As the old saying goes, "a master and a disciple are like father and son." In the xiangsheng jianghu, there are masters and apprentices who turn against each other, and there are also apprentices who "jump the door" to change the court, but the vast majority of master-apprentice relationships are indeed the same as father and son. The apprentice worships the master, the master receives the apprentice, and once the master-apprentice relationship is established, it is a family. Ability is taught by the master, the rice door is also given by the master, and even the promotion of the predecessors of the peers is based on the face of the master, as an apprentice, what reason is there to dislike the master? Respecting the teacher and loving the apprentice has always been a fine tradition in the cross-talk industry and even in the entire music and art world.
How deep the feelings between the two masters and apprentices we talked about today are enough to confirm from the little things. These two were Gao Yingpei and his disciple Li Jiacun. In the past, cross-talk actors generally had stage names, such as little confused, big bear, little monster, big bread and so on. Li Jiacun does not have a stage name, but to say that "eat Ma Ma Xiang" no matter whether the peers or the audience do not know that it is Li Jiacun. This classic slogan from a few years ago has become synonymous with him.
In fact, compared with those doll legs from primary school art, Li Jiacun's art is quite late. At the age of thirty-four, he officially worshiped under Mr. Gao Yingpei. The friendship with the mentor benefited from the introduction of Li Jindou that year. When Li Jiacun first came to visit, Mr. Gao liked him very much, which can be said to be a joy for the people. After many contacts, Gao Yingpei decided to accept the apprentice. When discussing the issue of knowing, Gao Yingpei also specially instructed Li Jindou, who loved Zhang Luo, "I have to make a beautiful ceremony for him, and I have to invite Mr. Hou here." ”
Therefore, Li Jindou gave him an idea: "If you want to invite Master Hou to participate, it is best to take some gifts to see the old man, Mr. Hou loves to drink brandy." Gao Yingpei suddenly remembered that others had given him two bottles of brandy before, and quickly went under the bed to churn out the wine, and then asked Li Jindou to scrub the bottle clean. However, the wine is not packaged and does not look like it was bought. As a result, I found two bags from the food store and put them on, and this time it was like buying them. After making preparations, the two grandfathers carried wine and went to the house together to invite Hou Baolin.
Just arrived at the door of Master Hou's house, Gao Yingpei was still afraid that the old man would not agree, and he did not dare to go in, letting Li Jindou speak. After Hou Baolin asked the reason, he felt that this was a good thing to add people to the cross-talk industry. So he readily agreed, and also instructed: "Everyone of my generation will be invited." In this way, Li Jiacun's worship ceremony can be described as a bright star. Presided over by Li Jindou, Hou Baolin, Luo Rongshou and other famous cross-talk artists all attended the ceremony, and such a grand worship ceremony is rare in this line. It is not difficult to see from the matter of worshiping the master that Gao Yingpei has a heavy attachment and preference for this "elderly disciple".
After visiting the master, Li Jiacun regarded the master as a father, and the deep feelings between the two grandfathers were also as close as father and son. On the fourth day of the Chinese New Year in 2002, the news of Mr. Gao Yingpei's death suddenly came. At that time, Li Jiacun and others were participating in a performance event, and when they learned of this bad news, the backstage actors cried. At this time, Li Jindou comforted everyone: "Let's say that the crosstalk is the best remembrance of Mr. Gao." At the performance that day, Li Jiacun gave Liu Hongyi the traditional live "Wu Xiazi". In this piece of work, Liu Hongyi had to deliberately toss Li Jiacun, who accompanied him to play strings, holding a slightly impatient mood, patting the table and having to learn to pull strings.
Because the mood was too sad at that time, during the performance, Li Jia was unable to control himself on the stage, and desperately patted the table to vent his sadness. Learning to pull the strings also rose several times at once. As a result, halfway through the performance, the shooting force was too great, and the table was directly shot and scattered. The backstage pickers rushed up to move the bad table away. Speaking of half-cut cross-talk, it is rare to see those who run up to pick up the field in the background. Although there was a stage accident, the audience did not care, there was no table to say this paragraph down, the places that should be pointed had to come down, and the baggage that should be sounded was louder than usual. However, no one in the audience knew that At this time, Li Jiacun was suffering from the "pain of losing his father".
Li Jiacun, who has passed the age of flower armor, has also faded out of the cross-talk stage, but the teachings of his mentor Gao Yingpei during his lifetime have always been engraved in his memory. Whether it is a person or an artist, being able to have a mentor like Gao Yingpei on the road of life is undoubtedly the best gift of fate to Li Jiacun.
