Introduction: Ma Weidu once said in an interview: "Feng Xiaogang's greatest wisdom is to use people who are smarter than himself." And Feng Xiaogang relied on this ability to mix from an ordinary person to a big director in the Beijing circle. Nowadays, it has disappeared in front of the public, and the former "little brother" Feng Xiaogang has long been among the ranks of well-known domestic directors. What is his success?

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > one</h1>
Feng Xiaogang was born in Beijing in 1958 to a university teacher, a doctor to his mother, and an older sister. Because his father was devolved in his early years, the burden of life fell on his mother's shoulders. When he was a child, Feng Xiaogang often followed behind other people's butts, and when the children in the compound were happy, they would call him brothers and brothers, and even yelled and scolded when they were unhappy.
At the age of seven, the father resolutely left them, and the originally happy family of four gradually became difficult because of the parents' divorce. In Feng Xiaogang's childhood memories, there are only his mother and sister, who are often bullied and have a very difficult life. Feng Xiaogang lacked fatherly love since he was a child, resulting in some sensitivity in his personality, often crying and crying because of a small matter, and his sister and mother were always very worried about him.
Feng Xiaogang in middle school once said: "If one day, I have money, I want to eat tomatoes all year round, chocolate all year round, and dried sweet potatoes." It can be seen that Feng Xiaogang's juvenile period was not easy.
In the dormitory area of Xinhua Printing Factory in the north of Chegongzhuang Avenue, Feng Xiaogang grew up here. Feng Xiaogang is an uncompromising "Beijing film", beijing humor has created his success in the film, and now the old house in the north of Chegongzhuang Street has been demolished and a new building has been built. The old neighbors who lived here together all remember the naughty hairy boy Feng Xiaogang.

First of all, a character who has parted ways with Feng Xiaogang several times - Wang Shuo.
Wang Shuo was born in a military compound, and the parents of that generation believed in "filial piety under the stick", and the requirements for the children were "to become a good person, to become a useful person". At the age of one and a half, Wang Shuo was sent to a nursery, and the rare tenderness he felt when he was a child also came from a nurseryman.
Once, he had a high fever of 40 degrees, the doctor said it was acute appendicitis and needed surgery, and the doctor called to inform his parents. At this moment, as a doctor's mother, she is still sticking to her post and taking care of her patients. At this moment, Wang Shuo needs his mother's company, but he does not, in his mother's eyes, work is greater than the sky. Although her mother still came later, she had obviously missed the time that Wang Shuo needed her most.
Wang Shuo's parents are "workaholics" who regard work as everything and rightfully ignore their children. As an adult, his parents arranged a way out for him - selling medicine. Wang Shuo, whose sales performance is always sluggish, proposed his resignation in a huff, turned his head and opened a hotel, and he did not want to open a hotel himself, he directly gave up and wrote the novel he loved since he was a child.
Beginning in 1983, Wang Shuo became a professional writer. Their story begins.

Wang Shuo's background
Although Wang Shuo is not a big courtyard disciple of "Root Zheng Miao Hong", he has always had a slight "contemptuous intention" for the new youth (Feng Xiaogang) who is "outside the courtyard", and in his bones, he can't look at Feng Xiaogang's kind of "hutong string", while Wang Shuo is Feng Pants's "dream man", the male number one in the courtyard feelings.
As mentioned earlier, in the early eighties, Wang Shuo was assigned to a pharmaceutical company as a salesman after changing careers, saying that he was selling drugs, in fact, in addition to the "angry cat" and "lark" everything was sold, the manager said that as long as you eat not bad people, you will sell for your life!
Barely working for a few days, not a penny was fished, but was deducted a "speculative upside down" hat, Wang Shuo scolded and grinned and offered to resign. He can't do it in this system! He had to chase his own inner freedom!
Some people can't live without the system for a lifetime, and some people, once they leave, don't want to go back for a lifetime. In 1986, it was Wang Shuo's watershed, the publication of "Half Seawater, Half Flame" made Wang Shuo really famous, but also caused a lot of controversy, praise and scolding struck together, Wang Shuo was completely famous, Feng Xiaogang and Wang Shuo their lives intersected here.
At this time, Feng Xiaogang went to the Beijing Military Region Cultural and Labor Corps to do art work, retired from the army and assigned to the Beijing Urban Construction Company to do cultural propaganda work, Feng Xiaogang has no family background, no prominent wealth, can only do his work as a treasure and do it steadily. Wang Shuo is different, the wealth of the family from childhood has brought him a full sense of security, so whenever the work is not smooth, he will resign full of confidence to find another way out.
Feng Xiaogang fei lao vigorously mixed into the literary troupe, in order to be close to Wang Shuo's children of the courtyard, he was too envious of Wang Shuo, who could wear the most fashionable flared pants and look at the beautiful girl every day. However, a low-level figure like him was doomed to not have a common language with Wang Shuo.
Fortunately, Feng Xiaogang is still able to bend and stretch, he saw that Wang Shuo began to write novels, he memorized all the novels, just when Zheng Xiaolong, a senior in the literary troupe, knew Wang Shuo, he begged Zheng Xiaolong to help himself lead the way, Feng Xiaogang saw Wang Shuo, he began to recite novels to him, Wang Shuo liked this feeling of being held, Feng Xiaogang finally got his wish and became Wang Shuo's little brother.

