"I Liu Xiaoguang is not a good person"
This is Liu Xiaoguang's original words.
Speaking of Liu Xiaoguang, I believe that most people are strangers.
But if you mention "Nicholas Zhao IV"
I believe that I will think of the "honest man" with a blue hat, a red vest, and a twitch at the corner of his mouth when he speaks.
What is it that makes the "honest people" in the eyes of the public bluntly say that they are not a good person, and what makes Zhao Benshan praise "not a good person" several times and three times?
01
Liu Xiaoguang was born in the 1970s in an ordinary rural family in Huadian City, Jilin Province, and his living conditions have been very difficult since childhood.
With a hard life, he did not have a very outstanding talent in learning, and when he was a child, his biggest hobby was to twist the song with the village song team.
My mother thought that singing twisted songs and turning between the two people was not a proper job, and it was better to find some labor services to live steadily.
But Liu Xiaoguang did not think so, and the contradiction between mother and son was constantly escalating.
So, at the age of 15, he ran away from home and went to Jilin City to start his new life.
Because he had no culture, he could only work as an auto mechanic in the local garage, and his salary was five yuan a day.
But even if the salary is not high, Liu Xiaoguang insists on spending three yuan a day to go to the local small theater to listen to the two people.
The remaining two dollars barely make ends meet.
Sometimes even if he is very hungry, watching the two people turn can make him forget about hunger.
It was this love and persistence in acting that made him successfully embark on the duo's stage at the age of 25 and began to perform in the local small theater.
He hasn't called his mother in ten years since he ran away from home at the age of 15.
He felt that it was useless to call his mother when he was unable, and when he could earn money, he would call again.
So after he earned 10,000 yuan through the performance of the two people, Liu Xiaoguang called the home phone and handed the 10,000 yuan to his mother.
The mother got the money but did not dare to spend it, she was afraid that her son would cause trouble in the future, and then the money would be reserved for him to use for ordinary purposes.
This has strengthened Liu Xiaoguang's determination to get ahead.
Three years later, a "self-nomination" became the beginning of his "popularity".
In 2006, Zhao Benshan, who has become a famous sketch actor, began to recruit talents in the northeast.
At that time, Liu Xiaoguang was already a well-known local two-person actor, and his friends also joined the Zhao family class.
So through a friend, Liu Xiaoguang asked to get Zhao Benshan's phone.
When he got Zhao Benshan's phone, Liu Xiaoguang did not call him at the first time, and he still had some timidity in his heart.
A few days later, Liu Xiaoguang still made up his mind, drank two or two glasses of wine, and dialed Zhao Benshan's phone with the strength of the wine.
With the momentum of the newborn calf not being afraid of the tiger, he began to "blow" himself to the other end of the phone.
When he learned that Zhao Benshan himself was on the other end of the phone, he hung up the phone in a panic.
This move did not arouse Zhao Benshan's disgust, on the contrary, Zhao Benshan personally called Liu Xiaoguang back and gave him the opportunity to enter the Zhao family class.
In this way, after an incident that seemed to be a "drunken oolong", Liu Xiaoguang became a member of the Zhao family class.
At the beginning of entering the Zhao family class, he participated in the "Liu Laogen Big Stage", playing the role of "Liu Changfu", and in the same year, he participated in "Today's Shengtang", in which he played "Ma Zhuang".
But neither "Liu Changfu", "Ma Zhuang", nor the "deaf old man" in the second year's sketch made him completely popular, and he was at most famous at that time.
But it was here that he met his current wife, Chen Jing.
Liu Xiaoguang has a total of two marriages, Chen Jing is Liu Xiaoguang's second wife, but also an excellent two-person actor.
Chen Jing is seven years younger than Liu Xiaoguang, but she entered the acting industry eight years earlier.
Liu Jing began to learn two-person rotation at the age of 17, and has been performing two-person rotation with her cousin before, after knowing Liu Xiaoguang, the two people fell in love with each other and came together, and since then the two people have performed two-person rotation together.
Chen Jing once said that it was liu Xiaoguang's humor and talent that she was with him.
Obviously, Chen Jing's vision was very accurate.

Liu Xiaoguang's acting skills, Zhao Benshan once commented that "there is great talent.".
For this halfway monk apprentice, Zhao Benshan is also very protective.
In the early days of entering the art troupe, Zhao Benshan found that Liu Xiaoguang was very talented in acting, so he let him play the role of "Zhao Si".
But at the beginning of filming, Liu Xiaoguang did not fully understand Zhao Benshan's decision.
"Zhao Si" in the play is Zhao Yutian's father, daughter-in-law Liu Ying's father-in-law, from the perspective of age, Zhao Si is more than half a hundred years old.
But at that time, Liu Xiaoguang was only in his early 30s.
Such a large age span made him suspicious of his master's decision, and he did not think that he could play the role well.
But at this time, I had to sigh at the poisonousness of Zhao Benshan's vision.
Zhao Benshan has praised Liu Xiaoguang's talent and talent in public more than once, and this time, Zhao Si, played by Liu Xiaoguang, has not lived up to Zhao Benshan's expectations of him.
In "Country Love", Zhao Si's speech is always pumped at a specific moment, but Liu Xiaoguang in reality does not have this problem.
Sometimes despite the lines, the mood is very good, and Liu Xiaoguang, who forgot to suck the corners of his mouth, had to perform it again.
Liu Xiaoguang said that Zhao Si's pumping is not random, it has to be stuck at a specific point, and his paused pumping should add color to this line.
Zhao Si let him play vividly, and Liu Xiaoguang also became completely popular with the role of Zhao Si.
03
Although Zhao Benshan once praised Liu Xiaoguang for having "great talent", he also said such a sentence: he has "big problems".
