learning process
In 1950s, Wuhan Quyi Team (the predecessor of Wuhan Hongjinlong Rap Group) performed in People's Paradise for a long time. Zhang Mingzhi, who is only six or seven years old, saves twenty cents to buy tickets every day. His favorite is Hubei Drum. As time went on, the actor became familiar with the child who sat in the front row every time, and Zhang Mingzhi secretly started the learning process under the stage.
How many mornings and evenings, Zhang Mingzhi practiced repeatedly in the alley in front of his house. At first, the neighbors' grandmothers laughed at him and said, "Zhang's wife is crying again"; Slowly, Zhang Mingzhi discovered some doorways. At the age of 1 1, I officially learned from my teacher. Grandmothers also find this song more and more interesting, and often ask him to come for a paragraph.
/kloc-When he was 0/6 years old, Zhang Mingzhi joined the Quyi team, which was the most unforgettable experience in his life. Before he finished the formalities that day, the Quyi team had already performed in Hunan. When the captain left, he told him, "You also come." Teenagers who have never been out of the city, carrying simple luggage, rush to Changsha at night. It was 3 o'clock in the morning when he arrived in Changsha. Before the theater opened, Zhang Mingzhi curled up on the tofu stand outside the theater for half a night. His first time on the stage was in Zhuzhou, Hunan. From then on, step by step, from the initial small role to the opening program, a program moved back and finally became the fixed ending of the rap group. ...
At the party celebrating 50 years of stage career last year, after singing drums, Zhang Mingzhi sang a song for the first time, which was his own adaptation of Applause: "The drums have been sung for 50 years, and the audience's applause is the most wonderful ... Applause sounded, which made me more aware. Thank you for your love for me! "
The applause from the audience thundered, and Zhang Mingzhi on the stage was also excited: "It's been 50 years, and the more I play, the more afraid I am. The more enthusiastic the audience is, the more I am afraid that the audience will be dissatisfied. Although I am old, I still have to work hard! "
In his 50-year stage career, Zhang Mingzhi can't remember how many performances he has performed, but he often remembers a performance because of the audience's reaction: his favorite performance venue is on the threshing floor, and the audience's outstretched palms still smell of soil and grass; In Jianli, an old man selling barbecue at the entrance of the theater liked Zhang Mingzhi, but he couldn't enter the theater. Zhang Mingzhi took the initiative to find him when he learned about it. The old man wanted him to sign, but he searched all over and found only a greasy piece of paper. Zhang Mingzhi signed his name without hesitation. In Hong Kong, he and his colleagues in the rap group performed for the soldiers of the cooking class of the troops stationed in Hong Kong after the official performance, with more actors than soldiers. ...
Last June, Zhang Mingzhi had a heart attack and underwent surgery to support three stents. As soon as he recovered, he attended another party. Regarding his illness, he has been hiding it from the media: everyone should know that I am ill. What if the Spring Festival performance is not invited?
In the rap group, Zhang Mingzhi is a famous strict teacher. "If you want to eat spicy food, that's right. Learn to earn it yourself! " This is what Zhang Mingzhi often says to the young people in the regiment. Xu Ning studied Hubei Drum with Zhang Mingzhi for nearly 6 years, but Zhang Mingzhi always called him a "student" or a "semi-apprentice" instead of an apprentice. "Children work hard, but they still need to be honed. People who sing drums should have spring, summer, autumn and winter on their faces. I am not harsh on him, but responsible for the folk art school of Hubei drum. "
After celebrating his 50-year stage career last year, Zhang Mingzhi plans to retire. However, this idea has not been realized until today. During his hospitalization, many people spontaneously went to the hospital to visit him. "Master Zhang, sing for us for another two years!"
Now, Zhang Mingzhi takes the concept of "two years" very seriously. In the past two years, he has to do two things well before he can rest assured: first, find a suitable successor for Hubei Dagu and give his "kung fu" to the other side; Furthermore, as the honorary head and artistic director of the rap group, he should make another contribution to the reorganization of the rap group. In the interview, he repeatedly mentioned that it has been nine months now, only 1 year and three months left, and we have to hurry.
