　　In March 1999, 14-year-old Yue Yunpeng braved heavy snow and embarked on a long-distance bus from Puyang, Henan Province, to Beijing.

　　When he got on the bus, he secretly swore: "This time when I go to Beijing to work, I must fight for my anger and earn money as soon as possible to honor my parents." ”

　　On the way to Beijing, there was a song on the car, "Pink Memories". "From the day I played, when I heard this song, my heart was uncomfortable, incomparably uncomfortable, and the scene and mood at that time would come to my mind at once."

　　This year, Guo Degang, together with Li Jing and Zhang Wenshun, founded the "Beijing Crosstalk Conference", "Let Xiangsheng return to the theater and make real crosstalk." ”

　　Unexpectedly, the operation was dismal, and finally even the rent could not be paid, and Guo Degang stomped his feet in sorrow. But at this time, the wife filed for divorce. Guo Degang sighed and signed the divorce agreement.

　　Later, when Guo Degang recalled these days, he said: "The sound of sighs, the steps of blood and tears." ”

　　In 1999, just after the Lantern Festival, Wang Baoqiang said a word to his mother: "Mom, I want to go out to earn money, I will not get married in the future, marriage is too expensive, it will cost thousands, and I have to build a house." ”

　　Three days later, at the age of 15, he boarded a train to Beijing, "I'm going to go to Beijing and make movies." ”

　　At the beginning of 1999, Ma Yun failed to start a business for the third time, and at this time, he was 35 years old.

　　Before leaving Beijing and returning to Hangzhou, Ma Yun took his team to the Great Wall. It is said to be a play, but everyone's mood is very heavy. One of them suddenly burst into tears and shouted at the Great Wall, "Why! Why! ”

　　The night he left Beijing, Ma Yun invited everyone to a meal, and it was snowing heavily that day, and everyone was crying with a headache while singing "True Heart Hero".

　　Yue Yunpeng was born on April 15, 1985 in the countryside of Puyang, Henan Province, the sixth oldest in the family, with five older sisters, and the Yue family is the poorest in the village.

　　In the winter of 1998, Yue Yunpeng, who was in the first year of junior high school, was named by the teacher: "When will the 68 yuan tuition be paid?" ”

　　The family had no money, and Yue Yunpeng was in a state of disarray, and as a result, he was ridiculed by his classmates. Yue Yunpeng felt too humiliated and dropped out of school in a huff.

　　Born in 1973, Guo Degang is a native of Tianjin and his father is a policeman.

　　Guo's father was too busy at work to take care of Guo Degang, so he often threw him in a small theater. In the small theater, there are opera singers, cross-talkers, and commentators, so when they come and go, Guo Degang fell in love with cross-talk.

　　Guo Degang is indeed very talented, learning what is like what, when he was a teenager, cross-talk was like a model, so he was recruited into the Tianjin Hongqiao Cultural Center.

　　Wang Baoqiang was born on May 29, 1984 in rural Xingtai, Hebei Province. When he was 8 years old, after Wang Baoqiang watched "Shaolin Temple", he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, and the next day, he said to his father, "I'm going to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts." ”

　　Dad asked, "Why did you learn this?" ”

　　Wang Baoqiang replied: "I will also make martial arts movies in the future." ”

　　Dad's hand was a slap in the face. But Wang Baoqiang is not willing, every day pestering his parents to learn kung fu, after a long time, his parents know that he is admitting the truth: "Then you go." ”

　　Born in Hangzhou in 1964, Ma Yun grew up with very average grades, and even took the junior high school exam twice.

　　In 1982, he took the first college entrance examination, and the results were so messy that he did not even pass three books. Ma Yun, who fell behind, pedaled three rounds, "I plan to live this life like this." ”

　　But one day, when he was pedaling three wheels, he picked up a book, Lu Yao's "Life". The book made Ma Yun's blood boil: "I want to go to college." ”

　　In 1983, he took the second college entrance examination, and the result was still not even three.

　　In 1984, he took the third college entrance examination, and this time, he was admitted to Hangzhou Normal University.

　　In March 1999, after Yue Yunpeng came to Beijing, he worked as a security guard in a motor factory.

