What are some weird things that you didn’t expect in the cross talk circle?
Three famous cross talk actors suffered a lot in the Northeast, and one of them even lost his life. The heartthrob Li Dexi died in Shenyang
Li Dexi's real name was Li Peiting. His original nickname should have been "Little Heartthrob" because there was a heartthrob before him named Li Guangyi. Li Guangyi is Li Dechen's grandfather and the person who taught Li Dechen his skills.
Li Dechen inherited his grandfather's abilities and also inherited his nickname. After his grandfather passed away, Li Dechen gradually dropped the word "little" and became a second-generation heartthrob.
The nickname "heartthrob" has been overused now. Before Guo Degang became popular, some fans also called him "little heartthrob". Guo Degang's disciple Wang Yaozong (Wang Heyu) also called himself Xiaowan. Fascinating. However, compared with Li Dechen's abilities, it would be more appropriate to call them Ten Thousand People. They are not even close to each other.
Back to Li Dechen, when the heartthrob was at his most popular, he did a cross talk to Yuan Shikai, but he didn’t choose a good joke and said a piece of "Eating Yuanxiao". As a result, Yuan Shikai felt that Li Dexi was using homophones to curse. He, therefore, ordered people to beat Li Dechen violently and then drove him away.
Later, Li Decheng persuaded Zhang Zongchang, and Zhang Zongchang was so impressed that he rewarded Li Decheng with all the oceans he could see around him. According to later artist memories, Li Decheng's income from that scene was at least equal to several million today. Yuan, even in the current commercial performance market, that is a very high price.
Li Dechen cooperated with Zhang Shouchen in 1923, which was regarded as promoting the future gate chief. In 1926, he left Tianjin and went to Fengtian to make money. There are different reasons for this. Some said that Li Dechen took the initiative to give up the talent in order not to block Shou Lao's popularity, while others said that he was addicted to smoking, and the two had to part ways.
Personally, I think the latter statement is more reliable. In those days, there was no funny person who was particularly popular and deliberately hid in other places to praise the younger generation. What's more, when Zhang Shoulao later held a symposium on crosstalk actors in Tianjin, he specifically criticized some funny actors for raising several praising actors, and doing all the burdens on the stage themselves, without giving the piancing actors any chance to show off. This is wrong. .
So it is more likely that Li Dechen was forced to leave Tianjin, and it was due to his poor health due to his addiction to cigarettes, and the loss of the audience due to his reduced stage performance. This was the case for artists at that time. No one is paying the bill, unlike now where you can still make money after selling badly.
Li Dechen later went all the way north and settled in the northeast, where he stayed in Shenyang for a while. It is said here that he was very popular at the time and made a lot of money at one time. As a result, he fell ill due to a sudden illness, and later died in a ditch on the roadside due to hunger, cold and illness caused by smoking cessation.
But it is also said that Li Dechen was seriously ill since he went to Shenyang. Later, he ran out of money for food and died of poverty.
No matter what the situation is, Li Dechen still has the character of an old-school artist. According to the memory of the teahouse owner who performed with the heartthrob, although Li Dechen was seriously ill, he refused to accept relief from others and was afraid of giving. The people at the tea house were causing trouble with their colleagues, so they ran out wrapped in a single coat and died outside.
In the end, a big fan of Li Dechen made a simple coffin for him and buried it in the wild. Several fans who loved him also wrote a limerick as a gift to him, reciting it with praise, in the desolation. It also brings a touch of humor.
It is a pity that Li Dechen has no descendants, and his skills are also buried with him. After Li Dechen, there will be no more popular people. Ma Sanli is "teasing you" by people from the Northeast
Ma Sanli is a veteran in the cross talk industry. Not only does he have the highest academic qualifications, but he is also senior. Before him, his parents all talked about cross talk. For the cross talk industry Those dirty tricks are clear.
But even for such a shrewd old hunter like Mr. Ma, there are times when an eagle takes his eye out. At that time, Japan fully invaded China, Peiping and Tianjin fell, the Japanese imposed daily curfews and martial arts, and a large number of artists were displaced. Those who had the foundation stayed at home to make money, and those who didn't had the money to find work elsewhere. At that time, Fengtian's "Xiangyunge" teahouse came to Tianjin to invite crosstalk actors to perform acupoints. The conditions were also very high. The teahouse was in charge of transportation and food. In addition to management, all income is divided into 30% and 70%, with the artist receiving 70% and the tea house receiving 30%.
