The traditional comic dialogue has long been dying, and Deyun wants to be young forever. “_blank”> Chief View “(ID: sxrenwuguan), author Yin Xiaowan.

“Peach leaves are pointed, and Liu Yeer will cover the sky.” In 2018, Zhang Yunlei ’s guitar version of the late Qing tune “Exploring the Qingshui River” was posted on the Internet. The tune makes the traditional small song lighter, and also makes Zhang Yunlei popular overnight.

Two colors confirm Zhang Yunlei’s strength: “yunlei gray” and “fluorescent green”.

After becoming popular, Zhang Yunlei’s cross talk was full. The ticket page was always gray, and netizens called it “cloud thunder gray”. Brighter and brighter than this is the ever-increasing support of green lights in each performance, as if the concert’s formation once caused discussions about the circle of comic dialogue.

This is an unexpected scene of the older generation of comic actors. The Internet provided fertile ground for the gathering and fission of fans, but Chunfeng brought the seeds to the comic dialogue world.

Zhang Yunlei took the opportunity and began to change his identity from a comic actor to an idol. This year, he released a mini-album “Blue Sky”, which broke through 100,000 copies in one second, and won the QQ Music Day chart on the day of his release. His identity as a “singer” on Weibo has since gained more confidence.

In 2015, Yue Yunpeng adapted “Song of the Peony” to “Song of the Five Rings”, re-written and participated in singing, as the ending song of the film “Pan Pan Xia”.

This is not a new work by Yue Yunpeng. As early as 2011, he put the yet-formed “Songs of the Five Rings” on the stage of cross talks, and the Quyi singing style with eyes closed and affectionate interpretation can always make a laugh. This song also became his repertoire.

Four years later, Pancake Man at 1.1 billion box office sent Song of the Five Rings and Yue Yunpeng to the public. The comic actor who has been a restaurant waiter has been nicknamed “Xiao Yueyue” by fans.

Guo Qi also tried cross-border transformationLin. He was affirmed by his mentor in “I Am an Actor”, and recently appeared in the hit drama “Qing Yu Nian” as a flattering character Fan Shizhe.

As they increasingly bring the “Deyunshe” label with music, Variety shows, performances and other stages, this star-making movement is also getting deeper. There is no doubt that Guo Degang is the originator of this. His career began to blossom everywhere more than a decade ago, and he also has his own fan circle “wire”.

This is one of the ways he continues to perform. Traditional cross talk has long been old, and Deyun Society wants to be young forever.

Since very early days, Deyun has been alien.

Crosstalk or drama, these performances in small theaters have rules: the audience is not allowed to take pictures. If the information is not circulated, interested viewers will have to buy tickets to enter the scene.

But Guo Degang is not.

He realized early that compared to the popularity in the small theater, the Internet platform is the big river and the sea with hidden countless opportunities. He chose to ignore these rules and let the audience take pictures and video.

The result is that those classic cross talks are spreading wildly on the Internet. Guo Degang’s poison tongue and Yu Qian’s smoking and drinking hot head quickly became known, and Deyun’s fame quickly spread.

Finally, Deyun Club not only failed to sell the tickets, but attracted more audiences.

Guo Degang continues to get traffic in his own way. He runs the “Communication Commune” on the Internet, uploading his works regularly. For a period of time, online activity and offline success complemented each other, and Deyun’s position gradually consolidated.

Guo Degang’s ambitions don’t stop there. In 2010, he wrote and directed the film “Legend of Dou Tianbao” for the first time. He also led all members of Deyun Club to participate in the self-directed film “Three Smiling Talents”.

But “Guo’s Humor” seems to be a bit dissatisfied, and the movie ended with a bleak box office price of 7.96 million.

Since then, Deyun has also failed frequently on the road to film and television.

But it also means,Guo Degang was not content with the status quo, and he was a frog at the bottom of the well.

Before it became traffic, Deyun Club had been limping, almost halted. Using Guo Degang’s own words in the book to describe, “step by step, tears of blood, really come out of the forest of swords and guns.”

For a long time, the mainstream of institutional crosstalk was education and chanting.

“Putting on a small suit and putting on a red mouth” is the standard feature of comic actors on TV screens. They are transformed from a folk artist who interacts with the audience face-to-face and become a highly regarded “artist”. A 30- to 40-minute crosstalk in the theater was compressed to about 10 minutes, and the content was mostly polite words, which were more like a collection of auspicious words.

The cross talk was originally an entertainment product that began in the market. When its entertainment function gave way to the meaning of education, it gradually lost its vitality.

When Guo Degang appeared with Deyun Club, the world’s bitter comic dialogue was not funny for a long time.

For challengers, courage and wisdom are indispensable. The crosstalk art originally had turbulent quarrels. After rookie Guo Degang first emerged, the first thing he met was suppression.

During the early performances of Deyun Society, there were often colleagues wearing sunglasses and masks posing as audiences, holding books and pens while listening to the comic dialogue. Once they caught the handle of the talk, they went to the relevant unit to report.

