In the late 80s and early 90s of the 20th century, there was a pair of dazzling golden partners in the Chinese cross talk industry - Niu Qun and Feng Gong. These two names are like two sides of the same coin, closely connected and leave a deep impression on the hearts of the audience.
Niu Qun, a young man born in a cross talk family, has had an enviable sense of humor since he was a child. There was often a sly glint in his eyes, and a seemingly absent smile hung on the corner of his mouth, as if he could say a hilarious burden at any time.
With his unique style of humor and superb acting skills, Feng Gong and his partner Feng Gong have created a remarkable chemistry that will make the audience laugh every time they see their partner perform.
In 1988, the rise of the herd's career was interrupted by sad news – his mother had died. This blow is undoubtedly heavy for the young herd. At this difficult moment, his partner Feng Gong was by his side with a sincere friendship that transcended the stage and gave him silent support.
At the funeral, Feng Gong also helped carry the coffin, thus expressing his concern for the herd.
After the funeral, Feng Gong patted the cow herd on the shoulder and said in a firm tone: "Brother Niu, cheer up, we have to continue." This simple but deep sentence contains their deep feelings and expectations for the future.
The cows nodded with red eyes, and a warm current of emotion for them to get through the tribulation together swelled in their hearts, making their relationship more intimate.
In the following days, the tacit understanding between the herd and Feng Gong became higher and higher. They are like fish in water on the stage and have created many popular cross talk works. The audience said that as long as they saw Niu Qun and Feng Gong on stage together, they would definitely be able to enjoy a passionate performance.
However, who would have thought that this tacit partner would end up on a very different life path? A turning point of fate is quietly coming, and the life of the herd is about to usher in a major turning point.
In 2000, there was an explosive news in the cross talk world, and the cow herd announced its withdrawal from the cross talk world! The news came so suddenly that many people couldn't believe it. At that time, Niu Qun was at the peak of his career, and his partner with Feng Gong was very well-known, and they were known as "the gold of the cross talk world", and there was no reason to choose to quit.
After the news spread, there was a lot of discussion and speculation. Some say that it is because of the conflict with Feng Gong, some say that the cow herd is tired of the environment in the cross talk world, and some people speculate that it may be to pursue a new career development.
However, only the herd knows best what the truth is.
In the days that followed, the herd seemed to disappear into the world, and there was no news. He never appeared on stage again, and there was very little news about him in the media. This once beautiful cross talk actor faded out of the public eye in a low-key manner.
At the same time, his old partner Feng Gong continued to shine in the cross talk industry, not only becoming a frequent guest of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, well-known throughout the country, but even serving as the vice chairman of Deyun Club.
These two very different circumstances are in stark contrast.
The sudden departure of the herd left the audience and industry insiders feeling regretful and puzzled. Some people think that Niu Qun is a talented actor, but it is a pity to give up what he is good at.
But there are also those who believe that the herd may want to pursue a wider stage of life.
In 2009, many years after the herd "disappeared", it was discovered that Jiang Kun, one of the "Happy Three Musketeers" and a famous cross talk actor, mentioned the herd in an interview. Jiang Kun mentioned: "I haven't been in touch with him, but I heard that he is making movies and directing. "The news gives a glimpse into what is happening to the herd, but it's still full of mystery.
People will ask where did the herd go? Does he regret his choice? What might his future hold? These questions may not have clear answers for a long time, and the "disappearance" of the herd has become a mystery in the cross talk world.
However, it turns out that the herd, which has "disappeared", did not really disappear, but chose to take a little-known path. This road will lead him to open a new chapter in his life, and he will also stand in the spotlight again with a new identity.
In fact, the herd did not really "disappear", he simply chose a new path unknown to the unknown. After leaving the cross talk stage, Niu Qun began his own transformation path - he decided to become a director.
This decision is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the herd, from the front of the stage to behind the scenes, from amusing the audience to directing the actors, requiring completely different skills and ways of thinking.
The herd devotes itself to learning with extraordinary perseverance. He spent an extremely long time learning the art of photography, starting with the most basic photography knowledge and gaining experience step by step. Niu Qun once laughed at himself and said, "I'm like a schoolboy who carries a schoolbag to study every day." "This cross talk actor who used to be free on the stage, but now he has to learn a new field from scratch, how much courage and determination does it take!
Although the herd encountered difficulties in the process of learning, sometimes they were frustrated because of the difficulty of understanding the technical terms, and sometimes they doubted themselves because of the unsatisfactory shooting results.
But whenever he encounters this situation, he will remember his original intention of choosing this path in the first place, and then grit his teeth and persevere.
Eventually, the herd's efforts paid off. He began to work on smaller films, starting as an assistant director and gaining experience. While these works may not be as eye-catching as his performance on the cross talk stage, every attempt is a valuable learning opportunity for the herd.
