Artistic experience

Tang Jiezhong was born in a poor family in Beijing. On January 29, 1949, the 17-year-old high school student became a soldier when Beijing was liberated. Tang Jiezhong was still an old revolutionary before the founding of new China. When he went to the army, he became a literature and art soldier, played Allegro and did propaganda work. In the eyes of his comrades in arms, Tang Jiezhong has a generous character and works hard. At that time, the literature and art fighters were known as "revolution depends on legs but not mouth". From April to October 1949, they went step by step from Tianjin to Guangzhou, and they had to fight on the way. If you have a blister on your feet, you ask for a hair from a lesbian, put it on with a needle, pierce the blister, squeeze out the water, and walk on the next day until you finally get a cocoon under the blister. In Jiangxi Province, it rained seven days and seven nights. The road was only one foot and a half wide. There were mountain streams on this side and mountains on that side. It was very dangerous for everyone to walk on the mountain. Tang Jiezhong, with a horse, immediately carried the curtain he bought when he set out from Tianjin. It was even more difficult to go down the mountain. It was hard to walk empty handed. Tang Jiezhong had to drag the horse behind the horse and move it step by step. When he arrived in Guangzhou, the curtain was not wet at all and was well preserved. Tang Jiezhong made a great contribution to it, which is equivalent to the current first-class contribution.

In 1995, China quyi Artists Association, CCTV and China TV daily jointly sponsored the first national TV crosstalk competition of Hou Baolin golden statue award. Tang Jiezhong won the "Hou Baolin golden statue award". The gold award he won was produced by the masses in the voting activity of "your favorite eight famous contemporary crosstalk actors" which lasted for one year.

Besides performing, he also participated in literary creation. In addition to the crosstalk "the story of Liubao", the stand-alone crosstalk "Shenbing Tianjiang" and the crosstalk "the most in Chongqing" and "the most in Guangzhou" (both "the most" cooperate with Ma Ji), as well as the creation of some comments, jokes and small crosstalk, are scattered in the domestic newspapers and periodicals.

In 1982, 1984 and 1988, he performed in Hong Kong with Ma Ji, Hao Aimin and Jiang Kun. In 1986, he and Jiang Kun were judges of the Singapore cross talk competition. In 1987 and 1989, he went to Singapore to perform again. In September 1990, he co performed with Taipei Hanlin rap troupe in Hong Kong. In October of the same year, he once again cooperated with Taipei Hanlin rap troupe and star horse crosstalk actors in Malaysia to participate in the international crosstalk performance and cultural festival. In 1991, he was rated as one of the top ten laughing stars in China. In 1992, sponsored by the China Association for overseas exchanges, he performed crosstalk in more than ten countries in Western Europe, France, Italy, etc., which made a sensation. In 1993, he performed with the China Radio rap troupe in Taipei, contributing to the cultural exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. From 1985 to 1991, he performed in CCTV's "Spring Festival Gala" for seven consecutive years and served as the program host of the gala for many times.

Liu Baorui

In the early 1950s, Tang Jiezhong saw Gao Yuanjun's quyi from the film and loved it very much. Later, the army sent Tang Jiezhong to Beijing to study, so he visited Gao Yuanjun's home. Although Gao Yuanjun did not accept him as an apprentice, he enthusiastically introduced his brother, Liu Baorui, the king of stand up crosstalk, to Tang Jiezhong. Liu Baorui not only gave him everything he could, but also once cheered Tang Jiezhong and carried his apprentice forward.

Tang Jiezhong believes that Mr. Gao and Mr. Liu not only guided himself to the road of cross talk, but also taught him how to deal with people and things. "Mr. Liu taught me that I didn't pay anything except for performing arts. I didn't pay tuition, and I didn't get much in return. He has a very broad mind, which can be said to be inclusive. " So later Tang Jiezhong also learned from Liu Baorui, and his apprentices were not only teachers and apprentices, but also father and son, and friends. For example, for his apprentice Gong Hanlin, Tang Jiezhong did everything in his power to help him find a relationship and a friend to develop in Beijing. He also helped him borrow a house in Beijing. Later, when he saw Gong Hanlin perform well, he was very happy for him and was very generous to him, although the better Gong Hanlin performs, the farther away he is from the cross talk major. When Gong Hanlin mentioned this, he said, "I'm grateful to my master all my life.".

