Recently, the 64-year-old performance artist and Hou Yaowen's disciple Chen Hanbai appeared at a celebration, the scene was highly respected, full of red light and full of spirit, the only puzzling thing was that he was in a wheelchair the whole time, suspected that there was a problem with his legs and feet.
Chen Hanbai was obviously "prepared", and responded to a controversial topic in the cross-talk industry on the spot: dry daddy. Chen Hanbai has been controversial because he recognized too many dry fathers, and was ridiculed by netizens as a "five-surnamed family slave".
In the past, netizens always thought that Chen Hanbai had 5 dry fathers, namely Hou Yaowen's partner Shi Fukuan, Hou Baolin's disciple Shi Shengjie, Guo Degang's mentor Yang Zhigang, the only general in the cross-talk industry Chang Guitian, and a generation of famous artists Liu Wenheng.
Chen Hanbai generously admitted that he was the second most dry father in the cross-talk industry, recognizing a total of 6 dry fathers, and Guan Ziren, the disciple of The Cross-talk Taidou Ma Sanli, was also his dry father.
The most dry father in the cross-talk industry is Li Jindou, who has recognized more than 20 dry fathers in total, which is more than 3 times more than Chen Hanbai.
At the scene, Chen Hanbai called Li Jindou by his first name, which seemed to be impolite, but it was also acceptable. After all, from the perspective of generations, the two are equals, but there is no need for so many gifts.
Chen Hanbai burst Li Jindou's fierce material not to pull him into the water, but to clarify one thing, that is, the cross-talk industry recognized that the father was not looking for a patron, but to give people a pension to send them to the end. Li Jindou's more than 20 dry fathers are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they recognize dry fathers in order to give them a pension and send them to the end, which is to accumulate virtue and do good.
Chen Hanbai said that it was not easy for the old social artists, the disciples of the church starved to death of the master, and the people gave you the ability to live and establish a life, you will know Entu, so simply recognize a dry father as a son of others, and give people a pension in their old age.
Chen Hanbai has a certain truth in what he said, but it is only part of the truth. Recognizing gan dad is indeed the traditional custom of artists in the old society, and it seems reasonable to teach you the ability to support him.
But in essence, this is still naked exploitation, a squeezing system established by old artists to maximize the value of younger artists.
Cross-talk threshold is low, you can open your mouth to say, the plate is so big how can you eat more? Establish so-called "rules". By setting up various rules, such as worshiping teachers, dry fathers, spring points, etc., cross-talk artists form a monopoly on the industry, and old artists have the right to speak, and blackmail young artists to the greatest extent to ensure their status and good life.
In the end, it is all crooked and evil. Therefore, many highly respected cross-talk masters such as Ma Sanli and Hou Baolin do not want their sons to say cross-talk, and on the surface they say that they are full of culture, but in fact, they know what kind of goods this industry is, and they do not want their sons to wade into muddy waters.
Chen Hanbai said that he recognized that his father was not to find a patron, but to hold back the pension and send himself to the end, to make himself quite aggrieved, and also smashed on the spot and said, "(Dry daddy) is not easy to die":
In fact, this argument does not hold water. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the status and income of artists increased sharply, and many famous artists or institutions held important positions, such as Hou Yaowen and Chang Guitian, or had a great right to speak in the industry, such as Shi Fukuan and Shi Shengjie. These people are not the "old, weak, sick and disabled" in Chen Hanbai's mouth, but have real power and influence.
That is to say, the old society's set does not work, the disciples of the church will not starve the master, the so-called recognition of the father is for the "pension to send the end" naturally untenable.
But then again, in essence, Chen Hanbai is also a victim of the "dry daddy system", and when a certain atmosphere rises in an industry and is widely recognized, most people have no choice.
