Guo Degang is very popular now. In terms of stand-up comedy, has Guo Degang surpassed Liu Baorui?
In crosstalk, everyone knows about Guo Degang; but when it comes to Liu Baorui, many Deyun girls may not know it either. Some people commented on Guo Degang's cross talk: "Little mushrooms are nothing more than that." Liu Baorui is known as the king of stand-up. He is one of the seven cross talk masters selected by CCTV.
In the field of stand-up comedy, someone who can be compared with Liu Baorui is Mr. Arima Sanli. He has a cold-faced and funny aura. I have listened to "Tease You" many times. The rhythm and fun in it are very enjoyable.
In terms of artistry alone, Mr. Liu Baorui is better
Guo Degang mainly learned his stand-up by following a tape recorder or video tape. He has never received any formal training or teaching in stand-up. In the past, cross talk sects had rules that those who had not been apprenticed would not be taught the core content.
The teachers that Guo Degang did not have include Gao Qingkui and Yang Zhigang (not actors). I don’t know how many they taught, but they will definitely not be the core. His one-liners are more of his own thinking.
Liu Baorui's large sections of Guankou were learned in a serious way. The teacher teaches carefully, his stand-up is slow in rhythm, and he is not in a hurry to throw away the baggage, but when he throws it out, everyone will not only enjoy it, but also remember it. You can listen to his stand-up, "Pearl, Jade and White Jade Soup", it's very enjoyable.
When Guo Degang was speaking in stand-up, due to his mixed skills, he used Xingmu to lower his voice when speaking. Perhaps in order to get closer to the public, he used some small fragments, um, ah and other phonetic words, so that The audience is more comfortable.
Coupled with his own ability to place orders, the atmosphere at the scene was very prosperous. But as for the rhythm of speaking or the control of breath, the audience may not feel it, but professionals may feel it.
In "Pearl, Jade and White Jade Soup", Liu Baorui's description of the characters and his inner description allow the audience to follow the scene and experience the character's bitterness and life.
When Guo Degang described it, he added some of his own understanding. The use of tone was mainly about using a good voice, rather than promoting the plot. The audience was active in the charm of voice, not the story.
Also, Liu Baorui’s use of breath is very good, but it may not be truly reflected during recording. Guo Degang followed him, but he didn't grasp the fundamentals and only learned some superficial skills (it is also very impressive to be able to learn from Teacher Guo).
Not only that, Liu Baorui has many of his own original works, even if they are based on other materials, he also adds his own content to express them better. Guo Degang has more content than Liu Baorui, but most of it comes from other materials and less of his own original content.
But in terms of influence, Guo Degang is better?
Liu Baorui is very capable in stand-up comedy, and he is not called the stand-up king for nothing. His stand-up can even be compared with teacher Ma Sanli, although Mr. Ma’s artistic achievements and influence are greater.
His stand-up is also very influential in bringing listeners to teahouses and other more casual places. He also brought cross talk to Hong Kong, which can be regarded as promoting the cause of cross talk and practicing it.
In terms of influence alone, he suffers from the underdeveloped media. At that time, there was no Internet, and there were not so many media. He was also in a period when all heroes were coexisting, including Mr. Ma and Mr. Hou Baolin. Although he is very famous, if the number of viewers is certain, he will be diverted.
Liu Baorui also had another drawback, which was that he died young. Mr. Hou Baolin lived to be 76 years old, and Mr. Ma lived an even longer life. And Liu Baorui is only 53 years old. In such a short time, the influence and influence will definitely be much smaller.
Guo Degang was able to take advantage of the development of cross talk to expand his influence. His partnership with Yu Qian quickly expanded his reputation. Coupled with the apprenticeship of Hou Yaowen, his development has benefited a lot.
Guo Degang also speaks stand-up, but only occasionally. He is more accomplished in the art of cross talk. His influence is stronger than many first-line stars. He can become a star-making machine. Behind the scenes, many Deyun Club actors have excelled.
Yue Yunpeng, Qin Xiaoxian, Meng Hetang and others are all very good crosstalk actors, but as far as stand-up is concerned, Yan Hexiang is still good.
That one by Yan Hexiang should not be called stand-up, but should be called storytelling.
Guo Degang’s popularity among the audience is mainly due to the development of the Internet. In addition, the increase in audience income also means that he can appreciate both elegance and vulgarity, not just elegance. Although he has experienced ups and downs, he knows his abilities and has a wide audience.
With his efforts, his Deyun Society has flourished and become a leader in the cross talk world. There is still a big gap between other cross talk groups and Deyun Society. Of course, these also stem from Guo Degang's efforts.
Everyone knows that he entered Beijing City three times. This is a piece of Feng Shui treasure land that he worked hard to build, and he can gain a foothold in Beijing City and carry it forward. A person's influence is built up bit by bit.
Written at the end:
Mr. Liu Baorui’s stand-up comedy is truly outstanding. He has many works, which are also very artistically appealing. Guo Degang's cross talk is more of a ready-to-eat show. Many Deyun girls eat this and feel that they interact with the characters and have a strong sense of participation.
Mr. Liu Baorui's artistic achievements were higher than Guo Degang's, but he was in a bad era and died young. His influence is just a little less. However, his status as a stand-up king cannot be denied.
Guo Degang is now considered a representative figure in the cross talk world. Although he is different from Mr. Jiang Kun, Guo Degang played an indispensable role in the development of cross talk. Of course, Mr. Liu Baorui’s contribution is also very great. Do you think Mr. Liu Baorui is more powerful or Guo Degang is more influential?
