Guo Degang and Zhang Wenshun met in those years and became good partners. They also co-founded Deyun Club together, becoming partners and friends.
also thinks about it. When Guo Degang was in Peking Drift, the first thing he did was to find a "backer" in the mainstream cross talk circle. Finding a famous cross talk artist and apprentice might be his top priority. According to legend, Guo Degang thought of worshipping Ma Sanli, Li Jindou and others as teachers, but the result was not so satisfactory. It doesn't matter if the teacher is not successful. After all, what a teacher needs is fate. It is really not easy for the fledgling Guo Degang to be so famous.
It’s just that, what’s even worse is that Guo Degang was even looked down upon by his colleagues when he was in BeiDiao. He returned to the small theater to perform and his business was often robbed, which was really helpless.
Later, Guo Degang met Zhang Wenshun, Li Jing and others, and together they founded the Beijing Crosstalk Conference, which is now Deyun Club. Although the livelihoods of each of them were very difficult at the beginning of the founding of Deyun Club, Zhang Wenshun was still very friendly to Guo Degang and helped him a lot. The two have also performed countless performances together, which is quite tacit understanding. At that time, Guo Degang had no teacher and no school. Zhang Wenshun was so good to Guo Degang. He was more than 30 years older than Guo Degang, and he was considered an old senior in the cross talk circle. Many people would think that Zhang Wenshun was the teacher of Guo Degang. Doesn't this solve the problem of teacher succession?
Under the premise that he was hopeless to enter the mainstream and had no way of apprenticeship, Guo Degang seemed to have given up his apprenticeship at the time. He said that
Guo Degang did not expect to go to Beijing to seek development in the mainstream cloud society. Mixed up.
I remember that when Guo Degang went north, he still called himself the apprentice of Tianjin cross talk actor Yang Zhigang. At that time, Yang Zhigang was also considered a famous person in the cross talk circle. Later, it was said that Yang Zhigang did not admit to having this apprentice, so Guo Degang was also very embarrassed.
Later, I also wanted to borrow the name of an apprentice to get a mentor. As mentioned earlier, it is said that Guo Degang also went to Ma Sanli, Li Jindou and other famous comedians, but they were all rejected.
The reputation is too loud. I don’t dare to expect it. If my reputation is okay, I don’t want to. Since there is no way to apprentice, then don't worship. Therefore, at that time, Guo Degang wanted to earn some living expenses by performing. There was no chance for performances in the big theater, so he had to return to the small theater.
Guo Degang really loves cross talk, and he also wanted to rely on this way to eat. At that time, the performance was also very hard. After several performances, I met local cross talk actors Zhang Wenshun, Li Jing and others, and they founded Deyun Club because of their common hobbies.
In the early days when the Deyun Society was founded in Germany, the Deyun Society was also very difficult and was often squeezed out by its peers. So what Guo Degang looks forward to at this time is more performances every day, no matter how big or small, he will participate because he wants to live.
had no hope of apprenticeship before, and now in the early stage of his business, Guo Degang, who lives in the heat of the water every day, had no intention of thinking about apprenticeship, and he might have given up the idea of apprenticeship at that time.
So when they met Zhang Wenshun, they were more of a partnership relationship. As partners, the idea at this time was to hope that the crosstalk industry would be more prosperous, and Deyun Club would have a better development.
Guo Degang wants to worship a famous artist. It seems that Zhang Wenshun will not change him and Deyun Society too much.
Guo Degang is not a casual apprentice. You should also find someone who is more famous. Zhang Wenshun's fame at the time was really far behind the mainstream cross talk celebrities. How about Guo Degang at that time was so down, and the cross talk actors who talked with him about the cross talk were really average.
Although Guo Degang did not worship before, he still wondered when he would be more famous. Moreover, obeying Zhang Wenshun as a teacher can't change much. At that time, Zhang Wenshun had an average influence in the cross talk circle, and worshipping did not have much impact on Guo Degang's career.
In addition, Zhang Wenshun's own mentorship in the cross talk circle is also controversial. At that time, Zhang Wenshun was the first scientist of the Beijing Quyi Troupe and was under the tutelage of the well-known cross talk actor Tong Dafang. In the 1950s, he entered the Beijing Quyi Troupe as a college student and was also very popular, but Zhang Wenshun was expelled because of his relationship.
also left a statement that he was expelled from the Quyi troupe for "joking", so Zhang Wenshun was also quite "bad". He left the Quyi troupe to buy Zhang Wenshun and did not apprentice anymore. Therefore, Zhang Wenshun himself is quite embarrassed in terms of mentorship.
At the same time, as the founder of Deyun Society, he had a close relationship with Guo Degang back then. He also knew that the young and vigorous Guo Degang needed the support of a famous cross-talker, and worshipping him as a teacher could not give him what he wanted. Instead, it may affect his development.
Or in other words, few people in the cross talk circle wanted to accept Guo Degang as a disciple, and accepting him as a disciple might be a lot of pressure. Later, when Hou Yaowen accepted Guo Degang as a disciple, he was able to imagine the opposition he received.
Guo Degang and Zhang Wenshun are also mentors and friends. They may also be the best arrangement for them to become partners.
Guo Degang and Zhang Wenshun have met the founders of the Deyun Society, and they have met with friends from Deyun Society. What, Zhang Wenshun never left.
In addition, Guo Degang and Zhang Wenshun also partnered in many crosstalk works on the screen in their early years, and the two partners also have a tacit understanding of crosstalk. In Guo Degang's most difficult period, it was really enviable to have such a partner and such a good friend.
Zhang Wenshun's help to Guo Degang is no less than the word "Master". As an old gentleman, Guo Degang also respects him very much. They are both teachers and friends, so that's enough. After Zhang Wenshun passed away, Guo Degang also hung his portrait in the backstage of Deyun Society, alongside the portrait of Guo Degang's master Hou Yaowen, which shows that Guo Degang respected him.
Guo Degang did not follow Zhang Wenshun as a teacher, and the two became very good partners and friends. Later, Guo Degang was fortunate enough to worship the famous cross talk actor Hou Yaowen, which is a better arrangement.
In general, Guo Degang did not worship Zhang Wenshun as a teacher. Firstly, Guo Degang had no way of apprenticeship, and he had cut off the idea of apprenticeship. Secondly, Zhang Wenshun was not very famous at the time. Maybe Zhang Wenshun didn't even think about accepting him. . This may also be because the two have not enough fate to be a teacher and apprentice. Even if they don't have a teacher, they are in a "teacher and friend" relationship.
