In 1990, the 23-year-old Zhou Libo met the 29-year-old Zhang Jie, and the two loved each other to death and rushed to get married, but they were opposed by Zhang Jie's parents.
On this day, Zhang Jie's father talked to Zhou Libo, but the words were not speculative, and the two quarreled.
The young and vigorous Zhou Libo did not control himself, and actually raised his fist to the eyes of his future father-in-law.
This punch is not light, directly causing the retina of one eye to fall off, leaving permanent damage.
Zhang Jie's father was also angry and took his future son-in-law to court.
Zhou Libo spent 205 days in prison, and he had just gained a foothold on the stage, and all of a sudden he was gone.
After being released from prison, Zhou Libo went into business, sold houses for sales, opened a company, and was busy in a circle, but still gained very little, until guan Dongtian, a famous actor in Peking Opera, reached out to help and pulled Zhou Libo back to the stage, and then there was the later "Haipai Qingkou" and "Southern Zhou Beiguo".
Zhou Libo once said sincerely: "Guan Dongtian is my eldest brother, and I will always be his little brother."
"My second spring in art was given to me by you, so I give you a reason to hurt me, a reason to hurt me for a lifetime."
However, Zhou Libo still hurt Guan Dongtian, and the younger brother eventually betrayed the eldest brother.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" >, young and famous but arrogant</h1>
Many people's biggest impression of Zhou Libo should be a "crazy" word.
Born in Shanghai, Zhou Libo had a good family when he was a child, his father was a gymnastics coach, his mother was an assistant to his father, and he had an older sister on top.
Zhou Libo, as a younger brother, has been pampered since childhood, often showing off to people, my family has photos of 140 years ago, toilet toilet, coffee, Eat Western-style pastries.
Usually, Zhou Libo did not break into trouble, went to the house to uncover the tiles, went down to the river to touch the fish, used a razor to cut his father's expensive leather shoes, fed the chickens of the neighbors and grandmothers to eat rubber bands, and even made an appointment with a partner, and ran away from home with the sword.
There was such a naughty bag in the family, the parents could break their hearts, and the mother had been frightened by his pretending to bleed.
Of course, Zhou Libo is not useless, naughty is naughty, and there are still smart and energetic.
When he was 15 years old, he went to the Shanghai Burlesque Troupe for an interview, and the chief examiner was Yan Shunkai, who asked Zhou Libo to use a word to describe the color TV set, and Zhou Libo ghostly made the god send a "black and white distinction".
Yan Shunkai and the other examiners were puzzled and asked why, Zhou Libo moved and said, "I'm playing black and white films." ”
Yan Shunkai was amused, and although Zhou Libo's performance was very blunt, he still insisted on keeping him.
At that time, there were 2800 interviews, and only 16 were accepted in the end, and Zhou Libo was exactly one of these sixteen.
Reality proves that Yan Shunkai did not look at the wrong person, after the teaching of the teachers in the regiment, Zhou Libo's cleverness was finally used in the right place, officially took the stage at the age of 18, and won the title of "Shanghai Little Funny" in 19 years.
Zhou Libo, who was in the middle of the day, attracted the attention of many people, and Guan Dongtian came to him at this time.
In 1987, at the first meeting, Guan Dongtian praised Zhou Libo: "You are a very talented actor, you can turn your opinions into a very natural comedic element, you will be able to succeed in the future." ”
A sentence of "it will definitely be achieved in the future" made Zhou Libo smile happily, feeling that he had met a confidant, although the difference between the two was 11 years old, he still became a good friend.
However, the two did not think of creating "Haipai Qingkou" at the beginning, and there were many twists and turns in the middle.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="89" > 13 years after leaving the stage</h1>
1990 should be the saddest year for the brothers.
Zhou Libo went in because he injured his father-in-law, and his career was stagnant for a while, and after 1993, he left the stage.
Guan Dongtian also suffered misfortune, in a performance, accidentally sprained the cervical spine, forced to leave the stage, in order to live, with his wife to do dubbing work.
