1. The magnificent waves of his artistic career, recalling the glory of the sun-like era
He never thought that in that legendary and exciting 80s, Jiang Kun had already reached the peak of his acting career. As if wearing a smiling slash cardigan, standing on the stage with a faint playful expression, the colorful applause and cheerful laughter from the audience broke out instantly.
His energetic and laugh-inducing performance style is like a fresh spring breeze, which makes the audience laugh and applaud.
The nickname "Little Shenyang" is undoubtedly the most appropriate description of Jiang Kun's wonderful performance on stage. He showed outstanding cross talk talent, studying under the giants of the cross talk industry, such as Hou Baolin and Guo Qiru, and exuded a unique light on the stage.
In 1984, Jiang Kun won the top three in the "Top Ten Laughing Stars" selection held by CCTV, which is undoubtedly the highest praise for his artistic attainments.
However, who would have expected that the once proud and respected cross talk master would only receive an annual salary of more than 20 yuan in the Quyi Troupe of his workplace? For Jiang Kun, the salary clearly does not match his achievements.
He inevitably felt a little anxious in his heart. As a performing artist who takes pleasure in art, it is incomprehensible to be able to earn such a small income.
Although his life is simple and unpretentious, Jiang Kun's love and dedication to the art of cross talk have never been reduced by half. In this way, he silently walked on the road of art, using his unique style to bring joy to the audience, and at the same time climbed to the peak of his career.
However, the next development has plunged the cross talk master into a huge property dispute.
Second, the family wealth has caused controversy, what is the truth?
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is 2013. This year, a group of photos spread wildly on the Internet, causing an uproar in public opinion. The photo shows that Jiang Kun owns a luxury house in Beijing with an area of more than 300 square meters and a value of nearly 100 million yuan.
The interior of this large house is luxuriously decorated, and the architectural style blends Chinese and Western elements, showing a luxurious style. A large bed made of sandalwood, paintings and calligraphy by famous artists, and mahogany furniture are dotted to make it feel like a private museum.
What's even more striking is that, according to people familiar with the matter, the quyi master also has a large private museum in Suzhou. Some people joked that the one collected by Jiang Kun alone was worth tens of millions of yuan.
In the face of the flood of doubts, Mr. Jiang Kun did not respond immediately, and seemed to choose to remain silent. However, this series of photographs of luxury residences is like a pebble that stirs up a thousand waves, causing the public to deeply doubt and suspect the secrets behind their wealth.
Suddenly, the mystery of Mr. Jiang Kun's family's billions of net worth has become the center of heated discussions, and as for how he accumulated such a huge wealth, there are even more different opinions, and they are becoming more and more intense.
Some people pointed the finger directly at the grievances and entanglements between him and Guo Degang, which made this problem even more confusing. 3. Uncover the mystery and express your own opinions
The source of Mr. Jiang Kun's family's huge wealth has instantly become a hot topic after dinner. Regarding the old artist's billionaire net worth, all kinds of speculation and suspicion have come one after another.
Soon after, people turned their attention to the grievances and hatreds between Jiang Kun and Guo Degang. The relationship between the two cross talk masters can be described as "rivals", and since the 80s of the last century, the contradictions and differences between them have become increasingly intensified.
At that time, Guo Degang, as a representative of the reformers, tried to break the shackles of traditional cross talk and innovate, while Jiang Kun always adhered to the traditional line, representing the power of conservatives, and the two had already had many frictions on the cross talk stage.
In recent years, Guo Degang's Deyun Club has become the most influential group in the cross talk industry. In contrast, Mr. Jiang Kun's career development is relatively bland, and some of the cross talk variety shows he hosted have failed to attract widespread attention.
However, there are also those who argue that Mr. Jiang's way of acquiring his wealth is entirely legal and reasonable: for example, through normal income from artistic performances, numerous commercial endorsements, and art transactions.
After all, as a senior senior in the circle, his value in the business field should not be underestimated. In fact, as early as March 2023, some netizens exposed photos of Mr. Jiang Kun and the well-known host Zhou Qun having lunch at a luxury hotel in Hangzhou, which undoubtedly hints that they may have some kind of business cooperation.
All kinds of speculations make the mystery of Mr. Jiang Kun's family property more and more confusing, as if layers of fog are shrouded in it. However, in order to truly unravel this mystery, I am afraid that it is necessary to wait for Mr. Jiang Kun himself to respond and explain, and only in this way can the doubts and suspicions of the outside world be dissipated.
Fourth, there are many turmoil in the circle.
The mystery about Jiang Kun's family wealth has undoubtedly sparked heated discussions in all walks of life, and it has even stirred up turbulent waves within the cross talk industry! As industry insiders, they have a lot of in-depth understanding of the life experience and network of this highly respected artist, and people naturally have various opinions and speculations about the ins and outs of Jiang Kun's family property.
