The three emperors and five emperors of morality, the famous Xia Hou Shang ZhouThe five tyrants and seven heroes made trouble in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Qin and Han dynasties rose and fell. There are several lines of names and surnames in the history, and there are countless barren hills in the northThe fields of the predecessors were collected by the later generations, and it was said that the dragon and the tiger were fighting ......As a grandmaster-level figure in the storytelling industry, Mr. Shan Tianfang has not only compiled and broadcast the traditional books "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "Romance of the Fengshen", "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", "Ming Yinglie", "Tong Lin Biography", etc.; What's even more commendable is that he also independently created many classic titles such as "White Eyebrows" and "Heroes in Troubled Times", which other storytelling masters do not have.
"What kind of knife is the knife, the gold-wire big ring knife; What kind of sword is the sword, the Closed Moon Shame Light Sword ......”There are two reasons why Mr. Shan Tianfang has been able to achieve such a booktelling achievement:
First, Mr. Shan Tianfang's educational level is high enough, in the storytelling industry with a per capita kindergarten education level (affected by the social environment, most storytelling performance artists have never gone to school, and even many of them can't read, all rely on rote memorization), Mr. Shan Tianfang's bachelor's degree can no longer be described as a spike.
It can be said that it is Mr. Shan Tianfang's own efforts that has raised the average educational level of the storytelling industry to the second grade of primary school.
Shan Tianfang's family is very knowledgeable, although they have been displaced before the liberation, they still insist that Shan Tianfang finish primary and secondary school.
In 1953, Shan Tianfang graduated from Shenyang No. 27 Middle School and took the college entrance examination.
At that time, there was a boom in the construction of new China by engineers across the country, so Shan Tianfang applied for the mechanical engineering major of Northeastern University.
As a result, he was admitted with excellent grades.
Don't say that in that era when all graduates from high school were considered cultural people, even now, Northeastern University is also one of the 39 985 key universities in the country. Whoever has a child in the family can be admitted, when notifying relatives and friends to play ** before holding a college promotion banquet, the voice will be three or five points higher.
Not to mention that the acceptance rate of the college entrance examination at that time could no longer be described as a "single-plank bridge".
It can be seen that Shan Tianfang is definitely a fighter among the top students.
During his studies at Northeastern University, Shan Tianfang's family had a major accident, and he himself had a serious illness, so he was forced to drop out of school in desperation.
Failing to obtain a bachelor's degree certificate from Northeastern University is a big regret for Shan Tianfang.
Therefore, I later found an opportunity to study correspondence in the Department of History of Liaoning University, and successfully obtained an undergraduate diploma (at that time, correspondence study was full of gold, and there was no going through the motions, and the examination was very strict).
Second, the family history is amazing. Shan Tianfang was born in a family of storytellers, and his mother Wang Xianggui is a famous drum master of the Xihe River, nicknamed "White Girl", representing the repertoire "Yang Jiajiang" and "Jiang Gan Stealing Books", and has been received by national leaders such as Dong Biwu; Grandfather Wang Fuyi is a well-known bamboo board book artist in Hebei, and his three uncles are also famous storytellers, especially the third uncle Wang Laijun, nicknamed "Little Sage".
Shan Tianfang's father Shan Yongkui, uncle Shan Yongsheng, and uncle Shan Yonghuai are also celebrities in the book industry, among which Shan Yongsheng is nicknamed "Eight-year-old Red".
In Shan Tianfang's generation, although there are many brothers and sisters, it is strange to say that he is only a man.
So, can you imagine how many family teachers Shan Tianfang will receive when he decides to embark on the road of storytelling?
Speaking of the illiterate people who talk about the commentary, some people may not believe it. In fact, according to Mr. Shan Tianfang's recollection, his parents were illiterate, and several of his senior sisters could not even write their own names.
Storytelling is all about words and deedsMemorize by heart
Therefore, the vast majority of storytellers at that time would only talk about two or three books, or even one or two.
Moreover, the repertoire of storytelling that we are familiar with is actually inherited from the Ming and Qing dynasties, including "The Complete Biography of the Tang Dynasty", "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "The Biography of Tong Lin", "The Five Righteousness of the Seven Heroes", "The Complete Biography of Yue" and so on.
In other words, these storytellers themselves do not have the ability to create independently, and those who can make partial adaptations and improvements are already considered outstanding.
However, Mr. Shan Tianfang is different, and his creative ability is unique.
For example, "White Eyebrows" is a new bibliography created completely independently.
Moreover, in the process of creating "White Eyebrows", he creatively used the outline style, that is, first listing the overall plot outline, and then filling it in one by one.
This is a creative method that has never been used in the creation of storytelling before, and the advantages are very obvious, especially to avoid bad endings.
Today, the creation of online literature is in the form of outlines. Without a complete outline, the editor does not give a contract.
In addition, the dynamic ranking of the heavenly list, the bonus of divine soldiers, and the division of the realm of swordsmen and knights used in "White Eyebrows" are all commonly used in today's online literature industry.
You must know that "White Eyebrows" was created in the eighties of the last century, nearly half a century ago. The earliest popularity of online articles was only in the first decade of this century.
It can be seen that Mr. Shan Tianfang's amazing talent has reached a certain point!
