Early experience

In April 1953, Shi Shengjie was born in Tianjin. Shi Shengjie's father, Shi Shiyuan, is a famous crosstalk master. In the 1940s and 1950s, it was quite famous in Beijing and Tianjin. In 1959, in order to support the art construction in Northeast China, Shi Shiyuan moved his family north to Harbin and became the captain of the cross talk team of the Harbin Folk Art Troupe. Shi Shengjie is the second eldest child in the family.

When I first settled in Harbin, my master lived in the North Market outside the road. At that time, the North Market was a place of entertainment, with storytellers, opera singers, drummers, and shadow puppet performers all available. Restaurants and teahouses abounded, making it lively and prosperous. Shi Shengjie grew up in such an environment, and the seeds of art were planted in his young heart.

Why are you so fond of cross talk? Shi Shengjie smiled. At that time, everyone was so hungry that their eyes turned blue, and of course little Shi Shengjie was no exception. His parents went to the "Cross Talk Conference" every day to perform, and Shi Shengjie also went there. There are many vendors selling snacks in the garden. Many viewers know Shi Shiyuan and his wife, and they also know Shi Shengjie who hangs out here every day. They give him a handful of melon seeds and a handful of candies, and they can deal with them every day. Half full. Not to mention, due to having it poured into his ears every day, the young master Shengjie actually listened to a lot of cross talk jokes unconsciously.

Performing on stage was purely accidental. Once, when Shi Shiyuan and his wife were having supper after a performance, they heard the young Shi Shengjie muttering to himself in a cross talk "Catch and Release Cao". Shi Shengjie was completely amusing himself as a child. It was a subconscious move. When he looked back, he was shocked - his parents stopped using their chopsticks and his father shed tears! (Later, Shi Shengjie understood his father’s complex psychology: they came from the old society, when those who talked about cross talk were low-class people and suffered discrimination and oppression. He did not want his son to do this again. But if he listened carefully, What my son said was really "pretty", so he was so sad that he cried).

The next night, Shi Shiyuan said to the audience on stage: "There is no charge for the following section (the garden was charging by the hour at that time). I told a fan. This fan is none other than My son." The audience burst into laughter as they remembered the kid who hung around here all day long. Shi Shiyuan then said, "Please tell me, everyone, whether this kid is material and a candidate for this business." Then Shi Shengjie came on stage and recited a piece of "Catch and Release Cao" with his father. This was incredible, the audience's applause seemed to lift the roof of the house to the sky! At that time, the actor was not in a good mood to return to the performance, but he did not say that the audience was not interested, so the father and son continued to talk for a while. Talking about his unforgettable debut more than 40 years later, Shi Shengjie said: "The scene was so lively at that time, not because of my high artistic level, but because they thought this child was funny." Shi Shiyuan's son said Not bad!"

At that time, Shi Shengjie was seven years old. Later, Shi Shengjie became a disciple of Zhu Xiangchen and became the "seventh generation of cross talk". After going to school, he also studied in the classroom during the day and did cross talk in the garden at night. Many audiences came just to listen to his cross talk.

Those who live near the water come first. Besides going to school and talking about cross talk, Shi Shengjie's biggest hobby is listening to opera, including Beijing opera, Pingxi opera, and local opera. The slightly famous Shi Shengjie was selected into the Harbin Children's Palace Art Troupe and was one of the "Five Golden Flowers" of the troupe in the early 1960s. Performing operas, singing Allegro, and talking about cross talk, I can't get enough of it. It has performed for Chairman Liu Shaoqi, Premier Zhou Enlai, and foreign guest Prince Sihanouk. Such beautiful days laid a deep foundation for his later artistic life.

Personal life

Family

Shi Shengjie, male, is a famous cross talk actor. In April 1953, he was born in a crosstalk family in Tianjin in the Guisi year of the lunar calendar. His father Shi Shiyuan and mother Gao Xiuqin both made a living by speaking crosstalk and were famous crosstalk masters from rural areas. Shi Shengjie became an adopted father after taking charge of the school. On Father's Day, he adopted two adopted sons, Chen Hanbai and Gao Xiaopan. Honorary Chairman of the Heilongjiang Provincial Music Association, national first-class actor at the Heilongjiang Provincial Mass Art Museum.

