Cao Suifeng

essential information

Early experience

Cao Suifeng is a native of Xinzhai village, Chengguan Town, Yanshi. Since he was a child, he loved to imitate the sounds of various animals. He bought tapes of performances by Lausanne, Zhao Benshan, Liu Lanfang and others, and began to imitate them at home. Every morning at 4 o'clock, he went to the beach to practice his oral skills.

In January 2000, Cao Suifeng took part in the finals of "star face" of "happy 100" entertainment program of Fujian southeast TV station. He first performed oral skills, then imitated Shan Tianfang's storytelling, and finally won the second place. Cao Suifeng donated the 5000 yuan prize to the hope project.

Cao Suifeng never dreamed that he would become a literary soldier. As soon as he got home, three soldiers came to visit him. It turned out that his wonderful performance on TV, especially his donation of 5000 yuan to the hope project, moved the head of a certain department in Luoyang. In this way, Cao Suifeng was specially recruited as a literary and artistic soldier.

At the beginning of 2006, Fan Jun, a comedian, called Cao Suifeng and asked him to sign up for the CCTV crosstalk contest. At that time, Cao Suifeng hesitated, thinking that he had no professional training and had no bottom in mind when he went to CCTV. However, encouraged by Fan Jun, he took part in the Henan Provincial selection competition, and his partner Shi Yaxin's crosstalk "Happy Farmhouse" eliminated 13 pairs of contestants and won in the end.

On October 6, in the final of CCTV crosstalk competition, Cao Suifeng and his partner came on the stage for the third time. He imitated the sound of motorcycles, Yang Kun and Zhang Yu, and the duet of male and female voices, which made the program climax. The famous comedian Xiaolin praised Cao Suifeng's performance on the spot. After the game, Maggie took him by the hand and kept praising him. He won the third prize in the second cross talk competition. In 2008, Cao Suifeng and his partner Wang Tong performed crosstalk "waiting hall" and won the third prize in the third crosstalk competition.

Cook's dream, three meals a day

At the age of 14, Cao Suifeng dropped out of school. At that time, he shouldn't have called it that. Cao Suifeng, formerly known as Cao Yanfeng. "With the wind" is a name I later named.

Occasionally heard parents discuss: "although the peak tuition how to do, immediately start school, we think about it." At that time, Cao Suifeng had made up his mind to "never read this book again". Cao Suifeng also has a younger brother and a younger sister. It's hard to support the three children to study by relying on his father to make money by loading sand outside. As the eldest son of his family, Cao Suifeng decided to give up the opportunity to study and help his family earn money.

When he was young and dropped out of school, Cao Suifeng went to a small restaurant in the county as a waiter. The hotel provided accommodation and managed three meals a day. The original work started from cleaning the table and sweeping the floor, doing some simple work. Cao Suifeng said that at that time, the salary was paid once every six months. Although it was very small, he was still very happy and felt that he could do something for his family to reduce the burden of his parents.

From being a cook for three meals a day to working as a cook with his own efforts, Cao Suifeng has become the best cook in the hotel after several years of training. "Without two brushes, I dare not show it casually.". Cao Suifeng said that no matter what he did, he wanted to do it well.

Cao Suifeng's sense of accomplishment as a cook can not satisfy his desire. Since he was a child, Cao Suifeng liked to imitate some chicken, duck and dog barks, and he imitated them incisively and vividly, and even confused them with the real ones. At ordinary times, he likes to watch crosstalk sketches on TV most. It is these hobbies that Cao Suifeng decides to change his career. After working in a restaurant for four years, 18-year-old Cao Suifeng decided that he would change his job.

Talent star, we also have "material"

"It's not easy to change jobs easily." After Cao Suifeng resigned, he specialized in his hobbies. Buy a lot of comic tapes and listen to them over and over again. When you're familiar with it, practice at home and imitate the voice of the characters on the tape. Sometimes, when you go out, you can have a few sentences from time to time.

"Is Cao Suifeng sick in your family? I don't know what he's talking about all day? You won't show him either? " It's not good for Cao Suifeng's parents to hear such words. At this time, Cao Suifeng was already a big and small man. When he was old enough to talk about marriage, there was no news about him. All day long, Cao Suifeng was still "not doing his job" and had no source of income. Cao Suifeng was also in trouble. His behavior brought too much trouble to his family.

In order to avoid suspicion, Cao Suifeng decided to go out early every day. While it was still dark, he ran to the riverside of the neighboring village to practice. He tried to avoid meeting acquaintances and causing less trouble to his parents. It was just exercise. "Now I don't know how I can be so strong." Cao Suifeng felt that he should do something after a year of such a life.