Many of the actors in Zhao Jiaban are from folk and rural backgrounds, and Liu Xiaoguang is naturally among them.
Zhao Benshan once commented on these actors: "Folk artists are the most difficult to manage in the whole society, just like a bison, and it is a process to pull a cart from the top. ”
Zhao Benshan also put a lot of effort into managing Liu Xiaoguang's "bison".
Due to the lack of culture and education, Liu Xiaoguang is far less smooth in choosing friends than in his acting career.
The friends he made were, in other words, a bunch of "bastards" who followed them in smoking, drinking and gambling, so he didn't develop good habits.
At the beginning of entering the art troupe, Zhao Benshan also found that Liu Xiaoguang not only liked to drink and smoke, but also had the habit of playing Q.
So whenever it comes to paying wages, Liu Xiaoguang's salary can only be taken away after his mother signs it.
In order to prevent him from having money in his pocket, he can't help but play.
But even so, in the following years, Liu Xiaoguang also owed more than 200,000 debts.
Later, in the program he participated in with his master, Liu Xiaoguang confessed:
"In the past, Liu Xiaoguang was not a good person, and I was the one who worried the master the most." My master has always wanted to pull me out of the pile of bad guys, and two years ago I pulled 200,000 yuan (debt), and my master helped me pay it back. In the future, I will definitely not let the master worry about it again. ”
But from now on, Liu Xiaoguang's original promise has not been fully fulfilled.
The lack of innate moral education made him an actor who was morally imperfect.
After a performance, Liu Xiaoguang's female fans added his personal contact information.
After this, Liu Xiaoguang was ambiguous with the fan.
Paper is always unable to contain fire.
In 2017, the famous paparazzi Zhuo Wei on Weibo broke the news that Liu Xiaoguang was "derailed" and "sleeping powder", and this explosive news once again pushed him to the cusp of the storm.
After the news was exposed, the scale of the two people's chat was lamentable.
But the most surprising thing is also mentioned in the breaking news, Liu Xiaoguang lied to deceive female fans to "brush" gifts for him and his son, and promised to pay relevant fees to fans after the fact, but blocked the operation of fans.
During the ambiguous period, all expenses are paid by the woman.
This farce of "cheating money and cheating" also made the public wonder whether Zhao Benshan would reuse this carefully cultivated apprentice.
Therefore, every year, the news that Liu Xiaoguang was kicked out of the Zhao family class will also be broken.
But after this, Liu Xiaoguang did not idle, he was still active on the stage.
From television sets to the big screen, Liu Xiaoguang's figure has appeared in many places.
04
In 2018, due to the influence of the derailment news, Liu Xiaoguang's popularity also declined, and there was very little news about him, and he ushered in a trough period in his career.
At the beginning of 2018, starring Liu Xiaoguang and filmed in 2015, "S4 Man Descending Demons" was finally released in theaters.
Because of the negative news, the response to the film was mediocre.
But these did not stop Liu Xiaoguang from continuing his acting career.
In the summer of 18 years, Liu Xiaoguang performed a roadshow in a local mall, and the summer heat was unbearable, but Liu Xiaoguang performed at the entrance of the mall in the heat.
For a time, many netizens were also lamenting that although Liu Xiaoguang's character was flawed, his love for acting was indeed obvious to all.
Perhaps, it is because of Liu Xiaoguang's excellent acting skills and pursuit of his acting career that Master Zhao Benshan has pity for his disciples.
Or, the core character "Zhao Si" in "Country Love" has no second candidate at all, so Zhao Benshan uses him again.
At the end of May 2020, "Country Love 13" was officially launched, and Liu Neng's actor Wang Xiaoli quit due to illness, but Zhao Si, who "fell in love and killed" with him, was still played by Liu Xiaoguang.
This news also broke the rumors on the Internet that Liu Xiaoguang was expelled from the division.
However, the 17 years of farce did not make him more cautious, and less than half a month after the completion of "Country Love 13", Liu Xiaoguang was on the hot search for "drunk driving" in Wuxi.
Liu Xiaoguang immediately said that he did not know, opened a live broadcast to clarify that there was no drunk driving, and also said that he was in Shenyang that day.
A series of denials as if the matter really wasn't his doing.
But soon, the official report of the Wuxi police hit Liu Xiaoguang and Benshan Media in the face, and Liu Xiaoguang was caught drunk driving and was taken seriously.
Since then, "drunk driving" has added to Liu Xiaoguang's "bad deeds".
And this time the negative news once again affected his movie "Northeast Old Cannon" released in October.
05
In 2021, with the re-broadcast of "Country Love", Liu Xiaoguang's reputation has also rebounded.
In May, Liu Xiaoguang revealed that he would try to direct his debut film "The Homecoming of Laughing and Loving the Rivers and Lakes" with the encouragement of his master Zhao Benshan.
An actor who does not want to be a director is not a good actor, and Liu Xiaoguang also wants to prove himself through this movie.
Although Liu Xiaoguang is not a "good person" in life, his understanding of comedy is similar to that of his fellow disciple "Xiao Shenyang", who does not like the structure of the current comedy sketch "joy and sad end".
What Liu Xiaoguang wants to do is to break such a routine and present more joyful and interesting comedy works to the audience in front of the big screen.
Looking back at Liu Xiaoguang, he is a well-deserved genius on the stage, Nicholas Zhao Si is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and his acting talent is bursting, but I have to say that he is not a morally perfect person.
Zhao Benshan once said: "He is a wild horse, talented, but once he is not tamed well, he will go the wrong way." ”
I also hope that after experiencing these negative twists and turns, Liu Xiaoguang can recognize the mistakes and bring more excellent works to the public.
