One winter night in 2008, Beijing's small overpass was full of vendors of all kinds.
At the corner of the overpass, a girl in her early 20s crouched aside and enthusiastically sold: "One necklace is 5 yuan, two sweater chains are 15 yuan."
Winters in Beijing are particularly cold. The girl's hands were frozen red, and the hot water she carried with her was frozen.
Her boyfriend stood next to her, heartbroken. She wanted to help her sell, but she opened her mouth and was embarrassed to say anything.
The girl saw the embarrassment of her boyfriend and said intimately: "You go back first!" It would be nice to have me here. ”
The boyfriend shook his head decisively: "Winter, it's cold, I'll accompany you." ”
The girl's name is Modan, a musical theater actress.
The boyfriend next to him is the unknown drama actor Qiao Shan.
In the cold winter moon, the two little couples are trying to earn a few silver.
No one could have imagined that a few years later, the girl's boyfriend Qiao Shan twice changed from a boring floor stall to a big star of the Spring Festival Gala.
01
In the summer of 1984, Qiao Shan was born in Harbin to a family of police officers.
Although my father was an old criminal policeman, in addition to being harsh, there was always a bit of literary style. He especially enjoys singing.
Under the influence of her father, Josan felt that she would become a police officer who liked to sing in the future.
I learned the electronic keyboard in elementary school, guitar in high school, and formed a band with master.
The band participated in various school activities, received a lot of applause and screams, and greatly enriched Qiao Shan's extracurricular life.
But this crazy and happy life was short, lasted only a year, and ended with my brother graduating.
My brother was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama. After returning home from winter vacation, he happily told him how wonderful the university life was and how wonderful it would be to become a big star in the future.
This made Qiao Shan, who had never seen the world, shine brightly, and she was very envious.
The master brother was very excited to see him, and the last wave of persuasion: "You register for the exam now, you will immediately see handsome and beautiful women, after passing the exam you will win, you don't have to go to class anymore!" ”
After hearing this, Joshan immediately solemnly declared to her parents: "I want to pass the exam." Play, learn to do. ”
The parents were stunned when they heard it, and did not want to agree, but they could not resist their son's insistence, so they had to agree.
Qiao Shan went to Beijing soon and attended a month-long Chinese opera training class.
In the course of training, he found that most of the classmates around him were handsome men and women, versatile, and he was 175 years old, with a height of 130 pounds, a peculiar appearance, a happy face, a rich expression, and a large group of classmates, who was admitted by the judges as a children's drama actor.
But at that time, at the suggestion of his parents, he also applied for the police academy and successfully passed the exam.
Is it a cop or an actor? In the description, he firmly believes that he has a bright future when he enters the Chinese opera and becomes a big star. He proudly told his mother that he could even get a job. If he was standing at the opera door.
The boy did not know his ignorance. The naïve, but harsh reality soon punched in the face.
02
In 2006, Qiao Shan graduated.
He wanted to graduate, and he could shoot and be popular, so he went to the running group very enthusiastically every day.
But the reality is that his appearance and image are average, and he has no money and no connections. There was no opportunity to shoot, and I lost my job as soon as I graduated.
Without a job, without an income, the vast Beijing, Qiao Shan is difficult to survive.
In desperation, he could only be thick-skinned, dialed his mother's phone, hesitated and said: "Mom, lend me 2200 yuan." ”
The 2200 yuan was quickly remitted, which was the lowest fee he accurately calculated. The living conditions at that time.
After asking his family for money to survive the existential crisis, he felt ashamed and decided to temporarily abandon his ideals and face the reality of life.
He stopped to produce the running group, but seized every opportunity to make money.
Friends dragged him to a rural-themed show where he gleefully participated in the "Spark Project" series of performances.
But even for this kind of non-TV performance, he got up at 5 o'clock every morning to take the first subway from tongzhou, dozed off until 4 o'clock In dong, then stumbled into Shijingshan, and finally took a bus to the surrounding villages.
At each performance, he performed a skit, then three songs, and finally a dance, and six other people contracted a party.
The audience was sometimes a dozen people, sometimes just a few people, sometimes just "two", a child and a goose.
After tossing and turning all day, I returned to Tongzhou at ten o'clock in the evening, and my income for a day was only a pitiful 80 yuan.
In Beijing, this little money minus rent is really barely enough to make ends meet.
Therefore, in addition to performing in the countryside, Qiao Shan also took over the drama in the city, most of which were children's dramas.
With these two performances, he barely managed to gain a foothold in Beijing. Two years later, he still feels unwilling!
He also wanted to make TV.
So he wanted to ask a few seniors to show him the way and take him away, but in the adult world, who is not running around for a living, who is so kind?
Of course, Qiao Shan, who had been working outside for two years, also knew, so he gritted his teeth and took out his only savings, planning to invite a few brothers to dinner.
I didn't expect my brother to bring his friends to dinner by himself. There were more than ten people at a table.
Josan touched her purse, a little apprehensive.
After three rounds of drinking after the meal, Qiao Shan raised the topic and respectfully asked everyone how to get on the show.
As the saying goes, "Eat people with short mouths".
But instead of saying a word of encouragement, these brothers all advised Qiao Shan: Hurry up and change careers. You can't mix your looks.
This made Josan a little chilly, but because of her face, she couldn't get angry, so she finished eating.
After many years, Qiao Shan still remembered this humble and helpless experience. Later, he talked about it on the show, saying grievously: "Are they still drinking my wine?" How can you say that? I. ”
Fortunately, not all of Qiao Shan's seniors were so mean.
In 2010, he had a younger brother working on the sitcom "The Laughing Room", and he was short of people.
He thought Joe Hill had a lot of stage experience, so he asked him if he would like to join.
