In the old society, most cross-talk artists could only sell their art clearly. Find a clearing in a dense place where the crowds come and go, do everything in your power, and take out a pole to do a good job, all you can do is to support your family. However, the day-to-day performance not only allows the artist's ability to be tempered and improved, but also cultivates the deep feelings between the audience and the actors.
Those who can really play the role of the audience are often regarded as artistic confidants by the actors. Master Hou Baolin once said: "My whole life has been my audience and audience, and these food and clothing parents have raised me." It can be seen that the relationship between the actor and the audience is like a fish and water, interdependent and inseparable.
Because the old gentlemen have experienced the hardships of selling art in the old society, they are more aware of the difficulty of making change. Therefore, the audience is highly respected in their eyes. At that time, Ma Zhicun subconsciously pointed to the audience under the stage during a performance. This subtle move was taken in by Uncle Sun Shaolin.
After the performance, Sun Shaolin asked him: "Zhicun, which hand did you stretch out when you were performing just now?" You talk about me seeing. Ma Zhicun just held out the hand that pointed to the audience, and Sun Shaolin directly snapped it and hit it with a fan, and the finger was swollen at that time. You may think that the old gentleman is too demanding, but in the eyes of crosstalk, courtesy and respect for the audience from the heart are the most basic requirements as an actor.
Mr. Gao Fengshan, a generation of allegro masters, has been practicing art since childhood, and before liberation, he had been working on the beijing tianqiao for many years, and he also formed a deep friendship with the audience who loved to visit the tianqiao. Later, Gao Fengshan entered the Beijing Qu Art Troupe and had a formal performance venue. However, the old audience who met at the overpass at that time still remembers the allegro sung by Gao Fengshan. There was even a special visit from the audience, "Mr. Gao, don't forget these people in our overpass!" This sentence deeply touched Gao Fengshan, who was very affectionate and righteous. Not long after, he organized a performance of "Gao Fengshan led the group back to the tianqiao" and offered to praise Li Jindou, who was also in the qu art troupe at that time. Li Jindou was also very happy to hear that his "class teacher" wanted to personally give him a hug.
On the day of the performance, Gao Fengshan and Li Jindou appeared as the last of the show to save the bottom. And many spectators at the scene came to see Gao Fengshan. When the two grandfathers were waiting for the scene, many spectators in the audience shouted loudly: Gao Fengshan! Gao Fengshan! As soon as Mr. Gao took the stage, he fried the pan offstage. Because they were all acquaintances, everyone greeted Gao Fengshan and said hello, and Mr. Gao was busy greeting everyone. Li Jindou, who was standing on the sidelines, was dumbfounded, as a teenager, he had never seen this formation. In desperation, I could only hold the board and stand next to it.
Just as Li Jindou was in a daze, Gao Fengshan said, "What a shock! Sing! "He came back to God, but because of the stunned just now, he forgot all the words." I forgot what to sing, but you can sing it alone! "After saying that, I cried and stepped down. As a result, Gao Fengshan could only perform for the audience by himself, and after singing for a while, he shouted backstage: "Baby, remember?" I want to remember singing two sentences to people! Li Jindou only came on stage for the second time, and finally performed the show.
After the baptism of this performance, Li Jindou, who was new to the art sea, saw the sincerity and respect of the older generation of artists to the audience. After many years of recalling this incident, Dou Ye still could not hide his infinite respect for Mr. Gao, and he had always used this as an example to demand himself and his apprentices. For a cross-talk actor, no matter how high the artistic level is, if he does not know how to respect the audience and does not take his parents seriously, then his artistic road will certainly not go long!
