They took the "pit" to the Spring Festival Gala, and contracted half of the hot search.

The change of hot search terms reflects the mood of netizens: "Just wait for Shen Teng Ma Li"→ "Shen Teng Ma Li laughed as soon as she came out"→ "It has to be Shen Teng Ma Li"...

"Shen Ma Group" has once again become the "king of the bombing field" of the Spring Festival!

"The Pit" is the name of their work this time. When Shen Teng, who was carrying a briefcase and a teacup, appeared, he felt right. The familiar "Hao Jian" setting is back.

This time, his role is Director Hao, who "has to come to work when his sick leave expires". As soon as he came, he used the stack of unsigned documents as a pillow and lay comfortably, and as soon as he mentioned work, he took out a "medicine bottle" and poured it, but it contained milk tablets...

This image is properly a "lying flat cadre" who rolls up his sleeves and does not work." The subordinate persuaded him to fill in the hole on the road so that no one would accidentally fall into it, and he did not want to take responsibility.

Until Director Ma, played by Ma Li, dragged the high heels with the heel off his heel and appeared "hissing"... The unlucky egg who fell into the pit first was her.

Director Hao "did not see Director Ma", regarded her as a common man who came to complain, "invited" her to a chair, and pushed her out the door. The pair fought against the wrongdoers, performed a "record of the appearance of officialdom", and also filled the spicy irony of the work.

The "Shen Ma Group" lived up to its trust, leaving the audience with 16 minutes of laughter in front of the screen.

Unconsciously, in the lights of thousands of homes at night Chinese New Year's Eve, they have become the "old friends" that the audience is looking forward to, and have become the memories of the Spring Festival Gala that cannot be erased...

7 times cooperation on the Spring Festival Gala

Shen Tengmali's first Spring Festival Gala stage firmly established the name of "Hao Jian".

In 2013, Shen Teng and Ma Li debuted at the Spring Festival Gala, bringing "Today's Happiness 2" - Hao Jian, played by Shen Teng, went to the home of the female boss played by Ma Li to give gifts in order to be promoted to the lobby manager, and did not admit to bumping into her ex-husband, which caused a series of misunderstandings...

Shen Teng's fame at that time was far from what it is now. After the skit was broadcast, there was a situation where the audience "only knew Hao Jian and did not know Shen Teng".

Since then, "Hao Jian Universe" has become a classic series of the Spring Festival Gala.

At the 2014 Spring Festival Gala, Shen Teng and Ma Li brought "Helpless", focusing on the topic of "the elderly touching porcelain" that is hotly discussed in society. Hao Jian is an enthusiastic young man who picked up the old lady who fell to the ground, but was mistaken for the perpetrator.

"Aunt, if this person falls, if we don't help it, won't the person's heart fall? If people's hearts fall, we can't help it if we want to..."

These words pierce people's hearts. "Helpless" won the first place in the most popular language program of the year.

It also laid the foundation for the future painting style of "Hao Jian Universe". Shen Teng and Ma Li's sketches began to be closely related to social phenomena:

In 2015, "Vote for Favorites" focused on anti-corruption themes. Hao Jian is a small scientist who is good at playing table tennis. In order to coerce the leader, the female section chief directly let him practice during work hours ⭣⭣

In 2019, "Seat Occupancy" reflects educational anxiety. Five parents did everything they could to grab seats in the first row of the classroom for their children

In 2020, "Walking Through the Scene" satirizes the "face project". In order to cope with Chief Hao, who came to pose for inspection, Director Ma wanted to teach his subordinates to pretend to be sick, and as a result, he was forced to become a "patient"⭣⭣

In 2022, "Not Yet" ridicules the phenomenon of old lai. This time, Shen Teng's name is "Lao Shen", and in the face of the old classmates who came to the door to ask for accounts, he lied and did not change his face ⭣⭣

This year, "Hao Jian" returned.

