Guo Degang
“Sometimes you find that you have a limit and you work hard, but when you reach that limit, you know that you can go a little further. With your determination, you With your will, your intuition, and your experience, you can fly further." This is a classic saying from the car god Senna, which tells us that to achieve success, there must be a step-by-step process. This is true in personal life.
There are not so many soaring stories in the world, even in the materialistic entertainment industry. A crosstalk actor: Guo Degang understood this truth very early, and this is how he came to be. The classic saying "The fathers of the country can tolerate me and will not cause evil in the world" is widely circulated.
Guo Degang's sad acting career
When it comes to a platform for cross talk, the first thing that many people think of is Deyun Club. Mr. Guo Degang is the "elder" of Deyun Club The same character, every cross talk he performs on stage, whether online or offline, has a very large number of listeners, and more and more juniors decide to learn cross talk related knowledge because of his influence.
But when Mr. Guo Degang first engaged in cross talk interpretation, the road was not so easy. In his early years, Guo Degang could only perform in some small workshop-style cross talk groups. However, he was also a junior at that time. Compared with others who came in earlier than him, he was often excluded. According to his own later recollection, at that time, it was a real cross talk group. "There is no place to stand."
He has no way to perform on stage every day, because those who are older than him will not give so many opportunities to a newcomer. When he finally got the opportunity to be on stage, There are a group of people sitting in the audience, holding a small notebook in their hands to record what you say. If there is a problem with a certain sentence, it will be written down, and then reported to the relevant department.
Later. He has made some progress. In order to increase his popularity, Guo Degang participated in a "window challenge", which was to be locked in a shop window for forty-eight hours. All his food, clothing and sleep were exposed to the public, but at the same time he had to be in the shop window. Performing.
However, because the window glass was too thick, people outside could not hear what he said, but he had no other choice but to continue performing on his own, like a silent performer. A clown with no privacy, he had to do this to make a living.
But hard work paid off. After repeated attempts and performances, Guo Degang's superb cross talk art was recognized by the public. The cross talk stage gradually attracted many permanent audiences, and Guo Degang finally established a firm foothold in the cross talk world.
He decided to part ways with others and began to perform for the sake of "not making money from doing evil"
The profession of crosstalk actor is actually somewhat similar to those storytellers who sat in teahouses in ancient times. They mainly rely on their superb speaking skills to tell those anecdotes or some hot events in society, although it sounds like a free time. Bad, but in ancient times, many storytellers were important springboards for enemies to obtain local intelligence, and crosstalk actors, because of their large audience, may become hidden dangers in the opinions they convey to the audience.
So, in the 1980s and 1990s, the state did not explicitly support cross talk, but monitored it and controlled it within certain limits.
According to Mr. Guo Degang. I recall that at that time, the entire crosstalk world was filled with a smell of corruption, and many crosstalk actors approached crosstalk with a muddled mentality. Moreover, in 2004, the Beijing crosstalk group was ordered to have a large flow of people. How can people not be angry when they gather in a public square to listen to a lecture? But the crosstalk community is still in stagnant waters, and no one stands up to speak out on their behalf.
At that time, Guo Degang was willing to earn only two thousand yuan a month like them. However, due to the rejection from his peers, he went out to find his own way. This departure became a turning point in Guo Degang's life. From then on, he changed from a dog wagging his tail to beg for mercy and turned into a dragon that everyone admired. It was also at that time that Mr. Guo Degang began to say, "The fathers of the country can tolerate me and prevent me from doing evil in the world."
We can see that after Guo Degang became famous, he would not accept excessive commercial roles. I won’t do cross talk for the sake of doing cross talk, and I won’t do cross talk for money, but truly regard cross talk as the foundation for my livelihood. There is a saying in the cross talk world: "Before Guo Degang appeared, we could happily die with euthanasia. But after he appeared, it was difficult for us to die well." This is what Guo Degang brought to the cross talk world. Huge, monumental impact.
The two lines of poetry have a great background and also represent Guo Degang’s ambitions
"The fathers of Jiangshan can tolerate me and prevent me from doing evil in the world." These two lines are taken from "Jiangnan" One of the "Four Great Talents" - a poem "Zhi" by Tang Bohu. Tang Bohu was a famous poet and painter in the Ming Dynasty. In his early years, he won the first place in the provincial examination in the imperial examination. Later, he was involved in the imperial examination cheating case. He realized the dangers of officialdom and stayed away from it.
Tang Yin's "Zhi"
The general meaning of this poem is that Tang Bohu did not want to integrate with the world at that time, did not want to be a trader, and did not want to do business. I don’t want to work hard in the fields, and I don’t want to believe in Buddhism and place my hopes on those illusory things. I only want to make paintings and write poems based on my own preferences and what I am good at, and that is my entire source of livelihood.
The reason why Guo Degang was able to read this poem by Tang Bohu is related to his early experience as an actor. He also worked in the film industry in his early years and played the role of Tang Bohu in a movie. The movie didn't become a hit, but he still gained a lot from the movie. After getting to know the character in depth, he found that he was very similar to Tang Bohu.
They are all unwilling to abuse their talents just to have enough food, and let their proud craftsmanship become something like a cheap commodity, just to get some "sin money", Tang Bohu's song The poem "don't make money do evil in the world" won Guo Degang's heart. Later, he combined his life experience and added the sentence "the fathers of the country can tolerate me", and often put these two sentences in his poem. On his lips, it serves as a motto to warn himself.
Tang Bohu and Guo Degang are both talented artists. Although they specialize in different fields and live in different backgrounds, they are both people of high quality and will not be blinded by the world. That sentence Only then will Mr. Guo Degang still remember "Don't make money do evil in the world" after thousands of years.
Guo Degang
Guo Degang's difficult experience in his early years made him deeply understand the difficulty of making money, but when he had enough ability to ensure that he had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, he was unwilling to make those "Jiangshan elders" are disappointed and will not spend those "evil money" wantonly, let alone earn those "evil money".
Perhaps, at some point in Guo Degang’s decades-long cross talk career, he had long realized the long-term strategy that would allow everyone to “accommodate him.” This is why the name Guo Degang remains until now. It’s also the reason why it remains so popular in the cross talk world.
