In 2018, Li Hongye and his wife publicly called Guo Degang on the stage of "Cross Talk with Newcomers", and the confidence is the so-called "formula cross talk".
He believes that traditional cross talk is either an old joke or an Internet joke, and if it continues like this, it will "end" sooner or later, but his "formula cross talk" has the ability to turn the tide and save the cross talk industry.
Some people say that he is "neurotic", but he said that everyone is drunk and I am sober, and he is determined to hold the Spring Festival Gala for 20 consecutive years.
Now, six years later, has he done it? Is the so-called "formula cross talk" really more popular than traditional cross talk?
Is it a genius? Or a self-proclaimed genius?
In 1986, Li Hongye was born in Tianjin, and in the hearts of almost everyone, the city of Tianjin is the "cross talk capital", and almost all Tianjin people are "cross talk masters".
Li Hongye, who grew up in such an environment, also has a certain talent for cross talk. In addition, his father is a teacher at Tianjin University, so he has no material troubles in his childhood and has more time to develop his hobbies.
When Li Hongye was 11 years old, he could write cross talk works based on the content of Chinese textbooks, which was his first cross talk, called "The Story of Lei Feng".
With the mentality of giving it a try, Li Hongye took this cross talk to participate in the competition, and unexpectedly won the second prize of the school, although the ranking of the second prize is not high, but considering that the other award-winning students are all students in high school, Li Hongye feels that he may indeed have talent in this area.
So since then, he began to ponder writing better cross talk, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, and later Li Hongye wrote two cross talks that he was very satisfied with, but he failed to win the award.
But what frustrated him was not that he couldn't be on the list, but that a senior brother who had a good relationship with him actually won the award for this "not funny" cross talk.
My own failures are sad, but my friends' successes are even more worrying.
Obviously, his cross talk is better, why did he lose to his senior brother? Li Hongye didn't understand, he felt very hurt about it, and secretly vowed never to write cross talk again.
However, it turns out that he and cross talk are still inseparable after all.
Because he is an authentic Tianjin native, the moment he stepped into the school, he was naturally labeled as a "cross talk master".
A senior sister forcibly pulled him to join the cross talk association, and since then, he has continued his relationship with cross talk.
The members of the cross talk association are very motivated, they continue to study and create together, and with their hard work day after day, they finally made their first original cross talk drama - "Senior", and got the opportunity to perform at Jiaotong University.
On the eve of the performance, the members were nervous, but at the same time, they were hopeful, they pulled up banners, hoping that their cross talk would cause the audience to burst into laughter.
The banner said their expectations for themselves - "the audience burst into laughter 800 times", and after the performance, Li Hongye was very excited to tell everyone that according to his own estimates, the audience laughed a total of 912 times.
Under the comparison of accurate data, their "big victory" has become obvious, everyone is very happy, and Li Hongye has once again become interested in cross talk creation because of this success.
Only this time, he not only wants to create cross talk, but also to bring a "big change" to the cross talk industry on the original basis.
Is it cross talk, or academic papers?
In 2018, Li Hongye took his own books and appeared on the stage of "Cross Talk with Newcomers" with his wife Zheng Yu, this time, he successfully caused a sensation on the whole network, but in a sense, it is not a good thing.
At the beginning of the show, as soon as Li Hongye and his wife, who were contestants, came on stage, they gave Guo Degang a gift. And this gift is Li Hongye's book, and it is also the fuse of Li Hongye's explosion.
The husband and wife, both with doctoral degrees, are not quite the same as "ordinary people" in thinking, so after handing their works to Guo Degang, Li Hongye said:
"This book is called "Logic Funny Record", I guess you can understand this book about the same."
The implication is that as long as Guo Degang can study this book carefully and thoroughly understand the knowledge points in it, then he will definitely be able to go to the next level in cross talk creation.
In the eyes of many netizens, this is like a farmer who picks a hoe all day long but has a dream of martial arts, teaching a generation of grandmasters the martial arts secrets he pondered.
However, some netizens believe that in front of Guo Degang, he can recommend his books so confidently, and he has no stage fright, he must have a little foundation, so he is very much looking forward to the next performance of the couple.
However, after reading the work, quite a few people were silent.
When the man proposed, he swore a confession and claimed that he would always be good to her like a perpetual motion machine.
The woman did not hesitate to say that the perpetual motion machine is a false proposition.
