In the 1980s, led by the Jilin Ququ Association and jointly sponsored by 5 media such as radio and television newspapers, the so-called "Top Ten Laughing Stars" of the year were selected, ma Jigao ranked first in the list, followed by Jiang Kun, Hou Yaowen, Shi Shengjie, Chang Baohua and others on the list.
Now many young people regard this list as a treasure, and when they say "top ten laughing stars", they feel that the cow is incredible. In fact, this list is not rigorous, first of all, the 10 listers are all cross-talk artists, theoretically should be called "top ten cross-talk actors"; secondly, the list has no influence in the first few years, the people do not recognize, there is also controversy within the industry.
There are two aspects that the people do not recognize, one is that the pairing appears, Ma Ji and Jiang Kun should be on the list, and Zhao Yan and Li Wenhua are on what basis? One is that although some celebrities often have a familiar face on TV, they are not happy at all, such as Shi Shengjie and Hou Yaowen.
The reputation of the 2 people when they hit was actually not very good. Shi Shengjie sang on stage, and the audience couldn't understand that no one loved to listen to the drama and he used to sing a lot; Hou Yaowen was very the stage, but there was no baggage in the soup, and the audience was tired and panicked for him.
To put it bluntly, these 2 people were famous "turning the stage king" when they fought, and as soon as the two people showed their faces, the people should almost change the stage.
The Chinese people have a tradition of exalting the deceased, unfortunately, netizens have raised these two artists too high, and the left master and the artist have no heaven and earth, and even can be compared with Ma Ji. In fact, it's too far off.
As a post-80s generation, the author had the privilege of witnessing the golden boom period of TV crosstalk, and what kind of performance Hou Yaowenshi Shengjie performed in that year, I believe that I have a voice more than most readers. Today, let's restore the peak state of the two "artists".
Shi Shengjie's impression in the audience was a little better than Hou Yaowen's.
Shi Shengjie was originally partnered with Zhao Baole, Zhao Baole is a Fan of Peking Opera, and after a few years of running to host an opera variety show, Shi Shengjie was left alone and a widow to perform without a ride.
Popular cross-talk actors have relatively hot passages, and the audience can't get tired of replaying them repeatedly. The cattle herd Feng Gong Ma Ji Jiang Kun is a typical representative, and Jiang Kun is slightly less interesting. Shi Shengjie is almost blank in this regard, and "Mr. White Word" has a little influence, and although the award-winning "Little Shoemaker's Adventure" is often broadcast, the people really don't like to listen.
At that time, the audience's impression of Shi Shengjie mainly had three points: the voice was really good, don't care if you love to listen to it or not; the cross-talk is too "plain", there is no baggage for 10 minutes; the root is miaohong, and the cross-talk is not happy, and it can always go on stage.
Shi Shengjie's influence in the public group is minimal, and there is no comparison with Jiang Kunmaji's cattle herd Feng Gong, and the audience popularity is worse than Zou Dejiang, who became popular by imitating Shan Tianfang, and basically belongs to the ranks of "chicken ribs".
The audience didn't like Shi Shengjie, but it wasn't even to the point of "boredom", and Hou Yaowen was not so lucky. Hou Yaowen at that time was really embarrassed.
Hou Yaowen's slightly redder paragraphs are more than Shi Shengjie's, "Hou's Vocal Method", "Self-inadequacy", "Hou Da's Understanding", and "Mouth Spitting Lotus" are still quite successful, and his problem lies in performance.
Hou Yaowen gave people the impression that he would not speak crosstalk but tried to say good crosstalk, and he could not shake a few baggage with the strength to eat milk, and the audience looked tired, hoping that he would step down early and everyone would be relieved.
What is particularly puzzling to the audience is that the effect is obviously not satisfactory and is still highly sought after, the Spring Festival Gala is casually on, the program TV station is also broadcast, and the status in the cross-talk industry is obviously higher than that of ordinary people.
One year at the Lantern Party, Hou Yaowen and Zhao Benshan co-starred in a small section, and the two sang to see who could take whom into the ditch. This is a small show of temporary buddy, which is a bit of a cross-talk sketch with the meaning of strong dialogue. Zhao Benshan is basically not controversial as the king of sketches, can Hou Yaowen represent crosstalk? At that time, the audience regarded Hou Yaowen as a "supporting role".
At that time, the audience felt that Hou Yaowen was panicked and blocked, so that many people had a "disgusted" and "nasty" mentality. There is nothing more sad for a comedian.
Hou Yaowen's performance went wrong. On the one hand, it continues the typhoon of his father's "handsome", and he raises his hands and feet to conceal the style of a generation of grandmasters, on the other hand, he wants to "make a dog" to sell his appearance, and the performance style is seriously divided.
Hou Yaowen, who sells "handsome" on the stage, can be described as unique, and there is indeed a great general's style in temperament, but the corresponding baggage is much less; the "criminal dog" sells more baggage, the performance is not natural enough, and the effect is greatly reduced. Hou Yaowen wandered between the two styles, and ultimately failed to win the hearts and minds of the audience.
In the later stage of his acting career, Hou Yaowen changed this problem, no longer "committed dogs" and concentrated on selling "handsome", and his art improved a lot.
Before 2000, Shi Shengjie Hou Yaowen's impression in the minds of the audience was more or less like this. Fairly evaluate the two famous masters: the basic skills are solid, and there is persistence in art, but there are serious shortcomings in the most important "teasing". The two gentlemen are actually more suitable to go to qu schools as teachers, and cultivating the next generation may be a good hand.
