Does China have a stadium that can accommodate 100,000 people?
The person who caused this problem was not a star or a fan, but the crosstalk actor Guo Degang.
The reason is that Guo Degang once said in an interview that he held a commercial performance at the Dalian Stadium, with an audience of 100,000.
Some curious netizens went to check the venues where Guo Degang was performing in Dalian and the capacity of the Dalian Stadium, and found that the so-called "100,000 people per game" is most likely the result of Guo Degang's talk.
Interestingly, in the same interview, Guo Degang also put forward another point of view, cross talk can educate people, and works of art can educate people.
For netizens who are familiar with Guo Degang, didnāt Guo stab himself with a boomerang? Because in 2005, he shouted on stage that "crosstalk is not for educating people," and in an interview in 2007, he even publicly claimed that "it is a crime for crosstalk to educate people."
In fact, if you know Guo Degang and Deyun Society, you will find that there are many "boomerang" incidents happening around Deyun Society and Guo Degang.
In March 2024, Guo Degang started a live broadcast to chat with netizens. During the live broadcast, he also started giving rewards, and he hit two more "boomerangs" in one go.
A boomerang comes from something that Guo Degang has emphasized many times in variety shows: Why don't I let the actors of Deyun Club broadcast live? We cannot compete with the audience for the platform.
Another boomerang came from the content promoted by Gang Siās self-media. When Yue Yunpeng and Qin Xiaoxian started the live broadcast, Guo Degang once told them not to start giving rewards. āNot giving rewardsā was praised by the self-media as a family tradition of Deyun Club.
Wait a minute, crosstalk can educate people, host live broadcasts, and provide rewards... Why does Deyun Club always have this kind of "boomerang"
1. Hype needs
Guo Degang publicly preached that "crosstalk cannot educate people" once In 2005, before he became famous, and again in January 2007, when he had just become famous for a year, he needed to do one thing, use "wrong truths" to create attention or maintain popularity.
Cross talk emphasizes "If you don't make sense, you won't laugh." Guo Degang knows this very well. He also understands that if you express your normal opinion seriously that "cross talk should be entertaining and entertaining for both refined and popular people," although it is 100% correct, it will definitely not arouse public opinion. Interest cannot cause controversy, but speaking out some falsehoods publicly will attract more traffic.
After all, fallacies are fallacies and cannot last a lifetime. Once Guo Degang becomes a big star, these fallacies will become a historical burden. So in 2012, Guo Degang changed his words in an interview, "Crosstalk can educate people."
Guo Degang's doing this is like a certain star "putting back the clothes he took off one by one." In the past, he could "take off his clothes" in order to become famous. For the sake of fame, he doesn't care about reputation. Now that he has been famous for a long time, he needs to be sanctimonious. Itās natural to put the clothes you took off back on when the time comes.
In order to reduce the sharpness of this boomerang, Guo Degang also forcibly explained, "I said at the time (it was a crime for cross talk to educate people) maybe I didn't make it very clear."
2. The need for character design
Powerful stars generally do not need to create characters, just let their works speak for themselves. However, popular celebrities generally like to create characters, and if their works are not convincing, then use characters to make up for the lack of strength and works.
Guo Degang is also good at establishing characters. As for why the actors of Deyun Club are not allowed to conduct live broadcasts, Guo Degang must have considered many issues. For example, once an actor talks uncontrollably, it is easy for something to happen and Deyun Club will be implicated ( Guo Degangās assistant Wang Nan is an example), once an actor becomes popular through live broadcast, it is easy to lose control (Zhao Jiaban also has a case), and once an actor becomes addicted to live broadcast, it is easy to delay normal work, etc.
Originally, it was not impossible to honestly admit these concerns to the outside world. After all, there are real cases. However, Guo Degang just likes to create characters. He insists on using "cannot compete with the audience for the platform" as the reason for external publicity, which suddenly pushed himself to the forefront. The moral high ground has won a wave of traffic and praise, and has even been compared with Zhao Benshan by some self-media, making Guo Degang appear to be smarter and nobler.
However, things will always change. When Deyun Club changes its business strategy and starts live broadcasting, those characters who were originally based on the moral high ground will turn into boomerangs and pierce towards them.
If I had spoken honestly and not made up my mind blindly, wouldnāt the boomerang piercing my body not hurt so much now?
3. Competition needs
There is a competitive strategy called "I have what others don't have, and I am better when others have it." However, in the matter of "rewarding for live broadcasts", the competitive strategy implemented by some self-media is "I have what others have." scold".
Jiang Kun was invited to participate in the "Big Game Talk" program organized by the short video platform. Since this was a platform account, the platform did not close rewards. However, he was attacked and ridiculed by many self-media.
Cao Yunjin started a live broadcast and said that cross talk earns rewards based on skills, which is the same as early cross talk actors earning rewards based on skills. However, he has also been attacked and ridiculed by many self-media for many years.
These self-media also compared Cao Yunjinās tipping with Yue Yunpeng and Qin Xiaoxianās not tipping, and came to the conclusion that ānot tipping is more nobleā, and even raised not tipping to the height of Deyun Clubās family tradition.
As a result, when Guo Degang launched a live broadcast to reward and accept gifts from the audience, those words from Gangsiās self-media that attacked his colleagues were like boomerangs directed at Deyunshe and Guo Degang. Although this boomerang was not sent by Lao Guo, But he is also among those who bear the consequences.
4. Forced by the situation and increased awareness
Take the live broadcast and tipping as an example. If Deyun Club's business is booming and the actors' announcements and schedules are all fully booked, it is estimated that the actors of Deyun Club, including Guo Degang, will have neither time nor energy. 3. There is no need to broadcast live and give rewards. If you donāt believe it, how many top celebrities in the entertainment industry live broadcast and reward all day long?
Therefore, when some actors do not act in shows but instead broadcast live online to chat with fans to earn rewards, we generally think that it is most likely that they are forced by the situation to go online to make money and compete with the audience. platform.
A typical example is an old actor from Deyun Club. He has been homeless for more than ten years and was called a "nobody" by his fans. In the end, he had to make money by scolding his former colleagues online. Isn't it annoying?
In addition to being forced by the situation, it is estimated that there is also a factor of improving cognitive level. Take Guo Degang as an example. He has very limited academic qualifications and limited cultural level. He will inevitably fall into low-level extreme thinking when it comes to cognition of some issues. Typical examples include "It is a crime to educate people through cross talk".
When Guo Degang got older and matured, he would look back and regret his childish words back then, so he would take the initiative to revise his views and begin to admit that "crosstalk should be entertaining and educational." The results are reflected in Specific things will give netizens a "boomerang" look and feel.