If it is a true story, some people must sigh that this is a romance that belongs only to science students, and they will ridicule female doctors for not getting oil and salt.
But the audience present didn't buy it, and some even complained "Is this an academic paper", obviously, this cross talk that they are proud of did not meet expectations.
Therefore, after the performance, Li Hongye said that his cross talk was different from traditional cross talk, and he also showed a handful of hands and stepped on one by the way.
He said that traditional cross talk is either an old joke or a hot spot, if it has been like this without new ideas, the cross talk industry will have to be "finished" sooner or later. But his innovation was not recognized by the audience and Guo Degang.
The result is self-evident, their husband and wife were eliminated, but they were unwilling, so they co-starred with Guo Degang in another show - "-for-tat".
Crosstalk isn't funny, people are funny
Li Hongye said that he created his own cross talk formula, with which mass production of cross talk can be realized, and the "laughing fruit" can also be calculated, which is completely different from the traditional cross talk's "talking and singing".
Guo Degang is unceremonious, you can't do that.
In Guo Degang's view, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and the success of a cross talk is not measured by a certain person, but by the specific reaction of the audience.
As long as the commercial performance can be explosive, it is a good cross talk.
However, this sentence did not convince Li Hongye, he continued to exert his strength, saying that the statements of cross talk should be varied, and his "formula cross talk" can make people perform without any foundation, but traditional cross talk can't do it.
After that, he also said, "I really regret participating in your group", Guo Degang quickly responded after listening, "It's too late for you to leave now." This is to make it clear that he will not let them enter the next round.
Li Hongye said bluntly, if you don't let us pass today, we'll see, it's hard to guarantee that the person sitting on the judges' bench after that is not us, so the husband and wife left in a huff, quite unwilling.
In a subsequent interview, Li Hongye said that as long as there were women or children in the performance on stage that day, they were brushed off, but those who sang Taiping lyrics did not warm up the scene, and even did not laugh once.
Therefore, before the performance, Li Hongye's wife Zheng Yu was very worried, feeling that no matter how exciting her show was, she would not pass, because their cross talk was completely different from traditional cross talk.
However, after being eliminated on the show "Cross Talk Has Newcomers", Li Hongye didn't feel that he had any problems. Instead, I think it's a problem with the editing of the program team.
He said that when he performed, the audience responded enthusiastically and laughed, but there was no scene of the audience laughing in the show, but the reaction of the contestants.
Therefore, he did not approve of this result.
In addition, because before "Cross Talk with Newcomers", he had participated in many variety shows, including many CCTV programs, and the host Nigmat also commented that his cross talk was "breathtaking".
So he thought that there was nothing wrong with his "formula cross talk" itself, and it was funny enough, so he promoted it greatly. However, it is a pity that his tours are always a one-shot deal.
Almost all viewers don't want to watch it again after watching it once.
Therefore, Li Hongye opened up a new path - to start a live broadcast, in the live broadcast, he told his views on "formula cross talk" and "traditional cross talk", but he always unconsciously attacked the traditional cross talk leader "Guo Degang".
Many viewers didn't buy it, and they posted barrages one after another saying that they would let him quit the cross talk industry as soon as possible, and some netizens even said that Li Hongye's cross talk was not funny, but Li Hongye was very funny.
However, Li Hongye is not discouraged, he believes that today's trough is only temporary, and sooner or later, he will be able to get through it and recast his glory.
Today's Li Hongye is still working hard for his "formula cross talk" career, and he will always express his views on cross talk and the cross talk he created on his social platform.
However, in this era of rapidly changing Internet hotspots, his name has long faded in people's hearts, and he once became popular because of his confrontation with Guo Degang, but now he has received very little attention.
And in the comments of the last few works, it is almost all mockery.
epilogue
Innovation is the key to the sustainable development of almost every field, and no matter what industry it is, once it stagnates, it is likely to be abandoned by the times.
The inheritance of art also needs innovation, but while innovating, we should also respect the laws of art itself. Li Hongye hopes that the starting point for innovation in the cross talk industry is good, but the path chosen is not necessarily correct.
Just as AI cannot replace humans, whether cross talk is funny or not should be judged by the audience, rather than relying on blunt formulas. If the audience doesn't approve of it, then no matter how perfect it seems to them, it's just pleasing themselves.
