I like a sentence that Comrade Jiang Kun said, how close you are to the people, the people are to you.
This is a phrase that Comrade Jiang Kun often says when teaching young crosstalk artists, and it is also one of the words that touched me the most.
Looking back on Comrade Jiang Kun's life, I would like to use the phrases Optimus White Jade Pillar and Jiahai Purple Golden Liang to describe it.
The language art of crosstalk was actually in decline and endangered in the sixties and seventies of the last century.
Comrade Jiang Kun was in the Production and Construction Corps at that time, quietly teaching himself the art of crosstalk, which can be regarded as leaving a spark for this language art that was about to die.
When the reform and opening up, Jiang Kun led a group of like-minded brothers to actively develop new crosstalk, created a large number of classic works and created a large number of classic characters.
Comrade Jiang Kun said: Artists should not love money, but should regard art as life.
Indeed, over the past 40 years and more, Comrade Jiang Kun has strictly abided by the party's literary and artistic policy, and he has pursued the principle of infecting and educating the people with good works.
Over the years, in addition to the busy work of 200 performances for the masses every year, the master also went to schools, factories and various groups to give lectures, he organized more than 100 crosstalk art seminars every year, and he also led the crosstalk application, incorporated the traditional art of crosstalk into the intangible heritage, and personally acted as the inheritor of intangible heritage.
Especially in the past two decades, thanks to the orderly guidance of Comrade Jiang Kun, the performances of various academies and troupes in the system have been frequent and active, including crosstalk conferences, intangible cultural heritage crosstalk conferences and various condolence performances. These performances are deeply loved by the broad masses of the people and crosstalk enthusiasts.
The ancients said that preaching and receiving karma is the foundation of the artist. Comrade Jiang Kun has been all over the world for so many years, teaching a large number of good apprentices, and also promoting the art of crosstalk out of the country, and even the mountains of Canada have fallen under Jiang Kunmen. Over the years, Comrade Jiang Kun has accepted hundreds of named and anonymous apprentices at home and abroad, and almost all of them have become talented and successful.
For example, Tang in Shandong, such as Zhou Wei and so on.
Are these excellent crosstalk artists just art what they learned from Master Jiang Kun? No, there is also a heart to serve the people wholeheartedly.
Comrade Jiang Kun has elegant interests and likes calligraphy, and in addition to being the chairman of the Quyi Association, he is also the executive director of the Calligraphy Association, because his calligraphy art is superb, and a banner that reads "horizontally into peaks on the side of the ridge, different heights near and far" is worth 20,000 yuan. His calligraphy works are sold and donated, and he is enthusiastic about public welfare, which is really a long thing. An old artist who created billions of box office revenues for the country still lives in an old house built in the nineties.
Because of the infection and education of Comrade Jiang Kun, the group of artists in the system led by him, everyone is simple and heavy, Li Jindou is almost 80 years old, not only active on the crosstalk stage, but also fighting endlessly to uphold the integrity of crosstalk art.
Because of the strong leadership of Comrade Jiang Kun, crosstalk art has been on the verge of extinction in the nineties of the last century to almost every city today. Under the inspiration and guidance of Comrade Jiang Kun, a large number of young people devoted themselves to crosstalk art, which greatly prospered the crosstalk art garden.
Some literary critics said that there are three epoch-making masters of Chinese crosstalk art, the first is the founder of crosstalk art is not afraid, the second is Mr. Hou Baolin, the leader of improving crosstalk art, and the third is naturally Comrade Jiang Kun, who revived crosstalk and led crosstalk to achieve current prosperity.
Comrade Jiang Kun is simple and approachable, he tolerates more young actors with different artistic methods, and accepts a large number of reformed outstanding young crosstalk artists, which is the main reason why crosstalk art can prosper today. At the same time, he recorded free blessing videos for young people to start various legal businesses, supporting young people to start businesses and struggle.
What touched me the most was that Jiang Kun never participated in commercial endorsements, and with his great popularity and prestige, as long as he nodded his head on commercial endorsements, he earned hundreds of millions every year.
