The last article on this subject was about Li Boxiang's apprentice. Some netizens asked Xiao Tao, why don't you say Du Guozhi? This Article Xiao Tao will talk about Li Boxiang's partner. Li Boxiang has been practicing art for more than seventy years, and there are many partners, but there are not many that make him feel satisfied.
Sun Shaochen
Sun Shaochen is a native of Tianjin. In 1944, nine-year-old Sun Shaochen followed his family to Jinan to join his cousin Sun Shaolin. In terms of generations, Sun Shaochen was older than Li Boxiang, but when it came to Jinan, Li Boxiang was earlier than Sun Shaochen. On September 2, 1943, Sun Shaolin founded the Chenguang Tea Society in Jinan and invited many well-known cross-talk artists to perform, including Li Boxiang's father, Li Jiechen. Li Jiechen took Li Boxiang to Jinan.
At that time, there was a rule in the cross-talk industry, the new field opened, and the first performance had to be a "child man". Li Boxiang, who was 6 years old, was selected by Sun Shaolin to "open the stage" for Chenguang. Li Boxiang is talking about "Six People". This is one of the enlightenment passages that children who are new to cross-talk must learn. If you are an adult, it is even more coke to take advantage of adults. By the way, the bottom of this crosstalk is the "night pot". A few years ago, the Chenguang Cross-talk Club hired Li Boxiang as a consultant, and the certificate number was not No. 1, but No. 0, because Li Boxiang let Chenguang start from scratch.

When Li Boxiang partnered with Sun Shaochen, they were both apprentices. Although the time of the partner is not long, this friendship is unforgettable. In 1990, Li Boxiang and Sun Shaochen were invited to Beijing to record traditional cross-talk for CCTV. For them, it is as if they have stepped back in time and returned to their youth. At that time, Li Boxiang was known as a "little prodigy", and Sun Shaochen, together with Yu Chunzao, Zhao Zhenduo, and Wang Wenyuan, was called the "Four Young Generals of Morning Light". However, Li Boxiang must not have expected that Sun Shaochen would die of illness two years later, at the age of 57.
Liu Wanshan
Liu Wanshan is a native of Beijing. He was Sun Baocai's apprentice. Sun Baocai served as the head of the Third Group of Beijing Quyi Troupe. The biggest feature of Liu Wanshan is its strong adaptability. As long as there is a vacancy, he can fill it. In today's parlance, he's a super substitute.
After partnering with Liu Wanshan, Li Boxiang found that the reason why Liu Wanshan could be a super substitute was that he had a knack. When encountering a passage with unfamiliar words, Liu Wanshan wrote the key words on the palm of his hand and raised his hand to look at it from time to time. One word, he writes one word. For example, in the persuasion field, he writes a "persuasion" word; at the railway station, he writes a "car" word. The advantage of writing this way is that you can write a few more words. Now it's called Xiao Pao, and there was no such word at that time. After Yang Shaohua was old, he also used this trick. Here Xiao Tao will not elaborate, otherwise he will be off topic.
After the dissolution of the Qu Art Troupe, Wang Wenlin and Kang Songguang were placed in the Chongwen Library
Liu Wanshan later served as the deputy head of the Beijing Yanjing Qu Art Troupe. Yanjing Qu Art Troupe, from its establishment to dissolution, it was only three years before and after, but many famous cross-talk artists have spent time in Yanjing Qu Art Troupe, such as Liu Hongyi, Wang Wenlin, Kang Songguang and so on. In 1987, Liu Wanshan died of illness at the age of 55. Li Boxiang and Liu Wanshan have both business and friendship. He accepted Liu Wanshan's son Liu Jishen as a great apprentice.
Du Guozhi
Du Guozhi was born in Chaoyang County, Liaoning Province, and later settled in Tianjin with his parents. In 1958, Du Guozhi participated in a cross-talk class held by the Hebei District Cultural Center to learn cross-talk. Four years later, through the recommendation of Ma Sanli's eldest disciple Yan Xiaoru, Du Guozhi worshiped Zhang Qingsen as his teacher. At that time, Zhang Qingsen had already bid farewell to the stage due to eye disease. Previously, he gave Ma Sanli a measure of life. He and Ma Sanli had both a deal and a friendship. Zhang Qingsen's hometown is also in the northeast. Through the introduction of his master, Du Guozhi joined the Dandong Qu Art Troupe in Liaoning in 1964 and returned to Tianjin three years later.
