Chapter 60: The Third Master
"Chang...... Chang Sanye ...... "Fang Wenqi seemed to be a little incredulous, and his eyes were wide open.
Chang Sanye immediately ran over, grabbed Fang Wenqi's hand, and said excitedly: "Wenqi, it's really you, why are you old like this, I haven't dared to recognize it before." ”
Fang Wenqi was also excited, and said: "It's me, it's me, the third master, it's me, I didn't expect us to meet here." ”
"yes. Chang Sanye said excitedly: "The young man in my neighbor took his old man over today, and I also heard the old man say that he had someone here to talk about traditional cross talk, and he sang four joys at the beginning, I thought it was who, I really didn't expect it to be Wenqi you." ”
"It's me, Wenquan also came last time. Oh, by the way, this is an apprentice. Fang Wenqi hurriedly said to He Xiangdong: "Come, the child is called." ”
He Xiangdong was very well-behaved and shouted loudly: "Chang Sanye is good." ”
Chang Sanye also laughed heartily.
Fang Wenqi said angrily: "Third Master Chang This is people's name in the rivers and lakes, what do you call a child nonsense, just call Grandpa Chang." ”
He Xiangdong went with the flow very much, shouted as soon as he said, and shouted again: "Grandpa Chang is good." ”
"Good, good, good. Chang Sanye replied again and again.
Fang Wenqi said again: "Third Master, this is not a place to talk, let's change places and talk slowly." ”
"Good. Chang Sanye responded.
Fang Wenqi and He Xiangdong quickly changed their clothes, and went to a small restaurant near the theater with Chang Sanye, asked for a few side dishes, and a pot of old wine to eat.
This Chang Sanye is the third son of Mr. Chang Lian'an of the Chang family in the cross talk world, and he is also the third brother of Little Mushroom, whose stage name is Three Mushrooms. Fang Wenqi once talked about cross talk in the Qiming Tea House of the Chang family, and he has a deep friendship with the Chang family, and he has known Chang Sanye for many years.
In fact, in terms of age, Fang Wenqi's age is older than Chang Sanye, but when it comes to seniority, Fang Wenqi wants to call others uncle, and they are the predecessors of the Baozi generation.
This is because when Fang Wenqi first learned art from his master, his master did not worship his master, which is not recognized in the cross talk world, and your name will not be recorded in the cross talk family tree.
Fang Wenqi's earliest master was like this, there were many teachers who taught them, but there was never a single apprentice, and it was also when it was about to be liberated that Fang Wenqi's master worshipped a senior of the Shouzi generation as a teacher, which can be regarded as having a portal.
In fact, the seniors of the Shouzi generation are actually not very good at the artistic level, that is, the apprenticeship is high in the early years, and he later changed his career to business, and he said very little cross talk, and his reputation is not big, and there is not much to teach Fang Wenqi's master and apprentice.
This pair of masters and apprentices mainly rely on their own efforts, just like Fang Wenqi is asking a lot of old-timers about art, he has learned a lot of miscellaneous and extensive learning, Lao Chang Ye has taught Fang Wenqi a lot of things at the beginning, and he is still accepting the invitation of others.
At the wine table, the two elderly people had a good time, He Xiangdong didn't care so much, he just buried his head in eating, this child is a person who can't walk when he sees food.
Chang Sanye said: "Wenqi, we haven't seen each other for more than twenty years. ”
Fang Wenqi nodded and said, "It's been so long, I haven't seen you for decades, everyone is old, alas, ......"
Chang Sanye also smiled and said: "When you are old, you are old, who can not be old, but Wenqi, you are not old-hearted, and you have accepted such a little disciple at this age." ”
Fang Wenqi also glanced at He Xiangdong, who was eating, and showed a smile of relief, and said: "When I first saw this child, he was still asking for food on the street, it was a bunch of old scum who abducted and then controlled them, and then I saved this child with a kind heart, I really didn't expect Master Zu to really appreciate this child's food." ”
Chang Sanye also nodded and said: "I also listened to your cross talk in the audience just now, what you said is really good, this child really has the demeanor of my eldest brother when he was young, and he will definitely be a good character when he grows up." ”
Fang Wenqi hurriedly said: "Ouch, you are too polite, how can this kid be compared to Uncle Chang." ”
Chang Sanye smiled, and didn't argue much about this issue.
He Xiangdong looked up at the master and then at the third master, but he didn't intervene, and buried his head in eating again.
Chang Sanye said: "Baofeng, Baohua and they are also in Tianjin, I will definitely call them all when I have time, let's get together a few brothers, you haven't seen each other for decades." ”
Fang Wenqi just smiled, there was a little more helplessness on his old face, and said: "I haven't seen you for decades, but I'm really embarrassed to see those old acquaintances anymore." ”
Chang Sanye was silent for a moment, sighed, and said, "Wenqi, don't blame the government, this is also the special situation back then......"
Fang Wenqi interrupted: "Third master, I have never blamed the government, really, in a general sense, without New China, we artists will always be popular in the lower nine years, and we will always be looked down upon, how can we have our current status." I was just...... Just a little ...... I don't want to......"
Chang Sanye looked at Fang Wenqi very seriously, and said: "Wenqi, this is all due to the special environment back then, and now the country is slowly paying attention to these old things, and there are many people calling for the salvation of traditional arts." Take our cross talk industry as an example, there is a piece of information within our quyi troupe, which is the traditional cross talk encyclopedia, which collects a lot of old jokes and good jokes. ”
"Really. Fang Wenqi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Chang Sanye nodded.
"So how many young people are in school right now. Fang Wenqi asked again.
Chang Sanye was silent, because no one learned it at all, and this was just circulated internally as a material, and there were very few jokes that were really taught in the class.
Young people don't like to learn, and there are even a considerable number of cross talk actors who reject these traditional jokes very much, thinking that they have picked up the dross that the old gentleman threw away again, and there is also a lot of internal opposition.
In fact, this information is indeed not very useful, at that time, including in the years that followed, the mainstream voice was that traditional art must continue to change with the development of the times, to conform to the trend of the times, and if it can't keep up with the trend, it will be eliminated, and the current audience doesn't like to listen to those old-fashioned things, and art must be the trendsetter of the times. In fact, the audience never said that they didn't like to listen to these old-fashioned things, but some cross talk actors had to say so.
This situation lasted for many years, until He Xiangdong's birth broke this argument.
Seeing that Chang Sanye was silent, Fang Wenqi also smiled bitterly and poured another sip of wine.
Chang Sanye also took a sip and asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”
Fang Wenqi said: "Let's continue to talk about cross talk in this theater." ”
Chang Sanye said: "But your venue seems to be very unprosperous, and there are very few audiences." ”
"I'm going to make it more and more, and I'm going to prove that traditional cross talk isn't dead. Fang Wenqi's eyes glowed with dazzling brilliance.
