Preamble:
Dear readers and friends, do you still remember Feng Gong's classic opening sentence: "Dear audience friends, I want to kill you!" This sentence has accompanied the growth of countless people and witnessed the inheritance and development of Chinese cross talk. Today, let's look back at the six disciples of Master Feng Gong and see how they have gradually grown into outstanding representatives of today's entertainment industry under Feng Gong's careful cultivation.
The author writes this article from public information and does not represent my position, if you have any questions, please contact to delete.
1. Jia Ling, the smiling "Queen of Comedy".
If there is anyone who is Feng Gong's most proud disciple, it must be Jia Ling. She is a piece of jade discovered by Feng Gong, and it shines brightly under his careful carving.
Jia Ling was born in Hubei and has a lively and cheerful personality since she was a child. When I was in junior high school, I participated in campus literary and artistic activities, and often performed sketches to make my classmates laugh, which was deeply loved by teachers. She could have been a teacher in peace, but her inner acting dream prompted her to choose a rough path.
After graduating from university, Jia Ling came to Beijing to develop, but the road to acting was far from smooth. There are no connections, and all kinds of opportunities pass by her. The waiting and disappointment day after day made Jia Ling almost choose to give up, and her heart was full of confusion for a while.
At this moment, Feng Gong appeared. He seemed to have discovered Puyu and volunteered to polish Jia Ling into a shining pearl. Feng Gong not only personally instructed Jia Ling in her acting skills, but also took her to various performances to provide her with more opportunities to practice.
At first, Jia Ling's performance was jerky and restrained, and she was often nervous because of the audience's cold reaction. Feng Gong did not give up on her, but patiently and repeatedly analyzed and discussed with her how to put the effect of humor into action. He pointed out that Jia Ling's biggest advantage is her natural humor, and she should give full play to this advantage. As a result, Jia Ling began to adjust her performance style and add more vivid and interesting language and movements. Gradually, she found a way to perform that suited her and successfully attracted the attention of the audience.
In 2011, Jia Ling appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and partnered with Bai Kainan to perform the sketch "Open Sesame". Her vivid and witty performance won the love of the audience and officially opened the door to a broader stage.
Since then, Jia Ling has become a well-known comedian, with a dazzling smile on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Every time she thinks of Teacher Feng Gong's careful guidance in the past, Jia Ling will shed tears of gratitude. If Feng Gong hadn't discovered and cultivated her, she wouldn't have achieved so much today.
Since 2018, he has been a regular guest of "Ace vs. Ace". Bring more laughter to your audience.
In 2021, the self-written and directed film "Hello, Li Huanying" became the highest-grossing female director in the world. With this film, he was nominated for Best Screenwriter, Best Director, and Best Actress at the 36th Popular Hundred Flowers Awards.
Today's Jia Ling has already grown into an excellent comedian and director. But she always has a humble and cautious heart, and faces every new challenge with a positive, cheerful and optimistic attitude. This is also the most precious gift of life that Teacher Feng Gong taught her.
2. The transformation from host to comedian - Song Ning
Speaking of Song Ning, I believe everyone must remember that she used to be a well-known host of CCTV. Unexpectedly, she later gave up her stable job and chose to step into the comedy stage and become Feng Gong's proud disciple. What kind of preparation and determination did this change go through?
Song Ning is lively by nature and has dreamed of being an actor since he was a child. But her parents felt that being an actor was unstable and insisted that she choose the path of host. Although Song Ning obeyed his parents' expectations, he never gave up his dream of acting. The job of a CCTV host is just a profession for her, and it does not bring her inner happiness and enthusiasm.
In 2002, Feng Gong came to Beijing on a tour, and Song Ning bought a ticket to see the performance. That night, she saw Teacher Feng Gong and his apprentices shine on the stage, and the performance was vivid, humorous, and infectious, and her heart was extremely shocked. She knew that this was the stage she dreamed of, so she mustered up the courage to step forward and begged Feng Gong to take her as an apprentice.
Teacher Feng Gong appreciated Song Ning's courage and determination and promised to give her a chance. But he also told Song Ning that it would be an extremely difficult road that would require great effort. Song Ning resolutely chose to give up his stable hosting job and officially became Feng Gong's disciple.