Emotions

In the Heilongjiang Provincial Arts Festival in 1976, the cross talk "Lin Hai Hongying" collaborated by Shi Shengjie and Jiang Kun stood out among many programs and received a strong response. Shi Shengjie was transferred to the Heilongjiang Provincial Longjiang Theater Folk Art Troupe and became a professional crosstalk actor. There, he met Song Yan, who had just graduated from school and was assigned to work.

At that time, Shi Shengjie was a little-known but outstanding young actor, while Song Yan was a beautiful and diligent girl who loved to talk, laugh, and jump. When she saw that there were so many actors in the group, When her male colleagues had no time to do laundry, she readily took over the job and often mended her clothes. Her colleagues liked her very much. Of course, among the people who were helped by Song Yan, the very handsome young man Shi Shengjie was indispensable.

The two people have been working in the same company for three years, and they are both interested in each other, but no one dares to pierce the window paper. Because his father was classified as "Black Category 5" at that time, Shi Shengjie, who was implicated, had been suppressing his feelings for fear that speaking out would implicate Song Yan. This dilemma lasted until 1979. When everything cleared up, Shi Shengjie finally had the opportunity to express his emotions. So on a winter night near New Year's Day, Shi Shengjie took advantage of the opportunity of a workplace dinner to After drinking a little wine, with the strength of the wine, she chased after Song Yan and asked boldly: "Do you have time? Let's go out!" What's even more interesting is that during the date, Song Yan was afraid that others would see her, so she even talked to her classmates I borrowed a military coat and disguised myself before going out with Shi Shengjie.

As time went by, the relationship between the two became better and better, but Shi Shengjie's family was very poor at the time, which invisibly became a stumbling block in their relationship. In June 1981, Shi Shengjie and Song Yan got married. They had no house and lived in the regimental office.

Accepting Disciples

Shi Shengjie had many disciples, and he was quite satisfied with seven of them. The outstanding ones were the eldest disciple Liu Tong and the second disciple Zou Dejiang. Liu Tong rose to prominence in this TV crosstalk competition and won the second prize, and was also rated as the "Best Funny Award" by the audience. Zou Dejiang won the title of "Smart Drama Manager" in CCTV's "Quyuan Zatan" a few years ago. He became famous in one fell swoop and hosted "Happy Encounter at the Weekend", which was also a gold medal program of CCTV. Other disciples such as Li Jing, one of the founders of Deyun Society in Beijing; Hou Yaohua's son Hou Jun, also has great potential.

Died due to illness

On September 28, 2018, at 21:43:36, crosstalk performing artist Shi Shengjie died in Harbin at the age of 66 due to ineffective treatment.

Acting experience

"Farmers and Workers" star

The sudden political situation shattered the peace of life, and the Shi family began to fall into the abyss of pain. At the end of 1965, the "Cross Talk Conference" was suspended. His father committed suicide out of hatred, and his brother became an "active counterrevolutionary." In 1969, 16-year-old Shi Shengjie was forcibly "sent" to the Corps to go to the countryside. Because he failed the political review, he was only treated as a "farmer" for labor reform. In seven years, all the farm work was done. He can still cope with the physical overdraft; what really makes him unable to hold his head up is the heavy political baggage of "children who can be educated well" and "black five types of brats". When looking back on that period of life, Shi Shengjie said: "No matter what, life in the Corps is still a kind of spiritual and character training for me. With this bowl of wine as the bottom, what kind of wine can't be dealt with?"

The origin of cross talk in the Corps was accidental. Although Shi Shengjie has literary talent, the "Mao Zedong Thought Propaganda Team" will not want him as an "alternative".

One day in 1975, while taking a break from cutting grain, a cross talk "Ode to Friendship" sung by Ma Ji and Tang Jie Zhonghe played on the radio. Shi Shengjie, who was lying on the grain stack, heard the long-lost cross talk and felt so excited. After the show was over, Shi Shengjie said to everyone: "This form is called cross talk, and I can also speak it." Everyone got excited when they heard it and insisted on letting him come. Shi Shengjie just came for a while, making everyone jump up and down. From then on, Shi Shengjie had to play a cross talk or Allegro for everyone during work breaks, on the eve of "morning reading", and before and after meetings. Every night, Shi Shengjie, who was lying on the big bed, was thinking about the cross talk jokes he had heard and learned when he was a child. What should I tell everyone? Shi Shengjie said: "This is equivalent to reviewing everything in the past and improving it."

