Founded in 1995 by Mr. Guo Degang, a famous Chinese cross talk master, Deyun Club has always shouldered the important task of inheriting and carrying forward the art of cross talk. Zhang Yunlei, who has had a great love for quyi since he was a child, devoted himself to the art of cross talk as early as the age of 11 and worshiped Guo Degang, and resolutely embarked on his academic journey of cross talk.
As one of the earliest disciples of Master Guo Degang, Zhang Yunlei was deeply anticipated by Master and carefully nurtured by Master with his extraordinary talent and steadfast and diligent spirit.
Guo Degang has high hopes for this talented and hard-working disciple, and regards him as the pillar of the revival of Deyun Society in the future. Unfortunately, under the strict guidance of his master, the young and promising Zhang Yunlei became more and more sophisticated, and at the age of 12, he was able to confidently appear on the stage and win warm applause from the audience.
However, what is unexpected is that now this proud protégé of Guo Degang, who has high hopes, has serious artistic and moral problems at the peak of his career, and gradually deviates from his own job of cross talk, and instead pursues commercial interests, and even holds a solo concert with tickets as high as 680 yuan.
This move has undoubtedly aroused widespread doubts and controversies from all walks of life, and also revealed the negligence and dereliction of duty in the management of Deyun Club.
When a generation of grandmaster Guo Degang teaches such an apprentice, he must have mixed feelings in his heart. He once had high hopes for Zhang Yunlei and regarded him as his successor, but he never foresaw today's "revenge".
For the art of cross talk, Zhang Yunlei has had a strong interest and love since he was a child. This stems from the influence of his cousin Wang Hui, an outstanding Peking Opera drum artist. Whenever his cousin performed on stage, the young Zhang Yunlei would always implore her to take her to the scene to observe.
In the process of observing again and again, Zhang Yunlei was deeply attracted by the unique charm of the actors' half-speaking and half-singing, as well as the shocking power when hitting the big drum. As a result, his love for Chinese opera became deeper, and he even imitated the actors' performance movements on the spot and hummed along with a clear eye.
This pure enthusiasm for art finally bore fruit when Zhang Yunlei was 11 years old. Under the recommendation of his cousin Wang Hui, he officially entered Guo Degang's door and began his cross talk art journey.
As one of Mr. Guo Degang's earliest disciples, Zhang Yunlei has been highly anticipated and carefully cultivated by him. In order to be able to supervise Zhang Yunlei's skill cultivation more closely, Mr. Guo Degang specially arranged for him to live in his comfortable and warm family house.
Every moment of daily life, the master's deep love is deeply imprinted in Zhang Yunlei's heart, so that he has an incomparable admiration for Guo Degang, under the teaching of "strict teachers produce high apprentices", Zhang Yunlei with perseverance and diligent spirit, quickly emerged among the disciples, showed outstanding talent and extraordinary strength, won the warm love and heartfelt praise of the audience.
In April 2024, Zhang Yunlei, the elder brother of Deyun Club's "cloud" character, posted a news on major social media platforms that attracted widespread attention and heated discussions - he will hold a solo concert in the historic city of Nanjing on May 9.
Just a few words, paired with an official promotional poster with great visual impact, made the majority of netizens express their doubts.
A cross talk actor is going to hold a solo concert? And Zhang Yunlei's ticket price is even more jaw-dropping, with the lowest ticket price as high as 680 yuan. An artist who has not yet had too many masterpieces dared to hold such a large-scale concert in the bustling city of Nanjing, which really makes people marvel at his courage and courage.
However, in stark contrast to Zhang Yunlei's bold move, cross talk actor Cao Yunjin, who was once forced to leave his division. He has always adhered to the live broadcast platform, presenting the wonderful performances of traditional cross talk for the majority of netizens for free, and presenting the audience with original cross talk performances for several hours, attracting more than 100,000 online views.
In today's social context of pursuing fame and fortune, Mr. Guo Degang has to make some adjustments and attempts for the prosperity of Deyun Club. He carefully planned to let his apprentices such as Yue Yunpeng star in TV series and sing songs, so as to expand his popularity.
However, we have to admit that they have come to see cross talk as their side hustle.
Zhang Yunlei's decision to announce a solo concert undoubtedly made the fact that Deyun Club only wanted to make money and ignored the cross talk industry, which caused widespread doubts and controversies.
