[Edit this paragraph] Life experience

Ma is a famous performing artist and crosstalk master deeply loved by the public. I study in Tianjin Huiwen Middle School. After graduating from junior high school, I dropped out of school to speak crosstalk because my family was poor. Born in a family of Quyi, my grandfather Ma was a famous storyteller, who was good at telling The Water Margin and became famous for a while. Father Ma Delu is one of the "Eight Virtues of Symphony" and is also the pet and son-in-law of senior crosstalk artist Enxu. Mother En Cuiqing once learned to sing Beijing Rhyme Drum; Ma Guiyuan learned from Li Deyang, one of the eight masters of cross talk, and was famous for his performance of "Wen Ju" jokes. His family environment made him familiar with the art of cross talk since he was a child. Influenced by my father and brother, I have laid a solid foundation of speaking, learning, teasing and singing. From 65438 to 0930, he began to perform on the stage, made rapid progress in studying art and broadened his horizons. 12 years old, studied under his father, and later studied under the famous comic actor (nicknamed "Zhou toad", a classmate of Ma's father). After long-term artistic practice, it has formed a style of tight inside and loose outside, orderly, delicate and subtle, implicit and meaningful. Master Ma has a solid artistic foundation and enjoys a good reputation. He is good at performing "Guankou" and Wen Zhuang jokes, and has performed more than 200 traditional cross talks. He created, adapted and performed sixty or seventy new crosstalk programs. Over the years, he has trained many crosstalk performers, such as Yan Xiaoru, Ban Degui, Lian, Fang, Chang and Gao Xiaolin. Before liberation, he worked with Geng, Liu Kuizhen, Hou and others. 1947 boarded the Grand View Garden Theater in Tianjin, which was regarded as the entrance by the national rappers, and was very sought after by the audience. The following year, he came to Beijing for the third time, and performed in Huasheng Radio Teahouse Theatre, which caused an "atomic bomb explosion" sensation among folk art lovers with its unique style of Majia crosstalk. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Ma actively arranged new cross talks. 1950 at the invitation of the new theater, Ma returned to Tianjin Wei with a comeback, and established himself in the eyes of his peers and audience.

Since then, in the past ten years, Ma has had a smooth sailing, a good mood, a new system, a new life and everything is new. All this has brought him a new identity and status. He "turned over", from a "smelly artist" to a professional literary and art worker. Join the literary team of the condolence group to the DPRK and serve as the vice captain. He became the deputy head of the Municipal Quyi Troupe and was appointed as a member of CPPCC. He enthusiastically adapted and performed a new cross talk. He asked the comrades in the regiment to love the Party and the new China. He said, "The Party and the government have given us a unit, a formal job and the treatment of cadres. Every month,

However, 1958 arrived soon, the anti-rightist movement began soon, and Ma was quickly labeled as a "rightist". As for why he was labeled as a rightist, the mainstream view is that he adapted and performed "Buy a Monkey" and created a national famous careless and hard-working figure "Ma Daha". However, when 1979 was rehabilitated, it was found that there was no "Rightist" identification material in his file, just because the index increased from four at the beginning to 1 1, which was too much and had to be reported to make up the number. It is this "right wing" that completely changed everything about Ma Lisan. He also played and even jumped off a building, but it was useless. At an emergency meeting, he was forced into a hurry and shouted, "You are driving people to death!" " An old friend sneered twice and opened the window with a bang: "yo-ho, you still scare people with death?" "Well, if you are so angry, jump out from here, you have seed!" Without further ado, Ma Lisan suddenly stood up and jumped out of the window. Most of his body has been sticking out of the window. An artist who played Dan Xian at the dining table quickly reached out and grabbed the horse's foot, saving the horse's life.

At this point, the horse is already in his forties, in the prime of life. According to Ma Zhiming, it's time to live a good life and work hard. However, from the autumn of 1958 to the autumn of 1977 when he returned to the Municipal Quyi Troupe, Ma only talked about cross talk for three years during the period of 1 1, which corresponds to14 times of devolution of labor, and five years of making briquettes in the bullpen.

1970, in response to the evacuation of urban population, the Ma family left Tianjin and settled in Beizhakou Village in the southern suburbs. Recalling his life in Beizhakou, Ma Zhiming said: "At that time, six families were decentralized together, and then the policy was implemented. We were the last to leave. The house is broken, it is raining heavily, and the house is leaking inside and outside. My brother and I are sitting under an umbrella, and my parents are sitting on the threshold. When the rain stopped, I went to the city to find the Revolutionary Committee of Quyi Troupe, refused to come back, and transferred us to an empty house, where we lived for another two years. Later, the family raised forty chickens, two geese and a dog. Sunflowers, eggplants, cucumbers and beans are planted all around the yard. Ricinus communis can collect several sacks a year, so many eggs will fill the bath. When we are well-off there and implement policies, the elderly don't want to come back. "

In that ordinary village, Ma stayed for seven years, during which he even learned a very good carpenter's job. Ma Lisan, whether in the city or in the countryside, whether he was sent down or squatted in the bullpen, never forgot to swear. He practices almost every morning, and his kung fu is not in vain. As a skilled old artist, he always thinks about the stage and the audience who loves and admires him.

