Crosstalk test: Hou Men's grievances and love, apprentice Shengjie
Crosstalk test: Shi Shengjie, a close disciple of Hou Men’s grudges, fifteenth
Shi Shengjie was born in a crosstalk family in Tianjin. His father Shi Shiyuan and mother Gao Xiuqin both made a living by speaking crosstalk. Shi Shengjie's family is also a troupe of folk performers. Both his parents are engaged in cross talk. His elder brother is a danxian artist from Shengli, and his younger brother Shi Shengyong is a Shandong Kuaishu artist. The eldest daughter of the two girls in the family, Shi Shengna, also had a background in cross talk and was once named one of the "Top Ten Laughing Stars in Heilongjiang". The second daughter, Shi Shengmei, learned to play single string.
Mr. Shi Shengjie’s wife Song Yan is a national first-class actress and is good at Shandong Qinshu. This shows that Mr. Shi’s family is a well-established folk art troupe.
In 1959, in order to support the art construction in Northeast China, the family moved to Harbin; Shi Shiyuan became the captain of the cross talk team of the Harbin folk art troupe. Shi Shengjie naturally came to Harbin with his parents. At that time, his parents went to the "Crosstalk Conference" to perform, and Shi Shengjie would also follow him. He also learned a lot of jokes from what he heard and saw. The audience also loved the little kid. When Shi Shengjie was 7 years old, his father took him on stage for a while. Many years later, Shi Shengjie talked about this appearance on stage and said: "The scene was so lively at the time. It's not that I said it well. It's just that everyone thought this child was too late. Shi Shiyuan's son was right."
When Shi Shengjie was 8 years old, under the arrangement of his father, he became his disciple Zhu Xiangchen. Let me explain, Zhu Xiangchen is a disciple of Zhang Shouchen, the sect leader of the Shouzi generation; however, Zhu Xiangchen was the first to study as a disciple of He Shouting outside Guan, but in order to make a living and not be crowded out, Zhu Xiangchen chose to jump out of the door and worship Zhang Shouchen instead.
Later he joined the Harbin Children's Palace Art Troupe and was one of the "Five Golden Flowers" of the art troupe. He performed for many big names.
At the end of 1965, the "Cross Talk Conference" stopped performing.
On September 28, 1968, my father committed suicide with hatred, and my brother became an "active counterrevolutionary."
In 1969, 16-year-old Shi Shengjie was forcibly "sent" to the Corps to go to the countryside. Because he failed to pass the political review, he was only treated as a "farmer" for labor reform. In seven years, all the farm work was done. It was a very painful time for Shi Shengjie to not be able to live the way he wanted, but he loved literature and art but had to do unfamiliar farm work. Later, Shi Shengjie said: "With this bowl of wine as the bottom, what else is there?" "Can't you handle this kind of wine?"
In 1975, by chance, he heard the cross talk "Ode to Friendship" by Ma Ji and Tang Jie Zhonghe on the radio. He told the people around him that this was called cross talk. He will also speak. As a result, he got the opportunity to perform in the corps.
In the Heilongjiang Provincial Arts Festival in 1976, Shi Shengjie and Jiang Kunhe performed the cross talk "Lin Hai Hongying", which received a strong response and left a deep impression on Ma Ji, the leader of the China Broadcasting Rap Troupe at the time. Ma Ji wanted to transfer them to a rap troupe, but Shengjie regretfully missed this golden opportunity due to political review issues; Jiang Kun got his wish and became a disciple of Ma Ji. Who would have thought that 8 years later, Shi Shengjie would become Jiang Kun's uncle. Life is always so funny, especially the life of a crosstalk actor, which is completely a joke. Shi Shengjie returned to Beidahuang sadly, but soon he was transferred to the Provincial Theater Folk Art Troupe and became a professional crosstalk actor. This year, he was 23 years old.
In 1978, his father and brother were rehabilitated, and Shi Shengjie regained his political life.
In 1981, Shi Shengjie won the first prize in the national folk art performance with "Mayor Hao". This year, Shi Shengjie married Song Yan, who also worked in a folk art troupe. Song Yan was later transferred to the Heilongjiang Provincial Art Institute and is a national first-class actor.
In 1984, Shi Shengjie participated in the National Crosstalk New Works Performance Competition with "Heart and Boldness" and won first prizes in both creation and performance. In Qingdao, where the competition was held, he became a disciple of Hou Baolin and became Master Hou's disciple. At the apprenticeship ceremony, Mr. Hou said: "I believe that with young people like Shi Shengjie inheriting our cross talk art, the development of cross talk art will not wait until 2000." Hou Baolin also took off a ring he had worn on his hand for many years and put it on the hand of this close disciple Shi Shengjie.
When Shi Shengjie was 8 years old, he studied under Zhu Xiangchen. Zhu Xiangchen passed away in 1973.
In 1984, Shi Shengjie jumped out of school to become a disciple of Hou Baolin. During this period, there was neither the problem of a young man who had lost his master and found a new master, nor the problem of being forced by life to change his apprenticeship to another master. That was the third problem: borrowing Man'er. Although he jumped out of the family, Shi Shengjie did enough in terms of human relations, never denied that he had two masters, and always commemorated his mentor Zhu Xiangchen, so his jump out of the family did not cause waves.
