When Zhao Benshan was at its most beautiful, he may not have been on the Spring Festival Gala stage 21 times, but founded "Benshan Media" with his wife Ma Lijuan, created "Liu Laogen Grand Stage" in various places, and established his own business kingdom.
The disciples of his Zhao family class followed the master to ensure that there was a house and a car. The phrase "As soon as you cross the mountain customs, you will look for Zhao Benshan" has also spread.
Because there are many performances, in order to facilitate travel, zhao Benshan, who is rich and powerful, bought a private jet worth 200 million yuan with a big hand, and made the most of the celebrities.
In the face of external doubts, he responded with a straight face that his money was legally earned, everyone knew that he had money, and even if he pretended to be poor, no one believed it.
In addition to private jets, he also has a big-name luxury car worth 80 million yuan, which is used on important occasions. He later lent the car to his apprentice Ya Egg and Wang Jinlong to make a wedding car when they got married.
Zhao Benshan, who was at his peak, spoke very confidently, he felt that he had managed a group of disciples of the "Zhao Family Class" very well, and once ridiculed Guo Degang's disciples for leaving the "Deyun Society", saying that he had more apprentices than Guo Degang, but none of them had left.
At that time, Guo Degang replied to Zhao Benshan, ah, there is an opportunity. Unexpectedly, many years later, this sentence was "a word into a slur", and Zhao Benshan worried a lot for his apprentices in his later years.
Recently, Zhao Benshan's "disciple grandson" Jiaojiao announced that she had left "Benshan Media". She first publicly "accused" Zhao Benshan on the Internet of harming her ex-husband's investment failure and bankruptcy, and indirectly divorced herself.
Later, he said that Zhao Benshan "suppressed" himself, so that he could not get a good development in Benshan Media, and three years ago he had the heart to leave Benshan Media, claiming that he wanted to become the first person to "work against Zhao Benshan".
According to legend, when Jiaojiao entered the Zhao family class, she successively followed "Zhao Si" Liu Xiaoguang and "Xie Guangkun" Tang Jianjun, and it was rumored on the Internet that these two were her masters, so strictly speaking, she was only a "disciple" of Zhao Benshan. However, before Jiaojiao was praised by Zhao Benshan, she appeared on the Spring Festival Gala and starred in a big movie, and Zhao Benshan also praised her as "a female ugly is a national treasure".
Originally in the Zhao family class once developed very good petite, privately is also a valuable "little rich woman", once revealed that she has 7 suites in the north of Guangzhou, bought 4 private islands.
This time Jiaojiao and her "benefactor" suddenly turned against each other, some netizens exposed that she was not only for money, but because her live broadcast activities on the live broadcast platform "bottomless" caused zhao Benshan's dissatisfaction, Zhao Benshan was afraid that she would affect the reputation of Benshan media, so he "suppressed" her.
In fact, Zhao Benshan's "discipline" of the disciples of the Zhao family class did not only happen to Jiaojiao alone, as the master of the Zhao family class, Zhao Benshan had the "power of life and death" over the disciples, and Zhao Benshan had his own set of ideas on how to manage his disciples early on.
First, Zhao Benshan believes that his success and wealth are accumulated step by step, and the disciples of the Zhao family class change their fate easier than him, but it is easy for a poor person to suddenly become rich and lose himself. Therefore, he was very strict in his management of his disciples, and did not allow his disciples to do things that "discredited" them.
Second, Zhao Benshan believes that in the development of Benshan Media, there cannot be a phenomenon of only one disciple becoming popular, because in this way, the audience will look at him when they come, and he will not look at it when he is not there, which is not conducive to the overall development.
At that time, Xiao Shenyang became popular overnight, and its annual income was as high as 300 million, which exceeded Andy Lau's value.
But Zhao Benshan said that he did not promise to give him much money a year, and only gave Xiao Shenyang 60% of what he deserved.
Zhao Benshan did not continue to praise him, but said that his big stage did not dare to use Xiao Shenyang, because he was afraid that the audience would "rely on" him, and even in the "Country Love" series, he did not reuse Xiao Shenyang.
Now 40-year-old Xiao Shenyang, who has achieved mediocre results in the film and television circle, also revealed in the show that he has given up the sketch stage, which makes people feel sad.
As for several apprentices who have been rumored "scandals" in recent years, such as Cheng Ye, who made "vulgar movies", fat guys who "sold fake drugs", Wang Xiaobao, who "crashed and hit people" because of "wang Changgui", Liu Xiaoguang, "Zhao Si" who "drunk driving", and Meng Ningyu, who was reported by his wife for "cheating in marriage", have all been "punished" by Zhao Benshan to varying degrees, the most intuitive of which is that resources have been reduced.
Zhao Benshan's "Zhao Family Class" is similar to Guo Degang's "Deyun Society", all the disciples are dependent on the master's reputation to survive, the apprentice's skills are taught by the master, the master wants to manage a large group of people, naturally to "reward and punish clearly".
However, today is different from the past. Whether it is Zhao Benshan, Zhao Jiaban or Benshan Media have passed the peak period, with Zhao Benshan retiring behind the scenes, Zhao Jiaban has never had such outstanding apprentices as "Xiao Shenyang" and "Song Xiaobao", Benshan Media has also been "eating old Ben", "Rural Love" series and "Liu Laogen" series are about to "wear away" everyone's feelings.
A group of disciples in the Zhao family class have thrown themselves into the video platform, each relying on their own skills, no longer just following the master to "mix rice and eat", so it is understandable why the petite who claims to be suppressed in the Benshan media dare to openly "oppose" Zhao Benshan, because Zhao Benshan has not given her good resources.
At the end of last year, the 64-year-old Zhao Benshan officially stepped down from all the positions of "Benshan Media" and was no longer a "legal representative" and seemed to have officially begun his "retirement life". However, Zhao Benshan did not hand over the "Benshan Media" to his son and daughter, but an Shoushu, one of the disciples in the Zhao family class, served as the legal representative and manager.
Zhao Benshan's decision is also more rational, after all, his son and daughter are only in their 20s this year, and they are currently engaged in the live broadcasting industry, but their results are mediocre, not to mention the ability to manage a large enterprise. Different from Guo Degang's careful cultivation of his son Guo Qilin, Zhao Benshan is indeed deficient in cultivating future generations.
Every appearance of the 64-year-old Zhao Benshan is through a video released by his disciples, in which he has gray hair and simple clothes, no different from ordinary grandfathers, and is a little more kind than when he was young.
Zhao Benshan, who bought 200 million private jets "arrogantly" that year, is now also exposed by his daughter Ball Ball, and the family now regrets buying this plane, just one night parking fee will be 20,000, almost unable to afford it, the problem is that 50% off can not be sold, can only rent out.
A generation of "king of comedy" Zhao Benshan, red for nearly 30 years, is the memory of a generation, but also can not change the "hero twilight" of the end, but this may not be a bad thing, now not short of money Zhao Benshan, enjoy the old age is absolutely no problem, as for the "stage", there will always be a batch of new people on the scene.