In 2005, Deyun Society became famous, and some people in Beijing’s comic dialogue circles rushed to call for higher authorities to block them.

In February 2006, the comic dialogue industry launched an “anti-three vulgar” movement. Jiang Kun, Liu Lanfang, and other dozens of people in the art industry proposed that they should resist the “three vulgarities” in the comic dialogue, that is, vulgar, vulgar, kitsch. “Culture” represents the siege of Guo Degang and Deyun Society.

Guo Degang did not panic.

He quickly created the crosstalk of “I want to fight against the Three Vulgarities”, and wrote all the remarks that attacked him as a burden, such as “What is a good actor who loses more than one billion viewers, the key is to fight against the Three Vulgarities”, “We all have to be an educator, how serious the world is,” ironically, ironically, and ridiculed in an official tone.

As for his opponents who are sad about him, he will report. He uses the homophony to refer to his people in crosstalk.Ironically, the performance is wonderful.

The hardships and absurdities of the real world are the best nutrients for artistic creation.

Guo Degang killed a bloody road, cross talk is still his most powerful weapon. Later, he created the classic “On the Status Quo of Crosstalk for Fifty Years” and “Spring Festival Gala” by Hunchun Evening. These three crosstalks were regarded as “the battle between rivers and lakes and temples” Iconic event. Compared to the weak main theme crosstalk, Guo Degang’s language is like a dazzling blade.

Compared to the weak main theme crosstalk, Guo Degang’s language is like a cold, sharp blade, and the traffic comes from it.

The general environment is beginning to change. Since 2006, with the popularity of Deyun Society, Beijing’s private crosstalk small groups increased to more than thirty. In 2007, Guo Degang acquired the Tianqiaole Theater, and Deyun Club became the first private cross talk group with its own theater in China. After ten years of running, he finally brought the cross talk back to the small theater.

However, he doesn’t just abandon tradition.

Guo Degang’s basic skills in learning to sing and laugh are very solid. Beijing Opera, Xunzi Opera and Ping Ju are all good. In the comic dialogue “Lenin in 1918”, he performed the Leting Drum, Bamboo Tablet, Lotus Fall, Ping Ju “Turn Back”, “Bone Bones”, and adapted it into a Ping Ju version, which rhymes and burdens constantly. You’ve reached your end.

Based on tradition, Guo Degang is not ancient. As of 2006, Deyun News had unearthed more than 600 endangered crosstalk programs.

In inheritance, he is also good at innovation.

Taking the traditional cross talk “Dream of the West” as an example, Duan Zi originally said that during the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising troops fought the army, and Guo Degang replaced the US president to hire himself to fight terrorism. The framework has not undergone major changes, but the new adaptation not only aligns with modern society, but also does not contradict the situation, making young audiences shine.

Guo Degang also moved into modern society, as well as the traditional cross talk apprenticeship system.

Guo Degang believes that hand-to-hand teaching is the best way to teach cross talk. “Three years of apprenticeship, two years of effectiveness”, from crosstalk skills to teaching life, the growth of apprentices should be embedded in the maintenance of teacher-apprentice relationship.

When dealing with the relationship between master and apprentice, Guo Degang also reveals the ethics of Confucianism in his bones. On the stage, the apprentice can hang himself, but after stepping down, he must pay attention to the apprenticeship. They live and eat together, and the apprentices need to serve Master and take care of housework and smoking.

In addition, the rules of the archeology of worshiping ancestors after taking office after the liberation have been activated by Guo Degang and are still in use today. Deyun’s backstage set up an ancestral ancestor. In addition to daily worship, members must incense on the first and fifteenth of the first day.

Guo Degang has been poor, and has been poor for a long time.

He organized the “Beijing Crosstalk Conference” in 1995. For eight years, he humbled and walked around tea houses in Beijing and lived a life of chaos. In 2003, Deyun Society settled in the old street near the overpass and changed its name to Deyun Society.

It was a cold winter, and there were few people near Deyun. Guo Degang took the member pestle at the door, slamming the board, and yelling at the guests. “Listen to crosstalk!” At the most exaggerated time, a crosstalk actor was facing an audience. Speaking alone, I stopped temporarily when the audience answered the phone.

Unable to make money, Guo Degang tried to find a way to make up for it.

In 2003, he participated in a series of 4,000 yuan remuneration to participate in the Anhui TV station variety show “Super Winner”. He went into a transparent glass window in the downtown area of ​​Hefei and lived for 48 hours.

Guo Degang later described the experience with “engraving”.

It said that the first 4,000 yuan will eventually become 1,000 yuan. Later, the program group was unwilling to pay even 1,000 yuan. After becoming famous, he learned that a host of the show group asserted to investors: “Don’t use Guo Degang, he will never be popular.” He lost this opportunity to make money.

The dilemma runs through the early days of Deyun ’s story—because he could n’t afford a car, he walked back from the city to Daxing on foot after having a show in the middle of the night.

