1934, Ma Ji was born into a businessman's family in Beijing, and his family was ordinary. Life in Maji is not easy. When he was still in primary school, Ma Ji sold ice cores to supplement his family. Because he Chang's relatives are classmates, young Ma Ji often goes to the teahouse opened by Lao Chang's family with an ice core basket, and listens to free cross talk. He is so happy that he can fall off his chair.

At the age of 13, her studies finally became unsustainable, and Ma Ji was sent to Shanghai Hongde Weaving Factory as an apprentice. Get up early every day to empty the toilet, wait on the master and do the lowest work. Three years. After liberation, the weaving factory was dissolved and Ma Ji returned to Beijing. 1953, Ma Ji was admitted to Xinhua Bookstore North China Publishing House with a good cultural foundation and became a member of the working class. Like all people who were born in the old society and grew up under the red flag, Ma Ji is full of new joy.

When he was an apprentice in Shanghai, Ma Ji always listened to cross talk on the radio, continuing the fun of childhood from learning dialects. 1955, Ma Ji participated in the Workers' Amateur Art Troupe taught by Liu Baorui and Guo Quanbao.

Older folk art lovers still remember the national performance of 1956. That year's performance was quite sensational, and several Quyi talents were produced, among which Ma Ji was the most eye-catching. After the performance, these people were ransacked by various literary and art groups.

The Coal Mine Art Troupe won the first prize in the battle for Ma Ji, but it was finally won over by the China Radio and Rap Troupe, which gathered experts. At first, although Ma Ji liked crosstalk, he didn't want to be a professional crosstalk performer. He wants to make a movie. The group sent an old artist to talk with him. Liu Baorui said to him, "Boy, you said that cross talk has a future, but acting in movies has no future." The leader of the regiment told him clearly: "Why did you come? I want you to develop new cross talk, not rely on you to talk about traditional cross talk. " Zhao Lianjia, an old colleague of Ma Ji, told reporters: "In the 1950s, people believed in listening to the Party and following it. Ma Ji, party member, advanced worker of Xinhua Bookstore. The party gave him the task of developing cross talk, and he decided that this was his life. " In addition, in the history of China Radio and Rap Troupe, serving radio and television is a very iron principle. "We should first consider what meets the needs of broadcasting and then consider what meets the needs of television." In his view, it is natural for Ma Ji to take the lead in popularizing crosstalk on TV in the future.

Although later generations had quite different views on the so-called "ideological realm" of people in the 1950s, Ma Ji's works benefited from a relatively high "ideological starting point" because of its large pattern and broad vision. Zhang Letian, a crosstalk critic, told this magazine: "Ma Ji's best works are all about a phenomenon, a face, instead of the most common one in traditional crosstalk, a man and a woman standing there laughing at themselves or each other. For example, his masterpiece "Multi-storey Hotel" satirizes the official seal travel and shows the group image of a bureaucrat, so exaggerated and realistic, and the plot is so cute. "

Ma Ji joined the rap group at the age of 22, that is, served as the secretary of the Youth League branch, demanding political progress. At that time, the unit conducted a current affairs assessment every two or three months, and it was the first in Ma Ji every time. For decades, Ma Ji stayed in bed after reading the reference news every day. In 1980s, there was a popular joke in Maji called "New Geographic Map", in which many world place names were strung together, such as "London" and "Paris" on the table. He wrote the cross talk in one night, but he has accumulated decades of relevant knowledge. Ma Ji often points his creative theme to the latest social trends, and many of his cross talks have also left a distinct brand of the times.

Ma Ji initiated Acura Crosstalk, which some people think is an artistic compromise. Ma Ji's apprentice Kobayashi told reporters that no matter what others say, Ma Ji has made it clear in private that he has "no regrets for life" for eulogizing crosstalk.

"Ma Ji has a unique understanding of humor, and writing praises makes people laugh, which shows his skill." Crosstalk critic Zhang Letian said, "His singing style is full of rhythm. You listened to the live recording at that time, and even the audience's music was rhythmic. Just like "Little Guerrilla Hero", where should we get down to business, where should we entertain and where should we insert a song? The arrangement is dense and ingenious. With an ordinary voice, he almost tapped the full potential of language.

