Personage introduction

spring into fame

In 1993, Zang Hong took part in a snack festival in nanlaishun. On that day, many famous artists including Lin liankun, a teacher of human arts, were present. On that day, Mr. she's wife, Ms. Hu Qianqing, proposed to listen to the cry of old Beijing. Later, Lin liankun came to Mr. Zang Hong and called out the voice of selling persimmons, because Ms. Hu had not heard the cry of Beijing for many years So when she was happy, she wrote a picture for Zang Hong on the spot with the words "king of Beijing peddling".

Calling for a career

at first

By the time of Zang Hong's generation, the life of Zang family had been difficult to maintain. At the age of 9, Zang Hong, who had been in a private school for only a month and a half, experienced the taste of starvation. The family was poor, and the schoolbag on the back of the private school was sewn by my mother with the leftover cloth from the drawer cloth. One day, he was so hungry that he made an appointment with a friend named Xiao Waizi in the Hutong to find a job in a newspaper office in the West Liulichang outside the peace gate. They knelt down and kowtowed to others, and finally got 200 copies of Huabei daily on credit. They ran to the side of the road and stood blankly, unable to sell a single newspaper. Watching people yelling and selling newspapers, they sold very well. The two brothers were in a hurry and had enough energy to eat. They yelled and opened. This call, also in Zang Hong's life, wrote a heavy stroke. Zang Hong sold 180 newspapers on the same day. After deducting the money he gave to the newspaper office, he bought 4kg of stick noodles for his family. Parents are very happy, said: "then don't go to school, anyway, we can't afford it, so we'd better sell newspapers." Half a month later, the noodle jar in my family was full, and the whole family was able to eat. By this time Zang Hong had learned to sell newspapers gracefully.

After two years of selling newspapers, Zang Hong thought, "it's good to sell stinky tofu. If you can't finish it, you can eat it; if you can't finish it, you'll throw it away." So he found a small wicker basket and small crooked son to sell stinky tofu. Every morning, I get up at 6 o'clock, carry a small wicker basket, and walk from my home in the east of Chengdong light market to Wangzhihe Sufu factory in Chengxi Liulichang. When it rained heavily, he was not idle either. A coir raincoat and a bamboo hat were still shuttling through the Hutong with a basket. He began to learn how to sell stinky tofu and soy bean curd according to the cry of others: "stinky tofu, soy bean curd, marinated shrimp, pickled cucumber.

development

At the age of 13, with strength, he began to sell fruits and vegetables along the overpass, Longxugou, cihuakou and flower market, and his business became more and more large. Gradually, he had a Paizi Che. Every morning, he took the car to Tianqiao four clock to wholesale fruits and vegetables. Then he walked from Longxugou to yangshikou and Dengshikou, learning the shouting of others all the way, "coriander, leek, spicy green pepper - eggplant, yellow melon, tender garlic seedling - radish, carrot, instant radish - picking samples..." Zang Hong can call out 30 kinds of dishes in one breath. The housewives in the small courtyard and the maids in the deep courtyard couldn't stand the appeal. They swarmed to Zang Hong with small feet.

Summit

At the end of 1948, when he saw a group of people's Liberation Army marching into the city, Zang Hong's cry was full of fire like passion - he was happy, because since then, he has become a dream person who will not be bullied. Soon, his cry was heard by people in the literary and art circles.

In 1952, Zang Hong worked as a scaffolder in the Engineering Department of Beijing Railway Bureau. When people saw that he could speak and sing, they transferred him to the railway Arts Troupe. In the troupe, he plays and talks about cross talk. Among them, the crosstalk "always harmful" and "between husband and wife" have been approved by the fifth generation crosstalk actor Mr. Zhang Xishu. Mr. Zhang said, "I'll find you a teacher to study hard tomorrow." Mr. Zhang meant what he said. A few days later, he led Zang Hong to the door of Wang Changyou, an old cross talk artist. Wang Changyou accepted him as an apprentice after listening to his jokes. Under the guidance of Mr. Wang, he performed the hit crosstalk "selling cloth". Due to Zang Hong's contribution to Beijing crosstalk, the history of Chinese crosstalk has included his name, which is much higher than several popular comedians.