Although the situation is different, but the results are the same, temporarily can not be on the stage, the two feel sorry for each other, in a difficult situation, but the friendship warmed up.
At that time, Guan Dongtian was busy dubbing, incidentally doing some small business, and Zhou Libo was busy doing business and opening a company.
Sometimes when he was tired from work, Zhou Libo would come to Guan Dongtian's home, as if in his own home, sit on the sofa, eat a bowl of rice, and then lie back and pass out, at this time Guan Dongtian brought a blanket to cover him.
When they are not sleeping, the two watch ball games, play cards, drink together, and have a hard but happy life.
Because of the close contact, some people even suspect that the two are broken backs.
Although it is not credible, it is enough to show that the brotherhood at that time was sincere and profound.
In 1999, Guan Dongtian came to run, seized the opportunity of Manchester United's Asian Tour, contacted Shenhua Football Club, and moved the venue to Shanghai, which grossed 7.9 million yuan, and he made a lot of money from it.
And Zhou Libo's side, because of the previous guarantee to a friend, the other party ran away, carrying tens of millions of huge debts for no reason.
Where Zhou Libo can afford it, even if he really has money, he will not pay it back.
Guan Dongtian suggested that Zhou Libo go to his hometown of Wuhan to avoid the limelight, and also let his wife send Zhou Libo to the car, contact acquaintances to pick him up at the station, rent him a house to buy furniture, introduce friends to know, from beginning to end, cook properly, it is almost like treating relatives.
Zhou Libo continued to look for a job in Wuhan, planned in a real estate company, and was busy all day, and could not make a lot of money, which made Zhou Libo a little discouraged.
But fortunately, the friends who ran away before earned money and repaid the debt, and Zhou Libo was able to regain his freedom.
Guan Dongtian has always thought that Zhou Libo is talented, and when the planner is subjugated.
Coincidentally, once, he had seen a comedy performance of Hong Kong's "Dong Du Laugh", similar to a talk show, and felt that it was not so difficult, was it not a test of eloquence, it was The field that Zhou Libo was good at.
Therefore, Guan Dongtian called to persuade Zhou Libo to return to Shanghai quickly, and I can help you get back on the stage.
At first, Zhou Libo was half-convinced and refused to come back, but Guan Dongtian tried every means and persuaded him bitterly, and finally pulled him back.
Zhou Libo, who was sitting on the train, may not have imagined that when he returned this time, he would usher in the second spring of his career.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="90" > three, from intimate cooperation to breakup</h1>
With the efforts of Zhou Libo and Guan Dongtian, "Haipai Qingkou" appeared on the stage.
In 2006, Zhou Libo, who had been running around for 13 years, finally waited for a comeback.
The audience saw Zhou Libo talking with eyebrows flying on the stage, but they couldn't see Guan Dongtian's hard work behind the scenes.
In the beginning, in order to attract investment, Guan Dong spent all day drinking with guests, sometimes directly drying three cups in a row, and came back with a bout of vomiting.
After pulling the investment, Guan Dongtian did not stop to do publicity.
Although Zhou Libo made a comeback, his reputation and achievements were gone as early as 13 years, and many people bought tickets for Guan Dong's genius, and Guan Dongtian used his reputation to guarantee Zhou Libo.
During the official performance, Guan Dongtian became the general director again, from the stage design, costume props, background music, performance process, he had to look at it again.
At the end, I also had to be a partner for Zhou Libo as a announcer, watch the performance in the background, find out where there was an improvement, and write it down in time, which was really heartbreaking.
Of course, Zhou Libo is also very cooperative with Guan Dongtian, when writing the script, the two discussed one by one, Guan Dongtian nodded this idea to use, no nod had to modify.
When distributing remuneration, it is Zhou Libo who takes the big head, Guan Dongtian takes the small head, often a performance income of hundreds of thousands, Guan Dongtian only takes 25,000.
But fortunately, all the efforts are worth it, "Haipai Qingkou" quickly caught fire, Zhou Libo became popular, after many years, once again red all over the beach.
