When Su Wenmao returned to the stage in the late seventies, he found comrade Ma Zhicun to be his comic relief. They **** with the search, toward the "true goodness and beauty" of the art of the beacon. In the past few years, they have experienced the realm of "looking at the end of the road" and "emaciated for the sake of Yi".
Ma Zhicun can work with Su Wenmao, he felt that it is a good opportunity to refine the art, there is time to work together in the consultation and refinement, on the stage after the really tight and seamless, so that the comedian and the audience feel comfortable. Their cooperation at the beginning of some well-intentioned people reminded both sides should pay attention to some things other than art, they laughed it off, confident that the art of cooperation in good faith, mutual assistance and mutual encouragement, the liver and gall blazes together, in order to be a hundred feet pole, and further. Sometimes because of the fine reasons for the dispute, calm down or to *** with the cause of the important, they are keen to feel: only know themselves and know each other, in order to cooperate with the tacit understanding, why artificially create contradictions it?
In 1981, they participated in the "commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the sacrifice of the martyrs of the Chang, Cheng two commemorative performances" to "playing lantern riddles" reproduces and develops the essence of the Chang's comedy, Su Wenmao said with emotion: "I learned from my teacher to practice the basic skills of the show is to say the lantern riddles! I learned from my teacher and practiced the basic skills of storytelling with the program "Playing Lantern Riddles", and Zhicun also learned this part from Mr. Zhao. Playing Lantern Riddles" is the masterpiece of both of them, and should be inherited and carried forward, but this part of ours is different from the two teachers." Yes, the art of creativity, in terms of the organization of traditional programs, it is called "once disassembled and washed once new" which! Even if the ensemble performs a small section of "Shunyi Speak Well", "Learning a Foreign Language", "Fiddling with the Zither", etc., they are also good at capturing the image from life, making it full of new ideas. Such as in the small section of the "Fiddle" in the focus on rendering the environmental atmosphere, portraying the psychological subtlety of the characters unique, y loved, has been included in the comic art film: "Laughing".
Modern program "scrap turnaround" (Wang Yunping), "noble woman", "after the arrival of the new director" (both why late) after they organize the staging, and then to the steady rigorous, elegant and moderate aspects of a step forward. It seems that Su and Ma's performances have reached maturity, and the audience was y impressed by "Su's big secretary" in "After the Arrival of the New Director". Ma Zhicun's line "I think you lack a little bit in virtue". But it was a profound satire. This program was awarded the National Opera Festival (northern piece) excellent program award in 1982 with the Ministry of Culture organized a tour to North China, Northwest, Southwest, etc. In 1984, they won the "National Comedy Competition" performance first prize with Comrade Wang Minglu's new work "Dad, son".
