Now mention Mr. Ma Zhiming, that is a first-class horn, the orthodox successor of Ma's cross-talk, the non-hereditary heir of cross-talk art, and the name is very famous. Whether it is a peer in the cross-talk industry or a cross-talk audience, they must be honored with a "young horse master", and regard the old man as the Taishan Beidou of the cross-talk industry, the highest authority.
However, when he was young, Mr. Ma Zhiming was a completely stunned young man, and the reputation of the industry was not outstanding. As we all know, Ma Zhiming has a straight personality, what to say, never afraid of offending people, the result is to offend many people, so he has always been a god who is respected and far away in the cross-talk industry, and there are very few people who can really become friends with him.
I think that at that time, Mr. Ma Sanli was criticized because of historical problems, and he was timid and afraid of things, and he always had to endure and endure, preferring to be wronged himself rather than cause trouble to others. The young and vigorous Ma Zhiming can't manage so much, shouting for his father everywhere, and he is also an unpleasant person in the unit, depressed.
In 1987, Ma Zhiming and Xie Tianshun cracked, ostensibly saying that the two had different ratings in the regiment, which made Xie Tianshun, who was the lower level, feel unhappy; the deeper reason was that Ma Zhiming was arrogant, his mouth was unobstructed, his future was worrying, and Xie Tianshun could not see hope at all. As for the rating, it's just a fuse.
If Ma Zhiming had the current reputation, then changing a better partner was a matter of hand to hand, and some were sent to the door to let him pick; unfortunately, after leaving Xie Tianshun, Ma Zhiming became a lonely man in the regiment, not only did no one take the initiative to find his partner, but even avoided him.
This is the so-called "character determines destiny".
Without a partner, there would be no performance, and there would be no income, and in desperation, Ma Zhiming set his sights on the outside of the Qu Art Troupe, and then found huang Zumin.
The Ma family has an old friend in the cross-talk industry, named Li Haoran, who temporarily gave Mr. Ma Sanli a nickname in the early years, and also cooperated with Mr. Ma Zhiming several times, and is a common friend of father and son. Mr. Li works as a tutor at the Tianjin Heping District Workers' Club Quyi Troupe, which is known as the Quyi Troupe, but is actually just a group of young cross-talk fans, of which Huang Zumin is one of them.
After learning of Mr. Ma Zhiming's situation, Mr. Li took the initiative to introduce him to him, saying that there was a good seedling among his students, and he was holding it well, and took the time to bring it to you to see.
In this way, Huang Shimin was led to Ma Zhiming's house by Li Haoran, and the two chatted for a while, but they were not sure to start a partnership, perhaps Mr. Ma Zhiming was still hesitating.
Soon after, the qu art troupe had an urgent performance task arranged for Ma Zhiming, but he could not find a partner, and in a hurry, he thought of Huang Zumin; gave him a tape of "White Affairs Society", let him listen to it for three days, and rehearsed once in three days.
At that time, Huang Zumin was still a propaganda cadre of a state-owned pharmaceutical factory in Tianjin, and he had to go to work during the day, and he had to take his children home from work, and he could only wait for the children to go to bed before taking a little time to listen to crosstalk. However, the Huang people have a good memory, three days later they memorized the lines, the rehearsal was very smooth, although there are many places where the size and strength are not right, but it is a victory to be able to perform it completely.
Ma Zhiming was very satisfied with Huang Zumin's performance, but still did not make up his mind to formally partner, but only called him when there was a performance, and it was done after the performance.
In the Spring Festival of 1988, it was the peak season of cross-talk performances, Ma Zhiming and Huang Zumin rehearsed seven works in succession, including classic programs such as "Tethered Doll" and "Riddle of Lights"; Huang Zumin learned quickly and the performance effect was very good, which was considered to have completely conquered Ma Zhiming and began to formally cooperate since then.
After the formal cooperation, Ma Zhiming applied to the regiment to transfer the working relationship of the Huang people from the pharmaceutical factory to the Qu Art Troupe, which solved the worries of the Huang people and saved him from having both ends.
However, the Huang people are always amateurs, and there will inevitably be some gossip in the anecdotes, saying that he can't speak cross-talk, but will only sneak around and pat the horse to climb the magnates, etc.; for this reason, Ma Zhiming openly declared that he accepted the Huang people as an apprentice, and it was the only apprentice he himself recognized, supporting the Huang people.
In an interview next night, Ma Zhi once told a small detail, which especially shows the importance he attaches to the Huang people. He said that when the organizer invited him to perform, there would be a special car transfer, often only to pick him up, not to pick up the Huang people; sometimes let the Huang people wait at his home, sometimes let the Huang people go alone in the car. Ma Zhiming felt that this was unfair to the Huang people, so after the organizer picked him up, he pointed out the way and asked the driver to drive to the Huang people's home and pick him up and go with him.
This small detail shows that Ma Zhiming in his later years really lived to understand, knew how to consider problems from the perspective of others, and took into account the feelings of everyone, which is one of the reasons why he gradually gained recognition in his later years.
The reason why a master can become a master is that art is only one aspect, and the charm of personality is also indispensable.
