What happened to the history of "crosstalk performers" under siege, from being popular all over the country to being ignored?

1998, Degang Guo went to Beijing for the first time and was introduced to Yu Qian. At that time, he was still an unknown crosstalk performer in Beipiao, and it was still more than ten years before he became the "crosstalk emperor".

However, in June 5438+ 10 of the same year, the well-known Hunan dialect crosstalk actor "Qi Zhibing" received an invitation from the Spring Festival Gala crew.

At that time, the soldiers were full of ambition and boundless scenery. For him, having a glib mouth is the key to success in life.

But what he never expected was that a few years later, because of this "wonderful mouth", he was "forced" to disappear in the cross talk circle because of his outspoken mouth.

What did he experience from the fire spread all over the country to "disappearing", soldier?

( 1)

Because of his wonderful mouth, the early life of soldiers can be described as smooth sailing.

1968165438+1October 8th, then known as "Ren Jun", he was born in Changsha, Hunan Province.

The child has been diagnosed with ADHD since childhood. This disease sounds scary, but it doesn't affect children's intelligence, but they are emotionally impulsive.

Ren Jun spent his whole student days in his hometown, studying in Yanwachi Primary School in Changsha, Changsha No.1 Middle School and Hunan Normal University.

At that time, Ren Jun achieved excellent results and loved literature and art. ..

When I was in high school, I participated in the New Year's Day cultural performance held by the school and won the first prize for performing stand-up crosstalk "Speaking Mandarin".

This should be the first art award in his life, which not only shows his love and talent for cross talk, but also greatly encourages his future life choices, because he knows that he has a wonderful mouth that can make people laugh and win glory.

After graduating from college, the soldier began to "eat by mouth", and all his work was related to this "wonderful mouth"

From 199 1 to 1993, he worked in the performance team of a political department of China People's Liberation Army, and finally turned his hobby into a career, and he enjoyed it and won many awards.

1993, Ren Jun, who was demobilized and returned to Changsha, applied to work in Changsha People's Broadcasting Station for a period of time.

At that time, according to his status as a demobilized soldier, he gave himself a stage name "soldier" and planned to continue to realize his literary pursuit on the radio.

Although the next year, because he failed to renew his contract with the radio station, the soldiers had to stay at home. Fortunately, however, soldiers with "wonderful mouths" do not lack a platform for "eating by mouth".

Looking back at the 1990s, China was in the prosperous period of market economy. Many trendsetters broke away from the system and made their own living, and many of them made a fortune.

At that time, the entertainment industry in Changsha flourished, and various dance halls and bars sprang up like mushrooms after rain. Soldiers rely on their cross talk talent to tour local entertainment places and make money by hosting programs and cross talk.

Although there is no problem with income, it is too late to realize the dream of getting rich, because there are many similar runners, but it is difficult to find a high-level crosstalk partner.

Just when the soldier gave up his lofty ideals and concentrated on making money in entertainment places, he was reunited with a "big brother" who might change his future life.

Moreover, this eldest brother used to be his first cross talk teacher.

In 1984, the soldier who was still a high school student said a stand-up comedy at the school party and won the first prize. He was very excited.

Yang Qizhi, his future crosstalk teacher and partner for many years, has been transferred from the Army Art Troupe to the Hunan Quyi Artists Association, specializing in crosstalk creation and performance.

Born in 1953, the veteran of the literary and art front whose stage name is "Qizhi" is not from Hunan, but he has worked and lived here for a long time and eventually became an important figure in promoting the cross talk of the Southern School.

The connection between soldiers and Qizhi is in Changsha Martyrs Park.

At that time, Yang Qizhi was practicing his new crosstalk with his partner in the park to prepare for the upcoming national crosstalk competition. For two days in a row, a short and thin boy in a blue school uniform found this remote corner and stood by and watched quietly.

When they finished practicing, the boy finally ran up to Yang Qizhi and said, "Teacher, my name is Ren Jun, and I study in No.1 Middle School. I especially like cross talk. Can you teach me? "

Yang Qizhi was moved by the young soldier's sincerity and told him where he lived.

From then on, the soldier took a tape recorder to Yang Qizhi's house every weekend and began to study seriously from the most basic knowledge of crosstalk.

Although this mentoring relationship was not very formal, in the following years, the soldiers never denied that Yang Qizhi was their original crosstalk instructor.

Therefore, one day in 1995, when the two met unexpectedly in a performance occasion, the soldier naturally asked: Do you want us to perform together and make money together? Yang Qizhi was very happy. He knows the level of his former students, and he is also happy to find a suitable partner.