A twist of fate
In 1991, Zheng Xiaolong and Wang Shuo jointly planned to make a comedy "The Story of the Editorial Department", and Feng Xiaogang was still an artist. Wang Shuo is the editor-in-chief, Ma Weidu, Zheng Xiaolong are all involved in the writing, but when the shooting began, the script could not be found, which was sad for the director Zhao Baogang, and it was not realistic to write it again, and it was impossible to shoot without a script.
Just when the director was in a hurry, Feng Xiaogang volunteered that he could repeat the script. The people in the crew were reluctant to use him, after all, he was only a small artist, and Wang Shuo supported Feng Xiaogang to let him try. Finally, Feng Xiao just got this opportunity, Wang Shuo wrote a part, Feng Xiaogang wrote a part, and after Feng Xiaogang finished writing, he found that it was the same as Wang Shuo's style, and some were even more wonderful than Wang Shuo's writing.
In this way, "The Story of the Editorial Department" began shooting smoothly, and the dramatic thing is that the script was later found, and the play also wrote Feng Xiaogang's name. As soon as "The Story of the Editorial Department" was released, it was a big fire, and Feng Xiaogang also became a choreographer from an artist to a choreographer, and began to be famous.

In 1997, just as Wang Shuo was in distress and had no choice but to go to the United States, before leaving, he said to Feng Xiaogang: "I can shoot my works if you want, but don't sign my name, so that they will not be banned."
So half a year later, the movie "Party A and Party B", adapted from Wang Shuo's novel "You Are Not a Layman", was released, and Feng Xiaogang obediently did not sign Wang Shuo's name. As soon as the movie was released, the word of mouth was excellent, and the box office reached more than 36 million, becoming a benchmark for The Comedy of the New Year.
After Wang Shuo returned to China, it was also the time when he was most depressed, Feng Xiaogang took 50,000 yuan to give him a manuscript fee. As a result, Wang Shuo did not accept it and threw away 50,000 yuan. Did Wang Shuo not accept this money because he felt that the money was small? No, it's just that the two people's creative concepts are different, and as the saying goes, different is not a conspiracy.
Wang Shuo once said of Feng Xiaogang: "Feng Xiaogang is a director who caters to the public, and sometimes I will ask him not to catch up with the fashion, and not to go too far to the public's favor!" In 1997, after "Party A and Party B" caught fire, there were rumors that the two were estranged because of the "unsigned" incident and no longer cooperated. In fact, the relationship between the two has not actually weakened, why, and then look at it.

