Cao Yunjin's current situation is worrying
Time flies, and in the flick of a finger, Cao Yunjin has left Deyun Club for 12 years. As Guo Degang's valued "darling" and chief disciple in the past, he now lives a cold life.
In February 2021, he participated in a commercial performance.
Cao Yunjin's eyes couldn't help but cast his eyes on the dark audience, only to see a few spectators sparsely seated, this scene made him speechless. Looking around the stage, the underground stage where he stood was damp and dark, with cobwebs everywhere, and it was conceivable that no one had cared about it for a long time.
He also tried to re-attack on the online live broadcast platform, but was repeatedly abused and personally attacked by netizens, and finally had no choice but to close the live broadcast room. Even his occasional cooking blog has been disparaged as "poor cooking".
This "darling", who was once highly valued by Guo Degang, is now in such a shabby and lonely situation. Did he ever regret his decision to leave Deyun Club in the first place?
He has pursued the art of cross talk all his life
Recalling Guo Degang's past, his long journey from the age of 15 to the road of cross talk is destined to take a bumpy road. As a native of Tianjin, he bravely made three expeditions to Beijing, the first two of which ended in failure.
In 1994, when he was still a poor boy wandering around, he relied on the recommendation of a friend to meet Yan Yunda's father, who was already famous, and got the opportunity to enter the industry, and he was grateful.
That year, Guo Degang experienced the life experience of "ice and fire". Coldly, his wife divorced him, which made him financially miserable; On the hot side, the birth of his son Guo Qilin gave him great joy.
Although his family was in difficulty, he resolutely entrusted his son to his parents and focused on his career development.
In 1998, he co-founded the "Beijing Cross Talk Conference" with Zhang Wenshun and Li Jing, which marked his official embarkation on the road of protecting and carrying forward the art of cross talk.
Guo Degang recalled that life was very difficult during that period, and it was not even as good as a stray dog. But his dedication and persistence in the cross talk career finally allowed him to survive the most difficult years in his life.
Highly acclaimed for its craftsmanship
In the first few years of Deyun Club, Guo Degang regarded Cao Yunjin as the pearl of his palm, and taught him what he had learned meticulously. In 2001, Cao Yunjin worshipped Guo Degang as his teacher, and in the following year, he had made some achievements.
Guo Degang has extremely high expectations for this apprentice, and always repeatedly mentions Cao Yunjin's name during each performance, hoping to take this opportunity to vigorously promote Cao Yunjin's popularity.
Cao Yunjin did not live up to his master's high hopes and love. He learned from Deyun Club through an art, and his skills were even evaluated as "better than blue".
Looking back on his performances during the Deyun Club, all of them showed their skills and were fascinating, which amazed the audience. deservedly, he is the "darling" in Guo Degang's eyes.
In 2006, the 10th anniversary celebration of Deyun Club, Cao Yunjin and his apprentice Liu Yuntian's joint performance achieved remarkable results. On December 6 of the same year, Cao Yunjin also successfully held his first special performance, showing his strength and talent.
A year later, in 2007, he held three solo performances in a row, which can be described as continuous praise and recognition.
After that, Guo Degang gradually realized that Cao Yunjin had begun to take charge of himself, so he reduced the pressure and requirements on him, and personally praised him. Cao Yunjin, Liu Yuntian, He Yunwei, and Li Jing are known as the "Deyun Four Youths" and have become the backbone of the new generation of Deyun Club.
Deyun Club was profited and broke with Master
Just when Cao Yunjin's career was a little successful, a turmoil between master and apprentice finally broke out. In 2010, at Guo Degang's birthday party, Cao Yunjin publicly accused Deyun Club of being shrouded in commercialization, and Guo Degang had lost his right to speak and make decisions about the troupe.
He laughed at himself angrily and said that although he supported half of the Deyun Society, he only got a fixed salary, and he was deprived of the due share of benefits by the master.
For a time, the contradiction between the master and apprentice was openly opposed, and a break was inevitable.
In the face of his disciples' public rebellion, although Guo Degang suffered a blow, he still habitually mentioned Cao Yunjin's name during the performance, but he couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment on stage.
Looking at the familiar faces in the audience, he felt all kinds of feelings in his heart. This master-apprentice relationship has long been irreplaceable.
This turmoil is undoubtedly the fuse for Cao Yunjin to completely leave Deyun Club in the future.
After a short period of glory, the establishment of "Tingyunxuan" fell into a trough
After the 2010 birthday party turmoil, the contradiction between Cao Yunjin and Guo Degang was irreconcilable. In 2016, Guo Degang finally made up his mind and ruthlessly deleted Cao Yunjin's name from the "Deyun Club Family Tree", which caused a public opinion controversy.
In the face of public opinion, Cao Yunjin did not flinch, but chose the strategy of "using black and red to hype himself". He frantically accepted various advertising endorsements, participated in the filming of film and television dramas, and earned a considerable fortune through his "alternative" methods.
After leaving Deyun Club, Cao Yunjin joined hands with his former brother Liu Yuntian to co-founded his own "Tingyunxuan" cross talk team. At the beginning, "Tingyunxuan" was in the limelight, the performance venue was grand and luxurious, and fans flocked to it.
But this glory lasted only two short years. Soon, the market appeal of "Tingyunxuan" quickly declined, and it closed its doors one after another, and the performance venue was reduced from the original grand theater to the dark and damp basement of the shopping mall.
In February 2021, Cao Yunjin participated in a commercial performance. Take the stage and ask the audience, "Do you have any impressions of me?" But in exchange for an indifferent "no impression" answer.
Looking at the dark and empty auditorium, Cao Yunjin was speechless, and suddenly realized that he had ended the curtain in anger.
He also tried to make a comeback on the online live broadcast platform, but was repeatedly abused and personally attacked by netizens. Even the cooking video he posted was commented as "poor cooking".
In the end, Cao Yunjin had no choice but to close the live broadcast room and quit the track.
What's even more shocking is the divorce of Cao Yunjin and his wife Tang Yun. The two were newly married Yan'er, and their daughter broke up when she was born.
Cao Yunjin made a rude decision, threw out a breakup fee of five million, and said to Tang Yun flatly: "Take this money and go, let's pay half of the child's support."
