"Dashan is a foreigner, but not an outsider."
At the CCTV New Year's Day party in 1989, a blonde "crooked nut" appeared.
He wore a military coat and spoke Mandarin with a "foreign accent", which sounded a bit "self-sufficient".
Dare to perform a language program in front of Chinese? Aren't you afraid of making a big joke?
In fact, the show was a success!
The sketch performance of "Chinese and Western Fusion" made the audience shine, and Oyama himself successfully mixed a familiar face and was well known by many people.
And this is not the end, since then, Dashan has been on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage four times! Become the first foreigner to win the "Magnolia Award"; And visited the master of cross-talk, Jiang Kun, and began to formally learn the art of cross-talk; Since then, he has founded his own program "Dashan Kan Dashan".
But it is such a foreign man who has been added by countless auras, but suddenly disappeared during the period of popularity, what happened to the mountain?
The "indissoluble relationship" between mountains and China
If you want to talk about the fate of the mountains and China, it has to start from his grandfather's generation.
As early as 1922, Dashan's grandfather Roswell crossed the ocean and came to Shangqiu, Henan, mainland China, for medical assistance.
At that time, together with his colleagues, he founded the "Guide St. Paul Hospital", which is the predecessor of today's "Shangqiu First People's Hospital".
Subsequently, because of the tight war, Dashan's grandfather was forced to leave China. But his entanglement with this part of China continued to his grandson Dashan.
Oyama first came into contact with Chinese in a photo studio. At that time, he worked part-time in the store and became acquainted with an overseas Chinese colleague. It was also with the help of this colleague that Oyama began to learn Chinese.
But this learning experience unexpectedly made a "big joke".
It turned out that before the study began, this overseas Chinese colleague asked Dashan:
"Do you want to learn written language, or do you want to be grounded?"
For the mountain with Chinese 0 foundation, no matter how Chinese divided, it is for him: a Chinese that he can't understand.
But Oyama pondered that he learned Chinese for no other reason than to communicate with people normally. Then learn a non-written language!
So he learned "Cantonese" with his colleagues. Fortunately, this "wrong way" did not take long to be corrected!
In 1984, at the age of 19, Oyama was admitted to the coveted East Asian Department of the University of Toronto. He began to systematically contact Chinese, and even gave himself a Chinese name - "Lu Shiwei".
And his enthusiasm for Chinese has not diminished, but has become more and more intense!
In his sophomore year, Oyama directly majored in "Chinese Studies". And with the love of Chinese culture, we have achieved excellent professional results.
The teachers of Dashan's professional class could not help but wonder whether this student had Chinese ancestry? Why are you so obsessed with Chinese culture?
What is certain is that Dashan really has no Chinese ancestry. But like other Chinese children, he has a deep yearning for China.
Finally, in the year of graduation, Oyama "realized his dream"!
Dashan's "Trip to China"
In the year of Dashan's graduation, the school set up a new exchange program that will send international students to China for further study.
Such a good opportunity, the mountain naturally will not miss. With his excellent professional results and Chinese foundation, he easily won this opportunity. Got on a flight to China.
Became an international student at Peking University in mainland China.
I thought that this period of study abroad years would be spent unevenly, but I did not expect a notice to make the life of dashan "not peaceful".
It turned out that in order to make this year's New Year's Day party more innovative, CCTV program planning boldly tried. I hope that foreign students can also participate in this Lantern Festival. So they sent invitations to universities.
Dashan is full of interest in Chinese culture, and he should not give in to have a good opportunity to get close and personal! Immediately accepted the invitation of the program team.
So there is the Chinese youth "Xu Dashan" in "Night Return".
However, it is precisely because of this show that Oyama himself "lost his real name".
It turned out that in the performance, his grounded dress and fluent Chinese made the role of Oyama "come alive" and was loved by many audiences.
Many people also equate the international student "Lu Shiwei" [Dashan Chinese name] with "Xu Dashan", affectionately calling him "Dashan".
After that, he began to develop and live in China under this name.
The "Crosstalk Road" of Oyama
The sketch attempt at the New Year's Day gala gave Dashan his first close contact with traditional Chinese art.
However, in the program that night, the one who left the deepest impression on him had to be Jiang Kun and Tang Jiezhong's "Extra Big News"!
In this way, the art of relying solely on the dialogue between two people can cause the audience to laugh continuously, which deeply attracts Dashan and makes him have a strong interest in crosstalk.
After returning to school, Oyama listened to the performances of many cross-talk masters. And plucked up enough courage to find Teacher Ding Guangquan, tidi wanted to follow him to learn to speak crosstalk.
Master Ding himself was also very surprised, foreigners said crosstalk? Just learning Chinese is very difficult, but also to grind the mouth kung fu, this foreign guy can really do it?
Dashan's sincerity impressed Master Ding Guangquan, who finally decided to accept this foreign disciple.
