Hou was wronged as a cross talk colleague! I didn't expect that I was unexpectedly taught by Hou.

Linguist Hou who pushed cross talk to civilization. After the founding of New China, he became an important member of the cross talk reformist school, advocated purifying the cross talk language, improving the traditional cross talk, improving the political and cultural level of the actors, and made outstanding contributions to the development of cross talk art in China. At the same time, he is also a crosstalk theorist and educator. After retiring from Zhongguang, he chose to fade out of the stage, devoted all his energy to the theoretical research and traditional arrangement of crosstalk, and raised crosstalk to the artistic level.

As an old crosstalk artist who left the land in the old society, Hou deeply felt the hardships and difficulties of crosstalk, and even more reluctant to let his children engage in this industry again. The youngest son, Hou Wenyao, is very talented and has been doing business since he was a child. From an early age, he could see that he ate this bowl of rice, but Hou, as his father, always disapproved of his cross talk. Even after Hou was admitted to China Railway Art Troupe alone and became a formal crosstalk performer, Hou never gave any guidance and help in the performance. Let the son understand and study everything by himself. Hou never dared to ask his father for help when writing a new book. Until a coincidence, he accidentally got the only verbal instruction from his father.

At that time, there was an old-timer in phonology. When listening to "Shandong" on the radio, I heard that the actor was not good at singing and his voice was a bit like Hou's. I thought it was him, so I ran to Hou to "complain". Mr. Hou is a man with strong self-esteem, and his face hangs up after hearing it. When I got home, I met Hou and interrogated him. "Today, someone came to me to complain to you. How did you make your works in Shandong dialect? " Hou heard a scratching his head, although unknown so, also dare not say more. So I quickly went back to the group to adjust the recording and check it again. It turned out that "Shandong Huang Er" was played by an actor who sounded very similar to himself, and it had nothing to do with him. After learning about this, he hurried home, and finally proved "innocent" and he had to ask for "rehabilitation."

Knowing what happened, they said that "Shandong Erhuang" was a traditional joke, and the two crosstalk performers sang it wrong. At this moment, Hou seized the opportunity and said, "Let's perform it again now. Why don't we tell you? It will be a shame for you to save going out in the future. " Before his father nodded, Hou He told this passage from beginning to end in front of Hou. In fact, before the end of the performance, Hou found that something was wrong with his performance. For example, when you pour Shandong accent, you can't fully grasp the characteristics of Shandong people's hard tongue roots, and it sounds stiff and unnatural to pour your mouth. There are also many problems in learning to sing Huang Er's singing and body movements.

So, after making an exception, I gave this passage word for word to both of them. When he met the place where he made his image, he personally demonstrated it to them again and again. Can you learn such a joke? Later, on the Spring Festival Evening of 1983, Hou He staged this "Family Story" program again, and their amazing singing skills won applause from the audience. Hou also regarded Huang Er as his masterpiece.

Mr. Chang Xianglin, a theorist of Quyi, believes that the new cross talk is divided into four parts, and then one of them can be monopolized. In his artistic career of more than forty years, Hou has formed a unique performance style, which is very different from his father Hou and even Hou Shi's cross talk. New life and old life are equal; There is no prejudice between Liu Huo and Shuo Xiang; The atmosphere and the punishment dog changed calmly.
