1. I just like cross talk

In 1986, Cao Yunjin was born in Tianjin. In this city, which is nicknamed as a city where everyone can speak cross talk, he has been involved in various folk arts since he was a child.

There is a radio at home. "There are piles and piles of cross talk tapes in the house." His favorites are old gentlemen such as Ma Sanli and Hou Baolin, who never tire of listening to them.

Cao Yunjin has been naughty since he was a child and is not a good student. He said: "I just like cross talk and study cross talk wholeheartedly." He was born for cross talk.

When Cao Yunjin was 9 years old, he encountered family changes. That year, my father suffered from a strange illness and could not sleep. He would gasp for breath when he lay down and could only sit all day long. The family of three traveled to major hospitals in Beijing and Tianjin, but their condition did not improve at all.

After his father passed away, Cao Yunjin and his mother depended on each other.

One day, Cao Yunjin turned on the TV, and Liu Baorui's "Official Battle" was playing. Cao Yunjin watched it with great interest and even imitated it. His mother said, "You love listening to cross talk so much, do you want to learn it?"

"If you want to learn, find me a master."

"Who do you want to learn cross talk from?"

"Both Mr. Ma Zhiming and Tian Lihe are fine."

My mother "does not support or oppose". Later, at his insistence, the trustee found Tian Lihe, who became his first teacher.

During this period, Cao Yunjin’s mother sacrificed a lot: In order to support him in learning skills, her mother worked three jobs a day, washing dishes in a restaurant in the morning, doing part-time work in the afternoon, and bringing handicrafts home to do in the evening.

Mother and son depend on each other for life, and Cao Yunjin has a deep relationship with his mother.

In 2015, a piece of news dominated the headlines of major websites: "Cao Yunjin fought with people in the street." At that time, Cao Yunjin had a conflict with someone, fought in the street, and even picked up a chair to beat each other. The whole process was photographed by the paparazzi who had been following him for three days.

As soon as the news came out, Cao Yunjin became the target of public criticism. But in fact, it was the other party who insulted his mother first, and he got into a fight regardless of his status as a public figure:

“I can’t forgive you for scolding my mother and insulting my family in front of me. ", "I will not allow anyone to stand in front of me and insult her."

He is a public figure, but he is also a son.

2. I thought Guo Degang was a liar

In 2002, 16-year-old Cao Yunjin came to Beijing alone and took refuge with Guo Degang.

When he first arrived, Cao Yunjin was confused. When I first saw my master: "I knocked on the door, and a fat black man stuck his head out. I walked in, and for the first time I clearly understood what it meant to be a family disciple. At that time, I thought my master Guo Degang was a liar."

At that time, Guo Degang was also poor.

On the day Cao Yunjin came, Guo Degang happened to buy a new TV. When he turned it on, the screen was purple and broken.

Cao Yunjin volunteered: "It's okay, I can practice it, it's simple." He unplugged the plug and shook the TV. After a while, when he turned it on again, there was a "boom" and the TV exploded.

Guo Degang was not angry. He sat on the sofa and smiled: "Master, is this what you have completed?"

The two of them had a bad start. But from meeting to becoming famous, the master and the apprentice went through hardships and difficulties, and the master and apprentice once had a deep love.

Cao Yunjin lived in his master's house for three years. In the past three years, the two have moved many times. There are two things that particularly annoy their landlord:

Firstly, Guo Degang snores very loudly, and the landlord often comes to ask: "Can you control your snoring?" "; Secondly, when the crosstalkers are happy, they start playing allegro, which is too noisy.

Back then, moving was a part of life.

The first time he moved out, Cao Yunjin lived in He Yunwei's house. This is a storage room. How small is this room? Cao Yunjin once recalled: "Lying on the bed, you can see the four corners when you open your eyes, just like living in a coffin."

After living there for a year, Cao Yunjin moved to a basement in Zhang Dewu. The problem with this house is that it is damp. There is a heating pipe in the basement. It drips water at noon. There is a musty smell when the door is opened. The clothes cannot be dried at all. Cao Yunjin also has patches of eczema on his body.

"How wet is it? Anyway, after I wiped the table in the morning, I wiped it in the evening and the table was covered with hair."

What’s even worse is that Cao Yunjin and He Yunwei had to perform for two weeks in a row to get 40 yuan. He hadn’t eaten meat in half a year.

During these difficult years, the only motivation that supported him in learning cross talk was his love: "I told myself that as long as I am hungry, I will keep talking."

The temper of adversity allowed Cao Yunjin to grow rapidly. In the four years from 2006 to 2010, he became the mainstay of Deyun Society. In his own words: "I supported half of Deyun Society."