However, there is no unbroken feast in the world, even if it is an old friend who has known each other for many years.
Although the sign of "Haipai Qingkou" was launched, the relationship between Zhou Libo and Guan Dongtian had undergone subtle changes.
For example, after becoming famous, you can increase the ticket price and increase the number of performances, but Guan Dongtian believes that if you want to fight a protracted war, you can't over-consume the heat, the fare is geometric, the number of shows, and how much the original has to be done.
In addition, he also stipulated that Zhou Libo could not appear on television programs and did not accept commercial advertisements, so as to maintain the uniqueness and mystery of "Haipai Clear Mouth".
Although Guan Dongtian's starting point is correct, some birds are doomed to be unconcealed.
When you don't go out, someone always comes to you. Zhou Libo received invitations to various performances and programs from time to time, and the high remuneration offered by the other party made Zhou Li fluctuate his heart, and he could not care about Guan Dongtian and ran to participate.
Perhaps gaining a sense of accomplishment in other programs, Zhou Libo became more and more confident and wanted to double the number of performances every year, moving from the Lyceum Theatre with more than 700 seats to the Majestic Theatre with more than 1,300 seats.
Although Guan Dongtian did not say much on the surface, he was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.
Later, I heard the news that the two "broke up", and there were various theories about the reason.
Among them, the most said and the easiest to think of is the problem of accounting, many things are only a "money" word after all.
There are rumors that after Zhou Libo abandoned Zhang Jie and married Hu Jie, Hu Jie learned about the account sharing situation and felt that Guan Dongtian's remuneration was too much.
Some media once called Zhou Libo and asked him if the main reason for the breakup between the two was the problem of dividing accounts.
Zhou Libo immediately denied that he was a person who lectured on righteousness, a person who did big things and not a small account, and a person who knew how to be grateful, and returning a person would not just send money to you, but would give it to you in a way that made you comfortable.
After three or four years of cooperation, many things can be judged by everyone, and there is no need for him to say anything more.
At the same time, he also gave a statement, not to talk about money, the contradiction between the two is mostly due to different concepts.
In the later stage of cooperation, Guan Dongtian gave the requirements, Zhou Libo could not do, for example, just said, Zhou Libo wanted to change the theater, Guan Dongtian did not want to, several performances a week, and there are different opinions.
Since the business concept is different and both sides are not happy, why not let it go.
In addition to money and conceptual factors, there is also a subjective statement, some people think that Zhou Libo has done it, his mind has changed, with his nature, how can he always be a "little brother"?
Of course, whether Zhou Libo's true heart is like this, we have no way of knowing, but from his sentence "A bowl of rice ten years ago, you can't always serve abalone shark fin every day", we can see his inner determination.
Guan Dongtian also kept a close eye on the reasons for the rupture, feeling that they were all trivial matters and not worth talking about.
When asked how time can be repeated and whether he will still help Zhou Libo, Guan Dongtian replied: "If time is reversed, I will still help him." ”
"At least I let him go back to the stage, and I gave him a bowl of bubble rice, and it was enough to do both."
But after so many things, is Zhou Libo willing to accept help?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="91" >4</h1>
After separating, although Zhou Libo continued to stay on the stage, he caused a pile of black material.
For example, he was accused by his ex-wife Zhang Jie of all kinds of non-compliance, and he made various controversial remarks, offending many people, and later ran abroad, but he did not know how to restrain, causing a storm.
In recent years, Zhou Libo has lived abroad with his wife, rarely appeared in front of the camera, basically bid farewell to the circle, and it is estimated that he will not come back in the future.
After Guan Dongtian left Zhou Libo, he returned to the Peking Opera stage to do what he liked and live a comfortable life.
Some people say that if Guan Dongtian had stayed by Zhou Libo's side, perhaps Zhou Libo would not have let go of himself so much later.
What does it do to keep a man, but can you keep his heart? Some things may be predestined, and fate has come to an end and cannot be forced.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, cruel but very realistic.
