Cross talk existed as early as the Song Dynasty, and the original name was "Xiangsheng" or "Xiangsheng", which is the meaning of imitation ventriloquist burlesque performance.

However, it has been more than 120 years since the development of the "dark elephant student" performed in the curtain to the "Ming cross talk" performed in front of the audience.

According to the records, the first person to say stand-up comedy in Beijing was Zhang Sanlu in the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, and then Zhu Shaowen, a Peking Opera clown actor, was forced by life to change his career to cross talk.

Zhu didn't care about face for the sake of his stomach and performed in the open air all day long. On the two bamboo boards he knocked in his hands were engraved two lines of poetry, "I am not afraid of being poor with a full stomach of articles, and I am poor with five carts of book history", venting his anger. The audience then affectionately called him Mr. Poor and Not Afraid.

In this way, "not afraid of poverty" became his stage name.

Before the performance of "Not Afraid of Poverty", he first held a handful of white sand with his right hand and sprinkled words on the ground, singing his self-composed "Taiping Lyrics" while sprinkling, and waited for the audience to gather in a circle before the official performance. Sometimes he learned to sing Peking Opera, sometimes he explained the meaning of words, sometimes he told jokes and stand-up comedy. Later, I felt that one person was too monotonous, so I asked questions and answers with the students, teasing each other, and gradually evolved into lip-synching.

"Changing Careers", "The Big Bodyguard", "Yellow Crane Tower" and so on in traditional cross talk are all his creations. He became the founder of the "Zhu School" among the three major schools of cross talk that began to form at that time. (The other two factions are the "Ah Pai" represented by A Yantao and the "Shen Pai" represented by Shen Changfu.) At present, most of the cross talk actors in the capital are from the Zongzhu faction.

The development of cross talk began with Zhang Sanlu and has gone through seven generations. If each generation finds an actor to be a representative, the seven generations are inherited in this way: Zhang Sanlu (first generation) - Zhu Shaowen (second generation) - Xu Youlu (third generation) - Jiao Dehai (fourth generation) - Zhu Kuoquan (fifth generation) - Hou Baolin (sixth generation) - Ma Ji (seventh generation).

If calculated according to this ranking, Guo Degang, who once worshipped Mr. Hou Yaowen (Hou Baolin's son) as his teacher, should be the eighth generation of cross talk.

In the process of development, cross talk has absorbed and melted the "miscellaneous" in ventriloquism, the "teasing" in the octagonal drum in the whole hall, the "penetration" in the storytelling, the "Taiping lyrics" in the lotus falling, and the witty performance in the funny Erhuang, etc., and formed its own artistic characteristics.

According to the words used to cross talk actors, this characteristic is to pay attention to "speaking", "learning", "teasing" and "singing".

In 05, it may be the most prosperous and heyday period of Deyun Club.

Many of the old gentlemen before are still there, and in addition to Guo Degang and Yu Qian, the new generation of Li Jing, He Yunwei, Cao Yunjin, Liu Yuntian and other "Deyun Four Youths" have also begun to emerge.

At this time, Guo Degang had just adapted a lot of classic traditional jokes from the life accumulated over the years, such as "Dream of the Western Expedition", "Yellow Crane Tower", "Wife and Child", "Jiewa", and there are also many original good jokes, such as "My Life", "I Want to Be Happy", "On the Status Quo of Fifty Years of Cross Talk", etc., these early cross talk jokes of Deyun Club are full of jokes, dense baggage, and very good-looking.

Especially in this era when cross talk has been impacted by sketches and pop songs, it has declined.

People suddenly discovered that cross talk can still be said like this! It can be so funny!

And at this time, Guo Degang praised others very much, and always made fun of Li Jing in the return section, "Li Jing Driving" "Said that Li Jing drove three miles, my mother, it's too exciting......!", "Li Jing's cousin" "Her photo was pasted on the door to ward off evil spirits, and it was pasted on the bed for contraception" and the like, which also made Li Jing popular.

He Yunwei's "Spitting Lotus Flowers", Cao Yunjin's "The Big Bodyguard", ......