It is said that Hou Baolin went to great lengths to accept Shi Shengjie, who already had a master, as his disciple. He also asked Gao Yingpei, a famous crosstalk master who had a certain say in the Tianjin crosstalk circle at the time, to make peace with him. In this way, there is no longer any opposition in the crosstalk circles in Beijing and Tianjin. It is said that Hou Baolin also said something to Shi Shengjie: "I accept you for no other reason. Your master is gone (Zhu Xiangchen died in 1973), and your father has not survived (Shi Shiyuan died in 1968). You have to There is someone who will guide you and guide you." It is said that Shi Shengjie reported to the leaders of the Heilongjiang Provincial Folk Art Troupe about his intention to become a disciple of Hou Baolin. After discussion, the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Culture, the Provincial People's Broadcasting Station, the Heilongjiang Branch of the Music Association and the Heilongjiang Provincial Folk Art Troupe agreed. This matter was of great significance to the folk art industry in Heilongjiang Province, so the four departments jointly distributed invitations, inviting people from the folk art circle and the media to witness the ceremony of Hou Baolin closing his disciples. On that day, 20 tables were opened at the banquet, which was unprecedented in the history of cross talk. record.
Shi Shengjie said in a program many years later that the reason why Hou Baolin accepted him as his disciple even though he knew he had a cross talk master was because he wanted to make him a master. To this end, Hou Baolin also gave an example that drama has four lives and four beards, all of which have multiple masters.
In 1985, he was named one of the top ten laughing stars in the country.
In 1987, the cross talk "The Adventures of the Little Shoemaker" co-created by Shi Shengjie and Yuan Jianbang won praise at the first China Art Festival.
Shi Shengjie’s stage image is fresh and pleasing, and his basic singing skills are particularly good, forming a performance style with crisp words, sweet tones, and simple and natural performance. His representative works "Mayor Hao", "Heart-hearted", "The Adventures of the Little Shoemaker", etc. are widely circulated.
On September 28, 2018, Shi Shengjie died in Harbin at the age of 66 due to ineffective treatment. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but on September 28, 1968, Shi Shengjie's father, Shi Shiyuan, committed suicide out of hatred because he could not bear the torture.
Shi Shengjie is a humble gentleman who advocates "harmony without difference" and the crosstalk community in the world is one. He is not a MC, does not act in TV series, and does not shoot commercials. He doesn't want to let this tarnish his reputation. He is a person who cherishes feathers very much.
Accepted disciples Liu Tong, Zou Dejiang, Wang Min, Wang Gang, Hou Jun, Liu Wei, Wang Hai, Zhang Chong, He Shucheng, Zhou Wei, Ruan Hang, Chen Qiang, Li Jing, Chang Yuan, Min Tianhao, Jia Changsong , Li Ziting, Zhang Jianhong, Xu Tao and other 19 people. Among them, the eldest disciple Liu Tong is the second uncle of the second senior brother Huang Tieliang, Hou Jun is the son of Hou Yaohua, and Chang Yuan is the grandson of Chang Baohua. So many disciples of Shi Shengjie formed a "Shi Family Army".
Shi Shengjie had many adopted sons. Hou Yaowen said that all his disciples were adopted sons of Shi Shengjie. Those who held the ceremony include Chen Hanbai, Gao Xiaopan, Miao Fu and Wu Nan.
Shi Shengjie’s father, Shi Shiyuan (1920-1968), was also a famous cross talk artist. In 1943, he came to Yingkou from Tianjin to work as a worker, and later lived on the streets, learning to sing Taiping lyrics and making a living by performing arts. In 1946, he formally studied cross talk with Xi Xingsheng as his teacher, and then performed in various places in Northeast China. Shi Shiyuan later compiled and performed many traditional crosstalks, including more than 20 sections such as "Selling Cloth Heads", "Shandong Dialect", "Opening a Porridge Factory", "Geographical Map" and Taiping Lyrics "White Ape Steals Peach" and "Luo Cheng Fortune Telling" . He also actively writes and performs new cross talk, including "Hygiene Riddles", "Encyclopedia", "Yesterday's Barber", etc. In 1956, he performed in Harbin and joined the Harbin Folk Art Troupe and served as the captain of the cross talk team. On September 28, 1968, he committed suicide with hatred because he could not bear the torture during the Cultural Revolution.
Shi Shiyuan has created a large number of praise-type cross talk works: "The Working Class Fights Tigers", "The Glorious History of Chang Baokun" (Taiping Lyrics), "Sanitary Riddles", "The Dragon King Resigns", "Food Prevention for the Whole Family" and "A Family of Flood Prevention" "In Praise of the New Leader" "Encyclopedia" "Half Moon Sorrow" "Anti-Waste" "Top Ten Lucky Things" "Liu Hulan" "Yesterday's Barber" "My Hometown Has Changed" "Late Marriage Birth Control" "Visiting Harbin" "Opposition to Arming Japan" "The East Wind Overwhelms the West Wind", "Singing the Commune", etc.
Shi Shengjie was born in Tianjin, but he dedicated his whole life to the vast black land of Northeast China. The vast black land also brought him countless inspirations. Many of his classic works are It is based on Heilongjiang. Because of Shi Shengjie, Hou Men's cross talk flourished in the fertile land of Northeast China. Hou Baolin once said to him: "I hope that when I go to the Northeast in the future, there will be one of my students there." Shi Shengjie faithfully fulfilled his promise to his master and took root in the black soil of Northeast China throughout his life.
Living in a corner of the northeast, he has still achieved great achievements. It cannot but be said that Shi Shengjie is not outstanding, but this is still far from what Hou Baolin expected of him. Among all the disciples, Hou Baolin had the highest expectations for Yu Shiyou, right? After Yu Shiyou was imprisoned, Hou Baolin had been looking for new hope, and finally found Shi Shengjie. Hou Baolin would rather break the rules of the cross talk world than accept Shengjie as his disciple, and he also made the momentum huge.
Hou Baolin really loves Shi Shengjie so much!
