It has been almost 20 years since Xiangsheng Taidou Ma Sanli left us. Many young viewers may not know that in fact, Ma Sanli also participated in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, that is, the 1985 Spring Festival Gala.
However, as one of the most respected cross-talk seniors at that time, why did Ma Sanli only participate in the Spring Festival Gala once, and then never joined? Over the years, there have also been many statements on the Internet. One of the most widely circulated claims is that it is because of a sentence by the host Jiang Kun.
At that time, when introducing Ma Sanli to appear, Jiang Kun did not call Ma Sanli Shizu according to the generations, but directly called Comrade Ma Sanli, and also said that Ma Sanli refused to shake hands with Jiang Kun on the stage.
On closer analysis, this argument is untenable. So, why did Ma Sanli only participate in the Spring Festival Gala once?
01
Let's first restore the scene of the 1985 Spring Festival Gala.
Jiang Kun, one of the hosts, came to the stage to introduce that next, please enjoy a few cross-talks, and the first to perform for us is Comrade Ma Sanli, a respected elder.
At this time, Ma Sanli began to walk to the stage with the support of the staff, and the audience also began to applaud, but due to the cold of the venue and the poor reception effect, the applause was not warm at all. At this time, Jiang Kun took the lead in applauding and introduced that Comrade Ma Sanli is 72 years old this year and has trained a batch of successors for our cross-talk community.
After Ma Sanli stepped onto the stage, Jiang Kun took the initiative to shake hands with him, but Ma Sanli did not extend his hand. Subsequently, Jiang Kun also shook a burden on the spot. After that, Ma Sanli stood there and began to perform stand-up comedy.
02
So, is there any problem with Jiang Kun's expression that day? I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
If it was in a private occasion, or an occasion when cross-talk peers gathered, Jiang Kun would definitely call Ma Sanli according to the generation. Ma Sanli is a Shouzi actor, and Jiang Kun's master Hou Baolin is only a Baozi generation, so Jiang Kun should call Ma Sanli Laozu'er.
However, the Spring Festival Gala is not the occasion to call Lao Zu'er, in the mid-eighties there was no problem in calling Comrade Ma Sanli, and Ma Sanli would not complain about Jiang Kun because of this. As for why he didn't shake hands with Jiang Kun, this should be part of Ma Sanli's performance, and it has nothing to do with him complaining about Jiang Kun.

The problem, however, was that Ma Sanli's performance that day was not a good experience for both himself and the audience. The evening party of the day was held at the Beijing Workers' Stadium, and the huge venue not only had poor reception effects, but also because the room temperature was too low, the audience was not even willing to extend their hands, so the applause was too lazy to drum, and the atmosphere was not warm at all.
For Ma Sanli, he is used to performing in a relatively small theater in Tianjin, plus his own stand-up performance has always been slow and rational, the tone is very low, facing the audience seats with distant seats, although he deliberately changed some of the performance methods, but there is still a long distance from the usual performance effect.
And because of the general atmosphere of the scene, Ma Sanli's first performance was not well received, and under the repeated invitations of Ma Ji, who was a disciple, he returned to the scene twice, and a person in a single shadow only said three cross-talks in the worker's body. The audience could not hear what he said clearly, and the more than 20 minutes of performances made the audience see the clouds in the clouds.
The performance presents such a state, I believe Ma Sanli also knows this, his stand-up comedy performance is not suitable for the big stage performance, so even if the Spring Festival Gala crew invites again, he will no longer participate. As for Jiang Kun's words offending Ma Sanli, this is really nonsense.

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. In those days, not all cross-talk actors were suitable for the Spring Festival Gala, and now almost all cross-talk actors are not suitable. Only Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue were still suitable.