At the beginning, Song Ning was often so nervous on stage that he couldn't speak. Feng Gong encouraged her to observe more interesting things in life, communicate more with others, and feel the joy of life. Under his careful guidance, Song Ning gradually found a performance style that suited him and successfully embarked on the road of comedy. She has cooperated with Teacher Feng Gong many times and won the title of "Goddess of Cross Talk". She has also performed on the same stage with Bai Kainan and Jia Ling, and is known as the "Three Treasures of the Feng Family". Today's Song Ning has already become a new star on the comedy stage, all thanks to the discovery and cultivation of Mr. Feng Gong.
3. The talented son who inherited the family business - He Jun
Speaking of He Jun, he can be described as a natural beauty. His father is a close friend of Mr. Feng Gong, and the two families have been in contact since childhood. He Jun has shown extraordinary acting talent since he was a child, and often performs cross talk jokes in front of relatives and friends, winning applause from everyone. Feng Gong saw that he was brilliant and had solid cross talk skills, and he admired him very much, so he officially accepted him as an apprentice in 1999 to teach him the art of mastery.
He Jun has great respect and admiration for his teacher Feng Gong, and often sticks to Feng Gong like a little heel and listens to him explain his cross talk acting skills. He is a strong learner and will soon be able to recite the passages taught to him by his teacher and perform them vividly on stage.
Feng Gong saw that he already had the ability to perform on stage, so he gave him the opportunity to make his debut in the Spring Festival Gala of 2003. A popular sketch "Speaking of Advertising" made He Jun famous overnight, and this work was awarded the third prize in the music category of my favorite Spring Festival Gala program. Since then, he has started his glorious road on the cross talk stage.
In the following years, He Jun and Mr. Feng Gong collaborated on many performances, and the tacit understanding between the two became stronger and stronger. He Jun continues to learn from his teacher's true biography and enrich his performance methods. He is particularly interested in the use of language, and is good at creating jokes through exaggeration and puns. Viewers watch his show more and more like his humor and witty responses.
In 2013, he was invited to serve as the host of CCTV-7 "Beautiful China Countryside". In 2016, the starring comedy "Silly Project" was released. In 2018, the single "China New Era" was released.
In recent years, He Jun has gradually turned to the field of film and television. He starred in the film "Extreme Earthquake Zone", which was widely acclaimed, showing his super strength in theatrical performance. From the cross talk stage to the screen, He Jun has successfully achieved cross-border transformation.
Today, he has already grown into an influential star in the entertainment industry. In public, He Jun did not forget to thank Mr. Feng Gong for his careful cultivation. It is precisely with the guidance of this teacher for many years that He Jun has been created today.
Fourth, the talented performer - Bai Kenan
Bai Kainan is another extremely talented disciple of Feng Gong, known as the Prince of Cool Comedy. He has loved acting since he was a child, and often choreographs his own skits to make his relatives laugh out loud without much effort. Feng Gong discovered this little performance seedling, so he accepted him as a disciple and trained him carefully.
At first, Bai Kainan's performance was not very mature and stable, sometimes making the audience laugh, and sometimes it didn't get any response. Feng Gong is very patient and often discusses with him how to grasp the atmosphere of the stage and the psychology of the audience. Under his guidance, Kenan gradually mastered the art of stage performance and successfully performed many popular works.
Especially in the sketch "Big Talk" with Jia Ling, the two cooperated seamlessly, making the audience leaning forward and back. This also made him famous in the music industry in one fell swoop, from a small unknown to the stage of the night of the explosion.
However, the good times did not last long, and after a few years of success, Bai Kenan gradually revealed some uncontrollable personal style.
In 2015, Bai Kenan joined "Operation Mocha" as a comedian. In 2016, he starred in the sci-fi comedy movie "Thunderbolt Reappearance" and so on.
He aspired to transform from the cross talk industry to the film and television industry, but at the beginning of his entry, he fell into the whirlpool of public opinion because of plagiarizing other people's works.
Teacher Feng Gong did not give up on him in the master-apprentice relationship, but pulled him back again and carefully instructed him how to correct his bad style and start again. After this incident, Bai Kainan has learned a lot and corrected his previous behavior that was too publicized and lacked restraint. He chose to retire for the time being, and when the opportunity is ripe in the future, he will go out again to challenge a broader stage.
