Hou Yaohua's video connotation Yang Yi: The teacher is very important, Zhu Bajie does not have a master, he is Haiqing
The online debate between Hou Yaohua and Yang Yi is ostensibly a debate about mentorship, but in fact it reveals the dilemmas and challenges faced by the cross talk industry in the process of contemporary social transformation, as well as the collision of traditional and modern concepts. This "monkey and sheep dispute" seems to be a farce, but it is worth thinking deeply.
Hou Yaohua's emphasis on the importance of mentorship is certainly justified. In the traditional cross talk industry, the inheritance of master and apprentice is the key to the continuation of skills and the inheritance of rules. The master not only imparts skills, but more importantly, shapes the artist's moral character and artistic accomplishment. Without a teacher, it is like a tree without roots, it is difficult to absorb nutrients and thrive in the soil of cross talk. Hou Yaohua's remarks represent the adherence of the older generation of cross talk artists to tradition and the maintenance of rules.
However, times are changing, and the ecology of the cross talk industry is also changing. Although Yang Yi did not formally apprentice, he has made good achievements in the field of cross talk with his own efforts and talents, and has won the recognition of the audience. This shows that in modern society, the path to success has become diversified, and mentorship is no longer the only criterion. The success of Yang Yi precisely reflects the vitality and inclusiveness of the development of modern cross talk.
We cannot simply dismiss Hou's views as antiques, nor can we attribute Yang Yi's success solely to personal efforts. Hou Yaohua's insistence is the guardian of traditional cross talk culture; Yang Yi's breakthrough is an exploration of the development direction of modern cross talk. The two are not completely opposed, but can complement each other and jointly promote the prosperity of the cross talk industry.
On a deeper level, this controversy also reflects the loss of the cross talk industry in the wave of commercialization. With the development of the market economy, cross talk has gradually transformed from a traditional art form to an entertainment product. In order to cater to the market and pursue commercial interests, some cross talk actors ignore the pursuit of art, and even do not hesitate to win attention with vulgar and kitsch content. This phenomenon is undoubtedly a blasphemy against the art of cross talk.
The controversy between Hou Yaohua and Yang Yi also exposed the contradictions and disagreements within the cross talk industry. The cross talk world is not monolithic, and there is competition and conflict between different factions and different teachers. This kind of competition, if it can develop benignly, can promote the innovation and progress of cross talk art; But if it develops into vicious competition, it will damage the overall image of the cross talk industry.
Returning to the argument between Hou Yaohua and Yang Yi itself, both should exercise restraint to avoid further escalation of the conflict. As an elder in the cross talk industry, Hou Yaohua should treat Yang Yi with a more tolerant attitude and encourage him to continue to explore and innovate in the field of cross talk. Yang Yi should also respect Hou Yaohua's adherence to tradition and understand the feelings of the older generation of cross talk artists.
This controversy has also triggered the public's thinking about the future development of the cross talk industry. How to balance tradition and modernity, how to regulate market order, and how to cultivate excellent cross talk talents are all problems that need to be solved urgently. The future of the cross talk industry requires the joint efforts of all cross talk artists, as well as the attention and support of all sectors of society.
We look forward to Hou Yaohua and Yang Yi being able to put aside their prejudices and work together to contribute to the inheritance and development of cross talk art. We also hope that the cross talk industry can radiate new vitality and vitality in the context of the new era, and continue to bring laughter and thinking to the audience.
This "monkey and sheep dispute" may be just an episode, but the thinking it has triggered is worthy of our long-term attention. The future of cross talk art needs to be guarded by us.
In the era of information explosion, how to obtain true and reliable information and how to rationally view online public opinion is also a question worth exploring. We should not be coerced by emotions on the Internet, but should maintain the ability to think independently and evaluate events objectively and fairly.
The controversy between Hou Yaohua and Yang Yi also reminds us to respect the existence of different points of view and avoid black and white ways of thinking. The more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes, and only through rational dialogue and exchange can we better solve problems.
Finally, we hope that the cross talk industry can develop healthily and bring more excellent works to the audience. I also hope that Hou Yaohua and Yang Yi can reconcile and jointly contribute to the prosperity of cross talk art.
