Is this cross talk partner officially announced today?

================

At this time, in an old residential house, a white-haired old man wearing a hearing aid, leaning on a cane, stood in the room, tremblingly calling Chen Xi and Han Tianye, his expression seemed a bit strange Excited.

"Sit down, sit down, drink water? Eat fruit?"

"Grandpa Zhang, don't bother, you can sit down quickly."

Chen Xi and Han Tianye helped the old man to sit on the sofa. This old man is 92 years old this year, and he looks quite energetic.

"well."

The old man nodded and sat down with the support of the two.

After sitting on the sofa, the old man looked at Chen Xi and Han Tianye in front of him, he was genuinely happy, and he was smiling.

He never imagined that his old friend Chen Qisheng and Han Fuping's grandson would come to visit him today, and both of them are actually good-looking talents, which is really great!

Don't look at this old man who looks like an ordinary old man, but his identity is not ordinary at all, because he is Mr. Zhang Yingxiang, a famous Northeast comic artist, who has a close relationship with the grandfathers of Chen Xi and Han Tianye.

This time Chen Xi and Han Tianye came to Northeast to perform, and they were also ordered by their father to come and see their old friends when they were young.

After Chen Xi and Han Tianye sat down, they looked at Mr. Zhang in front of them and started talking with a smile.

"My grandfather knew we were coming to the Northeast to perform this time, so he specially asked us to come and see you." Chen Xi said, looking at Han Tianye.

Han Tianye: "My grandfather also said that when he was young, he and Grandpa Chen came to the countryside in the Northeast to give condolences, thanks to your care at that time."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhang laughed, as if opening the box of memory:

"Your grandpas are all city children, unlike us who used to live in the countryside. The trip to the countryside to condolences made your grandpa suffer. The most interesting thing is that ducks and geese can't be distinguished. Seeing The duck reads 'Goose, goose, goose, white hair floating in green water'."

Hearing this, Chen Xi and Han Tianye also laughed, they didn't expect their grandpa to have such an interesting story.

Afterwards, the second child and the second child had a pleasant chat, especially after knowing that Chen Xi and Han Tianye were also inheriting the cross talk skill, Mr. Zhang was even more excited. While chatting, he actually asked the two of them to give him a speech on the spot. Come on for a while.

Chen Xi and Han Tianye were amused, they felt that since they came to the Northeast, the gap between people has suddenly become smaller, even the people they just met, after chatting a few words, they seem like friends for many years.

Respect is worse than obedience, so let's have a paragraph.

Looking at the two energetic young people in front of him, and listening to their cross talk, Mr. Zhang's love for talents arose in his heart.

After Chen Xi and Han Tianye finished talking about cross talk, Mr. Zhang didn't comment too much. Instead, he asked, "Apart from talking about cross talk, do you usually talk about anything else?"

Chen Xi glanced at Han Tianye beside him, then turned his head to look at Mr. Zhang, and replied, "I usually talk about some stand-up comedy here, but what he...should be singing some little songs."

Han Tianye nodded. It should be said that he has a very good voice and good singing skills, and he knows a lot of ditty tunes, such as Taiping lyrics, chant and so on. Sometimes when Chen Xi is tired, he will tell the audience on stage Come on for a while.

As for Peking Opera, they didn't dare to say anything. They still remembered the nightmarish "Sanchakou" last time, so they were still professional. Their impromptu cramming was nothing compared to professional actors who had been on stage for ten years.

"Okay!" Mr. Zhang slapped his thigh and laughed loudly, "Then you have come to the right place."

But as he said that, Mr. Zhang suddenly put away his smile, was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Chen Xi and Han Tianye, his expression became a little strange, "Then Chen Qisheng and Han Fuping did it on purpose!"

Chen Xi and Han Tianye didn't know what Mr. Zhang meant by these words.

"Forget it, whether it was intentional or unintentional, anyway, I am very happy today. Your cross talk is good, and I like you very much." Mr. Zhang laughed again.

Although the two were puzzled, seeing the old man so happy, they felt that today's goal had been achieved.

At this moment, they suddenly heard Mr. Zhang say: "I still have some good stuff in my possession, do you want to learn it?"

At this time, the old Mr. Zhang's expression became a little mysterious again.

When Chen Xi and Han Tianye heard these words, they couldn't help but look at each other. Could there be any unexpected gains from this trip?

half an hour.

Chen Xi and Han Tianye who came out of Mr. Zhang's house were a little fluffy.

It is indeed an unexpected gain, and it is a big gain.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang passed on his private stand-up comedy and the lost song to them respectively!

【"My stand-up comedy is not included in the Eight Great Sticks. It should be said that my master passed it on to me by chance. It is called "Nine Cases and Eighteen Fate"!

Each case has hidden mysteries and twists and turns. The most amazing thing is that these nine cases can be linked together in the end!

Nowadays, there is no one who can talk about all these nine cases. Now, if you can talk about this stand-alone person, you can talk about three or four cases at most. This time, I will pass on all these nine cases to you! "

"My ditty, it should be said that it is not a folk ditty in the traditional sense, but a shaman and witch song. You also know that this is the birthplace of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. This used to be outside the customs. The tribe believed in shamanism, and the shamans The song is the song sung by shamans when they communicated with the gods.

Of course, these are not important, the important thing is that you should have thought about it. Part of the melody in the lost "Book of Zidi" comes from witch songs. Shenyang used to be a place where Zidishu was popular. I also sang some when I was young. I have adapted the "Book of Disciples", but I always feel that the taste is not right. After decades of research, I finally have some experience, so..."

"During the few days you are staying in Shenyang, come here every day during the day, and I will teach you!"]

