Cross talk is one of the traditional folk arts culture in mainland China, and people of all ages love to listen to cross talk nowadays.
However, have you ever heard "foreigners" talk about cross talk?
Although I am a foreigner, I am by no means an outsider.
He is the "foreigner" cross talk actor Dashan who has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala several times.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the name of Dashan was known to everyone in China, from the aunt who went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and down to the children who went to elementary school.
In the past, the advertisements for the "learning machine" of Haojixing were broadcast on TV in turn, which was endorsed by Dashan, and at that time, as long as you turned on the TV, you could see Dashan's face.
Even the cross talk master Hou Baolin recognized his cross talk talent very much, and the quyi master Jiang Kun directly took Dashan into his door, and Dashan also became the first "foreigner cross talk actor" in the history of the cross talk industry.
However, Dashan was at the peak of his career in the mainland, but Feng Gong's words made him leave China and return to Canada "in disgrace".
The original foreigner Dashan brought countless joys to the national audience, and the sudden departure of Dashan also caused people to have different opinions.
So what did Feng Gong say to Dashan at the beginning? Time has passed, what is the real status of Dashan now?
"Open the door of Magnolia, I am the mountain"
On the stage of CCTV's New Year's Day party, Dashan said, "Yulan opens the door, I am Dashan".
The achievement is a classic work of the era, and it makes the audience laugh as soon as it opens its mouth, leaving a very deep impression on people.
At that time, it was not how high the quality of the sketch was, but when it came to the show, a foreigner suddenly appeared on the stage and surprised the audience, and then the foreigner actually spoke fluent Mandarin and performed with emotion, and this sense of contrast instantly made people refreshed.
In particular, Dashan also wore a military coat and a big cotton hat, which was a very normal outfit for Chinese people at that time, but it looked very "funny" on this foreigner's body, and he was full of laughter when he came on the field.
The previous Dashan's real name was called: Mark Rothwell, and after this sketch, he became popular overnight, and the name Dashan also came from this sketch.
Apprenticeship with Jiang Kun to learn "learn cross talk"
After becoming famous, Dashan is naturally "popular", and many directors and producers want to invite Dashan to star in movies.
But Dashan was unmoved and refused one by one, at this moment Dashan fell in love with the art of cross talk in the mainland, at the New Year's Day party, after he saw Jiang Kun's performance, he had an idea in his heart that he wanted to learn cross talk from Jiang Kun.
When Dashan first found Jiang Kun to express his desire to learn from a teacher, he was directly rejected by Jiang Kun, first, it is too difficult for foreigners to learn cross talk, and second, there has never been a precedent of accepting "foreign apprentices" in the cross talk world.
But this did not make Dashan give up the dream of cross talk, Dashan really likes cross talk, after talking with Jiang Kun many times, Jiang Kun also discovered Dashan's talent, not only can he speak Chinese well, but also this kind of self-joy appearance on his body is something that others can't imitate.
After the continuous efforts of Dashan, he successfully apprenticed to Jiang Kunmen and officially became the first "foreigner" cross talk actor.
Since then, Dashan has been diligently following his master Jiang Kun to learn cross talk.
Ascend to the Spring Festival Gala
At the 1990 New Year's Day party, Jiang Kun and Tang Jiezhong's old partners joined hands with Dashan for the first time to perform the cross talk "Famous Teacher and High Apprentice" to the people of the whole country.
After that, Dashan's popularity soared, and even surpassed his master Jiang Kun.
In 98, he appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, and his partners Pan Changjiang and Heimei performed the sketch "A Stamp", which was once again popular with audiences across the country!
In 99, Dashan once again stood on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and performed a play "Joy and Joy", at that time, as long as there was a Dashan program, it must be "laughing constantly", so Dashan also won "one of the most powerful foreigners in 20 years".
Marry a Chinese girl
After becoming famous, Dashan has become very well-known in China, and Dashan has also gained his own love at the peak of his career.
Once, when Dashan was performing in the Northeast, he stayed in a hotel to rest, and at this time, a Chongqing girl named Gan Lin quietly walked into the life of Dashan.
Gan Lin is an employee of the hotel, mainly responsible for entertaining star artists, after a long period of contact, Gan Lin's lively and free personality, so that Dashan has a very good impression of her.
Over time, Dashan gradually became obsessed with Ganlin, so he boldly expressed his love to Ganlin, and Dashan's humor also captured the heart of the goddess, and the two soon walked towards the marriage hall.
Soon after, Gan Lin and Dashan also harvested the "crystallization" of love.
With a thriving career and a happy family, Dashan is now completely an authentic "Chinese" in people's eyes.
Feng Gong let Dashan leave China in one sentence
Everything is going in a good direction, but the reality is bad.
At that time, Dashan was already a household name, and fans followed him almost everywhere he went, and Dashan's children were often disturbed by this kind of disturbance at school.
And because of his appearance, he was often cast strange eyes by his classmates, and naughty classmates would shout "dolls", which once made the children of Dashan very inferior.
Out of protection for his children, Dashan sent his wife and children to live in Canada, while he remained in China.
Dashan's operation of sending his wife and children to China also caught him in "controversy".
Many people think that Dashan Dashan makes money in China, but his family is in Canada and he doesn't really love China.
At this time, Dashan was very confused and didn't know how to deal with it.
At this time, Feng Gong suddenly stood up and "woke up the dreamer with a word".
He said to Dashan: "Have you forgotten what you came to China for in the first place?, you must learn to step out of your comfort zone and find your original intention."
At this moment, Dashan seemed to "suddenly wake up", he carefully thought about the dream when he came to China, he came to study with admiration for Chinese culture, but now he is running around all day for money, fame and fortune.
So Dashan made an astonishing decision to quit the cross talk world and leave China to return to his hometown Canada.
Although Dashan is gone, looking back, Dashan was inextricably linked to China.
His grandfather was a doctor, and during World War II, when his grandfather came to China, he not only saved the lives of many people in that war-torn era, but also settled in China ever since.
Since he was a child, he has been listening to his father tell his grandfather's stories in China, which has also made him curious about Chinese culture, and he is secretly determined to visit China in the future.
After that, Dashan began to practice Chinese hard, and the courses he took in college were all Chinese culture.
In 1988, Peking University and the University of Toronto conducted a "friendly exchange" and sent exchange students to study.
Dashan, who had excellent grades, officially came to his dream China as an exchange student.
After that, I fell in love with China completely.
How is it now that the mountains of Canada are returning?
After Dashan returned to Canada, he always remembered Feng Gong's "allocation" to him back then to find his original intention.
Today, during his time in Canada, Dashan often promoted the traditional culture of the mainland to college students, and his efforts were also duly rewarded, and he was personally appointed by the Prime Minister of Canada as the title of "Canada-China Goodwill Ambassador".
Nowadays, Dashan often posts his own videos on social platforms, and has also launched a self-created "talk show" "Dashan Kan Dashan".
Countless netizens have left messages, missing the "big mountain" who once wore a military coat......
