There is also an episode, that is, Degang Guo's first real teacher was Yang Zhigang, director of Tianjin Cultural Center. But then Degang Guo came to Beijing, and he said that he was Yang Zhigang's land. Yang Zhigang denied you and said that he was not your master. In fact, according to the crosstalk ceremony, Yang Zhigang was not Degang Guo's master, because he didn't publicly "show his knowledge", so he only taught some skills. Therefore, Hou made a special phone call before accepting the apprentice, and only after he got a positive answer that he was not his apprentice did he feel at ease accepting the apprentice.
Degang Guo was ecstatic when he learned that he would accept himself as a disciple. He has suffered too much over the years. He went to Beijing three times to enter the mainstream audio industry, but no unit wanted him, and no crosstalk in the mainstream audio industry was willing to accept him as an apprentice. So that he had to fend for himself, and together with Zhang Wenshun and Jing Li, he founded the "Beijing Crosstalk Conference" to make a living. However, due to the poor management of the Beijing Crosstalk Conference, he couldn't even pay the rent for a while, and his wife Hu Zhonghui divorced him. Later, he married Wang Hui, a famous drummer of Tianjin Jingyun. In order to support the Beijing Crosstalk Conference renamed Deyun Society, Wang Hui sold his car and jewelry to avoid the collapse of Deyun Society.
Although Deyun Society has not closed down, it can only be said that it is "surviving". I didn't make any money and was squeezed out by my peers. But Degang Guo didn't give up. He has always wanted to make a difference in cross talk. When Hou, a cross talk master and vice chairman of the Chinese Quyi Artists Association, proposed to accept him as an apprentice, it was nothing more than great recognition and encouragement for him.
As expected, when the news spread that he was going to be an apprentice, there was a voice of opposition in the cross talk circle. Even Hou's apprentice advised Hou to be careful, but Hou Tairen was kind. He said to the opponents, "He knows much more about traditional cross talk than we do. Our cross talk team should be expanded, United and give children a bowl of rice. "
On June 6, 2004, he officially became Hou's apprentice. With Hou's protection, fewer people dare to provoke. Hou is also very concerned about this apprentice. He introduced the performance to him, and let the Beijing TV station, which has a good relationship with him, promote Degang Guo. When Deyun Society encountered difficulties, he also took out 50,000 cash to help Degang Guo tide over the difficulties. At that time, I was unwilling to take Hou's hard-earned money. Hou said to him, "Deyun Society is not your own. It is a platform for cross talk artists and audiences to face each other, and it belongs to all cross talk people. We can't let cross talk find us. "
For the performance on the stage, Hou is more strict. On one occasion, Degang Guo's father was ill in hospital, and Degang Guo was out of shape during the performance because he was worried about his father. After stepping down, Hou criticized him: "As an actor, no matter how many setbacks and difficulties there are under the stage, as long as he steps onto the stage, he can only put the audience in his heart. This is the minimum artistic virtue. You remember it for me! " Hou was worried that he didn't understand, and added: "Gangzi, think about it, the audience is the most affectionate." You give them laughter, and they will take you through life. Gangzi can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. " Didn't let Hou down. In 2005, Degang Guo was famous all over the country for his real skills. ?
In the eyes of many people, the crosstalk master Hou took a fancy to his talent and firm confidence and persistence in the crosstalk cause. Accept a drop of water when necessary, and I will repay your kindness with spring water. Degang Guo is a man of temperament. He can't live ungrateful. When I saw him later, he was an ungrateful man, and he was willing to give everything to help him become famous. Now, Degang Guo has done everything it can to help Yun-peng Yue, which can be said to be passed down from generation to generation. Crosstalk is promising.
