The Golden Age of China Entertainment

"Little Lizi! Yo! This is not ~~~~~~~~~Yi Qing, I remember correctly!"

Teacher Zhao Lirong smiled and looked very kind. It is said that her current status has also risen, and she is no longer in the situation of special times, but she has no airs at all.

Li Chengru smiled and said, "Old lady, I'm here to see you!"

Yi Qing also said: "Mr. Zhao, you still remember me!"

Teacher Zhao Lirong smiled and said: "How can I not remember, sit down quickly, you guys are~~~~~~~~"

Yi Qing directly explained the purpose of coming: "Mr. Zhao, we are here today, but we have made a special trip to invite you out of the mountain."

When she first heard that she was going to be on the Spring Festival Gala, Teacher Zhao Lirong was stunned. Of course she knew about the Spring Festival Gala. She would watch it every year when the whole family had a New Year’s Eve dinner. , the old lady thought it was a bit unbelievable, let alone let her act in a sketch.

"I~~~~~~I haven't acted in this~~~~~~~~ I haven't acted before! I don't know how to make people laugh. If I go, it won't be a joke!?"

Chapter 324 A Day of the Hero's Mother

It's normal for Teacher Zhao Lirong to have doubts. When she was young, she focused on boudoir dans and Huadans. When she got older, she began to lean towards clowns. But after all, she is a folk art actress, and the performance of sketches can be classified as drama. One category, the way of acting is completely different, now that Yi Qing suddenly asked her to act in a sketch, she really didn't know what to do.

"I've never acted before, and I don't know how to act. Don't delay your business by going back!"

Yi Qing hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao, since I invited you today, it must be because you are suitable. It doesn't matter if you haven't acted before. You just need to rehearse a few more times. Anyway, there are scripts, so you just follow along."

Hearing what Yi Qing said, Teacher Zhao Lirong was really moved. After all, the Pingju Troupe is not doing well now. Although there are many performances, the income is not much. An old man like her who was rated as a national first-class actor early. They are all very tight, otherwise, they would not be able to take on TV dramas or movie performances.

At this age, people actually think very simple, nothing more than earning more money and helping their children.

In the previous life, Teacher Zhao Lirong was on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. In fact, she was rushing to the shelves. At that time, the actress in You Benchang’s sketch had a car accident and was hospitalized. Benchang introduced Mr. Zhao Lirong. After rehearsing once, he felt that the effect was good. That's it. At the age of 60, Mr. Zhao Lirong became the oldest newcomer on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

"Then what, can you let me have a look at your script?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Qing hurriedly presented the script he had prepared. He did not choose the work of Mr. Zhao Lirong when he debuted on the Spring Festival Gala stage, but chose the one with greater influence.

Sima Guang smashed the light, and Sima Guan smashed the cylinder.

The impact of this line is so profound that even after decades, it still makes people laugh.

But when the script was handed over, Teacher Zhao Lirong was stunned holding the script, and looked at Yi Qing with an embarrassed face. Yi Qing didn't know what was going on at first, but when he understood it, he was equally embarrassed.

Teacher Zhao Lirong came from the old society. She was an artist since she was a child, and she appeared on stage as a baby girl when she was one year old. She never went to school and could not read at all.

Before Yi Qing could speak, Li Chengru quickly took the script over: "Mr. Zhao, I'll read it to you."

When he was in the production team of Journey to the West, Li Chengru was in charge of reading the script to Teacher Zhao Lirong. He naturally knew the other party's situation clearly.

Yi Qing said with embarrassment: "Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, I~~~~~~~that~~~~~~~"

Teacher Zhao Lirong waved her hands again and again with a smile, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I forgot to say, I am illiterate, when I was filming that, it was Xiao Lizi who read the script to me, and I will recite it again, please both of you Please read it to me!"

The old lady has such a good temper, Yi Qing is even more embarrassed.

"Mr. Zhao, look at this. Brother Li and I will act for you again. I will play the director. Brother Li, you will play the role of Teacher Zhao!"

On the way, Li Chengru had already read the script and had a general understanding of the content.

"Okay!"

The two people talked, briefly matched the words, and then started the performance.

From the very beginning, the director came in and told the old lady what was going to be filmed today, but the old lady was only thinking about buying tofu, and Teacher Zhao Lirong couldn't stop laughing.