Tears for the audience several times

He is usually taciturn and rarely shows his feelings, but just after he became a rightist, he actually cried in public several times, and every time it was because of cross talk.

On the evening of March 30th, Ma was first sent to work in a commissary farm in the eastern suburb of Tianjin for two years. At the meeting of the farm that night, the leader suddenly announced that Ma was a rightist, and he could take off his hat and return to his old job. Ma Lisan shed tears on the spot.

The second time was on March 24th, 196 1. After being away from the audience for two years, Ma performed for the first time in the Tianle Quyi Hall above the Quanyechang. The stormy applause from the audience lasted for several minutes and could not be calmed down for a long time. In the face of the audience who had been away for more than two years and welcomed and loved him so much, he bowed to the audience frequently in his own way, and people finally calmed down. His throat choked and he said as calmly as possible, "Long time no see (a burst of laughter echoed in the meeting), I'm-ill!" As soon as the horse's voice fell, applause rang again, and unconsciously, two lines of tears welled up.

Ordinary evening scenes of crosstalk masters

After rehabilitation, Ma He, aged 20-50, put many unique skills such as Xijiangyue, article meeting, opening porridge factory and selling tickets on the stage again. What is particularly rare is that this old man has accumulated merits and demerits all his life without anyone's support, and has created and performed a series of popular stand-up comic sketches: Teasing You, Family Secrets, Checking Hygiene, Eighty-first Floor, Chasing and so on.

On the one hand, these short paragraphs combine the inherent characteristics of irony and humor in traditional cross talk, on the other hand, they have the characteristics of horse brand cross talk and have a strong market atmosphere. Therefore, once launched, it will last for a long time, forming another peak of horse art creation.

Maybe pessimistic, maybe more sober. Even if it is always surrounded by applause, it is always crowding round. After suffering, the horse has always kept a distance from the endless glory and aura. In applause, in the crowd, he said again and again: "I am not a master, not an artist." I am just an ordinary old artist who loves cross talk and likes to study cross talk. "

Under the background that the essence of traditional cross talk is misinterpreted without being fully absorbed and the industry atmosphere is becoming increasingly vulgar, the moral integrity of old artists can't help but make people feel sorry again and again:

"In the past few years, I have performed in theaters, schools, institutions, factories, troops and other places. , all through the tasks or voluntary performances assigned by the leaders of the advisory Committee. Gifts include photo albums, vases, mirrors, pen containers and so on. Some performances, nothing. Performing for Democratic Progressive Party, Armed Police, Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, People's Congress, Railway Station, Outer Ring Road, Renovation of Bungalows, Neighborhood Committee, covered electrode Factory, Ink Factory, etc., without any gift money or a penny. The Beijing comedian asked me out for a week, but I declined politely, and I had no organizational contact. I made a long distance call and asked me to go to Hong Kong and Singapore. My salary is Hong Kong dollars. I replied that I would not go for the time being. They sent another registered letter offering some treatment, but I didn't reply. A unit in Guizhou organized a performance and asked me to go by plane, and gave me a performance fee of 1000. The postman asked me to use my stamp to withdraw money, but I didn't accept money. Please return it to the address.

Every year on Children's Day, I am an off-campus counselor in five primary schools. On Children's Day, I will go to at least three schools to give speeches and tell stories, and the reward is to wear a red scarf.

I went to the nursing home in the south of Bali to give a condolence performance. I told four little jokes in a row, and the old people and grandmothers were very happy. Love to hear, don't let me talk, for fear that I am tired. I replied, not tired, as long as you are happy and in a good mood, I can come more often. There is an old man named Zhu who calls me third brother. He said, come to this place, too. There are many lonely old residents and grandmothers here. You can find someone. Trying to cheat me with a honey trap.

I take part in voluntary duty patrols of neighborhood committees, wear red armbands and walk around buildings and intersections to prevent bandits from stealing and maintain public order. I work shifts twice a month. Rain or shine, winter or summer, I won't miss work. Check the door lock of every household and whether the bicycle in front of the door is locked. If I supervise the parking at the intersection, the traffic police will not dare to let me be on duty at the intersection because I am blocking the traffic. "

In an ideological report probably written in the early 1980s, Ma described his true side in great detail over the years: "For twenty years, I didn't take the initiative to talk or shake hands with people. Everything is silent and indifferent. There is always a sense of inferiority in my heart. I have always refused to go to my relatives and friends' homes, to chat with my peers, and to take photos with anyone, lest others look down on me and discriminate against me. "

This is of course another sad description. However, what can comfort the old people is that another 20 years have passed. Just last year, Tianjin citizens voted for 65,438+00 local celebrities and erected statues for them in the waterfront for future generations to pay tribute to. Finally, they voted for Ma, an old man who has been talking cross talk for them all his life.

