Tian Lihe, a celebrity in the world of comedy, what has he experienced in his comedy life?

Mr. Tian Lihe, a famous comedy performer, comedy educator, comedian, master of comedy, famous comedian, closed disciple of Zhang Shoushen, one of the few comedians of the Bao generation nowadays, and his wife, Zhang Wenxia, is also a famous comedian.

Tian Lihe was born into the family of a famous TCM doctor in Tianjin, but he did not follow in his father's footsteps. His third grade until after graduation from elementary school he read private school, read "Huanggang Bamboo House", "Yueyang Tower", "Irene", read this is to lay the foundation of his ancient literature, the future good to learn traditional Chinese medicine, because the medical ancient literature, you have to have no foundation in the classics, you can't read, and then read the "Three Character Classic of Medicine", "Pulse", "typhoid fever heart method of the secret", "Acupuncture and Moxibustion" to read this, he looked at it is too distressing. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

The young but a strong interest in comedy, the morning at home to see the doctor can not stand, followed by midnight clinic, the patient's sad face, and then he said that comedy, amateur performances, the audience under the stage wow wow laugh, seeking medical treatment are sad face, listening to comedy are smiling, they still do this good.

Comic opera originated in Beijing, formed in the Qing Dynasty during the reign of Xianfeng, Tongzhi, is a widely circulated, with a deep mass base of performing arts. Tianjin has always been the cradle for cultivating famous comedians, and many famous comedians have emerged. There were frequent exchanges between comedians in Beijing and Tianjin, and there was a saying in the Peking Opera circles that "Beijing sits in the section, Tianjin becomes popular, and Shanghai earns money.

In the world of comedy, many actors are in Tianjin after the performance of the red before they can perform around the country, due to the influence of the popularity of the comedy, in 1950 at the age of fifteen Tian Lihe revealed his obsession with the comedy and performance talent. Their yard is very large, the street residents are there to read the newspaper, dozens of mouths are with a small bench, after reading everyone asked to say, he listened to the radio that word, he said, said the effect is very good.

Later, with some of the old artists, he withdrew from the professional groups to participate in amateur performances, but also here and there to invite, street publicity, he went everywhere is a red corner, the performance is very hot, some people told his father, young masters line ah, do this line, it is the case. The father didn't stop Tian Lihe's choice, but he encountered his grandfather's opposition.

Despite this, it still didn't change Tian Lihe's original intention. He thought I have to eat my livelihood, he then understood, 15 or 16 years old, and looked for a teacher so into the door of the comic.

In the early days of the founding of new China, the Beijing-Tianjin comedy community is very active, Hou Baolin has led the Beijing Opera Troupe three times to perform in Tianjin, Tianjin, many famous comedian performances are also rich and colorful, this time Tian Lihe is like a fish out of water, almost every day hanging around in the place of the comedy show. Listen to two shows, the morning show is the noon show, the noon show and the evening show, listen to two shows, dinner is outside to buy some food, make do, just listen to the day, just like that day by day, listen to the Tianjin South Bird City, these brothers, these uncles of their work (comedy show) have heard.

Basically, they are playing on stage, they do not play, in the background read the comedy he will be quite a lot. This is a rule handed down in the history of the comedy world, and after you have formally learned from a master, you will have a gateway, which is equivalent to the qualification to do this business. With his love and dedication to comedy, Tian Lihe finally welcomed this day.

In 1950, he was introduced to the bird city, Tianjin City, Hebei Bird City, sound far Tea House to listen to live (comedy), where to listen to the segment, that is, the apprentice, to do the apprenticeship listening to half a year later, the light copying the words to read the words did not go on, Mr. Zhang (Zhang Shoushen) does not accept disciples, his father took him to Mr. Zhang's home, bought gifts, kneeling down and kowtowing on the worship, he remembers that his teacher was very embarrassed, and at that time, laughing and crying, straight shaking his hand, this can not this is afraid of reflecting ah, this is not the case. This can not be this fear of a reflection ah, not good ah this can not be accepted, and then the old man said you listen to it, listen to the paragraph, he said the commentary on their own to listen to their own listening to listen to their own performances to go, and so in 1953 on the official master.

Over the years of artistic practice, Tian Lihe formed his own dashing, humor, stage style, simple, baggage loud and crispy unique style. He often performs more than 30 traditional comedies, including "Sheep on a Tree", "Shandong Words", "Eight Panels", "String Book", "Crying Theory", and "The Great Bodyguard". However, the structure of these traditional comedies often incorporates a lot of current fashion elements, and his keen observation has enabled him to get the new elements just right.

You can't just talk about the old ones, because the new ones are more difficult than the old ones, and it's out of talent, not just the old ones, not like that. Because we do not have innovation in the inheritance, not completely eaten alive, I inherited the old paragraph, hit the old senior Zhu Shao Wen here I do not move, not like that, so that the comedy will be over.

In Tian Lihe's view, the audience likes comedy because of the humor element inherent in comedy, and for the audience of comedy there is also a process of cultivation. Art of this thing has a climax and low tide, it can not be the same all the time, it has a climax and low tide, with the general environment and economic development are related to the time really tired of listening to the pop tired, he audience to listen to this, listen to this and cultivate a new audience.

The audience also has to metabolize, in alternation, right, he does not listen to, now the children feel that the comic is too old to understand, they have a tape Cao Baolu single-string "five saints towards the sky" is very old, very traditional, their little grandson was sixteen years old to listen to the gaga music, a few years ago, Tian Li-Ho has completed a huge project, in order to disseminate knowledge of comedy to the general public, Tian Li-Ho lasted half a year for the Tianjin People's Broadcasting Station to record a comedy, the audience is very tired of listening to this, listen to this and cultivate a new audience. The People's Broadcasting Station recorded a comic miscellany type of program.

Tian Lihe Kan Xiangxiang***365 issues, aired every day, tells anecdotes of famous artists, introduces the knowledge of xiangxiang, explains the industry terminology, analyzes and comments on the famous segment, which has become a very valuable information to understand the art of xiangxiang, especially the traditional xiangxiang art. He put in a lot of effort, each segment he dissected, not the segment he acted, Mr. Ma Sanli acted he ate it through, commented on it, that is, his character, Zhang Erbo character's character, his ignorance, his performance in the plot as well as Mr. Ma's method of performance. Mr. Ma Sanli Ma then didn't see himself as a generation master, he melted things into the paragraphs.

At that time, at the age of seventy, the difficulties he experienced and the hardships he had to endure to accomplish such a vast amount of work can be imagined. Twenty minutes a day program, his own (his) a year's time, he half a year to make it into a final draft, he can not type, his hands are worn calluses, his half pencil head, torn paper to take this record, his original manuscripts are still there, a large pile of them, can not be sent out.

He thinks there is still value in publishing a book, one is not a lie, secondly, there are some little-known, some artistic insights, are there. In addition to this, Tian Lihe involved in a large number of traditional programs. To the extent that recording traditional programs was an opportunity for him, this is to say. He is not ecstatic, if he does not record this it, the comic world Tian Lihe I am afraid that no one knows, he should record.

A lifetime of companionship with the comic, the comic art of all the feelings accumulated in the late years of Tian Lihe in different ways back to his audience, perhaps the only way, he can feel comfort in his heart. He left part of his own things is his own accumulation of many years, do this line is not in vain, he is a number of things are accumulated, some of the descendants do not know, young artists he did not know the things, he accumulated it down, accumulation of their own can be passed on to the descendants, he knows the ins and outs of this thing, how the development of.
