“作为一名相声演员,无论在舞台上,还是在生活中,我时刻严格要求自己,以积极向上的言行展示一名文艺工作者的良好风尚。”这是北京市文联副主席、北京曲艺家协会主席、著名相声表演艺术家李金斗的一段内心表白。
“As a crosstalk comedian, I keep behaving myself both on the stage and in daily life to present the morality of a performer with positive attitude”, said Li Jindou, the Vice Chairman of Beijing Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Beijing Ballad Singers Association and one of China’s most famous crosstalk performers.
从13岁踏入北京曲艺团的大门,李金斗就跟随师父赵振铎学习相声表演。他积极吸取各相声名家的表演艺术特长,集北京的清雅、天津的火爆、东北的粗犷于一身,从而形成自己独特的艺术风格。与陈涌泉合作表演的《武松打虎》 《新夜行记》等一大批优秀相声作品,深受观众欢迎。
Li Jindou joined Beijing Ballad Troupe at the age of 13 and learnt crosstalk performance from his teacher Zhao Zhenduo since then. He worked hard to absorb the strong points of many crosstalk masters and successfully integrated the different performance styles such as the elegance in Beijing, the enthusiasm in Tianjin, and the toughness in northeast China. In the end, he has established his own unique style. A number of his outstanding crosstalk performances such as “Mo Chung Fights the Tiger” and “Travelling at Night” are favored by the audience.
多年演出实践中,李金斗深深体会到,演员不能离开基层群众,艺术的营养要从基层生活中汲取。他常说:“有台下观众的捧场,才有台上演员的成就,这种面对面的演出特别容易让我的心和观众融在一起。”2003年,在李金斗的倡导下,北京周末相声俱乐部成立,这不仅让一度处于低谷的相声艺术有了新的生机,他提出的“20块钱永不涨价”也让更多市民走进剧场,拉近了相声与老百姓的距离。经过9年的历练,北京周末相声俱乐部已经成为全国相声演员向往的舞台,被誉为相声界的“清华大学” 。
After years of practice, Li Jindou deeply understood that art performers could not live without common people as they need to draw inspiration from the grassroots. He often said that, “It is the audience’s support that makes the performers’ accomplishments. The face-to-face performance could easily connect my heart with the audience’s”. In 2003, Li Jindou proposed establishing the Beijing Weekend Crosstalk Club, which brought new vitality to the struggling crosstalk art. He also proposed the ticket should be always priced at 20 yuan, in order to attract more citizens into the theatre and make crosstalk closer to the general public. After 9 years of development, the club has become a stage aspired by the crosstalk comedians all over the country and is acclaimed as the “Tsinghua University” in the crosstalk circle.
为了传承相声艺术,李金斗除了教徒弟学习相声表演,还教他们如何做人、做事。多年来,李金斗积极参加中国广播艺术团、中国曲协、北京市文联、北京曲协等单位组织的惠民演出,受到老百姓的热烈欢迎。他用自己的行动感动着身边的观众,也影响着青年演员的人生观、价值观。
To carry on the art of crosstalk, Li Jindou taught his students how to behave themselves besides educating them how to perform crosstalk. For years, Li actively performed for common people in the activities organized by China Broadcasting Performing-Arts Troupe, China Association of Ballad Singers, Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Beijing Ballad Singers Association. He set an example with his own actions, which not only touched the audience but also influenced the young performers to establish the right view of life and value.
