The whole story of the disagreement between Degang Guo and Zhou Libo: "South Coffee" is no match for "North Garlic" after all.

When it comes to harmony, although they are all masters of "eating by mouth", because one is in Beijing and the other is in the world, it is recognized that they are maintaining the opposite situation of "Northern Guo and Southern Zhou". However, because of Zhou Libo's "garlic coffee theory", the two began a confrontation for several years. Until Zhou Libo was arrested and retired from the entertainment industry in the United States, the two talents did not like each other.

So, how did the feud between these two people happen, and what is the deep-seated reason? This has to start with the history of their respective fame.

197365438+1October 18. Degang Guo was born in a family with two employees in Tianjin. Because he was busy, his father put Degang Guo Jr. in the theater of Hongqiao Club when he went to work, and Degang Guo Jr. grew up in the "ocean of art". Degang Guo Jr. has made rapid progress in cross talk performance, because he has a talent for performing folk art since he was a child. He began to learn storytelling at the age of seven, and began to learn crosstalk at the age of nine, and was instructed by many famous crosstalk artists, including Yang Zhigang.

Young Degang Guo has an ambition: to be a famous crosstalk performer. Although this wish finally came true, what he didn't expect was that the process of realizing this wish was so difficult.

Many people know that Degang Guo used to drift north, but what many people don't know is that it is difficult for others to drift once, but he drifted three times. The first two times, he tried to join a professional cross talk performance group, but both ended in failure. 1995, aspiring young man Degang Guo (invincible Xiao Qiang) drifted northward for the third time. This time, he started from the bottom, singing for various troupes and doing odd jobs.

Those days should be the most embarrassing period in Degang Guo's life. In order to survive in Beijing, he once walked 22 kilometers in the second ring road of Beijing in the middle of the night, just because he had no money to take a taxi home. When he has no money to buy food, he can only cook flour into a paste and chat with onion sauce. On one occasion, Degang Guo couldn't even pay the rent because the boss was in arrears. When the landlord came to collect the rent, he could only hide in the corner of the room until midnight.

At the same time, his marriage also suffered misfortune. Degang Guo's first wife was Hu Zhonghui, a student in the crosstalk class of Tianjin Hongqiao Club. They got married on 1994. However, due to the failure of Degang Guo's business and the sale of the wedding room, their relationship deteriorated rapidly. In 1996 and 1996, Hu Zhonghui gave birth to her son Guo Qilin, and their marriage came to an end. The son is raised by Degang Guo's parents.

After divorcing Hu Zhonghui, Degang Guo met his current wife, Wang Hui, but their marriage was not smooth. Because Degang Guo had almost nothing at that time, Wang Hui's parents didn't allow them to go. Because of Wang Hui's infatuation and elopement with Degang Guo, they finally became a couple.

In this difficult period, Degang Guo is not decadent. He has been practicing the basic skills of cross talk, insisting on creating cross talk jokes whenever he has the opportunity, and at the same time, he has made some colleagues with roots in Beijing and gradually expanded his strength and influence. Moreover, these tragic experiences of Degang Guo's early years did not bring him all the pain, but became the classic source of his cross talk.

From 65438 to 0996, Degang Guo, Zhang Wenshun, Jing Li and others founded the Beijing Crosstalk Conference, which was the predecessor of Deyun Society. But at the beginning, it can only be described as empty. The audience of each performance is sometimes less than 10, which is less than the number of actors. In 2000, Degang Guo met Yu Qian, a good partner of his life. For the first time, they teamed up and performed cross talk "Tie Dolls" in the outdoor square in the suburbs of Beijing.

In the history of Degang Guo's fame, there were two famous people. One is Yu Qian, whose family is well-off, the typhoon is calm and natural, and his skill is extraordinary, which complements Degang Guo's witty and clever teasing. Many times, the burden of money is "praised", and the audience generally reflects that "only Yu Qian can hold it."

Another noble person is his current wife, Wang Hui. She not only eloped with Degang Guo for love regardless of her parents' opposition, but also has always been a loyal fan of Degang Guo. In order to support her boyfriend's career, she gave up her career, studied cross talk with him, and even sold her family property and car for him.

With the support of Wang Hui and Yu Qian, Degang Guo's crosstalk career gradually improved. In 2003, the Beijing Crosstalk Conference was officially renamed Deyun Society. In 2004, Kang Dapeng, the host of Happy Teahouse, a literary channel of Beijing People's Broadcasting Station, discovered Degang Guo and his Deyun Society. After the audio of their cross talk was broadcast on Beijing Literature and Art Radio, it caused a sensation all over Beijing.

