Chapter 986 The transformation of the master
"The white dew is white in Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and the pedestrians on the road are desolate.
The flowing water and osmanthus flowers on the small bridge are fragrant, and I think about it day and night.
I can’t be at peace in my heart, so I read the article early in the morning.
Only after ten years of cold and hardship are in the study can one show that one has a high talent and ambition is great.”
This is a poem, and its source is no longer verified, and I don’t know who created it. I only know that crosstalk actors often use this word as a final poem when talking about stand-up crosstalk. According to rumors, this word was passed down by a crosstalk predecessor named Guo.
Everyone has been using it all the time. This word is very clever. The first word of each half of the sentence is a part of the word at the end of the first half. The pronunciation of the whole poem is also very clever. The logical accent is progressive layer by layer, which is very suitable for a final poem for stand-up crosstalk.
When He Xiangdong talks about stand-up words, he often uses this final poem. Because He Xiangdong often uses it, this poem is quite popular.
I don’t feel that I read Nian Nian very much, but now He Xiangdong is going abroad for a tour, so it will be a different flavor when I read it again.
"Ten years of cold and bitterness are in the study, and only then can we show our talent and broad ambitions." Isn't this talking about He Xiangdong's Xiangwen Society? Ten years of cold and bitterness have finally ushered in today's attention.
O4 was the turning point for He Xiangdong, because He Xiangdong and Xiang Wenshe became popular in the capital in O4, and he has been popular until now.
o9 is also the turning point for He Xiangdong. Xiang Wenshe suffered a great disaster this year. Fortunately, he survived safely and was reborn from the ashes.
Now they have successfully performed overseas commercial performances, and they have taken an unprecedented step in traditional crosstalk, and have opened a new chapter in Xiangwenshe.
o9 years are destined to be an extraordinary year.
Now that traditional art is declining, Xiang Wenshe's move is undoubtedly very inspiring, 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 goes to San Francisco. All the core actors participating in the commercial performance are here. Several people have followed Xiang Wenshe’s administrative team, and Huantian Media’s people are here.
Today is the big day for Xiangwen Club, it can also be said to be the big day for the crosstalk world, or even the big day for traditional folk art.
The airport waiting hall is also filled with people coming to see off, including some children from Xiangwenshe, some seniors from the crosstalk industry, and some journalists and media. Of course, those cute Xiangwenshe fans are also inevitable.
He Xiangdong and his group walked slowly, and they followed behind, with security checks ahead, and He Xiangdong stopped.
He Xiangdong turned around and said to the people behind him, "Everyone, we're here to send it, we're going to board the plane. Thank you for sending you off. I, Xiang Wenshe, will definitely not be humiliating our reputation as Chinese art."
Everyone nodded slightly and offered farewell words one after another.
The seniors who were familiar with He Xiangdong were also here, Mr. Shi, Chu Cheng and others were here, and Gao Bingsheng was also there, but Gao Bingsheng didn't say anything.
He Xiangdong also greeted them a few words before leaving.
A reporter asked, "Teacher He, let's go."
Hearing this, He Xiangdong turned his head to look at the reporter. Many people were watching him. He Xiangdong suddenly felt a little confused.
At this moment, He Xiangdong suddenly felt that his mood had changed a little.
In the 1930s, it was the Republic of China period. After the Opium War, China was opened by artillery fire by the great powers, and a century of humiliation history in modern times. In that era, China's economy, culture and politics were completely crushed by foreign powers.
So although there are many people who admire foreigners now, it was too serious in that era. Many people with lofty ideals even proposed to give up on the ***, and they believed that only **** could save China.
Nowadays, many people admire foreigners, but who dares to say they want to be a ****? But in that era, this idea was very popular, and they even wanted to change all Chinese characters into English.
Peking Opera, as a traditional Chinese art, was naturally the brunt of it. At that time, many cultural people criticized Peking Opera for being backward and vulgar, and should be banned immediately and replaced with elegant music from abroad.
