Speaking of the great beauty Guan Zhilin, I believe many people still remember. But if you mention Guan Zhilin in the cross-talk industry, do you still know who it is?
Say her name you may not be able to match the number, her name is Song Ning. She is Feng Gong's apprentice, and has appeared with Feng Gong on CCTV Spring Festival Gala and Beijing Spring Festival Gala many times, and has also acted in many films directed by Feng Gong.
One of the more widely circulated clips is in "Impatient to Eat Hot Tofu", the primary school student played by Xiao Dingdang sings "Snail and Yellow Oriole Bird", directly singing "Hou Shu'er", and the tall music teacher is played by Song Ning.
This time, we will talk about Song Ning, a cross-talk actor, or a comedian.
01
Song Ning is a native of Shenyang, her height is relatively high, at least outstanding among female comedians, and should also have a certain relationship with her being from the northeast. Song Ning graduated from the Department of Chinese Opera Performance, and later entered the China Broadcasting Art Troupe and studied under Feng Gong, so many viewers thought that she, like Jia Ling, was in the cross-talk college class opened by Feng Gong in Chinese opera.
This is not the case. Song Ning was in the real acting department of Chinese opera at that time, so how did she not act in film and television dramas, but became acquainted with cross-talk?
In 2002, by chance, Song Ning was invited by his classmates to participate in the stage performance of the Radio Arts Troupe. At that time, she had very little cross-talk experience, but she boldly said a paragraph of "West Brother And East Sister" with her classmate Cui Yidong. This performance was very exciting, which surprised Feng Gong, Jiang Kun and other famous cross-talk artists sitting on the stage. This performance gave Song Ning contact with cross-talk, and later she studied under Feng Gong, and after entering the Radio Art Troupe, she had more opportunities to perform stage comedy.

In November of the following year, Song Ning and his partner Cui Yidong participated in the National Cross-Talk Sketch Invitational Competition, and the two of them continued to speak together "West Brother DongMei", which won the first prize in the cross-talk professional group. By the way, Guo Degang and Jia Ling and others also participated in this competition that year.
Since then, Song Ning has gained some fame in the cross-talk circle, and as a female cross-talk actress, she has already attracted attention. However, Song Ning rarely performed cross-talk again, but enthusiastically devoted herself to the creation and performance of stage sketches.
In 2005, Song Ning appeared on CCTV for the first time at the Spring Festival Gala, performing the sketch "Wishing Birthday" with Wei Ji'an, Huang Xiaojuan, Sun Tao and Xiao Dingdang. Later, she also performed the sketch "Homecoming" with Feng Gong and Pan Binlong at the Beijing Spring Festival Gala, and in 2017, she appeared on CCTV Spring Festival Gala again, performing the sketch "Trust" with Feng Gong, Lin Yongjian and Fu Yuanhui.
It can be seen that although Song Ning has appeared on some big stages, because she has played mostly not so wonderful supporting roles, her popularity has not expanded a lot, at least not to the same position as jia ling, the same as the same door sister.

In addition to acting in sketches, Song Ninghe has participated in many movies, including Mentor Feng Gong's "Can't Eat Hot Tofu in a Hurry", "Don't Take Yourself as An Improper Cadre", and "Happiness Comes Right Away", all of which also play small supporting roles.
In 2020, Song Ning participated in the sixth season of "Happy Comedians" as a starting comedian, acting in a work with an elderly theme, but the teacher was unfavorable, and the first round was eliminated.
Song Ning was born in 1980 and is over 40 years old this year, but her body management is still excellent. When she performed on the stage of the sixth season of "Happy Comedians", I was on the recording scene and could see Song Ning's tall stature, which was unique among many actors, and still had a lot of temperament.
04
Judging from the development trajectory of Song Ning and Jia Ling, it is actually very similar. It is reasonable to say that Song Ning's natural external conditions are superior to Jia Ling's, but looking at the development of today's comedy career, there is a considerable gap.
It can be seen that in the comedy industry, external conditions may not be so important, and it is more important that the actor's performance can empathize with the audience and make the audience infected.
