There have been many suspenseful incidents in the crosstalk world, and some things are things that everyone knows the truth but no one wants to say, such as who stopped Li Wenhua from visiting Ma Sanli.
There are also some things that are loud and who takes advantage, such as the "Weiyang Palace" incident of the Deyun Society to be mentioned in this article, which has been repeatedly spread on the Internet as the "crime" of apprentice Cao Yunjin making trouble with Master Guo Degang's birthday banquet forcing his wife Wang Hui to kneel, but few people have explored what the truth is, and this article will lead you to find out.
First, Wang Liqin's statement
In the description of the "Weiyang Palace" incident of the Deyun Society popular on the Internet, most of the articles and videos are taken from the book "Qinkou Said: Deyun Society in My Eyes" by Wang Liqin, a minority shareholder of Deyun Society.
Wang Liqin is Wang Hui's own brother, that is, Guo Degang's brother-in-law, Zhang Yunlei's cousin, he defected to his sister after Guo Degang became famous, and held more shares in Deyun Society than Guo Degang, and Wang Liqin also served as his agent after Yue Yunpeng became popular.
The Weiyang Palace incident described by Wang Liqin in his book is roughly like this:
At Guo Degang's birthday banquet on January 18, 2010, C, that is, Cao Yunjin, began to pose as soon as he came in, and then held a cup to the table to lecture and scold.
After the training, Cao Yunjin was about to leave but was stopped by Guo Degang's agent Wang Hai, and Cao Yunjin shouted: I don't have enough to eat, I can't eat enough.
Guo Degang came out, Cao Yunjin first kowtowed to Guo Degang and said that he would not do it, and then swore to Guan Gongxiang, and left after kowtowing, Zhang Wenshun's daughter wanted to chase him but did not catch up.
After Cao Yunjin came out, he immediately called H, that is, He Yunwei: I'm done making trouble, I'm leaving, can't you go? He Yunwei was staring at the stage and hung up the phone.
Guo Degang changed his clothes and went on the stage, sang a piece of "Weiyang Palace" that was later praised by fans for a long time, Guo Degang went down to the first floor after getting off the stage, Wang Hui was talking to the apprentices, and when he was excited, he knelt down for everyone, she knelt, all the apprentices also knelt, crying.
This is what Wang Liqin said about the Deyun Society's "Weiyang Palace" incident, and there are three points that netizens need to pay attention to:
1, when Wang Hui knelt Cao Yunjin had already left, after he left, Guo Degang also sang a piece of "Weiyang Palace", Wang Hui took the initiative to kneel to the apprentices after Guo Degang finished singing, there is no Cao Yunjin here, it is inaccurate to say on the Internet that "Cao Yunjin forced the master to kneel", even Wang Liqin did not say so.
2, Wang Liqin did not explain why Bai Cao Yunjin made a big fuss about Guo Degang's birthday banquet, the words between the lines showed that he came to make trouble, and left after making trouble, in the middle of which he scolded the senior brothers, made phone calls, shouted with Wang Hai, and even swore that he had not had decent communication with Guo Degang and his wife.
Judging from Wang Liqin's description, Cao Yunjin is not like an apprentice and more like a ruffian who came to make trouble, cursing people without reason, blindly fighting bravely, and has no purpose.
3, Cao Yunjin called He Yunwei after leaving, Wang Liqin meant that they had made an appointment to make a birthday banquet together, but only Cao Yunjin made trouble, and He Yunwei instigated.
Second, Liu Yuntian's statement
Liu Yuntian has talked about the Weiyang Palace incident of Deyun Society in the live broadcast many times in 2023, of course, the main thing is that netizens have been asking, after all, he is one of the people present and understands the situation.
The reason why netizens keep asking actually means that many people do not agree with Wang Liqin's statement, after all, he is Guo Degang's brother-in-law and a shareholder of Deyun Society, and his position is too clear, so clear that he can't tell the whole truth.
Liu Yuntian gave this answer in a live broadcast on May 20:
Cao Yunjin was dissatisfied with the salary and contract of the Deyun Society, with a salary of 5,000, signed a contract for ten years, and was not allowed to take over private work, and violated the penalty of 1 million liquidated damages, not only Cao Yunjin was dissatisfied, but also other apprentices.
In the 2010 "Forbes China Celebrity List", Guo Degang ranked ahead of big stars such as Faye Wong with an income of 19.7 million yuan, in the eyes of the apprentices, the master is not poor in money, but the salary they give is too low.
So, Cao Yunjin and a group of apprentices made an appointment and proposed a salary increase together at Guo Degang's birthday banquet, and he mentioned it first as a representative, and the others followed.
As a result, on the day of the birthday banquet, Cao Yunjin took the lead in asking for a raise, but the other apprentices chose to watch from the sidelines, Wang Hui saw that the situation was not right and immediately knelt down to the apprentices, which suddenly shocked the apprentices, and they collectively knelt down to apologize to Guo Degang and his wife, which made Cao Yunjin, who took the lead in asking for a raise, into embarrassment, and he scolded the junior brothers present when he was miserable.