　　When the security guard wants to go to the night shift, the night shift is not able to sleep, and 40 yuan will be deducted for sleeping. As a result, in the first month, Yue Yunpeng not only did not get a salary of 300 yuan, but also owed the factory 20 yuan.

　　He cried all night on his nose. The next month, in order to prevent being deducted, Yue Yunpeng bought the first pack of cigarettes in his life, "not to smoke, but to remind." When you are sleepy, light a cigarette and clip it on your hand, and when the smoke burns to your hand, you will wake up when it hurts. ”

　　In 1988, 15-year-old Guo Degang came to Beijing. He had a very pure purpose, "to enter the system and become a professional cross-talk actor." ”

　　He applied for a literary troupe in Beijing, and with his solid cross-talk skills, he was admitted to the newly established rap troupe of the literary troupe. Although he was admitted, his identity was completely different from what he had imagined, "he was a temporary worker, mainly responsible for inspection." ”

　　What is a "checkpoint"? To put it bluntly, it is to do chores, serving tea, pouring water, and moving tables. "Let's do the miscellaneous work, I will do it first, maybe I will have the opportunity to take the stage and say crosstalk."

　　Unexpectedly, after more than a year of work, even the steps on the stage could not reach, guo Degang's heart was cold, "Yes, let's go back to Tianjin." ”

　　In March 1999, after Wang Baoqiang came to Beijing, he first found a place to live in the basement of Beitan Beach.

　　The basement was full of pipes, and "all the abandoned things in this building, wastewater, garbage, defecation, flowed over my head." The room I live in has six people. Three beds, bunk beds, 20 yuan per person. There was no toilet in the house, and it was a long way to go to the toilet, so we put a night pot under the bed. There was a musty smell in the house, and so was the quilt. Many years later, the musty smell remains in my mind, and when I encounter a similar smell, I think of this basement. ”

　　Although Ma Yun's overall score is average, his English is surprisingly good. So after graduating from university, he went to Hangzhou Institute of Electronics Industry as an English teacher. After working for 4 years, the monthly salary is less than 100 yuan.

　　Ma Yun felt that it was not interesting to live like this, so in 1992, he founded a few friends to start Haibo Translation Agency, specializing in translation. Ma Yun signed a long contract with the landlord, and the monthly rent was 1500 yuan.

　　Ma Yun, who wanted to do a lot of work, never expected that the business of the translation agency would be so dismal, with a monthly income of less than 500 yuan. Not to mention paying wages, not even paying rent. In order to maintain the survival of the translation agency, Ma Yun went to Yiwu to wholesale a lot of small commodities, underwear, socks, flashlights, etc., and then sold around like a salesman.

　　"I've suffered a lot of cold eyes, I've suffered a lot of white eyes."

　　Not long after the security guard worked, Yue Yunpeng was dismissed because he did not have an ID card, and the boss was worried about being accused of child labor.

　　Yue Yunpeng had to look around for a job, and finally entered a food city. Start with washing dishes, then kill chickens and ducks, tired every day to die, so that after half a year, Yue Yunpeng finally upgraded to be responsible for the "steaming drawer".

　　But before his ass was hot, Yue Yunpeng was dismissed because the chef's brother took a fancy to the job. Yue Yunpeng cried angrily all night.

　　Not long after returning to the Tianjin Hongqiao Cultural Center, Guo Degang met his ex-wife Hu Zhonghui. The cultural center held a cross-talk student class, Guo Degang was a teacher, Hu Zhonghui was a student, the two fell in love at first sight, fell in love, and half a year later they entered the marriage hall.

　　In 1994, Guo Degang became restless again, and he came to Beijing again with more than 100 yuan, "I still want to talk about crosstalk in Beijing." ”

　　After arriving in Beijing, Guo Degang begged for help, hoping that which master and troupe could take him in, but no one was willing to accept him.

　　Guo Degang lives in a small hotel, the room rate is 15 yuan a day, plus eating, riding, a day to spend more than 20 yuan. He found that more than 100 yuan could not last for a few days, so after staying in Beijing for four or five days, he returned to Tianjin with a sigh.

　　After Wang Baoqiang came to Beijing, he not only lived in the worst house, but also ate the worst food. "To save money, every meal is a steamed bun plus a pot of water."