The two hit it off, became a group of "intellectual warriors" and began to run around and perform.

Every afternoon, they go to Qizhi's office in Hunan Federation of Literary and Art Circles to create works. In the evening, they take new jokes to the karaoke bars to perform. Because the economy is not well off, Qizhi rides an old motorcycle and carries soldiers around rain or shine.

After more than a year of hard work, this pair of mentoring finally became the most popular funny group in Changsha entertainment venues.

It is said that since 1996, they have to run five venues almost every night, and their business is too busy. Also in this year, they were invited to participate in the variety show "Lucky 372 1" in Shi Jing, Hunan Province. An interesting "upstairs and downstairs" made the audience happy and received rave reviews.

In view of this, the TV station specially opened up a series of programs for them, so the two of them successively created and performed classic cross talk jokes such as "I am 1 10", "Examining thieves" and "Funeral".

Through the TV media, the fame of Qizhi and soldiers went out of Changsha and spread throughout Hunan and even the whole southern region.

At that time, famous crosstalk performers performed more than 200 performances a year, while "Qizhibing" could perform 1500 performances a year.

Of course, the most beautiful moment of this pair of mentoring is on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Evening.

The Spring Festival Gala is the most important talent show stage in the entertainment circle, and it is the holy land that all artists dream of, not to mention that the Internet has just taken shape at the end of last century.

1998 After receiving the invitation of the Spring Festival Evening, the couple were very surprised. Their carefully polished cross talk work "Free Eating" passed the first and second trials of the Spring Festival Evening after a rigorous selection of twists and turns. In the meantime, they also experienced the thrilling experience of being "killed" and "resurrected" by the director group during the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Evening.

Fortunately, they finally boarded the stage of 1999 Spring Festival Evening, officially appeared in front of the national audience and became popular all over the country.

Make the people all over the country know that "there are cattle and Feng Gong in the north and strange soldiers in the south".

In just four years, the soldier went from obscurity to fire all over the country and became the most famous figure in phonology.

However, "prosperity will decline" seems to be an inescapable law, because "it is easy to start a business, but difficult to keep it"

The soldier reached the peak of his life with a wonderful mouth, but he "floated" in front of great fame and fortune. He was completely carried away by the overnight popularity, unable to grasp the balance between "true temperament" and "arrogance", and his outspoken words made him go downhill.

The beginning of the downhill road is the strange "split point" (crosstalk terminology, that is, no longer cooperation) between the partner of the soldier and his longtime mentor.

In the cross talk industry, tacit partners are as rare as caring couples. Therefore, the news that Qizhi and the soldiers terminated their cooperation not only shocked the phonograph industry, but also made the national audience talk about it.

Although the two parties did not publicly explain the reasons, from the media reports, we can draw the conclusion that the popular soldiers are more "floating" in all aspects.

Because the soldier is a joke, most jokes come from him. Naturally, he is more popular than Lao Qizhi, and he is increasingly dissatisfied with the 50-50 split model.

He turned the "wonderful mouth" into a "convenient mouth" and "cut off" the strange ambition of sharing weal and woe with himself.

According to media reports, the two announced the cessation of cooperation in 2003. But in fact, as early as a few years ago, the two had already buried the crisis of breaking up.

At that time, because of a cross talk joke, the master and the apprentice had a fierce quarrel.

The soldiers not only sharply criticized Qizhi, but also angrily refused to perform, so Qizhi had to cooperate with the host of the karaoke bar to tell a few short jokes temporarily.

Audiences who are familiar with them may notice that in the last two years of their cooperation, they hardly created new crosstalk works together.

As a big brother, Qizhi has been adjusting himself and trying to keep the soldiers.

In the karaoke bars where he often performs, he offered to change the host from the original "fantastic and private" to "private and fantastic"; In the last cooperation, he has been "carrying mineral water to the soldier's house for a while."

But in the end, he failed to do it. Late at night on February 28th, 2003, he received a phone call from a soldier:

"QiZhi, I don't think we need to hide anything. Let's break up. "

"What about the' consumer' party on March 15?"

After a moment of silence, the soldier replied, "I have other plans that day."

At this time, the soldiers were sought after by the national media and invited to perform in various places. Their financial resources were rolling in, and they felt it was time to change partners.

After all, "it is easy to share weal and woe, and it is an old adage to share weal and woe".

