In 2022, "Youth 3" aired.
Jia Ling pulled Bai Kainan into the crew and told the story of their first Spring Festival Gala in 2010.
Their show "Big Talk" debuted at 12:35 p.m., when most of the audience was not watching TV.
"I told Bai Kainan, I said brother, there are 1.2 billion people in China (when watching the Spring Festival Gala), 1 billion people go to set off firecrackers after the bell rings, and we can still show them to those two hundred million people!"
"On that day, we learned that 1 billion people set off firecrackers, and the remaining 200 million people (watching the Spring Festival Gala) couldn't hear anything!"
But good works are not afraid of time, 27-year-old Jia Ling and 29-year-old Bai Kainan are still on fire.
What are cross-talk actors most afraid of? Jia Ling said:
"It's okay to tell a joke over and over again, and if you say too much, you will doubt yourself and think, 'Oh my God, is this okay?'"
"When all the cross-talk you have saved over the years is recorded, you will not be confident." It's also possible to do new ones out, but more fearful. Afraid that the new things will not be as good as the original, I can't catch myself and smash the signboard..."
"Where the novelty is so easy has always been there, but everyone thinks that those who say crosstalk should say one better than the other, and can't go downhill..."
In the face of difficulties, Jia Ling limited herself to cross-talk for eight years, during which she transformed into a comedy interpretation, and her career gradually flourished.
After the separation, Bai Kainan finally broke the good cards in his hand and lived himself as a "joke".
Now jia ling, who was once an old partner, must be promoted in order to participate in the fiery variety show.
Looking back at Bai Kainan many years later, the moment he made his choice at that time, he was doomed to be "abandoned" by the times...
01 In order to be worthy, he went to learn crosstalk
Someone asked Jia Ling why she didn't lose weight before.
She replied, "Comedians should be funny and not beautiful." Ugly and fat are the characteristics in order to make everyone want to laugh as soon as they see me, I can't lose weight. ”
Jia Ling is the day after the fat bumped out of the unexpected laughter, Bai Kainan is born ugly, it is suitable to become a comedian.
Born in Beijing in 1981, Bai Kainan said that cross-talk is actually a halfway monk.
Surrounded by a family of literary and art workers, Bai Kainan, who can speak the Tao since childhood, studied ballet for 8 years.
In 1997, he walked out of the dance secondary class of the Central Song and Dance Troupe.
He also tried to make a breakthrough in the dance world, but was frequently rejected because of his appearance.
Helplessness can only be played around in the midst of nothingness.
Being a bartender in a bar, being an actor at a wedding scene, and a little better, he can sing in some of the bigger commercial performances.
It was also during this period that he was released with pigeons for a performance, and met Yang Jingru, who helped him with righteousness.
Yang Jingru is a Chongqing girl who worked in the National Song and Dance Troupe after graduating from university.
The 21-year-old Bai Kainan liked Yang Jingru in a little contact, but he was inferior because of his secondary school education.
I heard that Jiang Kun, Feng Gong, and Hou Yaowen set up a cross-talk college class at the Central Academy of Drama and began to enroll students.
Taking the exam with the idea of "one step forward is one step", Bai Kainan successfully enrolled in the school.
Three years of study inspired the lad's comedic talent.
He was favored by Feng Gong and accepted him as a disciple, and he made the same door as Jia Ling.
After graduating in 2004, he confessed his heart to the girl he liked.
Bai Kainan's sincerity and self-motivation impressed Yang Jingru.
Under the blessing of Master, the two entered the palace of marriage, and their careers gradually improved.
02 Drunken people lose better opportunities
In 2009, Bai Kainan and Jia Ling created "Big Talk and Funny".
At that time, the director of a local station took a fancy to this work and wanted to invite them to the local Spring Festival Gala stage.
From the costume, the form to the content of the performance, they are different from traditional cross-talk.
