In Chinese New Year's Eve 1984, the Spring Festival Gala began to broadcast into the countdown, and suddenly, Chen Peisi said to Zhu Shimao angrily: Lao Mao, why do we have to suffer this crime?
02.
1984 is a year worth remembering for the sketch industry, and the Chinese New Year's Eve Night in 1984 is the night that determines the birth of the industry or the night of continued silence!
Before 1984, the stage of the Spring Festival Gala was only cross-talk, songs, acrobatics, no sketches, and no concept of sketches!
03.
In the Spring Festival Gala in 1983, the first time there was a work similar to a sketch, it was Wang Jingyu's pantomime work "Eat Chicken", what everyone did not expect was that this work was a great success, and also made the director at the time, Huang Yihe, realize the audience's demand for language programs.
Therefore, before the Spring Festival Gala in 1984, Huang Yihe found Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, at first, the brothers were not willing to go, or Huang Yihe insisted repeatedly, three gu Maolu, before agreeing to go. You know, at that time, no one would think that the sketch could succeed, in the face of more than a billion viewers, if it failed, they would not be able to gain a foothold in this circle in the future!

Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao spent half a year pondering a program of "EatIng Noodles", and after the program was formed, everyone had no bottom in their hearts, including director Huang Yihe!
Seeing that it is about to be the time on "Eating Noodles", Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao have huge pressure, not on the Spring Festival Gala, they can freely get their own careers, on the Spring Festival Gala, have the opportunity to become famous overnight, but did not expect that the process is so bumpy, so there is the scene mentioned at the beginning of the article!
After a strong ideological struggle, Huang Yihe said to them with tears: Pace, Lao Mao, no one said that this show could be on, but no one said that it could not be on. I'm the party director, and I can make a decision, on! I am responsible for the problem, but you must remember one thing: when performing, you must follow the review book, and do not add branches and leaves to poke LouZi.
In this way, the first Spring Festival Gala skit "Eating Noodles" was born.
05.
People who have watched "Eat Noodles" know that the lines of this play are not very many, and the director played by Zhu Shimao is a supporting role, and the focus of the whole work is on Chen Peisi and his "no physical performance"!
What everyone did not expect was that eating noodles was on fire, sketches appeared, and since then, there will be sketches every spring night, and the limelight has gradually surpassed crosstalk!
After "Eating Noodles", Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao successively launched many works, such as "Protagonist and Supporting Role", "Wang Ye and the Postman", etc., and later due to copyright problems, they broke up with CCTV and "retired" since then!
Although Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao did not leave too many works on the Spring Evening, only a few short years, their definition of the sketch is still outdated, that is: funny, of course, is not the same as funny!
06.
In contrast, the current Spring Festival Gala, as well as some variety shows, have given the sketch a new "definition", which can be simply summarized as: happy head and sad end!
Comedy begins, sad ends, once considered to be a high-level acting, from happy twist to big bowl entertainment, to Baimei Studio, to Bai Kainan, almost all comedy teams feel that "making the audience cry" is a good work!
Of course, after any field of development to a certain stage, there will be a bottleneck period, for the current artists, they can not reach the funny height of Chen Peisi or Zhao Benshan, they can only "elevate" their own works from other angles, the simplest way is to "educate people", I believe that such a process will not last too long, there will be good comedians "stand out", with super high personal acting skills to change the status quo of the industry, as for who, we still need to observe!
Finally, I hope that the upcoming CCTV Spring Festival evening can appear a few eye-catching works, sketches, really not "happy heads and sad endings"!
