"Guo Degang Female Apprentice" comes back after 6 years, Deyun Club can dispel rumors with the program list

This week, Deyun Club's small theater program was released, and the social fans have made new discoveries. An actress who has disappeared on the stage of Deyun Society for 6 years has appeared on the list of the eighth team of Deyun Society. She is Xu Hedan .

On the afternoon of August 23, Xu Hedan and the youth team actor Xiao Limin staged a "Selling Appraisal Clothes", which completed her first cross talk show 6 years after she left the stage because of marriage and having children.

The reason why I want to add quotation marks to "Guo Degang's female apprentice" in the title is because the saying "Xu Hedan is Guo Degang's female apprentice" is still circulated in the market, and it is even written in the related reports about this comeback. of. In fact, it is necessary for to solemnly explain . strictly says that Xu Hedan is a student of the "Crane" subject of Deyun Society, a crosstalk actor of Deyun Society, and a student of Mr. Guo Degang, but not Guo Degang's female apprentice. This is not my random fabricated, but after repeated confirmation.

first said that Mr. Guo Degang has repeatedly expressed his unwillingness to accept female apprentices. Xu Hedan and other Deyun actresses are only students in the Deyun social science class, but is not the apprentice who has officially joined Mr. Guo Degang's school. This is an essential difference, but many people ignore it.

followed by Xu Hedan and other actresses who did not write the genealogy published by Deyun News Agency in 2016.

Once again, Xu Hedan and Deyun Club actor Yuhe are really married. Deyun Club actor Zheng Hao once invited Yu Hezhen to talk about this issue in an audio program. Yu Hezhen made it very clear that Xu Hedan was a student of Mr. Guo Degang, but not his apprentice .

Of course, this article is not meant to be justified for such a superficial misunderstanding, although such superficial misunderstanding will continue.

I noticed the time when Xu Hedan returned to the stage, just when the new comedian actress Wang Xiaoqiu was expelled from the hustle and bustle of the incident. Of course, there can be no inevitable connection between the two. However, some topics caused by the Wang Xiaoqiu incident were over-consumed. For example, a certain media said: "Some netizens quoted Deyun as saying that because cross talk is too vulgar and has a lot of ethical burdens, so women are not suitable for talking about cross talk." This argument is heavily criticized. It makes me feel particularly inexplicable. Just because of the nonsense of netizens, can you criticize Deyun She by name for something that has nothing to do with Deyun? At this moment, the Deyun Club arranged for a female cross talk actor to return to the stage, and seemed to have hit back against the rumor unintentionally: it is one thing to accept female apprentices, but it is not suitable for women to talk about cross talk, it is not vulgar!

"Women are not suitable to say cross talk" is not an invention of Guo Degang.

Guo Degang did say about not supporting and discouraging women to say cross talk. Even on the stage of last year's "Cross Talk Has New People", Guo Degang once said this to Wang Xiaoqiu. But it must be clear: is just a principled attitude of Mr. Guo Degang, and it does not represent the voice of the entire cross talk world today.

Secondly, "women are not suitable for talking about cross talk" is not the attitude of Mr. Guo Degang alone. In the whole cross talk world for more than 100 years, well-known female cross talk actors have also been rare. This is the result of industry practice. People in the cross talk community of different eras have expressed similar voices. Among them, the cross talk predecessor Zhang Shouchen is the most famous.

In the spring of 1956, some actors in the cross talk scene in Tianjin invited Zhang Shouchen, a senior cross talk singer, to talk about the experience of cross talk performance. After the content of this forum was sorted out in shorthand, it became an important theoretical experience for crosstalk actors to learn and comprehend. Among them, the question about women talking about cross talk, the original transcript is as follows:

Su Wenmao: Are there any women who talk about cross talk among our elders?

Zhang Shouchen: No.

Su Wenmao: Can there be women in the future?

