20211118 is Degang Guo's 48th birthday. At the birthday scene, facing the birthday wishes of many disciples such as Yun-peng Yue and Guo Qilin, the great disciples of Deyun Society, Degang Guo choked up without saying a few words.
In an interview, Degang Guo once said that he is a person who is not very emotional, and it is not easy to cry in front of the media. But this time, there were very few tears, which was mixed with Degang Guo's too many feelings about his life experience: in the past, he was desperate and didn't know when to turn around; Today, he has achieved great success, fame and fortune, and a large number of talented people have stepped onto the stage. This was an unexpected ending when he was down and out.
1995, 22-year-old Degang Guo came to Beijing for the third time, with thousands of dollars in his pocket, thinking of learning from his teachers and getting ahead. The first two times 1988 and 1994 were all in vain.
This time, Degang Guo is going to be a grandson. "As long as any troupe is willing to take me in, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for them." However, even so, Degang Guo still faces the day when nobody cares.
In his first year in Beijing, he found almost nothing, so he had to find a cheap house in zui: at first he lived in a bungalow by the river, 150 yuan/month, and later he lived in Haidian, Daxing and Tongxian ... The farther he moved, the more miserable his life became.
Sometimes when the landlord comes to collect the rent, he can only pretend that he is not at home, listening to the landlord slam the door and swearing outside, and the atmosphere is afraid to breathe.
The rent is tolerable, but it is even more painful to have no money to eat. On the one hand, I really don't have much money. On the other hand, in order to save money, Degang Guo sometimes buys a packet of dried noodles, cooks them in a pot, mixes them with soy sauce and dips them with onions. Sometimes there is no money to eat, and when you are hungry, you simply drink cold water to satisfy your hunger, or read a book to divert your attention.
In order to survive, Degang Guo, who is nowhere to be found, can only go to the small Pingju Opera Troupe in the southern suburbs of Beijing to tell stories. One day, after an evening performance, he failed to catch the last bus. He had to walk back to Daxing Huangcun, more than 40 kilometers away from the troupe. He went back to the rental house, took off his shoes and got blisters on his feet. Then I started to have a fever, sold the outdated BB machine and bought some anti-inflammatory drugs.
At this time, Degang Guo, lying in bed, was hopelessly disappointed: at this time, if there was a car crash, he would happily forget all about it.
One day the following year, Degang Guo went to a small teahouse on the street for tea. After a while, he got acquainted with the people in the shop. Someone knew that Degang Guo was also a crosstalk performer, so they said, "Why don't you go up and talk about it?" This conversation is out of control.
The success of the teahouse gave Degang Guo hope. In order to make more money, and to revive the theater crosstalk, Degang Guo and several like-minded friends set up a team, named the Beijing Crosstalk Conference, which was the predecessor of Deyun Society.
In 2003, the Beijing Crosstalk Conference was officially renamed Deyun Society. I finally made a little money, and as a result, the theater was jealous and wanted a piece of it. There is no way to make trouble, so a group of people have to change places and start a new stove. Part of the audience base accumulated before was lost in vain.
The foundation of the newly established Deyun Society is still not stable, and even some daily expenses are still difficult to operate normally. In order to raise several thousand yuan, Degang Guo promised to participate in the recording of a variety show and complete the challenge of living in a transparent window of a shopping mall for 48 hours.
The short 48-hour program made Degang Guo feel a sense of shame that he had never felt before. His psychological defense line was destroyed in minutes and almost collapsed, but he persisted to the end.
In this way, Deyun Society, which has been in a bleak business, ushered in a turning point in 2004.
On June 5438+ 10, 2004, he was officially accepted as an apprentice after the famous crosstalk master. Several crosstalk masters and various media gathered at the grand ceremony, and the scene was very grand.
It was also from the second half of that year that Deyun Society officially improved.
However, with the prosperity of Degang Guo's career, there are more and more negative news. At that time, there were often people in disguise under the stage of Deyun Society. When they heard a sentence that might be problematic during the performance, they took a notebook and reported it to the relevant departments, trying to ban Deyun Society.