Later, All these hardships were put into the crosstalk section by Guo Degang . In 2008, he created the “I” word series, including “I’m tossing”, “I’m going to get married”, “I’m going to struggle” and so on. Among them, “My Life” mentioned: “I” no longer need to walk on foot, but instead stomp on his heels, put on four rings and hang behind the big truck.

It can be said that the “I” series is the key work for Guo Degang’s success.

The self-deprecating tempered by suffering has the power to move people’s hearts.

Different from Beijing ’s “Seven Prime Ministers in front of the prime minister”, Tianjin Xiangsheng is longer than self-mockery than ridicule others. Therefore, Guo Degang borrowed the bones of Tianjin Crosstalk and used the flesh of Beijing Crosstalk to build his own crosstalk system.

Under the stage, he bases himself on the bottom life he experienced; on the stage, he pretends to be a little man “I”, talks about his bitter experience, laughs and scolds, and has both form and spirit.

However, in contrast to Guo Degang’s eternal popularity on the stage, he has been criticized in real life.
Deyunshe embraces traffic These questions and scoldings grew out of his fame and eventually fell on his temper-this is the topic that most resonates.

Guo Degang is not perfect. Perfect is not the state of life he seeks.

He was rude, and had a tough attitude in the beatings in Taiwan in 2010. He also blamed the other party for “not talking, forgetting to talk, talking big, making a small unit of money, quite a flat”;

He decided to turn his back on his apprentices and peers, disregarding decentness and the past. In 2010, he told the “Tonight” reporter: People in the comic industry are not cheap, they are cheap.

But those who understand him will say that this is a life force.

Xu Deliang, who fled from the Deyun Society, once described Guo Degang as a “wild dog”, “He is not kind, but he has survived in a society where it is difficult to describe it with good or evil, and is biting in the battle with similar He made a reinforced iron bone. He didn’t hide his desire for bones. Whether it was a group of bad-hearted people or a group of dogs fighting for food, he decided to face it and flew forward. Wild dogs all It’s wolfish, and it has a perseverance that never swears. “

“To learn to be a dog”, “Don’t talk about becoming an artist first, try to be a dog first”, this is what Guo Degang often warns his disciples. Eating this bowl of rice, you must break your self-esteem and live in peace with ridicule, scorn, and trample.

Successful in the niche area, hit the iron while hot, quickly get involved in the film and television industry, expand influence and push newcomers. In the past few years, Kaixin Twist, Benshan Media, and Deyun have chosen this “out of the circle” path.

In an era of booming film and television, this is the best way to snowball fame and wealth.

Take cross talk as an example. This was originally a highly regional art, with fans mostly concentrated in the north, more specifically in the Beijing-Tianjin area. With the help of film and television works, Guo Degang and his disciples can be known more-in the southern region, many people first met Guo Degang on TV, and then heard his cross talk on the Internet.

After getting on the free ride, Guo Degang chased after the victory, and he also knew how to follow the trend.

In the past few years, he has been participating in more than 20 movies and TV shows crazy. This year, when the film and television industry as a whole entered the winter, many traffic stars have lost their jobs, and he has also shifted his focus to variety shows. The media is not important. It is enough to push Deyun’s disciples into the public eye and become a flow with influence and appeal.

On October 30 this year, Guo Degang announced on Weibo that in 2020, the Deyun Community “Deyun for the Laughing Club” will be launched. Slogan does not hide his embrace of the traffic era. “The new traffic successor is coming As a result, Deyun Club was teased as “the first crosstalk group in Asia.”

However, in the year when “traffic star” became a derogatory term in the entertainment industry, the slogan of “traffic successor” also seemed to be complicated.

Guo Degang was once bitten by traffic. In 2006, the Tibetan secret oil tea he endorsed was exposed as a counterfeit and inferior product by CCTV 315, and the credit crisis caused by it has not been completely resolved.

Today, the use of traffic requires more skill.

On the one hand, the flow operation can bring greater influence and richer income to Deyun Club, but at the same time, the flow may also affect the performance form, and even become a constraint for content creation.

For example, when Zhang Yunlei sang “Exploring the Clear Water River”, he changed the “sold couple sells big smoke” in the original song to “two couples Luopingchuan” to cater to the public and eliminate the risk of censorship.

A similar caution may become more common in the future-policies are tightening and regulations are becoming more stringent. In August this year, a law enforcement brigade supervised the Deyun Club cross talks, and immediately stopped performances on the grounds of vulgarity. Recently, the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Tourism has drafted relevant opinion drafts, and intends to strengthen the review of rap, immersive performances, talk shows, cross talks and other programs.

Survival is always the first priority of Guo Degang and Deyun Society.

He already made a choice. He said a long time ago, “You need to know that you are an artist, not that you are an anti-system elite. This is too wrong.”

Some people have counted the main ingredients of Guo Degang’s cross talk joke in the heyday: “40% of traditional crosstalk, 40% of traditional crosstalk re-creation, 10% at the teacher’s house, 10% shit.”