"As an artist trained in New China, he doesn't have any jumble of folk art circles or Jianghu habits. This feature is more prominent in the cross talk circle. But he respects tradition very much. " The purpose of Ma Ji's study of tradition is clear, that is, to return to the original, to bring forth the new and to develop new cross talk.

"It's not that he can't do traditional cross talk, but that ordinary listeners can't hear the traces. Ma Ji's debut was once called Little Hou Linbao, which is by no means a hollow reputation. In his new cross talk, the roots of traditional cross talk will shock experts. "

Ma Ji has a sports theme joke "3:0", which borrows the traditional "counting treasures"; "five senses strive for success" has the shadow of traditional cross talk "six animals flourish"; Before the "new geographical map", there was an old geographical map in the tradition, which was a thorough work. The new has nothing to do with the old, but it is unexpected to borrow the old to create this new one. In Haiyan, the "basket after basket" sung by the fisherman girl actually evolved from the traditional "dirty work", and the obvious "dirty work" was refined into dross by Master Hou.

"When I was young, Ma Ji played basketball in addition to crosstalk. He has no other hobbies and is not in love. Every day after dinner, he goes to Xidan Entertainment Club to listen to cross talk. He often goes to Tianjin to listen, and old artists like him very much. We were very affectionate as soon as we met. "Ma Ji is coming!" Then you want to hear what you want to play for him. He grabbed something (material) outside and showed it to Hou and other teachers when he came back. The teacher gave him inferences and polished it again. "Zhao Lianjia recalled.

Ma Zenghui said: "At that time, young actors lived in dormitories, both upstairs and downstairs. Ma Ji came out with a washbasin to pour water, humming the crosstalk he had learned, and Dan Xian sang. I have never seen such a hard-working man as him. I often sit there and write how old I am, and my cervical spine and waist are about to collapse. "

Zhao Lianjia recalled that Ma Ji joined the rap group on 1956. Two or three months later, he became famous all over the country with his works such as Wang Jinlong, Zhu Yingtai and Call. By 1958, Ma Ji had become famous, and at the same time, his works were "wow". 1960, when Hou was away, Ma Ji was ready for the finale.

"Now it sounds ridiculous. At that time, I felt cornered! "

Before 1957, Ma Ji's name was Ma Shuhuai, but now his name was changed after joining the League. As we all know, Ma Ji is Hou's apprentice. In fact, it was the post-war, post-war and post-war Guo Qiru who fought for Ma Ji. Finally, the Art Committee of the Rap Troupe discussed and decided that all four were Ma Ji's teachers, and Hou was the responsible teacher.

After once said a word to the effect that "everyone else is wood, only Ma Ji is jade". The duke really loved Ma Ji, and Ma Ji also addressed him as a master, but they always kept their distance in life.

After the Cultural Revolution, Ma Ji became a figure in China's cross talk. On the Spring Festival Evening of 1983, Hou, who had faded out of the stage at that time, appeared, pointed to Ma Ji and said, "Everyone is familiar with it. This is my apprentice Ma Ji. " Then he pointed to Jiang Kun and said, "This is my apprentice's apprentice Jiang Kun." This move is widely regarded as a sign of the thawing of relations between Houma and Malaysia.

Jiang Kun was a propagandist of Mao Zedong Thought Propaganda Team of Heilongjiang Production and Construction Corps. After the discovery of Jiang Kun, Ma Ji and Tang Jiezhong performed more than 65,438+000 condolence performances in the weather of minus 40 degrees. Subsequently, Hou, Hou and Hou were invited to hold a training course for the group for more than 40 days. Jiang Kun later became a big disciple of Ma Ji.

Of course, Acura Crosstalk was initiated by Ma Ji, but his style was not shaped by it. In fact, satirical cross talk has an absolute advantage in Ma Ji's creation, both in quantity and importance.

The cross talk when the Gang of Four was just smashed is the most brilliant period of the new cross talk so far, and Ma Ji is one of them. His White in the Sky and Storm on the Stage are full of flesh and blood and a lot of jokes.

However, while everyone is still immersed in the creation of "injured cross talk", Ma Ji has already begun to transform. He wrote The Best in Beijing and The Multi-storey Hotel, which extended the satirical tentacles into the system with extreme sensitivity. Among them, "The Best in Beijing" was quickly banned because of its sharp libel.