As he said this, the regiment headquarters knew about this, and Shi Shengjie's chances also increased. Then came the year 1976. In order to participate in the folk art performance of Heilongjiang Province, the Corps organized a folk art study class. Fortunately, Shi Shengjie got on this bus. Jiang Kun and his wife Li Jingmin were also in the class. When they arrived in Jiamusi, the leader asked Shi Shengjie and Jiang Kun to cooperate. Jiang Kun, who was three years older than Shi Shengjie, although he could not speak cross talk at the time, was modest, diligent, humorous, and good at playing, playing and singing. The cross talk "Lin Hai Hongying" collaborated by the two is a work that reflects the life of educated youth. The first performance was performed at the Corps Club and aroused a strong response. This joke represented the Corps in the provincial folk art performance and stood out. It also represented Heilongjiang in the national folk art performance. Their cross talk caused a sensation when they performed at the Beijing Exhibition Hall Theater. Some professional literary and art groups came to poach them. Unfortunately, due to political review issues, the opportunity passed by Shi Shengjie. Ma Ji, the head of the rap troupe of the Central Broadcasting Art Troupe at the time, felt even more regretful. After the rehearsal, Jiang Kun got his wish and joined Ma Ji's command, while Shi Shengjie sadly returned to Beidahuang and continued to work as a "farmer".

Master Hou closed his apprenticeship

Shortly after the collapse of the "Gang of Four", at the end of 1976, Shi Shengjie was transferred to the Provincial Longjiang Theater Folk Art Troupe and finally became a professional crosstalk actor. Although he didn't even change his job, Shi Shengjie was still very satisfied. After all, I have no background and no backdoor, and I can’t go to college due to family problems. A small educated youth relies on his own expertise to return to the city to reunite with his family, and he also works in his favorite major. This is already a big deal. Good luck. In 1978, his father and brother were rehabilitated, and Shi Shengjie regained his political life. His heartfelt gratitude turned into a mentality of repaying gratitude. He was determined to work hard and produce cross talk works worthy of the audience to repay the good policies of reform and opening up.

Shi Shengjie devoted himself to creation and wrote a number of widely circulated works such as "I Want to Make Up Lessons", "Between Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law", and "Drunken Song", which have withstood the test of time. In 1981, the cross talk "Mayor Hao" won the first prize for creation and performance in the national folk art performance. This was Shi Shengjie's first time to win a national award. In 1982, he participated in the National Outstanding Folk Art Tour Troupe organized by the Ministry of Culture. He was one of the two pairs of crosstalk actors selected nationwide. In 1983, he participated in the provincial folk art competition and won the first prize for his cross talk "Girls and Boys, Don't Do This". In 1984, the cross talk "Live and Let Go" participated in the national new cross talk performance competition and won the first prize again. Shi Shengjie never expected that this performance in Qingdao would bring a turning point and leap in his artistic life.

The great master Mr. Hou Baolin was the artistic consultant for that event. After listening to Shi Shengjie's cross talk, Mr. Hou was very excited. At the summary meeting held the next day, Mr. Hou praised Shi Shengjie greatly, almost always made fun of him, and expressed his intention to accept him as a closed disciple. When Shi Shengjie heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears. He was so excited that tears wet his eyes! Mr. Hou Baolin is the Taishan Beidou of Chinese cross talk art. He has not accepted a disciple for more than 30 years. Will this great luck really happen to him? He wanted to be bold and confirm it with Mr. Hou to see whether the sudden good news was a dream or reality.

With uneasiness, Shi Shengjie went to Mr. Hou’s residence and knocked gently on the door. He heard a familiar voice coming from the room: "Come in." After entering the door, Shi Shengjie was very nervous and didn't know what to say, so he asked: "Are you still asleep?" Mr. Hou was happy when he heard this. "When did I go to bed? I haven't eaten yet." "It was just past eleven o'clock. No wonder my question made Mr. Hou feel happy. I said: 'I just heard that.

’” Mr. Hou said, “You know everything? "As soon as my knees went weak, I knelt down in front of Mr. Hou, called "Master" and couldn't say anything else. Mr. Hou was also very excited and said, "I haven't had a disciple for more than thirty years. I accept you and become my close disciple. With young people like you, cross talk will be passed on and there will be hope. The two masters and apprentices discussed the matter of apprenticeship. Mr. Hou said: "The old-fashioned apprenticeship is a bit feudal and superstitious. You are a young man. Let's not do that. We will create a new form that is contemporary." ”

At that time, Shi Shengjie was thirty-one years old, just past his thirties.

