Chapter 20 Section 8 says that cross talk is not for profit

I can say that some people now come to us to learn cross talk, one is for the name of Deyun Club, the other is for my master Guo Degang, and the third is for fame and fortune. At that time, I thought to myself: "After three years of study, I can earn a lot of money, buy a big house, and buy a Ferrari." I can only say that I haven't bought a Ferrari yet!Some people think very simply, and don’t think cross talk is a difficult task: “Isn’t it just memorizing it? If I can recite it on stage, I can also become a character. When I am on stage, I will definitely be flowers, applause, fame and fortune. "I can say bluntly: "That's why you are thinking blindly!" If you think so, you must never do this business. It doesn't mean that whoever comes here can become horns and wrists. The rate of success in art is very low, hard work alone is not enough, you have to work harder than others, and have experienced life that others have not experienced. With these as the foundation, talent must be added.

But for anyone who has this kind of idea of ​​making money and getting rich, becoming famous and famous, and one day becoming famous and gaining fame, I would advise you not to think about it.Yes, I admit that everyone wants to be good for themselves, but thinking like this is definitely not enough.Because when you haven’t started studying, your mind is biased, your mind is not on cross talk, and you only think: "I can succeed if you have more people?" I can only watch and sneer: You, you really can’t make it. I can’t control others, but for the students who followed me, I told them bluntly: “You don’t cherish the opportunity to be on stage now, and now every audience is full, but this is not what you sell. They came out, these audiences came for us as a group, what they wanted to see was us, Guo Degang, Cao Yunjin, and Deyun Society, maybe they came to buy tickets to watch cross talk today, but without our performance, we are not in the small theater , so what they are watching is your performance, but you have to know that we have already sold out the theater for you, you must cherish the opportunity to be on stage, behind the stage is the hard work of the audience." Maybe everyone will think, What I said was too lofty and arrogant, and I didn't take the students seriously, but I dare to say this, and I have the capital and confidence to say this, and I even feel that often in troubled times or adversity, there will be real heroes If a child or an excellent actor is born, if a person's life and experiences are smooth sailing, and he has not encountered major difficulties, it is actually very difficult to achieve success. This may not be true, but sometimes it is like this.

Looking back at the beginning, I only learned and talked about cross talk because I really liked cross talk. It was a coincidence that I became famous today. Naturally, it happened naturally.At the beginning, if he had been aiming for success and fame and fortune, he might not have made it to where he is today.