In just a few months, Degang Guo and his Deyun Society were completely on fire. By June 5438+00, 2004, tickets for Deyun Society were not available to the general audience, and they were all controlled by scalpers. At the same time, the cross talk audio of Deyun Society also spread all over the country through the Internet.

After nearly 65,438+00 years in Beijing, Degang Guo has finally become a master of phonology and has her own fan group "Wire". Today, with the gradual decline of crosstalk industry, Degang Guo and his Deyun Society have sprung up as the only miracle in crosstalk industry.

Zhou Libo, 6 years older than Degang Guo, was born in Huangpu District, Shanghai, 1967, and his ancestral home is zhenhai district, Ningbo, Zhejiang. Zhou Libo has a gift for funny performances since he was a child, which makes him stand out among his peers. 198 1 Zhou Libo, who is only 14 years old, stood out among 2800 applicants and was admitted by Yan Shunkai, a teacher of Shanghai Funny Troupe.

Shanghai was the most prosperous time in the 1980s, and crosstalk performances were very popular. The unique environment and his own talent made Zhou Libo famous very early. /kloc-started performing at the age of 0/8 and soon became popular in Shanghai. He was once called a young comedian with Qian Cheng.

However, fate doesn't seem to want Zhou Libo to be too smooth. 1990, shortly after becoming famous, Zhou Libo fell in love with Jason, who was 6 years older than him, and was married at that time. Because the woman's parents strongly opposed the marriage, Zhou Libo, who was only 23 years old, accidentally injured Jason's father in a dispute, resulting in his eye injury. He was sentenced to 205 days in prison and forced to quit the stage.

After this misunderstanding and twists and turns, Jason married him under great pressure, and his father-in-law shook hands with him, but he was never able to perform on stage again. Over the years, Zhou Libo has been overseas, through business and abroad, but he has always been concerned about the performing arts.

These life accumulation and social experience of doing business and going abroad have also accumulated rich performance materials and new artistic breakthroughs for Zhou Libo, who has been looking for opportunities to concentrate on the new stage. June, 5438+February, 2006, after a long silence 16, with the encouragement of Yan Shunkai and his good friend Guan, he finally came back to perform at Shanghai Anfu Road Drama Salon.

At the end of 2008, the Shanghai-style Qingkou "Talking and Laughing for 30 Years" created by Zhou Libo caused a strong sensation in Shanghai, and it was hard to get a ticket. From more than 200 drama salons to more than 600 Lanxin Grand Theatre, and then from more than 900 Shaw Stage to 1 300 Meiqi Grand Theatre, it is becoming more and more popular. Then, his works "Laughing about Shanghai" and "I am crazy about money" also quickly swept the country.

As the founder of Shanghai style Qingkou, Zhou Libo put on a good show with a small split head, a decent suit and several bottles of mineral water, one bite for each person and a reminder clip. In his performance, there are both traditional gimmicks and fashion jokes; There are talk shows, talent shows and SMS interactions. He often integrates his life feelings into talk shows, and a few words can amuse the audience.

In 2009, Zhou Libo began to enter the TV industry and cooperated with Phoenix Satellite TV to create a TV talk show "One Week Libo Show", which was rated as the most influential person in Asia by CNN. Zhou Libo's peak time should be regarded as New Year's Eve at 20 1 1. Dragon TV broadcasted Zhou Libo's program "One Man" for five and a half hours in the Spring Festival Evening. Zhou Libo talked about people's livelihood in Shanghai style, and the ratings of that day were second only to CCTV Spring Festival Evening, creating the myth of personal talk show.

But it didn't last long. From here on, Zhou Libo's career and life began to decline. Although, in 20 12, Zhou Libo joined Zhejiang Satellite TV as the "dream ambassador" of the program "China Dream Show". In 20 13, I worked with Li Yong as the host of Dance Out of My Life on CCTV, but the scenery was no longer there.

The first is his married life. In 20 12, Zhou Libo divorced Jason, who had shared weal and woe, and soon married hujie, a "rich woman". Jason, his ex-wife, revealed in Weibo that Zhou Libo had a history of taking drugs for four years because of compensation disputes, and during his hospitalization in Jason, he hooked up with hujie and forced Jason to sign a divorce agreement.

Second, he broke with his benefactor. It can be said that his rapid popularity is inseparable from Guan, and after his popularity, he also paid great respect to this big brother. However, after 20 10, news of their discord began to spread one after another, and they even broke up openly in media interviews. Zhou Libo even boasted that "abalone can't always be used to cook rice", which caused an uproar.

On the morning of 20 17 65438+ 10/9 12.7, American police stopped Zhou Libo's car in Leitington and found a colt mustang pistol and two bags of crack cocaine in the back seat. The police immediately arrested Zhou Libo and another man in the car, Tang Shuang. After Zhou Libo was arrested, his current wife, Hu Jie, immediately posted bail to the police and released Zhou Libo on bail.

However, because of the great influence of drug abuse, and Zhou Libo is usually troubled by negative news and has not accumulated a good reputation, the wall has been knocked down by everyone. After his accident, the whole network cheered. Zhou Libo can no longer whitewash himself, and his position has been declining again and again. Up to now, Shanghai style has basically disappeared.

When Zhou Libo's remarks came out, they immediately caused an uproar. They not only offended Degang Guo and his tightrope walker, but also offended all northerners, satirizing not only the habit of northerners to eat garlic, but also the northern culture, provoking the already controversial differences between the north and the south.

Later, the media asked Degang Guo about Zhou Libo's "coffee garlic theory", and Degang Guo himself never responded to this matter. But not responding does not mean that there is no attitude. Later, Degang Guo's new work "You Want Elegance" was included in the 20th Anniversary Series of Degang Guo, in which a paragraph "Elegance and Custom Theory" was considered as a public response to Zhou Libo's "Coffee and Garlic Theory":

Degang Guo also said in an interview: "The elegance and vulgarity of the world cannot be judged from external forms. Elegant and popular. Drink coffee with garlic, and the autumn water will grow together. I can smell the slag when many elegant people wear perfume. "

At this point, the feud between the two men kicked off, almost tense. They openly challenged each other in various media interviews, and the media was willing to fan the flames, which further aggravated their contradictions and oppositions. Until Zhou Libo was arrested in the United States and gradually retired, the situation of "Degang Guo in the north and Zhou Libo in the south" was completely monopolized by Degang Guo, and the feud came to an end.

Although as the saying goes, the winner is king and the loser is the enemy, many things cannot be judged by the final result, but by comparing the history of their fame and the beginning and end of this feud, we can still see the reason why Zhou Libo finally lost power:

Zhou Libo became famous at the age of 18, but he was sentenced to quit the stage at the age of 23 due to accidental injury. After his comeback, he prospered only because he seized a good opportunity and his personal talent in language. However, the art form of Shanghai style Qingkou itself is relatively simple, lacking variability and performance, and the performance with the nature of current affairs commentary is difficult to exist as a mature art form for a long time.

As its founder, Zhou Libo did not continue to study the development and changes of Shanghai style Qingkou after he became famous. On the contrary, I am intoxicated with my brilliant achievements and keen to participate in various variety activities, which makes Shanghai-style Qingkou not keep pace with the times, and it is only a matter of time before it is abandoned by the public.

On the other hand, Degang Guo has been groping in Beijing since 15 years old. When he was down and out, his wife and children really separated. He didn't become famous until he was 3 1 year old, but even in the most difficult times, he never gave up learning cross talk day after day and practicing basic skills.

After becoming famous, he did not insist on exposing the media in exchange for popularity. Instead, he manages his Deyun Society wholeheartedly, cultivates new people, constantly injects fresh blood and various art forms into his cross talk, and always keeps up with the pace of the times and the changes of the audience's tastes. Only in this way can the cross talk industry become increasingly depressed today, and the Deyun Society in Degang Guo still rises suddenly, even affecting the whole world.

Degang Guo's fame is full of hardships. When he first arrived in Beijing, he could hardly stand up because no one took him in. Later, after the establishment of Deyun Society, she became famous under Hou. Therefore, he was very grateful to his teacher Hou, and after Hou died, he bravely funded his daughter Hou Zan to pay off his teacher's debts.

In family life, Degang Guo and his current wife are also model couples who share weal and woe and support each other. Degang Guo, who seldom shows his love in front of others, sends a message to wish his wife a happy birthday in Weibo every year. Although Degang Guo was in constant trouble after he became famous, his friends around him, such as Wang Xiaofei, Murphy, Xiaogang Feng, Huang Jianxiang and Pan Changjiang, spoke highly of him.

On the other hand, after Zhou Libo was arrested in the United States, he was fully applauded and pushed down by everyone because his usual moral quality and ways of dealing with people were too criticized.

On the moral level, Zhou Libo has been in prison, which is considered as a criminal record in law. He was exposed to drugs when he divorced his ex-wife. Although there is no real evidence, his image has plummeted. But even this bad influence failed to make him reflect on what he had done. To some extent, otherwise he would not go abroad to commit crimes again.

In dealing with people, he turned against his "big brother" because of conflicts of interest and forced his ex-wife to divorce because of extramarital affairs. I often have a big fight with netizens, and I have many contradictions with co-stars because of improper words and deeds. These actions aroused countless antipathy and hostility towards him. Zhou Libo's fate is the best proof of the so-called "if morality is not in place, there will be disaster"
