Back in 1987, on an ordinary day, for Chen Hanbai, who came from a poor family, that day was not much different from the past. He still sticks to the bustling and noisy city overpass, enthusiastically interpreting the art of cross talk, and uses it to maintain a meager livelihood.
Although life troubles him, he has always had a passionate and sincere heart for the art of cross talk.
Just when Chen Hanbai was fully engaged in the cross talk performance, a middle-aged man in simple clothes quietly approached and seemed to have a strong interest in his performance. This person is Mr. Hou Yaowen, a budding cross talk master at that time.
Time flies, and now Hou Yaowen has become a leader in the cross talk industry, and has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala many times, and has created countless classic moments with many artists. However, at that time, he was still in the initial stage of his career, walking the world with a low-key and introverted attitude.
Despite the huge differences in social status and economic status between the two artists, Hou Yaowen was deeply attracted by Chen Hanbai's profound language skills and outstanding acting talents.
Chen Hanbai was obviously shocked by this sudden good news, and couldn't hide the excitement and joy in his heart. As an ordinary person who has lived in a poor family since he was a child and has experienced the hardships of life, he really can't believe that he would have such a lucky opportunity.
So, after a short period of excitement, Chen Hanbai nodded without hesitation and agreed to Hou Yaowen's invitation, gladly accepting the opportunity to become his apprentice.
In this way, a chance encounter completely changed the trajectory of Chen Hanbai's fate. From then on, he was no longer the poor scholar who lived on the street and made a living as an artist, but officially worshiped Hou Yaowen and became a disciple of this master.
Although the road ahead is full of unknowns, at least he has found a new way to make a living.
For Hou Yaowen, this move to accept apprentices seems ordinary, but in fact it contains profound meaning. As a generation of grandmasters, he has long gone beyond the era of valuing the background of his disciples, and is more concerned about the natural talents of his disciples.
Chen Hanbai is an outstanding talent with exquisite skills and unlimited potential, which is worthy of his best efforts to cultivate and support.
Since that day, Chen Hanbai has followed Hou Yaowen to study the art of cross talk and carefully polish his basic skills. Although the living environment has changed dramatically, the pure love for art has always burned in his heart like a fire and has never wavered in the slightest.
He will seize this important opportunity to turn the trajectory of his life around, and repay Master Hou's years of careful training with practical actions!
Despite his superior family conditions, Guo Degang did not have nothing to do like many rich boys, on the contrary, he was diligent and studious, and was full of a strong interest in art. Everyone agreed that in such an environment, Guo Degang will definitely be able to stand out smoothly and become a bright new star in the cross talk industry.
However, fate is sometimes full of unknowns and drama, and it plays an extremely cruel joke on Guo Degang. In 1988, Guo Degang found a stable job in an art troupe, and originally thought that he could live a comfortable life from now on. However, the good times were short-lived, and after only a year, the troupe's activities were terminated and he lost his job.
A notice of dismissal made Guo Degang's future confusing. He could only watch his once bustling homeland return to his hometown of Tianjin with a sad face. Fortunately, there is no endless road, where he met Mr. Yang Zhigang, a famous teacher in the cross talk industry, and worshiped under him to learn the art of cross talk.
Under the careful guidance of Mr. Yang Zhigang, Guo Degang's cross talk skills have become more and more exquisite, and he has rekindled hope for his future. However, just as he began to make a name for himself in the industry, a sudden change completely destroyed his confidence.
In order to fight for a world in Beijing, Guo Degang has set foot in the capital three times, but he has also returned from defeat three times, and the road ahead is becoming more and more confused.
When Guo Degang's fighting spirit gradually wore out, Hou Yaowen, a giant in the cross talk industry, once again extended a helping hand to him. In 2004, Hou Yaowen personally accepted Guo Degang as a disciple, giving him a valuable opportunity to gain a foothold in the capital.
In the face of all this, Guo Degang was deeply grateful, he admired Hou Yaowen's outstanding artistic achievements, and vowed to follow the steps of this master on the road of cross talk.
