Preamble:
Should the relationship between father and son be based on mutual respect? Can father and son joke at will regardless of seniority? When a father performs on stage, does he need to obey his son's "orders" and change his way of dressing and image?
I believe these questions will generate your own thoughts after reading the following articles.
This article will tell in detail an interesting incident that happened in the cross talk industry in 2003: Yang Shaohua and Yang Yi's father and son exchanged words in an interview.
Overview of "a young man from Hebei" Yang Shaohua
Yang Shaohua, a heavyweight in Tianjin's cross talk industry, is known as "a young man from Hebei".
He is bold by nature, straightforward in personality, never hides his emotions, and is full of joy and anger.
Yang Shaohua had a hard life when he was a teenager.
He comes from an ordinary peasant family in Yongnian County, Hebei Province, and has as many as eight brothers in his family.
The harsh living environment made him resolutely decide to leave his hometown and come to Tianjin alone to make a living.
When he first came to the unfamiliar city of Tianjin, Yang Shaohua's first impression was immature, with short hair with sparse temples and a delicate face revealing a literati popularity, which was different from most rugged Tianjin people.
Yang Shaohua's cross talk enlightenment teacher is Ma Sanli, who is known for his warmth.
At first, Yang Shaohua studied art under the leadership of Ma Sanli, and gradually emerged in the cross talk industry by relying on his extraordinary language talent and diligence.
However, with his straightforward personality, he drifted away from the modest Ma Sanli, and finally chose his own path.
In the mid-to-late 80s, Yang Shaohua met Zhao Yansheng, a big name in the cross talk industry.
The two hit it off and have worked together for many years and become close friends.
Yang Shaohua was already a well-known actor in the cross talk industry at this time, and his witty style of speaking as fast as a cannon and endless tricks was deeply loved by local audiences in Tianjin.
"Father's incomprehension": Yang Yi gave up his dream of cross talk?
In the 90s of the 20th century, Yang Yi and his father Yang Shaohua were well-known in the Tianjin cross talk industry.
At that time, Yang Shaohua always thought that the cross talk industry was too indecent, unlike the stage of senior intellectuals, and persuaded his son to give up this useless cross talk dream.
"A smart kid like you should read more books and become a professor or something in the future, why bother playing tricks in such a place like me!" Yang Shaohua often persuaded his son like this.
However, Yang Yi, who is romantic in his bones, has an innate talent for cross talk, he loves the stage deeply, and is unwilling to let go of the sweet "meat" of cross talk.
Yang Yi's mother also favored this cynical son and often covered up his decisions.
For this reason, Yang Yi, who was fierce by nature, even ran away from home angrily and rented a house by himself.
However, he was young and energetic and did not think about his own livelihood, and soon collapsed and had to return to his father.
After this incident, Yang Shaohua realized that he could not interfere too much with his son's decision.
Although he is still not optimistic about the cross talk industry, he still develops by his son.
After all, children have grown up and have their own opinions.
In 2002, Yang Yi stood out in the national cross talk competition held by CCTV as a dark horse and won the first prize.
This is undoubtedly a great affirmation of his choice of cross talk path.
Since then, Yang Yi has also become well-known in the cross talk industry, and often appears in some TV programs.
The young and frivolous Yang Yi "instructed" his father how to perform
In the winter of 2003, CCTV 3 invited a group of cross talk actors from Tianjin to be interviewed.
In addition to Yang Shaohua, Yang Yi father and son, there are other predecessors such as Su Wenmao, Tian Lihe, Liu Junjie, etc.
"When cross talk actors meet, it's impossible not to be verbose.
Everyone sat around, you and I talked word by word, and the topic also went from the jokes on the stage to the interesting things in life.
At this time, Yang Yi seemed to want to enhance his presence in front of this group of seniors.
He cleared his throat, and suddenly gave his father Yang Shaohua "advice": "Actors must wear makeup and dress neatly on stage, which is a kind of courtesy to the audience." ”
Yang Shaohua was speechless when he heard this.
Liu Junjie, a friend in the same company, was also stunned.
How can a son "criticize" his father in front of a group of seniors? Yang Shaohua was full of question marks, and said in his heart, this kid doesn't know how to lift up, so he has to be embarrassed in front of his elders!
He wanted to show that he knew the stage better.
It seems that he Yang Shaohua has been mixed for decades, and the rules of the cross talk industry are not clear!
Yang Yi said to himself: "Your hair...... You are an elder and of course a father......"
"Is this still negotiable?" said a sudden gag.
It was Liu Junjie who interjected! Everyone burst into laughter, and Yang Yi was speechless all of a sudden.
This smashing was so sudden, he hadn't reacted yet!
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a master, you can't disown your father!" Father and son confront, do not compete with the son for elders
Before Liu Junjie's words fell, Yang Shaohua blurted out: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a master, you can't deny your father!"
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Yang Yi was annoyed and ashamed, reluctantly picked up the lost face, raised his voice and defended: "When you perform again, you still have to put on makeup ......"
Yang Shaohua was still a little unhappy in his heart, after all, his son "reprimanded" himself like this in front of a group of seniors, which was really unseemly.
But he didn't choose to go toe-to-toe with his son, after all, Yang Yi had no malice, just being young and frivolous.
He knows Yang Yi's character, this kid has always done his own thing, and he loves to behave in front of outsiders.
The previous incident of running away from home made him feel a little guilty in his heart, and he thought that he should also be considerate of his son.
So Yang Shaohua followed Yang Yi's words and asked rhetorically: "Friends, do you agree with his point of view?" Of course, the audience below didn't have the heart to dig into the matter, so they all shouted as if they agreed: "Agree!"
That's embarrassing.
Yang Yi was confused for a while, so he could only stand dryly, smiling awkwardly.
He also realized that he was too wrong, and he was a little embarrassed to look at other people.
Father and son should be measured when joking, and friends should fight back not to hurt their sincerity
Seeing that the young man was too embarrassed, Liu Junjie continued: "Actually, the way Mr. Yang looks like this now is the result of wearing makeup."
You say don't you?"
"Hahaha......" The scene burst into laughter again.
At this time, Yang Shaohua pointed at Liu Junjie with a smile and sighed coquettishly: "This kid ......"
In fact, Yang Shaohua is still upset for his son in his heart.
Yang Yi is still a young man after all, and Liu Junjie's words are too heavy.
He was worried that Yang Yi would be poked in the sore spot and be sad.
We have to admit that Yang's proposal is not entirely unreasonable.
But his wording and attitude are clearly inconsiderate and somewhat disrespectful to his elders.
This is a sign of youthful vigor.
And Yang Shaohua was not surprised, and did not choose to confront his son head-on.
This kind of cultivation is worth learning from.
Liu Junjie's last ridicule is a bit excessive, and we don't know if Yang Yi will feel a faint pain in his heart backstage.
Relationships between fathers and sons, friends, teachers and students need to be based on mutual understanding, love and respect.
Epilogue:
