He Xiangdong said to Hou Sanye: "Is this really possible?"

He Xiangdong followed the art troupe to run a large-scale performance on the western front for three months, and his real purpose was to accumulate some qualifications for himself, make contributions to the troupe, and then he could get more resources and opportunities.

According to He Xiangdong's original idea, it would be very good for him to be on TV a few more times, and it would be great if he could go to the Quyuan Miscellaneous Altar once, but he never thought that Hou Sanye would open his mouth to be the Spring Festival Gala.

The Spring Festival Gala is too important for an artist, and the stakes are too great, he can imagine the coming storm.

Third Master Hou looked at He Xiangdong and said with a smile: "Scared?"

He Xiangdong shook his head and said, "That's not it, I'm mainly worried about your bad reputation." ”

Hou Sanye took out another cigarette and lit it, he felt that his addiction to smoking during this period of time was getting bigger and bigger, and one pack a day was not enough to smoke, but there were so many troubles that he was very irritable if he didn't smoke.

He lit a cigarette and swallowed the clouds: "That's it for my life anyway, I can't go up any further, I'm over fifty this year, and it's time to pass the age of striving for fame and fortune." ”

Hou Sanye had a cigarette in his mouth, looked at He Xiangdong with a frown, and said with a heavy face: "That's it for me in my life, and the level is just like that, not as good as those artists, but everything I can get now is all given by cross talk." ”

"Whether it's the current salary, position, reputation or status, everything is given by cross talk. At this age, it's time to do something for the industry. Now the cross talk industry is also sluggish, no one wants to listen to cross talk, and young people don't want to learn this traditional art, so it's not okay to go on like this. ”

"It's rare that you have this heart for cross talk, and you also have high artistic attainments, and you are still so young, I really want to hold you up, so that people in and outside the industry can see that cross talk is still alive, as long as there are young people like you who are willing to learn cross talk well, then cross talk will be alive and will live very well. ”

"As for being scolded, heh, if you want to scold, you can scold, how can an artist not be scolded, as long as more young people are willing to learn cross talk, it will be worth it for me to be scolded. Don't worry about me all the time, saving cross talk is not your business alone, it's the business of all our cross talk artists, if I still care about being scolded or not, and I don't even have this responsibility, then I don't deserve to be a member of the Hou family anymore. ”

He Xiangdong's eyes were a little red, and he pursed his lips tightly and couldn't speak.

There are three major families in the cross talk world, the Ma family and the Hou family, there is no stronger than the Hou family when it comes to responsibility, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, all literature and art have to serve New China, there are a lot of dregs of the old era in cross talk, which need to be modified, if you don't change, cross talk will be over in that era.

Back then, not many people were willing to change this, and most of the artists who came from the old society were out of school and didn't even know the words, who could come to this.

And it's all old toys that everyone is used to, and many people won't say it if they change it rashly, and there were a lot of opinions at that time. One is that it won't change, and the second is that it doesn't want to change.

At that time, there were many famous cross talk artists, but no one dared to stand up and take the lead, and it was a great achievement to change it, but if it was messed up, it would become a sinner through the ages, and he would be scolded by someone poking his backbone.

It is also in this context that the old marquis took the initiative to stand up and take the lead in the reform of cross talk, contacting the famous artists in the literary world of the year, such as Mr. Lao She and others, to transform the traditional cross talk. Later, a cross talk reform group was also established, and the old jokes in the past should be changed, and those that can't be changed are directly banned.

This is very easy to say, but it is too difficult to do, some jokes do not meet the publicity needs of that time, but these jokes are the famous works of some cross talk artists, almost every performance audience asks him to come to this section, this is the lifeblood of people, you are now banned from people, what do you do with people?

So the old marquis did this under great pressure back then, and there was no way not to do it, someone in the cross talk world had to come out under pressure to take responsibility, and the old marquis resolutely stood up.

After reforming the traditional cross talk, the old marquis and a group of cross talk actors wrote a new cross talk in the new social period, and brought the cross talk to the elegant hall, and was also received by the national leaders many times, so that all those who speak cross talk can enter the quyi troupe, eat national food, and be a people's artist, and are no longer the ninth-rate artists at the same level as prostitutes back then.

So why is it that as long as the old marquis is mentioned, the first word that pops up in everyone's mind is the master of cross talk, the word master is not something that can be given casually, let alone like later generations, just learn cross talk for three or five years, and the media will dare to crown the master on the head of this goods.

Those who have not made a splash of contributions to the industry shall not be respected as a master. Even if you say that your cross talk is invincible in the world, it can only be a cross talk master, and the master is more of a cross talk artist's highest evaluation in art, and the master is an honorific title for his contribution to the entire industry.

This is the responsibility of the Hou family, including the personal disciple of the old Hou Ye, Mr. Ma Ji, he raised the banner of praise in the 60s, not only in that era, but even now, Mr. Ma Ji is still being scolded by insiders and outsiders.

Many people say that cross talk is a satirical art, but you have made it into the art of sycophancy, putting the cart before the horse, it is simply a shame in the cross talk world. Mr. Ma Ji is the person who carries the banner in today's cross talk industry, but many people are scolding him, saying that he has carried the banner off the rails and led everyone to the crooked road.

There are all kinds of criticisms. Regardless of whether the praise type cross talk is the essence of cross talk for the time being, this kind of cross talk allowed cross talk to survive in that most difficult period.

In that turbulent era, all artists were persecuted, operas were no longer allowed to perform, and artists were decentralised and reformed, and they fled and were injured.

It was also in that era that Mr. Ma Ji carried the banner of cross talk, so that the singing cross talk could still be performed in the most difficult period, so that the cross talk did not break the foundation of the performance.

Of course, he knows what he will usher in when he stands up, whether it is inside or outside the industry, or even the folk audience, he may spit on him more than once, because there were too many people in that era who had to be unavoidable. But he still stood up, stood up against all the pressure, for the sake of cross talk.

At the beginning of the Xiangwen Society, Director Xu of the District Cultural Affairs Bureau asked He Xiangdong what he thought of Mr. Ma Ji, and He Xiangdong did not hesitate to say that this was a master in the true sense of the word.

Here's why.

After the glorious period of cross talk in the 80s, the cross talk industry was already in a recession at the end of the 90s, and it was under this background that the third son of the old Hou Ye, the real Hou family, also decided to stand up, he wanted to push He Xiangdong out under pressure and try his best to save the decline of cross talk.

It is not surprising that Hou Sanye can do such a thing, because he is the Hou family, and he should have such a responsibility.

Abandon those cross talk masters touted by the media, if there is another generation of masters in the real sense of the cross talk industry, it must be the one who will save and revive the cross talk that has been destitute, so that all those who speak cross talk can live a good life by talking about cross talk.
