A few days ago, Feng Gong posted a video of eating with his apprentice on social platforms.
In the video, the chicken legs and shrimp in Feng Gong's bowl were deceived by the apprentice with three words and two words, but Feng Gong was so angry that he had nothing to say.
Some netizens commented, "This is called the church disciple starving the master."
But this was only a paragraph after all, and people familiar with Feng Gong knew that his relationship with his disciples was good!
As the predecessor of the cross-talk circle, Feng Gong received many apprentices in his lifetime, but the most well-known is these six.
1. Jia Ling
When it comes to Feng Gong's disciples, the first thing that has to be mentioned is Jia Ling.
But what most people don't know is that Jia Ling can enter the cross-talk industry, which is purely a mistake.
In 2001, Jia Ling took the college entrance examination for the second time and was fortunate to be admitted to the Central Academy of Drama.
Originally, she planned to enroll in a drama acting class, but due to her mother's accent problem, she was heard as a "comedy" by the registered teacher.
So she mistakenly worshiped under Feng Gong's door and became a female cross-talk actress.
There are very few people who learn cross-talk in Chinese opera, and female students are even rarer.
Jia Ling described her experience in school: "When a woman learns crosstalk, it is like walking in the wrong bathhouse. ”
In this way, Jia Ling mixed in the pile of men every day, and slowly changed from a girl who loved beauty to a woman.
After graduating from Chinese opera, Jia Ling had to start facing this unpopular industry and cruel employment environment.
She had not found a job for a long time and could only rely on the relief of her family to survive.
But Jia Ling's parents are ordinary workers with low incomes, and life at home is very embarrassing.
Unable to help Jia Ling pursue her dreams.
At this time, Jia Ling's sister Jia Dan stood up,
She left 300 yuan a month for 800 yuan a month, and the rest was sent to Jia Ling.
In order to reduce her sister's burden, Jia Ling moved to a basement of less than 10 square meters to live.
The room was cold and damp, leaking air everywhere in the winter and stuffy in the summer.
In such an environment, Jia Ling lived for two years.
The difficulties of life can be endured for the time being, but the setbacks of her career have made Jia Ling confused.
More than once she doubted whether she was really a good fit for comedy.
Sometimes I even want to go back to my hometown to find a job, it's better than now, eating a meal without eating.
Just as she was swaying from side to side, a home visit by master Feng Gong changed her fate.
Seeing that the apprentice's life was so embarrassing, Feng Gong felt very remorseful in his heart.
Since then, Jia Ling has received a lot of commercial performances with the help of Feng Gong.
Slowly earn some money and never have to worry about sleeping on the street again.
In 2010, Jia Ling and her disciple Bai Kainan appeared on the CCTV stage.
Performing the cross-talk "Big Talk and Teasing", this made her get the attention of the people of the whole country for the first time.
Since then, she has participated in "Happy Comedians" and "Changeable Big Coffee Show".
As well as popular comedy variety shows such as "Ace to Ace", it has gradually grown into a "comedy sister" in the entertainment industry.
In 2021, Jia Ling's film "Hello, Li Huanying" based on her mother,
After its release, it earned 5.4 billion yuan at the box office, jumping to the third place in China's box office list.
Jia Ling can have her current achievements, thanks to the help of her mentor Feng Gong.
After becoming famous, Jia Ling pushed herself and others, and took the initiative to help those depressed comedians,
People like Xu Juncong, Zhang Xiaofei and others were discovered by Jia Ling when they were not famous.
The help and promotion of this generation is the best inheritance of Master Feng Gong.
2. Bai Kainan
Although now Jia Ling and Shen Teng's CP are hot,
But from the perspective of crosstalk, Jia Ling's partner must be Bai Kainan.
It's just that in recent years, the two people have begun to develop in the direction of sketches and variety shows, and have to go their separate ways.
Unlike Jia Ling in the north drift, Bai Kainan, born in 1981, is an authentic Beijinger.
The family was well off and my mother was a dancer.
Under the influence of his mother, Bai Kainan began to learn dance from an early age.