Degang Guo didn't want to explain them one by one, so he chose to be silent for a period of time and let himself settle down.
Every time I meet this scene, Zhang Wen, a businessman who has shared joys and sorrows with Degang Guo for more than ten years, will rush to the front: "If you have the ability to compete on the stage, there is nothing under the stage!" I want to fight, I have cancer in Zhang Wenshun, let me find him! "
When Degang Guo was besieged, two more people spoke. One is Ma Ji, a crosstalk master: "The appearance of Degang Guo made crosstalk hot again. This is a good thing, and this phenomenon is gratifying. " He also specially wrote the words "Deyun Society" for Degang Guo.
The other is Zhao Benshan. Ben and Degang Guo are strangers, and they have been unhappy for a long time. They drew their swords to help: "You can't do this. Degang Guo will have a good future. He will become a master in the future. "
Many years later, Degang Guo laughed at himself: "I would like to be your dog, but you don't want it. You're afraid I'll bite you. As a result, I became a dragon. "
2065438+August 3 1, 2006, the 20th anniversary of Deyun Society, sorting out the genealogy. Degang Guo published the Weibo, and one of the pictures wrote: The other two people who used the cloud character stage name deceived the world, betrayed human relations, betrayed the teacher for honor when they met difficulties, and falsely accused the teacher of cruelty. It seems that this shameless shame is outrageous, and it is effective for the police to take back the stage name and expel it from the estate.
These two people who used Yunzi's stage name and were expelled from their alma mater really meant something. One is He Wei Yun, and the other is Cao Yunjin.
Speaking of He Wei Yun, 1998, when Zhang Wenshun and Degang Guo first cooperated, at the age of 17, he was still a small audience of cross talk, but he would come to every performance without a stage name.
In 2002, Deyun Society moved from Zhonghe Theater to Guangde Building in Dashilan. At that time, basically all the venues were attended, and all the venues were sitting in the same seat.
Later, he was recruited by Degang Guo. At that time, there was no such thing as "cloud crane for nine days" Zhang Wenshun gave him a stage name "He Wei Yun", and he gradually became a big disciple of Degang Guo.
For He, it was the old artist who once paid tribute. "Zhang Wenliang" is a stage name, and the old gentleman's real name is Cha, and he is Jin Yong's cousin. Visible, He Wei Yun was in the eyes of Degang Guo's treatment and status is by no means ordinary.
The other is Cao Yunjin. In 2002, Cao Yunjin, then a high school student, wanted to learn crosstalk and worship a good teacher. The whole family helped him find a way.
Soon, by chance, Cao Yunjin and Degang Guo met. At that time, Deyun Society had just been established, and no one knew where the future of cross talk lay.
On the day when Cao Yunjin first met Degang Guo, he was puzzled: Who is this man, so young, can he be my master? Degang Guo saw his concern and immediately gave Cao Yunjin a traditional cross talk "Selling Cloth Head", saying: "The burden is shaken skillfully and forcefully, and the singing is loud and true." Cao Yunjin was persuaded and immediately bowed to Degang Guo.
Under the careful guidance of Degang Guo, Cao Yunjin's crosstalk skills have advanced by leaps and bounds. When he was in his twenties, he began to hold his own cross talk performance. He followed Lao Guo for the longest time and was also the most successful apprentice of Lao Guo.
However, it is precisely because of his good craftsmanship and early fame that Cao Yunjin has a sense of pride from the inside out. At that time, in Deyun Society, no one paid attention to it except Degang Guo Yu Qian. The impression given to the public was two words, impetuous! And the relationship and contradiction with Degang Guo, but also because of wage income, personal treatment and other factors, continue to deepen.
20 10 18 is Degang Guo's birthday. Cao Yunjin was late and drunk. After he came in, after toasting one by one, he suddenly knelt in front of the statue of Guan Gong and said, "I Cao Yunjin swear that I will go back to Deyun Society and I will be a XX!"