And the character creation in "White Eyebrows" is also amazing.
The protagonist Xu Liang turned out to be a strangely ugly-looking character, and his personality is also a bit of good and evil.
This kind of subversive protagonist shaping, not to mention in the traditional storytelling industry, even in the online literature industry, no one dares to try it easily.
What's more, Shan Tianfang has also been successfully shaped, and it is a great success!
And the portrayal of villains has also changed from the traditional face-painting style, such as the golden lantern swordsman Xia Suiliang, who has become a failed but tragic villain. He was arrogant, and he was only pulled into the water because he was careless in making friends.
As for Fang Shu'an, Bai Yunrui, Long Yunfeng, etc., the characters are also three-dimensional, visual, and vivid.
The coin grid for the various character names is also high enough:
The white-clothed prodigy Little Sword Demon, the 10,000-year-old Ancient Buddha Murmuring Arhat, the Flying Sword Immortal Zhu Liang, the Overseas Yesuo, the Hundred Steps Divine Fist Shadowless Palm, the Reclining Buddha Kunlun Monk, the White Cloud Swordsman Xiahou Ren, the Feiyun Dao Chief Guo Dada, the Crazy Monk Drunken Bodhi, the Hanjiang Lonely Goose Shang Yunfeng, the Golden-eyed and Aggressive Mei Liangzu, and so on.
I can't finish it, I can't finish it at all.
All of them are very brilliant and amazing!
Moreover, so many characters are portrayed in a unique style, without overlap, the plot is interspersed naturally and vividly, and the character handling is smooth, which shows Mr. Shan Tianfang's incomparably strong control ability.
This is at the starting point of today's online literature industry, although there are many great gods, but few people can do it.
What's even more bizarre is that Shan Tianfang only took seven months to create the huge work "White Eyebrows". Put it today, a proper platinum god in the online literature industry1。
At that time, when television was not yet popular, listening to the radio was almost the only way for people to be entertained, which made storytelling a hot topic of attention.
For a time, a large number of famous storytellers emerged, including Lian Kuoru, Yuan Kuocheng, Tian Lianyuan, Liu Lanfang, Lian Liru, Chen Yinrong, Qi Xinying, Ding Jianzhong, and so on.
Each famous artist has his own masterpieces, such as Liu Lanfang's "The Complete Biography of Yue", Yuan Kuocheng's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Tian Lianyuan's "Yang Jiajiang", and Lian Kuoru's "Romance of the Eastern Han Dynasty".
However, in terms of core works, there are more than three or five, and as few as one or two.
As mentioned earlier, that generation of storytellers grew up in the old society, limited by family conditions and social background, few of them went to school, and even some of them could not read, all relying on memory.
This also determines that the number of works mastered by storytellers will not be too much, in fact, being able to memorize several complete sets of works is already talented. If it's us ordinary people, don't even think about it.
Therefore, storytellers in the old society were always wandering, and they had to move once a year on average.
There's no way, just those few sets of books, in the fixed tea house, can't you talk about it again after you've finished speaking?
However, when it comes to Shan Tianfang, everything is not a problem.
In the old society, not every parent had the knowledge and ability to send their children to school.
Shan Tianfang's education level is high enough, his talent is good enough, and his family education is good enough, which can be regarded as an exception in the storytelling world.
Throughout his life, a total of 106 storytelling works were recorded, which is a shocking number, and the vast majority of storytellers can't even reach this fraction.
Although there are indeed some relatively watery works, no matter what you count, there are dozens of representative classic works, including"Romance of the Gods", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "The Legend of the Later Tang Dynasty", "Xue Dingshan's Expedition to the West", "Xue Jiajiang", "Journey to the West", "The Complete Biography of the Water Margin", "The Biography of the Water Margin", "The Heroes of the Ming Dynasty", ".The Iron Umbrella Monster", "Three Heroes Sword", "The Legend of Tong Lin"., "Little Five Righteousness", "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", "Seven Heroes and Little Five Righteousness"., "White Eyebrows", "Heroes in the Troubled City", "A Hundred Years of Storm", "Heroes".and so on.
The total number of works is dozens of times that of other famous storytellers, and the number of classic works is also more than ten times that of other famous storytellers.
The most important thing is that Shan Tian Fang is returnedIndependenceIt's done"White Eyebrows", "ChaosworldHeroesThe Iron Umbrella Monster, "One Hundred Years of Storm", "Heroes"., "Tianjing Blood and Tears", "Zeng Guofan", "Lin Zexu".and many other high-quality classic worksCreation
There is no way, Shan Tianfang's creative ability is too strong, although there are a few other famous storytellers with certain creative ability, and they have also created one or two works independently in their careers. But when it comes to quality, to put it mildly, you can't even see the taillights of "White Eyebrows" and "Heroes in Troubled Times"; As for the quantity, it can't be compared, and the fraction is not enough.
"What kind of person is a person, a person who walks on the wall; What kind of love is love, beauty loves heroes"!"Wherever there is a well, there is Shan Tianfang", Mr. Shan Tianfang's slightly hoarse voice has become a classic memory of several generations.
The master of storytelling is none other than Mr. Shan Tianfang.