Every day I get up early and practice dancing in the dark.
At the age of 14, Bai Kainan entered the Chinese Song and Dance Troupe as a dancer.
However, due to the problem of appearance, it has always been ignored.
It is no wonder that Bai Kainan's appearance comedy is absolutely unique,
But as a dancer, the temperament is a big difference.
Bai Kainan was angry, but decided to change his career.
So he applied for the Chinese opera cross-talk performance class, studied under Feng Gong, and began to learn cross-talk.
Feng Gong had many apprentices, but he was the most strict with Bai Kainan.
Because I think only he can walk a long way in crosstalk.
At that time, Bai Kainan was young, lazy and lazy all day, and forgot his words as soon as he performed, so he was often chased and scolded by Feng Gong.
Once, he was trained by Feng Gong for more than an hour, and when he went out, he cried bitterly holding the telephone pole.
Under the teaching of Feng Gong, Bai Kainan's ability improved by leaps and bounds.
In 2010, he and Jia Ling appeared on the Spring Festival Gala together as newcomers, and since then they have gained a place in the cross-talk circle.
Since then, the two have cooperated in works such as "Love to Fight to Win", "Sesame Open Door" and other works, and gradually accumulated some fame.
Unfortunately, after becoming popular, the two eventually parted ways because of their different development concepts.
Since then, Bai Kainan has tried many fields.
He's been on variety shows, he's been a host, he's been in movies.
But it never caught fire like Jia Ling.
It wasn't until 2020 that he slammed back on the taste,
Ready to pick up comedy again, he signed up for the sixth season of Glee Comedians.
The result is not only not popular, but also was exposed to plagiarize other people's paragraphs,
Make the already blackened curry even worse.
Nowadays, Bai Kainan has rarely appeared on TV programs.
But in the past two years, with the rise of short video platforms,
Bai Kainan found another way to become popular and began to mix on the Internet.
After all, compared with a group of Internet celebrities, Bai Kainan still has a great advantage.
I hope that Bai Kainan can hone his performance ability on such a stage and return to the public.
3. Pan Binlong
In 1972, Pan Binlong was born in Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province.
Before visiting Feng Gong, Pan Binlong served as a literary and artistic soldier for 7 years.
With his acting talent, he is also a little famous in the army.
After retiring from the army, Pan Binlong wanted to develop in the literary and art circles.
So he was admitted to the Chinese opera cross-talk performance class and became Jia Ling's disciple.
Although the entry is late, Pan Binlong has rich experience in performing,
Therefore, he was taken to the Spring Festival Gala stage by Feng Gong early.
In 2008, he played an old lady in the sketch "Bus Concerto",
Due to the appearance time of only a few minutes, it did not leave much impression on the audience.
The next year, Feng Gong took him to the Spring Festival Gala of Beijing Satellite TV.
Performing the cross-talk drama "Homecoming", unfortunately did not stir up any splash.
Two consecutive defeats have plunged Pan Binlong into a trough,
After reflection, he decided to sink his heart and hone his acting skills.
Since 2009, he has appeared frequently in plays, movies and TV series.
Although he received only small roles, he also told himself that he must play them well.
The turning point came in 2016.
That year, Pan Binlong participated in the variety show "Happy Comedians" at the suggestion of his sister Jia Ling.
In the case of not being favored, Pan Binlong and his partner Cui Zhijia
Performed one wonderful skit after another, all the way to the finals.
Although he lost to Yue Yunpeng in the end, this game
It has made many people notice this humorous Northeastern actor.
Since then, Pan Binlong has taken advantage of this wave of popularity,
Successively participated in the movies "Reverse Life", "The Unknown Generation", "Human Comedy", etc.,
Gradually it gained a place in the comedy circle.
In 2020, the 49-year-old Pan Binlong shined on the stage of "I Am an Actor".
Accustomed to acting in comedy, he finally impressed the judges with a tragedy and won the championship.
It can be seen that whether it is a comedy or a drama,
Only by winning the recognition of the audience is the greatest success.
