The period of surplus and contraction is not only in heaven, but also the blessing of nourishment, and can be eternal. —— Cao Cao of the Han Dynasty, "Turtle Although Shou"
Some time ago, Zhao Benshan's daughter Qiu Qiu posted a picture of a family celebrating her mother's birthday on social accounts, and also shared a group of family photos, but this group photo has triggered heated discussions among many netizens.
The reason for this is that Zhao Benshan in the group photo looks more haggard than before, full of white hair, and there is no trace of emotion. Not only that, Zhao Benshan's eyes were also very sluggish, just like he couldn't open his eyes, and he was even a little unstable when he walked.
Many people are very worried about his body and hope that he can take care of himself. Although Zhao Benshan has rarely appeared on the screen, his legendary life is indeed worth knowing.
Grassroots entertainers, very inspirational
Zhao Benshan is a grassroots artist, but he has been able to appear at the Spring Festival Gala for 19 consecutive years, interpreting the legend of China's sketch industry. His popularity among the Chinese populace is almost no match for him, and he is the king of skits.
In 21 years, he left 20 works, each of which has depth, is very grounded, and the performance is also very interesting, so he has been praised as the Chaplin of the East.
However, he was not only a well-known artist, but also an excellent entrepreneur. During these years, he founded his first company, Shenyang Benshan Art Development Corporation, which, in addition to art, also engaged in architecture, medical treatment and other things.
In the northeast, he is still doing coal business, doing art while doing business, and there is no delay in both. Not only that, he can also see the development prospects of the two people turning industry, and can rent the Shenyang Big Stage located in the bustling area of Shenyang in time and rename it Liu Laogen Big Stage.
For the first time, he proposed a green two-person transfer, becoming the first person to create a two-person transfer industrial chain. In addition, Zhao Benshan recruited a large number of outstanding actors by holding the Benshan Cup Duo Grand Prix.
In the early days, the ticket price of Liu Laogen's big stage was 50 yuan per person, which could be staged in four theaters at the same time, with 400 people per show, and 200 performances a year. In this way, the annual income is nearly 20 million.
But Zhao Benshan was not limited to the immediate success, he continued to invest money to renovate the Liu Laogen grand stage, and the ticket price also rose to 300 yuan. After this, Zhao Benshan established the Liaoning Folk Art Troupe, which is the predecessor of Benshan Media, and began to continuously sign artists, and paid great attention to the cultivation of Zhao Jiaban.
In short, Zhao Benshan's commercial success is no less than his success in the acting industry.
The teacher-disciple relationship is not harmonious
Along the way, Zhao Benshan has never forgotten the hardships and hardships of his youth, so he has helped many people after becoming famous. He often brought his own apprentices with him in his sketches, and many apprentices gradually became popular under his leadership, such as Xiao Shenyang, Song Xiaobao, etc.
Not only that, in order to allow his apprentices to work stably, he launched the "Country Love" series, which undoubtedly gave many apprentices of Zhao Benshan's team a shot of tonic, and this drama was even more popular with Wang Xiaoli, Yu Yuexian and other actors. In addition, the Liu Laogen stage created by Zhao Benshan has also supported many actors who have turned between the two.
It is reasonable to say that the master is so good to the apprentice, the apprentice should be very grateful. However, with the gradual popularity of the apprentices, the annoying things appeared one after another, and the most annoying things belonged to the Xiao Shenyang incident.
In Zhao Benshan's eyes, he felt that from obscurity to overnight wealth, it would change a person's mentality, which was the profound experience he had summed up over the years, so he did not want his apprentice to burst into flames at once.
After the Spring Festival Gala, Xiao Shenyang became a household name. For a time, Xiao Shenyang's performance fees rose from millions to hundreds of thousands, but Zhao Benshan was not happy, in his opinion, on the one hand, the rapid popularity would make Xiao Shenyang swell and affect future development; On the other hand, if it thrives, it will cause huge hidden dangers in the company's operations.
Therefore, in terms of performance and income, Zhao Benshan imposed restrictions on Xiao Shenyang. However, Zhao Benshan's concerns are his own after all, and Xiao Shenyang also has his own ideas.
Immediately afterward, the Internet soon broke out that Xiao Shenyang had privately endorsed Zhao Benshan behind his back and also established a two-person transfer training school. However, Xiao Shenyang was not able to tear his face with Zhao Benshan in the end, but the studio no longer used the name of master.
And Zhao Benshan has never responded to these things, is it Zhao Benshan's stinginess or the apprentice's mistake of using the platform as a capability? It is time for the benevolent to see the wise to see the wise.
2 marriages are controversial
Although in his career, Zhao Benshan can be said to be a very successful, but in terms of marriage, he is controversial and often criticized, perhaps this is the most regrettable side of Zhao Benshan.
Zhao Benshan grew up in the tieling countryside, lonely and lonely, his father and mother died early, his father also ran away from home, he grew up relying on hundreds of meals.
He learned the skill of eating with his blind uncle, which laid a solid foundation for him to start a family in the future. When Zhao Benshan reached the marriageable age, he had not yet found a suitable girl, and the matchmaker in the village enthusiastically helped him introduce it.
It didn't take long for Zhao Benshan to meet Ge Shuzhen from the next village. Ge Shuzhen is very simple, but also willing to follow Zhao Benshan to suffer hardships, the two then held a wedding, the wedding is very simple, even the venue is borrowed, but although the days are bitter, it is still very happy.
Not long after the marriage, he had his first daughter. So the family's expenses were big again, and Zhao Benshan had to go to the county seat to find work. After that, Ge Shuzhen gave birth to a son for Zhao Benshan, which was really a double happiness for him, and the children were complete.
In the next few years, Zhao Benshan met Jiang Kun, a noble man in his life. Under the strong recommendation of Jiang Kun, he relied on his own efforts to board the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, since the emergence of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, suddenly made Zhao Benshan a big red, and his career took off all the way.
Zhao Benshan's work became busier and busier, and the number of times he returned home gradually decreased. There was a gap between him and Ge Shuzhen, and the common language between the two became less and less, which made Zhao Benshan have the idea of divorce.
Although Zhao Benshan had wanted to file for divorce many times, the thought of his wife, having children for himself, and accompanying himself to suffer hardships was easy to bear. However, this relationship could not be maintained, and eventually divorced.
In order to compensate his wife, Zhao Benshan left the house, money and two children to his wife and left the house himself. After the divorce, Ge Shuzhen did not give up on herself, and chose to accept and silently raise these two children.
A year after the divorce, Zhao Benshan met his second wife, Ma Lijuan. After that, the two married in a low-key manner, but after marriage, Zhao Benshan did not leave his ex-wife and his daughter, and he often gave them subsidies for life.
