Recently, from time to time, I can read what Jiang Kun has done to cross talk, saying that he is building a "Jiang Kun comedy". Some editors interpreted it as opposing Degang Guo, which made the author sad and happy. In a word, both the Laughter Theater and Deyun Society contribute to the development of cross talk and benefit the audience. In the words of Master Hou, it means thanking parents for their food and clothing.

A few years ago, Jiang Kun was somewhat "low-key" in cross talk jokes, but his career seemed to be in full swing, and he was re-elected as the president of Quyi Artists Association. Degang Guo is still an unknown crosstalk performer, but his crosstalk career is thriving. Deyun Society has branches not only in China, but also in Australia. The rapid development of Deyun Society in recent 20 years has promoted the development of modern cross talk and made it popular. This is a career that Hou and other older artists failed to accomplish well. Now cross talk has been widely recognized. Although there are many critics, I think it is better than not developing, not innovating, and always holding outdated old jokes.

I think this is also a matter of concept. Jiang Kun has kept a low profile all these years and failed to keep up with the trend of market economy. From the day he engaged in Quyi, Jiang Kun can be said to be a person within the system, joined the Central Rap Troupe, and then took the leadership position of the industry association. His performance basically has no commercial elements, so it can be said that there is no competition in the market economy. Complete the tasks assigned by superiors and integrate the promotion of praise into the paragraph to express condolences to the performance. I'm not saying that this form can't train people. Jiang Kun was also popular all over the country in 1980s and 1990s. Post-Lin Bao, Ma Ji and others have been in the system since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and they have also made indelible contributions to the cause of cross talk. It's just that times have changed, which is another matter.

Degang Guo is different. Not in the system. If you can't keep the audience, you won't have food. How can we keep the audience and let them sit down and pay for his cross talk? This is Degang Guo's dream. Jiang Kun advocates "elegance", hasn't Degang Guo tried it? The effect is not ideal. The eyes of the masses are discerning, and practice is also testing the truth. Since elegance can't make ends meet, why can't vulgarity work? The "vulgarity" here is not the kind of pornography before liberation, but caters to the pace of life of modern young people and conforms to the ideological liberation of young people. There is no such thing as unhealthy. There are still a lot of traditional elements in Guo crosstalk, and old sayings and proverbs are constantly being broken. Jiang Kun is not driven by market competition, and his spiritual pursuit of pleasing the upper class or a higher level inevitably abandons the ordinary audience.
