"The Mid-Autumn Festival in August is white, and the pedestrians on the road are desolate.

The small bridge is fragrant with osmanthus flowers, and I think about it day and night.

I can't be quiet in my heart, so I read the article early in the morning.

Ten years of hard work in the study, Fang Xiancai Gao Zhiguang. ”

This is a poem, the source of which is no longer verifiable, and it is not known who wrote it. I only know that cross talk actors often use this word as a finale when they talk about stand-up comedy, and according to rumors, this word was passed down by a cross talk predecessor surnamed Guo.

Everyone has been using it, this word is very ingenious, the first word of each half of each sentence is a component of the word at the end of the first half of the sentence, and the pronunciation of the whole poem is also very ingenious, the logical accent is progressive, very suitable for stand-up comedy set poems.

He Xiangdong often uses this set poem when he is talking about stand-up, and because He Xiangdong often uses it, this poem is quite popular.

I don't usually feel much when I read it, but now that He Xiangdong is going to go abroad for a tour, it will have a different taste when I read it again.

"Ten years of hard work in the study, Fang Xiancai Gao Zhiguang. "Isn't this He Xiangdong's Xiangwen Society, ten years of hardship, and finally ushered in today's attention.

04 is He Xiangdong's turning point, because He Xiangdong and Xiangwen Society became popular in Beijing in 04, and then he has been popular until now.

09 is also a turning point for He Xiangdong, Xiang Wenshe encountered a catastrophe this year, but fortunately survived safely, and was reborn.

Now that they have successfully performed overseas commercial performances, they have taken an unprecedented step in the history of traditional cross talk, and they are about to open a new chapter to the literary society.

09 is destined to be an extraordinary year.

Now that traditional art is in decline, Xiang Wenshe's move is undoubtedly very encouraging, so He Xiangdong and Xiang Wenshe are also called "the last glory of traditional art" on the Internet.

……

Beijing International Airport.

Today is the day when Xiang Wenshe went to San Francisco, the core actors who participated in the commercial performance are all there, and a few people from the administrative team of Xiangwen Society are also following, and the people from Huantian Media are also there.

Today is a big day for Xiangwen Society, it can also be said to be a big day for the cross talk industry, and it can even be said to be a big day for traditional opera.

The waiting hall of the airport is also crowded with people who come to see them off, including some children from Xiangwen Society, some seniors in the cross talk industry, and some reporters and media, of course, those lovely fans of Xiangwen Society.

He Xiangdong and his party walked slowly, they followed behind, and there was a security check in front, He Xiangdong stopped.

He Xiangdong turned around and said to the people behind him: "Everyone, it's sent here, and we're going to get on the plane too." Thank you for sending me, and I will definitely live up to the name of our Chinese art. ”

Everyone bowed their heads slightly, and they offered parting words one after another.

The seniors who were familiar with He Xiangdong were also there, Mr. Shi, Chu Cheng and others were here, and Gao Bingsheng was also there, but Gao Bingsheng didn't say anything.

He Xiangdong also said a few words of farewell to them.

A reporter asked, "Teacher He, let's say a few words before leaving." ”

Hearing this, He Xiangdong turned his head to look at the reporter, many people were looking at him, and He Xiangdong suddenly became a little distracted.

At this moment, He Xiangdong suddenly felt that his mood had changed somewhat.

In the 30s of the last century, it was the Republic of China period. After the Opium War, China was opened by the great powers with artillery fire, and the history of humiliation in modern times for a hundred years. At that time, China's economy, culture and politics were completely crushed by foreign powers.

So don't look at the many kinds of people who worship foreigners now, but in that era, it was too serious. Many people with lofty ideals even put forward ****, they think that only **** can save China.

Now there are many people who worship foreign countries, but who dares to say that they want to ****? But in those days, this idea was very popular, and they even wanted to replace Chinese characters with English.

Peking Opera, as a traditional Chinese art, naturally bore the brunt, and at that time, many cultural people were scolding Peking Opera for being backward and vulgar, and it should be immediately banned and replaced with foreign elegant music.

This is the same as scolding the three customs of cross talk of Xiang Wenshe, but fortunately, the national government now attaches great importance to traditional culture.

The artists of that year were originally a ninth-rate industry, and then they were scolded by so many so-called cultural people, and the artists took on a lot of pressure.