This is the same as the crosstalk of Xiang Wenshe, but fortunately the national government now attaches great importance to traditional culture.
The artists back then were originally a low-ranking industry, and then they were scolded by so many so-called cultural people, so the artists were under great pressure.
It was because of such criticism that Mr. Mei Lanfang decided to travel across the ocean and bring Peking Opera overseas, so that foreigners could see whether Chinese art was vulgar and whether Chinese art was charming.
It also allows those so-called Chinese people with a forefront to see whether Chinese Peking Opera is vulgar art and whether Chinese art is valuable.
For this ocean-going performance, Mr. Mei Lanfang took out all his assets, accepted several sponsorships, and performed many public performances, which made him enough money to go abroad.
Finally, Boss Mei went abroad and Chinese Peking Opera was brilliant in the United States. Although Americans could not understand Chinese or read Chinese Peking Opera, Mei Lanfang's name was still resounding throughout the United States.
Although the United States was experiencing the biggest economic crisis in history at that time, Mei Lanfang's performance ticket price on Broadway was still hyped up by scalpers to break through the historical highest value.
Mr. Mei Lanfang is truly a famous actor.
The news came back to China, and the entertainment industry was greatly boosted at that time, and all the artists felt that their backs were much straightened.
Who says that Chinese art is not as good as foreign art?
Who said it?
Not only the entertainment industry, but also the Chinese people at that time were also excited by the news. This was truly proud.
Mr. Mei Lanfang's overseas performance was of great significance to China at that time.
So after the founding of New China, Mr. Mei Lanfang was also awarded the title of People's Artist by the state, and this is the artist.
Do you really think that someone can be called an artist?
Mr. Mei took a steamship in Shanghai when he went abroad, but now He Xiangdong took a plane in Beijing.
Mr. Mei successfully performed Peking Opera overseas, and He Xiangdong also successfully held a crosstalk commercial performance overseas.
He Xiangdong knew that he was not as great as Mr. Mei Lanfang, but at this moment, his shoulders suddenly became much heavier.
At this moment, he remembered the words Zhang Kuoru said to him very clearly, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Now he also understood the meaning of this sentence extremely thoroughly.
Now that traditional art is declining, only Xiangwenshe is shining brightly. He Xiangdong feels that he has this responsibility and obligation to shoulder this burden.
So when the reporter asked this question, He Xiangdong was in a daze.
When he came to his senses, He Xiangdong's mood was different. In the past, He Xiangdong only wanted to revitalize the art of crosstalk and to show the Xiangwen Club.
Because he likes crosstalk, he loves this art, and also because his master Fang Wenqi loves crosstalk to the core, he also wants to fulfill this wish for his master.
He Xiangdong has love, paranoidness, and narrow-mindedness in his heart.
Love is still there, paranoia is still there, but narrowness is gone.
He Xiangdong's vision is no longer limited to crosstalk and Xiang Wenshe family, his vision has seen the entire traditional art.
He wants to contribute to the exhibition, rejuvenation and inheritance of traditional art.
If you are poor, you are good at coordinating yourself; if you are rich, you will help the world.
2oo9 September 26, Beijing International Airport.
Because He Xiangdong thought of Mr. Mei Lanfang's feat back then, his mood suddenly changed.
He Xiangdong's mood in the past was the mood of an excellent crosstalk actor. To put it more broadly, he was the mood of a crosstalk expert and crosstalk master.
But now He Xiangdong is already in the mood of a master.
A master refers not only to his artistic level, but more to his responsibilities and contributions to his contribution.
At this moment, He Xiangdong was finally about to step towards a generation of masters.
He Xiangdong looked at the camera of the reporter asking questions, his brows frowned slightly, his eyes showing the determination that he could accommodate all rivers. 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. Traditional art always has hope. As long as the Chinese do not die, traditional art will never die."
He Xiangdong looked at the reporters present, the seniors present, the fans present, the children of Xiangwenshe present, and everyone present.