When Feng Xiaogang filmed "No Thief in the World", the script was changed many times, and how it could not pass the review, which made Feng Xiaogang sad. He had to call the screenwriter Wang Gang: Your plot does not conform to the logical thinking of modern people! How? Wang Gang racked his brains to compile a script, but before he could wake up, he had to ask Feng Xiaogang in turn: Why do you say it?
After all, Feng Xiaogang is also a screenwriter, and his mind is hot: how about Silly Root and Liu Reuying fall in love? Wang Gang almost puffed out a mouthful of water when he heard it: You really think, where is this? Absolutely not! Completely against the will of the script, why did you let that male thief fall in love?
Feng Xiaogang had to find the big writer Liu Zhenyun again, and Liu Zhenyun still failed to pass the review after changing it. The reason given by the film bureau is simple: there is no precedent for the thief to be the protagonist, what is the motive of the thief to do good? Does not conform to the status quo.
During that time, Feng Xiaogang was like ants on the hot nest, anxious to turn around, eating badly and sleeping badly. This time Feng Xiaogang had to ask Wang Shuo, he came to Wang Shuo's house with a thick face, and the good brother who had never talked about anything suddenly felt so embarrassed at that moment.
After Wang Shuo listened to Feng Xiaogang's request, he scanned the script and spat out a few words: so easy, let the female thief get pregnant, and then enter the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, it is OK! Seeing Feng Xiaogang's confused face, he added: People's hearts are good, their lives have been ruined, they hope that the next generation will be beautiful, religious feelings have also been added, and the style has suddenly been raised.
At that moment, Feng Xiaogang was so excited that he almost knelt down to give Wang Shuo three kowtows, and the two former good brothers finally shook hands and made peace at that moment, laughing and vengeful. Wang Shuo's revised script really passed the review at once.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" ></h1>
Feng Xiaogang married his first wife when he had nothing, and it was precisely with the support and help of his wife that he became a director step by step, that is, when Feng Xiaogang's career was just beginning to improve, he met Xu Fan, who was in his youth at that time. After meeting Xu Fan, Feng Xiaogang fell in love at first sight, at that time Xu Fan obviously knew that Feng Xiaogang had been married, but still chose to be with Feng Xiaogang, the two fell in love for seven years, the original match was completely dead hearted, and Feng Xiaogang divorced, and after marrying Xu Fan, Feng Xiaogang's career rose step by step and became a well-known director in China.
In 2009, Feng Xiaogang was exposed to have spent 8 hours with a mysterious woman and left together. After the media exposure, everyone found that this woman was Shen Xing. After this matter was exposed, the entire entertainment industry exploded. And Xu Fan's response is even more intriguing, "Unity comes, and disapproval will disperse, that's what happens." ”
After staying at the door overnight, after the exposure, Shen Xing, in order to be with Feng Xiaogang, did not hesitate to divorce the rich husband, forcing Feng Xiaogang to divorce to marry himself. Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan also separated, when everyone was waiting to see a good play. As a result, Xu Fan showed great generosity, and if he chose to divorce, it would be to give Feng Xiaogang to someone.
However, Xu Fan adopted a policy of Huairou, pulled Feng Xiaogang back and said good things for Feng Xiaogang, so Feng Xiaogang returned to Xu Fan's embrace. In fact, when Xu Fan and Feng Xiaogang were in love, Feng Xiaogang was not divorced, and Xu Fan was a small third. Feng Xiaogang's ex-wife learned of Feng Xiaogang's love affair with Xu Fan, did not cry or make trouble, and resigned herself to it, and dragged Xu Fan for six years.

From the movies "Not Seen and Not Scattered", "Endless", "A Sigh", "Big Names", "Mobile Phones", "No Thieves in the World", "Assembling Number", "Tangshan Earthquake" have repeatedly won the top box office of movies, Feng Xiaogang has become a well-known big guy in the Beijing circle.
In those years, in the directing industry, Feng Xiaogang was definitely a big name, and even he felt the taste of "lonely and defeated". Unfortunately, Feng Xiaogang's film has been difficult to produce a classic film of "Feng's comedy" in recent years, and he changed the low-key style of his early years, and the "dog temper" was even pulled out, and passers-by were ridiculed.
"I want to smoke you, believe it or not!"
"What are you?"
"There are so many junk movies in China because there are a lot of junk audiences."
Some people say that Feng Xiaogang has achieved fame and fame, and people have drifted; others say that Feng Xiaogang's films have no cultural heritage and cannot withstand the test of time. But I have to admit that in the history of film, Feng Xiaogang has contributed a lot of good movies, and in recent years, "Old Cannon", "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", "Fanghua" and so on are worth watching.
Xin Er felt that Feng Xiaogang's "wind talk" had that capital, but the audience was no longer willing to buy his "bad words".
Originally a drama against life, but he rewrote the ending himself in the middle, I don't know, when the 63-year-old dreams back in the middle of the night, will he regret the "wild talk" he said in those years?
Ending: Feng Xiaogang is very good at seeing people talking, seeing ghosts talking about ghosts, praising people to be very willing to give themselves, his logic is that I just exaggerated people, and he can't be anxious with me. When you praise, you do everything. Some people say that this is all the survival wisdom of the little people in Beijing, who protect themselves in the harsh social environment, and at the same time can eat openly, which sounds very sad, but why is Feng Xiaogang not killing a bloody road?
