In 1992, Gao Xiumin quit her job at the Buyeo Civic Art Troupe and took He Qingkui's sketch "Baggage" to Shenzhen to participate in the National Sketch Competition, winning the gold medal in one fell swoop.
After that, Gao Xiumin became famous and was introduced to Zhao Benshan.
Zhao Benshan admired He Qingkui's talent and invited him to write a screenplay for himself.
In 1997, "Red Sorghum Model Team" and "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow", two of Zhao Benshan's early masterpieces, were both written by He Qingkui.
The initial contradiction between Zhao Benshan and Gao Xiumin began with a performance.
Gao Xiumin is a proud and cheerful person, with a grateful heart for her hometown, and she always wants to repay her father and fellow villagers when she goes out from Songyuan.
On the anniversary of the founding of Songyuan, the leader in charge of culture approached Gao Xiumin, hoping that she could participate in the performance and hoping to invite Zhao Benshan through her.
Gao Xiumin agreed, she thought that with her relationship with Zhao Benshan for many years, it was not a problem at all.
The city leader asked Gao Xiumin how much it would cost to ask Zhao Benshan to perform. She said to the city leaders that she symbolically took 200,000 yuan and gave it to Zhao Benshan, and then Zhao Benshan would look at my face, and I would not want it after a few times of humility, and both sides had face.
The city leaders were very happy to hear it, and did not think about that day, Zhao Benshan did not resign, and directly accepted the money.
Gao Xiumin was very embarrassed. After the city leaders left, Gao Xiumin said to Zhao Benshan: "Big brother, you really give me face!" ”
At the Spring Festival Gala of 2000, He Qingkui did not intend to write a sketch for Zhao Benshan.
Near the Spring Festival, Zhao Benshan's screenwriter left, and had to call He Qingkui with a hard scalp.
It just so happened that He Qingkui and Lei Kesheng were driving to eat dog meat, He Qingkui wanted to refuse, and Lei Kesheng advised him: Zhao Benshan called, which was a step and an opportunity for each other, taking the opportunity to reconcile.
Zhao Benshan's phone rang for more than an hour, and the two returned home, Gao Xiumin was furious, but fortunately Lei Kesheng was appeased.
The next day, He Qingkui flew to Zhao Benshan's side, and later there was a sketch "Hourly Worker" cooperated by Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan.
In 2001, the Spring Festival Gala began with "Selling Abduction", "Selling Cars" and "Heart Disease", which has been three years, and the Spring Festival Gala sketches are all cooperation between Zhao Benshan Fan Wei and Gao Xiumin.
In recent years, the sketches have also become classics, and their fame has increased to become a household name, but they have gradually developed contradictions.
When preparing the 2004 Spring Festival Gala sketch "Water Delivery Worker", the CCTV Spring Festival Gala Director Group reported that the sketch would be co-starred by Zhao Benshan, Song Dandan and Fan Wei.
When the row was about to be combined, there was a sudden change of people, and Gao Xiumin replaced Song Dandan, who quit for some reason.
Gao Xiumin responded to this: "I thank Big Brother Benshan for still thinking about me. Originally, I heard that I wanted to use DanDan, but at this time I said let me go, I will do a good job, be a good green leaf, and hold Zhao Benshan well. ”
Although it is a word of thanks, it is also a common sentiment of people to complain inside and out.
At work, Zhao Benshan is a particularly serious person, especially the Spring Festival Gala, and does not allow a little sloppiness.
The most important rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala that time, the leaders were there, but Gao Xiumin arrived before the play, and the rehearsal was not carried out.
In fact, Gao Xiumin arrived at the rehearsal site earlier than Zhao Benshan. Unexpectedly, one of Gao Xiumin's sisters planned a performance, and before the performance, the protagonist did not go, and it seemed that he would have to pay 400,000 yuan, and the sisters asked Gao Xiumin for help. After a day of phone calls, the enthusiastic Gao Xiumin could only rush to Tonghua from the Scene of the Spring Festival Gala overnight, and rushed back to the rehearsal site immediately after saving the scene.
When he returned, in the face of He Qingkui's changed book, he did not rehearse and directly starred.
After the rehearsal, Zhao Benshan began to complain, and Gao Xiumin explained and apologized. Zhao Benshan could not accept that he was not serious about his work, did not stop blaming, and Gao Xiumin, who had a fiery personality and could not tolerate others, said, "I am like this, I can use it, I don't have to pull it down!" ”
The two men quarreled fiercely, and there was no cooperation later.
In the 2005 Spring Festival Gala "Kung Fu", there was no Gao Xiumin's figure.
When "Ma Dashuai" started that year, Zhao Benshan invited He Qingkui to attend the celebration.
He Qingkui, who did not drink alcohol, was forced to drink by Zhao Benshan, and He Qingkui took the opportunity to ask Zhao Benshan to let Gao Xiumin return to the team, and Zhao Benshan agreed to consider it.
On August 18, 2005, Gao Xiumin died of illness, and Zhao Benshan, who learned the news, rushed to He Qingkui's side overnight.
Holding He Qingkui's hand, Zhao Benshan said, "In the future, we will not write, I will raise you old." ”
He Qingkui said that it was enough to have this sentence. Their twenty years of feelings will not end because of a little contradiction, people live in this life is a love word, a true friend is more precious than Jinshan.
He Qingkui later said in an interview: "I know that it was her fault that she was separated, she went out to perform the day before the Spring Festival Gala review, and she didn't even have the words right, almost delayed the review, it was her fault, but I loved her, there was no way, I could only choose to leave with her." ”
He Qingkui also discussed these things with Zhao Benshan, and Zhao Benshan said, "In fact, we have any contradictions, but everyone has a bad temper, and they can't turn around for a while. ”
Until Gao Xiumin's death, the two people did not reconcile, which was also a great regret for Zhao Benshan.
