower of local opera in Shanghai last forever.
At present, some comedians in Shanghai advertise outside, which has a bad influence and makes a group of old people fall for it.
The farce in Shanghai collapsed, and the actors went to the TV station to join in the fun, all for money! No creation, no research, no progress, that's all. Wang Rugang and Shu Yue sell Cordyceps and shoes! Nothing to do! The culprit! Wang Rugang will only laugh at Li Jiusong, but Shu Yuepu will not let go of this name! Stop it, you are too lazy to talk! There is nothing funny in the hearts of burlesque actors. They are mistaken for that kind of drama, and the audience and themselves, the relevant departments let it die. Sinful!
Funny is a kind of drama that Shanghai people like. The funny artists of the older generation gave us joy. Nowadays, comedians have switched to TV stations to engage in "seven thoughts and three thoughts". It is really unfair. At this rate, Shanghai's antics will be ruined by these people. Be worthy of those teachers. Wow. I hope that Shanghai's funny performances can be passed down and don't pursue interests unilaterally. If this situation continues, TV stations will only recruit actors from the funny world, in addition to the host of news broadcast programs.
Now other operas in Shanghai are constantly introducing new operas, such as Shanghai Opera and Yue Opera, which are still passed down as Shanghai's cultural heritage. Only the Shanghai farce, the actors of Shanghai TV station are idle, and there are advertisements to promote Cordyceps sinensis or jade and so on. Some sell old shoes in TV stations. At this rate, Shanghai farce will be bad for this generation of actors.
Nowadays, burlesque actors all work in TV stations, advertising and being guests. The farce is not funny, and the monologue is rambling. Do you think this is interesting? Miss the wonderful times of Yao Mushuang, Zhou Baichun, Yuan Yiling, Xiao Mimi, Wu Meimei, Xia Ping, Yang Huasheng, Zhang Qiaonong, Xiao Xiao, Qingyang, Nenniang, Fan Haha, Wen Binbin, Wu Shuangyi, Shuangjie Weng, Wang Shuangqing, Tong Shuangchun, Wang Shuangbai, Li Qing, Wang Huiquan, Tan Yicun and Gong Yifei!