　　Later, after he mixed with his roommate, he began to cook together, "Six of us, together to buy a sack of potatoes." Every night when we went back, we would eat potatoes together: baked potatoes, boiled potatoes, fried potatoes, sliced, cut, shredded, and we thought about all kinds of ways. After eating, when they saw potatoes, they wanted to vomit, and they both felt that each other had a potato smell. ”

　　In 1995, Hangzhou was about to build a highway, and an American company was involved in the project. But the project went on for a while, but the U.S. company delayed paying, and the government wanted to go to the United States to coordinate.

　　To coordinate, you have to find an interpreter, so the government looks for Ma Yun. This trip to the United States gave Ma Yun a windfall - knowing the Internet.

　　Ma Yun felt that the Internet was really magical, he searched for the word "beer" and saw relevant information from many countries, but there was no China. So a thought was born in Ma Yun's mind: "China, I can do it." ”

　　As soon as he returned, Ma Yun resigned from the translation agency, invited a few friends, raised 100,000 yuan, and created China's first commercial website, the China Yellow Pages. "Spread China's trade and business information to the world."

　　In order to publicize and promote the Chinese Yellow Pages, Ma Yun went to seek support, only to be invited out again and again, "This person does not look like a good person at first glance." ”

　　In the taxi, Ma Yun cried bitterly: "I hope that Chinese succeeds early and cannot be delayed any longer." ”

　　Under the bitter insistence of Ma Yun, the Chinese Yellow Pages finally got better day by day, and was acquired by Hangzhou Telecom a year later.

　　But soon, Hangzhou Telecom and Ma Yun had serious differences in business philosophy. The Tao is different, not conspiratorial. In 1997, Ma withdrew from the Yellow Pages of China.

　　After being dismissed by the food city, Yue Yunpeng had no choice but to go to a restaurant to clean the toilet. But not long after that, he was fired again for making a mistake.

　　After being expelled, Yue Yunpeng thought for two days, "I still have to learn a craft." So he ran to Yanqing to study welders, worked for two months, and after suffering hardships and oppression, he "escaped" from there.

　　Yue Yunpeng was really poor at that time, a pair of leather shoes, the bottom was off, and he was reluctant to throw them away. He went to take the bus, he didn't have money to buy a ticket, the conductor scolded him, he was in tears, he didn't dare to say a word.

　　After returning to Tianjin, Guo Degang was still unwilling and decided to build a theater by himself, so he chartered a venue near the Second Cultural Palace in Tianjin, with a monthly rent of 5,000 yuan.

　　The venue was there, but no one came to listen to the crosstalk, and Guo Degang had to close the door for a few months and lost tens of thousands. After that, I did a few more businesses, but in the end, I failed and owed a bunch of debts.

　　Forced to sell a house in the family. Guo Degang tossed and turned five times, making Hu Zhonghui gradually dissatisfied. The relationship between the two became more and more strained, and finally they had to choose divorce.

　　Every morning, Wang Baoqiang went to the door of the North Film Studio to wait for work, hoping to be a mass actor.

　　After waiting for half a month, he finally received his first job. This is a Qing Dynasty drama, Wang Baoqiang put on the collared clothes: "What to act, how to act?" ”

　　The group head narrowed his eyes: "What others do, you just follow." ”

　　So Wang Baoqiang followed a group of people from this end of the street to the other end of the street, and then it was over. Back at the residence, Wang Baoqiang began to chant: "When will this drama be staged, I will see if I can find me." ”

　　The roommate laughed. Wang Baoqiang longed for success. At that time, success was in his eyes: "See the face on TV, hurry to the toilet, go to the toilet and come back to see yourself, then it is successful." ”

　　In 1997, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation wanted to establish the China International E-commerce Center and invited Ma Yun to form and manage the team.

