Shan Tianfang, the most profitable storyteller: in the 60s, he saved thousands of dollars, and went to the sea to do business in the 90s

Speaking of storytellers, I believe many people have seen them, so how many people have seen multimillionaire-level storytellers.

Some people may say that although storytelling is the work of the quyi industry, in today's era of rapid development of the Internet, art does make money, and it may earn tens of millions of yuan, which is not a small amount. Would you be even more shocked if I told you that this rich-level storyteller did not earn so much in today's era, but in the eighties and nineties.

The profession of storyteller has actually started since ancient times. At that time, the circulation of information was not as convenient as we are today, relying on the mouth of the storyteller.

I believe that many people who have watched ancient TV series know that these people have one mouth, so they must have attracted the audience's attention from the beginning. Yes, that's the beauty of this industry.

In our modern times, there are also many people who are interested in storytelling. But the protagonist we are going to talk about today is not the current storyteller. Instead, he was born in 1934 in Shan Tianfang, Yingkou City, Liaoning Province.

Shan Tianfang is a Chinese storytelling performance artist, and his achievements at that time are beyond the reach of many people now. Why, let's take a look at the trajectory of this man of God's life.

Although Shan Tianfang's parents were both engaged in quyi, his parents didn't want Shan Tianfang to follow his old path at that time, after all, the hardships and twists and turns on this road can only be experienced by those who are in it. And at that time, the saying "drama is not valuable" was still felt by many people.

Fortunately, Shan Tianfang did not have the idea of taking this path at that time, he thought that doing this kind of work would not make money, so his idea was to become an engineer. After all, the craft is your own, and it was the time of industrial development, and there were many opportunities to make a fortune on this road.

Just when Shan Tianfang was admitted to the Northeast Institute of Technology after graduating from high school and was about to pursue his dream of being an engineer, Shan Tianfang's father's friend suddenly came out and wanted him to learn to speak with him. This person is Li Qinghai.

At that time, Shan Tianfang had already made up his mind to go to school, so he simply refused Li Qinghai's proposal, and he didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face by his own behavior at that time.

The college time came as promised, and just when Shan Tianfang was full of yearning for his college life, a series of events happened that broke his original illusions. Shan Tianfang, who had just entered college, was operated on in the hospital three times because of hemorrhoids, and when she returned to school again, she found that she had fallen behind a lot of homework. It's already unlucky.

But even more unfortunate is still to come, Shan Tianfang's father was sentenced to six years in prison for fighting, and his mother chose to divorce and remarry his father because of her loss. In Shan Tianfang's world at that time, all this was too loud and sudden, and there was no reaction. Faced with these things, he was not in the mood to go to school.

Shan Tianfang, who dropped out of school and planned to enter the society, wanted to reduce the burden on his family, but the frustration of finding a job again and again made him feel lost. At this moment, a woman who changed Shan Tianfang's life appeared, and this person was Wang Quangui.

Wang Quangui has some relationship with Shan Tianfang's mother, so he often reaches out to Shan Tianfang after learning what happened to him. After going back and forth, the relationship between the two people slowly became intimate, and Wang Quangui understood Shan Tianfang's thoughts very well, and the two seemed to understand each other's souls.

Wang Quangui is eight years older than Shan Tianfang, but this cannot be called an obstacle that prevents them, and the two of them fall in love with each other. So in 1954, the couple got together and got married.

After getting married, Shan Tianfang felt that he had to find a formal job to support his family, and at this time he remembered Li Qinghai, who wanted to teach him storytelling. So after some thought, Shan Tianfang decided to take Li Qinghai as his teacher and learn storytelling.

In this way, Shan Tianfang, who originally did not plan to have the road of quyi, embarked on this road under the arrangement of fate. After studying with Li Qinghai for a few years, Shan Tianfang began to perform on stage by himself, and after the first performance, Shan Tianfang looked at the 4.2 yuan in his hand and was excited.

You must know that in 1954, four yuan at that time was already earned by ordinary people in a few days. How can I not be thrilled that I earned the money I earned from a few days of hard work just by telling a story. In this way, Shan Tianfang and his wife were already able to earn four or five hundred at that time by relying on their own skills, which made the life of a family of several people extraordinarily chic.

The good times didn't last long, and such a good life ended after Mr. Storyteller was absorbed by the Quyi Troupe, and Shan Tianfang's salary was only 84 yuan per month, which was not more than one-third of what it used to be, which made Shan Tianfang a little unacceptable, thinking about how his life would go back more and more.

After Shan Tianfang and his wife summed up, they all felt that instead of getting a dead salary in the quyi troupe, it was better for the two of them to go out and wander. After some discussion, the two decided to let Wang Quangui go out to see if there was a place with a higher salary, and Shan Tianfang would stabilize the quyi troupe here first.

The hard work paid off, and after some searching, Wang Quangui really found a suitable place. Immediately, she corresponded with her husband and asked him to come over, and the salary given to them by the Hailar Opera Troupe was 180 fast.

The excited two immediately decided to go to the Hailar Quyi Troupe, and soon Shan Tianfang became the hot storyteller in it, but they didn't expect to be discovered by the Anshan Quyi Troupe. While they were trying to stabilize Shan Tianfang and his wife, they broke off the family's food relationship.

At that time, people still used food stamps to buy food, which was tantamount to forcibly forcing Shan Tianfang's family to comply. Shan Tianfang's stubborn temper was not endured, and immediately decided to leave the Hailar Quyi Troupe and return to Tiantaizhuang. Shan Tianfang still received a lot of love there.

In Tiantaizhuang, Shan Tianfang's monthly income was as high as 4,600 yuan, which was beyond the reach of several families combined at that time. It was precisely because of this that Shan Tianfang at that time was jealous and reported by his peers.

After Shan Tianfang was reported as a "black household", for the sake of her daughter's studies, Shan Tianfang had to break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. Now they can't continue in Tiantaizhuang, and their family has to return home to the Anshan Quyi Troupe.

Although the Quyi Troupe already knew that it was no longer possible to give Shan Tianfang a small salary, they wanted to give an extra ten yuan a month, but they put forward a request that they didn't want Wang Quangui to go back. Wang Quangui was already disgusted with the behavior of the Anshan Quyi Troupe, so he didn't say a word when he heard this request, and chose to return to his family.

Wang Quangui takes care of the family wholeheartedly in the family. With the improvement of family conditions, Shan Tianfang also began to pursue a high-quality life, and the luxury goods at home were still unseen by many people at that time. Many friends will leave with emotion when they go to Shan Tianfang's house. At that time, Shan Tianfang's living standard had already surpassed many people.

It's hard to get better. In 1992, Wang Quangui left forever. Facing the death of his wife, Shan Tianfang was very sad. He had no intention of staying in the quyi troupe, and he used his savings to set up his own company.

With his business acumen and ability, although Shan Tianfang experienced failure, he finally set up the company. And at that time, the company's profit was already more than 10 million.

60-year-old Shan Tianfang has made herself a multimillionaire with her ability. In 2018, 84-year-old Shan Tianfang also passed away after a lifetime of hard work, but unfortunately there was no one who could inherit his mantle.

is such a person who has relied on his own efforts to make the storytelling career so good, and he has been fighting for it all his life. Shan Tianfang always said that he is just an ordinary person, and his career is also a subsistence job, but it is his talent and ability that allow him to do well in this industry. We have to admire his talent.

I hope that everyone who has some dreams can be as brave as Shan Tianfang to pursue their dreams and shine in their careers.