Fifth, the self-taught ventriloquist master - Cao Suifeng
Cao Suifeng (formerly known as Cao Zhifeng), unlike other disciples, was a self-taught ventriloquist discovered by Feng Gong. Cao Suifeng has had a strong desire to imitate since he was a child, and often practices the imitation of various sounds in front of the mirror by himself. In high school, he rose to fame by relying on his self-taught ventriloquist skills to stand out in a talent show.
In 2007, Feng Gong brought this self-taught ventriloquist star under his door. Cao Suifeng had great respect for his teacher, and often followed Feng Gong and listened to him explain his acting skills. He will also carefully observe Feng Gong's every move, and strive to absorb the essence of the master's performance.
Under the careful guidance of Feng Gong, Cao Suifeng's ventriloquist methods became more and more abundant, and his stage performance was also enhanced day by day. He began to appear in more programs, and collaborated with Mr. Feng Gong to perform many wonderful works. Whether it is words or body movements, Cao Suifeng can bring out his sense of humor and rhythm to the fullest.
In 2014, the Spring Festival Gala partners Feng Gong and Jiang Shimeng performed the sketch "I'm Such a Person". In 2015, he participated in the movie "Fighting the Landlord" as Wang Da Mao. In 2019, he starred in the costume detective comedy movie "Seven Detectives".
Today's Cao Suifeng has grown into a new generation of ventriloquist stars, and he inherits and carries forward the performance tradition of Mr. Feng Gong. In an interview with the media, Cao Suifeng did not hesitate to express his gratitude to Feng Gong. He said that his achievements today are inseparable from the discovery and careful cultivation of his teachers. Cao Suifeng looks forward to the day when he can also cultivate his own disciples and pass on this teacher-student friendship.
Sixth, Jia Ling's disciple who followed silently - Pan Binlong
Speaking of Pan Binlong, he can be described as a low-key disciple in Feng Gong's big family. He is Jia Ling's junior brother, and he has shown a very high talent for cross talk since he was a child. Because his father is a soldier, Pan Binlong has lived in the barracks since he was a child and is often in contact with cross talk performances. This laid a good foundation for him to step onto the stage in the future.
In 2008, under the recommendation of Jia Ling, Pan Binlong appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and partnered with his sister to perform the stunning four-seat sketch "Bus Concerto". In order to highlight the comedic effect, he even boldly staged a "women's fashion show", which successfully amused the audience. Pan Binlong's brilliant performance also made him famous overnight, and he was regarded as the most potential newcomer in the industry.
However, he was not arrogant about momentary success. Unlike other disciples, Pan Binlong chose to develop in a low-key manner and only focused on practicing his internal skills. He continued to learn from the older generation of comedians such as Feng Gong and Jia Ling, absorbing the essence of their performances.
After years of indifference, Pan Binlong successfully transformed in 2018 with his outstanding performance in the movie "The Nameless" and won the Best Supporting Actor award at the International Film Festival in one fell swoop. This film opened the door to the film and television industry for him, and he began to appear frequently in various film and television works.
In 2021, the anti-epidemic movie "No Spring Will Not Come" starring Pan Binlong will be launched in Wuhan. In 2022, the movie "You Are My Spring" will be released.
However, Pan Binlong has maintained a peaceful and humble mentality, and just wants to move forward step by step.
For Mr. Feng Gong's kindness, Pan Binlong is grateful. It was Feng Gong who discovered and cultivated a group of outstanding disciples such as Jia Ling, so that he could also learn and grow in such a good environment. Pan Binlong looks forward to one day, he can also cultivate his own disciples and inherit the teachings of the poet teacher.
Epilogue:
Mr. Feng Gong has discovered and cultivated many outstanding disciples throughout his life, and all of them have gradually grown into leaders in today's art circle under the careful guidance of his teachers. As proud members of the Feng Gong family, they not only inherit and carry forward the essence of their teacher's performance, but also create outstanding achievements on the road of acting in their own ways.
What is even more rare is that although they have achieved fame, these disciples are grateful for the kindness of their teacher. They are humble and unobtrusive, not arrogant or impatient, and face every new challenge with a positive and enterprising attitude. This is exactly what the teacher Feng Gong has taught imperceptibly over the years. Let's look forward to the fact that these outstanding disciples will create more wonderful works for China's comedy and performing arts in the future!
