In the sky of Chinese quyi culture, Deyun Club now occupies half of the country, and looking back on the past, the founder Guo Degang can still clearly remember those difficult years.
"At that time, Guo Degang was indeed not recognized by many people," a senior cross talk enthusiast recalled, "Some people like his cross talk, but at the same time, some people don't like his performance style, and they don't even think that he can make Deyun Club brilliant." "
Deyun Club has been questioned and disfavored since its inception, because many people only think that seniors in the cross talk industry like Ma Sanli and Hou Yaowen can be regarded as real artists.
At that time, Guo Degang's cross talk style was difficult to accept, and some people even scoffed at it.
However, Guo Degang was not discouraged. He knows very well that the only way to change this situation is to speak with strength. So, he led the members of Deyun Club to practice their cross talk skills day after day, constantly innovate jokes, and strive to improve their performance level.
"Hard work pays off", as time goes by, Deyun Club has gradually won the recognition of the audience. An old viewer of Deyun Club sighed: "Fortunately, all the efforts were not in vain, and under the leadership of Guo Degang, Deyun Club really developed."
Deyun Club has not only made outstanding achievements in the field of cross talk, but has even trained a large number of excellent cross talk actors, who are deeply loved by the audience. The emergence of those new generation of cross talk actors has also made the traditional cross talk culture known and loved by more people.
However, the road to success is never easy. Nowadays, although Deyun Club has become the mainstay of the cross talk industry, the apprentices who used to be infinitely beautiful now have their own situations.
According to industry insiders: "At present, most of the apprentices of Deyun Club are no longer as beautiful as before, and some apprentices even choose to temporarily withdraw from the stage due to physical reasons."
This kind of ups and downs is really a sigh for the impermanence of artistic life. The rise of Deyun Club is not only an inspirational history of struggle, but also a symphony of sorrow and joy about persistence and change.
Among the many apprentices of Meng Hetang and Zhang Yunlei in Deyun Club, their experiences can be regarded as representatives of two different extremes. Their experiences show the ups and downs experienced by the new generation of cross talk actors.
Meng Hetang, a cross talk actor, was not favored at first because of his somewhat feminine appearance. But with the excellent performances again and again, the audience gradually felt his charm. His success became a model for the rising stars of Deyun Club.
An audience member who often comes to Deyun Club commented: "Although Meng Hetang sometimes looks a little naughty and not serious, most of the time he behaves very well-behaved and sensible. What's more worth mentioning is that in front of Master Guo Degang, Meng Hetang showed a deep understanding of "respecting teachers and respecting the way", not only talking about it, but also putting it into action.
Meng Hetang has always maintained a low-key and humble attitude, and has a good momentum of development in Deyun Club. As people often say: "Low-key and obedient and well-behaved, it's hard not to think about it." ”
In contrast, Zhang Yunlei's experience is full of drama. He is known as the "pigtailed brother" and can be said to be the founder of Deyun Club's "fan circle culture". With his handsome appearance and excellent singing skills, Zhang Yunlei quickly became the "top stream" among the young generation in the cross talk industry.
"The appearance of Zhang Yunlei has enabled Deyun Club to enjoy the dividends of fan traffic," said one cultural critic. In fact, Zhang Yunlei also participated in the program "National Style Beautiful Boy", so as to promote traditional culture to more young people.
His influence was unprecedented, and many young people began to understand and enjoy the traditional art of opera.
However, Zhang Yunlei also encountered a crisis under the aura of fame. During a performance with his partner, he sparked controversy over the use of inappropriate jokes. Although he apologized afterwards, as someone said, "It is difficult to restore the wrinkled white paper to its original state."
Now, Zhang Yunlei has not appeared in the public eye for a long time due to physical reasons. Some people speculate that he was hidden by Deyun Club because of the decline in his reputation, and some people think that he was just recuperating and resting.
But no matter what the truth is, the popularity of the previously popular "Braided Brother" has now decreased significantly.
Zhang Yunlei's experience makes people sigh at the hardships of the profession of cross talk actor. They must not only constantly improve their talents, but also always pay attention to their words and deeds, because if they are not careful, they may lose their hard-won success.
The story of Meng Hetang and Zhang Yunlei vividly interprets the rise and fall of the new generation of cross talk actors in Deyun Club, and shows us the opportunities and challenges faced by traditional art in the new era.
In the course of the development of Deyun Club, there have been crisis events. Among them, the one that has attracted the most attention is undoubtedly the incident of cross talk actor Chen Xiaohua trespassing on other people's houses. This incident not only tested Deyun Club's crisis management ability, but also triggered people's in-depth thinking about the professional ethics of cross talk actors.
A few months ago, Chen Xiaohua reportedly stripped naked at the elevator entrance after drinking alcohol, and then broke into a family on the fifth floor. Luckily, the owner found out in time and called the police, who eventually took him away.
