At present, it can almost be said that the cross talk world is dominated by Deyun Club. The company's founder, Guo Degang, is now only 50 years old, but many talented students and successors have emerged under his disciples, who are not only extraordinary, but also not inferior in terms of "traffic".
According to Guo Degang:
The three cross talk actors are scolding each other, and whoever can make the other two mad is a real artist.
A typical case of this statement is Yang Shaohua.
Yang Shaohua is 91 years old and began to learn the art of cross talk when he was a teenager. In terms of seniority, he is one level higher than Guo Degang, but his fame has not been very big.
A few days ago, Yang Shaohua released his ** that he was hospitalized due to illness.
Yang Shaohua was lying on the bed dying, with many tubes inserted in his body, looking dying.
Fortunately, this is not a serious disease, because he is too old to delay any illness. Yang Shaohua himself also said on Weibo that health is the greatest happiness, and he was glad that he had passed this hurdle.
Yang Shaohua was discharged from the hospital soon after, accompanied by his children and grandchildren at home, although he was 91 years old, he did not control his diet as soon as he was discharged from the hospital, and only cared about enjoyment.
* shows that he lived a luxurious life, eating and drinking abundantly, and smoking and drinking. After a minor illness, he seems to have become more bold and indulgent, and his children do not seem to be restrained by him, only hoping that he will be happy in his old age.
Yang Shaohua, an authentic old Beijing, was born in the war-torn era. His family was ordinary, and he had a hard time as a teenager, and at the age of twelve, he had a certain amount of strength to make a living in the city.
He traveled many places, and finally came to the Qiming Tea House in old Beijing to get started.
The teahouses in old Beijing not only provide the joy of tea tasting, but also enjoy music and listen to cross talk. In the ten years since its establishment, it has bred many outstanding cross talk performers, such as Liu Baorui, Guo Quanbao, Zhang Shouchen, etc., which can be called the "cradle of cross talk" in old Beijing at that time.
When Yang Shaohua first arrived at the tea house, he was only responsible for running errands and pouring tea and water for the guests. Then he got acquainted with Chang Baoting of the tea house, Chang Baoting felt that Yang Shaohua was very smart, so he wanted to introduce him to the door of cross talk.
Therefore, under the introduction of his father, Yang Shaohua was able to worship Guo Rongqi's disciple to learn art.
Cross talk, a form of folk art that originated from the masses and took root in the folk, can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
It was not until the Qing Dynasty that there were gradually clear records, and many different schools and norms have been formed to this day.
According to the rules, apprenticeship is not a casual thing to complete, to become Yang Shaohua and Guo Rongqi's apprentice, you also need to follow the ancient ritual of "worship" in order to be considered a formal entry.
Yang Shaohua was living in poverty at that time, so he had to spend a lot of money to hold the "Zhizhi" ceremony, and he needed to pay for the banquet and invite ** and the teacher to attend, which was really expensive.
Although he has begun to learn the skill of "speaking, learning and singing" in the art of cross talk, he has been delaying the ancient ritual taught by the teacher, "putting knowledge", which even makes Guo Rongqi himself feel a little dissatisfied. After all, in the eyes of the older generation, the traditional rules of cross talk are the most important.
Guo Rongqi is even reluctant to admit that Yang Shaohua is his **, which also makes Yang Shaohua questioned in front of future generations, all because of his inconsiderateness.
Yang Shaohua received guidance and help from many nobles during his tutelage with Guo Rongqi, and his cross talk performance gradually became successful.
Unfortunately, Yang Shaohua has not had the opportunity to show his martial arts in the tea house, because the tea house has to be terminated due to the needs of urban construction.
This tea house has remained in the memory of old Beijingers, and although some people called for the restoration of the Qiming Tea House, it was not realized.
The teahouse was closed, and many cross talk actors suddenly lost their livelihoods, and they returned to their academies one after another and began to earn a living on their own.
However, Yang Shaohua was not recognized by the college. After struggling in poverty for a long time, he finally reluctantly went to Tianjin and became an ordinary worker.
Yang Shaohua works in a factory, but he has not given up his love for cross talk. Whenever he has the opportunity, he always actively shows his cross talk talent and makes everyone laugh.
Soon after, the humorous Yang Shaohua attracted the attention of the leaders and successfully joined the Tianjin Quyi Troupe and continued to engage in cross talk performances.
Ma Sanli's kindness to Yang Shaohua is like the most critical help for him to climb to the peak, if the master Guo Rongqi is the leader of Yang Shaohua's cross talk road.
When Yang Shaohua joined the Tianjin Quyi Troupe at that time, he received strong support from Ma Sanli and his son.
As a leader in the cross talk industry, he not only helped the unknown Yang Shaohua quickly become famous and cultivate newcomers, but also let his son Ma Zhiming cooperate with Yang Shaohua to create a much-loved cross talk group.
Ma Sanli directly accepted Yang Shaohua as his righteous son, because his master did not recognize the master-apprentice relationship between them.
With his status in the cross talk world, he was included in Guo Rongqi's door with a wave of his hand.
Yang Shaohua was really appreciated by Ma Sanli, but unfortunately he became an "outcast" later due to the factional struggle in the cross talk world.
Cross talk is the most famous in Tianjin, the Chang family is supported by the Ma family and Chang Baohua brothers, and the Hou faction is carried forward by Master Hou Baolin, and the representative figures are Ma Delu and Ma Sanli.
When the Ma and Hou families were fiercely competing, the Guo sect to which Yang Shaohua belonged was not very famous. Ma Sanli decided to cooperate with Guo to jointly weaken the power of Hou Baolin's faction.
Hou Baolin failed to get involved in the Ma faction in Tianjin, so he had to go north to Beijing to seek development opportunities, while Tianjin left the two major forces of the Ma faction and the Chang faction to continue to wrestle.