Zhang Shouchen: Women talk about cross talk, she doesn't have enough conditions, cross talk is not about women. All other departments can have women. For trains, cars, tractors, factory workers, school teachers, and government officials, there are women. Only women who talk about cross talk can never be said. why is this? Because she stood on the court, she was pretty, and she was stupid and bad for popularity.Damn it.

does not advocate women talking about cross talk, not because cross talk is vulgar, but out of respect for women.

From Zhang Shouchen to Guo Degang, in fact, they all explain a truth. Women do not advocate cross talk. They do not simply think that cross talk is vulgar, but out of consideration for female images. There is a professional term in

cross talk called "delivery on offer", which refers to actors performing stage performances through their own body movements and facial expressions. According to the setting of the plot of the work on the cross talk stage, the actors must have rich expressions to reflect the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and then assisted with different tones and attitudes and the actor himself jumped out of the commentary narration and so on. Such performances are performed by men, and they may be labeled as "humorous, clever, sharp-mouthed or even funny", and even "just want to laugh when I see him" is a very high artistic recognition for a male comedian.

However, if these labels are placed on a woman, the social acceptance will be greatly reduced. After all, we are a country that focuses on traditional ethics and culture, even feudal ethics. We can accept men joking with men, and we can also accept men joking with women, but we have a complicated mood to see women taking the initiative to make jokes. And if a woman stands on the stage, in pure language, you make jokes every word, and the purpose is to make others laugh, then all the clever debates and vibes will be greatly reduced.

From this point of view, the previous generations of cross talk in have held a resisting attitude towards women in the cross talk industry. It is not a discrimination against women, nor can it simply be understood that cross talk is vulgar and therefore not suitable for women. On the contrary, it is precisely for women. Respect, do not want women to sacrifice their image and popularity in order to talk about cross talk. "Women are not suitable to say that cross talk = cross talk is too vulgar". Whether it is a person who has this idea, or someone who has planted this kind of statement on the Deyun Society and either agrees or criticizes it, it is all out of their own views on the cross talk and the actors The disrespect is the result of simplifying complex issues.

Tradition is the only way to become a talent, but innovation is the only way for female comic actors.

However, the times are always developing. Even as far back as 1956, Zhang Shouchen, a leader in the industry, did not give a clear rejection of the question of "Can there be actresses in the future". Nowadays, Guo Degang's "disencouragement attitude" can't stop more and more women from entering the industry out of love for cross talk and even entering the Deyun Club.

Guo Degang always said when talking about female cross talk actors: "It's too difficult." I think that this is difficult, not only is it difficult to walk in, it is difficult to stand up, but it is even more difficult to go down and go far.

After more than a decade of revival and development of cross talk, the cross talk community as a whole has awakened from the erroneous thinking of "I would rather imperfect new than perfect old", and begin to agree that cross talk must respect and inherit tradition. For example, in Deyun Club, students must master more than 50 traditional cross talks before they are eligible to perform on stage and get paid. Yu Hezhen once said that during Xu Hedan's permanent performance in Deyun Club, he was very entangled with this: Obviously they are all on the stage with the same academic skills and master a lot of traditional cross talk, but seeing the male actors on stage The witty words are endless, and the audience roars with tsunami. As an actress, she must carefully select the works. There are only about a dozen paragraphs suitable for her performance on stage.

Because it is too difficult, although there is no shortage of young actresses who are engaged in cross talk performances, there are few well-known ones who can stand out. Jia Ling, the most well-known young female cross talk actor, also gradually faded out of the cross talk stage. But we must also see that more and more young women are now in love with cross talk, and even aspire to engage in cross talk performances. On the basis of inheriting the tradition, if you just equate women and men and imitate and reproduce their performance skills and forms, you will still fall into the misunderstanding that the predecessors have already summed up. Therefore, how to create more works that combine the times and life on the basis of drawing on traditional techniques, and to study and innovate techniques and forms suitable for female performances is the only way out for female crosstalk actors to stay on the crosstalk stage in the future. Now, whether it is There are more and more female performers on the comedy stage such as sketches and stage plays, talk shows, and cross talk may not give women more space. After all, cross talk is still young, and the old ones are just stale ideas and arrogant prejudices.
