How to distribute benefits evenly has been a major problem since ancient times.
However, in the cross-talk industry, there is such a pair of partners, the implementation of a nine-point account, praise Guo Qiru only take 10%. The difference between the two is huge, and it seems that it is too unfair to outsiders, but Guo Qiru gladly accepts it and has no complaints, why does he have this mentality?

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="3" > and Hou Baolin are unevenly distributed, and the two are still in harmony</h1>
Guo Qiru cooperated with Hou Baolin after 1940, which has since become a turning point in his life.
At that time, the fame of both of them was not great, and if they were counted in seniority, Guo Qiru could be said to be Hou Baolin's uncle.
Tianjin Yanle Opera Park is the beginning of their popularity.
As a comical Hou Baolin is self-taught and has his own unique style. As a praiser, Guo Qiru has few and accurate words, and the rhythm is excellent, and he can easily dock with Hou Baolin. The language civilization of the two can directly grasp people's attention, so it is not unreasonable to become a popular crosstalk.

Since we cooperate, we have to talk about money. In the Republic of China period, generally speaking, in a performance, the comic can drive the atmosphere, which is more prominent, so the implementation of two-one account, the teasing takes two of them, and the rest is praised.
Although the saying goes, "three points of teasing, seven points of praise", but everyone pays more attention to the comic, so the two can be said to be a kind of attachment relationship, and the praise needs to survive by teasing!

However, there are a few extreme cases. Chang Baokun and Zhao Peiru are five or five points, because these two teachers are equal in strength. Being able to treat income in such a fair way is enough to see that the ideas between them are very compatible.

Everyone knows the reason, but when they saw the distribution of Guo Qiru and Hou Baolin, they still couldn't help but be surprised.
Isn't this a naked bullying? Moreover, Guo Qiru's generation was higher than Hou Baolin's, and he had gained great skill, but he only received a little reward.
Everyone is upset with Guo Qiru and thinks that this division is out of proportion. Hou Baolin was relieved to take most of his income, and he was also complained that his character was not up to standard, and he regarded money too seriously.

Normal people will feel unconvinced when they see that the remuneration and the payment are disproportionate, but Guo Qiru does not. He once said that "to raise a family is not to be angry, not to support a family", taking a step back from the sea and the sky, it is rare to have such a broad mind.
Later, Guo Qiru also made another statement on this matter, saying that although he and Hou Baolin were one-nine points, they could get 1,000 yuan at a time, and they could have 100 yuan of income. However, when working with others, although the proportion is even, the actual share is not as much as when partnering with Hou Baolin.
Guo Qiru felt reasonable
On the one hand, these words praised Hou Baolin's strength and reflected his modesty; on the other hand, he avoided Hou Baolin from being accused by others for no reason, which is the demeanor that a master should have.
Many people will have contradictions because of money, the former Deyun Society is like this, Cao Yunjin and Xu Deliang and others, all choose to leave for the sake of profit. It is Guo Qiru's tolerance and understanding that can talk with Hou Baolin for 28 years, the two are colleagues, friends, confidants, and indispensable beings in life.
Deyun Society withdrew talents
On this issue, Guo Degang and Yu Qian's approach has been recognized by people. The two are five or five points of account, which is not only fair, but also calms the contradiction between the two sides in terms of income, but also eliminates the possibility of others gossiping, killing two birds with one stone.
In fact, whether it is fair or unfair, the key is to look at the individual. For the greedy person, even if he gets ninety percent, he is not satisfied, and tries to take it all for himself.
Guo Degang and Yu Qian shared the stage
For Guo Qiru, he does not attach great importance to money, is diligent and frugal in his life, and does not want to live those luxurious lives. And he also understood that if it were not for the mutual achievements with Hou Baolin, he might not have the opportunity to emerge in the cross-talk industry.
Everyone also calls Guo Qiru's quality "green leaf spirit", silently dedicated behind his back, although there is no Hou Baolin this flower to be well-known, but without him Hou Baolin can not work.
The sea is full of rivers, and there is tolerance is great. Guo Qiru is indeed informal, and it is not unreasonable to be loved by future generations.

In that era of material poverty at that time, unlike other cross-talk actors, Guo Qiru had studied in private school for several years and had a certain level of literary literacy.
However, forced by his family's poverty, he had to come out early to work and earn a living. He has been a messenger, suffered from wind and rain, rain or shine, and has also worked as a policeman to maintain traffic order, but he has always had a regret in his heart.
Guo Qiru and his friends in the early years
When Guo Qiru was young, he had a special love for quyi. When he was a policeman, he often used to be double-minded, taking advantage of the absence of others, sneaking into the nearby Quyi Academy to enjoy the performance. As such days passed, Guo Qiru's love for Quyi became deeper and deeper, and he became more and more tired of the job of the police.
Guo Qiru's family
At the age of 23, he finally quit his stable job and plunged into the opera world. At first, Guo Qiru visited his master to learn to sing civilized drama, but in the process, he slowly found that he was more talented and more interested in cross-talk.
So two years later, he learned cross-talk with liu Dezhi, a famous cross-talk actor at that time, mainly focusing on praise, but also involved in comics.