Feng Gong was very optimistic about the disciple's cross-talk change, so he recommended it to the director of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
"I don't want this kind of show, I want to innovate, but I can't be different."
Even with such an answer, Feng Gong was not discouraged.
"Crosstalk is declining, and if it doesn't change, it will be even lower." Young people's preferences are changing, and we must change with them. As long as the center that brings happiness to people remains unchanged, why can't the form change? ”
With the full mediation of Master, in 2010, 27-year-old Jia Ling and 29-year-old Bai Kainan joined the rehearsal team of the Spring Festival Gala program.
The director first set the time for the show at 12:35.
And in the process of rehearsal, there was also a small episode of "I didn't seize the opportunity".
Before the official performance, all the programs of the Spring Festival Gala are rehearsed every other day.
On the day of the sketch synthesis, Jia Ling and Bai Kainan came to the scene.
They didn't know that they didn't have to act on this day, only used the synthetic walking position rehearsal, so they played out all the content.
Conscientiously completing their own work, the two men made all the staff and nearly two hundred dancers laugh.
The scene effect was very good, and Jia Ling received a call from the leader that night.
"Brother, the leader said to adjust our program to 8 o'clock, prime time!"
What a happy thing, but it is extremely sad.
The next day, Jia Ling and Bai Kainan attended an event.
It was the first time they had seen a cocktail, and after tasting it, they felt like a drink and let go of it.
Walking home in circles, rehearsing on the third day, they were a little discouraged when they were not in a state.
Sweet wine and fluttering hearts are broken.
I received another phone call that night.
"You young actors still can't hold back the front field, or transfer back..."
So friends, the wine is intoxicating, but also to grasp the degree.
Some things seem beautiful and charming, be careful to touch, otherwise look at Jia Ling and Bai Kainan.
Sheng Sheng missed an opportunity without the sound of firecrackers, "so that the audience can hear clearly what is being said".
03 The high starting point crooked the rudder
Fortunately, before the official performance, I adjusted my mentality in time, and after the bell rang at 12 o'clock.
Wearing a white shirt and vest, the two men gave "Big Talk and Funny" to the people of the whole country.
At that time, many people got up and left the TV at the hour.
But there are still people who have discovered and liked the young cross-talk actors, saying "new".
Overnight, the two men rose to prominence, and the unknown two ushered in the first highlight of their lives.
How did Jia Ling's 28 years old and Bai Kainan's 30 years old spend? ——Lingering in one commercial performance and program after another.
"The Prince of Cool Crosstalk" and "The Successor of the New Generation of Comedy".
Each of them held their own titles, and their energy was greatly dispersed on the way to expanding their popularity, and the good partners were in trouble.
"It's just fear, can't calm down and think about ideas." How terrible it is to eat the old book, we are not singers, the higher the degree of a song, the happier. We have a high degree of singing, which means that it can no longer be used in the future, and it needs to be added to it. ”
In 2011, he went on CCTV Spring Festival Gala to send "Sesame Open Door".
In 2012, his works were shortlisted for the "Performance Award" and "Literature Award" of the 7th China Quyi Peony Awards.
After that, there was a disagreement between Bai Kainan and Jia Ling on the issue of future development.
Jia Ling wanted to have no regrets, and she insisted on doing comedy.
And Bai Kainan decided to seize the opportunity of "red", and those who came did not refuse, only for fame.
Also in 2012, Hunan Satellite TV launched the variety show "Hundred Changes Big Coffee Show".
As a resident guest, Bai Kainan and Da Zhang Wei collided with the "Ji Face Sea" and "New Year Painting Doll".
I don't know how many people have left a deep memory.
Until now, some people have said that the "Hundred Changes Big Coffee Show" of that year can be called the "ceiling" of domestic imitation variety shows.
And Bai Kainan has become a guest of countless programs.
In "Thank Goodness You're Here" you face the impromptu test of an unknown plot.
Sing the song "Happy Heart" in "Echo Loud".
