June 18 is Father's Day, Deyun Society comedian Xie Jin posted a photo of himself and his son on Weibo, and wrote "Happy Father's Day to the world". In the photo, Xie Jin and his son are smiling brightly and very close. This photo also attracted many netizens to like and bless.
However, in the comment section, there is a special message that caught everyone's attention. This message came from Shang Xiaoju, a young comedian from Deyun Society, who wrote, "This is my grandfather and his father." As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately triggered onlookers and ridicule from netizens. Some people say "Shang Xiaoju, you are too funny", some people say "this life is too messy", and some people say "Is this a meme in the crosstalk world?" ”
So, why does Shang Xiaoju call Xie Jin grandpa? What's the story behind this?
Xie Jin's origin in the crosstalk industry
Xie Jin, whose real name is Xie Tianhong, is the seventh generation of crosstalk. His father Xie Tianshun is a fifth-generation "Bao" generation comedian, focusing on singing. Xie Tianshun has performed on the same stage with famous artists such as Ma Sanli and Hou Baolin, and is quite famous in the crosstalk industry.
Xie Jin has been interested in crosstalk since he was a child, and often studied and observed with his father. But since he did not learn from his teacher, there was no formal seniority. This is a very embarrassing thing in the crosstalk world, because generations determine who a crosstalk actor can perform on the same stage with, what kind of jokes can be said, and what kind of respect can be obtained.
In order to solve this problem, Xie Jin became the sixth generation of "Bao" characters in 1998 under the tutelage of the late famous Xiangshengren Wang Shichen. Wang Shichen is a disciple of Ma Sanli and the leader of the fifth generation of "Bao" characters. His crosstalk style is humorous and good at telling stories and telling jokes. Xie Jin learned a lot of crosstalk skills and essence from him.
Xie Jin has a big generation advantage in the crosstalk world because of his generation. According to the rules of the crosstalk world, actors who are lower than him must give him a salute and call him uncle or uncle. Even Guo Degang, the head of the Deyun Society, had to call him uncle.
Xie Jin has performed in Deyun Society since 2007, partnering with Li Hedong, Gao Gao and others, performing many classic traditional crosstalk and newly created jokes, which are deeply loved by the audience. His representative works include "Open Porridge Factory", "Learning the Deaf and Dumb", "Spit Lotus in the Mouth", "Fenhe Bay" and so on. He also participated in the TV series "The Legend of Dou Tianbao", "I Am a Great Detective", "Vasher Jianghu" and so on, showing his versatility.
Xie Jin and Shang Xiaoju's generational relationship in the crosstalk world
Shang Xiaoju, whose real name is Shang Zhennan, is the tenth generation of crosstalk. He is Yue Yunpeng's apprentice and Guo Degang's apprentice, and belongs to the "Xiao" generation. He entered Deyun Art Institute in 2009 to learn crosstalk performance, and officially studied with Yue Yunpeng in 2016. He and his partner Sun Zizhao are both actors of Deyun Second Team.
Because Xie Jin has a big generation, according to the rules of the crosstalk world, Guo Degang has to shout his uncle. Therefore, Xie Jin's son is the same generation as Guo Degang in the crosstalk industry, and he can also be regarded as Shang Xiaoju's master. That's why Shang Xiaoju would call Xie Jin grandpa.
Of course, this is just a joke and ridicule in the crosstalk world, not a real blood relationship. Xie Jin and Shang Xiaoju do not have any kinship, but such a meme was produced because of the rules of the crosstalk world.
Shang Xiaoju has liked to listen to crosstalk since she was a child, and admires Guo Degang, Yue Yunpeng and others very much. He began teaching himself crosstalk while in college and performing on campus. After graduating, he entered an advertising agency, but his love for crosstalk did not wane. He registered for the selection examination of Deyun Society through the Internet and was successfully selected. He received systematic training and training in Deyun Society, and gradually grew into an excellent comedian.
Shang Xiaoju is good at rapping, with a lively and flexible performance style, humorous and witty language, and is good at interacting with the audience. His representative works include "Five Poisons", "Learn to Dance", "Crooked Singing", "Temple of the Heavenly King" and so on. He also participated in variety shows such as "Sing It Boy" and "It's Nice to Laugh", showing his multi-faceted talent.
Xie Jin and Shang Xiaoju humorously interact on stage and in the comment area
Although Xie Jin and Shang Xiaoju have a complicated generational relationship, they do not have estrangement and hostility because of this, but often interact funny on the stage and in the comment area, bringing joy to the audience.
On stage, Xie Jin and Shang Xiaoju had several opportunities to perform on the same stage. They are all actors of the Deyun Society, so they will perform crosstalk with other actors on some special occasions, such as celebrations, special sessions, parties, etc. On these occasions, they will use their generational connections to create some jokes and baggage.
For example, in the second session of the 2022 Deyun Society Gengzi Year Sealing Celebration, Xie Jin and Shang Xiaoju performed crosstalk "Sing It's a Boy" with other actors. This is a crosstalk with a singing theme, and each actor has to sing a song, and he has to comment and complain in a crosstalk way. Xie Jin sang a song "I Love You China", and Shang Xiaoju sang a song "I Love Your Grandpa". In the review session, Shang Xiaoju said: "I want to use this song to express my love for my grandfather, he sings so well. Xie Jin responded: "Your grandson is too unfilial, how can you sing such an ugly song to me?" The conversation between them elicited laughter from the audience.
In addition, in the 2021 Deyun Society Yue Yunpeng Enjoy Yue Ten-Year Crosstalk Special Beijing Station, Xie Jin and Shang Xiaoju also performed on the same stage once. They performed crosstalk "Horse Jacket", which is a crosstalk that tells the story of the rules and inheritance of generations in the crosstalk world. In this crosstalk, Xie Jin played a veteran comedian, and Shang Xiaoju played a rookie comedian. There are a lot of interesting dialogues and conflicts between them, showing the funny harmony of the crosstalk world.
For example, at the beginning, Shang Xiaoju asked Xie Jin: "Hello uncle, may I ask which master's disciple?" Xie Jin replied, "I am a disciple of Master Wang Shichen. Shang Xiaoju then asked, "Then which master's apprentice are you?" Xie Jin said, "I am a disciple of Master Wang Shichen. Shang Xiaoju said, "Then which master's apprentice are you?" Xie Jin said: "I have no apprentices. Shang Xiaoju said, "Then which master's great-grandson are you?" Sheikin said, "I don't have a great-grandson. Shang Xiaoju said, "Then which master's apprentice's grandson are you?" Sheikin said, "You shut up for me!" The conversation between them elicited laughter from the audience.
In the comment area, Xie Jin and Shang Xiaoju also often interact with humor. They will leave messages under each other's Weibo or videos, using some memes or generational relationships in the crosstalk industry to ridicule each other.
Another time, Shang Xiaoju posted a photo of herself and Master Yue Yunpeng playing basketball on Weibo, and wrote "Playing with Master". Xie Jin replied in the comment area: "You two grandsons, don't practice crosstalk well, what kind of ball do you run to play?" Shang Xiaoju replied, "Grandpa, don't be angry, let's go practice crosstalk after playing." Xie Jin replied again: "You two grandsons, don't practice crosstalk well, what mobile phone do you run to play?" Shang Xiaoju replied, "Grandpa, don't be angry, let's go to practice crosstalk after playing with our mobile phones." The conversation between them elicited laughter and likes from netizens.
