Ten days have passed since the 2022 Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Tiger, but the controversy about it is still there.
In particular, Jiang Kun and Dai Zhicheng's performance of the cross-talk "Happy Dialect" made Jiang Kun also pushed to the cusp of the storm and fell into a huge plagiarism controversy. Jiang Kun, who is 72 years old, has been on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala 22 times, and now this time he was only notified to participate in the Spring Festival Gala after New Year's Day, and finally he wanted to perform such a traditional program by name, but he did not expect to let Jiang Kun encounter controversy, on the one hand, accusing him of being conservative and lacking innovation, on the other hand, accusing him of copying the program of his apprentice Dashan.
Netizens found Dashan's stand-up comedy "Dashan Kan Dashan: Beijingers Can't Speak Cantonese" performed by Dashan on the 2019 Toronto Overseas Spring Festival Evening, and after a comparison, they began to question Jiang Kun's plagiarism of his apprentice Dashan.
It is no stranger to the people of Dashan, as a foreigner, but he is keen on Chinese language and literature and traditional Chinese culture. The earliest was the New Year's Day party that appeared on CCTV, and was well known to the public for performing the sketch "Night Return", and it just happened to play the role of a foreign student "Dashan" in the sketch, so it was renamed Dashan. Later, he studied cross-talk with Jiang Kun as a teacher. In 1998, he first appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and performed the sketch "A Stamp" with Pan Changjiang and Heimei.
For more than 30 years, Dashan has been committed to the study and promotion of traditional Chinese culture, and has even founded its own stand-up comedy program, which includes Cantonese-speaking performances.
For Master Jiang Kun's Spring Festival Gala program "Happy Dialect", Dashan is constantly praised, but seeing the plagiarism controversy on the Internet, it has long been impossible to hold back, and now finally came forward to respond to this matter.
First of all, he said, "The apprentice performs the program, especially like the master, and you don't want to think about it, how did this come about?" ”
In fact, it is to show that these are all taught by the master first, and this is the so-called artistic inheritance, not the so-called plagiarism, and it does not exist. In the cross-talk circle, everyone knows that this program is Master's reserved program, not plagiarism, so plagiarism is nonsense.
Of course, this show also has a history of more than 20 years, and now it has been continuously adapted, and it has also integrated many new things, but it is precisely through the test of time that it can once again appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Dashan also further explained that the earliest program dates back to 1987, which was a program performed by Teacher Jiang Kun and Tang Jiezhong, and at that time, there were already passages such as "perfume and perfume plus aroma" and "Director Zhang often wants to see Chang Factory Director". It's just that the earliest version is Jiang Kun asking questions, Tang Jiezhong speaks Cantonese, because the previous generation of cross-talk actors, Tang Jiezhong is the best cantonese speaker, and later after Tang Jiezhong retired, Jiang Kun and Dai Zhicheng partner became, Dai Zhicheng asked questions, Jiang Kun said.
In 2018, when Dashan and Master Jiang Kun and Dai Zhicheng went abroad to perform, they performed this show again, and the effect was very good, and Dashan's own Dashan Kan Dashan originally had the material to learn Cantonese, but it was not mature enough, so he wanted to perform Jiang Kun's very mature program, changed the intercom to stand-up, for his own sake, Master Jiang Kun immediately agreed, and taught him the program sentence by sentence without reservation.
Finally, on the overseas Spring Evening of 2019, I performed this revised program, I didn't expect the fire, for the fire of this show, Jiang Kun once said: This is called inheritance, and this is how cross-talk is inherited and developed, and there is no complaint.
Dashan bluntly said that the real-life teacher Jiang Kun and the kind of personality given to him by years of network hype are completely different, supporting Master Jiang Kun, and even revealed that he once wanted to go to the Spring Festival Gala, got the support of Master, and was willing to help himself line up a row of programs, although in the end regrettably failed, but you can see the depth of the master-apprentice friendship, which is also proof that Jiang Kun is not uploaded on the Internet.
And now master Jiang Kun once again on the Spring Festival Gala, Dashan revealed that after the New Year's Day, the Spring Festival Gala crew only got in touch with the master, and designated this program, did not expect that five years ago, the master ended the Spring Festival Gala trip with "New Tiger Mouth Reverie", but five years later was invited to the Spring Festival Gala, and has been 72 years old, but also let the public very worried, of course, also let the mountain nervous, of course, the final is a sigh of relief, dashan directly called Jiang is still old spicy.
From the perspective of ratings, "Happy Dialect" ranked eleventh among individual programs and fifth in language programs. So the show is still quite popular.
For the comments and scoldings on the Internet, Dashan said: This is originally to watch the program with emotions, not a joyful emotion, coupled with the lack of understanding of the traditions and rules of the cross-talk industry will cause misunderstanding and controversy, and eventually bring unnecessary trouble to Teacher Jiang Kun.
The plagiarism incident of Jiang Kun's Spring Festival Gala also came to a temporary end with the clarification of the apprentice Dashan, of course, for such an old artist, it is impossible to have problems on such an important stage, or everyone can say that the program is old-fashioned, but plagiarism is a crime to add.
