Some netizens like to label Mr. Guo Degang with praise, such as "without him, crosstalk is dead", as well as "the savior of the cross-talk industry", and "without Guo Degang, who still knows crosstalk".
The mood of these netizens can be understood, after all, some people are relatively young and have not heard much cross-talk, and they like to say everything and even overflow all over the place when they are affected by some influences.
In fact, the most objective evaluation for Mr. Guo Degang should be: the hero of the revival of the cross-talk industry. I believe that no matter where this evaluation is placed, no one will object.
So, the question is, if Mr. Guo Degang is a hero of the revival of the cross-talk industry, Li Jing, Xu Deliang, He Yunwei, Cao Yunjin and other people who have worked hard with him for many years, or if zhang Wenshun, Wang Yuebo, Wang Wenlin and other veteran actors before the popularity of the Deyun Society, are they considered to be the heroes of the cross-talk revival?
Why is there this problem? The reason is that these people, especially Li Jing, Xu Deliang, He Yunwei and Cao Yunjin, have suffered a lot of criticism and even insults from netizens in recent years, and some insults have almost reached the point of unreasonableness.
The author believes that Li Jing, Xu Deliang, He Yunwei, and Cao Yunjin are really heroes in the revival of the cross-talk industry.
1. Deyun Society's entrepreneurial elders
For Deyun Society, two watersheds in its development process are crucial.
One is obviously the end of 2005 and the beginning of 2006, which was the watershed of the deyun society's popularity of the whole network.
Another less obvious one is that around October 2004, three things were crucial, Deyun Society moved to Tianqiao Le, Dapeng began to recommend Deyun Society on radio, and Guo Degang visited Hou Yaowen.
Anyone who can join the Deyun Society before these two watersheds, and who is also the backbone of the Deyun Society's actor team, can be called an entrepreneurial elder.
Obviously, Li Jing, Xu Deliang, He Yunwei, and Cao Yunjin meet the criteria of the entrepreneurial elders of the Deyun Society.
Like Yue Yunpeng, who was called an entrepreneur, it was a bit reluctant, because he was not a backbone at that time, just a miscellaneous person.
Why should we emphasize this entrepreneurial elder, because Guo Degang is not the same as those Internet celebrities who have become famous by singing and dancing in front of the camera, Guo Degang's popularity is relying on the team of Deyun Society to become popular, without the team of Deyun Society, Guo Degang could not become popular in that year, and even said that it may be enough to change him to an ordinary team.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang started a bowl is really powerful, but he is not Rambo, one person can destroy Chen Youyu and Zhang Shicheng hundreds of thousands of troops, he also needs a team, and this team is too ordinary to do, you change Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen to Shi Nai'an, Luo Guanzhong to try, then Zhu Yuanzhang opened eight bowls can not do ah.
So, Zhu Yuanzhang is cattle, but can you say that Li Shanchang and Xu Da, these civilian and military generals are not Great Ming heroes, but just rubbing Zhu Yuanzhang's heat?
In the same way, without Guo Degang and Li Jing, they may just be an ordinary music worker, so the two sides are complementary to each other and achieve each other's relationship, you can have a primary and secondary distinction, but a protagonist is a hero, and the rest of the people are not objective.
2. Meritorious servants in the development of the Deyun Society
Since he is an entrepreneurial elder, he is naturally also a meritorious man.
In the early Days of Deyun Society, its performance programs were very rich, Guo Degang was not omnipotent, and some programs had to rely on other actors to support the scene.
Playing board, Guo Degang is far inferior to Li Jing, singing, Guo Degang is not how Yunwei came to be authentic, creation, Guo Degang still has to rely on the Peking University talent Xu Deliang, Taiping lyrics and double reeds, but also rely on Liu Wenbu to teach, funny big drum, that is Zhang Wenshun, single mouth, there is Liu Baorui apprentice Xing Wenzhao pressure array, Jingyun big drum white faction has Wang Hui, Liu Pai has Zhao Tongguang, as for the praise, almost everyone in the Deyun Society has given Guo Degang a hug, and the group mouth is full of people.
In the entrepreneurial stage of Deyun Society, Li Jing and these elders have made their own contributions to the development of the team, and the meritorious people have no objections.
