In 1995, Guo Degang came to Beijing alone and established the Beijing Cross-Talk Conference with Zhang Wenshun and Li Jing, which is today's Deyun Society.
Today, Deyun Society has become the most famous and largest cross-talk group in the country, with a prominent reputation and a hard ticket.
In addition to Guo Degang and Yu Qian, two pillars, there are also many outstanding young actors in the Deyun Society who are deeply loved by the audience. For example, Zhang Yunlei, who let young female audiences "think about braided brothers day and night", Zhou Jiuliang, who is affectionately known as "Little Mr." by fans, Tao Yunsheng, "Peking Opera prodigy", and Kong Yunlong, the "third brother" who recently shined on Douyin, etc.
In addition to these people, there is a person who is not well known to the audience, who is not well-known and is not a well-known actor. But it was such a person who also occupied an unshakable position in the Deyun Society. His identity is very special, he was once a well-known gangster in Beijing, with a knife scar on his face and a horse boy under his hands, and he is a veritable big brother on the road.
This person is Li Hedong.
Li Hedong, real name Li Dong, born on November 24, 1988 in Beijing, is a cross-talk actor of Deyun Society, who teaches Guo Degang. On July 7, 2012, he participated in the ceremony of the Deyun Society's Crane Character Scientist and became Guo Degang's disciple and partner Xie Jin.
Although Xie Jin is very young, he has a very high generation in the cross-talk circle, is a literary generation, and is the same generation of late old artists as Hou Yaowen, Ma Ji, Su Wenmao, and is Guo Degang's uncle. Because Xie Jin's father, the late cross-talk performance artist Xie Tianshun, has a high generation, is the Baozi generation, and Hou Baolin, Liu Baorui, and Ma Zhiming are of the same generation, so although he is young, he can have a high generation score. According to this calculation, Xie Jin's partner Li Hedong wanted to call him a master.
After graduating from college, Xie Jin once devoted all his energy to the civil service examination, but unfortunately, although he was full of confidence, he still fell behind Sun Shan. In desperation, Xie Jin, who was in his twenties at the time, began to learn cross-talk with his father Xie Tianshun. Xiangsheng is a boy skill, and Xie Jin started too late, resulting in him having a high generation, but the basic skills are not very solid. And because the performance style is very unfixed, Xie Jin has changed many partners, until 4 years ago with Li Hedong to form a fixed partner. Nowadays, the cooperation between the two has successfully passed the run-in period, and the cooperation is becoming more and more comfortable and tacit.
Li Hedong is a well-known tough guy in the Deyun Society, and he has a momentum that is not angry and arrogant, so he can calm people in the background. Moreover, before visiting Guo Degang, Li Hedong was a well-known in Beijing, and many people who saw him had to politely call out Brother Dong. And he also had a name in society at that time, which is what we know today as "Social East".
Li Hedong had an older brother, who was also a disciple of Guo Degang, Li Yunjie of the Yunzi Branch. Due to the early death of his father and the weakness of Li Yunjie, some people began to bully their orphans and widows. In order not to be bullied, the young Li Hedong often fought with people, and over time, he made friends with many undesirable young people in society and began to mix with society.
At that time, Li Hedong fought and died, there were knife scars on his face and body, with that fierceness, he gradually gained fame in the Beijing mixed circle, and many younger brothers followed him and became a veritable big brother.
Seeing his brother so depraved, Li Yunjie was very worried, afraid that sooner or later Something big would happen to Li Hedong. He told Guo Degang his thoughts, and Guo Degang did not say a word and accepted Li Hedong as an apprentice and as a righteous son.
Just like when Hou Yaowen accepted Guo Degang as an apprentice, Guo Degang's acceptance of Li Hedong also encountered unanimous opposition within the company. They believe that Li Hedong is a social person and will certainly not learn art in a down-to-earth manner. However, Guo Degang believes that Li Hedong's depravity is for a reason, he is not bad to the bone, and he is still very kind inside. So he tried his best to defy the public opinion and insisted on accepting Li Hedong.
Facts have proved that Guo Degang's vision is not wrong, under his subtlety, Li Hedong has become more and more stable, the impetuous atmosphere on his body has gradually converged, and his artistic attainments have also been significantly improved.
Of course, the lying tiger is still a tiger after all, not a kitten. Although Li Hedong studied cross-talk in a down-to-earth manner at the Deyun Society, the domineering spirit in his body did not weaken in the slightest.
Shortly after Li Hedong joined the Deyun Society, Cao Yunjin's big fuss about Guo Degang's birthday party broke out. The arrogant Cao Yunjin forced Shi Niang to kneel down and angrily scolded the Shi brothers one by one, and even Luan Yunping, who was "Luan Qi", was scolded by him for being a dog bloody head. However, when he scolded Li Hedong, he was frightened by Li Hedong's cold gaze and did not dare to scold this cruel person.
In 2010, deyun society encountered unprecedented difficulties, when Li Hedong had already studied and worked in deyun society, but he had not yet formally studied.
In the face of the predicament, Li Yunjie and Li Hedong brothers said: Master, our family demolition and relocation has been divided into three suites, and our brothers and sons have kept one set for each of them, and the remaining set is for you to repay the teacher's kindness. If you still do this in the future, we will follow you. If you don't do it, we won't stop talking.
This matter was clearly written in Guo Degang's autobiography "Just Lived", and wrote such a sentence: If you have to do so, this life is enough.
The wind knows the grass, and the board is honest.
Nowadays, Li Hedong has gradually faded the cloak of "Social East", immersed himself in learning the art of cross-talk with Guo Degang, and Xie Jin has appeared on more and more programs, appeared in the public's field of vision, and attracted many fans.
Interestingly, his fans don't call him "Social East", but "Milk East". As for why, it is not known.