It was also in this year that Deyun Society encountered foreign invasion. Because "the villa encroaches on the public green space", Degang Guo and Beijing TV Station, which were forced to interview, were caught in a fierce lawsuit.
Master is at the forefront. On August 6th, Disciple He and his partner suddenly announced their withdrawal from Deyun Society. 165438+ 10. In October, Cao Yunjin also announced that he would quit Deyun Society together with his partner Liu Yuntian.
That year, Degang Guo, who has always been tough, finished singing "Weiyang Palace" with tears in her eyes, and couldn't help crying when she talked about He Weiyun in the program.
After Cao Yunjin left, a reporter interviewed Degang Guo, and Degang Guo's eyes were moist: "I haven't been hit so hard for so many years. I didn't expect that after zui, it was my relatives who really hurt me. "
In 20 16, Degang Guo rebuilt his genealogy and removed Cao Yunjin from Deyun Society. Although Cao Yunjin has quit Deyun Society for six years, the mentoring relationship between Degang Guo and Cao Yunjin was officially lifted on this day.
After the winter when disciples left, Deyun Society also ushered in a prosperous spring.
As early as that year, Mr. Zhang Wenshun, one of the founders of Deyun Society, gave Degang Guo the words "Clouds outside the clouds, dragons and boats all over the world" and accepted them in turn.
After so many years of development, Deyun Society has long been a star-making artifact with its own flow in the circle, with dozens of well-known "horns".
Today, there are nearly 100 apprentices in Yunhe and Xiao Jiu. In addition, Degang Guo officially announced that he would broadcast live on Tik Tok and recruit new apprentices for the whole network. He also said that he would teach a new generation of "dragon characters" this year. As soon as this move came out, it attracted many famous actors in the industry to "land on the beach".
Under the careful management of Degang Guo, Deyun Society has not only become stronger and stronger, but also started to March into new fields.
After so many years, Degang Guo said, "That is to say, I can survive. If I were someone else, I would have been on the grave. "
There are always different opinions about Guo Xiangsheng's performance style. Some people think it is vulgar, divorced from the mainstream and lacks some so-called positive energy. However, he always maintained his own style, formed his own school, and insisted on winning the support and appreciation of the public with Guo's humor.
When Degang Guo was 39 years old, he was invited to perform in Toronto. On the day of the performance, people were crowded and packed, and the popularity was evident. In particular, his wonderful performance on the stage with Mr. Yu Qian won everyone's applause.
Degang Guo was very happy and moved when he saw so many people supporting him in Toronto. His sweat for so many years was not in vain, and his previous sufferings were all worthwhile.
20 13 is the first time that Degang Guo appeared in the Spring Festival Gala. On the stage, I collaborated with Yu Qian on "Black sheep". The content of this program also attracted everyone to burst into laughter, and at the same time, more viewers witnessed the strength of Degang Guo.
February 8, 20 14 is the birthday of Degang Guo's beloved son Guo Qilin. He has always been strict with his son, but he wrote a loving letter from home on this Yi Day. "My son is eighteen, a few words." "Life, very not easy. It's hard to climb to heaven, and it's even harder to ask for help. Coptis chinensis is bitter, but it is more bitter without money. Rivers and lakes are sinister, and people's hearts are even more sinister. Spring ice is thin and human feelings are thinner. "
Just about a year ago, Degang Guo donated RMB 1 10,000 and countless medical supplies to the epidemic area ... In many people's minds, it was the "most difficult" year, and he brought warmth to countless people after going through hardships.
Today, Lao Guo lives a happy life. The poor boy who once looked forward to "having a table" now has everything: young and old, beloved crosstalk, Deyun Society, modest brothers, and a group of disciples including Yun-peng Yue ... Of course, there are difficulties, but he thinks this is the wealth of his life.
From a lonely teenager who was rejected thousands of miles away to the boss of Deyun Society today; Degang Guo said: "It is not time but experience to live clearly."
Don't bully the poor, God never shuts one door but he opens another. Come to the legendary swordsman again when the weather is fine.