Despite experiencing countless setbacks and difficulties, Guo Degang never chose to give up. He always remembered the earnest teachings of Yang Lao and Hou Shi, and with a firm belief in art, he finally gained a firm foothold in the capital.
This tortuous and bumpy growth process has made Guo Degang more modest and low-key, and his heart has become stronger and more persistent.
However, Guo Degang's decision to choose Hou Yaowen as his teacher attracted strong dissatisfaction from his fellow brother Chen Hanbai. As Hou Yaowen's more senior apprentice, Chen Hanbai obviously couldn't accept the addition of this "newcomer" Guo Degang.
Chen Hanbai severely criticized Guo Degang's misconduct with the extremely offensive words "deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors". He believes that Guo Degang has worshiped Yang Zhigang as his teacher, but later betrayed his teacher and joined Houmen, which is undoubtedly a blasphemy of the traditional teacher inheritance system.
In the cross talk world, there is an unwritten rule - family ugliness cannot be publicized to the public. Even if there is a dispute between the brothers and sisters, it should be resolved internally, instead of being like Chen Hanbai, who disregards the situation and makes Guo Degang's "fault" public. His accusation of Guo Degang is tantamount to a resounding slap in the face of his junior brother in front of his own door, which has aroused questions from many audiences.
Since then, Chen Hanbai's reputation in the cross talk world has gradually declined. At the same time, Guo Degang's fame is in full swing, and he even fell into the whirlpool of "elegant and vulgar disputes" for a time. As a result, the trajectory of their lives has changed dramatically, and the gap is widening day by day.
Faced with the continuous decline in income and the number of fans, Chen Hanbai came up with a "magic trick" to try to save the situation. However, this so-called "magic trick" did not achieve the expected results, but exacerbated the contradiction between him and Guo Degang, causing his image and status in the industry to plummet.
From the initial dissatisfaction and accusation of the senior brother to the junior brother, to the final confrontation in court, they gradually evolved from the same senior brother to an incompatible enemy. It is a pity that the issues that could have been handled in a low-key manner within the division were misunderstood by Chen Hanbai as open confrontation.
In order to save the declining situation, Chen Hanbai adopted a "clever plan," that is, to look for his "godfather" everywhere! He first set his sights on Mr. Liu Wenheng, a master of cross talk.
Liu Wenheng is not only Chen Hanbai's uncle, but also from a cross talk family with a deep family background. If Chen Hanbai can worship him as his godfather, he will naturally get a lot of network resources, and he will be in the limelight for a while. However, the good times did not last long, and Mr. Liu Wenheng unfortunately passed away, and Chen Hanbai's "backer" collapsed instantly.
As a result, Chen Hanbai changed the court with lightning speed, and successively knelt down to worship Chang Guitian and Shi Fukuan, two seniors of virtue and art, as godfathers. Chang Guitian is the same brother of Mr. Hou Baolin, and Shi Fukuan is the golden partner of Mr. Hou, both of whom have had in-depth guidance and guidance on Chen Hanbai's artistic talent.
Chen Hanbai was naturally flattered to receive such an honor.
What is even more jaw-dropping is that Chen Hanbai went so far as to treat Guo Degang's mentor Yang Zhigang as a guest! Many years ago, he severely accused Guo Degang of "deceiving his teachers and destroying his ancestors," but now he has personally gone to "destroy his ancestors." This is really a big surprise and ridiculous.
After this incident, Chen Hanbai's "godfather road" is still continuing. He successively worshiped Shengjie and Guan Ziren as godfathers. The age gap between Shengjie and Chen Hanbai is only more than four years, and although Guan Ziren is low-key and unknown, his father Guan Dejun is a well-known master in the industry.
Obviously, Chen Hanbai's move is to use the Guan family's network resources to enhance his influence and reputation in the industry.
For a time, Chen Hanbai can be said to be a godfather everywhere. Some of the teachers he worshipped provided him with rich resources, some checked the art of cross talk for him, and some used their names to improve their popularity.
Chen Hanbai was overjoyed by this, and made a lot of nonsense to "retire and send the end of his life" for these teachers to repay the kindness of his acquaintance.