When it came to the issue of educating children later, Li Chengru read out: Sima Guang smashed the light, Sima Yan smashed the jar.

Teacher Zhao Lirong laughed so hard that she couldn't even straighten her waist.

The whole script is no different from the original version, even the joke is preserved. This TV series was introduced to the mainland last year, and it began to be broadcast on local stations across the country at the beginning of this year, and it has also been introduced and broadcast on Beijing TV station.

After the two performed it once, Teacher Zhao Lirong waited for a long time before stopping the laughter.

"Oh! Who made this up? It's really interesting. My stomach hurts from laughing."

Li Chengru smiled and said: "Who else is far away in the sky and right in front of you, Mr. Zhao, have you read and written? They are all written by Xiao Yi."

And as the two most popular TV dramas of the year before last and last year, Mr. Zhao Lirong has naturally watched them. He was also surprised to hear that Li Chengru said that they were all written by Yi Qing.

"Oh! The young man is full of knowledge at such a young age, which is really remarkable!"

Mr. Zhao Lirong's compliment, Yi Qing is very useful, but he is more concerned about whether the old lady can accept the invitation. You must know that although there are many good comedians in China, there are still some who can "beautiful" all at once. There are really not many. Before the rise of Zhao Laohan, Chen Xiaoer and Zhu Laomao were the pillars of a gala. These two must not be able to dig. In Yi Qing's heart, they can support the language of the Beijing-Taiwan Spring Festival Gala Only Mr. Zhao Lirong is left for such programs.

"Ms. Zhao, you watch this show~~~~~~~~~"

Teacher Zhao Lirong hurriedly said: "Well, I don't dare to agree to you right away, I have to ask the head of the group what he means, but I think it should not be a big problem, now it's not like in the first few years after liberation, when the year ends, the performance task Heavy, now~~~~~~"

Teacher Zhao Lirong did not continue, but from her slightly lonely expression, she could feel that the old lady was very worried about the status quo of traditional folk arts such as Pingju.

The reserve force of actors is small, and the audience's attention is getting lower and lower. The number of performances can be guaranteed, but it is difficult to make a profit. Even the Pingju Troupe with the national brand is difficult to sustain.

In this regard, Yi Qing is also helpless. If it is a traditional folk art form like cross talk, he can still imitate the model of Guo Banzhu to save it. As for the commentary, forgive him for being powerless. Even the quintessence of Peking Opera is not much to watch now, let alone commentary. This kind of local song.

"Well, you two just wait here for a while, and I will go to the head of the group to ask."

Teacher Zhao Lirong, regardless of his age, is still a vigorous character, and he got up and went out the door.

"Xiao Yi! Do you really think Mr. Zhao can do it? The old lady doesn't have much audience popularity!"

Li Chengru waited for Teacher Zhao Lirong to go out before asking.

Yi Qing smiled and said: "What is audience popularity? If you don't go on stage or show yourself in front of the audience, how can you get audience popularity? I think the old lady is nice, kind-hearted, and has a talent for comedy. It's great. Anyway, let me find her." A suitable one, I can't find a better one than Teacher Zhao!"

joke!

This is the mother of Zhao who is loved by the people all over the country. When she comes on stage, even Zhao Laohan, the king of sketches, has to stand aside, can't she?Who else can do it?

After a while, teacher Zhao Lirong came back with joy on his face: "I won, the head of the group agreed, you two, when do we start rehearsal?"

The old lady is still short-tempered!

But the problem is~~~~~~~

"Ms. Zhao, don't worry. You just watched it. This skit is performed by two people. I have to arrange your partner first, and then I will pick you up for rehearsal."

After finally appeasing Teacher Zhao Lirong and leaving the address of the old lady's home, Yi Qing and Li Chengru politely declined the invitation to have dinner at home and got up to leave.

In fact, Yi Qing already had a candidate for Mr. Zhao Lirong's skit partner. When he returned to the urban area, he took Li Chengru to the National Conversational Theater Troupe.

Compared with the bald-headed image in my impression, the thin and tall man in front of me is still a little young, but at the age of 30, his hairline is already in jeopardy.

Big eyes, slender neck, stooped waist, and two front teeth exposed with a smile, in short, you can tell that you are not a good person at first glance.
