Cross talk is mainly for the audience, and there is an audience. You can't help but get excited due to the stimulation of laughter," Li Zengrui said to us with a smile.

Li Zengrui talked about the tacit understanding between him and Wang Qianxiang like this: "I have been fond of cross talk since the second and third grade of elementary school, and started talking about cross talk in school. At that time, there were no conditions, so I found a book to read by myself. Or listen to the radio or something. In August 1960, Qianxiang and I were admitted to the Beijing Folk Art Troupe class at the same time. The late veteran artists Wang Changyou and Tan Boru served as the first teachers, and later became Mr. Ma Ji's disciples. *The same pursuit has connected Qianxiang and me. It can be said that our relationship has been going on for forty-five years.”

Many actors are tired when they go out to perform. They would choose to rest, but Li Zengrui and Wang Qianxiang often go to the book market. "Both of us like to read books. Wang Qianxiang likes to read all kinds of books, which are more miscellaneous. I often read some calligraphy books, and sometimes I practice calligraphy when I have nothing to do. It's purely It's just for fun. Don't tell me, it's very helpful for performance. Sometimes you can figure out some tricks by analogy." After talking about cross talk for so many years, Li Zengrui first mentioned "Changing the Packaging". " and "Dialect Foreign Language", he said: ""Dialect Foreign Language" was created by ourselves, and it was also an 'embarrassing' thing, because it was more popular to learn English in the 1990s. At that time, it was popular for a Shandong person to learn to speak English. The joke inspired us to write this joke. We liked it very much, and the response from the audience was pretty good.
