In fact, I think Zhang Guoli has a saying that is very reasonable: Ji Tianyu bears much more responsibility and pressure than ordinary cross-talk actors.
First of all, she is the only co-transmission disciple of the Taiwanese cross-talk masters Chen Yi'an, Wei Longhao, and Wu Zhaonan, and shoulders the responsibility of passing on and carrying forward the cross-talk of these three schools.
But the profession of cross-talk is not good for women. In addition to Ji Tianyu, the only cross-talk actress I know is Jia Ling.
Jia Ling now also focuses on the creation and performance of sketches.
It can be seen that it is not easy for women to take the road of crosstalk.
Guo Degang once said that it was not that he did not want to accept female apprentices, but that he could not.
In the past, many female apprentices who said cross-talk were going to a crooked road because they could not resist various temptations, and he was afraid that such a thing would happen in his own Deyun Society, so he simply decided not to accept female apprentices.
Guo Degang's master Hou Yaowen was incorruptible throughout his life, but in his later years, he ignored any opposition and took in a female apprentice, who was often misunderstood by various misunderstandings, and some scandals came out.
Therefore, it is not difficult for us to guess that when Ji Tianyu studied cross-talk under three teachers at the same time, he also endured a lot of gossip and experienced a lot of cold treatment.
In fact, in addition to being a cross-talk actress, she is also a film and television actor and model.
He has starred in the movie "Nineteen Generations of ancestors" and the TV series "Once Upon a Time in Taiwan". Because of her slender figure and delicate face, she looks like Lin Chiling, so she is called by netizens: Lin Chiling of the cross-talk industry.
Ji Tianyu came to the mainland from Taipei alone to work hard, and should have been in a difficult and difficult state. But fortunately, she and Guo Degang were able to climb some friendships.
Her master, Liu Zengkai, was a disciple of Wu Zhaonan, who in turn studied under Hou Baolin and was in the same sect as Guo Degang. According to the generations, Guo Degang and Liu Zengkai are the same generation, and they should be called Wu Zhaonan a master, and Ji Tianyu should be called Guo Degang a master.
In this way, Ji Tianyu and Guo Degang can be regarded as "a family", they are both disciples who have studied Xiangsheng in Hou Pai.
In addition, Ji Tianyu herself has a good cross-talk and acting skills, so Guo Degang will pay great attention to her. She has starred in Guo Degang's film "Nineteen Generations of Ancestors", and also assisted Zhang Yunlei in the competition program of "Happy Comedians", which has won unanimous praise from the audience.
Ji Tianyu's journey in the mainland is relatively smooth, and he also has a high reputation in Taiwan. In 2018, the TV series "Once Upon a Time in Taiwan" that she starred in received high attention as soon as it was released, and the star path was bright.
