"How do you know everyone?"

Someone once asked Ma Weidou.

This is related to Ma Weidou's rich work experience in his early years. He has written novels, worked as a literary editor and met many young writers such as Wang Shuo, Mo Yan and Liu Zhenyun. After that, I worked in film and television, so I met many actors, such as Ge You and Tian Liang. And his collection career has brought him more opportunities.

Liang Zuo and Ma Weidou also know each other. He met Liang Zuo through his good friend Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo met Liang Zuo on 1992. At that time, Song Dandan wanted to make a comedy movie and let Wang Shuo write a script. Wang Shuo has no idea and wants to draw another person. Before that, he had heard the cross talk written by Liang Zuo, and he thought it was very good. He asked Tian Liang the telephone number of his brother Liang Zuo and called him to invite him.

Before meeting Liang Zuo, Wang Shuo thought he would be an extroverted skinny man. When he met him, he found that he was a fat and kind gentleman with small eyes like Tian Liang, hiding behind thick glasses and seeing people laughing at each other. He spoke carefully and was very concerned about each other's reaction. His pronunciation is a little Lickitung. When you have nothing to say, you are quiet and keep your eyes on the ground.

After getting to know Liang Zuo, Wang Shuo brought him into the active literary and film circles. One day, Wang Shuo and Liang Zuo came together and told the people present that the fat man was a screenwriter and his name was Liang Zuo.

At that time, Ma Weidou was present.

Ma Weidou, 26, published a novel "Full Moon Tonight" in China Youth Daily, which attracted readers' attention. After the novel was published, Ma Weidou was transferred to Youth Literature as an editor, and then entered the literary world. At the end of 1980s, Ma Weidou, Wang Shuo and Liu Zhenyun founded Haima Film Studio, and participated in the creation of The Story of Editorial Department and Haima Song and Dance Hall.

In Ma Weidou's view, the society at that time had a very different concept from today. At that time, people always felt that the literary status of the script was lower than that of the novel, even several times lower, and the status of crosstalk in the literary world was even lower, so I was embarrassed to say that Wang Shuo introduced Liang Zuo to write the script that day.

After Wang Shuo's introduction, he added that this is Tian Liang's younger brother. At that time, Tian Liang had appeared in films and TV dramas such as Rogue and Opening a Shop by the Second Son, and most people knew that there was such a special actor.

Ma Weidou looked at Liang Zuo and thought, "This man seems to have nothing to do with Tian Liang." Later, after getting familiar with Liang Zuo, Ma Weidou joked with people more than once, saying whether the two men were brothers. In fact, this is directly related to Tian Liang not getting fat at that time. Later, as Tian Liang became fatter, the two brothers looked more and more alike.

In Ma Weidou's eyes, Liang Zuo is always carefree, and everything he says and does is in a hurry, just like a loose fairy.

1994 or so, Liang Zuo often goes to the small antique shop in Ma Weidou of Liulichang to chat with him. There are many second-hand bookstores around here. Liang Zuo used to look for second-hand books. When he was tired, he went to the shops in Ma Weidou to have a rest.

Ma Weidou participated in this series earlier. 1990, he wrote "Ma Shuo Ceramics", telling the history of ceramics with a brief history. This book later became the enlightenment reading for many ceramic collectors. However, due to the lack of contact at that time, many people thought that the collection was very different. By 1992, Ma Weidou had many personal collections, so he applied to the administrative department to open a private museum. Government workers thought he was whimsical and said, "Don't make trouble here." .

The museum failed to open, so Ma Weidou rented a small shop in Liulichang. The shop is exquisitely designed with a small patio. When business is not busy, he will leave a lot of free time. He and his friends often sit in the yard and chat.

When Liang Zuo saw Ma Weidou leisurely in the shop, he was envious. He said to him many times, "It's good for you. You can make money without hard work. We should write well at ordinary times. " In Ma Weidou's view, Liang Zuo's words are "Piantang dialect".

Ma Weidou has long been used to this way of speaking. At that time, all his friends, led by Wang Shuo, did not talk seriously. On the contrary, if you speak carefully, people will say, "Why can't you relax?" . It may be offensive to meet someone who talks like this for the first time, but Chinese is rich in connotation, so it is totally acceptable for friends to criticize like this. Ma Weidou called it abusive praise, or complimentary abuse.