3. I can’t eat enough

However, behind the success is the break between Cao Yunjin and Guo Degang.

At Guo Degang’s birthday party in 2010, Cao Yunjin expressed all his dissatisfaction.

On this day, Guo Degang specially reserved a place for him on his big round table, but Cao Yunjin was late.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked: "Where should I sit?" Guo Degang ignored him. He found a seat and sat down. After eating for a while, he took the cup and went outside to find his brothers. He went to the table and lectured one by one. He scolds people and then leaves after cursing them.

Someone came to pull Cao Yunjin away, and he shouted: "Why don't I leave? I don't have enough food, I don't have enough to eat."

Before leaving, he faced the statue of Guan Gong Bow down: "I, Cao Yunjin, would be a fool if I left Deyun Club and came back."

This is the concentrated outburst of Cao Yunjin’s dissatisfaction with Guo Degang for many years!

Guo Degang suppressed the anger in his heart and did not explode. After Cao Yunjin left, he also went on stage to sing a section of "Weiyang Palace": "King Chu Ping acted unjustly and ruined the wife of Chang's father. >

Guo Degang was crying, crying blood every word, full of grief and indignation, and stared at Yu Qian beside him. The audience sensed something was wrong and wanted to interrupt the performance with applause, but failed. Guo Degang suppressed his anger.

There are two main reasons why Cao Yunjin "defected":

First, Cao Yunjin participated in CCTV's cross talk competition in 2006 and successfully entered the finals. Guo Degang did not give any reason. When he was asked to withdraw from the competition, Cao Yunjin believed that the master was afraid that his wings would be hardened after winning the award; secondly, Deyun Club's performance income implemented a 20-80 splitting system. After he and He Yunwei became famous, their wages would still be only about 2,000 yuan. "The Laughing Talent and Beautiful Lady" did not pay for the film, and when Deyunshe's commercial performance income reached hundreds of thousands, Cao Yunjin still only received a few hundred yuan.

On the eve of his "defection from his master", Cao Yunjin was banned and could not get any performances.

In fact, Cao Yunjin was not the only one who broke up with Guo Degang. Xu Deliang, Wang Wenlin, He Yunwei, Li Jing... all were key members of Deyun Society.

However, the person who "teared" Guo Degang the most was Cao Yunjin.

After leaving Deyun Club, Cao Yunjin and Guo Degang only crossed paths once. According to Cao Yunjin: During the 2013 Spring Festival Gala review program, the two met by chance at the gate of CCTV. Cao Yunjin wanted to go up and say hello, but Guo Degang walked away without even raising his head.

I once loved father and son, but in the future I will treat them as enemies.

After leaving Deyun Club, Cao Yunjin did gain a lot of resources. He attended the Spring Festival Gala three times in a row, which brought him great popularity. He also took the opportunity to build his own team and founded Tingyun. Xuan, competing with Deyun Society.

However, Cao Yunjin is an expert at committing suicide.

4. Become a staple of the Spring Festival Gala

From 2012 to 2014, Cao Yunjin appeared on the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years, including "Struggle", "It's Not My Thing", "What Are You Saying?" "Good", and collaborated with Liu Yuntian on three cross talk works in a row, which attracted the attention of the audience and opened up the popularity.

However, while the Spring Festival Gala brought fame to Cao Yunjin, it also brought countless controversies, the biggest controversy being "plagiarism".

In "It's Not My Thing", Cao Yunjin talks about the new "three obediences and four virtues" for contemporary women: never considerate, never gentle, never unreasonable, never talk, hit, scold, or offend;

He also quoted Zhen Huan Ti:

My little master has always been beautiful and pretty. Recently, due to all the complicated things, I have been feeling unwell and my appearance has become a little haggard. I owe this servant to my little master for many years of rain and dew. , I feel melancholy every time I think about it, so I specially prepare it with delicious food. It happens that the emperor has just sent the finest spicy ingredients from foreign countries as tribute, and the slave secretly thinks that it will be great if the little master uses it. I don’t know what my little idea is. How about next?

After watching the entire show, many viewers not only did not laugh once, but also raised questions: Haven’t they seen these jokes online before?

In the "Tucao Conference", Li Dan also satirized Cao Yunjin on the spot: Teacher Cao, does your cross talk need someone to write it? Is the internet disconnected at home this year? Have you finished copying the "Jokes" you purchased?

After the Spring Festival Gala, some media interviewed Cao Yunjin: "Some people questioned that some of your crosstalk this year were jokes from the Internet and lacked new ideas. What do you think?"

