On Guo Degang's birthday in 2010, his protégé Cao Yunjin gave him a "big surprise", and the two had a fierce dispute after getting drunk.
It has been 12 years since Cao Yunjin resolutely left Guo Degang, how is his life now?
Cao Yunjin was born in 1986, and his hometown of Tianjin is famous for its allegro and cross talk.
In such a strong artistic atmosphere, Cao Yunjin has had a strong interest in cross talk since he was a child, and often practices secretly in uninhabited corners.
Due to the early death of his father, he is dependent on his mother and has a somewhat withdrawn personality. Practicing cross talk alone allowed him to find himself again.
Cao Yunjin's real name is Cao Jin, and because of his withdrawn personality during school, he seemed a little unsociable, and his grades were not satisfactory.
After his mother found out that he had a talent for cross talk, she immediately decided to send him to learn art.
When he was 15 years old, he began to formally study systematic cross talk, and the teacher who led him to get started at that time was Tian Lihe, the sixth generation of the cross talk family.
Due to his extraordinary talent, coupled with his withdrawn personality, he was rejected by many of his peers.
In the following year, through a friend's introduction, he went to Beijing alone to learn art with Guo Degang.
Guo Degang cared about Cao Yunjin as if he were his own son, so he arranged for him to live in his own home.
He pays attention to Cao Yunjin's moral education, not only teaching the art of cross talk, but also focusing on cultivating his ability to live independently.
Cross talk is an oral performance art, which originates from life and is rooted in the folk form.
Guo Degang often took Cao Yunjin to walk the streets and alleys, they paid attention to the bits and pieces of people's daily life, wrote scripts with heart, captured some interesting plots, and woven them into interesting anecdotes that made people laugh.
Guo Degang often reminded Cao Yunjin to observe the language, demeanor and actions of different people, and imitate them to achieve a vivid effect, in addition to that.
Cao Yunjin would perform a show for Guo Degang every day, and then Guo Degang would comment on his performance and make suggestions, and then Cao Yunjin would add and make corrections based on those suggestions.
If Cao Yunjin's performance can make Guo Degang and his wife laugh, it means that his performance is qualified;If you can't, you'll need to make changes and redo the performance.
At that time, Cao Yunjin had to revise the script every day, because it was incomplete and often the connection was not tight.
Slowly, he was able to compile a relatively complete paragraph, and then he was already at his fingertips.
Cao Yunjin is no longer submissive, but has become confident and generous.
However, despite his desire for the opportunity to make his official debut, he never got his wish.
Therefore, he began to complain and consider himself not systematically trained.
In 2004, the cross talk industry ushered in a period of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending, Guo Degang worshiped under the family of performing arts Hou Yaowen, and in the same year, the Beijing cross talk conference was reorganized into the Deyun Club we are now familiar with.
After Cao Yunjin's performance, he didn't go to bed right away. Instead, he sat outside the courtyard in a daze.
At this time, Guo Degang got up to drink water, and when he saw Cao Yunjin, who looked lonely and lonely in the moonlight, he asked him why he didn't sleep yet.
Cao Yunjin lowered his voice and said: "Since I started learning cross talk, my mother has supported me without regrets. She used all her salary to pay for my cross talk tuition, and I haven't had a chance to repay her so far.
Whenever I saw her lonely back when she left, I felt guilty. I don't know if it's because I'm not up to the level of acting in my hometown, or if it's something else. ”
Guo Degang said: "It's not that I don't want to take you, your talent is outstanding, and your cross talk performance is also very good." The reason why I didn't take you right away is because I want you to learn to stabilize your emotions.
In Deyun Club, pay attention to both cultivation and talent, skills are important, and moral cultivation is also indispensable.
Over the years, we have watched you grow and know your potential.
Your studies are nearing the end and I have decided to start teaching you the true traditions!”
In order to think about his apprentices, Guo Degang began to take Cao Yunjin around to perform, often only drinking a sip of water a day and being so tired that sometimes he couldn't even take care of eating, he could only barely sleep for two or three hours a day, and sometimes he was already sleepy when he was dressed.
Constantly rushing to perform, the income of Deyun Club is becoming more and more considerable, Guo Degang began to expand the scale of Deyun Club, and he gained every point of hard work. To relieve fatigue.
Guo Degang's cross talk has become unique in the field of cross talk, and Cao Yunjin's fame is also expanding day by day.
In order to promote Cao Yunjin's career to a higher level, Guo Degang even put down his body and volunteered to be Cao Yunjin's support.
Whenever it comes to Deyun Club, Guo Degang and Cao Yunjin are all known.
Not annoyed by less, but because it's unfair.
Deyun Club's income is evenly divided, and Cao Yunjin has already bought a house and a car in Beijing, but he is beginning to become more and more dissatisfied, showing an increasingly impatient attitude, and disdainful of everyone other than Guo Degang and Wang Hui.
Cao Yunjin often took on private work without authorization, ignoring the regulations of Deyun Club, although Guo Degang's persuasion was ineffective, he chose to turn a blind eye.