Moreover, from a few people in the tea garden at the beginning of the year, to now the venue is full, and even the standing tickets are sold out, this kind of group has gone through hardships, and finally came to the bitter end, and the feeling that it is about to prosper makes everyone in Deyun Club full of energy, passion and hope.

This state of mind, after a few years, will be difficult to see.

It's a pity that it is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and prosperity, as has been the case since ancient times.

As Deyun Club became more and more popular, and made more money, but there were many accidents, first the old gentlemen gradually retired, and a group of veterans represented by the "Deyun Four Youths" also betrayed their teachers, left Deyun Club, and set up their own doors.

At the end of the day, that's all there is to it.

As the saying goes, the world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit.

Lin Feng remembered that in his previous life, he watched Guo Degang and Cao Yunjin on Weibo for many years, and they were still tearing each other apart, and then looking at the scene of their kindness and filial piety and happiness now, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Life is like a play, and drama is like life.

On stage, Guo Degang and Yu Qian were performing "Dream of the Western Expedition", Guo Degang's sentence "blonde hair closes eyes", coupled with his lively imitation performance of pretending to be blind, made the audience burst into laughter, and Ye Weiyu next to Lin Feng was also amused.

Looking at Guo Degang laughing and scolding on the stage, casually shaking a burden, or even an expression, it made the audience "call", and the applause was thunderous, as a previous life who had listened to Guo Degang's cross talk for more than ten years, this cross talk was even more of a person who had heard it I don't know how many times, Lin Feng couldn't help laughing.

I have to say that the charm of Guo Degang's cross talk can only be felt in the theater, his performance skills are all over the play, and his "hanging" skills to interact with the audience at any time can only be fully manifested on the spot.

Although there was a lot of vulgar content in his early cross talk jokes, like but after he said it, the audience was just happy and didn't think it was allowed.

"Haha, it's so funny!" Ye Weiyu leaned over and leaned into Lin Feng's ear, and said happily.

Seeing her smiling like a flower and her starry eyes glowing, Lin Feng also felt a lot happier in his heart.

"If you like to watch it, it's fine!" Lin Feng smiled softly.

Holding her hand, he no longer felt the rise and fall of Deyun Club that he knew in his previous life, and watched the performance seriously.

Guo Degang and Yu Qian bowed and stepped down, and behind them came up Xu Deliang and Mr. Wang Wenlin, who talked about the traditional counterpart comedy "Xijiang Moon".

Generally, a performance will allow more people to perform, and you can get money for one performance.

At this time, Deyun Club was still paying money on a piecework basis.

"Brother Qian'er, did you just pay attention? The two people sitting in the first row of the audience, I look a bit like Lin Feng. Coming to the backstage, Lao Guo pulled Yu Qian and said.

"Lin Feng, the richest man, Lin Feng?" Yu Qian was taken aback, he was seriously praising on the stage just now, and his attention was all on the hanging that was ready to pick up Lao Guo at any time, and he didn't pay attention to the audience at all.

"I'm looking at the statue, why don't we go and see it?" Lao Guo proposed.

"Okay" Yu Qian nodded, also a little curious.

Recently, Deyun Club has been publicized and reported by the media, and there are more and more viewers who come to the tea garden to listen to cross talk every night, and everyone feels that it is going to be popular.

But it's always almost meaningful.

Now if even Lin Feng comes to listen to their cross talk and is reported by the media, then Deyun Club is really going to be on fire.

As Deyun Club, which rose up with the Internet, the two of them would never underestimate Lin Feng's influence!

You must know that the base camp of Deyun Club fans is on Renren.com under Lin Feng! Deyun Club has also opened an official verified account on Renren.com.

Compared with Baidu Tieba, Renren.com, after the Supergirl phenomenon, is the base camp for today's Chinese fanatical fans.

The two quietly walked to the corner of the front desk and looked out.

"Hey, it's really Lin Feng!" Yu Qian said in a low voice.

On the middle table in the first row of the stage, a man and a woman, whispering to each other while watching the performance, are the Lin Feng couple who often appear in the headlines of major media.

A pair of golden boys and girls who are known as "men and rich women".

The most wealthy young couple in China today.
