Behind-the-scenes Production of Wrestling Sangqin

1982 Li, director of Tieling Mass Art Museum, went to the May 8th Sea Brigade in Aji Town, Tieling County to experience life. A fortune teller came to the village, saying that Liu Yin was all male in those days, which made some women of childbearing age in the village who were looking forward to having boys compete for pregnancy and interfered with family planning in the village. Li: When I came back, I thought about it. I basically stayed up all night and conceived a "three strings" story. The deputy head of the Folk Art Troupe is Cui Kai, and Cui Kai is also my student, transferred from Faku. As soon as we met, Cui Kai said, this is good. You write, curator. Let me write it together. I wrote a draft at that time. Later, we went to the Heilongjiang Quyi Theory Seminar. I showed it to him on the way back from the seminar on Quyi theory. Cui Kai said that we must study it and write it further. We studied this method in the car, wrote it in depth, and wrote a second draft for Cui Kai. Cui Kai finally finished the second half of the program well. ...

Who is the most suitable to play Zhang Zhi? Li thought of Zhao Benshan. He recalled the performance, and Zhao Benshan left a deep impression on him. It was the winter of 1980, and the Cultural Bureau of Tieling District held an amateur art performance competition in Weiyuanbao Commune of Kaiyuan County. Li is the director of the jury. On behalf of the propaganda team of Lotus Commune, Zhao Benshan performed the traditional repertoire Bao Gong Duan and La Xi Kick Mom Out. Later, Li went to Xifeng to inspect the cultural station in the countryside, and watched the traditional play "The Blind Look at the Lights" with Hou and Hou. Zhao Benshan plays the blind very well. Zhao Benshan's performance, Li see in the eye like in my heart. Zhao Benshan has good taste in singing, solid basic skills, artistic cells and good performance. From the outside to the inside, he can. In particular, he is unique in depicting characters and using language. What about Zhao Benshan? Can you invite him? Li is eager for Zhao Benshan to play Zhang Zhi. Li asked Wang Dianliang if he knew where Zhao Benshan was performing now. Wang Dianliang replied that Zhao Benshan might go to the countryside to act with Xifeng County Troupe! Li immediately asked the librarian to call Xifeng County Song and Dance Troupe to explain the situation. Hu Haixuan, head of the troupe business, found Zhao Benshan and told him about his secondment. Zhao Benshan was very happy. He hurried back to Lianhua from Xifeng, settled down at home and went to his uncle's house to report good news. The second uncle encouraged him to say, "Good boy, you must work hard to put on a good show." After bidding farewell to relatives in his hometown, Zhao Benshan came to Tieling District Mass Art Museum and found Li. When I met him, I asked, "What do you want with me? Director Li! " "There's a play for you, don't you think?" Li Chong Zhao Benshan said. "Well, I'll try." Zhao Benshan was particularly excited and readily agreed. "You have three days to study, sing this passage down and give me a performance. If you behave well, you will stay. If the performance is not good, leave. " After Li introduced the story to Zhao Benshan, he handed the script of Wrestling Three Strings to Zhao Benshan, pointing to the lyrics of Zhang Zhi's "fortune-telling tune".

Wrestling Three Strings participated in the rehearsal of the province's small play. As soon as Zhao Benshan played the blind Zhang Zhi, the audience started to boil. People laughed and marveled at Zhao Benshan's realistic performance and Zhao Benshan's understanding of life.

At that time, people all knew that there was a Zhao Benshan in Tieling, calling him the first blind man in the world. Wrestling Sanxian changed Zhao Benshan's life experience. Without Wrestling Three Strings, there would be no Zhao Benshan today. Wrestling Three Strings also laid the foundation for the development of short stories in northern Liaoning, but if it weren't for this short play and a comedy genius like Zhao Benshan, short stories in northern Liaoning and even in China probably wouldn't be as prosperous as they are today.