Pan Binlong has been sharpening a sword for decades, and he can win the championship.
In the popular TV series "In the World" some time ago,
Pan Binlong made a cameo appearance as a shrewd little character, Li Wanquan.
Although the number of appearances is not much, it highlights the performance skills.
Some people commented that he turned tragedy into comedy as soon as he appeared.
Pan Binlong has been practicing art for many years, and finally cultivated the right results, I believe that master Feng Gong will also feel pleased.
4. Song Ning
In 1981, Song Ning was born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province.
She has been very interested in acting since she was a child.
Coupled with being very beautiful, I decided to become an actor.
In 2000, Song Ning was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama as he wished.
According to her looks, it should be developed in the direction of the main drama,
But an accident disrupted the trajectory of her life.
It was 2002, and Song Ning and her classmates were invited to the art troupe to participate in a competition.
Originally, she thought it was just a formality, but as soon as she pushed the door open, her legs were soft.
The people sitting in the audience were Feng Gong, Jiang Kun, Li Jindou and other bigwigs in the music and art circles.
In the eyes of everyone, Song Ning and his classmates trembled and performed a cross-talk "West Brother And East Sister".
Although the performance effect was not good, Feng Gong thought that Song Ning had great potential, so he took her as an apprentice.
In 2005, Song Ning appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, performing the skit "Wishing For Life" with Sun Tao and others.
However, due to the lack of brilliance in the sketch itself, Song Ning did not become popular because of it.
In the same year, Feng Gong directed and starred in the movie "Can't Eat Hot Tofu in a Hurry"
A role was also assigned to her, but again it didn't get much attention.
In the following ten years, Song Ning has always participated in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala rehearsal as a B corner.
That is, the "spare tire" when the protagonist has an emergency.
Despite this, Song Ning never complained, but immersed himself in honing his acting skills.
It was not until 2017 that Song Ning appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage again, playing Guo Donglin's wife in the sketch "Divorce Restaurant".
This Spring Festival Gala performance finally won her some attention, and since then she has been active in TV series.
In 2020, in the TV series "An Jia" starring Sun Li, Song Ning's performance was also very eye-catching.
Because she played a negative role in the play, many people chased after her Weibo and insulted her.
Although it has caused some trouble to her life, if you think about it, this is not the same affirmation of acting skills.
As a person with good looks, strength, and teacher support, Song Ning debuted very early, but he could not catch fire.
People have to sigh, fire is still not fire, it is really a metaphysics!
5. Li Mingyu
In 1983, Li Mingyu was born in Tianjin.
Strictly speaking, he is still a little different from the average Tianjin person.
He was born in the old city of Tianjin, and his ancestors were all old Tianjin people.
This led to a stronger love for cross-talk, a form of music art from Tianjin.
There are many small theaters in Tianjin, and Li Mingyu goes to the Zhonghua Quyuan in Nanshi every three to five minutes to listen to cross-talk.
After a long time, the boss knows him and will deliberately leave a seat for him.
It wasn't enough to listen, Li Mingyu still wanted to go on stage and say two paragraphs on his own, but unfortunately he couldn't find a teacher to teach.
So Li Mingyu thought of a way - to follow the tape recorder to learn.
According to cross-talk jargon, this is called play tickets, but Li Mingyu does not want to be an amateur,
He wanted to be a semi-professional cross-talk actor.
Just listen to it while thinking about it, and really let him play out to make a name,
When he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was asked to perform on stage.
Although he can only earn a dozen or twenty yuan a game, he still enjoys it.
In 2003, Li Mingyu heard about the enrollment of the Chinese opera cross-talk class, so he went to register.
With a good foundation in cross-talk, Li Mingyu was admitted with the third place in the professional course.
Since then, he has become Feng Gong's apprentice.
Li Mingyu's cross-talk talent also began to appear at this time.
During his school days, Li Mingyu felt that the passages taught in the school were too old.
And the progress is too slow, and learning is not addictive.