　　Ma Yun went to Beijing with a few brothers, and after working in Beijing for 14 months, Ma Yun resigned: "There are too many rules and regulations, and I can't open my fists and feet." ”

　　At the end of 1998, Ma Yun said to a group of brothers: "I brought you to Beijing, but I am going back to Hangzhou myself, and I will give you three choices." First: Stay in the Beijing office, the job is very stable, and the salary is good. Second: I recommend going to Yahoo, Sina, sohu, the job is relatively stable, and the salary is also very high. Third: Follow me back to Hangzhou to start a business, but the monthly salary is only 500 yuan, there is no rest day in 10 months, we can't afford to rent a house, so we can only work at my home. After 10 months, if the business fails, we will go our separate ways. You think about it for three days and then tell me. ”

　　There were no three days of waiting, only three minutes later, and everyone said, "We will follow you back to Hangzhou." Ma Yun's eyes immediately turned red.

　　Instead of burning electric welding, Yue Yunpeng went to a restaurant to work as a waiter. But not long after doing so, he was fired again. Because of a mistake in his busyness, he wrote two bottles of beer ordered at table 5 to table 3. Because of the overcalculation of 6 yuan of beer money, the man at table 3 not only did not pay the bill, but also insulted Yue Yunpeng with various dirty words. "My various losses are not, none of them work, and in the end I paid for 352 yuan myself."

　　But even if he paid the bill, the manager still did not let him go: "Don't make his mistakes, if you make them again, you will end up with him." ”

　　Yue Yunpeng cried again all night.

　　In 2015, Yue Yunpeng was interviewed by Face to Face. The host asked, "Do you still hate that guest?" ”

　　Yue Yunpeng replied, "I still hate him!" He cried when he finished.

　　Guo Degang was always unwilling, so he went to Beijing again in 1995.

　　He rented a small room in the remote Daxing, renting 150 yuan a month, and then made a chores for a troupe in Shazikou. After 3 months of miscellaneous work, he had his first chance on stage.

　　At that time, the troupe promised him: "Give you 1,000 yuan a month." But on the day of the paycheck, people said, "I'll see how you perform next month." ”

　　With no income and no food, Guo Degang boiled the noodles into a paste, then bought back a bundle of green onions, and ate "paste with green onions" every day.

　　One day, the show ended too late and the buses were already closed. Guo Degang asked a package of live private cars: "Daxing, go?" ”

　　The driver said, "Go." ”

　　Guo Degang said: "I don't have any money, give you my pocket watch." ”

　　As soon as the driver listened, he turned his head and left. Guo Degang had to walk home. Cars roared by one, Guo Degang looked up at the sky, and all kinds of tastes poured into his throat, "My tears flowed down." When I walked home at 4 a.m., my feet were full of blisters. ”

　　Just lying on the bed, the landlord came, came to ask for rent, Guo Degang did not dare to open the door, the landlord scolded at the door for half an hour.

　　The next day, Guo Degang had a high fever, no money, did not dare to go to the hospital, he sold the pager, "bought three packs of cold medicine and two steamed buns." ”

　　Wang Baoqiang's fourth group performance was to play "a refugee fleeing the wilderness", the plot was kicked down by an officer of a warlord, and even people took baskets and flipped into the ditch.

　　Wang Baoqiang originally thought that it was just a show, but he did not expect that the actor who played the officer actually kicked, and the big scalp shoes kicked on Bao Qiang's waist and eyes, and the pain caused him to curl up into shrimp rice, so the ditch flipping action was incoherent. The director was not satisfied: "Start over. ”

　　With another heavy kick, Bao Qiang endured the pain and rolled into the ditch.

　　The director was still not satisfied: "Who is looking for this person?" What's the point of finding a fool? ”

　　So I shot it a third time. The third time, finally passed. "On my waist, after a week, there are bruises on my shoes."

　　On February 20, 1999, in a neighborhood called Lakeside Garden in Hangzhou, Ma Yun gathered 17 people and held a famous mobilization meeting in Alibaba's history.

　　Everyone sat on the floor, and Ma Yun stood in the middle and spoke for two full hours: "From now on, we are going to do a great thing..." Ma Yun, along with these 17 people, was later called "Ali 18 Arhats."

　　A few days later, Ma ran a job advertisement in the newspaper. It reads in English: "If not now, When?" If not me，Who？ ”

　　If not now, when else? If it wasn't me, who else could it be?

　　After being expelled because of "remembering the beer", Yue Yunpeng was introduced by his fellow villagers to a fried sauce noodle restaurant as a waiter.

