Use the ignorance, greed, lust or some defects of the characters to design plots and create gimmicks.

Two men were drunk and staggered home along the railway in the moonlight.

One of them said, "Strange, I have never seen our long stairs!" " "

The other said, "Who said no? I have never seen such a low handrail! "

Someone got drunk and took a taxi home. Soon, he fell asleep in the back seat.

When he arrived at the community where he lived, the driver woke him up: "Don't sleep, go down." The man complained, "This is my home and my bed. Why don't you let me sleep? " The driver said, "You take my car!" The man was startled: "Oh dear! I took off my shoes and went to the car door when I came up! "

And (SMS): Some people were drunk and hot, and they were stripped off while waiting for the bus on the roadside, and finally got into a taxi naked.

The driver glared at him, looked him up and down, and was furious: "You have never seen a naked man?" The driver replied, "I see where the fuck you lost your car!" " "

Their disadvantage is that they are delirious after being drunk and lose their ability to distinguish.

Such "shortcomings" are man-made, which may be caused by themselves or others.

People can, so can authors.

We should be good at creating conditions for the emergence of such gimmicks.

Another example: an old man from the countryside went to the city and got on a taxi. The driver helped him fasten his seat belt. The old man was furious: "What's wrong with looking down on the country people?" Still afraid that I have no money to give you, do you need to tie me up? "The old man then went to the hotel, and as soon as he got into the elevator, he shouted," How many pieces of 100 live in this house? "Without TV and air conditioning, how come there is no bed?"

This "shortcoming" is determined by his identity and experience.

Others use natural conditions or some kind of disability of characters to make gimmicks.

I have a comic character in Laughter in the Village, because when he was a child, he was deafened by the blasting rocks in the mountains and could not hear the thunder, so the young people in the village took this opportunity to entertain themselves.

Finally, there is a passage like this:

"... I leaned in with Director Tian.

Sure enough, several little boys were having fun around the old man.

Today, the old man is wearing a pair of brand-new round cotton shoes, which may fit him very well and be comfortable. He stretches his legs to show off.

One of the young men winked at his companion with malicious intent and deliberately pointed to the cloth shoes on his feet and asked, "Who did you sleep with last night?" The old man wanted to ask him who made these shoes, and his chest pricked up. A clear voice replied, "Who else? Daughter-in-law ...

Because this method is suspected of discriminating against disabled people, it must be used with caution.

7, stealing days:

Once upon a time, when we talked about collecting folk songs, we gave an example: Ji Xiaolan, a famous scholar in Qing Dynasty, was a master storyteller.

Once, he was upset, and a eunuch insisted that he tell a story.

Ji Xiaolan was very entangled, but he had to say, "Once upon a time, there was a eunuch." Just say this sentence, stop it.

The eunuch urged, "Go ahead!"

Ji Xiaolan said, "It's over."

"What about the eunuch below?"

Ji Xiaolan spread out his hands: "Eunuch' below' ... Hehe, nothing."

A scholar rode a horse for a spring outing in the suburbs and got lost because he was greedy for scenery.

It happened that an old farmer just walked in front of him.

He didn't even get off the horse, so he asked, "Hey! How to get into the city? "

The old man said rudely, "I am in a hurry to see a strange thing in Qiancun, and I have no time to answer you."

The scholar said impatiently, "Fuck, what's so strange about Qiancun?"

The old farmer said, "Is it strange that a mare gives birth to a calf?"

The scholar asked, "Strange, why don't you dismount?"

The old farmer replied grumpily, "Who knows why that beast didn't dismount!" " "

In the above two short stories, "Below" and "Dismount" appear twice, with the same sound and word.

However, this "next" is by no means his "next", and this "dismount" is not his "dismount".

We might as well call it "stealing the day", using the child's spear as a shield for attack, changing the concept and using rebuttal as a gimmick.

The traditional cross talk "Wrong Comments on the Three Kingdoms" also makes good use of this technique.

Different from the above two stories, the sounds and words are the same.

In the first half of this excellent art festival, there is a taste of digital games:

Do you know why the Three Kingdoms are called the Three Kingdoms? It is because of the "three".

