Zhao Zhenduo Zhao Shizhong in his youth
Taking stock of the most classic baggage of traditional cross-talk, the "bath" in "Eight Fan Screen" must be among them. A said to play in the North Sea, see the lake water is clear, a happy "wash a date", B is worried that A was drowned, a careful question to understand, is "washing dates" instead of "bathing". Traditional cross-talk is gradually processed and sorted out by generations of artists in the performance, and the original of this baggage is Zhao Zhenduo and Zhao Shizhong of the Beijing Qu Art Troupe. The "Eight Fan Screens" of these two are also unprecedented and unprecedented.
Wang Changyou, an artist of the Baozi generation, studied under Zhao Qiru and cooperated with Tan Boru for many years, and became famous for a while. In the 1940s, Wang Changyou took in his apprentice Zhao Zhenduo, a mentor and apprentice partner, and performed in Tianjin, Jinan, Zhangjiakou and other places.
Zhao Zhenduo Zhao Shizhong
In Tianjin, Wang Changyou and Zhao Zhenduo performed in Nanshi Yuhuchun, with Ma Shulin's Liu Pai Jingyun drum at the bottom, Wang Peichen's Le Ting drum, and Shi Liancheng's single stringer and Wang Yubao's Tianjin tune. Wang Changyou and Zhao Zhenduo are the front-court cross-talk, Li Jiechen and Li Boxiang are the half-court cross-talk, and the back-court cross-talk is Guo Quanbao and Chang Baolin. Zhao Zhenduo and Li Boxiang are similar in age, and they play pinball outside without any trouble and are afraid of mahjong. Once when I had to forget the performance, Wang Changyou and Li Jiechen came out to urge the scene, and the two children were one by one.
Later, at the Morning Light Cross-Talk Conference in Jinan, Shandong, Zhao Zhenduo still studied and performed together with Li Boxiang, Sun Shaochen, Yu Chunzao and others. Listening to those old gentlemen at the front desk who were armed with extraordinary skills to talk about cross-talk, Zhao Zhenduo laid a profound foundation, his way of life was very broad, and he successively learned dozens of cross-talks such as "Eight Fan Screens", "Geographical Map", "Learning Four Provinces", "Eighteen Sorrows", "Eating lanterns", "Crooked Three Character Classic", "Eight No Grins", "Big Bodyguard", "Big Face", "Qua Residence", "Fenhe Bay", "Selling Cloth Heads", "Miscellaneous Singing", "Opening a Porridge Factory", "Drama Fan Medicine Prescription", "Grilling Horse Coats" and so on. Although he is young, but the typhoon is calm, the performance is natural, never sensational, the style is close to the cross-talk master Zhang Shouchen, known as "Little Shouchen", Zhang Shouchen also recognizes his nickname.

In the early 1950s, 20-year-old Zhao Zhenduo joined the Beijing Xiangsheng Improvement Group with his master Wang Changyou and played an important role in excavating traditional programs. At the same time, he said that he was new to singing and rehearsed many new programs, including "Morning Glory", "Dr. Jia", "New Eight Screens", "New Prescription", "One Equals Several", "Amazing Witty Words", "The Man with a High Head", "Indiscriminate Counting" and more than 100 paragraphs.
In 1954, Zhao Zhenduo began to cooperate with Zhao Shizhong. Zhao Shizhong, who is three years older than Zhao Zhenduo, is also a Beijinger, and is a disciple of Tan Boru, whose praise is very standardized, strict and seamless, accurate and decent, simple and generous performance, witty and humorous language, and a sense of proportion is just right.
Zhao Zhenduo and Zhao Shizhong have become the golden partners of the cross-talk industry, known as the "Beijing Second Zhao". At that time, Chairman Mao often listened to many cross-talks, including Zhao Zhenduo and Zhao Shizhong's "Crooked Three Character Classic." Mr. Lao She also praised the performance of "Er Zhao".

In 1962, the Beijing Quyi Troupe came to Tianjin to perform opera, opera and makeup in theaters such as the People's Auditorium. Makeup cross-talk is a new genre created by the Beijing Qu Art Troupe to absorb some characteristics of the southern "burlesque opera", and the "Watching Movies" performed by Zhao Zhenduo and Zhao Shizhong at that time was a representative work of makeup cross-talk. "Erzhao" also participated in the filming of the movie "A Thousand Miles a Day" and the film art film "Laughter".
Zhao Zhenduo served as the head of the Beijing Qu art troupe, and Li Jindou was his disciple. Li Jindou was admitted to the Beijing Qu Art Troupe at the age of 13, and the enlightenment teacher was Wang Changyou. Wang Changyou told him that the study of cross-talk is very deep, and the big class is a general study, and it is necessary to have a master to give "returning to the Tao.". Because Wang Changyou is older and has a high generation, it is not appropriate to accept apprentices, Li Jindou likes Zhao Zhenduo's cross-talk, so Wang Changyou let Li Jindou worship Zhao Zhenduo. In 1996, Zhao Zhenduo died of illness, and Li Jindou wore Ma Dai Xiaoxiao to send his master to his death. (Text: He Yuxin)
