Li Guosheng is a relatively versatile crosstalk performer. He studied under Luo Rongshou, but he also studied three comic dialogues with Liu Baorui for three years. His traditional foundation is quite solid. Although Mr. Li later gave priority to clapping his hands, he was actually able to tease and hug, but he also had creative ability, and there were almost no dead ends in technology.
The first half of Li Guosheng's crosstalk career is relatively unknown, which is a bit like Yang Shaohua's. Although he is famous in the circle, he has never had a chance to get on the big stage. He always talks cross talk in factories, troops and other places, and Man has never been able to get on.
By the end of 1970s, he finally met an important figure in his life-the post-master, and he returned to the stage of cross talk. Master Hou listed him as his guest, and they worked together continuously for two years. Master Hou spoke highly of him, saying that he could even be a guest with his eyes.
In fact, this is Li Guosheng's greatest advantage. He is born with a vivid appearance and rich expression, and is especially good at changing his expression with funny words. Unfortunately, his cooperation with Master Hou failed to leave audio-visual materials, but this advantage can be seen from his cooperation with Cutting and Bathing. Li Guosheng always cooperated with Wang Shichen's story and constantly adjusted his expression. Even if the audience kept staring at Li Guosheng, they knew it was funny. Personally, I think Li Guosheng's version of Cut the Bathtub is much better than Mr. Zhao Shizhong's version.
Master Hou has such high requirements for cross talk. He worked with giants such as Guo Qiru, Guo Quanbao and Liu Baorui, but later he was replaced by a newcomer, Li Guosheng. Master Hou was still full of praise. They didn't even say anything right for the first time, and they barely managed. Later, on another occasion, the duke suddenly changed his mind before he came to power and made fun of him, but he didn't spill the soup.
It's a pity that Master Hou came back temporarily to support the new couple. In fact, he had the will to quit the stage long ago and wanted to go behind the scenes to do the work of cross talk theory construction, so Master Hou did not continue to cooperate with him after he lifted the vine.
1979, Li Guosheng was transferred to Beijing Quyi Troupe, and formally cooperated with Xiaolin the following year, which opened the most popular period of his artistic career.
I have to say, Kobayashi's style is quite strange, and he learns to sing too much, or he mainly learns to sing, and the proportion of telling jokes is minimized. However, there is nothing that can be done. After all, Xiaolin was born as a singer, and crosstalk became a monk halfway. He can't change his profession if he wants to.
The proportion of singing is too much, and the burden is piled up in the lyrics, which makes Li Guosheng have no sense of existence around Xiaolin, but it can also be said that only Li Guosheng's ability can hold Xiaolin up and make Xiaolin's performance look like a cross talk. Substitution may really become a silent telephone pole.
This cooperation between the two is 25 years. After retirement, Xiaolin Li Guo Sheng stopped cooperating, and Mr. Li Guosheng went to measure the work of the youth of Beijing Quyi Troupe and continued to be a green leaf. Li Guosheng is now over 80 years old and still full of vigor and vitality. Their generation needs to do a lot of work.