From the beginning, Taoyuan became sworn in three times, and the British army gave way to Xuzhou in three wars, to the following three times: Gu Maolu, Zhou Yu, Qi Qi and Meng Huo. ...

B: Wait a minute, isn't that Meng Huo?

A: There must be three out of seven! What else is there? Three tours to Qishan and three tours to the Central Plains ...

B: Six out of Qishan and nine out of Zhongyuan!

Two plus three makes six, three plus three makes nine!

A: There are three eccentrics in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

One is famous without surname (The Story Of Diu Sim), the other is famous without surname (Joe) and the other is anonymous without surname (Du You) ... There are three small businessmen in the romance of The Three Kingdoms.

Liu Bei sells straw sandals, Guan Gong sells tofu and Zhao Yun sells rice cakes!

B: Zhao Yun sells rice cakes? Never heard of it.

A: Many people have heard of it! How is Beijing Opera sung? Zhuge Liang's old man's aria: "Up to now, all five tigers have been lost, leaving only Zhao Zilong's old (selling) high (cake)!"

After many years, I can't remember the exact words, something like this.

Let's take a well-known traditional story as an example: a county magistrate asked his servant to buy some bamboo poles to repair the house.

The director mistook it for "pig liver".

After buying pig liver in a braised pork shop, I left some copper coins, so I bought a pig ear and put it in my arms, intending to drink it quietly by myself.

After returning to the yamen, the county magistrate saw that he actually bought pig liver and nodded and scolded: "Do you still have ears?" The official was shocked and took it out of his arms: "There are ears, here they are!" " "

Someone applied to a tutor, and the two sides agreed to pay four strings of copper coins every year.

However, every time I teach a wrong word, I will deduct a string of copper coins.

It's a pity that this teacher just doesn't know how to study. One year, he used to treat "sugar-fried chestnuts" as "sugar-fried tickets", the monk's Hua Zhai as "Hua Qi", Wang Ersao as "Wang Ersao" and Su Dongpo as "Su Dongpo"! As a result, four strings of copper coins were deducted.

From these mistakes, the man wrote a poem saying:

Tickets are different from chestnuts. Monks should not go to the same place, one for Wang Ersao and the other for Su Dongpo.

8. Measure for measure:

Yanzi Chunqiu: "Yanzi will make Chu and the king of Chu listen to it, saying,' Yan Ying, a scholar of Qi Ci.

Today, I want to humiliate it, why ... "This is the premise for Yan Zi to outsmart the King of Chu.

The king of Chu was supposed to humiliate the messenger from Qi, but he asked for it.

First of all, the guards guarding the city let the short Yan Zi climb into the city from the dog hole according to the instructions of the King of Chu. Yan Zi said, "If I go to Dog Country on business, I will climb from here."

After the meeting, the king of Chu said, "It seems that there are no talents in Qi. How can a person like you be an ambassador? " Yan Zi said, "All talented people have been sent to big countries, but I, the least fortunate person, have been sent here."

The king of Chu let a man walk in front of the temple tied up and said that he was a thief of Qi.

Yan Zi said, "Oranges are born in Huainan and oranges are born in Huaibei.

Why is this happening? The difference between water and soil, is it the water and soil of Chu that makes people in Qi good at stealing? "

In the artistic techniques of stories, there are also tit-for-tat, such as revenge stories and large-scale tit-for-tat

If it is used as a gimmick, it is generally a question and answer, and the latter is always more exciting and powerful than the former.

Give a very simple example, such as:

Su Dongpo asked Fo Yin monk with a smile, "Where is the bald donkey?"

Fo Yin replied: "Dongpo eats grass."

9. By mistake:

This is a stunt caused by dislocation.

10 years ago, I published a set of humor in Legend, one of which was about the deputy director of the Cultural Bureau in charge of cultural relics in a county. Baise, who is nearly half a century old, is unwilling to retreat and always wants to play tricks on his daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law told her mother-in-law.

Mother-in-law sneaked into her daughter-in-law's room and put out the light.

