What about Ma Ji's partner, Zhao Yan? Whose apprentice is he?

What about Ma Ji's partner, Zhao Yan? Whose apprentice is he?

If you want to rank the disciples of Master Ma Ji, it must be these four people, whether personally selected by Mr. Ma Ji or the audience familiar to Mr. Ma Ji:

Jiang Kun, Zhao Yan, Liu Wei, Feng Gong.

Of course, Mr. Ma Ji personally likes Wei Liu best, which is the consensus that Mr. Ma Ji himself has not concealed in public, and all his disciples are consistent.

However, if we want to compare the comprehensive ability and status, Wei Liu will still rank behind Jiang Kun and Zhao Yan. Jiang Kun is undoubtedly the MVP of Ma Ji's apprentice, and Zhao Yan can't rank among the top two.

After Mr. Ma Ji died, Zhao Yan, who was also in Jiang Kun, carried the body to the morgue with his family. Being able to see Master off for the last journey with his family is enough to prove Mr. Zhao Yan's position among the disciples of Maji.

Zhao Yan, formerly known as Zhao Dianxie, is full of fire elements in both his stage name and real name, which shows that Mr. Zhao's five elements are short of fire, which is similar to Mr. Zhao Yan's later stage style. He is not hot, nor does he steal the camera, but everything is just right.

Mr Zhao Yan was born in an ordinary worker's family. Although he is not a family of folk artists, his parents are very interested in art, so Zhao Yan's childhood left a deep impression on him and planted the seeds of art in his heart.

Zhao Yan, who had not finished high school, met that special period that could not be mentioned. He left his hometown at a young age and got on the train in Heilongjiang.

This man has literary talent, but he can't stop it. Zhao Yan, who used to drive a tractor honestly in the Construction Corps, was attracted by the propaganda department of the regiment and wanted to transfer him to be a literary soldier. Zhao Yan has some resistance and wants to continue to be tired of tractors. As a result, the director forbade him to waste literary talent and forcibly transferred to the propaganda team.

The first job in the team was Li Yuhe, who played the red lantern. Zhao Yan, not because of anything else, just because he studied drama with his mother when he was a child, and because of his loud voice, he became the leading role as soon as he made his debut. Back in those days, he really lived by his ability and didn't have to sleep with the director or anything.

Because Li Yuhe was so successful, Zhao Yan appeared in several well-known model operas in succession, all of which were important roles of one man and two men. Later, because of an accidental sprained rib, I stayed in the hospital for half a year, so I couldn't continue to perform such a fierce model opera, so Zhao Yan changed to rap, and all the allegro in Tianjin, Allegro in Shandong and pendants in Henan opened their mouths.

By chance, he listened to Mr. Ma Ji's broadcast version of Ode to Friendship, so he taught himself, and the result was very successful. The performance was excellent, so Zhao Yan began to take the road of stand-up crosstalk.

Later, in a performance, Mr. Zhao Yan met Mr. Ma Ji, and they became teachers and students.

Although Mr. Zhao Yan is a crosstalk performer who became a monk halfway, he still cares about some rules in the industry. For example, the long-standing knowledge system in the phonograph industry has actually faded in that period, and most people are apprentices and apprentices. Simply put, we can directly determine the relationship between them. However, Mr Ma Ji was so influential at that time. As his disciple, if he made such a simple alliance, Zhao Yan was a little unsure.

So Zhao Yan, Jiang Kun and other early apprentices told Mr. Ma Ji that they had to have a more formal ceremony. However, Mr. Ma Ji firmly denied that the ceremony of revealing knowledge was the dross that should be abandoned in the old society, so even if all disciples insisted, Mr. Ma Ji just made a ceremony of thanking the teacher and asked each disciple to present him with a bunch of flowers.

There were thirteen disciples present at that time, whose flower names were Zhao Yan, Wei Liu, Feng Gong,,, Peng Ziyi,,, Chang,, and Huang Hong.

At this ceremony, Mr. Zhao Yan was the host.

Of all Mr. Ma Ji's partners, Mr. Zhao Yan is probably the best comedian for the new cross talk. No one can match Mr. Zhao Yan's right in rhythm, size and maturity, or complement Mr. Ma Ji's style, so they have the most cooperation and the highest popularity.

When I was very young, I had two cross talk tapes at home, one was Tang Jiezhong in Jiang Kun, and the other was Zhao Yan in Ma Ji. I've probably listened to Zhao Yan in Maji for more than 100 times, and now it's very delicious to play back, such as hundred blowing pictures, trade terms, drama gossip, new geographical maps, and the function of crying.

The new Tongue Twister co-produced by them and Tongue Twister published by Ma give people a feeling of watching a series. It can be seen that although Zhao Yan is a completely new cross talk, he also has considerable research on traditional performance techniques.

It is precisely because of the tacit cooperation with teachers that after the death of Ma Ji, Mr. Zhao Yan was very depressed and lost confidence in the stage, but his colleagues encouraged him and hoped that he could bring some new people like Mr. Ma Ji. So Zhao Yan cheered up and partnered with Zhou Wei and Fu Qiang successively, which also provided many valuable stage experiences for the two young actors.

Now, Teacher Zhao Yan has faded out of the crosstalk stage, shifted her focus to behind-the-scenes work, and occasionally participated in some CCTV programs as a judge. For Mr. Zhao Yan, the second half of his life is to support more young actors through mentoring.