Guo Degang later rectified the order of the community and formulated many regulations, including prohibiting members from taking jobs in private.
Cao Yunjin felt that this severely restricted his freedom and infringed on his personal interests, and was dissatisfied, especially because he would face a fine of up to 1 million yuan for violating the regulations.
Cao Yunjin believes that he has taken on the important responsibility of Deyun Club, but he unfairly shares the income with others, which is unreasonably unacceptable.
Guo Degang's plan is to expand Deyun Club and cultivate more talents like "Cao Yunjin". The ideas between master and apprentice gradually diverged.
In a performance in 2009, Cao Yunjin and Yue Yunpeng appeared on stage together.
Xiao Yueyue is born with a sense of joy, his sturdy body and humorous personality, coupled with smart eyebrows and eyes, often attract the audience to laugh in the audience.
Cao Yunjin looked serious and played the role seriously, while Xiao Yueyue was only a young man in his early 20s at the time, with a childish appearance.
While Cao Yunjin performed, Xiao Yueyue made a grimace backstage to amuse to create a more lively atmosphere.
His demeanor was in stark contrast to Cao Yunjin, provoking an enthusiastic reaction from the audience.
Cao Yunjin was at a loss, turned his head to look, and found that the situation was different, and suddenly felt angry.
When Xiao Yueyue interjected to introduce his identity while he was performing, he felt even more disrespected, so he angrily wanted to choke Xiao Yueyue's neck.
This incident deeply affected the audience, and Cao Yunjin became the focus of many controversies for a while.
Although Guo Degang responded in a timely manner claiming that it was just for the performance effect, the joke between the brothers and sisters was irreparable. It's like a broken mirror, and even if you put it back together, it won't be as good as it was before.
At the birthday party in 2010, the relationship between Cao Yunjin and Guo Degang officially cracked.
In 2010, Deyun Club was controversial and was on the cusp of the storm.
Guo Degang's apprentice beat the reporter in an uproar, and Guo Degang's efforts to protect his apprentice also caused some criticism, resulting in many works of Deyun Club being taken off the shelves.
Deyun Club was suddenly in a predicament, and everyone was worried.
On Guo Degang's birthday, everyone gathered together to toast and celebrate, but they didn't see Cao Yunjin.
Everyone knew that there were people sitting at the entire table, and only one seat was empty, and that was reserved for Cao Yunjin.
When the banquet was about to end, Cao Yunjin's face was flushed, and he strode in, reprimanding the juniors and disciples, and then criticized the juniors and brothers, telling about the grievances he had suffered in Guo Degang's family and Deyun Club over the years.
In the end, he knelt in front of Guo Degang and swore that he had decided to leave Deyun Club and would never come back.
The master Wang Hui hurriedly knelt down and begged the apprentice not to be impulsive, because this is the birthday of **, and everyone should get along with each other peacefully.
She also expressed her hope that everyone would not leave to join others because of the crisis in Deyun Club. Seeing that an apprentice was about to rush forward to beat Cao Yunjin, he couldn't pull it.
Subsequently, Guo Degang tearfully performed the classic "Weiyang Palace" with Yu Qian, and the apprentice's withdrawal from the club was obviously unexpected by Guo Degang.
He has long regarded Cao Yunjin as his own son and the future ** person, but he can't change this situation at this moment.
In the moment of disappointment, Guo Degang still had ardent expectations, hoping that his proud protégé would be able to return to Deyun Club.
The following year, Cao Yunjin rejoined the Deyun Society, but left again soon after.
After Cao Yunjin left Deyun Club, he immediately founded his own cross talk group, Tingyunxuan.
Subsequently, many of the backbones of Deyun Club were poached one after another. With the reputation and fan base accumulated in Deyun Club, their career is thriving.
During that time, Tingyunxuan almost reached the point where it could be compared to Deyun Club.
In 2012, Cao Yunjin and his partner Liu Yuntian made their debut at the Spring Festival Gala and performed the cross talk work "Struggle".
In 2013, Cao Yunjin and his partner Liu Yuntian appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and presented the audience with a cross talk program "This is not bad for me" that is very close to life.
They collaborated with the same partner to co-star in "Say What You're Good" in 2014.
Cao Yunjin has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala more times than Guo Degang, which makes him more arrogant and domineering.
Cao Yunjin can be described as infinite scenery at the moment, and major programs have invited him to the stage.
During that time, he became a resident guest of happy comedians, and appeared on the Tucao Conference, publicly criticizing his mentor Guo Degang.
Despite his young age, he served as a judge and mentor in "Chinese Comedy Star", and he successfully led many teams to achieve very good results with his outstanding level.
The "I Am the Great Detective" and the CCTV cross talk contest he participated in brought a lot of happiness to the audience with his witty and humorous style.
Cao Yunjin is not limited to cross talk performances, he has also set foot in the entertainment industry.