Mr. Hou Baolin wanted to close his disciples, which was undoubtedly an earth-shattering event in the cross talk world. At that time, Qingdao gathered famous crosstalk figures, crosstalk theorists and reporters from major media. Mr. Hou’s wife, Mr. Ma Sanli, made a special trip to Qingdao to hold a grand apprenticeship ceremony at Qingdao Friendship Hotel.

At the apprenticeship ceremony, Shi Shengjie bowed and presented flowers to Master and his wife. Master handed Shi Shengjie some of his treatises and audio-visual materials, and took off a diamond ring that he had worn for many years and put it on his hand. Said: "Shi Shengjie is my closed disciple, I will no longer accept disciples from now on. The fact that I accepted Shengjie as my disciple is not a matter between the two of us. It is a major event in the cross talk world. I believe that with young people like Shi Shengjie inheriting our cross talk art, the development of cross talk art will not wait until 2000. "Hou Baolin's speech won thunderous applause from the scene.

From then on, Shi Shengjie became the successor of Hou School.

When he was 7 years old, he performed on stage, and when he was 8 years old, he became his disciple Zhu Xiangchen.< /p>

People's "Ten Laughing Stars"

Being a disciple of Mr. Hou Baolin, Shi Shengjie’s cross talk reached a new level, and his requirements for himself became stricter.

He ran non-stop back and forth between Harbin and Beijing, greedily sucking the master's artistic nectar and constantly enriching and improving.

One day in 1985, Shi Shengjie was recording a program called "Jiajiale" on CCTV, and the director motioned for him to go out and answer the phone. He picked up the phone and was stunned - it turned out that the call was from the National Top Ten Laughing Stars Jury, informing him that he had been selected! Nine of the ten laughing stars are from Beijing, and the only one from other provinces who is named among them is his teacher Shengjie.

In 1987, he and his partner Yu Fusheng participated in the first China Art Festival held in Beijing with the cross talk "The Adventures of the Little Shoemaker" created with Yuan Jianbang, which caused a sensation and is still popular today. Someone requested this show. "The Adventures of the Little Shoemaker" won the gold medal at this arts festival and was selected into the "New China Film and Television Art Boutique" series of CDs. Even he himself couldn't tell how many awards he had won. He has also participated in the "Spring Festival Gala" many times, which has attracted people in the literary and art circles. Shi Shengjie is worthy of being called a disciple of Master Hou Baolin, and has reached a peak in the exploration of the art of cross talk.

Shi Shengjie’s stage image is fresh and pleasing, and his basic singing skills are particularly good, forming a performance style with crisp words, sweet tones, and simple and natural performance. His representative works such as "Mayor Hao", "Here to Heart" and "The Adventures of the Little Shoemaker" are widely circulated.

Served as a judge on CCTV3 "Avenue of Stars" many times.

The only "judge from other provinces"

The "uniqueness" that is rare in a person seems to be a common occurrence in Shi Shengjie. In the "Big Red Eagle Cup CCTV's First National Television Crosstalk Competition" that ended not long ago, Shi Shengjie was the only judge from other provinces who did not have a Beijing household registration.

For a long time, in the face of various temptations of materialistic desires, Shi Shengjie has always adhered to the cross talk position. He does not act as a master of ceremonies, act in sketches, film or television dramas, or do advertisements like others. With his popularity, there are naturally many opportunities, whether it is impossible or not. He always keeps in mind the teachings of his master, Master Hou Baolin: if you want to do well in art, you must first be a good person. Only in this way can you speak with authority. He will do his best to develop the art of cross talk and become an artist with both virtue and skill.

As a judge, Shi Shengjie stands at the height of pursuit of the art of cross talk, treats contestants from different regions and with different teachers equally, and gives relatively accurate scores. He said: "The judges are scoring the contestants, and the audience is scoring the judges. The judges are all famous cross talk artists, and they all pay great attention to their public image. As the only judge from other provinces, I should pay more attention."

Shi Shengjie’s artistic characteristics not only inherited the Hou style of cross talk, but also formed his own elegant, fresh, simple and natural performance style. (Ifeng.com Entertainment Review)