Since then, Soldier has chosen to partner with crosstalk actor Zhao Weiguo, and the two of them have also created and performed crosstalk works, such as Who Makes You Excellent and Toll Free. Although they have also achieved some repercussions, they are not as outstanding as those in the era of "enlightenment and private", and the response is enthusiastic.

Looking back on Qi Zhi and Da Bing's road to fame, we have reason to guess: Maybe it is because of Qi Zhi, a teacher and old friend who is more than ten years older than him that Da Bing didn't have an accident in his early years because he was outspoken.

When he left Qizhi, it was because he couldn't control his mouth that "disaster came out of his mouth."

In 2009, the soldiers signed a variety show and often invited some folk artists to perform imitation shows in the show.

In a program, the artist who performed on the stage dressed up funny and said:

"I want to sing the song" I really love you "by Hong Kong singer Huang Jiagou."

In all fairness, this behavior of "smashing celebrities (that is, joking on the spot)" is a common phenomenon in the comedy industry, but it is not appropriate at this moment.

Because according to the rules, the object of being "smashed" should be your other half or a very familiar friend.

Let's not mention Ka Kui Wong's master position in the Asian rock circle and his tragic fate of untimely death. We only talk about his relationship with the mainland comedy industry and the artists who performed this performance, but it doesn't matter!

This artist obviously wants to skillfully use Ka Kui Wong's name, but this funny way is very vulgar and disrespectful.

As the host, the soldier should make a rounder, but he read smoothly and then said glibly:

"The yellow dog is dead, and you will be angry if you don't die. When Ka Kui Wong performed in Japan, you died! "

After the program was broadcast, there was a flood of bad comments.

Not only fans of Ka Kui Wong, but also many music-loving audiences can't accept that soldiers make fun of a dead musician.

For a time, the soldiers were pushed to the forefront of public opinion, met with resistance and disgust, and even some netizens directly shouted for the soldiers to apologize!

He may feel very popular and in the spotlight. The soldier doesn't care about these public opinion trends. He responded by saying, "I'm just kidding."

However, he didn't realize that this not only failed to calm the anger of netizens, but also brought an unstoppable decline to his career.

Since then, the invitations received by soldiers have gradually decreased, and the chances of appearing in the news have gradually decreased.

But even though his career declined, the soldiers remained stubborn and refused to reflect.

In fact, he really should listen to the words of his colleague Degang Guo, who is also popular: "We can only talk about ourselves, our partners and colleagues, but not others."

Seven years later, the soldiers once again "brushed the screen" in the media.

On the afternoon of 20 16 12 1, a short video went viral on the internet. In the video, it is a comic actor soldier teacher who has not heard from for many years. At the scene of the car accident, he argued with others emotionally and choked the traffic police:

"Who are you?"

Video quickly spread throughout the online world and caused a sensation in reality.

Almost all the audience's first reaction was "The soldiers are so arrogant that they dare to accuse the traffic police!" As a result, just like seven years ago, the reputation of soldiers fell to the bottom again and was widely negatively evaluated.

Therefore, the soldiers had to urgently record the apology video and upload it to the Internet.

Obviously, the soldiers were dissatisfied with the handling of the traffic police at that time. In a rage, they blurted out this sentence, which attracted ridicule in the online world, instantly exhausted the original accumulated audience, and the already bad word of mouth completely fell to the bottom.

In all fairness, soldiers can handle this matter in a gentler and more appropriate way, instead of being notorious after getting their own apologies.

Even after a lapse of two years, he once again appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Evening as a sketch, which did not save much popularity.

If the soldiers look back at the scenery of the Spring Festival Gala with their teachers at the beginning of the Spring Festival 20 years ago, they should have all kinds of tastes in their hearts.

In the same year that soldiers were criticized for choking traffic police, another young actor, Yun-peng Yue, became popular in the music industry.

This "Xiaoping Clay", who is good at selling cute and playing cheap in the program, has been "floating" for a while in the face of flowers and applause. His temper in Deyun Society is also good, and his speech has begun to get out of control.

Seeing this situation, Degang Guo, his master, called him home for dinner and taught him seriously: To be a man, you should know your position, reflect on how you got here, and don't be carried away by small fame and fortune.

Yun-peng Yue, listen, restrain your youth and polish your skills seriously. Until now, 202 1, he is still active in the phonological circle and various TV variety shows, and has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Evening many times.

Imagine if this soldier had not left his good partner Qizhi, who is also a teacher and friend, would he have another world today?
