Audiences who have watched the "Country Love" series must be deeply impressed by the character "Zhao Si", even young people now have begun to call him "Asian dance king. Nicholas. Zhao Si".
And the actor of "Zhao Si" Liu Xiaoguang was once Zhao Benshan's most proud disciple, and he has always shown himself as an "honest man" on the screen.
But he didn't expect that after becoming famous, his several "scandals" almost ruined his career, and if it weren't for Zhao Benshan's timely action, maybe Liu Xiaoguang would never have come out again.
Why did Liu Xiaoguang, who almost "dragged" his master, leave Zhao Benshan?
What really happened between them, and are those "scandals" really true?
Now that he has left Zhao Benshan to fly alone, has he succeeded?
In 1974, Liu Xiaoguang was born in rural Jilin, his family was poor, his academic performance was not very good, and he could only choose to go to the city to work.
At that time, Liu Xiaoguang was still called Liu Jianguang, and when he first entered the city, he had no education and could only work as a car repairer.
Every day after work, my biggest hobby is to go to the neighborhood to watch the duo performance.
Gradually, he became more and more fond of the duo, and finally one day he left the work at hand and began a career of performing everywhere with a duo transfer team.
Liu Xiaoguang has always been "ugly" in the two, but fortunately, he also understands his advantages very well, standing on the stage and squeezing his eyebrows and making funny dance moves can amuse the audience.
Since the Spring Festival Gala became popular, Zhao Benshan began to develop Benshan Media, and also transferred the two to the registration, and since then it has not been so easy for large and small theaters to perform the duo.
It is said that Zhao Benshan's original intention was to turn the two into his own industry and then carry it forward through Benshan Media, but there was a lack of a large number of talents.
So Zhao Benshan often goes to various places to watch performances, and when he meets good talents, he will accept them as apprentices, and in a performance he saw Liu Xiaoguang's appearance on the stage and felt that this person was very open-minded, and the two became masters and apprentices.
For this apprentice, it can be clearly seen that Zhao Benshan's "preference" for him, it is said that Xiao Shenyang and Liu Xiaoguang are the teachers who worship the front and back, but in 2007, Zhao Benshan first brought Liu Xiaoguang to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to perform the sketch "Sending the Play".
But what really made him popular was not the Spring Festival Gala, but the "Zhao Si" in the "Country Love" series.
Guan Xiaoping, who played "Zhao Si" in "Country Love 1", was also Zhao Benshan's apprentice at that time, and it was rumored that in order to let Liu Xiaoguang play "Zhao Si" in the second part, Zhao Benshan directly "expelled" Guan Xiaoping.
At first, Zhao Benshan only said to let Guan Xiaoping go to other places to develop for three months, and did not tell him the reason, Guan Xiaoping was willing and left Benshan Media directly.
Liu Xiaoguang's "Zhao Si" gives people a refreshing feeling, with a twitching expression and funny dance steps, which made him successfully popular.
It can be said that Liu Xiaoguang at that time was Zhao Benshan's most proud and favorite disciple, but he did not expect that this proud disciple would start to "pit Master" not long after he became popular.
Liu Xiaoguang's wife is his partner, originally her husband became famous, which was a happy thing for everyone, but his wife found that Liu Xiaoguang began to return day and night, and he still smelled of alcohol after returning.
At first, she didn't care much, but later received a call to collect debts and learned that Liu Xiaoguang had met a few drinking and meat friends, began to learn to "play with money", and owed a lot of money.
It can only be said that Liu Xiaoguang has a good master, and it was Zhao Benshan who helped him pay off this debt.
Later, in the program, Liu Xiaoguang also said: "If it weren't for Master, my life would be ruined." ”
In order not to let Liu Xiaoguang get infected with bad habits again, Zhao Benshan sent people to control him every day.
It is said that Zhao Benshan was disappointed with Liu Xiaoguang and didn't even take him to the Spring Festival Gala, so Xiao Shenyang became popular overnight with "Not Bad Money" at the 2009 Spring Festival Gala.
When "Country Love 3" was ready to start filming, Zhao Benshan also hesitated to let Guan Xiaoping come back and play "Zhao Si".
After Liu Xiaoguang left Zhao Benshan, he worshipped Pan Changjiang as a teacher, and also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, starred in several film and television works, and became much more famous than before.
But Benshan Media made several calls to Guan Xiaoping but were rejected, which only allowed Liu Xiaoguang to continue to star.
Recalling the filming time, Liu Xiaoguang once said that he was not allowed to bring mobile phones on the crew, and gradually broke off contact with those drinking and meat friends.
It can be said that Zhao Benshan also worked hard for this apprentice, but he did not expect that Liu Xiaoguang made another "big thing" for him in 2017.
That year, Zhuo Wei exposed a news that caused a sensation on the Internet, it was about the chat record between Liu Xiaoguang and a female fan, and the content was "unbearable".
