In 2002, after the college entrance examination, 26-year-old Xu Deliang graduated from Peking University and became well-known in the academic world. For Xu Deliang, he could have chosen a more stable career path, but his heart burned with a love for cross talk.
So after graduation, Xu Deliang embarked on the road of chasing dreams without hesitation.
In 2006, Xu Deliang finally got his wish and joined Deyun Club and became a family with ideals. When he first joined the club, Xu Deliang's heart was full of excitement, looking forward to learning and training here, and bursting out more dazzling sparks when he Xi with all his beloved disciples.
In particular, he has a deep personal relationship with his partner Wang Wenlin and his master Zhang Wenshun. Therefore, in Xu Deliang's mind, participating in Deyun Club is not only a job, but also a process of finding a community with a shared future.
Under the leadership of Guo Degang, Zhang Wenshun and others, this group of them has the dream of inheriting cross talk culture and wants to use their wisdom and sweat to illuminate the literary and artistic stage of the times.
Over the years, Xu Deliang has been immersed in intense performances and hard training every day. He always seized the opportunity to Xi and create, no matter how late it was.
In order to further enhance the rhythm and expressiveness of his language, Xu Deliang often repeatedly scrutinizes with Zhang Wenshun and absorbs the insights of old artists. Xu De's ability to appear in this positive state has been steadily improved, and he has gradually become one of the rookies of Deyun Club.
The division commander and colleagues are very optimistic about his future development prospects, and Xu Deliang feels that his life has been sublimated on this platform.
The rapid development of Deyun Club made Xu Deliang feel sincerely pleased and proud, and he looked at the big family to grow step by step and become a leader in the cross talk industry. However, the good times did not last long, and the income distribution was also unbalanced as the commercial operation of the community continued to deepen.
Specifically, Xu Deliang then found that his income from his hard work was only 150 yuan of the performance fee, but Guo Degang was paid hundreds of thousands.
This made Xu Deliang, who was Xi used to serious calculations, unable to accept it calmly. When he recalled the struggle of the past few years, his heart was full of doubts: is his dedication and contribution not worth being treated like this?This gap is really big, and it is the most important component of Deyun Club, but it has fallen to the edge of the lowest income, which makes it difficult for him to be convinced.
So this ignored emotion slowly brewed grievances in Xu Deliang's heart. He gradually felt that Guo Degang was utilitarian and did not regard everyone as a community of destiny at all.
Xu Deliang, who had been resentful for a long time, finally left Deyun Club in 2008, and he was unwilling to squander his youth for this "squeezing machine". In order to prove his strength, he decided to risk flying solo and set off again.
And after careful consideration, he persuaded his friend and partner Wang Wenlin to quit together and help each other in the same boat.
After all, under the choice of wealth and friendship, the trajectory of Xu Deliang's life is destined to be inconsistent. This decision will inevitably change the course of its fate. However, Xu Deliang is determined to pursue his new dream, even if the road ahead is complicated.
Xu Deliang established the Haidian Cross Talk Club in 2009 to prove himself and seek new opportunities for development. As the veteran of Deyun Club, this move will inevitably attract the attention and popularity of many Yuan Club members.
After the opening of the club, affected by Xu Deliang's cumulative popularity, the audience was full of seats, and the front of the door was cold. This early success did greatly satisfy Xu Deliang's desire for love, but also made him feel that the choice was not entirely wrong.
But over time, the audience gradually discovered that Xu De's basic skills were slightly insufficient after all, and it was difficult to control the complex language structure to complete the series of jokes.
Many of his works have the defect that the performance is too heavy, and cannot make people have a sense of dramatic substitution and resonance. Gradually, the excitement of the crowd began to cool down, and the club was embarrassed.
In 2011, the Haidian Cross Talk Club performed even worse in this campus performance at Peking University. Because Xu Deliang's overtime performance affected the next step of the procedure, the staff moved the stage directly.
This unexpected change and the host's ridicule made Xu Deliang lose face. He realized that he was no longer able to build a successful brand like Deyun Club, and he had to transform to survive.
Xu Deliang went from screenwriting to writing books to hosting, and began to work hard to get out of a multi-way path, hoping to make a difference. But because it was too late, it was difficult to compete with young people, and Xu Deliang did not achieve the same performance as drama in these aspects.
Gradually, the public's feeling for this "talent" has also faded, and they can only accept the failures in the development of their own lives.
Now, Xu Deliang, the "new literary master" who once shined in Deyun Club, has now semi-retired in Li Jing's cross talk hall. Occasionally, acquaintances invited him to compete with him, and he also took advantage of the situation.
But this is no longer the time when he is young and frivolous, and his blood is strong. Now Xu Deliang speaks and behaves steadily, much more reservedly.
In middle age, Xu Deliang will always quietly recall his vigorous days from time to time. After graduation, they broke into the entertainment industry without hesitation, re-established their own club, and stood on the cusp again.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and in the end he had to leave the front line in disgrace. It's strange to say, when he made the decision to leave Deyun Club, how could he have thought that there would be such a result now.
But at this moment, Xu Deliang no longer has much self-blame and regret in his heart. Because he has not gained nothing, his cross talk skills are still there, and his literary accomplishment is also much more substantial.
It's just that the grand ambition set by the young and frivolous time was not completed in the end. This is exactly the price paid by the childish impulses of its personality.
Now Xu Deliang sees further, he feels that no matter how hard he tries, it is not easy for his fate to be changed by personal efforts. He parted ways with Deyun Club, and to a certain extent, it was inevitable in life.
Previously, Guo Degang's success just cut the pulse of the times, but the core of cross talk he wanted to maintain would eventually be corroded in the coercion of commercialization.
So Xu Deliang now just wants to write something, or paint some pictures, and wait for the curtain call of life. Destiny is destined for the story between him and Deyun Society, and at best, it is just a bland stroke in its glorious epic.
Now the two have nothing to do with each other, but Xu Deliang doesn't plan to discredit anything more. After all, Deyun Club has always been the starting point and shining place of his dream in my heart.
Xu Deliang, a genius at Peking University, could have lived his life smoothly and peacefully, but he finally chose to retire because he reached middle age. We can't comment on the fact that its initial decision to quit Deyun Club was wrong, because everyone has the right to pursue their ideals and work hard.
Perhaps because of the passage of time, Mr. Xu Deliang always looked back from time to time, and there was a wave in his heart. But after all, he did not give up his love for literature and art, and became more and more meaningful in the whipping of reality.
Therefore, we only need to appreciate this still background and send it to a safe journey.
The road of life is long, and no one can be alone. And the process of writing is a process of refinement and refinement again and again. I hope that Mr. Xu Deliang can continue to accept the cultivation of art and bear his own fruits in the last years of his life.
When the shadow of his aging finally disappears at the end of the rivers and lakes, at least we understand a theatrical life that is true to himself and has ideals.