3. What is right and wrong?
From the perspective of position, Wang Liqin and Liu Yuntian are not neutral and objective positions, and their narratives have a certain tendency, which is understandable to human nature.
However, from the narratives of the two people, we can draw several similarities:
1. Cao Yunjin came out because he was dissatisfied with his income, not to quit the club and make trouble, and his motive was to increase his income, so he would get the response of other apprentices. Wang Liqin only said that Cao Yunjin and He Yunwei had conspired before, but from the later situation, it is very likely that there is Zhu Yunfeng here, because he also withdrew with Cao Yunjin in 2010.
Wang Liqin said in the book that Cao Yunjin shouted to Wang Hai, "I don't have enough to eat, I can't eat enough", which can also verify Liu Yuntian's words from the side.
It is important to understand this motive, because in the pen of Wang Liqin and many self-media, Cao Yunjin seems to have gone to make a big fuss about Guo Degang's birthday banquet in order to quit the company, his image is very hateful in the book, and Guo Degang and his wife seem to endure humiliation and burden, after all, it is the apprentice who makes trouble, the master sheds tears, and the master kneels, which is indeed very ugly.
In fact, Cao Yunjin went as an employee of Deyun Society, he was asking the company's boss to increase the income of employees, and at the same time did not want to sign a contract with harsh conditions.
2, Cao Yunjin should be other junior brothers to the pit, let him go alone at the critical moment, Wang Liqin only said that He Yunwei hung Cao Yunjin's phone, Cao Yunjin was pitted by He Yunwei, and Liu Yuntian said that many apprentices pit Cao Yunjin.
If according to Wang Liqin, Cao Yunjin had already left at that time, what was Wang Hui's intention in kneeling for other apprentices? Does it mean that even if Cao Yunjin is gone, the other apprentices still have opinions, so Wang Hui can only use the kneeling method to relieve her and Guo Degang.
4. Who to believe?
Combined with the statements of Wang Liqin and Liu Yuntian, we can probably draw the following conclusions:
1. Cao Yunjin's motivation is to ask the company's leaders for a salary increase together with other employees.
2. The chairman of Deyun Society knelt down to the employees at a critical moment, resulting in the collapse of the employees' "salary increase alliance" in an instant.
3. Cao Yunjin, who led the salary increase, fell into an embarrassing situation, scolded those colleagues who pit him, and threatened to leave.
To put it bluntly, there are originally two narrative ways for this matter:
Wang Liqin's narrative angle: Cao Yunjin made a big fuss about Guo Degang's birthday banquet, and the master knelt down with tears in his eyes.
Liu Yuntian's narrative angle: Deyun employees are ready to collectively bargain for wages at the boss's wine bureau, the chairman kneels down to relieve the siege, other colleagues admit it, and Cao Yunjin, the employee who led the salary bargaining, fell into an embarrassing situation.
So, who should we believe?
Let's take a look at another thing Wang Liqin said in the same book: "Crosstalk Romance" (that is, "The Legend of Dou Tianbao"), "County Elder Ye" and "Three Smiling Talents and Beautiful People" are several plays that they (He Yunwei and Cao Yunjin) participated in in the company.
"Crosstalk Romance" was sold to Tianjin TV and Hebei TV, confiscated the money, and could not give money to the shareholders. "County Elder Ye" settled the payment, and the fee was settled to everyone at that time. "Three Smiling Talents" has not been paid to this day.
They told many viewers that they would not give money to Deyun Society for acting, but in fact, the money had not arrived at all, and they knew that they had not yet arrived and said it everywhere to show their grievances.
This incident can also be confirmed in Cao Yunjin's long article, saying that he filmed "The Legend of Dou Tianbao" for three months in 2007 and did not give a penny. In 2009, he filmed "Three Smiling Talents" for two months, and he didn't give anything.
That is to say, Wang Liqin and Cao Yunjin verified each other in the fact that "Crosstalk Speech" and "Three Smiling Talents and Beauty" did not give Cao Yun money, and the two people with opposite positions said the same, which can basically be determined to be true.
Wang Liqin's theory is: Cao Yunjin did film, but the money who sold the film did not give Deyun Society, and the company naturally could not pay Cao Yunjin labor fees, since Deyun Society did not earn money, then Cao Yunjin has nothing to grievance.
In other words: you did two projects for the company in five months, the boss said that the project was lost, I didn't earn money as the boss, why do you want a salary for an employee?
So we can't help but ask, is this theory of Wang Liqin valid?
If you look at it from the perspective of the boss of the company, you may think that Guo Degang's brother-in-law has a point.
If you look at it from the employee's point of view, you have not received money for five months for the company, but the boss is on the rich list, in this case, will you choose to go to the boss's wine bureau to ask for salary?
So, in the Deyun Society's "Weiyang Palace" incident, who should we sympathize with?
Matter.
