Today, a year later, Xueba Huang Xi and the beautiful school flower Jin Yan have joined hands in the sacred hall of the wedding! Back in 1995, the couple decided to go to the United States for further study. When they first arrived in a foreign country, they faced various challenges, especially the limitations of English proficiency and the pressure of living costs, which caused them great distress.
The power of love is immensely strong, and Huang Xi decides to use his unique talent of telling jokes to try to ease his wife's homesickness caused by the difference in circumstances. However, it backfired, and once he accidentally made a ridiculous joke and made his wife cry.
As a result, Huang Xi realized the seriousness of the problem and began to amuse Jin Yan with all kinds of jokes every night, which not only reduced their worries about each other, but also enlivened the dull study abroad life.
They work so hard that they are busy with their studies or work during the day and devote themselves to constant training at night. In 2009, Huang Xi finally ushered in a glorious moment, he was honored to stand on the stage of the top talk show in the United States, "The Lightman Show".
Skillfully combining Chinese humor with American satire, he showcased his acting prowess, eventually defeating a number of strong opponents to reach the show's finals, which laid the foundation for his later acclaim in the American stand-up comedy.
Back in 1995, Huang Xi and Jin Yan came to the United States together to devote themselves to doctoral research. When they first arrived, they were stressed by an unfamiliar environment, language barriers, and growing financial burdens.
Despite his remarkable memory, Huang Xi can memorize up to 85% of the English words, but it is still a huge challenge to fully integrate into mainstream society.
Faced with such a reality, Huang Xi chose to amuse his wife with jokes, and at the same time, so that he could sleep peacefully at night. He knew that there were times when he accidentally said something he shouldn't have said, which hit Jin Yan's pain points, such as once because he made a joke about a power outage, and it happened that their family couldn't afford to pay such an expensive electricity bill this month.
All this prompted Huang Xi to make up his mind to embark on the road of talk comedy, because he felt that it could not only make a living, but also an excellent way to exercise his eloquent thinking.
So, during the day they have to work and study; In the evening, Huang Xi began to run around and participate in various talk show club performances. Although the audience did not respond well at the beginning, and some even left the venue halfway, Huang Xi did not give up because of this, but focused more on on-site training.
At that glorious moment in 2011, Huang Xi, who was already at the peak of his career, returned to China with firm belief and devoted himself to the development of the talk show career. His first appearance was a talk show tour held at the Communication University of China and Tsinghua University, which caused a sensation for a while, and the students of Guangzhou University were full of curiosity and love for this new and unique form of performance!
Immediately afterwards, Huang Xi immediately got involved in various variety shows of David TV and showed his outstanding talent. He once co-led with the beautiful and elegant hostess Chen Beibei in charge of CCTV's ** program "Is it true? The tacit cooperation between the two and their wise and witty performance won the love of the audience.
Huangxi's development in China has not been smooth sailing. The first problem is that he does not yet have a real understanding of Chinese culture, including the so-called "unspoken rules" and manipulative social interactions.
In Is It Real? In this show, Huang Xi did not curry favor with his superiors by squirting his beard and slapping horses like other hosts, which led to a brief end to the show, and more importantly, his talk show elements were not close to life in the eyes of Chinese audiences, which affected the show's ratings and influence.
Huang Xi prefers talk shows that combine deep philosophical and humanistic thinking, while Chinese people prefer light-hearted jokes and plots. After 2015, Huang Xi began to perform on a domestic tour of talk shows, but the atmosphere was often awkward and cold"Master of talk comedy"also often encounters Waterloo, and the laughter is very different from the audience.
Huang Xi has come to realize that many of the topics that are widely used in the United States are restricted in China and cannot be discussed freely. He deeply felt the unimaginable difference in taste between the Chinese and American people.
Looking back on his experience and cultivation in the United States, as well as his own study background, such as studying science and technology during his undergraduate and master's degrees, and researching a large number of philosophy books in his later years, these factors have shaped his unique humorous style.
This style often contains a peculiarity"Mechanization"This style is popular in the United States, but not as well in China.
Further, as far as we know, Huang Xi's U.S. tour has more than 99 of the topics that can fully display his sarcastic and caustic talents! However, when he moved to China, the situation changed markedly – and he was confronted with constraints.
Unable to express himself as he did in the United States, he had to confine himself to relative safety. The reason behind this is not only due to the differences in the tastes of the Chinese and American people, but also to the huge gap between the two countries in terms of cultural environment and censorship mechanisms.
Therefore, it is important to recognize that success is not an absolute one-size-fits-all approach. Especially for a talent like Huang Xi, although his "Huang-style humor" was once very popular in the United States, when he tried to promote it on Chinese soil, he inevitably ran into bottlenecks.
Obviously, all these phenomena can be explained by a simple taste problem, but more involve complex factors such as environment and system.
Huang Xi, he is like a horse out of the stable, destined to be difficult to stop and stay in a certain piece of land for a long time.