"Secretly in love with Maggie"

In 1958, Tang Jiezhong was transferred to the soldier acrobatic troupe of Guangzhou Military Region and became a professional crosstalk actor. The next year, he began to study with Ma Ji under the guidance of Liu Baorui. Tang Jiezhong said with a smile that although Ma Ji was younger than himself, "I secretly fell in love with Ma Ji at that time.". He thinks that Maggie is "little Hou Baolin". Her performance is passionate and her art is top-notch. Moreover, Maggie loves crosstalk very much and regards crosstalk as her second life. This year of study, Ma Ji gave Tang Jiezhong a big cheer. They also performed cross talk for Chairman Mao in Zhongnanhai and shook hands with Chairman Mao.

Later, Tang Jiezhong gave up the good opportunity to be promoted to deputy head of the soldier acrobatic troupe of Guangzhou Military Region and transferred to China Radio rap troupe. He and Maggie began their formal cooperation in 1959 and continued until the 1980s. It is said that it is more difficult to find a partner than a daughter-in-law in cross talk. Two people should have a tacit understanding in business and be tolerant of each other. Tang Jiezhong has been in the supporting role all his life. But over the years, Tang Jiezhong said that he never felt uncomfortable. "Because when Liu Baorui taught us, he said that toudou is a family, and toudou is a" vegetable ". Without toudou, there would be no toudou, and it would not be a program." Not long before Mr. Ma Ji died, he won the lifelong achievement award of Chinese Quyi. Tang Jiezhong, just like himself, was very excited and couldn't sleep at night. He got up in the middle of the night and wrote a poem of Tang Jiezhong, a poem of Tang Jiezhong, congratulating Ma Ji on winning the award. Tang Jiezhong, who has been modest all his life, also said that his cooperation with Ma Ji is tantamount to a bald man following the moon.

Challenge Jiang Kun

After two years of cooperation with Mr. Hao Aimin, Tang Jiezhong has ushered in a major challenge in his artistic career: cooperation with Jiang Kun after his partner Li Wenhua left the stage due to illness.

When he was a famous actor, he was not allowed to stand in his own place

In the beginning, Tang Jiezhong imitated Li Wenhua step by step and cheered Jiang Kun word by word according to the recording, but the effect was not ideal. Later, we studied together and thought that Tang Jiezhong's own characteristics should be brought into play to cheer Jiang Kun. In order to change the established impression of the past on the audience, Tang Jiezhong also designed a more elegant image of himself: wearing a pair of glasses without lenses, which has been used for 20 years.

Jiang Kun said that at the beginning of their cooperation, they really took a lot of effort, and they have been trying to find a way. Later, in the passage "reverie at the mouth of the tiger", they began to find a feeling that "everyone forgot Li Wenhua and trusted Mr. Tang Jiezhong.". Together, they have cooperated with many well-known works, such as hukou reverie, elevator disturbance, learning to sing, worry, major news, etc. Although their personalities are quite different, they have never had any conflicts or quarrels in their years of cooperation.

Speaking of their separation, Jiang Kunting was moved: "suddenly one day, teacher Tang Jiezhong said to me," Jiang Kun, I think you have to find a new partner. I can't keep up with you. You have to run more than ten places a month. You have to go to Tibet, go abroad and go to the "old, young, frontier and poor" areas. There are many things to do. If I keep following you like this, I'll have to drag you down and find a young man. " Tang Jiezhong also took the initiative to recommend Dai Zhicheng, Jiang Kun's later partner.

Always a man of purpose

Ma Ji once said that although Tang Jiezhong always talks about himself as "stupid bird flies first" and always runs ahead, "everyone should pay attention to that he is not a" stupid bird ", he is very good
