Ma Sanli is a famous cross-talk master in China, and his cross-talk has a very distinct Horse-style style, which has had a far-reaching influence until now. However, such an old artist with both virtue and art rarely appeared on the most recognized CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and in his lifetime, he only performed once on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in 1985, and since then, no matter how the director group invites, he has been rejected by Ma Sanli.
Many people say that it is because Jiang Kun called Ma Sanli, who is three generations older than himself, as "comrade" on this stage, and Ma Sanli did not like it because he never went to the Spring Festival Gala again. But as a generation of cross-talk masters, Ma Sanli's mind is definitely more than that. The reason why he did not appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala was because he felt that this stage was not suitable for cross-talk.
In Ma Sanli's cross-talk, the passages come from life
Ma Sanli's status in the hearts of the audience is not low, he has always been recognized by everyone as a typical representative of the cross-talk industry, whether it is artistic accomplishment or for people, it can be called a sentence of virtue and art. The cross-talk master Ma Ji praised him for having no ancients before him and no one after him. Ma Sanli's family is very different, his father is a famous local storyteller, his mother is good at Peking Opera, his brother is still a literary artist, and it is not surprising that Ma Sanli, who grew up in such an environment, chose to devote himself to the cross-talk industry.
In Ma Sanli's cross-talk, the passages all come from life, revolve around small people, very grounded, through the description of appearances, to achieve the purpose of irony, often won the applause of the audience. He observed and thought at the same time, and then polished each paragraph of the rich and colorful, the most close to life. This is also the reason why his cross-talk is loved by everyone. Ma Sanli's attitude towards cross-talk is serious, his passages have stood the test of time, and no matter when, he has never given up the strict pursuit of cross-talk art.
Ma Sanli
Regarding Ma Lao's refusal to refuse the Spring Festival Gala since then, many friends have always expressed their remorse to Jiang Kun, because Jiang Kun, as the host of that Spring Festival Gala, faced the appearance of Ma Lao, but called Comrade Ma Sanli! You must know that the cross-talk industry is very particular about seniority, and Jiang Kun's title is angry with Ma Lao. After taking the stage, Jiang Kun stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ma Lao, and Ma Lao did not pay any attention to it at all, causing Jiang Kun to be embarrassed, but all this was his own fault.
Some people also say that Ma Lao believes that the performance of cross-talk in this form is not suitable for the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. To know that cross-talk needs to interact with the audience under the stage, the Spring Festival Gala at that time was held in a large stadium, the crowd was noisy, and it was difficult to interact with the audience, which also led to Ma Lao's reluctance to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. At that time, cross-talk itself belonged to a niche field, and not too many people liked it, so Ma Lao was only willing to perform in the small theater from then on.
On the other hand, even if the later Spring Festival Gala returned to the CCTV studio, that stage was still somewhat empty for Ma Sanli's stand-up performance, and Ma Sanli was getting older and older, so he was less likely to invite him again. Not to mention that Ma Sanli's son Ma Zhiming, despite his profound skills, has never participated in the Spring Festival Gala performance, which is probably a tacit understanding of each other.
