There were many noble people in Guo Degang’s rise to fame, but there was one named Yang Hong. Guo Degang has kept the 8 yuan IOU he wrote to himself until now.
Many people have never heard of Yang Hong's name. When Guo Degang was still a nobody, Yang Hong was Guo Degang's good friend, but the two had never been on the same stage. Every time he was mentioned, Guo Degang looked nostalgic. .
When Guo Degang first came to Beijing, the General Art Troupe happened to be recruiting people. Guo Degang was recommended by someone and joined the rap troupe.
But in fact, he was just a handyman from the beginning. After others performed, Guo Degang went on stage to move the tables and clean up. He had no chance to perform at all, which made Guo Degang very depressed.
But at this time, he met a friend named Yang Hong, who was also a handyman. Yang Hong often helped Guo Degang and even taught Guo Degang his unique skill of "ventriloquism".
The two played so well that their work unit did not give them a chance to perform, so they made an appointment to perform on the street together, making passers-by laugh.
As soon as his salary was paid, Yang Hong asked Guo Degang to buy a drink. He had no money and had to drink even if he borrowed money from friends. The 8 yuan IOU was left at this time.
Guo Degang didn't mind at all that this good friend borrowed money from him, and even took him back to his hometown of Tianjin to play. When he left, he took out his remaining savings and personally sent him on the train.
Unexpectedly, after this separation, the two people's life trajectories would never intersect again. Guo Degang saw this good friend again on TV.
My friend is no longer named Yang Hong, but appears under his real name "Losang Nyima".
In 1993, Luo Sang became famous overnight by imitating Zhao Benshan on CCTV. At this time, Guo Degang was just a teacher in a sketch performance training class and could only see Luo Sang on TV.
In 1968, Luosang, a young man from Kangding, was born. His father is Tibetan and his mother is Han. Therefore, Luosang has two names, one is "Losang Nyima" and the other is "Yang Hong".
Due to being of half ethnic minority origin and growing up in a Tibetan area on the plateau, Luosang has been a pistachio since he was a child. Not only does he have a small mouth that makes people laugh, he is also good at singing and dancing, and his body language is very rich.
Lausanne especially likes to imitate sounds. From the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects to the voices of people on the radio, Lausanne can imitate them perfectly.
It can be said that Lausanne was born to eat art. Lausanne thought so too, so he never liked studying since he was a child and wanted to pursue the art path.
Luosang’s parents are also very open-minded. Unlike other parents who only focus on achievements, Luosang’s parents are very supportive of him doing what he likes.
With the expectations and support of his parents, Luosang was admitted to the music and dance department of the Central University for Nationalities at the age of only 13. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a talented artist.
After entering college, Lausanne’s talent often amazed the teachers. Whether it was dancing or vocal music, Lausanne had no shortcomings. Even in the years to come, teachers would blurt out the name “Losanne” when they mentioned genius.
After graduation, Luo Sang successfully entered the Art Troupe of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions. He was a dancer at first, but later on, Luo Sang gained weight out of control and could no longer engage in dancing.
But because of his eloquence, Luo Sang was not fired, but was transferred to a rap group.
It was also here that two future cross talk stars: Luo Sang and Guo Degang, met.
However, in fact, neither of these two people was the noble of the other. At that time, Luo Sang and Guo Degang were just two ambitious boys.
The real noble man in Lausanne is his mentor: Yin Bolin.
Yin Bolin, who was born in an artistic family, has a keen sense of art. He was also working in the art troupe at the time and discovered at a glance that Luo Sang’s real talent was not in dancing or singing, but in his innate sense of laughter. Just right for the rising cross talk stage.
Crosstalk also opened a new door for the frustrated Lausanne. The two hit it off immediately. Yin Bolin’s experience and Lausanne’s talent created a spark. Lausanne’s crosstalk era was here.
In the 1990s, the Internet was not yet developed, and most of people’s entertainment life came from TV programs. Crosstalk, as one of people’s most popular forms, also made many crosstalk actors popular.
However, cross talk actually pays great attention to the inheritance of teachers. For example, Yin Bolin’s younger brother Yin Zhuolin is a close disciple of cross talk master Ma Ji. Jiang Kun and Feng Gong are both his senior brothers, and Ma Ji’s master is a leading figure in the cross talk world. Pauline.
However, Yin Bolin himself did not have a teacher. It was purely because he discovered Luo Sang's talent that he came up with the idea of ??talking about cross talk together. Luo Sang, as a dancer, is a layman in the cross talk world.
Crosstalk pays attention to learning and singing. Experience is important, but talent is not available to everyone. If Lausanne could only be regarded as a rough jade at the beginning, then after becoming a disciple of Yin Bolin, he soon became It was carved into a piece of jade.
These two people became famous purely because of their "wild ways".
Luosang is best at imitation, and Yin Bolin designs to maximize it in his performance. Luosang has talent, and Yin Bolin integrates his talent into jokes.
In 1993, the cross talk series "Lausanne Academy" tailor-made by the master and apprentice was featured in "Quyuan Zatan".
At that time, "Quyuan Zatan" was a flagship program produced by CCTV, and every household was watching it.
Lausanne imitated the already famous Zhao Benshan in the show. It can be said that he looked like the real person. Not only his voice and movements, but also his expressions were restored. "Lausanne Academy" became an instant success.