Just kidding, even if Li Jing, Xu Deliang, He Yunwei and Cao Yunjin left the Deyun Society later, they still used various ways to "cooperate" with Guo Degang to create a lot of hot spots and traffic for the continued popularity of the Deyun Society, right?
Third, the revival of cross-talk is a systematic project
If we analyze the revival of the cross-talk industry in the early twenty-first century from the perspective of materialist dialectics, this is actually a systematic project.
1, the former people planted trees and the latter cooled off
Xiangsheng was once occupied by "farces" in the decade before liberation, and even Chang Baokun, Hou Baolin and Ma Sanli went to perform dramas or farces.
At the beginning of the liberation, it was even more miserable, because there were all kinds of bad content such as meat and smelly work, ethics and beating in the industry, the industry was once proposed to be banned, forcing Sun Yukui, Hou Baolin, and Luo Rongshou to go to Lao She for help.
Fortunately, driven by hou Baolin, Ma Sanli and other famous actors, the cross-talk industry not only did not die, but also became an art that the people liked to hear, a light cavalry on the cultural front, and by the 1980s, it had become the hottest entertainment program in China, which could compete with popular songs.
It is no coincidence that people like Guo Degang, Yu Qian, and Gao Feng almost all began to step into the door of cross-talk around the 1980s, and it is no coincidence that cross-talk actors were one of the shortcuts to get ahead in those years.
Although Xiangsheng has entered a trough of more than ten years since the 1990s, the industry predecessors have built a high platform for Xiangsheng, and there is no need for future generations to start from scratch.
As Newton said, his achievements are standing on the shoulders of giants, and Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli, Ma Ji, Jiang Kun, Niu Qun, Feng Gong and others are the shoulders of the posterity.
2, stick to the artist
From the end of the last century to the beginning of this century, the cross-talk industry was in a trough period, but even in the trough period, there were still many cross-talk actors who were holding their positions, from feng gong and Hou Yaowenshi Fukuan at the Spring Festival Gala, to Yu Baolin Feng Baohua in the Tianjin Tea House, Yin Xiaoxiao Liu Wenbu and then to the students of the Northern Qu School.
For example, guo Degang met a group of cross-talking children at the Jingwei Tea House in 1995, and he began to pick up his craft again and join them. Among these children are Zhang Boxin, Li Jing, Sun Yue, Wang Yuebo, Xu Deliang, Ying Ning and others, they are not to see the cross-talk industry fire can earn money before they come in, people really love this art.
When He Yunwei learned cross-talk, there was not a single person listening to cross-talk on Dashilar Street. When Tian Lihe gave Cao Yunjin enlightenment, Guo Degang was still looking for food everywhere.
Other well-known cross-talk actors such as Miao Fu Wang Sheng, Gao Xiaopan You Xianchao, Chen Yinquan Hou Zhenpeng, Jin Fei Chen Xi and others also began to learn cross-talk during the trough of cross-talk.
In particular, don't forget that there are still a large group of people in the tea house in Tianjin who talk about cross-talk every day, mr. Yu Baolin was the first to propose that cross-talk should return to the teahouse, and in 1998, he cooperated with Feng Baohua, Yin Xiaoxiao, Huang Tieliang, and Tong Shouben to set up the Zhongyou Xiangsheng Art Troupe to return xiangsheng to the small theater. At that time, Guo Degang was still performing in the Zhonghe Theater and drum music artists, and the main force of ticket sales in the Zhonghe Theater was drum music, not cross-talk.
It is precisely because of these artists who stick to the position of cross-talk that the cross-talk industry has a chance to revive.
The credit for the Battle of Kunyang cannot only be credited to Liu Xiu, who moved the rescue troops, and Wang Feng, who insisted on Defending Kunyang City, was not important?
3. Stick to the audience
The actor is a fish, the audience is water, although in the trough of cross-talk the water becomes less, from a big river to a small stream, but it is enough to feed the fish who insist on the small pond of cross-talk.
Without these streams, the fish are dead, and what revival will the cross-talk industry take? There is no trickle upstream, where the waves downstream are turbulent.
In summary, the second revival of xiangsheng is not the credit of any one person alone, but a systematic project, in this process everyone is a hero, Guo Degang is one of the representatives, Li Jing, Xu Deliang, He Yunwei, Cao Yunjin of course.
