On the Causes of Guan Gong's War against Qin Qiong

Hou and Guo Qiru's traditional cross talk Guan Gong vs is almost a household name. But I'm afraid not many people know how this strange cross talk joke was created. From 65438 to 0965, Beijing Film Studio filmed the opera art film Wild Pig Forest, starring famous Peking Opera performance artists Li, Li and Li, with Cui Xie as the director. On the day of the shutdown, people in the capital film and television circle went to congratulate, and the studio was full of laughter. Xie Tian, who loves the art of Peking Opera, said on the spot that he would perform with Cui Xie, each playing a figure from a different dynasty and taking photos as a souvenir. Because Li once starred in the Peking Opera Biography of Ma Su, he said, "I'll do it." Yuan Shihai saw that Cui Wei was burly, solemn and somewhat Guan Yu's style, and said, "Then Director Cui will play Guan Yu, and everyone will be lively." Li immediately instructed Xie and Cui to put on their makeup and spread out their "appearance" posture. In this way, he left a "still photo" of Guan Yu, the Han general with a green robe and a golden moon knife, and Qin Qiong, the Tang general with a sapphire arrow and a double mace. One day, Hou Zai saw this strange "stills". He was particularly interested and asked for thanks. Soon, according to this absurd plot, Hou created the cross talk "Guan Gong vs", which caused a great sensation once it was staged.
