Jiang Kun and Li Wenhua.
At the first CCTV Spring Festival Evening on 1983, Jiang Kun and Li Wenhua performed three cross talks, wrong steps, dialogues and soldiers' songs. At that time, Jiang Kun was in high spirits and articulate, and the cross talk made the audience burst into laughter. After two years of cooperation, they arrived at 1986. Because Li Wenhua was unwell, his partner was Tang Jiezhong, a fat old man with a happy face, which made the audience like him at first sight.
The two of them performed many excellent cross talk works, such as Photography, Scared Dream in the Tiger's Mouth and so on. This is also the golden age of Jiang Kun crosstalk development. You can hear his cross talk almost everywhere. It is as popular as Degang Guo today. After ten years of cooperation, Jiang Kun has a new partner, Dai Zhicheng. They began to talk cross talk on the stage of the Spring Festival Evening from 1996, and they have cooperated to this day. Although he could not surpass his cooperation with Tang Jiezhong in singing, their cooperation was recognized by the audience.
Essays are on the rise and crosstalk is on the decline.
With the increasing popularity of sketches, crosstalk began to decline step by step, and Jiang Kun began to move towards a political career. From the head of the China Radio and Rap Troupe to the chairman of the Music Association, Jiang Kun spent more time on the development of cross talk and tapping new people, but rarely published new cross talk works himself.
The decline of crosstalk is also doomed. After all, after the appearance of sketches, this general trend will be difficult to reverse, and subsequent talk shows will also carve up the sketch market, which is also difficult to change.
Jiang Kun retired as a leader and had no time to create.
Jiang Kun has retired, and his re-election as president of the Music Association was very successful. There is no need for him to have a cross talk. Degang Guo is less than 50 years old and hasn't produced any works, and the crosstalk in front of him can't be called "Zapin". It's all about changing others, plus some online jokes. Degang Guo doesn't talk about cross talk now. What's more, Jiang Kun and Jiang Kun, who are over 70 years old, joined the Book Association and successfully transformed into painters and calligraphers. Degang Guo, a master of Jiang Kun Jianghu, is beyond his reach. Although walking a tightrope all day, the master is not hype. As for the two honors of Chairman of the Music Association and CPPCC member, Degang Guo can't surpass them all his life.
Many works of art have the background of the times, which produces unusual light in a specific background of the times and will gradually become mediocre over time; There are also many works that nobody cares about when they are created, and then bloom their own light a few years later. Cao's Dream of Red Mansions and Van Gogh's works are typical examples. Jiang Kun's time has passed, not because he didn't want to create classic crosstalk works, but because he didn't have the time and energy to create classic crosstalk works.
