As we all know, Deyun Club actors all wore long coats when performing crosstalk. In the early days, there was no such thing as hierarchy, and they were mainly distinguished by color. After becoming popular, especially in recent years, there are indeed "three, six, and nine" distinctions in terms of large-scale performances - although I have not seen any explicit regulations from Deyun Society. Guo Degang and Yu Qian now often appear in dark-toned coats embroidered with dragon patterns or auspicious clouds, as do Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue.

But there are still differences if you look carefully. Guo Degang and Yu Qian’s embroidered coat has patterns embroidered on the entire piece from the shoulders to the chest, mainly dragon patterns, with various tones. It's deep and dark. As for Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue's coat, there are small pieces of auspicious clouds embroidered on both sides of the shoulders, and a circular image of auspicious clouds is also embroidered in the middle of the chest, but they are not connected together. The color is dark but not dark - after all, he is relatively young. In addition to the differences in pattern style and area, the material quality must also be different, which cannot be identified by the naked eye.

For now, only these four people from Deyun Society are qualified to wear embroidered coats. Others have not seen it yet. Even Guo Degang’s own son Guo Qilin cannot wear it. The description level is very strict. In other words, only actors who have great box office appeal and are already "smart" are eligible to wear it. There must be internal regulations in Deyun Club in this regard - after all, Guo Degang is a very traditional person. According to Zhang Yunlei's current popularity, it is estimated that he will soon be "embroidered" on his body.

Don’t look at the embroidery on these coats. They are not machine-processed. They are all hand-embroidered by Mr. Chang Shuling, the famous "Chang Ji" in the cross talk world. They are exquisite works of stitch and thread. Chang Shuling is from Tianjin. He started cutting Chinese-style coats at the age of 14. The coats he makes are "well-known trademarks" in the cross talk industry, and Deyun Club should be his "big customer."

In addition, other crosstalk actors can only wear solid color coats. Even so, there are subtle differences. For already relatively famous actors and their partners, such as Gao Feng, Zhang Yunlei, Guo Qilin, Zhang Helun, Meng Hetang, etc., the coats are darker in color and mainly made of satin. Others are brightly colored and have everything.

Artists are very particular about what they wear when performing or attending events. This is true in the entertainment industry and also in the cross talk industry. Famous crosstalk actors wear dark-colored coats that make them look stable, without distracting the audience's attention with bright colors. It doesn't matter to young new actors. Personalized bright colors can highlight the difference, enhance the atmosphere, and can also be used for "tricks" in performances.

In today's cross talk world, mainstream and non-mainstream can be roughly distinguished from the attire of actors on stage. Deyun Club and other folk cross talk drama clubs basically wear long coats. , while most of the actors in the system wear suits (or Chinese tunic suits). Before Miao Fu entered the mainstream, he always wore a coat. Since he became a clerk of the Crosstalk Art Committee of the Music Association, he immediately changed into a suit, showing a clear-cut attitude.

In the early days, the older generation of crosstalk artists (such as Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli, etc.) also wore long coats to perform on stage. It was not until Ma Ji's generation, after experiencing the "Destroying the Four Olds" during the Cultural Revolution, that they gradually changed to Suits have been passed down to Jiang Kun’s generation. Of course, there are also some crosstalk artists within the system who perform in coats, but there are fewer of them.

There is a "ridiculous" saying on the Internet to describe the difference between the coats worn by folk cross talk artists in the early years: "The first-class coat is made of urine, the second-class coat is shiny satin, and the third-class coat is rolled up." The sleeves and legs of a fourth-class coat are not enough. "Er" has more Chinese pronunciation, and northerners can better understand it. It probably means the difference in fabric and price.

Many friends are interested in the level of coats in Deyun Society, so I will talk about it in detail here. For a group that accounts for more than half of China's crosstalk performance market, knowing the ropes will help you not to be a layman when enjoying the show, but to feel like an "expert"! First, Deyun Society currently does not have clear and rigid regulations on the level of coats.

There is a lot of discussion about the relationship between Deyunshe’s coat and status. The general saying is that only four people, Guo Degang, Yu Qian, Yue Yunpeng, and Sun Yue, are qualified to wear embroidered coats, and only Zhang Yunlei is qualified. Wear double-breasted shirts with large torso, and others with more seniority wear brightly colored ones.

In this regard, the staff of Deyun Club responded consciously, including Guo Degang, Luan Yunping, Zhang Yunlei, and Shaobing all said it, and the caliber is consistent. There is no unified regulation, and anyone can wear whatever they like. What. The responses from so many people on different occasions should be credible. Second, although there are no hard and fast rules, conventional rules exist objectively and are followed.