When Li Boxiang met Du Guozhi, in Li Boxiang's words, "Du Guozhi fiddled with the big cart rutting in a unit that built a big carriage." However, Li Boxiang was not much better than Du Guozhi. He worked as a coolie in the construction team. At the end of 1976, the Cross-Talk Performance Team was established in Heping District, and Du Guozhi participated in the performance team as an amateur actor. Li Boxiang also often participates in their performances. At that time, it was Wang Shiyong who gave Li Boxiang a tribute. Wang Shiyong and Liu Wanshan are brothers. After Wang Shiyong joined the Tianjin Experimental Qu Art Troupe, Li Boxiang played a single. Du Guozhi volunteered and offered to give Li Boxiang a thumbs up. In order not to delay the performance, Li Boxiang agreed.
Performing with Deng Jizeng, Du Guozhi teased
In 1979, Li Boxiang entered the Tianjin Qu Art Troupe as a special teacher. Whenever there was a need for demonstration teaching, Li Boxiang took Du Guozhi with him. Du Guozhi became Li Boxiang's accompanist. In their spare time, they continue to perform outside. While du Guozhi performed, he humbly learned from Li Boxiang.
Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared. In 1980, the leader of the Qu Art Troupe sent Li Boxiang and Du Guozhi to Shanghai to save the scene, but they did not expect them to become popular, and the "Li Du" group first appeared sharply. Li Boxiang and Du Guozhi, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, one humble and one clever, one slow and one fast, such a combination is a perfect match. Two years later, when they jointly said "Chat", Li Boxiang created a bombastic character, which fell under a nickname - Li Dabai Egg.
In 1986, Li Boxiang and Du Guozhi participated in the first national provincial and municipal television cross-talk invitational competition held by CCTV. The entry "The Best of Synthesis" was created by Li Boxiang for the competition. The performance effect is surprisingly good, which can be described as hot. Du Guozhi won the third prize of the praise, Li Boxiang was happy for him, who knew that he only won the third prize of the praise. He was a little unconvinced.
Li Boxiang and Du Guozhi have been partners for 36 years
As for the reason, Li Boxiang said this in his oral autobiography: "Because I have a baggage in that paragraph. Du Guozhi asked me, where in the world are the most unstable prices? I say the least stable thing is the stocks of Western countries (there were no stock markets in China at that time), because it changes several times a day. Du Guozhi asked where the price is the most stable? I said that China's stamps were eight cents decades ago, and they are still eight cents. The baggage was so loud that the audience laughed. After coming down, the people at the TV station said that this sentence had to be pinched. That gave me a third prize. After this, Li Boxiang never participated in the CCTV cross-talk competition again. Ma Zhiming also participated in the cross-talk competition and did not even get the third prize. He was unwilling, and played again two years later, and only won the third prize of the comic. In a way, Li Boxiang is luckier than Ma Zhiming, because he has only suffered "sin" once.
On January 25, 2014, Du Guozhi died of a heart attack and died at the age of 70 after the rescue was ineffective. Since then, there has been no "Li Du" combination in the Chinese cross-talk industry. Li Boxiang and Du Guozhi have been partners for 36 years, which is 36 years of solid work. They are not only "fire stalls", but also "iron stalls". The fire file refers to the partner whose performance effect is hot, and the iron file refers to the partner who has cooperated for decades. After Du Guozhi's death, Li Boxiang was silent for a while, and only later did he partner with Xu Xiulin.
Xu Xiulin
Xu Xiulin is a native of Tianjin. He is Li Boxiang's brother-in-law. Xu Xiulin joined the Combat Arts troupe in 1973, first as a cross-talk actor and then as an art director. Xu Xiulin has a well-known apprentice, that is, Zhu Jun, the host of the CCTV program.
Xu Xiulin's hair is gray, but he is 11 years younger than Li Boxiang
In 1990, Xu Xiulin returned to Tianjin, working first in the Municipal Bureau of Culture, and then transferred to the Tianjin Qu Art Troupe, where he served as the head of the troupe. Although he was Li Boxiang's disciple, Xu Xiulin was Li Boxiang's leader.
Before retiring, Xu Xiulin's focus of work has shifted, and after returning to the stage, the business is inevitably a little strange. Fortunately, standing next to Li Boxiang, as long as you grasp the right measure, if you don't grab the scene, you will be finished. However, as an audience, we have to thank Xu Xiulin. It is with a partner like Xu Xiulin that Li Boxiang can continue to bring laughter and happiness to everyone.
Write at the end
In addition to the partners mentioned above, Li Boxiang's father Li Jiechen is also Li Boxiang's partner, and the time of the partner is not short. For Li Jiechen, Ma Sanli's evaluation is not high, and he even publicly said that Li Jiechen is "humane second". What exactly made Third Master Ma utter such a vicious remark, please listen to the next decomposition.