　　This noodle shop is quite high-grade, requiring employees to wear cardigans, round cloth shoes, and have to say Kyo film: "Here you come, a few inside please!" ”

　　In December 2003, an old acquaintance who often came to eat noodles called Yue Yunpeng aside: "Your voice is quite good, I will introduce you to a person, you can learn cross-talk with him." ”

　　Yue Yunpeng asked, "Who?" The old man said, "Guo Degang." ”

　　20 years ago, in 1999, that year, Wang Baoqiang was 15 years old. That year, Ma Yun was 35 years old.

　　After a period of cross-talk in the troupe, Guo Degang finally had some nicknames, and from the end of 1998 to the beginning of 1999, together with Zhang Wenshun and Li Jing, he founded the "Beijing Cross-talk Conference", which is the predecessor of today's Deyun Society.

　　Guo Degang finally has his own theater, although the theater has it, but the business is light, how light is it? Often "one person on stage, one person offstage".

　　"I was talking about crosstalk, the audience's mobile phone rang, when he answered the phone, I stopped, and when he finished answering the phone, I continued." 」

　　The business was light and he could not afford to pay the rent, so Guo Degang had to go around selling art with the troupe, and in the process of selling art, he met Wang Hui.

　　Wang Hui is a famous actor of Jingyun Big Drum, and he held a solo show at the age of 14. After many contacts with Guo Degang, this girl fell in love with Guo Degang, completely ignored her parents' opposition, and married Guo Degang "regardless of herself".

　　In 2003, Guo Degang moved the performance venue to Tianqiao, and the "Beijing Xiangsheng Conference" was renamed "Deyun Society", but the business was still extremely light. Just when the Deyun Society was about to close down, Wang Hui gave him the greatest support and sold all the cars and jewelry, "The Deyun Society has a chance to breathe." ”

　　After doing group performances for a while, Wang Baoqiang met a cave head who did martial arts through a brother in the Shaolin Temple, so Wang Baoqiang began to be a "stand-in".

　　During the filming of "Bus Detective," "As a stand-in, I'm going to fall off a high ladder. Below is a concrete floor without any protective measures. As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell straight down. With a thud, my head buzzed. ”

　　The director said, "Start again! Bao Qiang slammed down again.

　　Director: "Start over! Bao Qiang slammed down again.

　　When the director called "OK", Bao Qiang was almost unconscious, and blood soaked his entire sleeve.

　　From the beginning of this movie, many cave heads know Wang Baoqiang, "Not afraid of death, others fake fall, he really falls." ”

　　Alibaba's development is not very smooth, and after working for less than half a year, it cannot afford to pay wages. Ma Yun had to go around raising funds.

　　Ma asked for 37 VCs, but 37 were rejected. Alibaba, seeing that he is about to die.

　　Although he didn't know who Guo Degang was, Yue Yunpeng was moved. Every day from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., it is the rest time of the waiter. So every day after lunch, Yue Yunpeng rushed to the Deyun Society, listened to the cross-talk and heard 4:30, and then trotted all the way back to the store.

　　After listening to crosstalk for a while, Yue Yunpeng felt that Guo Degang was quite good, so he called home and said: "I want to learn a technology, I don't want to be a waiter, give me two years." In the past two years, I have not sent money to my home, and if I can't learn, I will go home and farm. ”

　　Deyun Society could not make ends meet, and Guo Degang had to look around for work. In 2003, a variety show in Anhui wanted to recruit a host, and Guo Degang ran to apply. The column team wanted to test whether he had endurance, so they made a vitrine window in the bustling section of the road, allowing him to broadcast 48 hours of life in it, during which he had to cooperate with the audience to perform the program.

　　The audience made him punch, made him yell, let him knit sweaters...

　　Guo Degang felt terrible in his heart, but he had to pretend to smile, "Almost then I collapsed." ”

　　After gritting his teeth for 48 hours, Guo Degang finally became the host. Hosting a program, Anhui Satellite TV gave 4,000 yuan.

　　But before long, the salary fell all the way, and then simply did not give money, and Guo Degang had to cut off this errand.

　　It is actually difficult to do group performances and stand-ins, sometimes for a long time can not receive work, can not receive work without money, no money will be hungry, Wang Baoqiang had to go to work as a porter, earning 25 yuan a day.