And this behavior not only brought a lot of negative impact to Deyun Club, but also made people think deeply: how can a cross talk actor who can't even control himself bring joy to the audience on the stage? As someone said: "If a cross talk actor can't even control himself, it's hard to imagine how he can tell cross talk well in front of everyone." ”
In the face of this crisis, Deyun Club's response was very quick and decisive. They soon issued a statement announcing the expulsion of Chen Xiaohua and harshly criticizing his actions. Deyun Club said in a statement that Chen Xiaohua was self-inflicted, and this decision shows their high standards of artist behavior and the importance they attach to social responsibility.
However, this incident is a wake-up call for us. Because in today's era of highly developed social media, every word and deed of an artist may be over-amplified. For cross talk actors, they not only have to be witty on stage, but also cautious in their words and deeds in life.
Chen Xiaohua's example undoubtedly taught a lesson to all members of Deyun Club. As one industry insider worried: "If Chen Xiaohua's cross talk career is over, then the other members should be alert."
This is not only an embarrassing thing, but also a wake-up call for other Deyun Club members.
Although this crisis handling turned the corner and saved the reputation of Deyun Club, it also let us see the fragility of the career of cross talk actors. A single mistake can undo years of hard work.
The crisis management of Deyun Club is not only the maintenance of its own brand, but also a warning and purification of the entire cross talk industry.
As one of the representative actors of Deyun Club, Zhang Jiunan's experience fully demonstrates the many challenges faced by cross talk actors on and off the stage, especially the typical example of being proud in the workplace but frustrated in love.
Zhang Jiunan on the stage has attracted the love of many audiences with his unique performance style, and some people think that his cross talk style has the feeling of "mad dog", which is quite a stalk. In the variety show "Deyun Douxiao Club", Zhang Jiunan's performance was even more outstanding, winning a new wave of fan traffic for himself.
When Zhang Jiunan's career was in full swing, his life encountered unexpected twists and turns. First of all, his ex-wife broke the news on the Internet, accusing him of cheating in marriage. She not only accused Zhang Jiunan of not paying child support, but also posted photos accusing him of violence against herself.
In the face of these accusations, Zhang Jiunan did not back down. He said that the two have long since divorced, and the specific details have been settled in court. Such a response could have calmed the situation, but the turmoil did not end there.
Zhang Jiunan was accused of cheating on other girls during their relationship, causing the girls to be very sad and even complained to the Bureau of Culture and Tourism.
This series of events undoubtedly brought a shadow to Zhang Jiunan's career, and he had to temporarily stop his cross talk work. The article mentioned: "Later, the girl complained to the Bureau of Culture and Tourism very strongly, and in the end, Zhang Jiunan was also punished, and the cross talk work was temporarily suspended, I don't know if he can continue to come back to work in the later stage?" ”
Zhang's story reflects the complex environment of contemporary comedian actors, who not only have to win the hearts of audiences on stage, but also have their private lives under public scrutiny.
Once any controversy arises, it can have serious repercussions on their careers.
The case of this cross talk actor shows us that his success depends not only on his talent on stage, but also on his prudence and self-discipline in life. It also reminds us that in this transparent society, the words and actions of artists will become the focus of public discussion, and any detail may affect the development of their careers.
Looking back on the development trajectory of the apprentices of Deyun Club, we have to sigh at the ups and downs. At the beginning of the article, it was pointed out: "Most of the apprentices of Deyun Club are no longer in the limelight, and some even temporarily retreat due to physical reasons.
These experiences tell us that in the traditional art field of cross talk, although talent is important, personal ethics cannot be ignored either. We have seen a steadily rising star like Meng Hetang, who is "low-key, obedient and well-behaved, and it is difficult to think about it".
At the same time, we have also witnessed "rising stars" like Zhang Yunlei and Zhang Jiunan, who have experienced twists and turns, as well as cases like Chen Xiaohua who ruined their futures due to momentary mistakes.
An excellent cross talk actor can not only make witty remarks on stage, but also maintain caution in his words and deeds in life, as Zhang Yunlei's example shows, although he has a handsome appearance and excellent singing skills, once there is controversy, it may cause his popularity to no longer be as hot as before.
Now, many of the once dazzling apprentices of Deyun Club have gradually faded out of public view due to various issues such as controversy and health problems. This situation makes people wonder: in the current era of rapid change, how should traditional art find a balance between integrity and innovation? How should cross talk actors adapt to the requirements of the new era while sticking to their hearts?
The future of Deyun Club may be hidden in the answers to these questions. In any case, we look forward to more new forces like Meng Hetang emerging to breathe new life into this ancient art form.
At the same time, we also hope that those actors who have temporarily left the stage will be able to regroup and bring joy to the audience again.
In the interweaving of tradition and modernity, Deyun Club and its apprentices are facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Their story is not only a history of personal struggle, but also a microcosm of the development of the entire cross talk art in the new era.