Say goodbye to the stage at the age of 89

In 2000, Mr. Ma was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Farewell performance in Tianjin on February 8, 200 165438. Ma Lao performed on the stage of Tianjin People's Gymnasium and gave a farewell performance for the audience who liked his cross talk.

Ma Lao was 89 years old at that time, and his admirers were everywhere. Making a good farewell performance for Ma Lao has also become a major event in the cultural field, especially in the phonology field. At that time, many celebrities in the national cultural circle and many famous artists in the phonological circle gathered in Tianjin. Zhao Zhongxiang and Ni Ping, famous hosts of CCTV programs, attended the forum. Celebrities in the entertainment circle include Ma Ji, Jiang Kun, Feng Gong, Huang Hong, Li Guangxi, Ma Yutao and Guo Song. In the program, Ma also performed a program for the audience.

Interesting hospitalization

During Ma's illness and hospitalization, in the ward, the old man always tells jokes to the medical staff and his son, daughter-in-law and grandson who accompany him, and the ward gives out happy laughter from time to time.

It is reported that on the day of horse labor operation, the medical staff were afraid that the old man would be nervous, so they said to him, "Ma Lao, don't be afraid. We all like to listen to your cross talk. I'll let you say' just kidding' to us later! " Ma Lao quickly waved and said solemnly, "Don't. This time, it's true. I'm not teasing you, and you shouldn't tease me. " The operation was very successful in a harmonious atmosphere.

During his stay in hospital, Ma Lao was visited by many people every day. One day, Ma Lao said to his eldest son, Ma Zhiliang, "Zhiliang, put a notice on the door of my ward." Zhiliang replied and was about to write "Don't disturb" or something, but the old man said, "Just write about selling flowers in this house." Zhiliang one leng, looked at the wards filled with bundles, pots of flowers, immediately understand, the old man is lying in bed "shaking" a burden.

testament

I am a crosstalk performer, ordinary party member. I serve the people with cross talk and jokes according to the requirements of the party. Leaders at all levels, hometown folks in Tianjin, have given me a lot of honor and care. I was also selected as "Tianjin Excellent party member", and my gratitude can't be expressed in words.

People always die. I have one last request, that is, please keep my funeral simple after my death. I don't want organizations at all levels to bother about me anymore. At the same time, I have many friends, students and disciples, so I don't send off my body, don't accept flowers, wreaths, elegiac couplets, and don't accept money or goods. I just want to leave my laughter to the people for life, but I can't give you any trouble and waste the country's money. I sincerely wish crosstalk prosperity, people's happiness and the country's prosperity.

[Edit this paragraph] Horses are of different generations

Speaking of cross talk, today's audience will think of Ma Ji and Feng Gong. In fact, Feng Gong is the same generation as Jiang Kun and Wei Liu. Their granddaddy was a horse, and his granddaddy was Hou. Ma Ji can only be regarded as their master. In the cross talk circle, there are strict rules about seniority. Nowadays, the popular saying is "moral longevity and civilization", and the old gentlemen with the word "moral" are all dead now; Only the well-known Mr. Ma has the word "longevity". Now that he is gone, the position known as the grandfather of the phonograph industry will be vacant; There are many outstanding figures in the word "Bao", such as cross talk master Hou. Although Hou has passed away, there are no more than 20 people in his generation in the country. The leader of the word "Wen" is Mr. Su, who is called "Wen" because of his name; There are many crosstalk performers in the next generation, mostly young and middle-aged actors who are now active on the stage. The famous crosstalk artist praised Ma Lao as the leader of crosstalk.

[Edit this paragraph] Recall the horse.

Ma Ji: 1985, I attended the Spring Festival Gala with Ma Lao. Before and after the performance, Mr. Ma Lao completely obeyed the Party.

Overall arrangement, repeated rehearsals, no extra requirements at all, and no "big shot" temper, especially after the performance, other cast members were busy with their own work, ignoring the old man, but the old man didn't care, just gently asked me, can we go? The staff reacted and said that they were very sorry and the old man didn't say anything. We can see the old man's mind from this incident. In the phonological world, his art, personality and morality should be the first, which makes people feel amiable and respectable.