　　Wang Baoqiang is very frugal in eating and wearing, he saves the money he earns, "Every once in a while, I will go to wash the photos, and when I wash them, I will take dozens of pictures, and then distribute them to the cave head and the assistant director." ”

　　The roommate laughed at him: "Can the big director see it?" Maybe it's thrown on the road. ”

　　Wang Baoqiang said: "The 100th can't be seen, but the 101st can be seen." ”

　　Just when Alibaba couldn't hold on, after being introduced by friends, Ma Yun found SoftBank CEO Sun Zhengyi. Son Zhengyi said: "I only give you 6 minutes." ”

　　Ma Yun spoke up in a dangling voice. After the 6-minute speech, Son Zhengyi said a sentence: "I decided to invest in Alibaba. ”

　　Jack Ma got $20 million in venture capital, and Alibaba finally got through the storm.

　　In early 2004, Yue Yunpeng resigned and ran to The Deyun Society to join Guo Degang.

　　Guo Degang really didn't want to take him in, because Yue Yunpeng didn't have any bottom, and he didn't even know the name of the dish. But seeing that Yue Yunpeng was really pitiful, he remembered what he had suffered over the years, so he took Yue Yunpeng in, "Let's start with miscellaneous work, and give you 50 yuan a week." ”

　　In a few days, Yue Yunpeng didn't want to do it, I could still take 1,000 yuan as a waiter, and I could only take 50 yuan here. But after watching some cross-talk masters' CDs, Yue Yunpeng finally calmed down: "Learning cross-talk can become an artist, and the older you are, the more popular you are, and drying waiters is not a long-term solution after all." ”

　　So in addition to doing miscellaneous work every day, Yue Yunpeng concentrated on practicing "speaking and singing".

　　Any industry talks about circles, and the same is true in the field of cross-talk. Without the promotion of the big guy and the recognition of the big guy, it is difficult for you to get a good performance opportunity.

　　Guo Degang said that the skills of cross-talk have long been first-class, but because the big guys do not recognize him, he cannot get a good performance opportunity.

　　At the beginning of 2004, Guo Degang went to Guangzhou to perform, this performance brought him light, Hou Yaowen happened to be on the scene at that time, he praised after watching Guo Degang's cross-talk, "This boy is really good." ”

　　Soon after returning to Beijing, Hou Yaowen took Guo Degang as an apprentice. Guo Degang knelt on the ground, grateful to Zero.

　　Wang Baoqiang's distribution of photos finally had an effect. In 2002, he was moving cement at the construction site when the pager beeped and he rushed to get back the call. The other side of the phone said: "Wang Baoqiang?" We have the Blind Well crew here. Come to the makeup audition tomorrow. ”

　　This is a movie about a mine, and the actor has to go down a mine hundreds of meters deep, but this mine is very dangerous and can collapse at any time.

　　Male number two is no longer acting. The director group couldn't find the right person for a while, and they remembered Wang Baoqiang. Wang Baoqiang made male number two in this way.

　　Wang Baoqiang never dreamed that this drama would allow him to win the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer. After winning the award, he called home, and his brother roared angrily on the other side of the phone: "Where have you been in the past few years, not a single phone call has come, thinking you are dead!" ”

　　Wang Baoqiang burst into tears.

　　After Ma Yun got $20 million in venture capital, he began overseas expansion plans: to establish offices in multiple countries and hire a large number of foreign first-class talents, "At that time, Alibaba had 30 engineers in Silicon Valley in the United States, and none of the annual salaries were less than 6 figures." ”

　　As a result, when it first entered 2001, Alibaba's capital chain became tense, "at most it can only support for half a year." ”

　　After several nights of insomnia, Ma made the big decision to return to China. Large-scale station layoffs began. The layoffs were too tragic. How tragic is it?

　　"Ali Gong number is arranged in chronological order of joining the company, Ma Yun is No. 1, the 20th is the founder of the company, and the first 100 is the company's old team. At that time, the big layoffs, less than 100 of the old employees laid off half. ”

　　When Ma Yun called his good friend Elliesman, he cried very sadly: "Am I a bad person? ”

　　After more than a year of hard training, Yue Yunpeng was finally able to say a few cross-talks. So Guo Degang let him take the stage and said a passage of "Miscellaneous Singing". The first time he took the stage, Yue Yunpeng was extremely nervous, and when he spoke, he was chaotic, and after only three minutes of speaking, he was bombarded off the stage by the audience.

