The cause of the incident was that Wang Peiyu mentioned Guo Degang in a program, saying that Guo Degang did not understand Peking Opera at all, and at most he was a ticket holder. He also ridiculed Guo Degang, saying that it was impossible for Guo Degang to use crosstalk to promote the development of Peking Opera. So whether Guo Degang's Peking Opera level is really as unpopular as Wang Peiyu said, and whether Guo Degang uses crosstalk to promote the development of Peking Opera culture, let's talk about the enmity between Guo Degang and the Peking Opera circle.
When it comes to Wang Peiyu, many people will think of another cross-talk actor Cao Yunjin, who once came out on the Internet that Cao Yunjin worshiped Wang Peiyu, so do these two people really have a master-apprentice relationship?
Cao Yunjin and Wang Peiyu once participated in the Beijing Satellite TV variety show "Inheriting China", and Cao Yunjin was impressed by Wang Peiyu's Peking Opera skills and admired her achievements in Peking Opera. Facing Wang Peiyu, Cao Yunjin sat directly on the stage, hugged Wang Peiyu's calf with a flattering face, begged her to accept herself as an apprentice, and said in her mouth: Boss Yu, you teach me. Wang Peiyu faced Cao Yunjin's bitter pleas, and really agreed to Cao Yunjin's request to worship on the stage. However, afterwards, Wang Peiyu fang issued a clarification that Cao Yunjin was only accepted on the stage for the effect of the program, and Wang Peiyu himself and Cao Yunjin did not have a private friendship. As a contemporary celebrity, Wang Peiyu naturally cherished his feathers and did not accept Cao Yunjin, who had betrayed his master, as an apprentice, which was also a reasonable thing.
Wang Peiyu was a grandfather who appreciated rice and had extraordinary talents, and was admitted to the Shanghai Drama School at the age of fourteen, specializing in the old student industry; at the age of fifteen, he was praised by the Peking Opera Taidou Mei Baojiu, known as "Xiao Meng Xiaodong", and became the deputy head of the Shanghai Peking Opera At the age of twenty. Playing iron itself is hard, Wang Peiyu relies on her excellent Peking Opera performance skills, and is smooth on the road of quyi.
Wang Peiyu once said: "There are two kinds of people in the world, one kind of people love Peking Opera, and the other kind of people don't know what they love." "Peking Opera is now a high and widow, Wang Peiyu knows that living in the temple is impossible to spread Peking Opera culture, so Wang Peiyu often attends major variety shows to promote Peking Opera." Wang Peiyu is not conformist, he has been actively seeking different ways of Peking Opera performance, so that more people can contact Peking Opera and understand Peking Opera.
When participating in the CCTV famous variety show "Readers", Wang Peiyu used Peking Opera rhymes to recite "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu", Song Ci and Peking Opera were skillfully integrated by Wang Peiyu, and the antique collocation dared to make the heavens and the earth change color, surprising the audience.
Wang Peiyu can be said to have spared no effort to promote the development of Peking Opera art, and it can be said that she and Guo Degang have the same destination.
Guo Degang is very obsessed with Peking Opera, Guo Degang once said that crosstalk is just to mix food, he prefers to talk and sing, although Guo Degang is not specialized in Peking Opera performance, but also made a great contribution to the Peking Opera industry.
Xiangsheng and Peking Opera are closely related art categories, and Guo Degang did not forget to spread Peking Opera culture when his cross-talk career was booming. Guo Degang often adds Peking Opera singing to his performances, and also performs Peking Opera in the Spring Festival Gala of Xiangsheng. Guo Degang also specially founded the Xiqu Society, named the Qilin Society, many people say that this Qilin Society was created by Guo Degang for his son Guo Qilin, so it was named after Guo Qilin. In fact, this word "Qilin" comes from teacher Zhou Xinfang, who is the founder of the Qi Sect of Peking Opera, nicknamed Qilin Tong, and Guo Degang is a disciple of the Qi Sect. Guo Degang named the two after the reputation of Teacher Zhou Xinfang, yu Guo Qilin is a beautiful expectation, and in the Qilin Society, it is the admiration and remembrance of Mr. Zhou Xinfang.