With the passage of time, Niu Qun has established a solid position in the field of directing, and began to independently direct some films, TV series and other film and television works that have been praised by everyone.
Although these works may not be big productions, they contain the hard work and wisdom of Niu Herd, and in the process, Niu Qun gradually developed his own unique directing style and began to enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes with working behind the scenes.
Niu Qun said in an interview: "I prefer to observe life behind the scenes and then present it in the form of a video rather than performing on stage." This sentence reflects his love and devotion to his new cause.
Although Niu Qun's cross talk works may not be as famous as those of his former partner Feng Gong, he has been interpreting the value of life in his own unique way. Although he is not a frequent visitor to box office champions, his directorial works have won high recognition from industry insiders.
Even though the road to transformation has been bumpy, the herd has successfully found its place in the new field and shown its value with firm will and unremitting efforts.
He used his own experience to tell us that there is no fixed pattern in life, as long as you have the courage to try, you can always find your own way.
While actively seeking to transform their careers, the herd has not neglected to give back to the community. He actively participates in various charity activities and contributes to those in need in his own way.
This commitment to social responsibility fully demonstrates the kindness of the herd and the respect for life.
In particular, the herd has started a school for children who are unable to go to school. In the process of starting this school, the herd put in a lot of time and effort.
Although the school is small, the herd has put a lot of effort into it, and even when the funds are insufficient, the herd chooses to sell part of its property to support the school's operation.
In this school, the cows often communicate with the students cordially, sharing their life experiences and insights. He told the children, "No matter what kind of family you come from, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be successful."
These words are undoubtedly the best interpretation of his personal experience, from cross talk actor to director, to founding a school, Niu Qun's life experience has given these children great encouragement.
Through philanthropy and education, Niu Qun has found another way to realize the value of life, although he is no longer amusing the audience on the cross talk stage, he is still influencing others in his own way and spreading positive energy.
This kind of obscure dedication is more dazzling than his light on the cross talk stage.
The behavior of the herd not only shows his sense of responsibility to the society, but also shows his inner softness and care for life. During the transition of his career, he found another way to realize his self-worth, which was undoubtedly a great reward in his life journey.
The journey of transformation is fraught with hardships. In the process of transforming their careers, the herd has also experienced the ups and downs of life. For him, who was once full of glory, this period was undoubtedly a big challenge.
The herd of cattle who used to call for wind and rain on the cross talk stage, his economic situation was once in trouble due to the unsmooth work. However, even in the most difficult times, he did not choose to return to the cross talk stage.
He firmly told the public that "since I have chosen this path, I will go to the end", this firm determination shows the resilience of the herd and the dedication to the new cause.
In the process, the herd was supported by his family, especially his wife. His wife fully understood and supported his choice, and she never complained, even in the most financially strapped times.
This silent support has become an important motivation for the herd to persevere.
The tempering of life has made Niu Qun's personality more introverted and calm, and he is no longer the bombastic cross talk actor, but has become more thoughtful. This change has also subtly influenced his directing style, making his works more life-heavy.
Niu Herd once said in an interview: "I actually know a lot, including my own current situation. But I don't regret it. This sentence clearly shows his persistence in his choices and his open-minded attitude towards the ups and downs of life.
Despite all the difficulties faced by the herd, he never gave up on his dream. He proved with practical actions that as long as he sticks to his choice, he will definitely be able to find his own world.
This indomitable spirit is undoubtedly the most valuable legacy he left us.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the herd has disappeared from our sight for 23 years. In the past 23 years, his old partner Feng Gong has become the vice chairman of Deyun Club and is still active on the cross talk stage.
And the herd is fully committed to the career of director and producer.
Although Niu Qun's works are not as well-known as Feng Gong's cross talk, he has been interpreting the value of life in his own way. Although his director's work is not necessarily a box office winner, it has received unanimous praise from industry insiders.
Now that the herd is used to working behind the scenes, he says: "I prefer to observe life and then present those observations in the form of images rather than performing on stage. This quote not only shows his love for his new career, but also reflects his unique perspective as a director.
In addition to his film career, Niu Qun has always adhered to his philanthropic endeavors. The school he founded is still in operation today, providing educational opportunities for more children in disadvantaged areas. This kind of obscure dedication may be more dazzling than his brilliance on the cross talk stage.
In the past 23 years, the trajectory of Niu Qun's life has changed a lot, but his love and pursuit of art has remained the same. He proved with personal experience that there is no fixed pattern in life, as long as you have the courage to try, you can always find your own path to success.
It turns out that this herd, which has been "gone" for 23 years, has not really disappeared, but has chosen another diversified path full of challenges and opportunities, which does not have the brilliance of the stage, but is no less wonderful and deserves our respect.