Participated in "Go All Out" with South Korean super popular group EXO-M, Olympic champion Li Xiaopeng and others.
Go to "Every Day Upward" to interact with Wang Han and Ou Di funny; Join the outdoor life reality show "This is Life"...
In the fame and increasingly high appearance fees, Bai Kainan lost himself.
He not only made quick money on various variety shows, but also began to cross borders and wanted to share a piece of the film and television circle.
Everyone knows that actors make more money and come quickly.
But if the actor wants to achieve these two points, he must either have a very high appearance and fame as a backplane.
Or have superb acting skills to make a foundation for themselves.
Bai Kainan did not have these two things, although the actors he partnered with were not small, but the film was not hot.
Collaborated with Jiang Chao, Pan Changjiang and Pan Yang on "Blind Love".
Starred with Zhang Xinyu, Qiao Renliang and Ren Dahua in "Magic Card Action".
Partnering with Yuan Shanshan, Jia Nailiang, and Gao Shuguang in "Family with Happy Women"...
From movies to TV series.
Slightly superficial acting, no depth of the role, as if the task is completed as if shooting.
The audience's good feelings for Bai Kainan probably started to be defeated a little bit from here.
Gradually, his resources became less and less.
Don't be after the suspension of the "Hundred Changes Big Coffee Show" in 2014, his popularity plummeted, and he experienced what makes people go tea cold.
04 Thin accumulation of thick hair and thick accumulation of thin hair
Here Bai Kainan walked downhill, and Jia Ling finally survived.
Partnered with Sha Yi, Li Jing and Qu Ying to gain a foothold in the improvised comedy reality show "Joy Street" launched by CCTV.
Later, he created a series of comedy series programs "Spring of comedy class" with Xu Juncong and Zhang Xiaofei.
Compared with Bai Kainan's "regardless of type", Jia Ling has always looked for a direction of development, that is, comedy.
Joining "Happy Comedians" with Shen Teng, Song Xiaobao and others, Jia Ling's voice is getting higher and higher.
Even though her figure had changed at the time, people were willing to pay for her amusement.
In 2015, her partner Qu Ying once again appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
The former partner is gone, and Jia Ling, who slowly but continues to specialize in output, blooms.
It was also at this time that Jia Ling really let go of her obsession with crosstalk.
"I feel like it's going to be hard for me to get to the heights I expect in this area. If you want to live, you have to turn around, so I thought about trying it on the sketch..."
In this attempt, Jia Ling tried the road to success.
Not to mention the Spring Festival Gala many times, she also set up a large bowl of entertainment.
Signed Zhang Xiaofei, Xu Juncong, He Huan, Bu Yu, Zhang Taiwei and other comedy artists.
Lead the team to dig deeper in the field of comedy.
As if a natural laugh, "Even if it is done deliberately, it is not annoying."
Jia Ling, who has accumulated a lot of money, has obtained a steady stream of good resources.
From "Run Bar Brothers" and "Comedy Story" to "Happy Drama Club", "Ace to Ace", "Youth Tour" and so on.
Jia Ling broke out of the sky with strength.
At this time, Bai Kainan also appeared again, but this time the "fame" was not glorious.
In 2019, Bai Kainan, who was eliminated after marching one round in "Happy Comedians 2", made a comeback.
Standing on the stage of "Happy Comedians 6", he was questioned more strongly than ever.
Audiences don't buy into his work.
The barrage is full of words such as "far-fetched attachment", "happy head and sad tail", "emotional card is not moved", and "forced push paragraph".
"Now the audience has seen more funny paragraphs, they have higher requirements for content, excellent laughter, and natural interpretation is the way to win!"
Bai Kainan did not listen to Guo Degang's words, he said: "I am not a good actor, I can only rely on true feelings..."
"The baggage is not enough, the feelings come together."
Bai Kainan shows in his works the difficulty of his hard work, and also highlights his own efforts.
But the audience at the scene gave him a "lowest score in the whole game" gift.