It is said that when the Qilin Society was first founded, it would lose hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, even so, Guo Degang still persevered, relying on Tao Yang to sit in town, Guo Degang and Yu Qian often came to help, the Qilin Society only stood firm, Guo Degang's dedication and persistence to Peking Opera came from the love of the heart.
On January 5, 2017, Guo Degang posted that the "Chinese Peking Opera Lost Repertoire Rush Recording Project" filmed and produced by Deyun Society has been officially launched, aiming to preach for the grandfather and let these national essences of art be passed on to the world, and the performance team is the Qilin Opera Society founded by Guo Degang, and a group photo with the Qilin Society is attached. Guo Degang can be said to have spared no effort in Peking Opera.
Professor of Peking University and descendant of Confucius Kong Qingdong once said: "Jiang Kun, chairman of the Qu Association, said that learning to sing is not good, there is no creative ability, in art bullshit is not, a Guo Degang's contribution to the art of music is worth a hundred qu associations." ”
However, there are also many voices inside and outside the industry that question and oppose Guo Degang, some people say that Guo Degang is always mixing things with the Peking Opera circle, and some people say that Peking Opera is an elegant art category and will be biased by Guo Degang. Wang Peiyu also said that when Guo Degang performs, there is often a group of famous cross-talk artists performing with him, and without the blessing of many famous Peking opera artists, people who really understand Peking Opera will not go to see a Guo Degang alone. But Guo Degang was not affected by these voices and still did things to contribute to the spread of Peking Opera.
On February 3, Guo Degang posted a one-sentence Weibo post, "No intention of struggling for spring," as if in response to Wang Peiyu's evaluation of himself. Guo Degang's sentence is interesting, Guo Degang may be telling Wang Peiyu and the majority of Peking Opera artists that he just wants to promote Peking Opera culture and has no intention of competing for the limelight; but to know that the next sentence of this sentence is "a group of fangs jealousy", so at a glance, Lao Guo seems to have an extra layer of irony, Lao Guo's sentence is really intriguing.
Guo Degang is actually a decent Peking Opera disciple, with a Peking Opera master. Guo Degang's Peking Opera master is Mr. Zhao Lintong, but unfortunately Guo Degang only worshiped the teacher after the old man's death, Zhao Lintong is very optimistic about Guo Degang, taught Guo Degang a lot of Peking Opera skills, from the aspect of teaching and solving puzzles, the two are already masters and apprentices, but Guo Degang and Mr. Zhao Lintong have not carried out the ceremony of worshiping the teacher. Zhao Lintong promised Guo Degang to accept Guo Degang as an apprentice in his performance on the 75th anniversary of his career. But the old gentleman died before that. On April 28, 2018, Mr. Zhao Lintong's wife made up the ceremony, and Guo Degang prostrated to the statue of Mr. Zhao Lintong and officially returned to the Qipai Peking Opera.
When it comes to Uncle Yu Qian's hobbies, we will all think of "smoking, drinking, and perming heads", and Guo Degang's biggest hobby is Peking Opera, not only obsessed with Peking Opera, Guo Degang also likes python robes very much, the apprentices all know this hobby of the master, often send python robes to honor the master, Yue Yunpeng will send several python robes to Guo Degang every year.
On May 7, 2020, Guo Degang specially sent a Weibo: Son, there are manufacturers who sponsor opera costumes who want to order dad, which means that Guo Qilin wants a python robe. Guo Qilin also mentioned Guo Degang's obsession with python robes in the interview program, Guo Qilin said, my dad knows that the team I like wears blue uniforms, and I said, Hey, I think the blue python robes are also very good-looking.
Perhaps Guo Degang's Peking Opera performance level is indeed not comparable to those of Peking Opera celebrities, but Guo Degang's contribution to Peking Opera may not be lower than that of any Peking Opera actor today, so Wang Peiyu's slightly sarcastic and sarcastic remarks about Guo Degang may not be very appropriate. One of the two is a famous Peking Opera singer. One is a cross-talk master, both actively and sparing no effort to promote the development of Peking Opera, although the two live in different industries, but have the same goal - to revitalize Peking Opera, which can be described as the same destination.
I wish that Peking Opera can get more attention and develop all the way.
