Guo Degang also did not expect that the girls of Deyun Club would become such a big hit that they would bring the traditional art of "crosstalk" to the popular stage.

Deyunshe group combines traditional Chinese culture with lively and lively language arts, showing the unpretentious charm of life. The emergence of Deyunshe has pushed the already lonely crosstalk industry to the forefront. Another round of peaks.

Speaking of Deyun Club, Guo Degang has to be mentioned.

As the "Crosstalk Emperor", Guo Degang's life is full of drama. He speaks, speaks and reads crosstalk, and the sentences he spits out are lively, humorous and humorous, but he does not have a crosstalk-like life.

Lao Guo has said many wise words and told many philosophical stories in his life. As everyone knows, these are his summary of his sad life experience. From being unknown to becoming a household name, he has been the only one to endure the hard work. Know.

Guo Degang was born in an ordinary family in Hongqiao District, Tianjin. He showed an extraordinary love for the art of language since he was a child. When he was six years old, he learned storytelling from an actor, which started his relationship with cross talk. The fate of solution.

In order to realize his dream and earn more money to support his family, Guo Degang made a lot of efforts. He even served as a monkey for customers to watch for a bonus of 4,000 yuan, becoming his The last thing I want to mention.

When he was 16 years old, Guo Degang went to Beijing alone. As a young and vigorous man, he applied for the Art Troupe of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, hoping to find an opportunity to perform cross talk on stage. However, reality slapped him in the face, and he was unknown. He could only work as a handyman backstage, let alone perform on stage. Soon he failed.

The experience of entering Beijing for the second time was not satisfactory, because Guo Degang had no connections or connections, and no crosstalk group wanted him. He only stayed for a few days before returning to Tianjin.

In 1995, Guo Degang, unwilling to stop there, started his third attempt, and this time there was finally some improvement.

He first worked as a screenwriter, staying up late writing scripts in a small room of seven or eight square meters to support his family, but the remuneration he received was not much. Guo Degang sang, worked, and did odd jobs in Puhuangyu during the day, and wrote by lighting a lamp at night. Life was very difficult, but he still persevered because he believed that God will always favor those who work hard.

This year, Guo Degang was invited by a teahouse to talk about cross talk. He partnered with Wang Yuebo. At that time, he had only one audience in the audience.

Later, he met some old folk performers and formed the "Beijing Crosstalk Conference" and "Beijing Weekend Crosstalk Club". At the same time, he met, got to know each other, and stayed with Yu Qian and Zhang Wenshun. They collaborated on the same stage and held a cross talk conference in Dashilan, and Guo Degang finally began to stand out.

However, in the cross talk circle, Guo Degang has never been favored. Some seniors in the Beijing circle often slandered and made things difficult for him. He had no one to support him and was framed. Guo Degang encountered obstacles everywhere in Beijing, walking on thin ice.

But Lao Guo did not expect that a turning point would come in another village. In June 2004, Hou Yaowen pulled him out and accepted him as his disciple, thus putting an end to rumors in the Beijing crosstalk circle. Later, he joined the China Railway Art Troupe. But after all, he was not a staff member. Guo Degang was frustrated in the China Railway Art Troupe, but finally came out.

In October of the same year, Guo Degang changed the cross talk convention into Deyun Society and opened his own performance paradise. This is also the original form of Deyun Society that modern people can trace back.

At this time, Guo Degang began to accept disciples, and his disciples were also very successful. Cao Yunjin, Zhang Yunlei, Yue Yunpeng and others gradually became the signatures of Deyun Club. But at that time, he never imagined that water can carry a boat and also capsize it.

In fact, during the "Beijing Crosstalk Conference", Guo Degang had already accepted many apprentices, including Zhang Yunlei, Cao Yunjin, He Yunwei, etc. He led his apprentices to flourish in the crosstalk world, and later accepted Yue Yunpeng and Kong Yunlong.

At that time, everyone in the Deyun Society was extremely poor. The apprentices were carrying dishes and washing vegetables, and the master was being watched when he entered the glass cabinet. The whole society did not make much money, but everyone believed that the dark days would eventually come. will pass.

In 2006, his old disciple Yan Yunda came to visit him. Recalling the sad times of that year, the master and the disciple couldn't help crying. Guo Degang named Yan Zonghai "Yan Yunda", acquiescing to his position as senior brother. , but it aroused the dissatisfaction of other disciples, and the people of Deyun Society were discordant, laying the foundation for disaster.

However, Guo Degang continued to accept apprentices, with mixed qualifications and different ideas. On the surface, everything was calm, but internally it was already falling apart.

At that time, He Yunwei and Cao Yunjin were two famous figures in Deyun Club. They often went out to perform, film shows, and participate in variety shows. However, they relied on their talents, arrogance, and overbearing at home. They often spoke arrogantly and even returned to perform in the club. It all became "charity".

