Time flies so fast, and there are ups and downs in this circle, and everyone has their own experiences. In the colorful entertainment industry, some people become an instant hit, while others disappear from the screen to chase their own voices. Today, we would like to introduce to you a very popular "foreign comedy star" - Dashan. His works have a strong resonance with his love for Chinese culture, his love for cultural exchange, and the changes of time. Let's go into the mountains together to explore his ups and downs but full of true feelings.
During this year's Spring Festival, CCTV's Spring Festival Gala "Happy Dialect" program set off a nationwide upsurge about "mountains". This "foreign comedy star" who once shined at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala has rarely appeared on the screen in recent years, how have people changed his life?
What makes everyone pay attention to him is not only his funny talent, but also his in-depth understanding of Chinese culture and his unique "cultural export" in the world. Dashan's life has left the glory of the stage, and he has devoted all his energy to poetry appreciation and the exchange of Chinese and Western cultures.
Dashan's love for China can be traced back to the 20s of the 20th century, when his grandfather, a physician, came to China and passed on warmth and love to the locals. That touching past is also Dashan's first impression of China. At the age of 19, in order to find his "roots", he came to China alone. This trip introduced him to traditional Chinese comedy and began his unusual life in China.
In the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, he became an instant hit with the song "Night Return". But he was not satisfied, and he worshipped the famous Chinese cross talk artist Jiang Kun as his teacher. This choice was doubted by the cross talk world, but Dashan showed the world with his performance that foreigners can also break out of the world in the cross talk world. However, as time went on, his acting career was not so smooth.
Dashan's performance fell into a "bottleneck", which made him find that the original TV talk show had long since left the land of reality and became an empty and boring thing. Therefore, he is determined to get out of his circle and go to be a host, dubbing, drama, film, and TV series. It is this courageous attitude that has made him a key figure in the cultural exchange between China and Canada.
Although his career has reached its peak, he is not bound by fame and wealth. He retired from the entertainment industry and devoted more energy to the cultural exchanges between China and Japan. He served as an envoy to the two civilizations of Canada and China, and built a bridge of friendship between China and the United States. However, this is still far from a high mountain.
Dashan's return to Taiwan has become the world's largest Chinese comedy show with the Chinese one-man comedy "Dashan Kan Dashan", and has become one of the top three Chinese comedy shows in the world. His aim is not only to spread Chinese humor to the world, but to promote Chinese national comedy to the world. Such persistence and love for art make people feel a sense of awe for the mountains.
But because Dashan was unable to return to China in 2020 due to the flu virus to attend the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, he lost a major opportunity to perform. However, he was not discouraged, and instead turned his attention to poetry and cultural dissemination. In the vicissitudes of time, he used a simple but sincere life to express a painter's dedication to his own soul.
At this year's Spring Festival Gala, because of the "plagiarism door" incident, "Dashan" was once again pushed to the forefront. Under the pressure of **, he had to come forward to explain in order to make the originally peaceful tranquility fall apart again. However, he used his actual behavior to show that he was not just for fame and fortune, but for a love of art and a sense of responsibility for culture.
Dashan, this "foreign comedy star", may be out of fashion now, but he is still passionate about Chinese traditions in his heart. He seeks the extraordinary in the ordinary, and sticks to his original intention in the ordinary. Perhaps, in this colorful performing arts environment, some people have lost interest in his laughter, but what he has done has been integrated into all corners of the world, and his footprints have been left in all corners of the world.