In terms of irony, it is unknown what depth Ma Ji tried to reach, but the fact is that in his cross talk creation in the late 1980s, he has greatly restrained his concern about the disadvantages of the times, turned his eyes to the perspective of human nature, and wrote works that exposed the dark side of human nature, such as Red Eye and Hundred Strikes.

Kobayashi thinks this part of his work is his pinnacle. "Later, the master found that satire was not enough, so he turned to gamification of cross talk." Kobayashi said that after the irony of human nature, Ma Ji played word games and wrote jokes such as "Four Words Song" and "New Geographical Map".

In 1980s, Ma Ji put crosstalk on the stage of a party marked by the Spring Festival Evening, which was a major event in the fate of crosstalk. 1963 "Spring Festival Gala"-Ma Ji, an important actor of "Laughing Late", was appointed as the general planner of the first Spring Festival Gala after the Cultural Revolution. "Now look carefully, the overall structure of 1983 and 1984 is a big cross talk." Dapeng, the host of the legendary swordsman, praised the overall structure of previous Spring Festival Galas planned by Ma Ji.

The rapid popularization of 1982 TV has prompted sensitive Ma Ji to start thinking about the transformation of cross talk from auditory art to visual art. He was the first to suggest that it is best to imitate the "sketches" in the performance examination and add some body and role-playing parts to cross talk. That year, Ma Ji organized a team, together with Zhao Yan and Yao Shusen, plunged into the reservoir in Huairou County, Beijing, and tried to make 13 sketches, wax carved into books, and integrated them into the earliest sketch book in China, named "Laughing Window". Later, half of the 13 sketch was preserved. One of them was Cosmic Cigarettes, which became a hit in the Spring Festival Evening of 1983.

"The earliest sketches, structure, language, and baggage are all from cross talk. It can only be said that Ma Ji feels too leading. " Zhao Lianjia said. Some of Ma Ji's later highly respected works were also killed, and gradually Ma Ji no longer had anything to do with the Spring Festival Gala. Jiang Kun said that Ma Ji was "living in a crevice", and Kobayashi also said, "My master, if you let him live forever, alas ..."

After years of fighting on TV screen, the sketch and crosstalk finally stole the limelight of crosstalk. Ma Ji, who has been acting as a prophet, has only a vague premonition at this time. He said, "Perhaps, sketch is the future of cross talk." But Ma Ji never regretted bringing crosstalk to TV. Crosstalk can stand out from more than 200 kinds of folk art, and TV has helped a lot.

A serious illness in Ma Ji from 65438 to 0987 not only laid the groundwork for the final story, but also became a watershed for Ma Ji's career slowdown. That year, Ma Ji suffered a massive heart thrombosis in Changsha and was hospitalized for three months, during which he was reported to be critically ill three times. Liu Wei, the third disciple, has been with him.

Ma Ji discovered Liu Wei and Feng Gong at 1975. At that time, he heard that two middle school students in Tianjin said cross talk was good, so he went to listen to it. When we met for the first time, after listening to the cross talk, Ma Ji was very modest and startled Liu Wei. He said, "I hope we can be friends and come to our group on Sunday." From 65438 to 0989, Wei Liu returned to China after a short overseas life. At that time, Feng Gong had found a new partner, Niu Niu, and Wei Liu was very depressed. Ma Ji was very anxious and said, "We will rescue Liu Wei like a giant panda." He tried his best to get him to attend the Spring Festival Gala and persuaded his partner Zhao Yan to give Wei Liu a hand.

Until 2000, Ma Ji also participated in performances intermittently, but since 199 1, Ma Ji has been in a de facto silent state. He writes calligraphy, fishes and drives a car. When he was young, he had no other hobbies except playing ball, and he began to wander in these elegant tastes. But as long as his physical conditions permit, he will still go to Shandong Jiaodong and Hunan Taoyuan, two bases where he experienced life when he was young, where there are many old friends.

In September 2006, the Peony Award, the highest award of China Quyi, was awarded to Ma Ji. Ma Ji said in his speech: "I am ashamed to get this award. There are five or six generations of crosstalk performers in front of me, who have devoted their lives to the art of crosstalk. This award should belong to them. " Speaking of which, Ma Ji burst into tears, and many people present were moved to tears.