At that time, "talent show" was popular on TV, waves of civilians came out from the talent show stage, which made Cao Suifeng itch. Cao Suifeng thought that he would "show" himself, so he recorded his voice on the tape, then made a small box, packed the tape and sent it to the talent show crew. "A total of more than 20 discs have been sent. My God, there is no reply." Cao Suifeng said that at that time, he really didn't know what to do. He was too hard hit. No one recognized what he worked so hard to make. "Ha ha, it's better to wait for one at last.

”Cao Suifeng said that this opportunity may have changed his fate. At that time, it was a talent show of Fujian TV station. When Cao Suifeng performed on stage for the first time, he was so nervous that he was almost voted down.

Fortunately, the director saw the tension of Cao Suifeng and his talent, so he was given a second chance. Cao Suifeng grasped the rare opportunity and saw that the audience under his stage liked him very much. Some even stood up and applauded.

The success of the draft greatly inspired Cao Suifeng's fighting spirit: "if you do it, you can say crosstalk!"

In the second competition, Cao Suifeng won the second place. The bonus is 5000 yuan, which is not a small amount for him, maybe more than his father's hard work in two years. But at that time, Cao Suifeng donated the money to a poor teacher nearby without saying a word. He said that he didn't know what he thought at that time, but he thought it was necessary. "We Henan people are short of money and conscience. Some people are more difficult than us, so we can't see them." There is a kind of chivalrous feeling between Cao Suifeng's words.

Speaking Henan dialect, we also drift north

Cao Suifeng's performance in the draft was seen by the head of a Jinan Department in Luoyang. The head called Cao Suifeng, so he became a soldier. It's incredible to think that Cao Suifeng never thought he could be a soldier.

It is in the army that Cao Suifeng began to learn crosstalk systematically and began to learn from his teachers. Cao Suifeng said that he has gained a lot. He has performed in the army for three or four hundred times. No matter where he performs, he can gain valuable experience.

In 2006, Cao Suifeng participated in the crosstalk competition of CCTV and won the third prize of amateur group. He was recognized by these professional judges. Cao Suifeng said that he was really beautiful in his heart. What excited him most was that he ran into Mr. Feng Gong and became his apprentice, which made Cao Suifeng feel that he was on the right road.

When I first came to Beijing, it was not easy, and the most "treatment" I received was people's eyes. Cao Suifeng said that the scene at that time was that a group of other people were eating a piece of cake, and then they went to fight with others, of course they would be hit and rejected. In particular, Henan people are more difficult, so all his cross talk talks insist on speaking Henan dialect, not Mandarin, just to prove to those who look down on Henan people that we are really no worse than others.

Henan dialect has a natural ability, that is, a very common sentence can make others laugh. With the help of crosstalk, Cao Suifeng gives Henan dialect more space for development, makes Henan dialect carry forward and reestablishes the image of Henan people.

Simple Henan boy

That's no joke

When it comes to the movie "not for fun", Cao Suifeng's motivation is not only because he starred in the movie, but also because it gives Henan people a "long face". All Henan people, pure Henan dialect, is a great propaganda of Henan spirit.

Cao Suifeng watched the film no less than eight times. The first time he watched the newly edited tape, he was very nervous at that time and worried that the director would not be happy because of the bad performance. The second time he watched the film at the viewing ceremony, instead of looking at the screen, he directly looked at the audience's faces and their expressions, for fear that the audience would not like it. Later, the more I watched it, the more relaxed it was, because the audience's reaction was so good. Cao Suifeng said that seeing the audience laugh, he can really rest assured.

Despite the high praise, Cao Suifeng is still unsatisfied. It's hard to avoid being unfamiliar when making a film for the first time. Cao Suifeng said that if he did it again, there might not be so many elements of deliberate performance, and it could be more realistic. Cao Suifeng also summed up the reasons, mainly because he was used to performing cross talk on stage, and there were many "exaggerated performances".

Most of the images created by Cao Suifeng are simple and honest, because he is such a person. When it's OK, Cao Suifeng will stay at home and write cross talk. "Crosstalk is a wonderful thing. It's the oldest and the most novel. It's ancient because it's a traditional form of performance. It's novel because it has to keep pace with the times, otherwise it will be abandoned by the times." Every time Cao Suifeng performs a program, he shows it to his teacher Feng Gong. No matter how well he works hard, the teacher will always be dissatisfied. Cao Suifeng said that this is progress, because there is no end to learning
