The popular cross talk actor Guo Degang once had a "bosom friend".
This bosom friend is Li Jing.
Before 2003, Li Jing and Guo Degang were two dazzling new stars in the cross talk circle.
Li Jing has a very high talent for cross talk, and at the age of 7, she can imitate the jokes of the older generation of cross talk actors vividly. Liang Houmin discovered Li Jing's super talent and accepted him as a disciple, and later Li Jing apprenticed to Shengjie.
Guo Degang is also a rising star in the cross talk industry, he worships Hou Yaowen as his teacher, and has studied the basic skills for many years.
Although the two have different teachers, they happen to become brothers in the same school due to fate. What's even more unexpected is that the two have become a match made in heaven. Every time they perform on the same stage, Li Jing and Guo Degang's cooperation is so seamless, as if they were born friends.
The audience applauded their performance and called them "golden partners".
At that time, Li Jing and Guo Degang were pinned on by many people, believing that they would become the figures who led the Chinese cross talk industry to glory. However, their fates eventually drifted apart after parting ways.
The former bosom friend is now as light as an unknown life. In 2003, Guo Degang made an important decision - to change the name of the Beijing cross talk conference that he had operated for many years to "Deyun Club".
Behind this decision, there is a key figure joining - Zhang Wenshun. Zhang Wenshun has a soft spot for the art of cross talk, and has abundant financial support for Guo Degang.
With Zhang Wenshun's encouragement, Guo Degang finally made up his mind to upgrade the Beijing Cross Talk Conference to a higher-standard team - Deyun Club.
The birth of Deyun Club also means that a collective dream has officially set sail. Guo Degang asked Li Jing to join, and Li Jing thought about it again and again, but still accepted this wonderful team plan.
At first, the development of Deyun Club was very difficult, and there were many people. But everyone was not discouraged, but united and worked together for their dreams. Guo Degang led the team to go out on tour to open up popularity, and Li Jing sat in the Beijing team, a two-pronged approach.
After seven years of hard work, Deyun Club finally emerged in 2010 and became famous in one fell swoop.
Once upon a time, Deyun Club was just Guo Degang's unambitious dream. Today, it has become a bright pearl in the cross talk world. This hard-won victory is the result of a collective joint effort.
They have experienced wind and rain together and welcomed the spring flowers together. On the development path of Deyun Club, Guo Degang and Li Jing gradually drifted apart.
The disagreement between the two stems from their different views on the business philosophy of Deyun Club. Guo Degang firmly believes that commercial operation is the king, and only by making enough money can Deyun Club grow; Li Jing believes that Deyun Club needs to focus on the creation of works and talent training, which is fundamental.
In 2010, after Deyun Club finally succeeded in getting out of the circle, the conflict between the two intensified. Li Jing saw that Guo Degang was expanding rapidly for business expansion and Deyun Club was expanding rapidly, and she couldn't help but worry about whether a successful art group was deviating from its original intention and only existed for money and territory.
He wanted to discuss openly and honestly with Guo Degang many times, but Guo Degang had a stubborn personality and never accepted other people's opinions.
Gradually, Li Jing became disillusioned with Guo Degang's leadership style. Once a disciple of Deyun Club made a mistake and beat someone, Guo Degang's handling made Li Jing completely desperate for him - this team has deviated from the responsibility of an artist.
Seeing that the concept was difficult to reconcile, Li Jing chose to leave. The moment she left Deyun Club, Li Jing's heart was very complicated. He is reluctant to work together as a team, and he also understands that his dream cannot be realized here.
The seeds of parting have been quietly planted, and he and Guo Degang seem destined to part ways.
After Li Jing left Deyun Club, Guo Degang forcibly pushed an agreement of "10-year deed of sale" in order to retain other disciples, which caused dissatisfaction within Deyun Club.
Among them, Cao Yunjin, the most powerful disciple, communicated with Guo Degang many times about the unreasonableness of this contract, but Guo Degang ignored it, and later even expelled Cao Yunjin.
Cao Yunjin couldn't bear it anymore. At a birthday party for Guo Degang, Cao Yunjin suddenly appeared, questioned Guo Degang's actions repeatedly in front of everyone, and left angrily. Guo Degang's face was ugly, and the atmosphere was embarrassed and speechless for a while.
Li Jing silently watched this sudden plot, he seemed to have foreseen that this was the inevitable result of the intensification of the internal contradictions in Deyun Club after he left. This seemingly successful team is actually like a dangerous building, which can collapse at any time.
It has become a time bomb planted by Deyun Club itself.
Li Jing also persuaded Guo Degang, but unfortunately Guo Degang did not follow his advice, which led to today's situation. Li Jing couldn't help but sigh that she left decisively, maybe it was the right choice.
After leaving Deyun Club, Li Jing joined the Beijing Quyi Troupe and cooperated with his former Deyun Club colleague He Yunwei again.
However, the two soon disagreed on their ideas. In an interview, He Yunwei criticized Guo Degang's "master" as just "paying", and Li Jing disagreed with his negative feelings.
In the actual cooperation, Li Jing hopes to promote the art of cross talk through her works, but He Yunwei's purpose is only money and fame.
Once, Li Jing asked He Yunwei to discuss the creation of cross talk works, but the other party responded perfunctorily and absent-mindedly. Only then did Li Jing realize that what the two were pursuing was originally the opposite.
Maybe from the beginning, Li Jing shouldn't have cooperated with He Yunwei. Their philosophies in the art of cross talk are so different that they are destined to tear apart if they try to twist into a rope.
In the end, Li Jing and He Yunwei could only develop separately, ending this doomed unsustainable cooperation.
On the road of life, there are always some people who are just passers-by who have worked together for a period of time, not confidants who can walk side by side. People who don't agree with each other, even if they barely survive, can't go too far.
Li Jing and He Yunwei may also be the same. After leaving Deyun Club, Li Jing did not choose to turn her face with Guo Degang, but silently insisted on her own cross talk path.
He did not join the ranks of smearing Guo Degang, but just cultivated his own land, and continued to cultivate and harvest in the fields of film and television, film, etc. Li Jing's works have been frequently successful, and they have gradually won the recognition and love of the audience.
In the interview, Li Jing bluntly said that he and Guo Degang could not reconcile in personality and could not get back together. This is a gap that cannot be bridged, a reality that must be accepted.
In fact, there is no need for Li Jing to look back and bring up the past again. The road he is taking now is the cross talk life he dreams of. Even though there were many thorns along the way, he never gave up on his dream.
The road of life will not always be smooth sailing. Frustrations and difficulties may have abounded, but Li Jing never flinched. It takes a lot of courage for him to choose to assert himself and chase the light of his heart.
Maybe Guo Degang's path is broader and brighter, but that doesn't mean that Li Jing's life path is wrong. Everyone has their own rhythm and style, and the important thing is to move forward with confidence and passion.
Li Jing's road is difficult, but he has no regrets. Because this is his Li Jing's life, the cross talk road he wants to adhere to.