As mentioned above, there are currently no unified regulations, and it is credible. But in fact, the audience will see that there are clear rules for which types of people wear what kind of coats in Deyun Club performances. These customary rules are no less binding than express regulations:

1. Generally, actors do not wear embroidered coats. At first, Deyun Society only had the satin fabric coat worn by Guo Degang and Yu Qian. Later, Gao Feng, Luan Yun, Ping Yue, Yunpeng, Sun Yue and several early disciples occasionally wore it. With embroidery on it, only Guo Degang and Yu Qian often wear it, while Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue occasionally wear it.

2. Older people should wear darker colors, while younger people should wear lighter colors.

3. Wear plaid or fresh and embellished clothing when popular. The representative ones are Zhang Yunlei and Guo Qilin. They both wear plaid coats, and Zhang Yunlei likes to wear double-breasted ones. In my impression, Qin Xiaoxian and Meng Hetang sometimes added small decorations to their coats.

4. Students who have just debuted wear blue.

These conventional "hidden rules" do not need to be rigidly stipulated, and they are very binding. For example, for the embroidered coats worn only by the class leader Guo Yu and the main pillar Yue Yue (I remember Gao Luan and Tang Liang also wore dark flower ones, I can’t remember exactly), new students would not dare to wear them even if they have money, otherwise He will be ridiculed by the audience, and he will have no face to gain a foothold among his fellow students. Third, several topics come to mind from Deyun Club actors and actresses.

1. To inherit traditional folk art, traditional elements should be cherished. After the reform and opening up, crosstalk actors basically no longer wear coats. Most of them wear suits and leather shoes, with oily hair and powdered noodles. They don't look like traditional folk arts. No wonder the audience feels that crosstalk is going to die out! It was not until the rise of Deyun Society that the style of crosstalk actors wearing coats was revived. In addition, Deyun Society advocates the compilation and learning of Taiping lyrics and traditional jokes, allowing the audience to feel that traditional folk arts and traditional cross talk are back.

2. Attempts to industrialize folk art should be encouraged. Artists must be able to support themselves so that traditional art will not die out and be passed down from generation to generation. Art forms that rely on state wages to pass on can only become cultural "heritage." After Deyun Society mobilized the enthusiasm of the audience, it launched Deyun Huafu, Qilin Drama Club, and Noodle House, which are good attempts and worth thinking about.

Haha, what do you think of Deyun Society’s coats, noodle shop, and drama club? I actually think that Deyun's Chinese clothes are really pretty. I will wear them for fun when I have time in the future [yeah] [yeah] [yeah]

A first-class coat with urine base,

The second-class coat has shiny satin surface,

The third-class coat has rolled-up sleeves,

The fourth-class coat has not enough legs.

Guo Degang and Yu Qian’s coats are all embroidered with patterns. The shiny satin is the kind worn by Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue. It looks very thick and the fabric is high-end. The rest are basically the third type. , with a white lining, and the sleeves are white when rolled up. The last one may be worn by students

The more popular actors each have several sets, and their regular partners also have the same color. If you are performing a special performance, you have to change your outfit every time you appear, in order to make the audience stand out. Generally, older actors wear something more elegant, such as gray or bean paste color, while young actors wear something brighter, such as bright red or lemon yellow. Yes, children wear brighter colors, such as pink, moon white, etc., to look lively. This is generally the case, but they also wear their favorite colors. Zhang Helun often wears lotus color to match his more exaggerated performances, and his style is also Very coordinated. Recently, Xiaoyue's coats have begun to lean towards darker colors, such as brown and dark gray, and the style has become more and more sophisticated.

Zhang Yunlei said it himself in Harbin

At present, only Guo Degang, Yu Qian, Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue can wear embroidered coats in Deyun Club

Zhang Yunlei can wear double-breasted coats coat.

Scene restoration:

Zhang: Brother-in-law, I really like your coat (double-breasted), it’s so beautiful.

Guo: Then go ahead and do it

Zhang: Can I do it?

Guo: It wasn’t possible before, but it is possible now.

It proves that not everyone can wear double-breasted coats, and it also proves that there are indeed levels of coats.

Of course, it also proves that Zhang Yunlei is indeed popular and has become a star.

Talking about Deyun Club, it is inevitable to say that the actors of Deyun Club wear coats when they go on stage. Wearing coats was a tradition handed down by early crosstalk actors when performing crosstalk. However, during the Cultural Revolution, due to criticism, the actors had no choice but to replace their coats with Chinese tunic suits or suits. After the establishment of Deyun Society, Guo Degang restored this practice. There is a tradition of wearing coats, which is why everyone recognizes the coats of Deyun Society today. Nowadays, whether we are watching Deyun Club’s box-packing performances, unboxing performances, small theater performances, or commercial performances, in these various performances we will observe that Guo Degang and Yu Qianzhe are partners in coats. They are mainly black with embroidery, and actors like Yue Yunpeng who have made outstanding contributions in Deyun Club are also very popular actors. The coats they wear are mainly dark colors and sometimes have embroidery.

