The law of the cross talk industry is "three points of teasing and seven points of praise", and whether cross talk actors can become popular is often inseparable from the tacit cooperation of their partners. For example, Zhu Xiangchen, a famous master in Tianjin, has praised many cross talk actors, making them popular all over Tianjin.
However, even cross talk partners who have become famous will part ways for various reasons. For example, the cross talk partners Gao Yingpei and Fan Zhenyu, who were popular in the country in the last century, have been partners for 39 years and are known as the gold medal partners in the cross talk industry.
However, even so, in their later years, they sadly parted ways. As for the reason for their breakup, is it fame and fortune? Is it alcoholism? Or is it something else?
Gao Yingpei and Fan Zhenyu, these two literary cross talk actors are well-known in the cross talk circle, they are excellent students under Zhao Peiru and Ma Sanli's high apprentice Ban Degui.
Under the guidance of their masters, the two learned and made their mark in the cross talk world. They have been working together since the 50s, and they have been working together on stage, both in their youth and in their old age.
Especially at the end of the 70s of the last century, they were both transferred to the ACFTU Art Troupe, and they had a bigger stage to play. Since then, Gao Yingpei and Fan Zhenyu, who are in the prime of life, have performed all over the country, and their cooperation can be called a perfect match.
Gao Yingpei won the love of the audience with his enthusiastic and unrestrained stage style, and no matter how hot Gao Yingpei's typhoon was, Fan Zhenyu could always answer in time and deal with it skillfully, their cooperation was unparalleled, and Gao Fan's combination also became one of the most well-known cross talk partners in the country.
After 39 years of working together, the two partners decided to go their separate ways. It is rumored that the reason for the rift between them is because Gao Yingpei is overly fond of drinking.
After every performance, he couldn't help but drink, and as soon as he did, he was drunk and unconscious. Once, when he returned to the room after getting drunk, he actually stuck his partner Fan Zhenyu's neck.
Fortunately, other cross talk actors rushed to help, and Gao Yingpei was pulled away. This incident made Fan Zhenyu deeply uneasy, and he took the initiative to find the leader and proposed to end the cooperation with Gao Yingpei.
The leader didn't know what was going on and asked, "Aren't you guys good?" Fan Zhenyu humorously replied: "It's good, but my personal safety is not guaranteed." So, they ended 39 years of cooperation and went their separate ways.
originally thought that Gao Yingpei's drunken beating was the direct reason for the two to break up, but in fact, this is just one of many theories. Another theory is that Gao Yingpei was named one of the top ten comedy stars in national cross talk in an election, but his partner Fan Zhenyu unfortunately lost the selection.
Since then, a rift has developed between the two, and the cooperation has become less pleasant than before. It is also rumored that Gao Yingpei wanted to train his apprentice Meng Fangui in his later years, so his relationship with Fan Zhenyu also became estranged.
Fan Zhenyu wisely chose to leave on his own initiative, and the relationship between the two ended. However, even after the breakup, Gao Yingpei still maintained a close cooperative relationship with his apprentice Meng Fangui.
Fan Zhenyu explained this issue afterwards, saying that there was no contradiction between him and Gao Yingpei, and their cooperation has always been very pleasant. As for the reason for the split between the two, he guessed that it might be because they were both entering their old age, and Gao Yingpei's physical condition was not very good.
As an apprentice, Meng Fangui can not only perform with **, but also take care of his daily life, which is also the choice made by Mr. Gao Yingpei after the rift.