"So you can sing "Book of Children" after learning this witch song?"

At this time, Chen Xi, who was standing outside the gate of the building, looked at Han Tianye with a puzzled expression.

This Zidi Shu is a folk art that was popular in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It was first created by the Eight Banners at that time, so it is called Zidi Shu, a form of rap.

However, due to historical reasons and changes in the audience, it eventually went from prosperity to decline, until it was lost. Now only the libretto is handed down, not the tune.

"It's said to be lost. Nowadays, no one can sing it, so what if they can sing witch songs. The "Book of Children" is a combination of popular songs and witch songs at that time, even if it uses the combination of today's ditties and witch songs. , that is not the original "Book of Children" sung by the Eight Banners in the past."

Although Zidishu's rise to decline, its libretto has been adopted by many northern drums, and some of its tunes have been absorbed and borrowed for reference, and some single-string singing tunes still retain some Zidishu tunes.

"No matter what, it's fine if you can sing "Book of Disciples". As long as you can sing it, you can kill other drum songs and cross songs in seconds!" Chen Xi was a little excited.

"How about you, how about the stand-up comic, I feel that Mr. Zhang just said something briefly today, and I think it's very good." Han Tianye asked with a smile, looking at the excited Chen Xi.

"That's quite powerful!" Chen Xi imitated the Northeast accent, "Mr. Zhang is right, if these cases are revealed, it will be shocking!"

Ever since Chen Xi planned to talk about cross talk well, he also determined to pass on this art. Now he can learn such a good stand-up comedy, so he is naturally excited;

And although Han Tianye said that it was because of his grandfather that he talked about cross talk before, there may be a large part of the reason here because of Chen Xi, but after working with Chen Xi these days, he has become more and more fond of cross talk and these traditional arts Now, because of Mr. Zhang, he is even more interested in the lost "Book of Disciples".

The two looked at each other, and they saw a light in each other's eyes.

No wonder their grandfather repeatedly told them to visit Mr. Zhang when they come to Shenyang. It seems that there is a greater meaning in it besides a favor.

"Why don't you say Mr. Zhang taught these two skills to his apprentices?" On the way back, Han Tianye asked Chen Xi.

"As far as I know, it seems that the few apprentices Mr. Zhang took in were not very good-natured, and they hadn't been in contact with each other for many years. Those apprentices hurt him deeply enough, so they didn't apply what they had learned. I am interested in passing it on, but now that I am getting older, I can't find a suitable inheritor, so I can only hide those skills deep in my heart.

Maybe our grandpa found out about Mr. Zhang by accident, so he let us come here, in order to settle one of Mr. Zhang's concerns. "Chen Xi replied.

In fact, Chen Xi's guess was probably close to ten.

Mr. Chen and Mr. Han chatted by chance, recalling things from their youth, thinking of his old brother Zhang Yingxiang who was far in the northeast, and thinking of his whole life.

Although they don't have many contacts at ordinary times, they know some news about each other through their peers.

Thinking of those ineffective apprentices of Brother Zhang, Mr. Chen and Mr. Han were also a little bit embarrassed.

Thinking about the age of Brother Zhang now, and the fact that no one in the cross talk business talks about "Nine Cases and Eighteen Fate" and Zhang's version of "Book of Children", this is not a big loss for the cross talk industry.

It just so happened that this time Chen Xi and Han Tianye led a team to perform in Shenyang, and the two old men immediately ordered their grandsons to go over and have a look.

They plan to let Chen Xi and Han Tianye have a try to see if their grandson is suitable for Brother Zhang. If possible, they really want Chen Xi and Han Tianye to pass on the two skills of Brother Zhang Come down and carry it forward, it can be regarded as an end to Brother Zhang's concern.

After Chen Xi and Han Tianye left, Mr. Zhang sat silently on the sofa in his living room. His son in his 60s came over and looked at his father with a concerned expression.

"Dad, are you okay?"

Mr. Zhang finally had a reaction. He sighed deeply, and then laughed loudly: "It's a big circle and I went back."

He thought of his previous experience of going to the countryside with Chen Qisheng and Han Fuping.

At that time, when the two people heard him say "Nine Cases and Eighteen Fate" and sing "Book of Disciples", their eyes almost fell out of shock, and their admiration was beyond words.

Then these two people chased after him, insisting that he pass on the single mouth and children's book to them. apprenticeship.

Both sides couldn't take a step back, but they had no choice but to give up on this matter in the end.

Afterwards, he took in a few apprentices and wanted to pass on the skills he had learned and researched all his life, but he didn't expect that those apprentices of his were really evil disciples with extremely poor character. As a last resort, he broke off the relationship with the apprentices .

After that, he didn't have the mind to accept apprentices anymore. Anyway, he had so much time, he would always find the right person, but he didn't know that this waited until now.

As he grows older, sometimes he suddenly can't remember the jokes he said before, which makes him very scared. He is afraid that he will bring his skills into the coffin, and he can't wait to find someone to save him. His skills are passed on.

At this time, Chen Xi and Han Tianye appeared.

The grandsons of Chen Qisheng and Han Fuping are really good. He fell in love with these two young people at a glance, so he decided that he would pass on his most precious things to them, so that even if he died one day, his I can close my eyes peacefully...

Unexpectedly, after going full circle, his "Nine Cases and Eighteen Fate" and "Book of Disciples" still fell into the hands of Chen Qisheng and Han Fuping.

"Hahaha!"

Mr. Zhang laughed and cried again. In fact, he is very grateful to Chen Qisheng and Han Fuping, two old friends who understand him and know what he needs most now. It is not comfort, but to let himself know A great opportunity to pass on the skills!
