The Spring Festival that just passed was probably Jiang Kun's most "bad" year.
The cross-talk "Happy Dialect" performed by him not only did not achieve a good "laughing fruit", but also was suspected of plagiarizing other people's works, and this "other" was Jiang Kun's apprentice- Dashan.
A generation of cross-talk masters "plagiarizing" their own apprentices? After the news spread on the Internet, it quickly caused heated discussion among the audience, but Jiang Kun maintained his usual style: he did not respond.
Instead, Dashan, an apprentice who was far away in Canada, deliberately recorded a video in response to the "plagiarism incident" and clarified it for the master.
In the video, Dashan mentioned that "Happy Dialect" is a reserved program of Teacher Jiang Kun, which has been performed more than a decade ago, when it was performed with Dai Zhicheng. Nowadays, it is only on the basis of the original processing and creation, and the "Dashan Kan Dashan" that he once performed has also received careful guidance from teacher Jiang Kun.
For this "plagiarism incident", Dashan's understanding is also very clear, laughing that it is just a hype incident of some people with ulterior motives.
Now that the parties have come forward to clarify, this farce should also come to an end.
But the audience is still a little curious: why did the mountain that was once popular on the Spring Festival Gala stage "disappear" over the years?
"Foreign apprentices" from Canada
In the spring of 1965, in a working-class family in Ottawa, Canada, a young boy, Mark Henry Roswell, fell to the ground.
Since childhood, his parents often "whispered" something in Mark's ear.
"Your grandfather was a doctor who cured many patients in Guide Province, Henan Province, China..."
Because of the age, Mark did not have any impression of his grandfather, but it made Mark interested in the mysterious ancient and famous country on the other side of the ocean.
At the age of 19, Mark was admitted to the University of Toronto. When he first entered college, out of curiosity, Mark took an elective course of "modern Chinese" and a new Chinese name, Chinese teacher named him Lu Shiwei according to the transliteration of Mark's name.
With the deepening of learning, coupled with the stories about his grandfather in his parents' mouths, Mark gradually became full of novelty and interest in everything in China.
After that, Mark also changed modern Chinese from an elective course to a "compulsory course", in-depth study of Chinese language and literature, and his academic performance has always been among the best in the school.
At that time, his biggest dream was to go to China, with two purposes: one was to learn more deeply about Chinese, and the other was to follow in his grandfather's footsteps.
In 1988, the opportunity to go to China finally came. In this year, Mark was given the opportunity to exchange and study between China and Canada, and was sent to Peking University to study Chinese Chinese Andethography.
At that time, Mark probably couldn't imagine that this time, life had been reversed.
In 1989, CCTV's New Year's Day party was about to kick off, and as a "foreign student" of Peking University, Mark, who Chinese spoke very smoothly, was also recommended to the program group by the teacher.
To this end, Mark prepared a sketch called "Night Return".
But it's almost New Year's Day, and Mark is still worried about the name of the male protagonist in the sketch.
At that time, the male protagonist's name was Xu Qiujia, which was not catchy, nor was it easy to say, and the heroine's name Yulan was not easy to "match".
Once, while eating in the cafeteria, I suddenly heard a sentence "Dashan, you are coming!" ”
Mark was empowered, and as soon as he was inspired, the name was there. The male protagonist's name became "Xu Dashan".
What was even more unexpected was that the performance was extremely successful, and the audience was full of curiosity about him as a "foreign student".
Fluent in Mandarin, humorous and funny performances, and rich expressions.
Because the male protagonist he performed was named "Xu Dashan", many viewers also mistakenly believed that he himself was called "Dashan".
Mark felt that the name "Dashan" was also good, and listened to it kindly, and simply changed his original Chinese name "Lu Shiwei" to "Dashan".
The success of the performance of this New Year's Day party also made Dashan fall in love with crosstalk, and after returning to school, the daily essential program is to watch crosstalk and forget to eat.