Cao Yunjin replied : "When I create a cross talk work, I will definitely draw lessons from the Internet, including my master Guo Degang and colleagues, who all go back and use the power of the Internet. There are good materials, why waste them?"

< p>In Cao Yunjin's view, he did not simply plagiarize the jokes, but reprocessed them twice, "removing, washing, and making new ones again." By reprocessing the materials, the jokes on the Internet became his own cross talk.

As for whether it is funny or not, Cao Yunjin can only say, "The audience has high demands, and we have to keep up." But his speed was too fast: the script for the 2014 Spring Festival Gala production "What's Good About You" was completed in only three days.

Can a work that is not polished with concentration and heart make the audience scream? Perhaps Cao Yunjin, who has missed the Spring Festival Gala since 2014, has already figured out the answer: works that do not arouse the audience's excitement and are not funny will never be recognized.

Interestingly, Cao Yunjin was very enthusiastic: "If I have the opportunity, I would like to stand on it and be a 'nail house' in the Spring Festival Gala."

However, he never Opportunity. If you don't respect the audience, you will be abandoned by the audience.

5. Come over and chat without sleeping

In 2015, the crew of "Arrow of Love" complained that Cao Yunjin was acting like a big star; it was also the same year that he got into a fight in the street; in 2018, it was exposed on the Internet He is suspected of cheating in marriage.

In addition, Deyunshe's business is booming, and Yue Yunpeng, Guo Qilin, Qin Xiaoxian, Zhang Yunlei, Zhang Jiunan, Meng Hetang and others are taking charge of their own affairs; in contrast, Cao Yunjin, whose reputation is getting worse and worse, gradually disappears and has difficulty doing anything.

The popularity brought to him by the Spring Festival Gala was all converted into denunciation and scolding, and he became a fighter among scumbags.

Therefore, when the Beijing Spring Festival Gala sent him an invitation to host, many netizens left negative comments.

However, when we re-examine the contradiction between Cao Yunjin and Guo Degang, and re-evaluate Cao Yunjin’s cross talk, we will find that Cao Yunjin is the most capable disciple of Guo Degang, and he is the one who is most like Guo Degang. people.

In 2010, Cao Yunjin, who had just left Deyun Club, performed at the Victory Cinema, where he met an announcer named Liu Lianxi. Two months later, Liu Lianxi became his first apprentice.

From then on, Liu Lianxi often ran to Cao Yunjin's house. Even at 11 o'clock at night, Cao Yunjin would call: "Are you asleep? Come and chat if you didn't sleep." The two often chatted until late at night. Cao Yunjin would open the sofa bed in the study and take out the Toothbrushes and towels were provided. There were two masters and apprentices living in the two bedrooms.

In the first year of his apprenticeship, Liu Lianxi spent 70% of his nights on his master's sofa bed.

When there are no performances, the two often go to the market to buy seafood, toys, and green plants. Once, Cao Yunjin was walking and suddenly stood in front of a fish tank and was happy. He pointed at the fish and said to Liu Lianxi: "This fish looks like you."

The goldfish has a fat head and a fat brain, and is indeed somewhat similar to Liu Lianxi. After buying the fish, Liu Lianxi became the one who changed the water for the fish.

Eating and living together is just like the master and apprentice who shared the same joys and sorrows and had a deep relationship 8 years ago.

In the "Tucao Conference", Cao Yunjin once imitated Guo Degang:

"What I hate most is the kind of person who doesn't know anything and just stands up and advises you to be more generous. You Do you know what I've been through?

You have to stay away from this kind of person, because when he is struck by lightning, he will easily hurt you. If he stabs you twice, you will still be bleeding. When it was clean, he came over and said, "You have to stand up bravely." You are alive and well.

We can see too many shadows of Guo Degang in Cao Yunjin. After staying in Guomen for 8 years, he has developed a lot of skills and learned every word and deed from his master.

During the three years of relationship with his master under the same roof, Cao Yunjin unknowingly inherited his master's legacy.

What would he have achieved if he had not "defected his master" and had not broken with his master?

In any case, the achievements must be higher than now. Unfortunately, Cao Yunjin in reality has gradually become mediocre.

In Hengdian, two cleaning aunts once met Cao Yunjin in the elevator: "Oh, I really like you. I'd love to see your show."

Cao Yunjin smiled brightly: "Thank you."

"You did a great job in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", you played Er Kang."

Cao Yunjin was very embarrassed: "No, that was taken by me in 1996."

In an instant, he fell from a popular star to a passerby with a celebrity face. This is a true portrayal of Cao Yunjin.
