Guo Degang "drifted to the north". If he wanted to take root in Beijing, he had to study under the famous cross talk master, so he brought a gift and wanted to study under Li Jindou, but Li Jindou did not take a fancy to the unlettered Guo Degang, so he rejected him. Apprenticeship request. In 2003, when Guo Degang participated in a TV program, he unexpectedly caught the attention of Hou Yaowen and expressed his love for the young actor. In the end, faced with various doubts and obstacles, Mr. Hou Yaowen accepted Guo Degang as his disciple. ?Hou Yaowen overcame all objections to accept Guo Degang, which was the greatest favor to Guo Degang

In 2003, Guo Degang participated in the National Cross Talk Conference held by Beijing Television. As a judge, Hou Yaowen took a liking to Guo Degang at a glance and was even more impressed with his performance. It was full of praise. After that, the two established a relationship. Hou Yaowen offered Guo Degang a chance to perform, introduced him to the TV station, and actively paved the way for Guo Degang's success. Over the past year, in 2004, Hou Yaowen accepted Guo Degang as his disciple amidst a lot of opposition, making Guo Degang officially a member of the cross talk family and having a legitimate mainstream identity. It is not uncommon for a person to give you a few words of enlightenment and comfort.

During the most difficult time of Deyun Club, Hou Yaowen spent 50,000 yuan to support Guo Degang. , this kind of feat is really not achieved by many people. I think you and I, who have extensive social experience, know what money is and the pros and cons involved. It is difficult for ordinary people to support his apprentice and his career at all costs. Some people may say that Hou Yaowen is rich, but you don’t understand rich people very well. They love money more than anyone else, and lending them money is like cutting their flesh. But Hou Yaowen gives it for free, and his financial situation is actually not very good. , This is not a master, this is obviously a loving father! Crosstalk wizard Hou Yaowen

There are recognized masters in the crosstalk world, and Ma Sanli, Hou Baolin, Liu Baorui and Ma Ji deserve to be recognized. There are also masters who have contributed to the industry. Zhu Shaowen, Zhang Jieyao and Zhang Shouchen are undisputed. There are also popular artists of the new era, such as Guo Degang, Yue Yunpeng, Zhang Yunlei, Meng Hetang and other Deyun actors who stand out among the crowd. Mr. Hou Yaowen took a different approach and created his own performance style with his extraordinary talent. Moreover, his imaginative creations left a valuable industry to later generations and even influenced other comedy industries.

Guo Degang said that Hou Yaowen did not formally teach him cross talk performance, and the two only exchanged some ditties. However, in fact, many of the details of Guo Degang's current performance were used by Mr. Hou Yaowen in his early years. For example, there is a very classic scene where Lao Guo poses and pulls through the door as if he is about to sing, but the style of the painting changes to talking. This technique has also been used by stand-up comedian ROCK, and the stage effect is very good. Because there is an "accident" as a comedy foreshadowing, the audience's laughter nerves are naturally triggered. Hou Yaowen passed away

On June 13, 2007, Hou Yaowen, a cross talk master, unfortunately passed away due to a sudden cardiogenic heart disease at the age of 59. Because he left in an extremely hasty manner and did not make a will, there was a sensational "inheritance case". But it is very unfortunate that Hou Yaowen died young and did not see the prosperous scene of Deyun Society today. The death of his master was a big blow to Guo Degang, because his master had been by his side all these years, giving him advice and finding a way for him. Suddenly his leader was gone, and he felt extremely painful inside. Hou Yaowen talked with Guo Degang all night before his death

The media captured Guo Degang standing in front of his mentor's tomb for a long time, thoughtfully. Guo Degang accepted an interview with the media and revealed that his mentor had a long conversation with him all night before his death, revealing the shocking inside story of the cross talk industry. Hou Yaowen was dying. We may never know the world-shaking inside story revealed to Guo Degang. But there are two things about Hou Yaowen that cannot be ignored. Due to inheritance disputes after Hou Yaowen's death, his ashes were not buried until four years after his death

Hou Yaowen died suddenly of a heart attack. Due to the suddenness of his death, Hou Yaowen did not make a will to explain the distribution of his estate after his death. Hou Yaowen's inheritance dispute resulted in his body being buried four years after it was cremated. The reason for the refusal was revealed by Hou Yaowen's two biological daughters: after their father passed away, when they came back from abroad to handle his father's estate, they only saw a car and a property (Rose Garden Villa) with outstanding loans, and all the property in the villa had been moved away privately. .

They didn’t know exactly how much their father’s inheritance was. The inheritance was handled privately by their uncle Hou Yaohua, Hou Yaowen’s nephew Niu Chengzhi, Hou Yaowen’s disciple Guo Xiaoxiao and his wife. Hou Yaowen's daughter took these four people to court, claiming that the defendants had embezzled her father's inheritance.

After more than a year of litigation, the case finally reached an out-of-court settlement. During the handling of this matter, Guo Degang, who had won the trust of his master in the past, was the only one to stand up and express his support for Hou Yaowen's daughter. This led to Hou Yaowen's funeral, and Hou Yaohua did not notify or invite Guo Degang to attend. After Hou Yaowen's death, Guo Degang was in great pain, and later spent 20 million to buy the villa where Hou Yaowen lived.

After Hou Yaowen died of a sudden heart attack in 2007, he left behind a villa where he lived. But the villa was bought with a down payment of several million and a loan of several million, and the loan has not been repaid yet. It is difficult for Hou Yaowen's two daughters to continue to repay the mortgage. Under such circumstances, if the loan cannot be repaid, the bank may have to take back the villa and hand it over to the court, and it may be seized and auctioned.

Guo Degang was Hou Yaowen's apprentice. Guo Degang respected Hou Yaowen very much. After Hou Yaowen left, he was very uncomfortable and tried his best to arrange Hou Yaowen's funeral. Knowing that the master's family had real estate problems, Guo Degang spent 20 million, which was probably higher than the market price at the time, to buy the villa so that Hou Yaowen's two daughters would not suffer. Therefore, the main reason why Guo Degang bought Hou Yaowen's villa during his lifetime was to help and repay his kindness.

Actually, if you were Guo Degang, you would do the same thing. First of all, Hou Yaowen really had nothing to say to Guo Degang. Guo Degang was also a very grateful and respectful person. After Hou Yaowen passed away, this building Because there was still a loan for the villa, his daughter Houzan was unable to repay it. At this time, Guo Degang stepped forward to buy the master's villa. This was undoubtedly the best result. Guo Degang also hoped to maintain the dignity and respectability of the master.