After the filming, the director repeatedly called "cool!" Mother-in-law opened the quilt, turned on the electric light, pointed to his forehead and said, "You can't tell such an old thing apart, and you are still studying cultural relics!" "

You can also take Laughter in the Village as an example:

"The old man has a one-or two-year-old grandson named Little Iron Egg, who just walked and was not weaned.

In Maimangtian village, two women were specially selected, and the children in the village were taken care of in one place, and they were taken home at noon and sent after dinner.

Weng and his wife cut wheat for a long time. As soon as they entered Yun Xiu, they were busy cooking, and the old man went to bring back the little iron eggs.

Little guy is naughty and playful. He saw a rooster on the road, but he refused to walk and his feet did not move.

The old man had a brainwave, clapped his hands and urged:' Quick, quick, go home and eat milk! Compared with grandpa, see who runs fast and eat who runs fast ... "

This is vertical dislocation.

Confuse the relationship between up and down, before and after, young and old, and make jokes.

There is also horizontal dislocation, making a fuss about the juxtaposition relationship.

For example, this story has been published:

There is a blacksmith's shop in the east and a carpenter's shop in the west.

Every day, the "Tintin Party" here and the "Peng Peng Pa Pa" there make him dizzy.

One day, he said to two neighbors, when you move, I will treat you to a good meal.

Soon, two neighbors told him that they would move soon.

Someone was full of joy and invited them to a four-star hotel for a big meal.

Finally someone asked, "Where are you going to move?"

Answer: "I moved to his house and he moved to mine."

10, sneak in:

Repair the plank road in the morning, and it will be dark after Chen Cang.

Clearly belittle reality, clearly praise reality.

There is something in the words, and there is a sound outside the strings.

Please look at someone's speech at the office life meeting of a certain unit:

"Our director's achilles heel is backward ideas, and he doesn't pay much attention to the following rationalization suggestions.

I have long said that I would match him with a beautiful young female secretary, but he just refused to accept it. This will affect the overall work ... "

Public criticism is actually flattery, and even a fool can hear it.

For another example, there are two paragraphs in my short story "Ask for it":

Zhang Cheng first spoke: "The state has repeatedly asked us to actively protect wild animals.

I heard that every time you come forward to entertain guests, there are not only rabbits, grass foxes, but also civets on the table. What happened? "

Liu cocked his mouth and was stupefied. When he didn't know how to answer, Wang Yanjing, the headmaster of the primary school, stopped: "I don't agree with this."

Hearing is empty, seeing is believing. Whose banquets have we eaten? Have you been drinking? So you don't have to believe it.

In fact, our director Liu is just a model to protect wild animals.

As we all know, his German shepherd was not allowed to keep a dog in the city last year to scare him away into the wild. Dogs without owners are 100% wild animals! The director adopted it lovingly.

Moreover, every time a person is treated to a full meal with public funds, the director always forgets to bring some back to him. German shepherd hasn't eaten anything, whole chicken, whole fish, ham? Also, the last time that boy from Dongzhuang passed by the director's door, the German shepherd just bit his leg, and he opened his mouth and scolded. The director just punched and kicked! Isn't this the greatest love for wild animals? "

Others criticized the director for not caring about the sufferings of the masses.

Before the words were finished, Wang Glasses stopped her: "Director Liu is most concerned about the warmth and coldness of the people! One day in spring, several villages in Shangener were watching an evening performance on the primary school playground, and a gust of wind was singing. The female director of the neighboring village just said it was a little cold, so our director immediately held her tightly in her arms! The most telling thing is that there was a heavy snow last winter. I saw with my own eyes that several times, our director knocked on the door of Cui Hua, a little widow in the west of the village, in the middle of the night. What is this for? "

The king of glasses suddenly closed his mouth. It turns out that Liu's crooked mouth has fainted.

Instinct and abuse are common in daily life, so it has become a favorite way for many authors.

Let's not talk about methods for the time being.

In fact, laughter and humor are everywhere in life, which is far from being summarized by 10 type.

As long as you are careful at ordinary times, you will find and summarize many tips.

Next, change the topic and talk about how to strengthen your humorous cells.

One is to learn from tradition; The other is to hone and challenge tradition.

Let's start with reading.

Read selectively when reading.