In the future, for example, the influence is not great, or the status is not high. For example, most students of Hezi Ke, Jiuzi Ke and Xiaozi Ke are still learning their cross talk skills , have no greater influence, so they usually wear solid-colored coats when performing on stage, and they are mainly light colors. In particular, we can see most of the Jiuzike and Xiaozike. These cross talk The coats worn by the actors are very brightly colored. You must have understood the differences in the levels of Deyun Club's cross talk coats by this point.

In Deyun Club, generally speaking, those with lower seniority or smaller wrists wear brighter solid-colored coats, because wearing a coat here can give the audience a visual impact at first glance , it is easier for the audience to remember you and have a deeper impression of you, so if you want to leave an impression on the audience, improve your reputation, and let more audiences pay attention to you, wearing a brighter color coat is a very good choice.

Then, most of the mainstays in Deyun Club wear dark-colored coats. These people have their own certain influence and their own fixed fans. They are the mainstay of Deyun Club. Ticket sales are guaranteed, and the ability to speak cross talk is also very good, and it can also create more benefits for Deyun Club. These people wear dark-colored coats, which is basically a status symbol, and it also serves as a cross talk business for them. The ability is affirmed, so those who perform cross talk in dark colors also have a certain status in Deyun Club, and they are basically horns and wrists.

Finally, there are cross talk actors with higher qualifications like Guo Degang and Yu Qian. They have higher seniority and very strong business ability in cross talk, and they also recruit apprentices to spread the skill of cross talk. As the inheritance continues, they will wear black coats with embroidery on them, indicating that their status is very high. Basically, this type of people will make certain contributions to cross talk and achieve certain achievements. Achievements, or very influential in spreading cross talk.

To sum up, Deyun Society’s coats also have a very strict hierarchy. What color coat you wear is a display of your status. Generally speaking, bright colors are the first level, and black coats also have Embroidery is the highest level. Finally, I hope what I said will be helpful to everyone.

The coats of Deyun Society are basically like this.

The ones with pattern embroidery on their coats are the most powerful and have the highest rank. Currently, only Guo Degang, Yu Qian, Yue Yunpeng, and Sun Yue can wear them.

Apart from the different fabrics, the main difference is the color. People who are good at work and have high professional skills tend to wear coats in dark colors, such as black, blue, and brown. Because they rely more on their own works to attract audiences.

A little more common, speaking in general terms. The color of the coat will be brighter, more to attract the audience's attention.

Of course, there are also individual times.

If you don’t have a big coat, those who like to take off the big coat are the best!

No bragging or slander, let’s talk about cross talk with you fairly and impartially. First of all, to answer the question, the coats of Deyun Society are exquisite and hierarchical.

The highest level in Deyun Society is the embroidered coat. Currently, only four people can wear embroidered coats: Guo Degang, Yu Qian, Yue Yunpeng, and Sun Yue. They are also the current pillars of Deyun Club. Nowadays, Zhang Yunlei, Guo Qilin, Meng Hetang and others who are extremely popular all wear brighter coats.

Deyunshe (including the predecessor Beijing Crosstalk Conference) has insisted on traditional crosstalk since its opening. It can be said that it has done a very good job in inheriting traditional crosstalk and has also ignited the entire crosstalk performance market. As we all know, you need to wear a coat to perform traditional cross talk. Crosstalk master Ma Sanli once said that in the early years, crosstalk actors were relatively poor and could wear anything when performing on stage. Later, the crosstalk coat gradually developed. At that time, the colors of the coat were mainly black, gray, cyan, and blue. The main theme is basically dark tones. The purpose is to make people ignore the costumes and only pay attention to the expressions and language arts of the crosstalk actors.

In addition, wearing a coat is also very particular. The buttons must be Chinese-style button loops. Generally speaking, you need to wear a white coat inside first, and then put on the coat outside, with white cuffs and white cuffs. The white collar can leak or not leak. There are 5 openings for wearing a small coat inside, and 7 openings for wearing a large coat outside. Later, they gradually became unified into 6 openings. They are distributed at the collar and side. When fastening buttons, according to the old rules, the apprentice needs to fasten the sideways position first, and then the master can fasten the collar position first. However, with the development of the times, these have slowly changed.

In Deyun Club, being able to wear an embroidered coat is a symbol of status, an affirmation of the strength of cross talk, and a reflection of status in Deyun Club. Currently, there are only two pairs of artists in Deyun Club who can wear embroidered coats. They are Guo Degang and Yu Qian, Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue. You can wear this embroidered coat and perform on stage. It means that you are truly popular and famous, and the audience recognizes you. Based on this principle, it is estimated that Zhang Yunlei and Yang Jiulang will soon wear an embroidered coat.