Imitation, performance and fun, just looking at Luo Sang can make people laugh. In addition, the master Yin Bolin's "praising" is accurate. Who has never heard the famous line "I won't learn from you" "You're too low-level!"
Learn music after studying xiangsheng, learn dance after studying music... "Lausanne Learning" was created into a series. If there was a hot word of the year in 1994, "Study in Lausanne" definitely counts as one.
The honest and funny Kangding guys, their amazing imitation shows, and their hilarious jokes made Luosang and Yin Bolin known as the most popular comedians in 1994.
No one expected that two crosstalk actors who became monks halfway could bring such high popularity to the crosstalk world.
However, crosstalk is a down-to-earth art form. Whatever the audience likes to watch, that is success.
Lausanne has undoubtedly achieved great success as a crosstalk actor, and he was only 25 years old at the time. It is conceivable that if he continues to develop rapidly, he will create many more interesting works.
However, just when people had great expectations for this talented comedian, his life was abruptly ended at the age of 27.
Lausanne became famous overnight, and invitations to perform came one after another. He was able to survive, and his income doubled. He was no longer the "Yang Hong" who had to borrow 8 yuan for drinks.
After many years of art finally bearing fruit, the first thing Lausanne did was to bring his parents with him so that he could enjoy life in Beijing.
After living in a big house and buying a new car, Lausanne’s life was prosperous. On October 2, 1995, Lausanne invited his mentor Yin Bolin to his home for a dinner.
After the meal, the family started singing KTV together. Yin Bolin even picked up a valuable camera to record the happy scene of the family.
If this dinner party is over and Luosang goes home with his parents, he will definitely be filled with happiness when he takes out this video and watches it many years later.
But the fact is that this was the last image of Lausanne before his death.
In Lausanne that night, there was not only a dinner party with my parents and mentor, but also a gathering of friends. Luosang gave his mother 3,000 yuan and hurriedly drove his new car to the second session.
A foreign friend came to a friend’s party. During the introduction, he said that he didn’t know Lausanne at all. This made Lausanne, who had been famous for 2 years, very embarrassed.
Luo Sang was no longer in the mood to play. Instead, he went to a corner to drink alone. Unconsciously, he drank too much. Without telling anyone, he drove away early.
Lausanne, who was driving drunk, hit a large truck that was parked for maintenance on the highway. Due to the speed, Lausanne's car was completely deformed by the impact, and the person was too seriously injured to be rescued. return.
As the saying goes, "Irregular driving makes relatives shed tears." Luosang's parents, who had just arrived in Beijing, did not believe this fact at all.
In fact, not only Luosang’s parents, but also people were shocked that this 27-year-old genius left in this way. Even because he imitated Zhao Benshan too vividly, there were rumors that Zhao Benshan was jealous of Luosang. Just "attack" him. Of course, the rumors were clarified by Yin Bolin 20 years later, and Luosang did die in a traffic accident caused by drunk driving.
That night, Luosang’s parents took their son’s new mobile phone and kept calling, but no one answered.
Beijing made Lausanne a success, but it became an untouchable and sad place in the hearts of Lausanne's parents. They decided to take their son's ashes home, returned to Kangding, and buried their son on a high mountain.
The mountain is more than 2,000 meters high, and it takes more than two hours to climb it. However, Luosang’s parents still insisted on visiting their son often. Later, when they got older and could no longer climb, they had to walk at the foot of the mountain for a few times. Go around and talk to him a few words from your heart.
As time passed, the elderly parents wanted to move to Chengdu with Luosang’s brother, but they were reluctant to let their youngest son live so far away from them, so they decided to move Luosang’s cemetery to Qingcheng Mountain so that the family could enjoy this kind of life. way to reunite.
Also having deep feelings for Luosang was his teacher Yin Bolin. After Luosang passed away, Yin Bolin, who was extremely sad, had no more apprentices for 10 years.
Ten years later, he accepted another disciple, but said sadly: "There is only one genius, and it cannot be copied. Lausanne is like an insurmountable peak, and it is difficult for others to reach his height." ”
After losing a golden partner like Lausanne, the apprentices he accepted later looked like makeshifts, and Yin Bolin no longer had any popular works published.
Yin Bolin recalled that whenever he stood on the stage, he would think of Luosang practicing playing the trumpet with his mouth in his small kitchen. During dance practice, "a pair of little feet were as fat as buns"...
As a crosstalk actor, I always have such sorrow in my heart. How can I bring happiness to everyone?
No wonder 10 years after Luosang’s death, Yin Bolin went to Qingcheng Mountain to visit Luosang and burst into tears even as he touched the tombstone.
Later, Guo Degang, Lausanne's friend in the art troupe, gradually gained a foothold, but regretted that he would never have the opportunity to share the stage with Lausanne, so he could only treasure the IOU he left for himself as a source of comfort.
Luo Sang’s death is a great loss to the entire cross talk world, and those who once brought joy to Luo Sang can only feel sad when they mention him.
The comedian's final ending was such a tragedy.
Lausanne is to the cross talk world just like the ten words Ma Ji gave Lausanne: "The ancients will never be seen before, and the newcomers will never be seen after."
Losing it is an eternal regret , people can only get a glimpse of this talented comedian from his past works.
Do you still remember this short-lived genius Lausanne in the history of cross talk? Who is your favorite cross talk actor? #GuoDegang# #赵Benshan#