At that time, Zhao Benshan was not yet famous, and Guo Degang was still struggling at the subsistence line, and he was snubbed when he first came to Beijing. In the cross-talk industry, the most famous are Still Ma Ji, Ma Sanli, etc., as well as the "rising star" Jiang Kun, after hosting the first Spring Festival Gala with Liu Xiaoqing in 1983, became famous, and in the following years, Jiang Kun was on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
After watching jiang kun's performance of multiple cross-talk, a bold idea also began to germinate in Dashan's heart: worship Jiang Kun as a teacher and learn cross-talk.
After finding Jiang Kun's contact information, Dashan called Jiang Kun and explained his desire.
At first, Jiang Kun also had some hesitation. After all, the identity of dashan is somewhat special, although dashan is already famous, it is not an easy thing to learn cross-talk.
At that time, Jiang Kun's master, Mr. Hou Baolin, also gently advised Jiang Kun that accepting apprentices needed to be cautious and cautious.
But in the end, Jiang Kun still could not stand dashan's sincerity, and finally accepted Dashan as an apprentice and held a grand ceremony in Beijing.
Perhaps, there is really such a thing as "God appreciates rice and eats" in this world, the second year after visiting Jiang Kun, Jiang Kun took Dashan together on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again, performing "Famous Teachers and High Apprentices", the applause from the stage was thunderous, and the mountain became a hit.
This year, the mountain double happiness came to the door, not only the career has improved, love has also ushered in a new turning point. Once when I went out to perform, I met Ganlin, a beautiful woman in Charge of reception work, and staged a good story of "hero saving the United States", and also developed feelings with Ganlin.
After three years of falling in love, the two entered the palace of marriage hand in hand in Canada.
With the blessing of Jiang Kun, coupled with his own efforts, Dashan soon broke through in the cross-talk industry, and in the following years, he was frequently active on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and successively performed a number of popular programs such as "A Stamp", "Same Joy and Happiness", and accumulated a lot of good reputation among the audience.
With fame, he was also invited to participate in the TV series "The Story of the Editorial Department", and often performed with Teacher Ding Guangquan.
In 2008, dashan also won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Magnolia Performance Awards for his performance of the drama "Super Fool" and Guo Donglin, making Dashan the first foreign winner to win China's three major theater performing arts awards.
The career is booming, and what makes Dashan even happier is that the story of his grandfather has also made new progress. A reporter contacted Dashan, indicating that he had found the former residence of Dashan's grandfather in Shangqiu, Henan.
Embarking on the road of "searching for roots" and looking at the place where grandpa once lived, Dashan was inexplicably moved, remembering the stories about grandpa that his parents often told, and burst into tears.
But soon after, Oyama did something bizarre: he chose to return to Canada.
For the sake of his children, he gave up his career
After marrying Gan Lin, the couple was very affectionate and understood each other, and his wife has always been very supportive of Dashan's career.
The couple had a son and a daughter, and they made up a "good" word, but the birth of the child also invisibly brought "troubles" to the mountain.
Children are "mixed-race children", which will become the object of everyone's envy today, but in the relatively conservative environment at that time, it was inevitable to attract criticism. In order to give his children an undisturbed environment, Oyama decided to return to Canada with his children.
Although he returned to Canada, Dashan still remembers his moments in China and will still return to China from time to time.
The number of cross-talk is also getting less and less, in the eyes of Dashan, cross-talk comes from life, but now that cross-talk has entered the TV, it has gradually separated from life and become "hanging art", some false, some empty, which may also be the reason why Dashan has reduced performances.
Later, in fact, everyone also knows that a generation of new people in the cross-talk industry replaced the old people, the rise of the Deyun Society, and most of the cross-talk community was almost "occupied" by the disciples of the Deyun Society, and as the older generation of cross-talk masters, Dashan did not have the heat of the time, and "disappeared" in the cross-talk circle, which is also reasonable.