On Guo Degang's birthday in 2010, those hidden conflicts finally broke out. Cao Yunjin scorned his master at Guo Degang's birthday party. He kowtowed to the statue of Guan Gong, turned around and announced Leave Deyun Club.

Guo Degang didn't say anything on the surface, but he was in pain in his heart. He expressed his emotions in a song "Weiyang Palace". He had no choice but to do anything about his apprentice's behavior.

Subsequently, Deyun Club was banned by Beijing TV Station and the China Broadcasting and Broadcasting Association due to the beating incident of his apprentice Li Hebiao. At a time when it was besieged on all sides, another pillar of Deyun Club, He Yunwei, resolutely chose to leave.

At this time, Guo Degang finally cheered up and started a round of reforms, establishing a contract system and allocating performance time. However, Cao Yunjin, who came back, was so embarrassed that he fled Deyun Club with several of his brothers and became independent. portal. In times of crisis, Yue Yunpeng and other apprentices stepped forward to take charge and gradually became popular.

After surviving this crisis, Deyun Society’s business is booming, and the apprentices of the “Crane” generation have also begun to stand out. Later, the apprentices of the “Nine” generation have become a new force. Guo Degang is very tolerant of his apprentices. Whether they want to go out to make money or want to stay in Deyun Club, he fully supports them.

However, the disciples did not understand the master's intentions. Cao Yunjin wrote a short composition and severed all ties with the master. Guo Degang's reply was sonorous and powerful, "It's outrageous to be shameless", but the final ending, "When no one is around to solve the problem, just say a word and don't care, I don't care about you." makes people feel indescribable sadness: Teacher Guo has been miserable for half his life. , narrowly escaped death, but his son and disciple were always his weakness and weakness.

After Deyunshe’s family tree was announced, the “family” gradually changed. Senior brother Yan Yunda announced his retirement from the company, and his successor Zhang Yunlei was exposed for insulting the heroic predecessors and was named and criticized by CCTV. Subsequently, Kong Yunlong had frequent accidents, which made people sigh.

In addition, a large number of scandals were exposed among the young disciples, such as drunk driving, cheating, sleeping with powder, domestic violence, and various incidents emerged one after another. Guo Degang was exposed to all kinds of news, and he was concerned about everyone. Every disciple tried his best to remedy the situation.

Recently, young disciple Chen Xiaohua broke into a woman’s room naked after drinking and tried to invade her. This incident finally overwhelmed Deyun Club and Guo Degang. He decisively removed Chen Xiaohua from the group in an attempt to scare the monkeys, but he ended up with a reputation of "repairing the situation after a lost sheep".

People's Daily Online said: Deyunshe artists frequently do outrageous things, shouldn't they reflect on it? Although the character of a disciple has nothing to do with the master, so many disciples have become morally corrupt. Is it really not the result of the master's negligence in discipline?

Not to mention, Zhao Benshan, who had a close relationship with Guo Degang, was also very popular back then. Now that he has retired, he is just wiping the butt of his apprentices.

Guo Degang relies on "advancing with the times" to promote Deyun Club to national fame and carry forward the art of cross talk. Some people may ask, why can such a traditional art become so popular in the fast-paced modern society? Guo Degang is not from a cross talk family, and his professionalism may not be better than that of old artists, but he is young, dares to innovate, and dares to explore the market.

Deyun Club has been able to reach its current scale not because of the popularity of "cross talk" itself, but because Guo Degang has frequently appeared in front of the public for more than ten years. He participated in comedy shows, recorded well-known variety shows, and filmed movies, participated in reality shows, and even held online scolding battles.

Guo Degang relied on operational methods that could increase traffic, coupled with his own talent and hard work, to make Deyun Club bigger step by step.

Deyun Club has grown to a later stage and has begun professional operations. It has created a "performing company" to train apprentices as artists. There are dedicated operations managers behind the scenes to control the market, invest in traffic, and accurately control Only by commenting and cultivating fans and seizing the opportunities of the development of the times can Deyun Club prosper.

It is certainly a good thing to recruit disciples. To carry forward the quintessence of Chinese art, we do need successors, but people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. In the face of traffic, ugliness has nowhere to hide. The Internet is like a giant magnifying glass, revealing to everyone the things you desperately want to hide.

Lao Guo endured hardships for half his life and finally "lived just fine". However, in his later years, he was banned as an apprentice, and his name even became a way to attract customers.

Guo Degang can be tolerated by the times and loved by the market because of his shining idealism. We will always remember his graceful way of waving his sleeves and turning his bright words into stunning works. Nowadays, Deyun Society is surrounded by negative news. Guo Degang should learn from Zhao Benshan’s mistakes.
