In 1989, Niu Herd and Feng Gong collaborated for the first time on the Spring Evening and performed the cross-talk "Birthday Wishes". Since then, the "door" of the Spring Festival Gala has been opened.
However, a well-known Spring Festival Gala cross-talk actor did not cherish his "iron rice bowl", repeatedly "left" his partner, one will go to photography, one will go to run a magazine, and even go to Mengcheng, Anhui Province, as a county magistrate for five years.
The cattle that have tossed around for most of their lives not only lost their wealth, but also caused the family to break up.
As a "restless" cross-talk artist, his cross-talk is funny enough, and his life is even more ups and downs.
Originally famous, it was precisely because of his five-year career as a county magistrate in Mengcheng that he was criticized by everyone and his reputation was damaged.
As the "funny responsibility" of the Spring Festival Gala for many years, he is now in his 70s without the influence of the past, and it is difficult for him and Feng Gong to combine the "golden partner".
In 1949, the cattle herd was born in Tianjin, the hometown of quyi.
Born with its own artistic cells, the herd likes to listen to cross-talk and watch operas since childhood. When the excitement comes, you can hum twice.
After graduating from high school, the cattle met their own life enlightenment mentor, Mr. Ju Lao. Before becoming Mr. Old's student, the cattle were Mr. Old Man's fans.
However, this fate did not last long, and in 1970, the cattle went to the army to become a signal soldier, which was also an important node in his life.
Soon after the cattle joined the army, the regiment organized a performance competition. The cattle actively participated in the registration, a Tianjin Allegro song won fierce applause and cheers, and the cattle also stood out among the crowd.
Since then, the cattle have become the reds in the troupe, and as long as there is a theatrical performance, he will be present.
In this way, the cattle performed all the way from the regiment to the military region, and were recruited into the comrades-in-arms literary and industrial troupe, specializing in the creation and performance of cross-talk.
Unexpectedly, his first performance went wrong. At that time, the members of the entire literary troupe went to see his performance, and he was afraid to take the stage in the face of such a big battle.
He stood on the stage shivering, his mind blank and his mouth stumbling. Later, he didn't know how to get off the stage.
After the end, he heard the audience's discussion: "At this level, how is it favored by the leaders!" ”
These words stung the cattle deeply, and he ran back to his dormitory, crying under the covers.
After crying, he found the master liu xuezhi in the regiment, hoping to learn from him. Liu Xuezhi was really the Bole of the cattle, and it didn't take long to discover his talent.
Take a very hot sentence in the show business circle now: "Grandmaster appreciates rice and eats." ”
In the process of learning from Liu Xuezhi, he developed feelings with his daughter and became Liu Xuezhi's son-in-law.
In addition to teaching him all he had learned, Liu Xuezhi also recommended him a nobleman, the cross-talk master- Chang Baohua.
In this way, the cattle had a mentor in the cross-talk industry, which laid the foundation for his future cross-talk career and also met his partner, Feng Gong.
In the spring evening of 1988, Niu Qun and Li Lishan performed the cross-talk "Qiao Li Mingmu", which became a blockbuster and became a household name for cross-talk actors.
It was in this year that Niu Qun met Feng Gong when filming the TV series "The Five", and he was also the golden partner and friend of his cross-talk career, and since then he has started a ten-year career as a partner.
The two of them were quite tacit at the beginning of the cooperation, and they created a high yield of 8 cross-talks a year. For example, the fast and hot mouth of "Tomorrow Will Be Better" and "Godson Have a Party" are their masterpieces.
At that time, the most popular variety show "Variety Show", they almost did not fall.
Since then, the two have appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala many times and performed a series of classic cross-talk, such as "Divorce Contract", "The Best of the Asian Games" and so on.
After becoming famous, it is reasonable to say that you should hit the iron while it is hot and develop your career well. But the cattle did not follow this path.
He left his partner behind and first went to Peking University for two years of further study, then played photography and held an art exhibition at the China Academy of Art.
Later, the cattle opened their own Celebrity magazine. However, the cattle that did not know how to operate soon failed, and they also owed hundreds of thousands of debts.
There was no way, the cattle had to find Feng Gong again and beg him to let him return to the stage.