A practitioner in the cross talk industry gave an in-depth analysis of this: "Although Jiang Kun is a bright star of the older generation, it is not easy to accumulate such a huge wealth. It is obviously difficult to achieve this staggering figure with only his meagre remuneration for performances and some of the proceeds from commercial activities.
There is no doubt that there must be a lot of hidden income hidden in it that we are not yet aware of! After all, he has been in this circle for decades, and his network resources can be described as extremely rich" The actor implicitly hinted that Jiang Kun was very likely to receive "funding" from some wealthy people in exchange for some special services or favors, "Many rich people are keen to buy artists' works, and they think that in front of well-known artists, they have become big bosses, so they are willing to invest a lot of money in these celebrities."
However, there are also Jiang Kun's old friends who have expressed deep doubts about such speculation. "I've known him for decades and I know his character inside out. He would never do anything shady or shady.
The old friend said firmly, "However, working hard in the literary circle, it is inevitable that you will come into contact with some wealthy people and carry out some 'drilling' behaviors such as yin-yang contracts, but I believe that he is not fostered or involved in crimes."
The two diametrically opposed views reflect various speculations within the cross talk industry about the origin of Jiang Kun's family property. Some people firmly believe that there are some hidden and shady ways to make profits, and there are also those who insist that this upright "old Northeastern" will never do anything that is immoral.
All kinds of speculation have made the internal dark tide of the cross talk world surge, and people are panicked, and it seems that a big drama of "master and apprentice against each other" is about to be staged.
Fifth, the artistic concept escorts and adheres to it
In the midst of all kinds of speculation in the outside world and the circle, Jiang Kun himself has always remained silent. Now that he is in his old age, he may just hope to use the little influence left in the circle to escort the artistic concept he has adhered to for many years.
Since the beginning of the 80s of the 20th century, Jiang Kun has always led the development of cross talk art as an old-fashioned artist, and resolutely defended the traditional position. However, his old partner Guo Degang is the leader of the new era, and there are significant differences in their artistic concepts.
Time flies, and the Deyun Club led by Guo Degang has risen and become a leader in the cross talk industry, and Jiang Kun's influence has gradually declined.
However, when the news of Jiang Kun's mansion was made public, it immediately triggered people's memories of the fierce competition between the two camps. Some people speculate that this may be a "secret battle" launched by Deyun Club against Jiang Kun, trying to overthrow this artist who adheres to tradition, and then completely subvert traditional cross talk.
However, Deyun Club did not give a clear response to this.
Others firmly believe that the Jiang Kun mansion incident is actually a "challenge" he sent to Deyun Club, aiming to regain the dominant position in the cross talk industry. The two diametrically opposed points of view are revealing the mystery of Jiang Kun's source of wealth, as well as a deeper insider.
It seems that a wonderful drama of "master-apprentice break" is about to be staged.
However, more people believe that as an artist entering his old age, Jiang Kun just hopes to use his last trace of influence in the industry to escort the artistic concept that he has adhered to for decades.
For him, this is undoubtedly a "self-comfort".
6. Cherish gifts and understand tolerance
However, no matter where Jiang Kun's huge fortune comes from, as a veteran figure in the cross talk industry, his outstanding achievements and great contributions in the field of art cannot be ignored. His life is almost closely linked to the art of cross talk, sharing honor and disgrace.
When it comes to Jiang Kun, many post-80s and post-90s generations will involuntarily give a thumbs up to express their high respect for this old artist. For a long time, he was one of the most popular celebrities, active on stage and on the TV screen, bringing endless joy to the audience with his unique comedy performances.
In 1984, Jiang Kun ranked among the top three in the "Top Ten Laughing Stars" selection activity held by CCTV, which can be called the highest praise for his artistic attainments. At that time, the annual salary he received in the quyi troupe was only more than 200,000 yuan, which was in strong contrast to his personal achievements.
However, even in a simple and simple living environment, Jiang Kun's unswerving enthusiasm and dedication to the art of cross talk have never changed! It is precisely because of this tenacious spiritual perseverance that he finally climbed to the peak of his life and became a cross talk master who was deeply branded by the times.
Therefore, no matter how many people from all walks of life question the origin of Jiang Kun's family's huge wealth, we should give this respected old artist full understanding and forgiveness, rather than just dwelling on his financial interests.
Jiang Kun has written a glorious chapter of traditional art with his life, which is the value we should cherish and give back the most.
Compared with money, Jiang Kun's firm belief and selfless dedication to traditional art are more worthy of our respect and cherishment. As the last outstanding representative of the contemporary cross talk industry, he defended the dignity of art and called for the concept of art at the cost of his own life.
We should look at the old artist's "helplessness" with an open and inclusive attitude, rather than making unnecessary accusations or suspicions.
