Now speaking of Wang Fengshan, everyone knows that he is the founder of Wang Pai Allegro, and in the cross-talk gate is The brother of Hou Baolin and Ma Zhiming, the partner of Ma Sanli, and the master of MaLacca.
Speaking of Jin Wensheng, everyone is talking about the fact that he is the master of Guo Degang and Liang Hongda Xihemen, one of the guides of Gao Feng, and the remains after his death are enshrined in the backstage of the Deyun Society.
In fact, Wang Fengshan and Jin Wensheng are a pair of masters and apprentices in the xiangsheng gate, in addition to this relationship, they have also been cooperative partners, friends in distress and brothers who know their hearts.
The main content of this article comes from Jin Wensheng's memoirs, and the author has the right to "translate".
First, business relationships become friends
Wang Fengshan was born in Beijing in 1916, and Jin Wensheng was born in Shandong in 1930. When the two first met, it was actually a business relationship, Jin Wensheng was still called King Kong at that time, he had a small garden in Jinan, Wang Fengshan came to Jinan in 1949 to sell art in Jin Wensheng's garden, and the two knew each other.
Wang Fengshan was born illiterate, Jin Wensheng is cultured, jin Wensheng especially likes Wang Fengshan's allegro, so many times he helps Wang Fengshan, who can't read, write alive, and the two gradually become friends.
Second, the masterpiece of "stealing"
Wang Fengshan has a Wang Pai Allegro masterpiece "Double Lock Mountain", which was first sung by Jin Wenran, the big drum of The Pavilion. When he performed in Jinan, he attracted the attention of Wang Fengshan and Jin Wensheng. Wang Fengshan liked this piece of work very much, but Jin Wenran went back to Tangshan after the performance.
Jin Wensheng was in his early twenties at that time, when he was bold, he immediately set out to chase Jin Wenran to Tangshan, where he shook the ground while looking for an opportunity to listen to "Double Lock Mountain". After listening to it three times, he remembered it all, and when he came back, he said it to Wang Fengshan, and the two of them adapted the show into an allegro, and "Double Lock Mountain" became a program at the bottom of the Wang Pai Allegro pressure box.
3. Friends become brothers
Wang Fengshan had two wives when he was in Jinan, and in response to the Marriage Law, he divorced but had to pay two hundred yuan to each of his two wives. (I don't know why I left all of them, shouldn't I leave one behind?) ）
Four hundred yuan was a huge amount of money at that time, and Jin Wensheng saw that Wang Fengshan could not earn these by selling art, so under his suggestion, the two began to sell their own pharmaceutical candy while selling art, and got up early every day to work greedily. In the end, he did not earn four hundred yuan later, Jin Wensheng did not say, it is estimated that it is enough. However, through this time, the two teenagers have established a deep friendship.
Fourth, yin and yang mistakenly promote two star fathers
In 1955, when Wang Fengshan could not make any money in Jinan, he followed Wang Shutian to Wuhan, and after he arrived in Wuhan, he wrote a letter inviting Jin Wensheng to also go over. But Jin Wensheng was worried about the accent problem and did not dare to go. So he recommended Huang Tingdong, who also has a name called Huang Feng, and he has a son named Huang Hong.
Later, Wang Fengshan's business in Wuhan was not good, so he went to Tianjin and entered the Tianjin Radio Qu Art Troupe, which lacked a fast book, so he invited Jin Wensheng again, but Jin Wensheng still did not dare to go because of the accent problem. So he recommended his sister Cui Jinxia to go, Cui Jinxia and her husband went to Tianjin with the whole family, her husband's name was Guo Changyi, Guo's fast book was taught by Jin Wensheng, and Guo Changyi later visited Hou Baolin at xiangshengmen.
Guo and Cui also had two sons, one named Guo Qiulin and the other named Guo Donglin. Among them, Guo Qiulin's cross-talk master is Hou Yaowen.
Fifth, willow dark flowers meet acquaintances
In 1956, Jin Wensheng had a brother-in-law, An Heshun, who fell ill in the northeast, and he invited Jin Wensheng to the northeast Jiamusi to help him perform on stage. Jin Wensheng got on the train and made money in Cangzhou, but he did not expect that his wallet was stolen when he got on the train again. Jin Wensheng fell into an embarrassing situation for a while.
Fortunately, Jin Wensheng got off the bus in Tianjin and took the money to go to the bird market to sell art to earn travel expenses. Just walked to the Baiming Tea House, I saw that the water sign read "Wang Fengshan", but at that time, there were many artists called Fengshan, and he further inquired to confirm that this was the acquaintance Wang Fengshan.
It was equivalent to Wang Fengshan inviting Jin Wensheng several times without success, and a thief sent Jin Wensheng to Wang Fengshan.
Vi. Ma Sanli laid the foundation for the master and apprentice in one sentence
At this time, the big names of the Tianjin Radio Qu Art Troupe gathered, Zhang Shouchen, Ma Sanli, Chang Baoting, Li Runjie, su Wenmao were all here, but there was a lack of a fast book here, and the previous fast book artist Fu Yongchang just left. So Wang Fengshan recommended Jin Wensheng.
The qu art troupe invited most of the actors of the troupe to experience the life, Jin Wensheng was 26 years old at this time, not very old but had good performance experience, he said a piece of "Wusong Rush" as a live test program.
When it was everyone's turn to give their opinions at the end of Jin Wensheng's performance, Ma Sanli was the first to stand up: "I think he is stronger than Fu Yongchang." Others also said good things about his leadership, and Zhang Shouchen praised Jin Wensheng as a twenty-year-old and fifty-year-old art. In the end, Jin Wensheng successfully entered the Tianjin QuYi Troupe, and he was an actor in the Tianjin Quyi Troupe until his retirement and death.
It is said that the fate of Jin Wensheng and Tianjin still has to thank Ma Sanli, who was the first to stand up and affirm him, and this sentence also made Jin Wensheng's future name and identity change.
7. Brothers and friends eventually become masters and apprentices
After Jin Wensheng joined the troupe, he continued to call King Kong at first, until one day he went to the performance and saw that there was no name on the water sign, but there was a man named Jin Wensheng who said fast book. He was immediately confused: "Who is Jin Wensheng?" A performance I said fast book he also said, how to act. ”
The steward told him directly: "You are Jin Wensheng, Wang Fengshan said that you are his apprentice, his son is called Wang Wenyuan, and your big apprentice is called Jin Wensheng." ”
It turned out that the Tianjin Qu Art Troupe wanted to give King Kong a hukou, because he came in the name of Wang Fengshan's apprentice at the beginning, so when he went to the hukou, he simply officially reported a new name, Jin Wensheng.
Considering that he had indeed studied Allegro with Wang Fengshan, and almost worshiped the teacher under the mediation of Sun Shaolin, Jin Wensheng accepted this new name and identity, and since then he has officially become Wang Fengshan's big apprentice.
A few years before Wang Fengshan's death, Jin Wensheng reported that he had recorded ten masterpieces for funding, including "Double Lock Mountain" that the two of them "stole". After Wang Fengshan's death, Jin Wensheng sold Wang Fengshan's Allegro to the museum through Huang Hong's father, and all the thousand yuan he received was given to Wang Fengshan's family.
Wang Fengshan has been more honest and loyal all his life, Jin Wensheng is relatively young and vigorous, and the combination of the two masters and apprentices and brothers is also a good match.