"I have been listening to Ma Ji for several years." Zhao Lianjia said, of course, Ma Ji didn't ask people to study himself, but pointed out that crosstalk didn't have good works because the actors didn't go deep into life! I watched a Quyi performance this year. At the symposium the next day, Ma Ji pointed out in his speech that "the crosstalk performance was very poor." He also said: "Everyone says that I am Ma Jiajun, and I am not a good teacher."

During his seclusion in the second half of 1990s, Ma Ji avoided the media and rarely expressed his opinions in public. But in private, he was outspoken about crosstalk and his disciples. He once said to his disciples, "What you make up while sitting at home is not good. You really have no place to experience life. Just move a small Mazar and sit on the side of the road for half a day. Don't be afraid of being recognized and wear sunglasses. " That's true, but in fact, none of the disciples really sat on the roadside.

Ma Ji accepted 20 apprentices. The first few, such as Jiang Kun and Feng Gong, became famous long ago, but none of them kept talking cross talk. Jiang Kun made a website, Feng Gong made a movie, and Kobayashi hosted an agricultural program. Ma Ji is not opposed to these. He regarded these as the "experience life" of cross talk. He always said to his disciples, "With these lives, I will switch to cross talk in the future ..."

In fact, Ma Ji once dabbled in commercial activities and served as a consultant of an enterprise. He didn't refuse Shang Yan. In the 1990s, an old friend invited him to perform in other places, but he couldn't make it due to physical reasons.

Although he didn't find other reasons against his disciples, Ma Ji was well aware of the brain drain of crosstalk talents. At last year's meeting of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Ma Ji sharply criticized the rap group for losing all the good traditions of attaching importance to personnel training.

Before his death, Ma Ji always wanted to run a crosstalk school to change the traditional teaching mode of oral instruction. Ma Ji often said to his disciples, "To be a man, we should abandon some old things and be literate. Don't let the outside world laugh at our lack of culture. " Two students from Tsinghua University were selected in this year's Crosstalk Contest. Ma Ji was very happy. He announced that he would teach them himself and prepared a lesson plan.

At the beginning of his fame, Degang Guo was suppressed by the so-called "mainstream" of phonology, and some people doubted whether there were any disciples of Ma Ji. During the interview, more than one Ma Ji disciple criticized the vulgarization tendency of some "young actors" to reporters without naming them. What was Ma Ji's attitude towards Degang Guo when he was alive? Deyun's reply to the reporter is: "Very supportive. Someone once found Mr. Ma and wanted him to do something bad for Deyun Society, but Mr. Ma didn't do it. It is said that Mr. Ma's basic attitude towards this is that it is not easy for us to create a person in the music industry. Now our' Deyun Society' is inscribed by Mr. Ma. "

Ma Ji is a nostalgic person. For many years, he has kept in touch with 13-year-old schoolmates who took care of him when he was an apprentice in Shanghai. Every time Ma Ji goes to Shanghai, he will host a banquet for his brother, sister-in-law and their relatives. This time, the 80-year-old exemptions insisted on coming to Beijing to offer condolences, which was dissuaded by Ma Ji's family.

Ma Ji made a frank review of creation and people. On his 70th birthday the year before last, Ma Ji once said in front of the guests present: "There are many things that are not things in Ma Ji. Please forgive me. "

In any case, Ma Ji was innovative all his life, and his creation flourished for more than 30 years. His creative imprint completely coincides with the footprints that New China has traveled since its birth. He wrote more than 300 prime ministers' voices, one tenth of which have stood the test of time and become the memory of China people from generation to generation.

"Think of yourself as an artist of the people and think that what you do serves a grand goal. Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why Ma Ji's generation can't surpass it. Without this goal, there would be no such strong fighting spirit. " Zhang Letian said, "Apprentices in Ma Ji are different. They can be said to be a very sensitive group in the transitional period. When the grand narrative no longer exists and everyone must consider their own whereabouts, their loss is inevitable. Ma Ji's generation has no distractions. They decided that one thing was worth fighting for with their whole life's energy and reputation. The times have no chance to cultivate such people. "
