January 18, 2022 is Guo Degang's birthday.
The disciples of the Deyun Society publicly expressed their blessings one after another. At the same time, there is a message:
Teacher Jiang Kun is about to retire this year, after he retired, who is the president of the China Quyi Association? Many people think that Guo Degang can be competent. But it is unlikely, because of the abandonment of the entanglement of grievances, the Deyun Society still needs Guo Degang to do it himself.
In my opinion, although guo degang can be the president of the Quyi Association, although it can take traditional culture to a higher level, it is indeed very unlikely. As a character who is difficult to say in the famous and upright sect, if you do not talk about external images, Guo Degang is similar to Ren I xing in "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", or Yang Xiao in "The Dragon Slaughter in the Heavens"——
I am such a person, such a crazy man.
Today, if you evaluate Guo Degang and his Deyun Society, the polite statement is that "they occupy half of the cross-talk industry", and the impolite view is that "without Guo Degang, cross-talk may be a historical term".
Looking at Guo Degang from the perspective of outsiders, what makes me "look up" to him is that in a certain program, Teacher He Bing read aloud his family letter to his son Guo Qilin, which has this sentence:
"Child, you have climbed up the hill, but how did you get down?"
Later, Guo Qilin's actions in cross-talk and cross-border performances also show that he followed Lao Guo's family training:
Humble and understated.
Compared with some small fresh meat and traffic, and even some young juniors within the Deyun Society, Guo Qilin is at least in line with the expectations of Chinese for "newcomers" -
Not ostentatious, not speaking wildly, even if it is a "second generation of stars", even the "horns" of the Deyun Society are forced to start "fandom".
This illustrates two things:
First, Lao Guo is a person who has suffered greatly;
Second, Lao Guo is a man who understands.
Only those who have suffered well know how to behave in the world and educate their children.
More than the bright moonlight in front of the bed
At the sealed performance before the Spring Festival in 2021, Guo Degang once laughed at himself: "Last year, I also complained that there were thousands of performances a year, and I wanted to take a holiday. There was a lot of laughter in the audience.
So far since the epidemic, all gathering occasions are inevitably afraid, as far as the restaurants in Harbin, as far as the Deyun Society in Beijing, on the issue of "gathering or not gathering", everyone's worries are the same, and the expression of cross-talk cannot be like film and television dramas, paying attention to a live atmosphere, the atmosphere is not enough, and some baggage and jokes are difficult for the audience to feel empathy. If you are across the screen, it is a great test of the performer's skills.
This is also the reason why Guo Degang quickly became popular that year.
Before him, the significance of cross-talk as a "satirical art" was actually not great, which was embodied in various embarrassments at the Spring Festival Gala, such as the well-known teacher Feng Gong, and only "Dear audience friends, I want to die you" as one of the few memorials.
The most initial reason for Guo Degang's fame lies in his profound qu art performance skills and the "ironic" characteristics that cross-talk itself should have, "dare to say" is the characteristic of Guo Degang's clapping hands in the small theater at that time, saying that he "will repay with his eyes" or "be unreasonable", no one can deny his success, let alone no one can deny that he saved the art of cross-talk. Although this bluntness in his personality allowed him to face countless storms and even twists and turns later, who can deny that these difficulties allowed him to actually select and eliminate some people?
In this process, Guo Degang made the Deyun Society bigger and stronger, and also made many of the right and wrong grievances of that year gradually clear, so that most people began to support and like him.
Even now people often talk about "Yu Qian's father and daughter-in-law", as well as "Tao'er's hairstyle" and "who will succeed deyunshe in the future".
Now there is only Guo Degang
Yesterday was Guo Degang's birthday, and in his years of ups and downs and glory, there were sons and disciples, and there were also enemies, which not only everyone knew in their hearts, but also openly admitted it himself. The most infuriating thing is that he always uses it to "humble himself" when performing:
In the cross-talk industry, in addition to the Deyun Society, there are better. Then the audience continued to say:
No!
Clearly punched a lot of people in the face.
