The donkey "Xiao Guli" who appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala: "Net Red" is refined in this way

Yaxin Network News (reporter Shi Su) I am a small donkey, my name is "Little Guli". The normal life expectancy of donkeys is 20 years old, and I will be 9 years old when I enter 2017, which is almost middle-aged for people. Unexpectedly, in this year's Spring Festival greetings, I was "red", and only appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage for 1 minute, and I jumped into the well-known "net red".

Coming down from the Spring Festival Gala stage, a boss in Shaanxi Province came up with 100,000 yuan to take me away, and my partner Mai Mai Tijiang Meat Zi could not bear me. By train back in Urumqi, my value went up again. On February 10, a boss in Aksu asked for 200,000 yuan to buy me, and Mai Mai Tijan Meatzi smiled and refused him: "No, no, my little donkey, a Land Rover can't be replaced!" ”

Over the years, the tentacles of the Internet have reached out to the corners of urban and rural areas, and some people have been amplified through the role of the Network in an event or behavior, becoming the "Internet Celebrities" sought after in the Online World. I became an "Internet celebrity" overnight, not by making a show and an Internet pusher, but by relying on the meticulous cultivation of Xinjiang acrobatic artists such as Mai Mai Tijiang Andongzi, and with artistic talent, I was able to have the opportunity to show off on the Stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and then be brought into the virtual network by netizens.

Of course, becoming an "influencer" also has an element of surprise. My luck was so good that the artists of the Xinjiang Acrobatic Troupe called me "the luckiest donkey in the world," and Mai Mai Tijiang Meat Zi even said that I was "the most valuable donkey in the world." Everyone did not expect that my new "Internet celebrity" was refined in this way.

Practitioners

I was born in a remote mountain village in Moyu County, and my ancestors made a living by pulling carts and carrying animals. Moyu County is famous for its abundant jade, and jade miners collect jade along the Karakashi River on the Kunlun Mountains, because there is no road, and the jade collected can only be transported down the mountain by donkeys. One day in the autumn of 2008, when I was under 1 year old, my master took me to the Moyu Grand Bazaar, where thousands of donkeys were concentrated, and people kept looking at us with their hands behind their backs, which was the donkey trading area. A tall thin boy from Urumqi examined me for half a day, and finally bid 2,000 yuan, and the owner was obviously very happy, at that time, a healthy donkey could sell for more than 1,000 yuan. This young man is Mai Mai Tijan Meat Zi. It turned out that the Xinjiang Acrobatic Troupe was rehearsing a classic musical acrobatic drama "Hello, Avanti", which needed a donkey played by an actor and a real donkey. In order to find a favorite real donkey to participate, the acrobatic troupe struggled. The first donkey bought by the acrobatic troupe came from the Turpan region, and there were many farmers in Xinjiang who raised donkeys, but they could not find a person who could tame donkeys, so they had to invite professional animal trainers from Kyrgyzstan to train. After a few months, the donkey will do a few moves as required, but the leader of the acrobatic troupe, Anival Maimaiti, is not happy: the donkey has grown tall and cannot highlight the artistic image of Avanti, so let's give it to the rural fellows! At this time, Mai Mai Ti Jiang, who plays Avanti, said that he was a Hotan man and knew that Hotan's donkeys were not very tall and had special endurance. So, before me, he bought a donkey under the age of two on the Moyu Grand Bazaar and named it "Guli". Using the domestication experience he learned, Mai Mai Tijan MeatZi taught "Gu Li" how to run, lie down, shake hands with people, pretend to kick people, and other actions, and "Gu Li" became a favorite actor in the acrobatic troupe. Donkeys are domestic animals that are tolerant of rough feeding and are not susceptible to illness, but once they are sick, they can cause headaches. "Gu Li" once fell ill, but the people of the acrobatic troupe were in a hurry, and they invited the veterinarian to treat it one after another, and finally made it recover. In order to prevent "Gu Li" from getting sick again and affecting the official performance, the acrobatic troupe decided to buy another donkey that looked exactly like "Gu Li" and act as the B corner of the Avanti real donkey in the play, and once the "Gu Li" as an A corner was sick, she could let the B corner go up. It was harder to pick a B corner than an A corner, and Mai Mai Tijang Meat Zi searched for several days to meet me. He felt very lucky at that time, and the real luck to me, I escaped the fate of pulling a cart and even carrying jade all my life, step by step to Urumqi, nearly 2,000 kilometers away, and transformed into an actor.

concomitant

The artists of the acrobatic troupe also affectionately called me "Guli", and for the sake of distinction, the "Guli" in the A corner is "Big Guli" and I am "Little Guli".

Usually, our sisters lived in a warehouse in the compound of the acrobatic troupe, and the treatment was not low, and a friend of the head of the Anivar Maimaiti regiment worked in the Xinjiang equestrian team, and the horses of the equestrian team ate the best forage selected from Nanshan, and he asked his friend to help purchase our hay by the way. Coupled with hiring people to raise, the acrobatic troupe will invest more than 60,000 yuan in us every year.

