Do you think the comedy industry is in a prosperous era today?

Prior to the founding of New China, comedy was in fact prosperous, with many artists on the streets, and it was a kind of cultural entertainment that the people enjoyed, and after 1949, there were three ups and downs. But on the whole, it was not as prosperous as it had been before, and it has not really prospered until now.

After the founding of New China, many traditional arts, including comedy, were in a difficult situation. There are no new artists in the old, they are all old artists, talking about the same old content, and can not adapt to the new era, that is, there is no more market. Then the road of comedy in the end how to go, Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli and other old comedy artists can be said to be a broken heart.

Under the inspiration of Mr. Lao She, comedy artists united to reform the old comedy, the old era of comedy innovation, remove the dregs, take the essence of a number of new comedy works adapted to the new society, performed on stage by the new audience welcome. This is the first time that a new generation of comedians has come to the forefront of the Chinese culture.

Until the 1980s, with the rise of new programs such as the Spring Festival Gala, the development of comedy has been further developed, but in the early 1990s. The rise of the sketches on the comedy industry has caused a great impact, and the TV program on the comedy of the restrictions are very strong, the comedy of this art form is not adapted to perform on TV programs, the phase into a long time in the doldrums.

Until the end of 2005, Guo Degang and his Deyunshe began to fire up, Guo Degang and his Deyunshe to bring back to the folk comedy, brought back to the small theater, so that people heard a more interesting comedy, and the TV is not the same as the comedy, Deyunshe's comedy time is generally half an hour to start, and got the majority of the people's favorites, and since then, many groups around the country have been comedic! Since then, many comedy groups across the country have followed suit, and teahouse comedy has returned to the public eye.

Of course, many theater comedy also appeared a lot of problems, De Yun She success is not easy to copy, so far, most of the comedy theater are belong to the loss of money, not to mention the ability to take commercial performances of the show, so far can do commercial performances is only De Yun She. After so many years of experience, Guo Degang see through, he said: 'now the comedy market is false prosperity' comedy is not really prosperous, we do not do well enough.
