In the Year of the Dragon, the dragon soars and the tiger leaps, and the ancient capital is reborn. On February 3, the 9th Bell and Drum Tower Cross Talk Conference was held in the Children's Palace of Dongcheng District, Beijing. This concentrated performance of cross talk, as always, brought the wonderful performances of old, middle-aged and young cross talk artists, walked among the masses, walked into life, and strived to present a music feast that made the masses happy and satisfied.
This year's Bell and Drum Tower cross talk will be sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Dongcheng District Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Beijing Dongcheng District Culture and Tourism Bureau, and jointly organized by the Beijing Dongcheng District Quyi Artists Association and the Beijing Dongcheng District Children's Palace.
In order to welcome the Spring Festival, this year's cross talk will specially launch the Spring Festival special session of "Everything Flourishes 'Dragon'", where famous artists and new talents will be staged in turn, and famous and new works will be hilarious. The event invited more than 20 cross talk artists such as Li Jindou, Shi Fukuan, Li Weijian, Li Yinfei, Ye Peng, Li Ding, etc., to appear on the stage and interact cordially with the audience.
The performance program not only gathers excerpts from traditional classic cross talk by many famous cross talk artists, but also integrates wonderful works created by young cross talk talents. In programs such as "Laughter", "Comedy Life", "Poems of Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" and "Happy Heaven", there are constant burdens and laughter, which fully demonstrates the charm of crosstalk art. Familiar faces, wonderful performances, and innovative program content can be described as wonderful and full of highlights, providing the audience with a cultural feast full of New Year's flavor and classics. On the stage, the vivid performances and vivid tones of the cross talk actors all show their profound skills, with constant baggage and surprises, which are deeply loved by the audience and friends.