For a while, criticism on the Internet came one after another.
In 2016, a very charming cross talk special came to a successful conclusion in warm applause, however, at this moment, a sudden accident came. At that time, Zhang Yunlei, who was standing straight on the stage and bidding farewell to the audience with an affectionate face, was about to leave, but unfortunately fell from a height of four floors.
Faced with this situation, the on-site staff did not hesitate to take immediate action and quickly sent Zhang Yunlei, who was covered in blood, to the hospital for rescue. In the hospital, after a careful examination by doctors, it was finally confirmed that Zhang Yunlei had suffered serious injuries from multiple fractures.
The severity of the illness shocked everyone present. Whether Zhang Yunlei can save his life has become a worrying question.
The news quickly reached Guo Degang's ears. As Zhang Yunlei's master, after learning the bad news, Guo Degang immediately put down all the affairs in his hand and hurried to the hospital, hoping to check on his disciple's injuries in person.
When he saw Zhang Yunlei, who was covered in bandages and scarred, his heart was filled with endless pain and sadness.
At this life-and-death moment, Guo Degang did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately took out three million yuan, begging the doctor to do his best to save Zhang Yunlei at all costs.
Zhang Yunlei, who was lying on the hospital bed, saw the arrival of the master, and his tears could not stop flowing, and he choked up and asked, "Master, can I still return to the stage?" I am really afraid that I will never be able to recover my health again.
Guo Degang held back the grief in his heart and comforted: "Don't worry, kid, no matter what difficulties you encounter, even if you can't walk normally like before in the future, I will definitely let you stand on the stage again! As your master, I will do my best to protect you."
After a difficult recovery period, Zhang Yunlei finally returned to the stage. This time, he showed unprecedented strength and charisma, and his career also climbed to a peak.
In order to recover his physical condition as soon as possible, Zhang Yunlei firmly underwent many large and small surgeries and successfully removed several steel nails in his body. The improvement of his physical condition gave him the confidence to try and innovate.
He skillfully incorporated modern musical elements into the traditional folk song "Exploring the Clear Water River", and adopted a new way of performing it, injecting new vitality into this ancient song.
Zhang Yunlei's innovative move immediately attracted a wave of applause and heartfelt praise from the audience when it made its first public appearance. This "pigtail brother" with super good looks, after that thrilling time, returned to the stage with a new and extraordinary image, only to see that he exudes a strong atmosphere of elegance and elegance, and instantly won the crazy love and pursuit of many young female fans.
At that stage, as long as Deyun Club had a performance by Zhang Yunlei, a shining star, the scene would be crowded and full, and every performance could reach the level of fullness.
Seeing that his beloved apprentice was so high-profile, Guo Degang couldn't help but feel extremely proud of him, and praised Zhang Yunlei as "Deyun Club finally has a successor".
However, just as Zhang Yunlei was gaining fame and fortune, his mentality quietly underwent some subtle changes. With the rapid increase in popularity, his awe of cross talk performances seems to have gradually disappeared during the performance.
In order to cater to the taste of the audience, in order to win more applause and applause, he even did not hesitate to break through the bottom line and frequently made some inappropriate words and actions on stage.
Soon after, some of Zhang Yunlei's inappropriate remarks in the past were exposed on the Internet and quickly fermented. As a cross talk actor with a large number of female fans, his remarks undoubtedly seriously violated the bottom line of morality and ethics, and aroused strong condemnation from many official authoritative media, including the People's Daily.
These media made it clear that Zhang Yunlei's behavior has seriously violated basic ethics and codes of conduct, and Deyun Club, as his subordinate unit, should have strictly reviewed the content of the actors' programs, but failed to fulfill its responsibilities and obligations.
As a traditional art form with a long history in our country, cross talk is by no means a place where you can talk nonsense, laugh and have fun at will.
In the face of strong public pressure from the government, Zhang Yunlei had no choice but to issue a public apology statement on social platforms, promising to deeply reflect on his own problems. In order to calm down this turmoil as soon as possible, Deyun Club also issued an urgent statement, announcing that it would suspend all Zhang Yunlei's performing arts activities.
However, just three days later, Zhang Yunlei posted the latest photos of participating in the performance of Deyun Club on social platforms, and this inconsistent style of words and deeds made his public image fall to the bottom in an instant, and it was difficult to gain a long-term foothold in the cross talk industry.