In 1981, Beijing Film Studio wanted to adapt Lu Xun's novel regret for the past into a film of the same name. The famous director wanted to make the film interspersed with a few words of street Hawking in old Beijing. So I found Guo Bin, the leader of the quyi team of Chongwen cultural center at that time. At that time, Guo Bin recommended Mr. Zang Hong. Later, I went to the recording studio of Beijing Film Studio to record for three days. I yelled at more than 70 kinds of peddling sounds I heard and learned from others when I was a child. Then, he went to Wanshou temple in the West Third Ring Road to take part in shooting the scene of Juansheng and Zijun visiting temple fair, in which he played the role of a vendor selling sour plum soup. After the film was released, the response was very good. After that, he became uncontrollable. He sold in more than 130 films and TV dramas, such as old stories in the south of the city, intimate friends, narration of old Beijing, four generations together, Tan Sitong, spring peach, founding ceremony, decisive battle, farewell my concubine, Tianqiao dream, legend of Liulichang, etc. Later, the directors came to Zang Hong for all the films and TV works that reflected the life of old Beijing.

Call out the charm

Although Mr. Zang Hong is old, his voice is still very loud. In 2006, Beijing Hawking art was listed in the second batch of Beijing intangible cultural heritage list. Mr. Zang Hong also joined Zhang Zhenyuan, the late famous Hawking artist in Beijing, Zhang Guilan, the living female Hawking king in Beijing, Zhao Rongxiang, Wu xuzeng, Yang Changhe, etc He joined the old Beijing folk art troupe of Chongwen cultural center. Under the direct leadership of Dongcheng cultural center, youshisheng has made great achievements in the society. The old Beijing Hawking class is free of charge, and the Hawking competition is successfully held. The old Beijing Hawking drama will also be held in the fashion theater of Dongcheng cultural center next month. At present, Beijing Hawking has a fourth generation of inheritors, and the Hawking Group continues to flourish under the direct leadership of the leaders of Dongcheng cultural center The development of science and technology.

Zang Hong's Theory

As for shouting, Zang Hong's theory is the most convincing: "shouting should have both rules and artistry, but blind shouting is not good. When shouting in front of the big house, you should make a long voice, which is not only heard by the ladies and ladies on the third and fourth floors, but also elegant, and can't make people annoyed with wild tunes. When shouting in the busy market, you should pay attention to the short, sweet and loud voice, which makes people sound clean and want to buy. In the early years, there were different calls from the south to the north of Beijing. It seemed that there were two factions. Take ice sugar gourd sellers as an example, the cry of southeast city is obstinate; there are many big houses in northwest city, and the cry of peddlers is elegant and deep; the cry of young people near Wangfujing is sweet and loud. "

Zang is not a smoker and drinker. He is born with a good voice. He also said: white cloth jacket, felt hat head, and a basket on his arm are clothes for selling small food, which makes people look clean. Monk collar vest, with a banana fan in his hand, is a melon seller from a long distance. Fruit sellers all wear long clothes, with a girdle (belt) around their waist, and tuck their front in the girdle In order to walk easily, but also spirit. He also explained: "before shouting, the vendor has a habit of covering his ears with his hands to make a sound. It is also to tell others that they are going to shout. Don't frighten the children and treat the customer as God. This simple action can be reflected."

depart from the world for ever

At 14:50 on February 19, 2012, "peddler" Zang Hong died of prostate cancer in Beijing at the age of 80.

Before his death, Zang Hong had been sick and worked on various stages for four years, until he fell ill last year. "Even if it's pushing me, I want to shout twice more." Zang Hong once said.

"On December 29, we played mahjong with him for a while, and the old man won money!" Zang Quanjiang recalled that on the ninth day of the lunar new year, the old man was seriously ill and was sent to the hospital. "When he wakes up, he still talks about asking my son to take over his class and pass on the yelling of old Beijing." Zang Quanjiang choked.