For the two abandonments of his partner, Feng Gong was very tolerant. It's all up to him, anyway, he can't achieve it and come back to continue to talk crosstalk.
And what completely separated the two was the third time the cattle left!
At the Spring Festival Gala of 2000, the cattle came to help Feng Gong string a field and left. Just when the audience was stunned, Guo Donglin walked up.
It turned out that a township enterprise in Mengcheng County, Anhui Province, saw the celebrity effect of the cattle herd, so it invited him to serve as the image spokesperson for beef, and the enthusiastic cattle gladly agreed.
The herd of cattle who was the brand spokesperson for the first time suddenly made a name for the company, and the sales volume soared for a time, bringing huge benefits to the company.
The local government department also saw the influence of the cattle herd, so they hired him as an honorary county magistrate to better help develop Mengcheng.
The cattle herd, who had become the county magistrate, became serious and determined to do something practical for Mengcheng.
However, the cattle's successive "abandonment" of their partners caused the dissatisfaction of Feng Gong's master Ma Ji, who criticized him for "not doing the right thing". Even the cow's wife advised him to talk to each other and not to make a mess.
Hou Yaohua also ridiculed the cattle for suffering from "cow madness", which was not lightly ill.
However, Master Ma Sanli was still supportive of him, and no matter what, the appointment of the cattle was a good thing for the people of Mengcheng.
On the first day of arrival in Mengcheng, the cattle were warmly welcomed by the local people, and Mengcheng was known as "China's first cattle breeding county".
After taking office, the cattle used their popularity to enrich the cultural industry of Mengcheng, and also attracted 200 million yuan of investment for Mengcheng to establish the cattle trade city.
During his tenure, the cattle made significant contributions to the development of Mengcheng. But it is precisely because of his enthusiasm that he "did bad things with good intentions".
It turned out that the cattle found that the conditions of the school for the deaf and dumb were very difficult during a survey, the classrooms were cracked and looked dangerous, so he had the idea of helping these children.
He also served as the principal of the school, raised 4 million yuan for the school, and built a new school. It also acquired a mineral water company in the name of the school and let them feed themselves.
In order to make the school develop better, the cattle also changed the name of the school to "Herd Special Education School" from public to private school. In order to expand the school building, 600 acres of local land were requisitioned free of charge.
This move has caused a lot of controversy, and many people think that he is collecting money for himself in the name of running a school.
The good guys turned into bad guys overnight, and the overwhelming negative news in the media and newspapers almost discredited the cattle.
He didn't do anything wrong, he wanted to prove his innocence, but he couldn't argue.
To prove his innocence, the 58-year-old herd donated all his possessions.
Later, the higher authorities set up an investigation team to investigate the cattle, which proved that the cattle were innocent.
But he could no longer stay here, and in 2005 he left Mengcheng and stepped down as a county magistrate for five years.
This incident also had a great impact on his family.
During the five years of being the county magistrate in Mengcheng, the cattle herd lived separately from his wife for a long time, and the two originally had a conflict, and later because he donated all his savings, it was difficult for the family to maintain. This eventually caused his wife to divorce him, ending a 25-year marriage, the year he was 58 years old.
Because of the donation, his wife Liu Su also quarreled with the cattle once.
In 2002, the cattle had just returned to their home in Beijing, and just after entering the door, his wife Liu Su questioned the cattle: You donated all of our family, and I and my children will drink the northwest wind later?
Long after the divorce, whenever he mentioned his wife, the cattle still burst into tears, saying that the person he was most sorry for in his life was his wife.
At first, the cattle were able to worship Chang Baohua or benefit from Liu Xuezhi, and after marrying Liu Xuezhi's daughter Liu Su, Liu Su became the virtuous assistant of the cattle.
At that time, the cattle fell in love with photography, or Liu Su spent a month's salary of 600 yuan to buy him a camera.
This was a "huge amount of money" for the two people who were not high salaries at that time.
Later, when the cattle went to Anhui to take up their posts as county magistrates, Liu Su also tried his best to support them. She braved the cold and went door to door to find celebrity inscriptions, and finally there were more than 400 celebrity inscriptions, all of which were credited to Liu Su.
Only when the two divorced, even their son Cow Boy was full of opinions about him, which made the cattle who were more than half a hundred years old feel very unhappy.