Dai Zhicheng: I was admitted to Tianjin Quyi Troupe on 1978. At that time, Ma Lao was the oldest in the troupe, while Jian Zheng and I were the youngest. I remember once after the performance, I was quite proud. I met Ma Lao backstage, and I said, Teacher Ma, tell me about it. Ma Lao replied at that time that he was "yelling" and he often gave us advice in every performance in the future. Ma Lao also stressed that you should never learn from me when learning cross talk. You should create your own style according to your own conditions and tell the truth. There are some things that we really can't learn in Ma Lao. Anyway, Kung Fu is not at home. In the past few years with Ma Lao, every word that Ma Lao gave us advice was honed by him for decades. He can tell us without reservation that ordinary crosstalk performers can't do it.

Huang Hong: 1978, I went to Tianjin Art Troupe to perform and study. The first time I enjoyed Ma He's Pick Lines, I really felt the stage style of his old man's house. There are too many things in Ma Lao's cross talk. In addition to crosstalk skills, there are also characters flashing in it, and there are also gray humorous things. In today's society, people's hearts float. We spend half a year making a work, which will be exposed at a party and then discarded. Ma Lao's works are the accumulation of a lifetime, which can be handed down for generations after tempering.

Xie Tian: Ma's performance does not advocate shouting, but works hard at "teasing". Although his voice sounds like a normal speech, the audience are willing to make do with it. He can get the audience together, just like Yun Zheyue, with endless aftertaste.

[Edit this paragraph] Classic joke

Teasing you is a cross talk of Ma and one of Ma's most famous jokes.

This joke is a stand-up comedy, so it is not only a line, but also a narration with Tianjin flavor in Horse.

Pay attention to your own behavior, observe the traffic safety in traffic laws and regulations, and prevent fire from time to time and guard against theft at night. You think you live in a complex, and the community is fine; That won't do. You should pay attention. When you go out, don't put money in your coat pocket, put it in it. When you buy something, thieves should keep an eye on you. When you buy something, you will get a lot of money, but it is only a few dollars. The thief saw it, but the thief didn't write thief on his forehead You walk in front, he leans behind, your money is gone, and your hands are extremely fast. Change the house if something happens. When you walk from the first floor to the fourth floor, you will take your shoes and clothes at the door. Pay attention.

Especially in the frontispiece, there is no business, but residents and no yard. The coal stove is outside. If you wash some clothes, you have to tie a rope to dry the road. It says that this dress is often lost, and it is not from the yard. Close the door and go upstairs to the clothes drying table. The frontispiece has no position. Another sister-in-law in her thirties is hanging some clothes, but she is afraid of losing them. She can't always watch it outside. She has to work and cook when she goes back, so let the children watch! The child is too young, five years old, a fool is not stupid, smart or not, and has never done it.

I have learned, but I haven't learned yet. The baby looks at the door for a while, hangs clothes at the door, and watches the thief, so as not to let the thief get away. Call me when you see it. Do not move. If you need anything, call me. Old ladies come back to work, work and cook.

The child watched at the door, motionless and honest. The thief came and hung some clothes. How old are you? The child is five years old. Come on, tiger. Tiger, do you know me? I don't know. Let's play together. I'm teasing you. My last name is teasing you. Tiger, promise to call me. I'm teasing you. Tiger, ah, call me. I'm teasing you. Ok, great, I shouted and dragged my clothes down. Mom, I want to take my jacket. Who's joking? Look carefully. I took off my pants again. Mom, take our pants! who is it? I'm teasing you. This boy, I'll hit you later! Listen, don't shout. Then I took the sheets off. Mom, he's taking our bed. who is it? I'm teasing you. Be honest, boy, and I'll hit you later.

The child was still standing when I went out. When I saw that the clothes were gone, where were our clothes? Took it. Who took it? I'm teasing you. I'm just teasing you.

[Edit this paragraph] Social evaluation

During his long stage career, Master Ma experienced many difficulties and hardships. He unswervingly used cross talk as a weapon, satirized falsehood, hated ugliness, praised truth, goodness and beauty, worked diligently for the people and socialism, and enjoyed a high reputation at home and abroad. His family background, learning from others, connecting the past with the future, formed a unique artistic style, promoted the development of cross talk art, and was worthy of being a master of contemporary cross talk and humor.

The horse's cross talk can be said to be like the wind, eloquent, revealing, and natural, with a pleasing sense of relaxation from beginning to end. As for the unpredictable and amazing imagination of horses, it is even more amazing.

Through long-term artistic practice, Ma has formed a unique artistic style. He likes to perform in the first person "I", which is both the hero and the object of irony. Someone once commented: "He is the object of satire. Sometimes, although he pointed out his loopholes, he didn't comment publicly. He tried his best to make the satirized object alive and leave the criticism to the audience. The actor and the audience cooperate tacitly to achieve collective lyricism. "
