In Deyun Club, there is an untold story, that is, how Xie Jin found his mentor in the generational dispute. In Deyun Club, his seniority is so high that even the class leader Guo Degang has to call him uncle. This is not only because he himself is a talented literary cross talk actor, but also because his family background has made him stand on the starting line of the cross talk industry since he was born.
Xie Jin, although he was born in the 80s, is a brother of the same generation as those older generation of cross talk masters such as Zhang Wenshun and Xing Wenzhao. His family can be described as a cross talk family, great-grandfather Xie Ruizhi is a famous single string, is the founder of Xie Pai single string, Xie Jin has been deeply influenced by it since he was a child, and he is also quite involved in Peking Opera, single string and other forms of music, and is the first descendant of Xie Pai single string. However, Xie Tianshun originally did not plan to let his son engage in cross talk, and Xie Jin also went to college until Xie Tianshun retired before he began to learn the art of cross talk.
But in the cross talk world, if you want to gain a foothold, you must apprentice. However, Xie Jin's path to mentorship was extremely difficult. According to the rules of the cross talk industry, he can only worship the cross talk actors of the Baozi generation as teachers, which brings many restrictions to his choice. Xie Tianshun once considered letting him worship Guo Degang as his teacher, but Xie Jin's seniority was higher than Guo Degang's, and this relationship was very embarrassing. Eventually, the two of them became brothers, but the issue of Xie Jin's mentorship remained unresolved.
Although there are many Baozi cross talk actors in the cross talk industry, Xie Jin's identity and background make it difficult for him to worship them. The Ma family and the Chang family are not his choice, the Ma family has conflicts with Xie Tianshun, and the Chang family does not care about the Xie family. Even if there are some people who can worship, it is not suitable for various reasons.
However, Xie Tianshun found a tortuous but feasible path. There has been a precedent in the cross talk world for Dai La's junior brother, for example, Ma Zhiming once had Hou Baolin's junior brother Dai La's disciple because of his high seniority, and worshiped Zhu Kuoquan's disciple. This provides a glimmer of hope for Xie Jin, as long as there are literary cross talk actors who are willing to pull it, he can worship the late Baozi actors as teachers. However, the Xie family does not have much influence in the cross talk world, and they can only turn to Guo Degang for help.
In 2006, Xie Tianshun joined Deyun Club, which was already popular in the cross talk industry at that time, and Guo Degang's connections and resources were much stronger than the Xie family. Fortunately, there is a literary cross talk actor Li Wenshan in Deyun Club, who studied under the cross talk giant Wang Shichen and became the key figure for Xie Jin to find a teacher. With the help of Li Wenshan, Xie Jin finally fell under the disciple of the late cross talk celebrity Wang Shichen in 2009. However, Li Wenshan is not Wang Shichen's big apprentice, which is not very in line with the rules in the cross talk world, so Xie Jin's mentorship is still full of challenges.
In this story, we see the generational strife in the inheritance of cross talk, and the efforts of a young cross talk actor to pursue his artistic dream. Although he faced many difficulties and challenges, he finally found his own way of mentorship, adding a new touch to the inheritance of cross talk art.