Guo Pai originally cooperated with Ma Sanli, but gradually lost ground in the situation of a dominant family. In the end, they turned against the Chang family, which made Ma Sanli very angry.
What's even more surprising is that Guo Rongqi actually accepted Chang Baoting as an apprentice. This move undoubtedly angered Ma Sanli, and also completely ended the friendship between Ma Sanli and Guo Rongqi.
Yang Shaohua and Ma Zhiming were already very skilled in partnering with Guo Pai, but the master's actions made Ma Zhiming angry, causing Yang Shaohua to be very embarrassed in Guo Pai's situation for a while.
Even if Chang and Guo joined forces, they could not defeat Ma Sanli, so they could only change careers to work in sketches and movies, and Yang Shaohua's life after that was also very poor.
Yang Shaohua met Zhao Weizhou after breaking up with his old partner Ma Zhiming. Zhao Weizhou has excellent observation skills and creative talent, and has created many popular works during their collaboration.
Yang Shaohua's famous work "I Want to Bloom" was inspired by Zhao Weizhou's "Dead Wood in Spring".
CCTV was very interested in their works and invited them to participate in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala. Although he was not selected in the end, in this event, Yang Shaohua got acquainted with Zhao Benshan.
At that time, Zhao Benshan was not very famous, he was also very respectful to Yang Shaohua, who was older than him, and the two were arranged in the same room because of the rehearsal, but I didn't expect that one was good at sketch performances, and the other was a cross talk performance, but they unexpectedly chatted very speculatively.
During the conversation, Zhao Benshan felt very distressed when he learned that Yang Shaohua, a senior old-timer, could not make ends meet, so he quietly stuffed 2,000 yuan under Yang Shaohua's pillow.
Yang Shaohua still clearly remembers this such a warm-hearted move many years later.
Yang Shaohua showed a very good performance in the Spring Festival Gala, and his lazy demeanor and tone when he praised him won him a unique "wilting" style. In the 90s of the last century, he was once popular, and he was 58 years old at that time.
He finally got paid off before the sixtieth birthday, and when he failed to become famous when he was young, the life of the Yang family also improved a lot.
At that time, the expenses of the Yang family were not small, and after meeting his wife, they gave birth to five children, and the salary of the husband and wife for hard work alone was definitely not enough for the family of seven. I was introduced to my wife.
Yang Shaohua lived a frugal life in his childhood, and the family pressure in middle age was even greater, which can be described as poor and weak, so it is no wonder that he can enjoy it so much in his later years.
Yang Shaohua has a total of five sons, of which the second son, Yang Jinming, is his adopted son and is currently studying under Hou Yaowen.
Yang Shaohua attaches great importance to his adopted son's talent in cross talk, he works hard and does his best, and even does not hesitate to lower his own value, so that his son can worship his younger generation Hou Yaowen as a teacher.
In addition, he also took his illness to Guo Degang's performance, hoping that Guo Degang could help his son in the field of cross talk in the future.
Yang Shaohua treats his son Yang Yi even more wholeheartedly. At the beginning, Yang Shaohua also hoped that Yang Yi would engage in the art of cross talk performance, and Yang Yi's cross talk talent was indeed very good, not only won the championship of the national cross talk competition in a row, but also created many wonderful cross talk programs.
In order for his son to succeed in his cross talk career, Yang Jinming once cooperated with Yang Yi to perform, and even his father was willing to serve as a supporter, and finally won the first prize of the CCTV cross talk competition with "Rotten Meat in the Pot". However, Yang Yi seems to be more enthusiastic about being a director than talking about cross talk.
Yang Shaohua did not stop his son's idea of making movies or TV series, but actively participated in his son's TV series, such as starring in series such as "Yang Guang's Happy Life", and was well received by the audience.
Now Yang Shaohua can be relieved, because his sons have achieved success in their careers, so in his later years, he is naturally unwilling to treat himself badly, and likes to taste food and wine.
The wandering of childhood and the poverty of middle age seem to be compensated for in old age.
Yang Shaohua in his later years, like to smoke and drink, according to the ** released by him and his son, it can be seen that the old man is particularly fond of smoking, and has almost lost his life many times because of quitting smoking.
Yang Shaohua is 90 years old, not only has a tough body, but also has an amazing amount of alcohol, and there is no pressure to drink half a catty of liquor with friends at will.
He didn't have such conditions before, but now Yang Shaohua seems to have become more salivating for food, and often frequents the restaurants opened by his son, enjoying big fish and meat.
The table was full of big fish and meat, and Yang Shaohua ate it without saying a word. At home, Yang Shaohua is also willing to give himself delicious food, fresh shrimp and crabs are his favorites.
Yang Lun is the only one of his five sons who regularly takes care of his father, and the restaurant he runs often prepares clean and hygienic packaged meals for his father. It looks like the other four sons are busy.
Yang Shaohua has been alone for many years, and the pain of his wife's early death cannot be compensated for by the satisfaction of his appetite.
In the old man's ***, he once inadvertently expressed his desire to find a partner, and even once when his godson jokingly introduced his partner, Yang Shaohua immediately sat up from the bed.
Mr. Yang, who has been single since his wife passed away for many years, praised his late wife on the show. Now, it's hard to tell if he's really trying to find a partner or just kidding.
Yang Shaohua has worked hard for most of his life, and finally ushered in a happy old age. He can enjoy the good years of teasing his grandson to the fullest and enjoy the warmth of his family.
This is the destination that many people look forward to. The children are also reluctant to sweep away the interest of the elderly, so that Yang Lao can enjoy the food and wine to the fullest, and be free and free. I only hope that Yang Lao can pay more attention to his physical health, and don't neglect to take care of his body while enjoying life to the fullest.