Ma Weidou is particularly fond of crosstalk, and many people say that his voice is a bit like that of crosstalk master Liu Baorui. When chatting with Liang Zuo, Ma Weidou often mentioned that his cross talk was very good.

He thinks crosstalk is the art of oral expression. The really good cross talk is that the actors stand there without any help. They just chat and make you happy. Sometimes I know this burden clearly, but I still want to be happy when I listen to the actors. Many cross talks between horses and chariots can achieve this effect. Ma Weidou thinks that the best cross talk is stand-up cross talk, without the support of baton.

In Ma Weidou's eyes, Liang Zuo once made crosstalk shine through one creation after another. He can fully understand when Liang Zuo left the crosstalk industry. Because TV can't give full play to the advantages of cross talk, for example, the hanging skills are almost gone now, and the same cross talk is different almost every time in the teahouse, adding fresh elements. With the weakening of strength and strict content censorship, TV cross talk has reached a dead end.

I don't always say cross talk.

One day, while chatting, Liang Zuo suddenly asked, I have 50,000 yuan of spare money. Can you buy me one worth more than 50 thousand? Hearing this, Ma Weidou was shocked, because he has always had principles, and it is easy for friends not to do business to hurt their feelings.

However, Ma Weidou still asked Liang Zuo, what does "worth more than 50,000 yuan" mean? I see its future value, or I think it's worth it now, or I sell it to you for 50 thousand, you pay the bill and sell it to me, and you make a net profit of 30 thousand? Liang Zuo smiled: Of course, this is the last meaning, which can be realized on the spot.

In fact, Ma Weidou is a trumpet player, and he advocates collecting in his circle of friends. He hopes that all his friends around him really like these things, not just for investment. If you have an old thing, you will appreciate it, study it, and you will appreciate the pleasure of collecting it.

Liang Zuo's shops have very good items suitable for his collection. Red washed in Yongzheng period can be bought within 50 thousand and above 20 thousand. Ma Weidou said to Liang Zuo, you are a scholar. You should buy this pen and put it on your desk. You see, you are popular now, and it will be even more popular if you buy this. Liang Zuo looked at it carefully and said, "This thing is so red that you can't see the sense of history. How can I be sure it is Yongzheng? "

Ma Weidou concluded that Liang Zuo was a complete layman. He explained that monochrome glaze is not good-looking, and most people feel red at first sight, but you should pay attention to the feeling of orange peel, which is a typical feature of Yongzheng red glaze.

Liang Zuo studied for a long time, but he still couldn't see what was good. He thinks orange peel should be yellow, and there are more acne.

In Ma Weidou's view, although Liang Zuo studied A Dream of Red Mansions for many years and listed many rare treasures in the book, after all, he only stayed in words, and Liang Zuo saw few objects, so he had no feeling about this brush amount. In addition, there is no standard annual fee for the object, and you can't get an annual fee of 20 thousand. There were few fakes at that time, but only in this century did more imitations appear.

The pen was washed, but Liang Zuo didn't buy it in the end and didn't tell Ma Weidou to keep it for him. Later, when we met again, Liang Zuo didn't mention it to Ma Weidou. Maybe it was just a whim. That pen was later bought by someone else.

A few years later, at a party on 20 13, Ma Weidou met Liang Zuo's daughter Qinger Liang. He had mixed feelings when he saw that the child looked like his father. In the memory of Liang Zuo, who is 43 years old forever, Ma Weidou should still have black hair, but in fact his hair has turned gray.

Ma Weidou often said that people can't live without things. As long as you take out an object between Yongzheng and Qianlong, at least ten generations will pass.

Seeing his best friend's children, Ma Weidou regretted not helping Liang Zuo collect antiques. If it is done, it is a confession to the child. He can pick up a red brush and say, "Look, son, I chose this for your father. It is still there, still so red. "

On May 9, 2000109, Liang Zuo, who was under 44 years old, left with a smile. His black hair didn't turn white.