Don’t underestimate the coat embroidery of Deyun Club. It is not machine-made. It is all hand-embroidered by Mr. Chang Shuling, the famous "Chang Ji" in the cross talk circle. It is a fine piece of work. Mr. Chang Shuling is from Tianjin. He has been cutting Chinese-style coats since he was a boy. The coats he made were well-known in the cross talk circle at that time and were definitely classified as "well-known trademarks".

Yes.

Guo Degang said personally at the 2019 Gangsi Festival: "I didn't stipulate what kind of coat you should wear, right? You see some of you are wearing quilt covers, what did I say?" At that time, Xiaobai wore it. A light-colored reflective coat does indeed look like a quilt.

Everything the parties involved deny is all rumors. Because no matter how authoritative you are, you can't be more authoritative than Guo Degang, right?

Therefore, Deyun Society’s crosstalk coat does not have any level regulations.

The absence of regulations does not mean that there are no differences.

Let’s give a simple example. If the leader of your unit drives cars worth more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan, and you drive a Hummer alone, is it a bit “ulterior”?

Okay, if you don’t have “ulterior motives”, then you are “ignorant of current affairs” and too showy.

Same thing. The class leader wears an embroidered coat that costs tens of thousands. As a young actor who has just apprenticed, it is reasonable for you to wear a coat that costs hundreds or thousands. If you insist on wearing a gold-plated and diamond-encrusted outfit worth hundreds of thousands, what are you showing off?

There is another layer. As a partner, the coats you wear should match. Even if you are a rich second generation, your family is rich, and you don’t feel bad about wearing tens of thousands of work clothes, you still have to consider your partner’s feelings, right? What? You send him? Does he feel better if he accepts your gift because he is poor?

Only very popular actors with high incomes, such as Guo Degang, Yu Qian, Yue Yunpeng, and Sun Yue, can buy tens of thousands of pieces, several pieces a year. He chooses a large sum of money without blinking an eye. Because he has the financial resources, so does his partner.

This is not the rule of Deyun Society. These are the rules of society.

According to Guo Degang, no, the apprentices can make whatever kind of coat they like. The reason why the apprentices don’t make embroidered coats is because embroidered coats are expensive.

Is this really the case?

Owners like Qin Xiaoxian, who have always had 160,000 in their pockets and don’t know how to spend it, have never made an embroidered coat for a while.

On Yang Jiulang’s birthday, Zhang Yunlei sent him a five-digit red envelope, and the two of them were not seen making an embroidered coat for a business performance.

Except for Guo Degang and Yu Qian, no one in Deyun Society has worn embroidered coats for a long time.

Later, when Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue became famous, they began to wear embroidered coats.

Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue are the only pair of actors after Guo Yu who can make money for Deyun Club through commercial performances. They are no less popular. Yu Master, so one time when the box was sealed, the two of them put on embroidered coats.

Except for these two pairs, no one in Deyun Society wears embroidered coats.

Watching "New Crosstalk", it seems that Jin Fei and Chen Xi have worn an embroidered coat.

It also proves that this thing is not expensive.

So one guess is that Deyunshe wears an embroidered coat as a default hierarchy.

No one may say clearly who can wear it and who cannot wear it, but everyone silently abides by it, which is an unspoken rule.

Ha, Deyun Society also has hidden rules.

Another unspoken rule of Deyun Club that Mr. Guo seems to have clarified is the widely circulated practice of taking sesame cakes. Water glass.

Legend has it that every time Guo Degang goes out, whether it is a business performance or an announcement, there is always an apprentice beside him holding a water glass for him. No one else is allowed to touch this water glass.

This apprentice is Guo Degang’s son, Shaobing.

Teacher Guo said there is no such thing.

In fact, just because you don’t hold a water cup when making sesame cakes does not mean that others can’t. As long as Guo Degang’s trusted disciples and relatives can hold Teacher Guo’s water cup.

The water cup matter is of great importance. It is said that a certain singer lost his voice because someone tampered with the water cup. Just when he was popular, he fell from a high place to the bottom.

There is a scene that is not common in movies and TV shows these days. A girl was drinking in a bar. When she got up to go to the bathroom, an unknown man put a little powder into her glass. .

When the girl came back, she didn’t know anything. She picked up the wine glass and drank all the wine in the glass.

The next day, the girl found herself lying naked in the hotel's big bed room.

The cross talk circle is already very chaotic, and Deyun Club is the focus. How many people are waiting with magnifying glasses to find the mistakes of Deyun Club.

If someone had the opportunity to put a leg-stretching pill into Guo Degang's water glass, I think they would be willing to take the risk and give it a try.

If Guo Degang could no longer speak, half of Deyun Society would collapse.

So I think it is possible to get a water cup, and it may not just be a sesame seed cake.