In "The Pit", Director Hao, who hangs "do more and make more mistakes, do less mistakes, and not do well", has a pit that he does not fill, and finally pits himself. The ending is as crisp and neat as a "cool movie", Director Ma asked Director Hao to go home and lie down, don't break the hearts of the people!

Some netizens commented that watching Shen Teng Ma Li's sketch, first made people laugh, poked to the cool point, and left a long meaning, which is thought-provoking.

The audience was so "immersed" in the duo's stage that their mistakes were often overlooked.

Last night, Ma Li revealed in an interview that as soon as she played, another heel suddenly fell off. She picked it up and put it in her pocket to continue the performance. This quick on-the-spot response not only did not cause a stage accident, but also cleverly contributed a laugh.

This is not the first time this has happened.

In "Today's Happiness 2", according to the established design, after Ma Li said "Come in, leave the door for you", Shen Teng should reply to "It's me, Hao Jian with a clear conscience".

As a result, because of Ma Li's microphone, the three words "come in" were lost, and Shen Teng adapted, changing his lines to "what a strange door".

In "Helpless", after Ma Li said "Oh, this is not my bicycle", Shen Teng should have answered, but he kept playing pain on the ground.

Ma Li immediately realized that Shen Teng forgot the words, so she repeated her lines again, and Shen Teng naturally connected the lines, and finally successfully completed the performance.

If it weren't for Shen Teng and Ma Li's self-disclosure afterwards, it is estimated that few people would know that they had so many "thrilling moments" on the Spring Festival evening.

And from the resolution of these crises, people also have a new understanding of the tacit understanding of the "Shen Ma Group".

The military art school grass meets the Chinese opera student

How is this tacit pair refined? In fact, Shen Teng and Ma Li had completely different life circumstances at first.

Shen Teng belongs to the type that does everything smoothly.

During the art examination, he had no professional foundation, and he was stunned to enter the military art (PLA Art Academy) with a handsome face, and later became a military art school grass;

When he graduated in 2003, he accidentally found a job - when he went to the Happy Twist Theater Company to audition, the other actors were respectful of the director, only he collapsed on the sofa and successfully attracted the director. However, in fact, he was paralyzed only because he had just finished hemorrhoid surgery and could not move...

Shen Teng was the school grass that was handsome to the cover

On the other hand, Ma Li has experienced a lot of setbacks along the way.

When she took the Nortel exam, she unfortunately fell off the list because she was too nervous, but fortunately passed the professional test and finally entered the Chinese drama; In four years of college, she got top grades, but the graduation drama did not let her play the female number one, and a teacher even said that she had a defective appearance, and suggested that if she wanted to be an actor in the future, it was best to knock out 4 upper teeth and put a hoop.

Ma Li did not do what the teacher said, but her heart irrepressibly began to feel inferior.

When her classmates were running the crew to hand over their resumes, she hadn't been there once because she "didn't have that confidence", and then simply broke off the idea of acting in film and television dramas and decided to become a drama actor: "Anyway, so far away, I draw a big heavy makeup, a dozen lights, and the audience can't see what I look like." ”

Ma Li in her youth

The opportunity for "Shen Ma" to meet happened in 2005.

Shen Teng went to watch the drama, and it happened to be Ma Li on stage. Although it was the first time she had met, Shen Teng decided that Ma Li was definitely "an indispensable actress in the Chinese comedy industry" and that "her rhythm and expressiveness are remarkable."

It was also this year that the two became Happy Twist's colleagues.

Compared with Shen Teng's appreciation of Ma Li, Ma Li's admiration for Shen Teng is a little belated. She was nervous when she first met him, knowing that he was a serious drama director, but she was quickly shocked to find that in private he was "very contrasting" and "playing cards with a group of people while playing 'killing games'".

It was not until 2010, when the two had their first collaboration in the drama "The Count of Wulong Mountain", that Ma Li "found Shen Teng so attractive". It is precisely because of this cooperation that the two feel the tacit understanding between each other and have since become golden partners on the stage.

Separated and reunited

The "Shen Ma" duo are also gradually known to the audience. In 2015, the release of "Charlotte Troubles" welded the "Shen Ma" combination on the big screen like a soldering iron in the hearts of many people.