So he began to try to create his own cross-talk, and performed in the theater when he was fine.
This allowed him to slowly accumulate a lot of popularity.
After graduation, Li Mingyu stayed in Beijing and performed in a theater.
As a result, just four performances were on fire, and there were many admiring audiences on the stage every day.
Supposedly this was a good thing, but as a result, the owner of the theater stopped doing it first.
After all, people open theaters to support themselves, and what happens when you get caught fire first?
So I directly showed him two ways out.
One is honest performance, don't be a moth.
Second, if you have the ability, open a theater and play it yourself!
As soon as Li Mingyu heard that it was reasonable, he pulled up the team and opened a "MingleHui Pioneer Cross-Talk Base Area".
Although there were some difficulties in starting out,
But after years of perseverance, Li Mingyu has gained a firm foothold in the cross-talk circle.
Nowadays his theater is in good operation,
It has won the favor of some investors and embarked on a broader development path.
In addition to writing cross-talk for himself, Li Mingyu sometimes participates in the creation of Feng Gong's Spring Festival Gala works.
The "Bus Concerto" mentioned above is from the hand of Li Mingyu,
The work also won the first prize of the Spring Festival Gala Work.
Among Feng Gong's many apprentices,
Li Mingyu is one of the few people who has really made achievements in the cross-talk industry.
In addition to Li Mingyu's own talent, this is naturally indispensable to Feng Gong's teachings.
6. Cao Suifeng
Cao Suifeng was born into a rural family in Luoyang, Henan.
From an early age, he liked to imitate all kinds of sounds, whether it was animal sounds,
Or celebrity speech, he can imitate to fake the truth.
When he was a child, Cao Suifeng dreamed of becoming an actor, but due to his poor family,
Cao Suifeng had to start working outside the home at the age of 14 to subsidize his family.
But Cao Suifeng was not willing to be a migrant worker all his life.
So he worked while recording more than 20 tapes.
The tape was then sent to the TV station, hoping to get a chance to perform.
The kung fu paid off, and his bold attempt was echoed.
In 2000, Fujian TV's "Happy 100" program invited him to participate in the competition, and Cao Suifeng gladly went there.
Among the players, the diminutive Cao Suifeng was very inconspicuous, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was shocked.
Cao Suifeng first performed a period of ventriloquism, and then imitated Shan Tianfang to say a commentary, and the whole performance was exquisite.
With outstanding talent, Cao Suifeng finally defeated his opponent and won a prize of 5,000 yuan.
But to everyone's surprise, Cao turned his head and donated the money to the Hope Project.
You know, 5,000 yuan more than 20 years ago is a lot of money, equivalent to the annual income of many families.
Cao Suifeng's good deeds attracted the attention of many people, including the military cultural and industrial corps.
After the game, Cao Suifeng's front foot just arrived home,
Three soldiers came to visit on the back foot and wanted to recruit him as a literary soldier.
So Cao Suifeng, who looked honest and thick, became a soldier from then on.
In 2007, Cao Suifeng and his partner Wang Tong performed cross-talk at a gala, and Feng Gong happened to be present.
I learned that Cao Suifeng had not studied cross-talk professionally, but he still said it so well,
Feng Gong suddenly developed a heart of love for talent and accepted Cao Suifeng as an apprentice.
After visiting Feng Gong, Cao followed the master twice to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
The true color starred in his own thick and honest side, and at the same time enhanced the image of Henan from the side.
Nowadays, in the short videos released by Feng Gong, cao suifeng can often be seen.
Feng Gong has many apprentices, but he can often accompany him.
There is only one Cao Suifeng, which shows the importance that Feng Gong attaches to him.
epilogue
A good teacher is the guiding light of life.
From this point of view, what Feng Gong did was absolutely impeccable.
He treats every student equally,
Not only does it solve their problems, but it also provides them with the opportunity to become famous.
Not only get on the horse, but also give a ride.
Because of this, Feng Gong's was also respected by his disciples.
The love between master and apprentice is deep and deep, which can be called a model of the entertainment industry.
