Zhou Libo ridiculed Guo Degang for being of too low a grade, just like garlic, and calling himself coffee
“When you eat garlic, you just care about how delicious it tastes to you, and don’t care about how bad it smells to others; when you drink coffee, you swallow the bitterness yourself. "Let's spread the fragrance to the world." This sentence by Zhou Libo, the founder of "Shanghai Qingkou" has now become a famous saying among Shanghai people. Mr. Huang, who works in Shanghai, told reporters: "This sentence has become a mantra among the people. Yes, coffee and garlic are two different groups, which shows that neither one can get along with the other.”
The reporter checked online information yesterday and learned that Zhou Libo’s words originated from a reporter’s question about whether he was willing to share the stage with Guo Degang. Performance, he said: "One eats garlic and the other drinks coffee." Alluding to the cultural differences between the northern and southern regions, the performance styles of the two are not consistent, so they cannot perform on the same stage.
Since then, the media has asked Guo Degang questions, but he has always adopted a non-responsive attitude towards this matter.
Guo Degang's new work responds to the "Garlic Theory"
In the "Guo Degang 20th Anniversary Performance Series" held not long ago, old partners Guo Degang and Yu Qian's new work "You Want to Be Elegant" was performed for the first time on stage . The more than 20 minutes of cross talk was full of laughter and curses, and sounded like a "cross talk essay." One of the tongue-in-cheek "Elegance and Vulgarity Theory" won repeated applause from the audience: "Some people say what is elegance and what is vulgarity. Listening to symphonies is said to be elegant, but listening to cross talk is vulgar; listening to celebrity lip-syncing is elegant, watching online originals is vulgar; watching body art is elegant , the couple telling dirty jokes is vulgar; drinking coffee is elegant, eating garlic is vulgar. Mr. Gorky taught us: Go to your grandma’s hairpin.” The reporter checked the full text of the cross talk joke in "You Want to be Elegant". In Guo Degang's concept, it talks about the world. Elegance and vulgarity cannot be judged from the external form. "Elegance and vulgarity are inseparable. Drink coffee with garlic, and the autumn water will always be the same color as the sky. I can smell the smell of scum when sprayed by many elegant people." Come."
After "You Want to Be Elegant" was released, some "sensitive" netizens posted on the forum, believing that Guo Degang was suspected of insinuating Zhou Libo. Netizen "Biyun Xiaoxiaoxi" said: "Garlic The theory was raised by Zhou Libo, and it was about cultural differences. Guo Degang's words seemed to be a retort. "The reporter learned from a colleague in Beijing yesterday that Guo Degang's sentence "Go to your grandma's hairpin" was actually a swear word. "It is not ruled out that he used it. There are funny elements in cross talk, but it is always a dirty word.
