Beijing Deyun Society, formerly known as Beijing Crosstalk Conference, is now a cultural performing arts company. Before the Cultural Group was under the control of the Cultural Bureau, it was later pushed to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and we became a company. Many art groups, such as Beijing Opera and Dance Theatre, are now also called Beijing Opera and Dance Theatre Culture Co., Ltd., and some of the actors are students and some are actors contracted by us internally. He wants to complete his work and performance arrangement within Deyun Society. Some performances are paid by the month, and some are calculated according to the remuneration of each performance. As for the event hosts and performances in other places, some are arranged by Deyun Society, and some are hosted by themselves outside, which basically has nothing to do with Deyun Society.
This year, we began to recruit students, run classes and training courses for students, and train and teach students in the old way. Don't think that getting old is getting old. Until today, isn't the skill of steaming steamed bread thousands of years ago? Being old does not mean being old, but a kind of maturity. There is no need to abandon a paved road and walk alone on a muddy road. Your shoes are full of mud and sand. You want to find another way, which is nothing more than a kind of destruction to yourself. Therefore, we usually teach our children not to be eager for quick success and instant benefit, to love what is what, and to really like it from the heart, instead of pointing to it to make a fortune. In this case, you may find other business faster.
Our study class is organized according to the method of the troupe, with one subject every two years. Our first subject is Yunzi, the second subject is (now entering the class in 2006), the third subject is Nine, and the fourth subject is Xiao. Together, it is "Yunhe Nine". This ranking is nothing more than convenient for people to know when you came and when you entered school. The current situation is quite gratifying. We think many children are lovely, some are teenagers and some are in their twenties, and they all work hard. It is estimated that more than a dozen of these forty people will be good on the stage, which will be great.
Deyun Society has its own creative class, which arranges materials, excavates and arranges some traditional programs for itself, including our plays. Xu Deliang, a scholar from Deyun Society, is in charge of this piece and works with a group of people to ensure that the creation can keep up. The creation of Deyun Society is different for everyone. Some people like to write word for word, while others, like me, are used to thinking about what I want to write first. I'll start thinking about what I want to write now. When I'm almost mature, I'll take a pen and paper. I'm used to writing an outline first, and I'll feel it when I'm done. I'll have a look for myself. When the next performance is to be performed, I will take the paper and go backstage to find Yu Qian. There are programs first, then there are Taiwanese books, and there are more improvisations.
In the creation of traditional cross talk, first of all, from the perspective of performance, it is difficult for this person to write good things simply by creation. There are really few people in the country who can write cross talk well but can't speak it, and what great writers write must be revised by actors, otherwise they won't be on stage. Like a person who can't cook. If he stays at home and makes up that recipe, it may be useless. This is a fact. We don't deny other people's cultural and artistic attainments, but these are two different things after all. There are problems with professional characteristics and problems with artistic characteristics. Mr. Lian Chunming, who wrote "Song Wu Da Hu" for Mr. Li Jindou, wrote well. Among the young people is Fang Qingping, the adopted son of Mr Lian Chunming. I can also speak cross talk. He is Mr Li Jindou's apprentice. I feel that these two crosstalk writers, one old and one young, are still good and can be called professional writers. Because Fang Qingping used to be an actor, his works can be used here, which is quite in place.
Now you basically don't have to be responsible for your own profits and losses, but it's ok. Some actors are program hosts of CCTV and Beijing TV, and some are small roles, and their lives are still good. Actors have their own lifestyle. So far, we still have a long way to go, and we still have a lot of work to do on our shoulders. We don't want to be big, we don't want to be greedy, we just want to be able to do our own thing in a down-to-earth manner. That's good.
Deyun Society We have four old gentlemen, Li Wenshan, Xing.
Mr. Zhang Wenshun is one of the elders and founders of Beijing Deyun Society. When there were only three people in Deyun Society, there was Teacher Zhang, and we worked together. Teacher Zhang also said that stand-up cross talk, cross talk, and performing with me have made great contributions. His teacher is Tong Dafang, a senior. He is not only a crosstalk performer, but also a drummer. He is also the only descendant of China's funny drum. The old man works hard and is very clever. He gave advice on the development of Deyun Society and put forward many good ideas. So today, Beijing Deyun Society has reached half of the country.
Mr Wang Wenlin is an old actor. His father is Wang Changyou, a cross talk veteran, and his teacher is Mr. Liu Baorui, a folk art family. He knows a lot of jokes.
Mr. Li Wenshan is a disciple of Mr. Wang Shichen, the predecessor of crosstalk. Mr. Wang Shichen was an old-timer who was very popular in those days, and he became popular earlier than Mr. Hou Linbao. Mr. Ma Ji said that Wang Shichen is the comic giant in my heart.
Mr. Xing Zhaowen is also a disciple of Mr. Liu Baorui, so he is good at monologues. For such a long time, I tried to join Deyun Society.
Besides them, Deyun Society has three generations. I am from the same generation as Yu Qian and Jing Li. Jing Li is the backbone of Deyun Society. On the one hand, he pays tribute to my disciple He, who has his own unique artistic charm on the stage. Many audiences like him very much. He is very popular. His allegro is also quite good, and he was dubbed as the little leader of the Beggars' Sect in Beijing. During my absence, Jing Li was responsible for dealing with interpersonal relationships, training students, keeping some order in the background, programming and taking care of me.
Zhang Dewu and Xu Deliang are Mr. Zhang Wenshun's disciples and my contemporaries. Zhang Dewu was the first painter, and the painter went to the sea to talk about cross talk. Xu Deliang is the city with the highest educational level in China. Graduated from Chinese Department of Peking University, talking about crosstalk. He is also from primary school. His works are very bookish. We call him the representative of Xinwen, which is a good wish.
Shi Aidong, Jing Li's brother, Allegro singer, my generation.
Cao Yunjin is one of my apprentices worth talking about, because he has lived with me for three years, and he is called to practice every morning. So our relationship is very good. I call him "Gold".
Dongdongqiang, a native of Jinghai, Tianjin, was born in an unbearable era. He used to be a member of Deyun Society, one of the screenwriters of the next TV series, [Crosstalk Performing Arts], and the ups and downs of crosstalk artists in the Republic of China.
Perhaps the most influential young man is He, who always listened to me before and became a formal apprentice in 2002. Up to now, it is very influential in Beijing, and performing cross talk has its own unique style. Others are also growing.
Wang Hai is also from Tianjin. Now he is my agent. He was our audience at first. He is very generous. In the early days of Deyun Society, he often brought people to praise us. Spend money and treat people. For example, if there are fewer people today, he will try to bring people to listen. Listen, listen, we got closer and closer, and finally became good friends who talked about everything. After 2005, all of a sudden, there were so many things that we were too busy. He began to help us deal with these things. Finally, let's simply say that you are here as an agent. Today's cooperation is quite late, and everything else is quite interesting.
After so many years of work, 2006 10 will be our tenth anniversary, so we plan to hold a large-scale celebration, summarize and hold a seminar this year. It is very important to sum up the current situation of cross talk and what to do next. The most important thing this time is how we meet ourselves. Moreover, we are going to give the audience a reward and put on six performances in a good theater in Beijing, and strive to show all the highlights of our six performances in the past ten years. It is a summary.