Maybe at this time, The table Kenan has fallen into a misunderstanding.
His efforts are to prove himself, to prove that he can act, so that the audience understands himself.
And Jia Ling's efforts are a mind that makes the audience laugh and brings happiness to everyone.
Without grasping the essence of comedy, Bai Kainan will fall fiercely.
The misfortune is that Bai Kainan was subsequently ruthlessly unveiled the foundation of "plagiarism".
In this show, his work "borrows" Zhang Boyang's passage in "Talk Show Conference".
In the comparison of screenshots and clips of netizens, Bai Kainan has nothing to hide.
A comedian, if there is no creativity, there is no unique output.
How sad is this?
Subsequently, netizens picked up all his works, even funny speeches on personal social media platforms.
More and more content accused of "plagiarism" is raging, and the word of mouth that directly overturns the car has plunged Bai Kainan into the lowest trough of his life.
At this time, it was his former partner Jia Ling who reached out to him.
05 Inspire talent to find the right position, so as not to be forgotten
A "Hello, Li Huanying" made Jia Ling the highest-grossing female director in China.
And when the movie is at its hottest, "Ace to Ace" also has to call for it.
It is said that if you want to promote the movie, Jia Ling brings the lead actors Zhang Xiaofei and Shen Teng.
But she took Bai Kainan with her, and in the whole show, she formed a team with him.
Full of tacit interaction, naturally answering, familiar with some physical contact.
Although Jia Ling did her best to Q to Bai Kainan to speak, the presentation of the final program was still unsatisfactory.
Bai Kainan's shots are almost cut, and when he appears, most of them are distant, half-faced, and occluded.
This time the pull did not achieve very good results.
In the "Youth Tour 3" that began airing this year, Jia Ling once again exerted her strength and brought Bai Kainan with her.
The two reminisce about the past in the show, talk about the history of fame, and talk about the bitterness behind being a comedian.
Bai Kainan seems to realize that the reason why he seems to have slowly worked hard all these years and finally achieved nothing is not enough concentration.
Jia Ling said, "Brother, if I can still say crosstalk in the future, you are my only partner." ”
At that time, Bai Kainan's eyes were red.
In the early years, Bai Kainan kept walking, and Sheng Sheng pulled himself into a "meter" shaped person.
The seeds of specialization in comedy have not yet been planted.
He began to work hard in other "side jobs" such as actors and hosts.
Impetuous to one's own heart, vacant head, wasted time, consumed talent.
At that time, it seemed that Bai Kainan had the same scenery and his career was blossoming everywhere.
But to really dissect his development, it seems that everything is involved, and it seems that nothing has become a climate.
It seems that everything can be done, and it seems that nothing is fine.
It seems to be busy and busy, but it is actually standing still.
On the other hand, Jia Ling, she has been running on the word "one" to make herself a "comedy queen".
She takes the identified field as the only one, and whatever she does, she revolves around this center.
Find your own position, and you have a greater chance of success.
And Jia Ling and Bai Kainan still have a bit of a fatal difference.
That is, Jia Ling's comedic talent seems to be innate and inexhaustible, but Bai Kainan is at the end of the road, and Jiang Lang is exhausted.
Efforts without talent will mostly become a futile effort.
And the words "talent is not enough to work hard" are in the comedy art circle that is in great need of a steady stream of creativity.
It's often a mess.
A Tsinghua student said something like this in an interview:
"It's all said that 1% inspiration, plus 99% effort equals success. But when I entered Tsinghua, I learned that 99% of the effort can only determine the lower limit, and what really determines a person's upper limit is the 1% inspiration! ”
Bai Kainan may have never lacked this 1% inspiration and talent.
But at the fork in the road in his life, he made a slightly wrong choice.
Lost in fame and fortune, gradually waste yourself and scatter your talents.
In the end, "everyone is out of sight", it seems that from the moment he made his choice, he was already doomed...
