Both are famous crosstalk masters, why is Ma Ji called the master of crosstalk, but Ma Zhiming is "unknown"?

Both are famous cross talk masters, Ma Ji is known as the master of cross talk, but Ma Zhiming is unknown. This is mainly because Ma Zhiming is relatively low-key, and Ma Zhiming's artistic achievements are far less than Ma Ji, so he is gradually being recognized by others. Forget.

In terms of cross talk skills alone, Ma Zhiming is slightly better than Ma Ji; but in terms of artistic achievements, Ma Ji can be said to be far superior to Ma Zhiming, otherwise no one would say that Ma Ji is the last cross talk master. Ma Zhiming, who is still alive today, is not mentioned at all. Therefore, in terms of artistic achievements, if Ma Ji is still 1 kilometer behind the cross talk master, then Ma Zhiming may be 10 kilometers behind. Ma Zhiming's cross talk skills surpass Ma Ji's

Ma Zhiming was born in 1945, while Ma Ji was born in 1934. Although Ma Zhiming is 11 years younger than Ma Ji, in terms of seniority, Ma Zhiming is Ma Ji's uncle. Because Ma Zhiming is Hou Baolin's junior brother, and Hou Baolin is Ma Ji's master.

Ma Zhiming was born in a crosstalk family. His father is Ma Sanli, a crosstalk master, and his grandfather is Ma Delu, one of the eight virtues of crosstalk. It can be said that in such a crosstalk family atmosphere, Ma Zhiming has better conditions than other crosstalk actors. Much better. As his father, Ma Sanli did not want Ma Zhiming to be a cross talk actor, so he sent Ma Zhiming to a theater troupe to learn opera. This is similar to Master Hou Baolin. His opera foundation gave Ma Zhiming a great advantage when making cross talk come alive. .

However, after the special era, Ma Zhiming still embarked on the road of cross talk. Ma Sanli was also his professor. Ma Zhiming can be regarded as the true inheritance of his father. Although he later became a disciple of the late Zhu Kuoquan, in terms of performance style , is still an authentic Ma family cross talk, but unfortunately due to Ma Zhiming's character problems, his partners Yang Shaohua and Xie Tianshun had cracks one after another. Ma Zhiming had no choice but to train Huang Zumin himself. As a partner, the two have performed many good performances so far. Crosstalk jokes, especially "The Big Bodyguard", are simply the ceiling for crosstalk actors.

Compared to Ma Zhiming, Ma Ji was a monk halfway. He was originally a worker and could only be regarded as a fancier at best. Later, he was spotted by Master Hou Baolin and fell into the China Radio Art Rap Group, and formulated With Guo Qiru, Hou Baolin, Guo Quanbao and Liu Baorui as teachers, it can be said that "one seedling in a thousand hectares of land", so Ma Ji, as a halfway monk, has the most luxurious teacher lineup in the cross talk world, but different teachers have different styles, and the professors He also had some reservations, so Ma Ji's cross talk skills are still weaker than Ma Zhiming's, especially some traditional cross talk performances. Ma Ji's artistic achievements far exceed Ma Zhiming

Although Ma Ji's traditional cross talk skills are weaker, his cross talk creative and adaption abilities are extremely strong. The "Ode to Friendship" he created and performed in a special era is almost that of that era. The only cross talk work that can be heard, and his subsequent works such as "Five Senses Strive for Merit" and "Universe Brand Cigarettes" are the ceiling of new cross talk works.

Some people say that Ma Ji can only speak praise-type crosstalk. In fact, this is far from the case. He also creates many satirical crosstalks, and they all come from life. They can be said to be an important part of the development of crosstalk, which is important for the expansion of crosstalk. The connotation of cross talk works plays an important role, and in this regard, Ma Zhiming is obviously not as good as Ma Ji.

Another contribution of Ma Ji to cross talk is to cultivate new people. He has trained a large number of new people, such as Jiang Kun, Feng Gong, Zhao Yan, Xiao Lin, etc. Cross talk Ma Jiajun can be said to be the representative of cross talk in the 1980s and even today. In contrast, Ma Zhiming is more focused on his own folk art. He simply does not accept apprentices and only teaches one Huang ethnic minority. So from this point of view, Ma Ji is far superior to Ma Zhiming.
