I remember that when "Zaquyuan" was popular in the 1990s, the host Wang Wenhua once grandly introduced a pair of crosstalk groups, saying that their performance style was suitable for both the past and the present, and they were good at both traditional music and Traditional music, modern cross talk, typhoon is very humorous, generous, solid cross talk skills, etc. Anyway, it is very popular. At that time, I thought, who is this? At that time, Ma Ji rarely came out. Gao Yingpei, Li Jindou and others are addicted to cross talk, Jiang Kun, Tang Jiezhong and Niu Qun, Feng Gongzheng are very powerful, but they are all modern cross talk, who are they?

I thought it was these two dishonest people, but he showed up, haha! It turned out to be these two. I was a little disappointed at first because they weren't considered newcomers. Ten years ago they had a certain reputation. They just weren't on TV. They did make cross talk movies, and they both played supporting roles in Ma Ji's "Laughter and Love". ? But think about Wang Wenhua's words again, not to mention that you are very accurate. The characteristics of these two people are basically the same.

This is the Qianxiang Zengrui combination, abbreviated as "Xiangrui combination" Wang Qianxiang and Li Zengrui. An "old" artist with a professional background

Wang Qianxiang is a native of Tianjin and is located in Daduyuan Village, Chengguan Town, Wuqing City, Tianjin. This village also has Li Runjie, the founder of Li Pai Allegro. Wang Qianxiang said: "The people who talk about cross talk are in Beijing, and the capable people are in Tianjin."

Wang Qianxiang’s father is an art fan, and his workplace is opposite the Chinese Theater. He has been training his son to be a crosstalk performer. When he was a teenager, Wang Qianxiang chatted with his father's partner about homemade cross talk. In 1960, the Beijing Folk Art Troupe recruited students. Liu Xuetao, a friend of Wang Qianxiang's father, introduced Wang Qianxiang to apply for the exam and passed it. There, he met his lifelong partner Li Zengrui.

Li Zengrui was born in Beijing in 1947. He is one year older than Wang Qianxiang. It is said that his main purpose of applying to the Peking Opera Troupe was to make money. The state provided a monthly subsidy of more than ten yuan, which was a lot of money in the 1960s.

Two of their classmates in the Beijing Folk Art Troupe are Li Jindou and Wang Wenyou. The teachers are Wang Wenlin’s father Wang Changyou and Chen Yongquan’s master Tan Boru. At the same time, Li Zengrui also learned Allegro from Wang Xueyi, Gao Fengshan's apprentice.

The teaching style of Wang Changyou and Tan Boru is to encourage students to practice their performances. The teacher sat next to them and only gave the students instructions, but did not fill the ducks. As a result, this heuristic and hands-on teaching makes none of their students look like their own students. But they all have one characteristic, that is, they have super performance ability, no stage fear, and the stage is full of aura.

Precisely because there are two responsible and capable teachers, Wang Qianxiang, Li Zengrui and Li Jindou are more comprehensive than many crosstalk actors of the same generation. They will talk about modern cross talk, and traditional cross talk is not a problem. So you see that the performance styles of Wang Qianxiang and Li Zengrui are very ancient, and they can be said to be old artists in the new era. Generations delayed by Li Jindou

Wang Qianxiang was born in 1948, and Li Zengrui was born in 1947. It's reasonable to say that approving teachers their age isn't that big of an issue. For example, you can worship Wang Changyou directly. Wang Wenlin was also born in 1947. No matter the age or relationship, there is no problem.

Especially Wang Qianxiang, he had two opportunities to pay homage to the elderly. One is when Liu Xuetao, who introduced him, met Hou Baolin and Zhao Shizhong, who introduced him. He discussed with Wang Qianxiang's father, hoping that Wang Qianxiang could become a disciple of Hou Baolin, because Hou Baolin had a very good talent and character, but he still did not become an apprentice.

When Wang Qianxiang was in his thirties, Guo Rongqi from Tianjin once took a fancy to him. Guo Rongqi directly invited him to his home in Tianjin to talk with him, and these remarks actually meant accepting him. But Wang Qianxiang didn't even dare to go. Guo Rongqi is born with the character longevity. After worshiping him, he became a Baozi generation. He became the youngest Baozi generation (at that time, Chang Baofeng had not yet had a teacher), so he could only refuse.

It is said that the main reason why Wang Qianxiang and Li Zengrui did not worship their elders was because of Li Jindou. Li Jindou was also born in 1947. He worshiped Zhao Zhenduo as his teacher when he was 14 years old. He made several classmates unable to worship their elders.

Wang Qianxiang and Li Zengrui have been following Wang Changyou and Tan Boru. Tan Boru died in 1976 and Wang Changyou died in 1984. Later, under the introduction of Lian Chunming, the two became apprentices to Ma Ji and became the younger generation of Ming artists.

Looking back now, Wang Qianxiang and Li Zengrui basically took advantage of Ma Ji's subordinates. They and Ma Ji's other disciples don't look very good, but the two of them are also kind. Following Ma Ji gets many performance and participation opportunities, which is also considered a win-win.

One more thing, I think Lian Chunming was a hidden boss in the world of cross talk in the 1980s. Many famous cross talk actors are related to him. No wonder Guo Degang worshiped him as his godfather in the early 21st century. They are also sons and daughters

Wang Qianxiang and Li Zengrui have many famous jokes, such as "Wind Disaster", "Horse Taming Expert", "Uncle and Sister-in-law" which won awards in the 1980s. Most of these crosstalks were written by Lian Chunming.

The reason why Qianxiang Zengrui’s fame has greatly increased is "Changing Packaging". Although it was written by Ma Guirong, it made both Qian Xiangzengrui popular, especially "Qianxiang Turtle King" and "Li Gensaorui" were more popular.

It can make other people's cross talk popular, and the cross talk they make up themselves is pretty good. "Drama and Song" won the grand prize, and "Dialect Foreign Language" even spread to foreign countries. At the same time, their inheritance of traditional cross talk has not fallen behind. Their specialty was "Luo Cheng Plays Diao Chan", and Wang Changyou taught them "The Art of Crying". Conclusion

After watching the cross talk between Wang Qianxiang and Li Zengrui for many years, you will have two feelings. First, they are actually a combination of Zi and Mu. When you talk about the combination of Zi and Mu, You have to take them with you. Secondly, Wang Wenhua’s words of praise for them were not exaggerated!

Now the Xiangrui group has crossed 61 years. In the words of the two of them, the two of them have been together longer than they have been with their wife. I wish them the best of luck in continuing to record longer and longer.
