Is there any relationship between these three

China Is there a special women's cross talk competition?

Analysis:

On March 8, 1992, the first women's cross talk competition in the history of cross talk was held at the Chongwen District Cultural Center in Beijing. There are about forty pairs of contestants, the oldest are two 70-year-old grandmothers from Daqiao Street in Chongwen District, and the youngest is Li Yue, a first-grade girl from Xicheng District. The original intention of the planning was to hold a small-scale mass event in the city, but unexpectedly it caused a sensation in other provinces and cities. Cheng Pingping and Cheng Lingling of the Shanxi Armed Police Force, Xing Yingying of the Qingdao Folk Art Troupe, Xia Wenlan of Jiangsu, Lin Yu of Hunan, and Hebei Troupe promoted Liu Yan and others from the team came to Beijing to compete. Elevate this event to the first national Spark Cup Women's Crosstalk Competition. This competition has the following unique and outstanding features: (1) All of them are based on women's own lives, and none of them are traditional tasks performed by male crosstalkers. The cross talk "Sunset Red" performed by two elderly people in their seventies was specially written and created by the playwright Su Shuyang. At that time, there were many female contestants who were very eager to participate, but they had no book. Ma Guirong, one of the planners, provided it free of charge. In order to compete fairly, she gave up her qualification to win this competition and only participated in the supporting role. (2) It costs the least money and is the most affordable. The cost of this event was only 5,000 yuan. The competition venue was the art hall provided free of charge by the Chongwen District Cultural Center. The judges were cross talk artists Jiang Kun, Li Jindou, Tang Jiezhong, Yin Wenshuo, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Folk Artists Association *** Lei, and CCTV Literary and Art Department Wang Xiao , China People's Broadcasting Station folk art editor Chen Liansheng and others all work voluntarily and do not take any money. The organizers spent the five thousand yuan on the contestants and awarded honorary awards to all the contestants who signed up. A one-foot-tall blue and white porcelain vase (specially made by the Jingdezhen store in Zhushikou, Qianmen) will be given as a gift. The signatures of the judges of this event will be engraved on the bottle. The second and third prizes will be multicolored porcelain vases about 80 centimeters high. The first prize will be worth The one-meter-high blue and white porcelain vase costing 800 yuan is more exquisite than the trophies of various previous competitions. This event was sponsored by Song Motao of the Chongwen District Spark Association, with a donation of 3,000 yuan, and a Japanese female student (who later received a master's degree in cross talk), Fujita Kōyuki, sponsored a 1,000 yuan donation. Mr. Bai Baobao from the Beijing Film and Video Association sponsored 1,000 yuan. It can be said that it is a model of an art competition in history that costs the least and is the most effective. (3) The level of the contestants is beyond people’s imagination. At that time, people occasionally saw some actresses talking about cross talk on TV screens, but they were mainly singing, with at most a guitar added, and there was no specific content, let alone quality. But this competition provides an opportunity for some actresses with cross talk talents to show off. Moreover, the subject matter is targeted at women, close to life, and the performance of oneself is particularly vivid and natural. This is a qualitative leap compared with those "singing" cross talk and the "women making men work" in the 1930s. For example: "Mom, I Want to Marry Him", which reflects the love for soldiers, "Recruit", which praises female recruits, "Warmth", which praises female model workers, "Uneasy Neighbors", which satirizes women who spread gossip and sow discord, and inspires men and women in sports "Take Off", in which athletes bring glory to the country, are all excellent programs. Laughter and applause continued during the performance, and the judges were all amazed: They didn't expect female crosstalk to be so hidden! This event had a significant impact on the future artistic lives of some actresses. For example, the first prize winner Xing Yingying and her partner are now famous pillars of the *** Song and Dance Troupe. The second prize winner Xia Wenlan and her partner husband Ni Ming were also accepted by Jiang Kun. As an apprentice, they became a well-known crosstalk couple in the country. The twin Cheng sisters from Shanxi Province were transferred to the Beijing Armed Police Art Troupe. (4) This activity also left the biggest regret. Although such a meaningful competition has had a certain impact and sensation, it is a pity that this gratifying phenomenon has not attracted the attention of the relevant departments. There has been no serious summary of experience and identification of shortcomings, and no written materials have been left as a reference. Future research will show that the artistic sprout of women's cross talk failed to take advantage of this spring rain to take hold.

Specifically, the characteristics of "joining the army drama" summarized in the previous section are all clearly reflected in later cross talk, and are explained in "Tracing the Origin of Cross Talk" written by Hou Baolin, Xue Baokun, Wang Jingshou, and Li Wanpeng for reference. The specific performance methods of "joining the army drama" can be divided into two types: one is the master-slave style, and the other is the opposition style. Comparing the two, they are very similar, which reflects that "joining the army drama" also has an obvious origin relationship with the art of cross talk. Hou Baolin, Xue Baokun, Wang Jingshou, and Li Wanpeng have made detailed arguments in the book "Tracing the Origin of Crosstalk" and will not go into details.