His performance is very vivid, whether it is cross talk performance, storytelling or singing, he can play any role with ease, and once the limelight overshadowed Deyun Club.
In 2016, Guo Degang re-published the Deyun family tree and officially removed Cao Yunjin.
This is also the first time that Guo Degang has publicly criticized Cao Yunjin's behavior of bullying teachers and destroying ancestors.
Subsequently, Cao Yunjin immediately published an article of more than 6,000 words to fight back, detailing the unfair treatment he suffered back then, which directly led to the complete breakdown of the relationship between the two.
The master and apprentice had a heated debate on Weibo, which aroused the interest of many netizens who followed them, and the controversy continued for a while.
Although netizens have overwhelmingly criticized Cao Yunjin, it has also brought him a wave of traffic.
Cao Yunjin showed his acting strength in the same year with the role of security captain Jiang Wenhua in the TV series "Blossoming Mountain Township".
He vividly portrayed Jiang Wenhua, a short-sighted, profit-oriented and slightly obscene character.
Cao Yunjin no longer focuses on the original intention of learning cross talk, but pays more attention to how to obtain more wealth.
Cao Yunjin left Deyun Club and gained a huge fortune with his own strength.
Although he is known as the "judge", Cao Yunjin has done a very good job in filial piety to his mother.
He often bought all kinds of imported health products for his mother and bought her a mansion to live in.
even said in the show that he hoped to earn a lot of money to support his mother, and specially bought a car for her to facilitate travel.
In 2017, Cao Yunjin admitted his relationship with actress Tang Yun;
In 2018, Tang Yun gave birth to a baby girl;In June 2019, they announced that they divorced peacefully due to personality incompatibility.
According to information revealed by an entertainment journalist, during his wife's pregnancy, there were rumors that he had an ambiguous relationship with other people.
Later, he claimed in public that all his wife's pregnancy and confinement expenses were paid for by himself, and that he did not follow the rules after the birth of the child.
After Cao Yunjin's divorce, he showed his wealth even more unabashedly.
According to Zhuo Wei's team, in 2018, Cao Yunjin and a tall, youthful and beautiful woman entered the Shangri-La Hotel in Tianjin, spent a day and a night together, and left the hotel together the next day.
He used rude words on the show, verbally attacked the hostess, showed an arrogant and rude attitude towards the director while acting, and even got into a fight when he had a conflict with others on the street.
After Cao Yunjin's various scandals**, netizens' comments on him poured in.
Coupled with the previous act of abandoning the division commander, Cao Yunjin has already been discredited and irretrievable.
Although he later clarified on the show that it was because of that person's insulting words and repeated insults to his mother that he couldn't bear to do it, he still failed to get everyone's forgiveness.
Cao Yunjin's private life was ** by one thing after another, so that his every move was hidden, but he did not restrain his personality, nor did he hide his sharpness.
Yun Xuan is facing the fate of bankruptcy, he tries to regain his strength, but the long-term commercial performances make his team insufficient, and the audience is not willing to pay, and he feels powerless in the face of ** pressure.
Observing the situation of Deyun Club, they continue to cultivate new people, resulting in the seniority has extended to "clouds and cranes, nine clouds, dragons and four seas".
There are also many talents emerging within the company, and it is not uncommon for young people to surpass their predecessors.
Xiao Yueyue was almost choked by Cao Yunjin back then, and now he has become a household name.
Cao Yunjin no longer had the courage to perform on stage because of the collapse of his personality, so he began to engage in live broadcasting.
When he first started bringing goods, the traffic in the live broadcast room soared, but he was scolded and he had no choice but to quit the live broadcast room. His life became difficult due to the loss of a stable economy**.
Perhaps what makes Cao Yunjin feel heavy is not just the failure of life and marriage.
Cao Yunjin may have gradually begun to understand the true meaning of life in the trough of life, and when he looks back, he may regret his youthful frivolity.
For the sake of fame and fortune, he abandoned his original intention, and even hid his talent in the dust.
And the teacher who once worked hard to cultivate himself has now become his enemy, which can be regarded as a failure.
Perhaps for Cao Yunjin, other people's words don't matter, but he may never be able to overcome his inner troubles.
In this world, people cannot be alone, there will always be some people and some fetters that make us feel the warmth of life.
Cao Yunjin once confided in his heart after drinking at a party with friends, and admitted that although he is now rich in material wealth, he often misses the time in Deyun Club.
Although the living conditions were difficult at that time, it was the happiest time for him.
Cao Yunjin's current situation is embarrassing, he was once a smash hit, and even got the opportunity to be praised by his mentor Guo Degang himself.
However, now, he not only failed to pass on the mastery of cross talk, but also bore the accusation of "destroying teachers and destroying ancestors". On the other hand, the current situation is really touching.
Cao Yunjin may regret his mistake for the rest of his life, but unfortunately, there is no regret cure in the world.
Only by keeping the original intention in mind can we stick to it to the end. This is the advice that Cao Yunjin gives to everyone from his own experience.
