The warmth and coldness of human affection is the key to prosperity and wealth, and the world cannot escape the cold, which is what Guo Degang wrote when he mourned to Hou Yaowen, which contains his deep suffering.
In order to repay the kindness of the year, Guo Degang did not hesitate to fall out with Hou Yaohua, an old-timer in the cross talk industry, before Hou Yaowen's death, and he is still excluded by the mainstream cross talk industry, and even missed the opportunity to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Lao Guo set the "grace of dripping water, reciprocating with springs" as his life principle, and he has always remembered any big and small favors in the course of his 40 years of art, and has also become a "benefactor" of countless people.
At that time, he couldn't imagine that he had done good deeds all his life, but in the end he was injured by the "apprentice" he had cultivated himself.
Cao Yunjin wanted to push him into a desperate situation, He Yunwei broke with him, and even the apprentices such as Liu Yuntian and Zhao Yunxia, who were favored in the past, followed the example of their senior brother and defected from the school.
Guo Degang burst into tears and cried bitterly and said: "Speaking of the past, what I hate is not Cao Yunjin, but those white-eyed wolves, they stepped on my escalator to get on the top!."”
He began to study art at the age of 7 and entered the capital at the age of 15. It wasn't until he was 32 years old that he founded Deyun Club from scratch, from an unfavored wild road artist to the helmsman of China's most well-known cross talk group.
Guo Degang was born in Tianjin, where the atmosphere of quyi is strong, in 1973.
Guo Degang's father is a people's policeman, and his mother is a primary school teacher.
Therefore, Guo Degang was left by his father to play in the teahouse garden near his home when he was young. At that time, there were not many entertainment projects, and the storyteller in the teahouse was the most primitive "cartoon" in Guo Degang's childhood.
Guo Degang was also deeply attracted by this art, and gradually fell in love with cross talk through long-term contact and study.
Guo Degang put on a robe at the age of 7, worshiped under the door of the storytelling master Gao Xiangkai, and began his own cross talk enlightenment.
His academic performance was not good, so he devoted all his energy to the art of cross talk, whether it was commenting on stories and drumming, or talking and singing, Guo Degang put a lot of effort into it.
It's not so easy to learn cross talk.
At first, Guo Degang could only perform cross talk in parks or on the side of the street. At that time, the audience was not as "tolerant" as it is now, and they left after three sentences, and sometimes the income from a whole day's performance was not enough to buy a meal.
Tianjin is full of cross talk masters, and the fierce competition can be seen, Guo Degang has not gone through the orthodox teacher, so he is classified as a "wild road".
When Guo Degang was just starting out, due to his lack of mastery and lack of support, he could be said to be moving forward in difficulty.
At the age of 15, he packed his bags to change the status quo and went to the capital alone.
Beijing is a metropolis that many people yearn for, and when Guo Degang first arrived in Beijing, he was looking forward to "becoming a corner" every day.
What is the situation he faces in real life?He lives in a cheap basement with leaky walls, and can only satisfy his hunger with cold water and steamed buns every day, and it doesn't take long to spend all his money.
After Guo Degang used up all his money, he would go back to his hometown to work as a dishwasher and serve dishes until he had saved enough money, and then he would return to the capital in high spirits.
In the most difficult time, he was even forced to go out by the landlord who demanded rent, so he could only wait for it to get dark and quietly climb out of the basement window, and fell into the bitter cold ice and snow with a blue nose and swollen face.
On that cold night, Guo Degang sat on a park bench hungry and cold, shivering from the cold. He made up his mind that he must make a name for himself in Beijing!
Guo Degang has entered Beijing three times and left Beijing three times, and has experienced thousands of tempers in the capital to achieve his today's achievements. He was a late bloomer and was considered "uninhibited" until he was 31 years old before finally gaining a foothold in the capital.
Guo Degang showed his superb cross talk skills at the "National Cross Talk Conference" in 2004, which caused a sensation. Therefore, he successfully worshiped the old artist Hou Yaowen in the cross talk industry.