However, these ornate promises were soon torn apart by his own hands. In 2018, Chang Guitian passed away due to illness, and Chen Hanbai was indifferent to this, neither seeing him go to mourn, nor the slightest act of condolence.
On the contrary, on the same day, he was dressed in red and was busy shooting advertising in a different place.
In 2018, when the bad news of the death of Chang Guitianshi, one of Chen Hanbai's "godfathers", spread, the entire cross talk world was shocked and deeply saddened. Chang Lao's predecessors are not only Hou Yaowen's senior brothers, but also highly respected cross talk masters, Li Jindou, Hou Yaohua, Miao Fu and other peer masters have appeared to express their condolences and express their admiration and nostalgia for this predecessor in their own ways.
However, when it comes to Chen Hanbai, as Chang Guitian's "righteous son", he should witness and bid farewell to his master on his last journey with the sincere feelings of a son. However, what is very impressive is that when Master Chang Guitian's farewell ceremony was solemnly carried out, Chen Hanbai instead wore a bright and gorgeous red costume, traveled across the ocean, and urgently devoted himself to the shooting of a series of commercial advertisements.
When we saw Chen Hanbai smiling in front of the camera, who would have thought that there would be no fluctuations in his heart? This down-and-out scholar who had to perform in the streets and alleys in order to make a living has now been submerged by the torrent of fame and fortune and has lost his original pure love for art.
In the face of condemnation and doubts from all walks of life, Chen Hanbai chose to turn a blind eye and stay out of the matter. This kind of behavior of "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge" and "leaving after fishing" is really suffocating. He has lost his moral bottom line, betrayed the original intention of art, and only money and vanity are raging in his heart.
It is unimaginable that a person who once called Chang Guitian and other celebrities "godfathers" and swore that he would make such a shocking move. If Mr. Chang Guitian were still in the world, he would definitely be deeply distressed that he had cultivated such a "lazy apprentice" back then.
Life is unpredictable, and everything in the world has a cycle of cause and effect. Although Chen Hanbai now has a lot of money, one day he will pay a heavy price for what he has done. The boy who was once poor but had dreams has left him forever.
Looking back on the past, Chen Hanbai and Guo Degang were once Hou Yaowen's protégés together, refining their skills under the same teacher. However, the joke of fate is that it turned the original brothers against each other, and finally led the two in the opposite direction in life.
Today's Chen Hanbai is no longer the hot-blooded young man with dreams. His cross talk skills have stagnated, and the innocent love for art that he once had is gone. In its place, there is a twisted mind that is mercenary and greedy for fame and fortune.
In the cross talk world, Chen Hanbai's reputation has long been decayed, and there are few opportunities to perform. In order to make ends meet, he can only find a way out in commercial endorsements and variety shows, and his behavior can be called extremely risky, and the means are endless.
In the past, many times because of the endorsement of fake products, the majority of the audience detonated heated discussions and many complaints.
Looking at the fact that the disciple who respected the teacher and respected the Tao in the past ended up in such a situation, would Hou Yaowen feel the same way? As a generation of grandmasters, he must have too high expectations for Chen Hanbai.
However, unfortunately, this apprentice failed to carry forward and always stood still, and finally could only end in defeat.
On the contrary, Guo Degang's career is as prosperous as the rising sun. In the short years since he entered Houmen, he successfully gained a foothold in the capital with his outstanding artistic attainments and tenacity, and founded the Deyun Club cross talk club in 2005.
Since then, Guo Degang has gone all out to lead the disciples of the Deyun Club to forge ahead, despite encountering countless obstacles and doubts along the way. For example, he was once mired in the quagmire of "elegance and vulgarity", and he was also criticized for not being "elegant" enough, and was considered incompatible with traditional dramas.
However, it is with firm perseverance and persistent pursuit of art that Guo Degang was able to break through the layers of difficulties and gradually develop and expand Deyun Club to today's glorious scale.
Today's Deyun Club has undoubtedly become a leader in the domestic cross talk industry, with a wide fan base and a national reputation.