In the training after this, Master Ding did not lower his requirements because Dashan was a foreigner, but would instead sharpen his sentences and tone more strictly.
In the end, this apprentice can also be regarded as a master!
Ding Guangquan personally gave him a praise, and the master-apprentice cooperation performed "Counting Treasures", which was not inferior to the original version.
However, after Ding Guangquan's side had worked hard to cultivate apprentices, Dashan didn't take long to find a young man to "throw another teacher"! What's going on here?
It turned out that although dashan was "out of the master", his pursuit of cross-talk did not relax. In order to develop in a higher direction, he plans to find another master for himself, that is, the new rising star in the cross-talk industry - Jiang Kun.
Jiang Kun was only 39 years old at the time, and he was definitely a young man in the cross-talk industry.
But what Dashan did not expect was that Jiang Kun rejected him mercilessly, why did Jiang Kun not give face so much?
Mainly the cross-talk industry pays great attention to generational division. Jiang Kun's master Ma Ji and Dashan's master Ding Guangquan are the same generation, so Dashan and Jiang Kun are also the same generation.
If Dashan worships Jiang Kun as a teacher, it is "self-descending generations.".
In addition, Jiang Kun believed that he had never taught foreigners to talk to each other, and did not dare to take this job easily.
But Dashan did not give up so easily, and even if he was rejected, he was not discouraged, but trained himself more strictly.
In the end, this sincerity and love touched Jiang Kun, and he officially took Dashan under his door.
He even invited Li Jindou, Liu Wei and others to witness the ceremony of the two people.
After that, under the guidance of Master and his own efforts. Dashan began his life of opening and hanging.
Why the mountains "retreat from the rapids"
As the first foreigner to learn cross-talk from a teacher, especially a cross-talk master like Jiang Kun. Naturally, the attention paid to the mountains is not small.
With the addition of his own fame, in 1991, he once again appeared on the Spring Festival Gala! He has completely opened his reputation in the cross-talk industry, and has cooperated with many old artists such as Jiang Kun, Ma Ji, and Pan Changjiang.
Subsequently, it also joined the "Canadian Embassy in China" and compiled the "Canada Travel Guide", which promoted people-to-people exchanges between "China and Canada".
Many netizens also commented: The Chinese level of the mountains today is even better than most Chinese!
It may sound like an exaggeration, but it can also be seen from this that everyone loves the mountains.
Just as the mountain cause was rising, his love also quietly came.
During a performance event, Dashan accidentally met a Chongqing girl named Gan Lin.
The two soon fell in love and conceived a son and a daughter after marriage.
Watching Dashan become China's "foreign son-in-law", the relationship with us should be closer, but he gradually withdrew from the cross-talk circle. He even sent his wife and children back to Canada together, why is that?
As the foreigner who made the most of the Spring Festival Gala, Dashan was at the peak of his career at that time. Not only is he becoming famous in the cross-talk industry, but his face can often be seen in many film and television works.
For example, "The Story of the Editorial Department", as well as film and television works such as "Underground Traffic Station" and "Court Painter Lang Shining".
But as the fame grew, so did the attention. In particular, many people set their sights on the family of the mountain, which makes the family unbearable.
Especially the two children of Oyama. Because of the mixed race, the appearance is very different from that of Chinese children, and they often receive strange eyes at school. In desperation, Dashan could only send his children and wife back to Canada to let the children grow up more freely.
But this also allowed Oyama and his wife to live separately. Running between the south and the north of the south sea for a long time, even the mountains are a bit overwhelmed.
At this moment, Feng Gong's words woke up the mountain:
"People can't have both fish and bear paws, you have to step out of your comfort zone."
Thinking back to my original intention of coming to China, I originally wanted to further understand traditional Chinese culture. Now that he has lost his eyes in the comedy circle, Oyama has suddenly woken up and returned to his original intention.
He returned his focus to his family and gradually faded out of everyone's sight. Spend more time with your wife and children.
However, the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Tiger had an accident, which brought dashan back to the audience's attention, and even spread the news of "master-apprentice quarrel", what is this?
The culprit is this sentence: "Perfume perfume plus aroma." ”
Someone screenshot said this sentence, which Oyama once said in the 2019 performance. Now that Jiang Kun took it out and used it at the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Tiger, was he "plagiarizing" the apprentice's work?
Jiang Kun was not in a hurry, but the mountains were in a hurry in Canada! A long video was recorded overnight to explain.
It turned out that this line of his was also "copied", "perfume perfume plus aroma" This sentence first came from Jiang Kun's "Cantonese", and Dashan also used this sentence with the consent of the master, and did not expect to lead to this "big oolong".
Therefore, this "plagiarism storm" is inevitably too ridiculous, but thanks to this oolong, the mountain appeared in front of us again.
So what do you think about his decision to return to the family?
