At the age of 12, he took to the stage to perform. At first, he followed Guo Degang to the temple fair, then rushed from the Huguang Guild Hall in Beijing to Liulichang Street, and then bypassed the Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant in Hepingmen. After a new year, I can earn several thousand yuan.
Every time I rush back to Daxing after a performance with my master, I take the bus to Xihongmen, and then take the 937 bus to Daxing Post Office. In order to save five yuan, they would rather walk two stops home. He started learning boy skills by singing, shouting, and selling cloth. Later, Guo Degang taught him to sing traditional Taiping lyrics.
In 2006, Zhang Yunlei’s voice suddenly changed. "I gave up. I said I didn't have this life. God won't reward me with this bowl of rice." Zhang Yunlei left firmly, deleted everyone's phone numbers from his mobile phone, and disappeared from Deyun Club for six months. Year. He has worked in Internet cafes, billiards halls, service desks, and worked as a real estate agent and operator customer service.
My voice got better later and I wanted to be a pop singer. I returned to Beijing and was defrauded of 6,000 yuan. I didn’t want to go back to Tianjin, so I found a job as a skate watcher at an ice rink in Xidan. Sleeping on the ice rink, the monthly salary is 800 yuan.
Zhang Yunlei once secretly went to Tianqiao Theater and heard from the ticket seller at the door that it was a performance by Deyun Team Three. "What is Deyun Team 3? There was no Deyun Team 3 when I was a kid." Zhang Yunlei was unfamiliar with everything in Deyun Club, and the people at the door wouldn't let him in. I said, hello, I am Zhang Yunlei and I still won’t let me in. Later, they took me in for a long time. When I saw my third brother Kong Yunlong, I burst into tears. I said, third brother, give me some money. He said, OK, what's wrong with you? Zhang Yunlei explained that he was young and arrogant at the time, always thinking that a good man would make his way into the world.
When Zhang Yunlei was not popular before, he had a regular guitar accompaniment partner when he performed at Deyun Club. This person was called Li Ou. Li Ou usually liked smoking and drinking, and he had a very good relationship with Zhang Yunlei. . Zhang Liou also often takes Zhang Yunlei to drink and smoke. On the day Zhang Yunlei fell from the building, Zhang Yunlei drank a lot of wine under Li Ou's instigation, so his mind was a little unclear. At that time, he thought that the railings at the train station had three levels, but they collapsed after passing the second level. But when Li Ou saw Zhang Yunlei in such danger, he did not choose to save Zhang Yunlei at the first time, nor did he call 110. In the end, Zhang Yunlei fell down the building due to lack of physical strength. In the end, a passerby called the police.
When I was sent to the hospital, 9 ribs were broken on my left side, my lung was slashed, my left arm was comminutedly fractured, my hip bone was broken, and my pelvis was broken. As soon as I went to the operating table for an operation, "My internal organs were completely damaged. It was displaced, the diaphragm was damaged, and even the intestines and stomach were gone.” Zhang Yunlei said, “When the chest was opened, I was already declared dead.” That night, the eight-hour operation cost the hospital 30. There were multiple critical illness notices, "A director surnamed Han was unwilling to give up on me, saying that the child was so young and he would try one last time." In the end, he miraculously survived, with more than 100 steel nails covering his body.
Zhang Yunlei still remembers bed No. 8 in the innermost part of the intensive care unit. When the curtains were drawn, he was left alone, his hands and feet tied, unable to move. I heard the doctor whispering to the family to "think about working behind the scenes in the future." He was dissatisfied and said, "You might as well let me die."
When Guo Degang visited him, he couldn't help crying: "I'm done, I may say goodbye to this stage." "Don't worry, you really can't stand up, you are paralyzed and in a wheelchair." Come on, I'll teach you storytelling. You sit down and I'll let you come on stage." Guo Degang comforted him. Recalling this detail, he cried again. Before leaving that day, Guo Degang also told him that he must rest assured and recuperate, "As long as I am here, nothing will matter."
Zhang Yunlei said that his master's encouragement gave him a lot of motivation. After being discharged from the hospital, Zhang Yunlei secretly exercised in bed at night. He first learned to kneel up. "If I can kneel down, then I can definitely stand!" He held the bed with both hands and slowly raised his legs. When he first tried it, his heart was pounding.
After the incident, Li Ou also stated in front of the media many times that Zhang Yunlei could not think of committing suicide because he was under too much pressure at work. But this is not the case. Later, after Guo Degang learned the ins and outs of the matter, he quickly kicked Li Ou out of Deyun Club.
When Zhang Yunlei was 27 years old, he suddenly became popular. Xiangsi Shihuiyun, who has been following him for many years, said, "It's very inexplicable, and suddenly one day the whole Internet is filled with him." Open several popular short video applications, either Zhang Yunlei is singing "Exploring Qingshui River" live in a black coat, or everyone is singing "Exploring Qingshui River" there.
In the crosstalk circle, Zhang Yunlei was already very popular three or four years ago, but the wave of popularity in 2018 made him fall out of the circle. On Sina Weibo, Zhang Yunlei has 3.24 million fans, and the number of retweets and likes has reached 6 figures.
Scalpers started ticketing work for Zhang Yunlei, and a front-row seat for 10,000 yuan was sold out in 10 minutes, even though they had no idea who "Zhang Yunlei" was. During the recording of "Happy Camp", fans sent gifts including Hermès cashmere coats, Versace nightgowns, and 100 grams of gold bars. These enthusiastic and generous fans also made the word "Zhang Yunlei" appear in the audience. The Nasdaq horizontal screen in Times Square, New York, which was billed in seconds, was rotated for 6 days.
Zhang Yunlei launched his first single "Yuzhen", which sold more than 1 million copies in less than two minutes. The total sales of the single exceeded 700,000 copies within 7 hours, and it topped various daily and weekly best-selling charts.
In the Qingdao New Year's Eve special, Zhang Yunlei and Yang Jiulang performed a baggage from "Da Shang Shou", and it was obviously inappropriate to use an earthquake to hit it. The earthquake is a painful memory that people across the country do not want to touch, although the comedy effect is often based on tragic characters, resulting in a distorted contrast. However, the national crisis is so serious that Zhang Yunlei did not grasp the occasion and scale of the smashing and hanging. It is indeed inappropriate.
Not long after, Zhang Yunlei posted an apology to the public on Weibo, saying that he mentioned "Wenchuan", "Comfort" and other related content in his cross talk performance, which was very thoughtless. For this reason, I would like to apologize to the compatriots in the earthquake area, to the entire public, and to Deyun Society.
Due to the impact of the incident, all Zhang Yunlei's performances have been suspended. CCTV also believes that Zhang Yunlei has "deeply regretted and been condemned by his conscience", so he should not blindly "kill" those who "make mistakes against young people, especially those who know their mistakes and can correct them."
I hope Zhang Yunlei can learn a lesson from this incident and think twice before acting.
In 2019, he released his first single, "Yuzhen". Unexpectedly, sales reached one million in just 10 days, far surpassing many famous singers. Afterwards, Zhang Yunlei released his first digital album "Blue Sky", which sold 1.5 million copies on a certain music platform. It was certified as a "Gong Diamond" record, and its sales exceeded that of most traffic stars. Sales exceeded one million in 5 minutes, and sales exceeded 6 million yuan. He is the first crosstalk actor in history. Even if top traffic releases a new album, it will only be at this level.
Objectively speaking, Zhang Yunlei is indeed very hardworking today. He not only actively participates in various commercial performances, but also actively participates in public welfare undertakings.