Guo Degang swept the country in the following year, and at the same time, the "Deyun Society", a group that had a profound impact on the art of Chinese cross talk, was officially established.
In 2002, Guo Degang was not famous at that time, so he accepted a little apprentice and gave him the name Cao Yunjin.
Cao Yunjin was only 16 years old at the time, and he was smart and precocious, so he naturally had a bit of arrogance in his heart. If it weren't for his family bringing him to learn from him, he would definitely not look down on Guo Degang, who has an ordinary appearance.
Although Guo Degang is not famous, his rich experience in reading people over the years allows him to see through the disdain in this kid's eyes at a glance. He saw through it and didn't say anything, there happened to be a performance that day, so he asked Cao Yunjin to stand under the stage**.
Cao Yunjin was convinced because he was amazed by a wonderful performance at the end.
Cao Yunjin knelt and kowtowed, and after the apprenticeship was completed, he officially became the second senior brother of the "Yun" generation, and in front of him was the senior brother He Yunwei.
After Guo Degang got these two apprentices, it was like getting a precious treasure, and he doted on them, even closer than his own son. Even if his own son Guo Qilin had a conflict with his senior brother, he would not hesitate to support his apprentice.
The cross talk industry was in a recession at that time, Guo Degang provided food and shelter for his apprentices, and in order to feed a large family, he performed and spoke cross talk everywhere, and endured a lot of hard work and humiliation.
It wasn't until the establishment of Deyun Club in 2005 that several apprentices emerged one after another, and this situation improved.
Cao Yunjin has been studying art for 4 years, he is diligent and hardworking, and at the same time shows amazing talent. Whenever he performs on stage, he is extremely popular, and his humorous typhoon and handsome appearance attract many fans.
Cao Yunjin's fame is increasing day by day, and it also reveals his conceited and arrogant nature, and he thinks that he is more talented than other senior brothers and even **.
Guo Degang realized this, he didn't want to see Cao Yunjin ruin his whole life because of a momentary impulse, so he couldn't bear it anymore and decided to intervene.
In 2006, CCTV held a cross talk contest in full swing. Cao Yunjin, as a "dark horse", rushed to the championship with confidence, but at this moment, Guo Degang suddenly announced his "retirement", which caught him off guard.
Liu Yuntian's ability and knowledge far surpassed him.
Cao Yunjin was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, but his master's order was difficult to disobey, and even if he was unwilling, he had to swallow his anger.
Cao Yunjin firmly believes that Guo Degang's hard work is all in vain, because he is convinced that ** is aimed at him.
Since then, Cao Yunjin has held a grudge against Guo Degang.
Cao Yunjin finally decided to defect from the division, not only because he was "suppressed by retirement", but also because of the extremely cheesy reason.
That's money.
Cao Yunjin once boasted that "I can support half of Deyun Club on my own!"."This cross talk actor is the most popular in Deyun Club.
However, despite being the "pillar" of Deyun Club, Cao Yunjin's salary is very low, and he can only get a meager two or three thousand yuan per month.
He has asked Guo Degang for an increase in salary many times, but he has not received a response every time, as if his talent is only worthy of such a small reward
Cao Yunjin has a reluctant feeling in his heart and is eager to participate in more activities in order to earn extra income.
Guo Degang was very fond of him at first, often turning a blind eye, however, He Yunwei's departure made him change his opinion.
He Yunwei, as the eldest brother, once made Guo Degang feel palpitations, because he "turned his face and didn't recognize people". Therefore, Guo Degang carried out a thorough "reform", requiring every ** to sign an "artist contract" with him, otherwise he would face a huge amount of liquidated damages.
Cao Yunjin thought in his heart that this was simply the "overlord clause"!
He was determined not to sign an agreement to "sell his art but not his body".
After many years of ups and downs with **, I didn't expect that at the moment of hard work, Cao Yunjin had the idea of independent development.
I don't give anyone face, who the am I!
In 2010, at Guo Degang's 37th birthday banquet, a group of ** gathered together to celebrate the teacher's birthday. However, a drunken man broke the beautiful atmosphere.