It was because of such criticism that Mr. Mei Lanfang decided to cross the ocean and bring Peking Opera overseas, so that foreigners could see whether Chinese art was vulgar or not, and let foreigners see whether Chinese art was charming.

Let those so-called forward-looking Chinese see whether Chinese Peking Opera is vulgar art or not, and let them see whether Chinese art is valuable.

For this ocean performance, Mr. Mei Lanfang took out all his family resources, accepted several sponsorships, and specially performed many public performances, which was enough to earn enough money to go abroad.

In the end, Boss Mei went abroad, and Chinese Peking Opera was generous in the United States, although Americans could not understand Chinese or understand Chinese Peking Opera, Mei Lanfang's name still resounded throughout the United States.

Although the United States was experiencing the largest economic crisis in history at that time, the ticket prices of Mei Lanfang's performance on Broadway were still fired by scalpers to break through the highest value in history.

Mr. Mei Lanfang is really worthy of a generation of celebrities.

When the news came back to China, the entertainment industry at that time was greatly invigorated, and all the artists felt that their waists were much straighter.

Who says Chinese art is inferior to foreign art?

Says who?

Not only the entertainment industry, but also the Chinese people at that time were excited and inspired by this news, which is a real raising of eyebrows.

Mr. Mei Lanfang's overseas performances were of great significance to China at that time.

Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Mei Lanfang was also awarded the title of People's Artist by the state, which is an artist.

Do you really think that just being an individual can be called an artist?

Back then, Mr. Mei went abroad on a ship in Shanghai, and now He Xiangdong takes a plane in Beijing.

Mr. Mei has successfully performed Peking Opera overseas, and He Xiangdong has also succeeded in holding crosstalk commercial performances overseas.

He Xiangdong is self-aware, he knows that he is not as great as Mr. Mei Lanfang, but at this moment, his shoulders are suddenly much heavier.

At this moment, he remembered very clearly what Zhang Kuoru told him, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Now he also understands the meaning of this sentence very thoroughly.

Now that traditional art is in decline, only Xiangwenshe's family is shining, and He Xiangdong feels that he has the responsibility and obligation to pick up this burden.

So when the reporter raised this question, He Xiangdong was distracted.

When he came back to his senses, He Xiangdong's state of mind was no longer the same, and He Xiangdong only thought about revitalizing the art of cross talk and developing Xiangwen Society.

Because he likes cross talk, he loves this art, and it is also because his master Fang Wenqi loves cross talk to the core, so he also has to fulfill this wish for his master.

He Xiangdong has love, paranoia, and narrow-mindedness in his heart.

Now love is still there, paranoia is still there, but narrow-mindedness is gone.

He Xiangdong's vision is no longer limited to cross talk and the Xiangwen Society, his eyes have seen the entire traditional art.

He wants to contribute to the development, revival and inheritance of traditional arts.

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world.

September 26, 2009, Beijing International Airport.

Because He Xiangdong thought of Mr. Mei Lanfang's feat back then, his mood also changed suddenly.

In the past, He Xiangdong's state of mind was the state of mind of an excellent cross talk actor, and to put it more broadly, it was the state of mind of a cross talk expert and cross talk master.

And now He Xiangdong is already in the state of mind of a master.

The master does not only refer to the level of art, but also to the responsibility he has to bear and the contribution he has to make.

At this moment, He Xiangdong is finally about to take a step towards a generation of masters.

He Xiangdong looked at the camera of the reporter asking questions, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes showed the firmness of being able to accept all rivers, and he said slowly and firmly: "There are many people on the Internet who call me 'the last glory of traditional art', sorry, I'm not." There is always hope for traditional art, and as long as the Chinese do not die, traditional art will never die. ”

He Xiangdong looked at the reporters present, looked at the seniors present, looked at the fans present, looked at the children of Xiangwen Society present, and looked at everyone present.

He Xiangdong's voice suddenly raised a few points, and he said aloud: "Xiang Wenshe went overseas to perform, this is not the end of traditional art, but a new starting point. I am to the east, I am to the literary society, at this starting point, waiting for you to move forward. Overseas, I will explore the way for you first, and I am waiting for the day when the brilliance of traditional Chinese art illuminates the world. ”
