According to reports, on the evening of March 24, Guo Degang launched his first live broadcast on Douyin. The number of online viewers instantly exceeded 100,000, and many people bought gifts. It is worth noting that Cao Yunjin also went online and entered the live broadcast room to give Guo Degang crazy gifts, directly rushing to sixth place on the gift list.
In the subsequent live broadcast, Cao Yunjin responded that Teacher Guo still needs to support him when he starts broadcasting. Third-party data platforms show that Guo Degang’s first broadcast was watched by more than 27 million people, with a peak online audience of 800,000 and more than 1.3 million new fans.
Looking back at the historical grudges between Cao Yunjin and Guo Degang, it can be said to be a tortuous master-disciple relationship. As one of Guo Degang's favorite disciples, Cao Yunjin has extraordinary talent in cross talk performance. However, with the rise in Cao Yunjin's popularity and the growth of Deyun Society, he began to feel that the success of Deyun Society was inseparable from his contribution. Deyun Club's rule for apprentices is "three years of study and two years of service", which means that part of Cao Yunjin's performance income must be turned over to Deyun Club. Cao Yunjin believed that his reputation was high enough. During his time at Deyun Society, he paid tuition and worked for Guo Degang for free. It was only a matter of time before he started his own business. As a result, the master and apprentice gradually developed a rift, and finally in 2010, Cao Yunjin announced the launch of Deyun Club.
