Time flies, this year is the 100th birthday of the "hero", and I always remember that I still owe Mr. a "Wei Xiaobao".
Written by Wang Rugang
There are always some wonderful opportunities in life. It has been 22 years since I was fortunate to be associated with Mr. Jin Yong.
Wang Rugang is close-up.
On April 29, 2002, the 85th birthday banquet of the funny master Yao Mushuang was held in the "New Green Wave Corridor" in the City God Temple. On that day, the four generations of the music industry were in the same house. Although I knew that the "row of apprentices" (the "two-character generation" of Mr. Yao and Zhou) at the banquet wanted to perform for Mr. Yao's blessings, it was enough to feast my eyes. However, I had already made an appointment with an overseas friend to meet at the old "Green Wave Corridor" by the Jiuqu Bridge, so I had to leave the table to "catch up with the scene".
Walking into the old "Green Wave Corridor", the welcome lady greeted me with a smile when she saw me: "Wang Xiaomao is here, please upstairs!" She exhaled softly, eliciting laughter from the customers and startling an old man walking in front of me. The old man turned around and saw that he was graceful, with a smiling face like Maitreya Buddha, and bright eyes under the thick sword eyebrows, ah, it turned out to be "Jin Daxia", Mr. Zha Liangyong. I hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Cha!" I am your reader ......The entourage whispered a few words to Jin Yong, and Mr. Jin Yong smiled at me and sent an invitation: "Please come and sit together." "Daxia" is fluent in Shanghainese with a slight Zhejiang accent.
Before my friend arrived, I went to visit Mr. Jin Yong first. "Hero" was very enthusiastic, and when he heard that I was the actor of "Wang Xiaomao", he immediately held my hand and said: "I know, I know, I know that Nong is a funny celebrity. I also joked: "* Mr. Cha's writings are equal to his body, 'Flying snow shoots white deer in the sky, and the smiling book hero leans on the blue duck', who in the world doesn't know you?" I have admired you for a long time, and I have admired you for a long time, and I have made sweet wine. The "hero" laughed when he heard it, and the host saw that the two of us were familiar at first sight, and immediately asked the waiter to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks. I went to my box to ask for leave and came to accompany Mr. and Mrs. Jin Yong. The gentleman enthusiastically introduced me to the entourage at the same table: it turned out that the petite middle-aged woman was Mrs. Cha, as well as a reporter and a few young friends. He made a special trip to Shanghai this time to accept the invitation of Wen Wei Po to have a dialogue with the Brazilian writer Coelho, and there was no special arrangement for other than that, and he could leisurely taste Shanghai food for three days, watch Kunqu Opera Pingtan, and meet the old rain and new knowledge.
Wang Rugang and Jin Yong met by chance in Shanghai.
When it comes to the burlesque that I have listened to since I was a child, "Daxia" opened the conversation: "The burlesque performance is interesting, I like it a lot, I used to listen to it on the radio in Chenguang, Shanghai, and some programs still have an impression." I hurriedly asked, "What joke have you heard?" The "hero" thought for a while: "Oh, it seems to be Yao Mushuang, Zhou Bochun, Yang Huasheng, and Xiaoxi's performances of "Burning Tofu Shop", "Seventy-two Tenants", "Closing the Store Auction" ......I smiled and answered: "I didn't expect Mr. Cha to be so familiar with and love our Shanghai style funny." When Mr. Jin Yong heard this, he looked at me with a smile: "It's just that I haven't heard Nong's play with my own ears." The humorous and playful expression seemed to have a hint of regret, which instantly amused everyone present. While complimenting Mr. on how fast his "interface order" was, I volunteered: "Since Mr. likes to listen, I will say a paragraph for you on the spot." Seeing that Mr. nodded again and again, I immediately performed a dialect selling in the drama "Everywhere and the Place". Mr. Jin Yong and his wife listened to it, clapped their hands and applauded, and said with a smile: "Dialect is a treasure of burlesque, I still remember listening to Yao Mushuang and Zhou Baichun's "Ningbo ** Home" when I was young, and I also used dialect to make a gimmick, 'Come and make, rice yarn degree (take) to'......."My heart was hot, and I quickly told him: "Today is Mr. Yao Mushuang's 85th birthday, and we in the burlesque world are celebrating his birthday." "Oh, that's a coincidence. "Hero" raised his eyebrows and said excitedly: "I invite you to dinner together, and then you accompany me to pay homage to Mr. Yao Mushuang, okay?" "Okay. I couldn't wait to say yes. Daxia said humorously: "Although I am not familiar with Mr. Yao, I have been listening to his program before, and I have not thanked anyone in person." ”
It's better to be respectful than to obey fate, so I sat next to Jin Yong to "Da Nakoufu". After the meal, I accompanied Mr. Jin Yong to the "New Green Wave Corridor", I thought that the meeting between Jin and Yao would be enough to promote a good story, but unfortunately I missed it, Mr. Yao was very old, so I went back to the house to rest first. Two years later, Yao Laoxian passed away, and the "Jin Yao" meeting turned out to be a great regret, which made people sigh. Fortunately, there were still many friends in the burlesque industry at that time, and they were overjoyed to see Mr. Jin Yong, and they all stepped forward to greet him and ask him to sign a group photo. Mr. Jin Yong was also invited to speak, he hoped that the Shanghai style of burlesque art could be carried forward, and an enthusiastic speech pushed the banquet to a climax.
It was nearly 3 p.m. when I left, and Mr. Jin Yong, who was 78 years old, was still full of interest, and before getting into the car, he said to me seriously: "Burlesque is an art that the common people like to see, and it can broaden new themes." If you play Wei Xiaobao in my "The Legend of Deer and Ding", I will not charge a cent of copyright fees. "I am really touched by the kindness of my husband. Time flies, this year is the 100th birthday of the "hero", and I always remember that I still owe Mr. a "Wei Xiaobao". And the autographed inscription that Mr. gave me that year has been hanging in my study - "Mr. Wang Rugang: Funny Xuanqu laughs and scolds, and comments on life and inspires the world." ”
Jin Yong gave Wang Rugang an autographed inscription.
