On the evening of January 12, the unveiling ceremony of the famous cross-talk performance artist Li Guosheng's cross-talk studio was held in Beijing. After the ceremony, a special party of "Thanksgiving for the New Era of Rap New Fangshan" Zheng Yukun was also held. Zheng Yukun He Xuren also, Rong waited a while to talk.
First, let's talk about Mr. Li Guosheng. Li Guosheng was born in Beijing in July 1939, this year is already eighty years old, so old, but also set up a cross-talk studio, in order to inherit the cross-talk art to play a residual heat, worthy of admiration. The old man is hard!
Since childhood, Li Guosheng has loved the art of cross-talk, is talented and intelligent, practical and studious, and has taught Luo Rongshou, an old cross-talk artist in Beijing. During the training of the CCTV Rap Group's cross-talk tutoring class, he was deeply appreciated by Liu Baorui, the stand-up king. With Luo Rongshou and Liu Baorui, two cross-talk masters working together to cultivate, Li Guosheng's foundation is quite solid. It was precisely because of the master's promotion that Li Guosheng entered Hou Baolin's magic eye.
41 years ago, in 1978, to celebrate the first national science congress, the literary and artistic circles held a large evening party. That night, there was a counterpart of Mr. Hou Baolin, and people speculated that who would give Master Hou a hug?
At this time, Hou Baolin's old partner Guo Qiru has died, and another partner, Guo Quanbao, although still alive, can no longer perform on stage due to physical reasons.
When Hou Baolin walked to the stage with a burly middle-aged man, people were surprised to find that it was Li Guosheng, who was not very famous, walking with the master. When the two men stood up and just spoke, people were even more surprised. Originally, Hou Baolin was all funny, but in this show, he became a hilarious person, and Li Guosheng, who always praised it, became a tease.
It turned out that the work performed that day was called "Perpetual Motion Machine", which was newly created according to the nature of the science conference, which had many scientific and technological languages and new terms, and Hou Baolin, who was more than 60 years old, was not as memorable as before, and he was worried that the new paragraph would forget the words, so he temporarily decided to change roles in the background. At this moment, Li Guosheng's head suddenly became bigger. Seeing Hou Baolin's urgent gaze, Li Guosheng agreed.
After the performance came to the backstage, Hou Baolin patted Li Guosheng's shoulder: "Boy, yes, not a word is wrong." "At this time, Li Guosheng, whose underwear was completely soaked, had a hanging heart let go." "It's because he has a good habit of memorizing words, that is, when memorizing words, he will memorize all the words of both of them."
In 1979, Hou Baolin bid farewell to the stage, and the cooperation between the two ended. Li Guosheng is not only the last partner of Master Hou Baolin, but also the only surviving partner of Master Hou Baolin. Their representative works include "Modesty", "Talking about The Law", "The Study of Laughter", "Drunkenness" and so on.
After that, Li Guosheng and Xiao Lin worked together for more than 20 years, during which time, the two were selected as the best cross-talk partners in the country, becoming a well-known golden group, and the performances of "Caravan", "Learn Radio", "As Long As You Live Better Than Me" became popular cross-talk works loved by the audience.
In 2015, Li Guosheng had a sudden cerebral infarction, and then he lived in seclusion. In recent years, Elder Li's body has gradually recovered, and he has successively participated in some performances and paid attention to promoting the younger generations. In the first half of 2018, in a special performance to commemorate the centenary of Mr. Luo Rongshou's birth, Li Guosheng and Li Jindou jointly performed a performance of "Catch and Release Cao", and the crowd applauded during the performance.
Back to Zheng Yukun. Zheng Yukun's real name is Zheng Kunbo, a young cross-talk actor, a re-disciple of the famous cross-talk performance artist Li Jindou, and the master is Liu Ying. Good at creating, good at teasing. Since March 2014, Zheng Yukun has cooperated with Li Guosheng and become Li Guosheng's new partner.
Let us wish Mr. Li Guosheng good health and evergreen artistic life!
