The name Zhao Benshan is well-known in China.
His works have made countless audiences laugh.
Therefore, everyone is known as "the first person in Chinese sketches".
But he announced his withdrawal from the Spring Festival Gala in 2013.
What's going on here?
Since then, he has withdrawn from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala
In November 2013, Zhao Benshan held a press conference to announce a major news:
"I will no longer appear in sketches from next year, I need to have independent time to think about my own works, such as TV series, and the stage of the Spring Festival Gala should be left to newcomers"
As soon as this news was announced, it instantly touched the nerves of the people of the whole country.
Everyone doesn't understand why he suddenly withdrew from the Spring Festival Gala stage.
And this matter has been known for a long time.
Since the Spring Festival Gala in 2012, he has been absent.
The official release of the Spring Festival Gala that year:
"Teacher Zhao Benshan decided to bid farewell to the 2012 Spring Festival Gala stage due to poor physical condition."
Everyone felt sorry for this at first.
There is another favorite artist missing from the Spring Festival Gala program.
But what happened next was a little strange to everyone.
The official media of the Spring Festival Gala said that he decided to quit because of his ill health.
But he took "Blind Date 2" to appear at Liaoning Satellite TV's Spring Festival Gala.
Obviously, the ill body is just a rhetoric.
Everyone speculated that he had a conflict with Song Dandan or Fan Wei, so he refused to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
But is the reason really as the audience guessed?
The clash of ideas had no choice but to quit
In fact, he had no plans to leave the Spring Festival Gala at the beginning.
In the 2012 Spring Festival Gala, he also specially prepared the sketch "Good People and Good Deeds".
According to their team, this work was specially designed by him to take his apprentices.
It is to give the apprentices a chance to show themselves.
But as a result, this show did not appear on the Spring Festival Gala that year.
The reason is precisely because the Spring Festival Gala that year was undergoing drastic reforms.
Harvin began to officially serve as the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala.
Her ideological concepts are not quite the same as those of traditional directors.
She feels that the Spring Festival Gala also needs to innovate, not just a few people on stage every year, and also needs to give newcomers more opportunities.
In previous years, the first director of the Spring Festival Gala invited was Zhao Benshan.
Because he was so popular, basically inviting Zhao Benshan to the Spring Festival Gala was half of the success.
But Harvin didn't think so.
She focused on some newcomers and directly ignored Zhao Benshan.
But even so, Zhao Benshan was not dissatisfied.
still brought his works to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
But what he didn't expect was that his work was eliminated in the first round of review.
This has never appeared in his 20-year Spring Festival Gala career.
He asked Haven why.
Harvin said it was because his work was not educational.
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Benshan was completely confused, why does a sketch need to be educational.
He could not understand the director's thoughts.
Although he was dissatisfied, after all, it was the director's final say, and he could only abide by it.
So unwillingly, he went back and hurried to produce "Blind Date 2".
But in the end, he was directly killed by Harvin.
In the end, Zhao Benshan, who had no choice, could only bring his works to the Liaoning Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala.
And this show, which was killed by Harvin, is also popular all over the country.
In a later interview, he said:
"The biggest theme of the Spring Festival Gala sketch is happiness, your work can't educate people, we have been in this education process for 365 days, is it useful for you to educate him on this night? Just make him happy. ”
But his ideas did not convince Harvin.
After his show was killed again in 2013, he also knew that he was no longer suitable for this stage.
In the end, he withdrew from the Spring Festival Gala stage.
From the trough to the peak
He has been dependent on his blind second uncle since he was a child.
In order to survive, he followed his second uncle to the streets and alleys since he was a child.
The hardships of life also made him cherish every opportunity even more.
At the age of 19, he entered the Xifeng County Theater Troupe to study.
During his days in the troupe, he worked very hard.
Practice late into the night every day.
And it is precisely because of his hard work at this time that his future road is exceptionally smooth.
A few years later, he and Pan Changjiang co-starred in the drama "Daguan Lantern".
And this scene is also loved by the audience.
In just one year, the two have appeared in more than 200 performances in various places.
The names of the two have also spread all over the streets and alleys of the Northeast.
Even Jiang Kun, who was in the limelight at the time, couldn't compare to him.
At that time, Jiang Kun took his team to perform in Tieling.
But just halfway through the performance, some viewers below said, "Not as good as Zhao Benshan."
Hearing this, Jiang Kun also became interested in Zhao Benshan.
After the performance, he went to watch Zhao Benshan's performance.
After watching a few games, Jiang Kun was pleasantly surprised.
So he went backstage to find Zhao Benshan and wanted to introduce him to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
"You're amazing, if you don't go to CCTV, I'll turn the word Jiang upside down."
Since then, he has started his own road to the Spring Festival Gala.
From "Blind Date", which appeared on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, to "You at the Same Table" when leaving, all of them made the audience laugh.
But in the end, because he didn't agree with the director of the Spring Festival Gala, he left this stage.
But although he left the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he still brought us laughter elsewhere.
The status quo
After withdrawing from the Spring Festival Gala, Zhao Benshan focused on TV series.
His country love series has also brought us a lot of joy.
often tops the satellite TV ratings.
and "The Legend of Magpie Knife Gate", which was launched last year.
Looking at the play, he seems to have returned to the time when he watched the sketch before, laughing from beginning to end.
His purpose was always just to make everyone happy.
Unlike most of today's works, they have to be created in the form of joys and sorrows.
The response to this drama was very good when it was launched last year, and the Douban score was as high as 8.2 points.
You must know that "Charlotte's Troubles", which was popular a few years ago, only scored 7.9 points.
And with everyone's enthusiasm after the start of the broadcast, "urging the change".
Just a few days ago, "The Legend of Magpie Knife Gate Season 2" also announced its successful completion.
Everyone also expressed their expectations in the comments.
Today's director of the Spring Festival Gala is no longer Harvin.
But her ideas spread.
Now the sketches are full of all kinds of educational meaning.
It feels like it's going to be turned into an educational film.
And not only the Spring Festival Gala, but also the sketches in many programs.
The front is embarrassing to death, and the ending has to be forcibly sublimated.
Can this really be called a sketch?
Everyone has worked hard for a year, and the Spring Festival Gala just wants to be relaxed and lively.
Maybe that's why people like Mr. Motoyama.