I thought that it was the beginning of the peak of cooperation between the two, but I didn't expect that the cooperation between Shen Teng and Ma Li became less and less.

In 2017, Happy Twist's new movie "Iron Fist of Shame" was released. The publicity party had vigorously promoted Shen Teng Ma Li's cooperation again, but after the film was released, the audience found that Shen Teng only made a cameo appearance.

The "content" of the entire film is pitiful, and the audience is fooled.

Surprisingly, in the face of overwhelming complaints, Ma Li bluntly said: "Shen Ma Group" will not cooperate forever, because "I am worried that one day the audience will be bored with our two partners..."

Perhaps knowing the audience's expectations, in 2017, Happy Twist officially announced the start of a movie, called "Capital Successor". Promotional materials show that Shen Teng and Ma Li will play the male and female protagonists in the movie, and the drama party continues to label "Capital Successor" as "the sequel to "Charlotte Troubles" and "the original reunion".

This news directly "filled" the fans' sense of expectation. However, the publicity of the film became smaller and smaller, until it finally "disappeared".

Instead, another classic comedy film by the Happy Twist team "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

In the promotional materials of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", netizens were surprised to find that the cast and director lineup had many similarities with "Capital Successor", and one of the few differences was the replacement of the heroine Ma Li.

After the news broke, the reaction of fans "fried the pan". Ma Li responded generously on Weibo: "Everything is the best arrangement. Shen Teng also explained that it was only the script that was not suitable for Ma Li that he temporarily decided to change.

In the following years, Ma Li experienced pregnancy and childbirth, and her career performance was mediocre. At the beginning of 2022, the movies "Li Mao for Prince" and "Siberian Tiger" starring Ma Li were released, but they encountered word-of-mouth Waterloo one after another. The former has a Douban score of 4.6, and the latter is slightly better, just passing 6.2 points. 

Previously, some of the movies Ma Li participated in were also not ideal at the box office. For example, "Fortune Diary", "Sunshine Robber", "Lie Detector", word of mouth is worse than one...

On the other hand, Shen Teng's career ushered in an explosive period. He found a new partner Jia Ling, and the two sang and reconciled in the variety show "Ace to Ace", and soon became a national "variety show CP", and the film "Hello, Li Huanying" also made Shen Teng the first actor in Chinese film history to break 20 billion at the box office.

In those years, Shen Teng and Ma Li always seemed to avoid each other intentionally or unintentionally.

There is "Ace to Ace", Ma Li, Bai Kainan, and Da Zhang Wei came to the show as guests, and many people could see that even the greeting between the two seemed perfunctory.

When it came to the game together, Shen Teng and Ma Li performed on the same stage, but the reaction of the two was very unnatural. Some netizens ridiculed: "The distance between the two is almost wide enough to cross the truck."

The once intimate partner has become so indifferent, which makes many fans of the "Shen Ma Group" sigh.

As for the reason, there is much speculation. Some people say that Ma Li is to remove the label of "female comedian" on her body; Some people also said that it was Shen Teng's family who felt that he was too close to Ma Li...

Until 2022, the two once again ushered in the movie "Walking on the Moon" as the male and female protagonists respectively. The quality of the film's films is mixed, but the box office is really "powerful" - after 3 days of release, the film's box office exceeded 1 billion yuan.

This also shows that for the "Shen Ma" combination, the audience's expectations are not reduced back then, and the tacit understanding between the two is more likely to produce a good "chemical reaction". This just explains why the performance of the two at this year's Spring Festival Gala will be so popular.

Watching old friends reunite always brings emotion, especially when you see the return of a pair of classic partners who have drifted apart.

On the evening of this spring, Shen Teng's first words after taking the stage were "Long time no see, long time no see".

Some people say, perhaps, this is Shen Teng's heart words to the "Shen Ma Group" in the past few years, and it is also what the audience wants to say to them the most.

"Shen Ma Group", long time no see!