In fact, there really isn't.
When Guo Degang appeared, most of the audience and even those who did not understand cross-talk knew that there was originally a kind of music art called "Taiping Lyrics", and "those who can't taiping lyrics are not saying cross-talk".
Guo Degang has been adhering to this idea since the beginning, and what is more, through the Internet, many people have learned about the classical beauty of traditional Chinese quyi culture. Someone once commented:
"The greatest contribution of the Deyun Society is to pull a group of people who should be mixed with the night scene into the theater to accept the influence of traditional culture." Even in the nightclub, the Deyun girls would dance while listening to "The Legend of the White Snake" and "The Great West Chamber".
It's actually quite remarkable.
Although the direction seems to be a little off, who can deny that many people like Guo Degang's "love-hate" look? After becoming famous, Guo Degang has intimidated Hong Kong and Taiwan stars on various hosting occasions, and has also intimidated traffic stars, but he does not show the mountains and water, so that the people present think that he is humorous, and only a few people can see it:
Guo Degang extremely despises people who have no "kung fu" and love to "pretend".
A literary and artistic worker engaged in cross-talk performances once said in an interview that he extremely hated to have an audience under the stage when he said cross-talk. He felt that it was not "civilized" and not "polite". However, as a kind of urban culture that originated from the bottom of the folk, if there is no response to cross-talk, it can only mean that you are not popular and say too badly.
The interaction between the stage and the stage is obviously one of the essences of the performance of Guo Degang and Deyun Society, in this interaction, the audience has a sense of intimacy with the performers, and the performers are grateful for the recognition of the audience. This is also the reason why the Deyun Society gradually developed and grew in the following days.
He let the audience know:
Those who eat garlic are more approachable than those who "drink coffee", and they are also more particular about "having fun with the people".
This is also a remarkable thing.
Regrets
Here's an interesting thing:
The film and television dramas starring or participating in Guo Degang are basically not well received, but his sons and apprentices are diametrically opposed. In this regard, his own attitude has always been "smile and smile".
In the past two years, due to the impact of the epidemic, the performance of Deyun Society has indeed suffered a lot of blows, and people are more concerned about the problems that have been centered around Guo Degang's heart:
After Guo Degang, who will rule the Deyun Society?
From the day he worshiped Hou Yaowen as his teacher, clear-eyed people knew at a glance that he was not a person who was very selfish about crosstalk and "family business", otherwise he would not have frequently uttered amazing words, nor would he have let crosstalk truly ascend to the hall of elegance.
It is only objectively said that Lao Guo's work cannot be easily learned, and the current disciples, many of whom are well-known and praised, can not get their true transmission.
Only because Guo Degang's voice is "God appreciates rice to eat", singing and playing does not lose to any professional. Because he really likes crosstalk, he also happens to have talent. I have to admit that "talent" is not something that can be practiced hard, and Lao Guo is also very clear about this.
Guo Degang made cross-talk and "cross-talk" one of the popular cultures, and his contribution was indispensable. And how to let crosstalk pass on is not something he can control.
In today's era of entertainment, the future of crosstalk and crosstalk may be a headache for Lao Guo, and it is also something he does not want to become a regret.

"Jian" discussion:
Father Jiangshan can tolerate me and not make evil money in the world.
It was a word he used to say.
Guo Degang, an excellent cross-talk performance artist destined to be recorded in the history of Chinese cultural development, a man who sincerely loves his career who mentions his achievements in this article.
From youthfulness, envy, indignation, and misery to today's grandmaster's temperament, it is obviously superficial to talk about his current scenery and being loved, but few people can really appreciate the embarrassment of how many walks he walked home alone on a certain night of that year, and had to change his mobile phone for a bite to eat.
Speaking of inspiration, Guo Degang's story itself can be made into a film and television drama. Speaking of tradition, there are still a few younger generations after him who can adhere to Master's ideals, which is not yet known.
Only after Guo Degang's birthday, I sent him a sentence:
Old Guo, Tao'er, happy birthday.