Cao Yunjin, who was full of alcohol, got drunk and walked up to Guo Degang: "*This is the last time I call you **, I really can't eat ......enough."The apprentice had no choice but to leave. ”
The scene once fell into chaos, and several ** people came to dissuade him, but even a few people together couldn't stop the scolding Cao Yunjin.
Cao Yunjin swore that he would never return to Deyun Club, and he really did what he said, and when he left, he not only took away several of Guo Degang's right-hand men, but also accepted his own junior disciples as apprentices, and opened his own "Tingyunxuan" sect, which was a resounding slap in the face to Guo Degang.
His departure completely put Guo Degang and Deyun Club in a desperate situation.
In order to speak for the widow of **, Guo Degang did not hesitate to offend Hou Yaohua, a well-known "big man" in the cross talk world, and this "repayment" completely cut off his own back road. When Hou Yaowen died, this scene was embarrassing.
The mainstream cross talk industry has excluded him, and now he has been betrayed and "stolen" by his own apprentices. If it weren't for Guo Degang's unswerving persistence, Deyun Club would have been disbanded and its members would have dispersed.
When Cao Yunjin was in turmoil in his big family, he repeatedly attacked Guo Degang in front of **, calling him "the best", and claimed that he and Deyun Club were only "cooperative relations".
Lao Guo was almost so angry that he was about to spew out old blood during the interview, and he angrily accused Cao Yunjin of "bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors", he is simply a "white-eyed wolf"!
Guo Degang reorganized the family tree of Deyun Club in 2016, removed the name of "traitor" Cao Yunjin, and personally removed the word "cloud" from his stage name!
Cao Yunjin was furious when he learned the news, and he wrote a long article of 6,000 words, pointing directly at the "evil deeds" that Guo Degang has done to him over the years, including high tuition fees and mistreatment of apprentices, etc., exposing all kinds of unfair behaviors of his mentor!
Guo Degang is naturally not easy to mess with, he responded to Cao Yunjin's accusation with the article "The End of the World is Still There, Don't Sue Bo Liang", cleverly alluding to Cao Yunjin's "distortion of facts", igniting a "master-apprentice war of words" that has attracted global attention.
However, Cao Yunjin, a person who thought he was omnipotent, soon ended his good days after leaving Deyun Club.
In 2019, a sudden epidemic brought an unexpected impact to everyone, and Tingyunxuan, which was established not long after Cao Yun King Kong, was also severely hit, and the once bustling stage suddenly became dilapidated and desolate.
The members of the Deyun Club who followed Cao Yunjin were even more scattered, and Cao Yunjin's dream of establishing his own door finally came to naught.
After Cao Yunjin's dream was shattered, he tried to make a comeback again through live broadcast, but whenever he appeared on the Internet, he would inevitably attract overwhelming scolding.
After disappearing for 3 years, Cao Yunjin actually performed the "new tricks" of cross talk for free in the live broadcast room, and successfully achieved an amazing comeback, which was unexpected.
At this time, Yue Yunpeng, Qin Xiaoxian and other pillars of Deyun Club have frequently appeared in major variety shows, and Cao Yunjin seems to have lost his former style.
He put on a coat that he hadn't worn for a long time, and showed a solid foundation when talking about cross talk, and even occasionally saw the demeanor of Lao Guo between gestures.
It's been 13 years since the master and apprentice turned against each other, and now their relationship seems to have eased.
In a recent live broadcast, Cao Yunjin showed off the fan he had treasured for nearly 20 years, and the back of the fan was impressively signed by Guo Degang, which seemed to convey a hint of "seeking reconciliation" to the audience.
Guo Degang was dismissive of Cao Yunjin's "overtures", and when asked what he thought of "live broadcast cross talk", Guo Degang replied with a straight face and arrogantly: "If you don't perform well, I can ask the platform to restrict your live broadcast traffic." Clearly, he still has a grit for the past.
Everything in the world is driven by profit, and it is really worrying whether this pair of masters and apprentices who have parted ways for profit will usher in a moment of reconstruction.