Guo Qiru, who has achieved success in learning, has partnered with several cross-talk predecessors, and they have their presence in Beijing Tianqiao or in various markets.
Although the conditions are difficult and the remuneration is not high, as the experience becomes more and more abundant, and the humble consultation from the predecessors to make up for his shortcomings, Guo Qiru has slowly formed his own unique style, funny and humorous without losing baggage, and the performance is natural, allowing people to go deep into it.
Guo Qiru praised the improvement of his skill
Although several collaborators have been changed back and forth, and the basic skills are solid, Guo Qiru's fame in the cross-talk industry is not high, until he met Hou Baolin at the age of 40.
Although this young man is young, he is overwhelmed by the comic performance, and he urgently needs to find a suitable cheer. The two then hit it off and decided to work together.
Guo Qiru and Hou Baolin formed a partnership
Guo Qiru has deep qualifications and is stable in typhoons, but he is still willing to give Hou Baolin a tribute, because he believes in his own vision and believes that Hou Baolin can become a famous character.
Sure enough, the cooperation between the two was a match made in heaven, and at that time it was once called "civilization crosstalk". Whenever they share the stage with other cross-talk actors, they are always invited to the finale, which is not beautiful.
Although comparing himself with Hou Baolin, the money he got was indeed too small, but Guo Qiru was already satisfied. After all, Hou Baolin was more famous than himself, and naturally got more money.
Perform on the same stage
With the implementation of the national policy of "a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending", cross-talk has also been greatly developed. In 1955, Guo Qiru and Hou Baolin entered the Rap Ensemble of the Central People's Radio, and their performances were not only limited to the cities, but also went deep into the countryside and the grassroots, so that more people could understand the art of cross-talk and play a huge role in the spread of culture.
In addition, they also brought wonderful performances to Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and other politicians, which was enough to see the height of these two cross-talk actors in the field of cross-talk at that time.
Bring great performances to leaders
In Guo Qiru's heart, this is not only a job, but also his daily life. Inheriting and promoting crosstalk has become their mission and a habit.
He often said: What you want to tease, what you give, you can't have a little spilled soup and leaks. Whenever he comes on stage, although the strip has been performed countless times, he still maintains a high degree of enthusiasm and takes it seriously.
Being able to partner with Hou Baolin, not only not to dominate the crowd, but also to impress the audience with him, Guo Qiru is a well-deserved master of praise art.

Guo Qiru had a low profile in his life, and there were not many disciples, but he treated every disciple equally and spared no effort to teach them skills.
At the age of 62, there was a newcomer in the regiment, Li Wenhua, who had a great possibility of succeeding Guo Qiru and becoming Hou Baolin's next favorite.

For this arrangement, Guo Qiru was very clear in his heart, he knew that he was old and could not say goodbye for a few more years. But he did not have any imbalance, but looked at the matter with a normal heart, and even hoped that Li Wenhua could take on this heavy responsibility and stand on the stage with Hou Baolin one day.

Guo Qiru was an amiable old man who would not lose his temper with his disciples. In his spare time, he would also nag with Li Wenhua, telling his past experiences and some lessons to prevent him from falling into the same pit.
Whenever he performs, he will definitely let Li Wenhua follow him and let him observe his performance. On the one hand, I hope that Li Wenhua can learn knowledge faster and enter the role of Praise, on the other hand, it is also to let him be more familiar with Hou Baolin's typhoon, so that he can cope with it in the future.
Li Wenhua was very fortunate to be able to worship Guo Qiru as a teacher, because this master not only made rapid progress in art, but also understood many truths in dealing with the world, and Guo Qiru's open-mindedness deeply infected him.
In the later period, Guo Qiru gradually reduced his performances and put more time and energy into the direction of reform and creation of cross-talk. Several of their elders often get together to consult and discuss how to inherit the tradition and introduce new things, which also leaves many brilliant wonders in the history of crosstalk.

Whether it is a hilarious or teasing, or a stand-up, Guo Qiru is very proficient and has no shortcomings. Especially in the praise, he has been used by younger generations as an example, imitating his way of speaking and moving expressions, but it is difficult to learn the essence of it from beginning to end.

In 2005, the cross-talk community held a grand event to commemorate the 105th anniversary of the birth of Guo Qiru, an artist.
It is enough to make posterity go to such great lengths to praise his contribution to cross-talk, which is enough to see that Guo Qiru's status is lofty. This event was supported by many seniors, and Ma Ji, Jiang Kun and others all participated in the performance of Guo Qiru's classic repertoire, which can be described as a sensation.

Nowadays, it can be said that there are very few people who can catch up with Guo Qiru with cross-talk skills, and he has such achievements, but he has never been proud and complacent, but he has done his duty in a down-to-earth manner, and has not excessively pursued external things such as money and wealth, and is indeed a veritable artist in our hearts.