　　As soon as he stepped down, he cried: "Master, don't drive me away..."

　　Guo Degang touched his head: "As long as I have a mouthful of food to eat, I won't let you go!" ”

　　With the promotion and promotion of Hou Yaowen, Guo Degang gradually gained the recognition of insiders.

　　On December 5, 2005, Sanlian Life Weekly published "Interview with Guo Degang, the Grassroots Hero of Crosstalk", the first sentence of the opening sentence was "Guo Degang is a strange person in China's cross-talk industry": "He is very famous among ordinary people, but he has won the fanatical pursuit of senior cross-talk fans." ”

　　As soon as this report came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the national media, so they ran to interview Guo Degang, and Guo Degang suddenly became a focus figure.

　　Two months after the End of the Golden Horse Awards, Wang Baoqiang received a phone call. "Hello, I'm Feng Xiaogang."

　　Wang Baoqiang couldn't believe it: "Are you really Feng Xiaogang?" ”

　　Feng Xiaogang asked, "Do you have a three-month slot?" ”

　　Wang Baoqiang replied in a loud voice: "Yes and no, every year." ”

　　Feng Xiaogang said: "Then you come to shoot "No Thief in the World". ”

　　Putting down the phone, Wang Baoqiang jumped up happily and did several flips in a row.

　　After the big layoffs, Ma Yun launched three major battles.

　　The first battle: "Yan'an rectification movement". It is to unify thinking and values.

　　The Second World War: "Anti-Japanese Military and Political University". It is to invest 1 million yuan in training and let employees become the best professionals.

　　The third battle: "Nanniwan reclamation". It is large-scale production, and the product must be made. These three heart-saving pills finally saved Ali, who was about to lose his breath.

　　After countless practices, in 2006, Yue Yunpeng finally took the stage again. This time, it finally amused the audience.

　　Since then, he has been out of control and has become our favorite "Little Yue Yue". On April 9, 2011, he held his first special commercial performance.

　　In 2005, repeated media reports made Guo Degang popular overnight. The deserted Deokunshe Theater suddenly became lively.

　　In 2005, Guo Degang went to the Poly Theater to perform, creating a miracle of returning to the theater 22 times. Since then, he has become a banner of Chinese cross-talk.

　　After the broadcast of "No Thief in the World", Wang Baoqiang became famous at once, and the scripts he made a film were piled up into a hill.

　　He took over the filming of "Soldier Assault" and won the Golden Eagle Award for Most Popular Actor. He took over the filming of Hello! Mr. Tree" won the Best Actor Award at the Asia Pacific Film Awards.

　　After suffering countless hardships, he finally became a household name.

　　Not to mention Ma Yun.

　　In 2009, he was named "The World's Top 100 Most Influential People" by Time Magazine. In 2014, he was named one of the "50 Greatest Leaders in the World" by Fortune magazine. In 2018, he was awarded the title of "Reform Pioneer" by the Party Central Committee and the State Council.

　　End

　　Why did I write about these four people? Standing at the beginning of 2019, I suddenly realized that the final outcome of this drama of life is actually the sum of choices and persistence.

　　If I could go back to 1999, I would say four things to myself at that time:

　　Every grandfather came from a grandson.

　　Ordinary people can also become heroes.

　　No one can succeed with talent, and only hard work can turn talent into genius.

　　How much beauty you can see depends on how hard you have worked to live.

　　Standing at the moment of 2019, maybe you are experiencing Yue Yunpeng's humiliation, maybe you are experiencing Guo Degang's disillusionment, maybe you are experiencing Wang Baoqiang's misery, maybe you are experiencing Ma Yun's Waterloo...

　　But no matter what tribulations you go through, I hope that you can stand up, grit your teeth, stand up, and maybe you can usher in the tomorrow when the clouds are open and the fog is dispersed.

　　Like a scene from The King of Comedy:

　　Cecilia Cheung said: "Look, the front is pitch black, and I can't see anything." ”

　　Zhou Xingchi said: "No, it will be beautiful after dawn." ”