It stands to reason that this condition was no longer a choice at that time, but when the crosstalk artists in Beijing and Tianjin thought about Fengtian, where the heartthrob Li Dezhen died tragically, most of them did not dare to go out to perform commercial performances rashly.
Ma Sanye's family was very tight at that time, and he didn't have any other work for a while, so he gritted his teeth and headed to the Northeast. Anyway, there were all lively Lei Feng there, and it was not my fault, Ma Sanli.
Before Ma Sanli left, he took two yuan in cash and four sugar cakes baked by his wife. He carried the fishing rod~~ No, he carried it as a salute and went to the northeast. Encountered by puppet soldiers on the way to interrogate him, Ma Sanye ate a few big mouthfuls, and finally he was let go after shaking off his baggage.
After arriving at the teahouse, Ma Sanli was full of energy and told his partner Geng Baolin that the teahouse was booming and it was hard to get a ticket. The boss was also very happy. He hoped that Ma Sanli would continue to work hard and he would definitely do it in the future. Became the top streamer in the cross talk industry, and opened an EP with tens of thousands of people to perform, which was a huge success.
Although the tea house owner and the ticket holder were very enthusiastic about Ma Sanli, they never mentioned the matter of dividing the accounts. Later, Ma Sanye couldn't help but ask the boss, did the boss say how to divide the money? Are you crazy? You still owe me a lot of money.
Ma Sanli had a black question mark on his face, indicating that you were kidding me.
The owner of the tea house said that your travel expenses from Tianjin to Shenyang have not been paid in full yet, and you will have to continue performing until you have paid your return travel expenses, and then you can talk to me about dividing the bill.
Ma Sanli said you can wait a moment. Didn’t we agree on your pipe fees?
The owner of the tea house smiled evilly, we are talking about pick-up and drop-off management and buying tickets, but you have to pay for the tickets yourself~
Ma Sanli’s heart dropped when he heard this, Boss You're a master of tricks, this bag is shaking so loudly. If this were on stage, I would just say "fuck you" and call it a day. It’s a pity that this is not a cross talk. I have fallen into a den of thieves. Resist me. I am not strong enough to carry a pot of soup. Find someone. This place is hundreds of miles away from Tianjin. 5G was not yet available at the time. There was really no way to get to heaven. There is no way to enter the ground.
In the end, Mr. Ma had no choice but to grit his teeth and stamp his feet to endure it. He was forced to work for nothing for another three months before returning to Tianjin from Fengtian.
I didn’t expect that Taishan Beidou would be “teased” by someone. Guo Degang was besieged by people from the Northeast
This was Guo Degang's early experience. He said it several times in crosstalk, but the specific story was not reported by the media, so just listen to it and enjoy it.
On a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, Boss Guo took the actors of Deyun Club to Harbin for a commercial performance. Nothing happened during the performance, and the Harbin audience was also very enthusiastic. As a result, something went wrong at the celebration banquet. The organizer originally invited a local comedian to be a guest, but he refused. But at the celebration banquet, the crosstalk actor met Guo Degang in a private capacity. The organizer felt that his face was so painful that he overturned the table.
Guo Degang is also a person who does not suffer any losses. He took the person away on the spot. However, when he went to the airport the next day, he found that the person had also refunded the ticket.
The second time was when a performance company in Mudanjiang invited Guo Degang. Once again, Guo Degang happily led his team to kill him, but the other party gathered a group of social figures with tattoos of Pi Pi Xi and Xiong Da Xiong Er to block him. Guo Degang and his team asked them to perform quietly and hard, and then they didn't take away a penny of reward. To put it bluntly, they were freeloaders.
After that, Guo Degang did not go to the Northeast for commercial performances for about ten years. Later, he opened a branch of Deyunshe in the Northeast, which was also managed by the local cross talk family Yu Zengsheng and Yu Fusheng brothers. The Yu brothers followed It doesn't matter Yu Qian, they are the sons of Zhang Shouchen's disciple Yu Shide, from a crosstalk family in Northeast China. These two brothers are local~~ I won't go into details, but they are enough to cover the Deyun Society.
