Once upon a time, the cross talk duo of Mr. Qizhi and Mr. Dabing was invincible, and their names have always been closely associated with "brilliant" and "pinnacle" and other awards, and they have been followed by many cross talk fans like crazy. However, time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and we who have stepped into 2024 today look back on the fate of the pair again, and can't help but sigh at the changes in the world and the vicissitudes of life.
Back then, they were like a dark horse, becoming famous in one fell swoop and quickly becoming a household name among the star partners. At the Spring Festival Gala in 1999, they won the warm applause of the national audience with their exquisite skills and outstanding work "White Food", and their career is in full swing and the future is bright. However, just as their careers were at their peak, they had to make the jaw-dropping decision in 2003 to part ways due to growing differences and contradictions in their artistic philosophies.
Since then, Mr. Kishi and Mr. Bing have embarked on different life journeys, and their life trajectories have gradually drifted away. One of them was a staunch defender of his faith and had a great reputation; And the other fell into a trough and was almost forgotten by the world. This pair of partners who used to fight side by side and share a common destiny are now in very different situations, which is really embarrassing.
On the road of development after the breakup, Mr. Bing can be said to have fallen into a long trough. Once, with his outstanding acting talent and witty and humorous words, he became a household name as a star cross talk actor. However, the good times are always short-lived, and in 2009, his inadvertent remarks about the late singer Huang Jiaju in a TV show caused strong public dissatisfaction, and a large number of fans demanded a public apology, but he ignored it and finally gave up. This undoubtedly had a huge negative impact on his image.
What's even more funny is that in 2016, a video of Mr. Bing speaking ill of the traffic police spread wildly on the Internet, instantly becoming the focus of online public opinion attacks. Although he would issue public apologies from time to time, these actions had already doomed him to not go further on this path, and his popularity plummeted, and in the end he could only be regarded as "passing by the eye".
Completely different from the fate of the GI, another partner who shows a strong contrast is Qizhi. Although his popularity is not as brilliant as before, he still enjoys an excellent reputation in the field of art, and has won a high reputation in the industry at home and abroad for his extraordinary artistic attainments and unique innovative thinking, becoming a leader in the cross talk industry.
What is especially commendable is that in addition to his outstanding performance in the field of art, Qizhi also has a wide range of talents, actively devoting himself to public welfare, serving as a cross talk judge, starring in TV dramas, etc., and has a rich and diverse life.
He often goes deep into poor areas to give speeches, is keen on public welfare, and makes good connections, and is highly praised by all walks of life. It is no exaggeration to say that in comparison, Qizhi is undoubtedly a better and more comprehensive member of the group after the breakup.
In 1995, in the long road of groping forward, Qizhi and the soldiers reunited like the arrangement of fate. Faced with this rare opportunity, the two artists resolutely decided to work together to work their careers.
In the beginning, they were running from venue to venue on a beat-up motorcycle, and the rain or the scorching summer heat could not stop them.
Despite the harsh environment, his love for art has always been unwavering. For each performance, they gave their full attention, using their exquisite skills and humorous words to give the audience a round of applause.
It is through hard work and unremitting efforts that they have gradually emerged in the Hunan region. A large number of loyal cross talk lovers are deeply attracted and become their solid supporters.
Those popular masterpieces, such as "Upstairs and Downstairs", "Trial Thief", "Happy Funeral", etc., have won them countless praises.
Lady Luck finally favored, and in 1999, Qizhi and Dabing successfully entered the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala with their wonderful work "White Food". When this work full of humor and ingenuity was presented in front of the audience, it immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the national audience.
As a result, Qizhi and Dabing became household names overnight, and their careers reached unprecedented peaks.
Since then, the theater has been applauded wildly and the audience cheered enthusiastically, praising their chemistry and superb acting skills. Invitations to various events poured in, and their names twinkled like stars, with a bright future ahead of them.
Unexpectedly, in that dazzling year of 2001, a dispute that should have been avoided turned out to be the fuse for the breakdown of the relationship between Qizhi and the soldiers.
At that time, Qizhi devoted himself to the creation of the comedy short drama "Cure for a Cold", but the soldier was not interested in it and insisted on creating a new and unique work with Qizhi.
This was originally just an ordinary creative discussion, but because of the difference between the two sides' views, it gradually intensified, and it evolved into a fierce quarrel, even to the point of blushing and thickening the neck.
Eventually, the GI left in a rage and even gave up the night's performance.
The guests at the scene were all shocked by the scene of the once close partner about to break up. Qizhi could only go on stage alone, and he could no longer find his former demeanor, and the whole stage instantly fell into an awkward silence.
In fact, this is only the surface of the problem, and the deeper reason lies in the huge difference in the artistic concepts of the two men. Qizhi adheres to the traditional art style of cross talk, while Dabing actively explores new fashion trends and pursues cutting-edge innovation.
This completely different concept makes it difficult for them to reach a consensus on the path of art.
Although they tried to work together again, their differences were too serious to really resolve the conflict.
The breakup was a foregone conclusion, so in 2003, the former comrades-in-arms officially parted ways, Qizhi and Xu Wen formed a new partner, and Da Bing chose to join forces with Zhao Weiguo.
Since then, the former Infernal comrades-in-arms have gradually drifted apart, and Qizhi and the soldiers have each embarked on a new journey in life, composing their own artistic chapters.
The story begins in 1984. That year, on a sunny day, Qizhi and his partner were nervously rehearsing cross talk in the park, making the final sprint for the upcoming national competition.
Just as they were fully engaged in the performance, they suddenly noticed a thin but slender figure in the distance staring at the place, which turned out to be a 14-year-old GI.
The soldier's clothes are simple, only wearing a loose and comfortable school uniform, but his gaze is always firm, like a needle firmly nailed to the two protagonists' steps.
Qi Zhi has a unique vision, discovers the potential of the GI, and decides to take him as an apprentice and teach him everything.
For many days in a row, the GI followed closely behind Qizhi like a shadow, and finally on a quiet night, he mustered up the courage to walk in front of Qizhi and sincerely expressed his love for the art of cross talk. At first, Qizhi didn't take this young man to heart, but when he saw the innocence and persistence flashing in the soldier's eyes, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Despite his young age and ragged clothes, the GI showed an innate talent. Qizhi knew that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet such a talented young man, so he accepted the GI without hesitation, and since then he has been teaching him the knowledge and skills of cross talk wholeheartedly.
Since then, every weekend, the GI will appear at Qizhi's home on time, tirelessly learning the art of cross talk, and the relationship between master and apprentice has gradually deepened over time.
Looking back on the life course of Qizhi and the soldier, it is really impressive. They used to fight side by side and had a challenging time together, but in the end they chose their own paths because of differences in perception.
If they hadn't been separated, would they have been able to maintain that glorious achievement? The answer may not be certain. After all, it is difficult for artists to avoid the conflict of ideas, and forcibly tying them together will only lead to greater contradictions and harm.
In addition, the times are constantly evolving, and new people are emerging one after another, and it is undoubtedly a luxury to want to prosper for a long time.
Therefore, the most important thing for artists is to stay true to their original intentions and stay focused. Even if we are in a difficult situation, we must have a pure heart and persevere in order to usher in the dawn of rejuvenation.
Only in this way will the bright spring come again.