Finally had the opportunity to go on TV, and Qiao Shan agreed without saying a word.
In this show, Qiao Shan made a lot of efforts, and even slept directly in the company.
As a result, he quickly became one of the mainstays of the laughter room and accumulated many fans.
I thought that career success had just begun, who knew that the good times would not last long!
As the show grew popular, the producers got carried away and parted ways with new actors dividing into two groups, allowing them to compete with each other, calling them "dog bones."
This made the originally naïve Qiao Shan angry and decided to leave "Love to Laugh".
After leaving, Qiao Shan fell into poverty again. He had insomnia at night and locked himself in his room during the day.
I remember being busy and doing nothing; I remember the rhetoric and the miserable status quo.
He felt that his future was very bleak and did not want to drag the people around him anymore. After breaking up with his girlfriend, he ate a cup of two pots and wanted to numb himself with alcohol.
The truth is not what people want.
The girlfriend at the door knocked on the door while crying and shouted, "I won't leave you, I won't leave you." ”
03
His girlfriend is called Modan, a musical theater actress.
She came from a poor background, but she was strong, sensible, considerate, gentle, and very fond of Qiao Shan's talent.
To Josan, she was like light.
When Qiao Shan was at his most difficult, MoDan went out at night to set up a stall and support him in acting.
When Qiao Shan became the male number one in the play and wanted to invite Mo Dan to eat hot pot to celebrate, Mo Dan thought that the two wanted to buy a house and was reluctant to go.
Qiao Shan was ridiculed by the so-called master brother, and when he walked down the path by the snowy river, it was Mo Dan who accompanied him and encouraged him: "You must be able to." ”
Asked why Modan thought Qiao Shan was good, she just smiled: "I can't say it, I just think he's good." ”
The day Joe Shan drank was the anniversary of the two of them.
It was supposed to be a day worth celebrating, but Qiao Shan, who had achieved nothing, felt that she could not delay her any longer, so she took the initiative to break up.
Modan was overwhelmed for a moment and could only knock on the door and cry.
In addition to being sad, she sent a message to Dai Jun with a glimmer of hope, asking him to convince her boyfriend.
It turns out that Dai Jun is the host that Qiao Shan met when recording "Love to Laugh". He admired Qiao Shan and considered him a particularly comedic talent and development prospects.
After Dai Jun's tablet loaded all the videos of "Love to Laugh", he frantically recommended them to his star friends around him, and whenever he had the opportunity, he would take Qiao Shan and others to participate in the show together to increase exposure.
When Qiao Shan encountered financial difficulties, he also took the initiative to help him.
MoDan could only send a message to Dai Jun, asking him to persuade Qiao Shan: "He only listens to you, I know he has no choice, he is also sad, I will not leave him." ” .”
Finally, under the comfort and persuasion of Mo Dan and Dai Jun, Qiao Shan came out of the trough.
"The unhardened soul has no depth, and the ocean without storms is a pond".
Soon, the fate of the ordeal Qiao Shan ushered in a major reversal.

A few months later, Qiao Shan received an invitation to the movie "Love Taxi", and the director asked him to play Pan Xiaolong, the protagonist.
This invitation is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow, so that Qiao Shan is once again full of confidence in acting.
A year later, he starred in the web comedy "Diao Si Men 1" as a foot therapy customer. In the following years, he starred in the second, third and fourth films in succession, and accidentally became popular. Stand up.
At the age of 31, he participated in the finals of Oriental Satellite TV's "Happy Comedians", so that more people remember this very happy little fat man.
At the age of 32, he had the honor to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and starred in the sketch "Little Joe" with Xiurui and Lou Yixiao, which became popular all over the country.
At the age of 33, he starred in the movie "Sewing Machine Band" and won the "Most Popular Actor Award" at the 4th China-Australia International Film Festival.
At the age of 34, he participated in the program "Spit Conference". The whole performance is natural and smooth, interactive and performative, and wins the talk king of the show in one fell swoop.
At the age of 35, he appeared again at the Spring Festival Gala, starring in the sketch "Son Is Coming" with Ge You, Cai Ming, Pan Changjiang and so on.
With his career in full swing, Qiao Shan never forgot the people who helped him.
Because he knows that it is the relatives and friends who have always believed in him, who have created the shining self at this moment.
He thanked his girlfriend Modan for her persistence, proposed to her at the age of 31, and now has two baby daughters.
He loves his wife and helps her pick beans while she cooks. After choosing the beans, he moved a small bench and sat in the back to chat with her.
His clever sitting posture and witty rhetoric often made his wife laugh.
Last year, he bought a new house for his in-laws in Shaoxing, and MoDan was very happy, and he was praised on Weibo.
Except for Modan, he thanked all those who helped him.
He went on the talk show "Very Quiet Distance" and burst into tears. He was very happy to thank Dai Jun for his support and help.
The second season of Glee Comedians invited him to come, but he declined because he didn't want to join a similar show.
But when the director of "Legend of Laughter" found him, he did not hesitate to agree, because the director brought him to Oriental Satellite TV for the first time, and he wanted to repay his kindness.

From street vendors to comedians, Josan's story is both inspirational and tender.
His revelation is that although he lives at the bottom of society, he still has hopes and dreams in his heart, and uses struggle to change his situation.
His warmth is reflected in: you give peaches, I give you gifts, always with a grateful heart, heart and love to live.
Yue Yunpeng, a friend of many years, once said: "Qiao Shan, he deserves to be popular." ”
It is true that he is thick on the outside, but also on the inside. Not only is he grateful, but more importantly, he is a versatile and powerful actor.
His unique "Joe humor" should be known to more people. [Hours] [Hours] [Hours]