It is said that this news was revealed to Zhuo Wei by a girlfriend of one of Liu Xiaoguang's fans.
According to the news, in August 2016, a female fan left contact information with the idol after watching Liu Xiaoguang's performance, and the two have often chatted since that day.
In just two months, Liu Xiaoguang began to take the initiative and asked female fans to go to the hotel.
It is worth mentioning that the two played in the hotel for three days and three nights, but the money and other consumption for opening the room were paid by female fans, and Liu Xiaoguang did not mean to reimburse at all.
Then he often made some strange requests in chats with female fans, and even brought female fans to his home.
But the reason why this matter was exposed by female fans came from Liu Xiaoguang's next operation.
It is rumored that Liu Xiaoguang and his ex-wife have divorced, and he took his eldest son to marry a wife ten years younger than him.
On weekdays, Liu Xiaoguang plays live broadcasts with his eldest son to make money when he has nothing to do.
In the Spring Festival of 2016, in order to increase the popularity of the live broadcast room, Liu Xiaoguang asked female fans to help brush gifts, and said that he would return her after the New Year.
In order to help the idol, female fans swiped 20,000 yuan before and after, and found someone to borrow a lot during the period.
But when she went to Liu Xiaoguang to ask for money the next year, the other party actually blacked her out.
The female fan then felt that she was fooled and wanted to run to Liu Xiaoguang to confront her in person, but Liu Xiaoguang persuaded her not to ask for this money with the matter of the hotel between the two.
Later, the female fan was angry and took the initiative to expose the matter to Zhuo Wei.
After the news was exposed, netizens were shocked by the spicy chat records between the two while ridiculing: "If you want to say that you can play or Zhao Si can play, you will earn 20,000 if you don't pay a penny." ”
Afterwards, some reporters also found Benshan Media, but Benshan Media never expressed its position, and the matter was closed.
As for whether Zhao Benshan helped him, we don't know, but since then, Liu Xiaoguang has rarely appeared on the screen, and even the film and television works he participated in are broadcast as online dramas.
But an incident in 2020 made Liu Xiaoguang "slap in the face" again.
In August of that year, the news of Liu Xiaoguang's drunk driving in Wuxi was spread on the Internet, and many reporters ran to interview Liu Xiaoguang, and Liu Xiaoguang said that he was filming in Shenyang at the time and had not been to Wuxi, and even Benshan Media came out to say that the rumors on the Internet were "rumors".
But the subsequent announcement and CCTV's forwarding left him speechless.
It is worth mentioning that the reality on the report Liu Xiaoguang was born in 1971, and Liu Xiaoguang's information shows that it was 1974, and this age fraud has also become one of the reasons for netizens to "complain" about him.
It can be said that these three things, each of which is inseparable from Zhao Benshan's help, but everything has a certain impact on Zhao Benshan.
Even Zhao Benshan said at the beginning: "The apprentice I am most worried about is Liu Xiaoguang. ”
These three things were also classified by netizens as Liu Xiaoguang's "three deadly sins", and each one stepped on the red line.
But anyway, Zhao Benshan's kindness to Liu Xiaoguang should be great, why did Liu Xiaoguang leave his master and fly alone?
Since last year, Liu Xiaoguang has set up his own media company, started live broadcasting, and the number of people in the live broadcast room has soared, almost becoming a first-line anchor.
Of course, there is no contradiction between him and Zhao Benshan, but he has changed a platform and no longer relies on Benshan Media to make money, as for the reason, it can be understood from the live broadcast of many of Zhao Benshan's apprentices.
Wang Xiaoli's wife said in the live broadcast that her husband's money in "Country Love" was not enough to open a store.
Cheng Ye, Yadan and others also said that the salary of Benshan Media was too low, and Ge Shanshan said in the live broadcast that her monthly salary was only 20,000.
Netizens can see from the consumption of Zhao Benshan's daughter "Qiuqiu" that Benshan Media is not without money.
Including the coquettish who scolded Zhao Benshan during the live broadcast before, they all broke the news, and the income of the apprentice of the live broadcast in the live broadcast room will also be shared by Benshan Media.
Since Liu Xiaoguang flew solo, many netizens mistakenly thought that he and Zhao Benshan also had conflicts, but no matter what Liu Xiaoguang did before, in terms of Zhao Benshan's kindness to him who repeatedly helped, the two were unlikely to turn against each other.
Perhaps the reason why Liu Xiaoguang was able to fly solo was also the result of Zhao Benshan's acquiescence, after all, in addition to the live broadcast industry, Liu Xiaoguang's reputation on the screen is difficult to go back to the past.
I hope he can reflect on the past and grasp the happiness of the present.
After all, now Zhao Benshan is old, and he often has to worry about his children, and he has to rely on himself to walk the road after that.