During training, I practiced the same movements as "Daguli". We are stubborn by nature, sometimes suddenly in a bad mood, sometimes very dissatisfied with something, at this time, Mai Mai Ti Jiang Meat Zi will stop training, do not bother with us, do not deliberately coax us, but crouch not far away and wait quietly. Sometimes it takes two or three hours for us to forget our previous unhappiness.

Mai Mai Tijang Meat Zi often praised us, if we did the action in place, or trained hard, he would take out apples and carrots as a reward. Initially, when he trained the first donkey with the Kyrgyz trainer, because the donkey did not listen to him and kicked him, he was so angry that he slapped the donkey's butt with the reins of the donkey, which attracted the criticism of the animal trainer: "Animals are like people with sentient beings, and if you hit it, it will fear you and not cooperate with your performance." You have to care for it like a child and make it move. Gradually, Mai Mai Tijang Meatzy became an experienced animal trainer.

At the beginning of 2009, "Hello, Avanti" was staged, and "Daguli" participated in the performance. Unlike the little donkey of Avanti in works of art such as animation and movies, "Daguli" performs acrobatics with the actors in the play, and its classic actions are integrated with the colorful acrobatic projects in the entire acrobatic drama, which complements the image of Avanti's wisdom, justice, humor and open-mindedness in the play.

Urumqi, Aksu, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macao... The actors of "Hello, Avanti" have brought wonderful performances to all parts of the motherland, and as special actors, "Daguli" has been taken care of by everyone along the way. It drank water and diarrhea during the Guangzhou performance, and then went to the south to perform, and the troupe specially brought a large bucket of Xinjiang water for it.

When there was no performance, "Daguli" and I trained and played together, and the feelings of ear grinding and inseparable made the acrobatic troupe actors say that we were a pair of sisters.

However, there is no unbroken feast in the world, and in March last year, "Hello, Avanti" was performed 500 times in our hometown of Moyu County, setting a record for the highest number of consecutive performances of a play by a professional art performance group in the autonomous region. For the meritorious actor "Daguli", the acrobatic troupe made a decision to let it return to its hometown to enjoy the natural and authentic fun, held a "kissing ceremony" for it, and selected the best male donkey to "marry" it.

Stage

Xinjiang's sketch can be on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, is a rare opportunity, let the donkey also appear on the stage to participate, the opportunity is even more rare. In December 2016, when the CCTV Spring Festival Gala crew decided to let Mai Mai Tijiang Meat Zi bring a donkey to the Spring Festival Gala, the first thing that came to mind was the "Great Guli" who had made great achievements and cooperated with him.

I remember that when "Daguli" left the acrobatic troupe and returned to her hometown, the actors who had been with it for nearly 10 years were all in love, and everyone competed to take photos with it, and some actors cried. After "Daguli" left, I was also very uncomfortable, sometimes I felt bored and lonely, sometimes I had inexplicable irritability, I had no appetite for eating in the first few days, I lost several kilograms, and Mai Mai Ti jiang meat often came to accompany me.

It is impossible to let "Daguli" appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it and Ruyi Langjun live happily in a resort in Moyu County, and they are pregnant. As a B corner, I have not participated in the official performance, and I have to take on the historical mission of the Spring Festival Gala.

After Mai Mai Ti Jiang Meat Zi took me by train to Beijing, we chose a hotel with a backyard outside the West Fourth Ring Road of Beijing, and we began to train here. The hay was brought from Xinjiang, worried that I would be frozen and cold, and after training in the cold wind, Mai Mai Ti jiang Meat Would quickly put the quilt on me.

I'm already famous before I've been on stage, and many media reporters have come to interview me. In order to save time and reassure everyone, Mai Mai Ti Jiang Meat Zi did not introduce me too much, but just followed some reporters' questions, saying that I was the little donkey of "Hello, Avanti", hiding my B-corner identity.

Towards Chinese New Year's Eve, there were small twists and turns in the show, and the firefighters were worried that I would suddenly pee on the stage, affecting the dense circuitry on the stage. To this end, I have one more training, when to defecate, partner Mai Mai Tijang Meat Zi mastered it clearly.

A real donkey stepped onto the stage, for the first time in the history of the Spring Festival Gala. Sure enough, I was just a small test in the sketch "Tianshan Love", and many difficult actions have not been done, and they are "red" all over the country.

When I became famous in one fell swoop, I became busy. On the one hand, it is necessary to undertake performances in the continued performance of "Hello, Avanti", and on the other hand, it is also facing some local invited performances. However, the partner Mai Mai Tijiang Meat Zi said that pure commercial performances, my famous role is not easy to appear, I am a "non-staff actor" of the Xinjiang Acrobatic Troupe, and the performances I participate in must serve the overall situation and spread positive energy.

There is also good news that after my sister "Daguli" gives birth, their mother and son will be taken to Urumqi by the acrobatic troupe, and its children will also be trained to become actors. As for me, I am an older girl, and the acrobatic troupe will not treat me badly, and will also take me back to my hometown to "recruit relatives and get married" and live a happy and comfortable life.
