We hope to find inspiration in the cultural differences between China and foreign countries, and attract more foreign friends to learn Chinese and love Chinese culture." Recently, cross talk actor Yan Jiabao is accepting A reporter from Xinshe said in an interview.

　　On February 26th, Beijing time, the 2021 Global Overseas Chinese and Chinese New Year Cloud Gala will meet with overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese. One of the programs is the cross talk "Foreigners Watch China" in collaboration with Yan Jiabao, a Ukrainian boy and a Chinese-Russian girl Tina. ".

　　Ye Guo still remembers when talking about his relationship with cross talk.

"In 2010, on behalf of Ukraine, I went to China to participate in the'Chinese Bridge' contest. At the opening ceremony, I saw the performance of the famous cross talk artist Ding Guangquan and his apprentice. That was the first time I felt the charm of cross talk. After the competition, I I found Teacher Ding and expressed the hope to become his apprentice, and then I started learning cross talk."

　　When Tina said cross talk, it was Yan Jiabao who "brought in".

At the end of 2014, Yan Jiabao met Tina by chance when she was recording a show on Beijing TV. During the chat, she felt that this beautiful mixed-race girl had a sense of humor and the potential for cross talk, so she invited her to listen to her own cross talk talk. Tina also started from this. Learn cross talk.

Later, they met Yeguo when they participated in the Silk Road Spring Festival Gala, and the three began to cooperate.

　　The inspiration for creation comes from life, but also from the actors themselves.

The three of them are people who love to chat and joke, and a lot of "baggage" comes from their daily communication.

"Once, we accidentally discovered that there is no translation of'tofu' in a foreign language, so it is difficult to explain'what is tofu' to foreign friends, but it is also very interesting. This burden is very life-like." Yeguo said, "Okay. Art comes from life and is higher than life."

　　In addition to finding the "smile fruit" in different languages, the three also found inspiration for creation in their respective living habits and unique personalities.

　　In Yan Jiabao's view, because of the collision of Chinese and foreign cultures, their works have unique advantages.

In "Foreigners Watching China", he talked about the cold winter in China. Tina said that Russians are not afraid of cold: "As the saying goes, cold makes people young. My grandfather is 78 years old this year, and he is as cold as his grandson when he goes out."

This burden was "shaken out" by Tina, which just made use of the charm of cultural differences, which was reasonable and unexpected.

　　In recent years, the three have also been committed to promoting cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries through their works.

"My love is Chinese, and many of my relatives and friends are Chinese. Many materials come from life. I will write them down and use them in cross talk." Yeguo said, "Many things in Chinese culture seem simple In fact, there are very deep connotations, and everyone can find what they like."

　　"With the continuous development of the times, the audience's requirements for works and foreign actors are getting higher and higher. It is no longer enough to speak a few words in Chinese." Yan Jiabao said that in the future, he will continue to work hard to satisfy the audience's needs through multi-faceted display of works. Different aesthetics attract more foreign friends to learn and experience Chinese culture.