To be fair, during the five years that he "became an official," he did not owe the people of Mengcheng, but to his family.
The money was gone, and the family was separated. No way, the cattle still returned to their old business and continued to talk crosstalk.
And the old partner Feng Gong did not blame him for his repeated departures, but instead taught him with his heart: it is not good to talk to each other, and run to be a county official.
The herd also felt that they had been a little reckless before.
In order to help the cattle make a comeback, Feng Gong invited him to participate in his own movie "Don't Take Yourself as an Improper Cadre".
After that, the two also created a new cross-talk "Cheers for You". However, this cross-talk was not selected for the program list of the Spring Festival Gala.
After too long, the cooperation between the two has long lost the tacit understanding and effect at that time, and it has been tried several times in succession.
There was no way, Taili had to change other partners for Feng Gong.
So that year, the cattle did not appear on the stage of cross-talk, and the person who partnered with Feng Gong also became Zhu Jun.
Since the audience did not see the figure of the cattle, the news about "Feng Gong abandoned the cattle" did not go away.
At that time, many people said that Feng Gong was not kind, and the voices of scolding rose and fell. The cattle felt that they were tired of Feng Gong, so they came out to clarify.
He explained: "The two of us did not cooperate not because of Feng Gong, but because of the problem of the work, and there was still a chance to cooperate after that." ”
At this point, the storm slowly subsided.
But the cattle did not fulfill their promises, and he and Feng Gong did not perform together again.
As I grew older, coupled with the emergence of new people in the circle, leaving the herd of cattle that had returned for a long time, my career was somewhat inadequate.
But since the failure of cooperation with Feng Gong, he has never said crosstalk again.
At the 2007 Spring Festival Gala, Niu Herd collaborated with Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan on the sketch "Planning".
His witty and humorous performance in it won a round of applause from the audience, and everyone shouted "That funny herd is back." ”
The skit also won the first prize in the 2007 CCTV "My Favorite Spring Festival Gala Program" in the small category.
It is said that at that time, Zhao Benshan saw that the state of the cattle was not very good, and he thought of finding an opportunity to cooperate with the cattle, so he had the work "Planning".
Despite this, this work did not open a new door for the future career development of the cattle.
But the cattle are inherently idle, and he will do it whether the fire is hot or not.
In 2009, The Herd became the host of Herd Colon.
"Cattle Colon" is a news event that took place in the three northeastern provinces and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region as the first choice, telling the story between ordinary people.
Through the quite personality of the cattle, the twists and turns of the story are restored, giving people inspiration and insight.
In 2013, The herd also participated in "China Star Jump", when he was 64 years old, completely different from other stars, and everyone was worried that his body advised him to hang around. However, the cattle waved a big hand, "It's okay, I'm old and strong."
As a result, when the cattle jumped off the diving board, they fainted in the pool, and after being rescued ashore, the cattle kept gasping for breath.
Watching him take risks in pursuit of the show's effects, fans couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.
At this time, the cattle felt that they were really old and could no longer toss and turn.
After 2015, the cattle almost disappeared from everyone's sight, no matter what film and television dramas, stage performances, etc., can not see his figure, even his strong cross-talk, can no longer see the name of the cattle.
Just when everyone thought he was going to retire, they didn't expect him to be active in front of the screen again. This momentum of not accepting defeat is really full of infinite possibilities!
This year, at the age of 72, he actually participated in a movie "Saihan Dam". It's just that this movie hasn't been released yet, so we can look forward to it first.
Some people say that the cattle just love to toss, and their great future is "tossed" away, look at the partner Feng Gong, how stable!
Perhaps compared to the public, the cattle herd has not achieved the same "success" as Feng Gong. But there are many kinds of success in life, far from being explained by popularity and wealth.
"Life is in movement, life is in tossing."
Each person's experience is unique, compared to Feng Gong's "success", the life experience of the cattle is more exciting and meaningful.
When the cattle and Feng Gong were very hot, I was not very old, and I had a deeper impression of Feng Gong at that time. Perhaps at that time, the cattle happened to be the county magistrate.
But whenever the old man in the family mentioned the person of the herd, they all said this: The herd is OKAY.
Such a simple sentence, it seems that nothing is said, but in fact it has been said very clearly.