For example, Yan Ying's story, Gongye Chang's legend, and other famous humorous figures in history, funny people's biography, legends and other related documents.

In addition, I suggest you read more traditional Quyi works, especially cross talk.

Laughter is the life of this language art which emphasizes speaking, learning, teasing and singing.

It's best to find the original works left by artists of all ages, such as Guan Gong's beating Qin Qiong, misjudging the Three Kingdoms, borrowing fire, selling cloth, eating jiaozi, reading eulogy, peeling off a mandarin jacket and two acres of land, and so on, and read them carefully.

The other is to read more comics.

Many cartoons are humorous stories in themselves, which vividly reflect the high concentration of humor in life.

For example, the title of a cartoon is "Advertising for Rats-People eat cat meat for many benefits". Although we have never seen this painting, we can have a rich association with these words and know its artistic effect.

When I was young, I liked Braun's series "Father and Son", Zhang Leping's "San Mao Wandering" and "San Mao's Student's Intention", and other works such as Hua, Fang Cheng, Zhang, Bi Ke's View and so on.

On the topic of humor, cartoonist Fang Cheng also wrote a special exposition, which was serialized in Quyi magazine, showing his profound attainments.

Another is to read more jokes.

As an author, don't reject "yellow jokes".

The day before yesterday, Mr. Feng asked me to tell you about' dirty jokes' here. I am too timid to expect anything.

However, we should have an objective and fair evaluation of "yellow jokes".

The so-called yellow refers to the explicit description of sexual consciousness, sexual behavior and sexual feelings.

In the collection and arrangement of folk literature, this part is regarded as a reference book.

What we learn from it is its superb artistic techniques and strong popularity.

A large part of the traditional "yellow jokes" satirize and crack down on those rich and heartless corrupt officials and social garbage.

Through the "non-exclusion" here, I hope everyone can "turn decay into magic" on the basis of serious study, promote its essence, discard its dross and use it for me.

Secondly, talk about why we should "hone and challenge tradition".

We know that a humorous person is often an extroverted, open-minded and generous person, who loves life, is willing to make friends and is talkative.

A few years ago, in a division of labor in the editorial department, a female editor volunteered to make a joke.

I said, you are not suitable for this job.

The key is that she is honest, usually quiet and lacks humorous cells.

Later, her manuscripts submitted for review were often rejected by the editor-in-chief because they could not laugh.

Therefore, if you don't have the qualities mentioned above and want to strengthen your humorous cells, you must dare to challenge your "traditional character".

We should see that life is so beautiful and the people around us are so lovely. We should integrate ourselves into it, make friends, talk and laugh, sharpen our character, hone our mouth and activate our humorous cells while giving others laughter.

From the fashion point of view, humor is also a symbol of a man's charm.

At present, the reason why many girls break up with their boyfriends is not because "he lacks humorous cells" and is "boring" with him? If you could tell her some humorous stories and send her some "spinach in autumn" during a tryst two months ago, it would be strange for the girl not to bow in your arms, beat her chest with her little fist and shout "You are so bad, you are so bad" over and over again.

Finally, I think there are a few points to explain: First of all, when inserting and using gimmicks, we must pay attention to their ideological nature, requiring elegant taste and healthy style.

Avoid vulgarity and indecency.

The ancients said, never "move without morality."

German philosopher Hegel said: "The most vulgar and boring things will make people laugh, and the most important and profound things will also make people laugh." We pursue the latter rather than the former, hoping that our readers will enjoy themselves and get healthy and beneficial enlightenment and spiritual sublimation.

Secondly, the use of gimmicks is natural, quiet and can't be forced at all.

Before, I have never seen those masters begging piteously on the stage: "Let's have some applause." Nowadays, some low-energy crosstalk performers can't wait to put the audience on the ground and scratch their armpits if the effect is not good.

Moreover, gimmicks can't be abused or piled up, and they have the feeling of showing off and oiling.

If it's tepid, it's just right, and distinguish between the subject and the object.

Just like cooking, it's just seasoning, not the dish itself.

You can't make it without seasoning. If you put too much seasoning, it will be counterproductive and the food will taste bad.
