With thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was an idol of young women in the 1980s.
It is also the grandfather of the comedy performance form of sketches.
He is Zhu Shimao.
When he was a child in Linshu County, Shandong Province, he was Zhu Laoliu.
It was 1954, a new mouth was added to the family, and the Zhu family had six children since then.
But the parents still have to give birth.
When he was 12 years old, he gave his father a filial piety, plus Zhu Shimao, and there were a total of twelve children in front of the Lingtang.
The burden was suddenly tilted to the mother's shoulder.
He had become sensible and knew what it meant to lose his father at home.
However, her mother had the momentum of eating steel and biting iron, even if she was tired, Zhu Shimao did not listen to her cry out in pain.
He understood that in order to live a good life, he had to have a good life.
Shandong Hanzi is tall and majestic, and some of them have thick eyebrows and big eyes.
These two points, entering adolescence, have it all in Zhu Shimao, who is getting older and older.
Joining the army was the best way out in that era, and he was even more fortunate to be a literary and artistic soldier.
It was his 16-year-old youth, the Drama Troupe of the Fuzhou Military Region, a young lad who was loved by everyone.
Fashionably speaking, there is a small fresh meat in the group that an actress talks about behind her back.
In 5 years, Zhu Shimao went from having no acting foundation to preparing for filming.
His military career not only sharpened his personality, but also poured Zhu Shimao's performance foundation, which was very strong.
Director Shui Hua, from Beijing Film Studio, prepared to make the film "Children of Xisha" in 1975.
Select roles, and give priority to selecting from local literary troupes and drama troupes.
Zhu Shimao, who has a good appearance, was selected by the director at a glance, and he played Fu Hailong in the play.
Just a big man in the north, to the beach and on the boat to experience some life.
At first, he did suffer a bit.
After adapting, Zhu Shimao also understood that performance never preset scenes, and the key was to see if he could perfectly dock.
A 21-year-old boy has since entered the industry.
In the years that followed, he made several more films.
There is a fixed salary paid by the army every month, plus additional income from filming.
The money he mailed to his mother suddenly increased.
"Old Six is out." It's like a circle of ripples that ripple from home to the front and back of the village.
At the age of 25, the great director Xie Jin took a fancy to him and flipped Zhu Shimao's brand twice in succession to make movies.
Lao Xie was going to prepare for the filming of "Ah! Cradle", the first time I saw him, I felt suitable.
But the time is not appropriate, Zhu Shimao is filming "Flying Symphony", a film of Bayi Factory.
Lao Xie could only bear to choose other people.
The next year, Xie Jin wanted to shoot "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain" again, remembering Zhu Shimao again.
Unfortunately, he "lay" in the other crew again.
Xie Dao was in a hurry, and asked Shen Jialiang of the Film Studio to send a message to Zhu: Good evil wait for me!
At that time, although Zhu Shimao had been filming for four or five years, to be honest, he was not well known.
The big director can look up to himself, and naturally there can be no more excuses.
Therefore, whoever talks about next year's film contract, he said that he has a home and can't take care of it for the time being.
Zhu Shimao did not know that Xie Jin wanted to make a scene about the farm.
It wasn't until that summer of '81 that Hula, along with a group of actors, was pulled by a car to a very remote pastoral area.
Xie Dao let go: "When will the traces of the big city be erased, and when will we talk about filming again." ”
Zhu Shimao's hometown Linshu is a rural area, not a pastoral area, and the labor and life experience of his childhood cannot be used here.
He ate and lived with the herders, and the rhythm of his daily life suddenly slowed down.
The herders were initially uncomfortable with the arrival of new people, perhaps infrequent contact with outsiders, talking and doing things, and slowing down.
After a few days, Zhu Shimao adapted to the rhythm.
Only when the sun filled the grassland that could not be seen at a glance, the herders "spread the joy" on the horse.
He learned to ride a horse, no matter how fierce, he could get closer little by little.
The playground after the rain adds a lot of fun. Grab a handful of mushrooms and decorate the day's meal even more fragrantly.
Fresh and interesting is a lot, but there is also a lot of embarrassment.
Especially the husband and wife drama with actor Cong Shan, which made the two people very embarrassed.
Before the start of filming, Xie Dao let the two people quickly enter the state of quasi-husband and wife life.
How to eat, how to talk, how to manage at home after having children, etc., the details of life are all-encompassing.
When Zhu Shimao made a fuss, he often inadvertently had a big red face.
He has a good relationship, the first time to shoot a husband and wife scene, naturally feel uncomfortable.
What's more, Cong Shan was still 10 years younger than him, and all of a sudden Zhu Shimao couldn't let go.
After all, the two people are professional, and after the run-in, the gap is slowly eliminated.
It's time to start shooting.
However, the crew in the depths of the Qilian Mountains heard bad news - "Wrangler" may be aborted.
But rumors are always rumors, and there is no definite news coming.
Later, I learned that it was Xu Sangchu, the director of the Shanghai Film Studio, who found a relationship.
With the above conclusion, he also specially sent a reassuring pill to the crew: shoot with peace of mind, don't listen to the rumors, shoot it well!
Xie Jin was worried about another change and made changes to the script.
The film was filmed and finally passed the review.
After the broadcast, the movie caused a sensation, and the audience liked Xu Lingjun, played by Zhu Shimao.
Many viewers wrote to him, and many girls also admired him.
Some people even think that Zhu Shimao and Cong Shan are a pair created in heaven and earth.
But Zhu Shimao is self-aware, and everyone likes the role played on the screen.
The audience does not know much about the life of the actor.
In his life, there is Fan Xuxia.
Fan Xiaoxia was 2 years older than Zhu Shimao, and the two were recruited into the Fuzhou Military Region Repertory Theater together.
The two people are not only from the same country, but also soldiers in the same year, which can be said to be a talented woman.
In 1980, Fan Xiaoxia and Zhu Shimao entered the palace of marriage.
After the filming of "Wrangler", his life changed dramatically.
Bayi Factory named him, so in 1983, Zhu Shimao and his other half went north.
Next, with the encounter with Chen Peisi, Zhu Shimao embarked on a different path of acting.
At that time, Chen Peisi was transferred to the Bayi Factory a few years earlier than Zhu Shimao.
Zhu Shimao had just arrived and was still temporarily staying in the Bayi Factory's own guest house, while Chen Peisi already had a small bungalow with a unit.
Due to the proximity of life, the two people often visited the door when they had nothing to do.
They have their own understanding of performance, and many things are integrated into this conversation.
Soon the two of them summed up whether to engage in a short stage play, similar to a drama, but shorter than the drama time.
At the same time, it is necessary to take the form of comedy as the foundation.
Zhu Shimao's appearance is "Zhou Zheng", Chen Peisi has a bit of the meaning of "defective product", on the stage, this is an excellent point of dramatic conflict.
The more the two of them talked, the more they laughed, and they said that they would do it.
At the beginning of the show, there was no name, and it lasted about half an hour, which was a miniature drama.
Once that year, I wanted to go to Harbin to perform.
The two men took to the stage with the newly launched program format.
Since there was no such format before, the two men did not know how the audience reacted after the performance.
The laughter that soon came from the audience gradually dispelled the worries of the two people.
After the performance, the audience was almost popular, and many male audience members shouted for them to come back for a while.
The two people in the backstage were both happy and nervous when they heard the audience asking to return to the scene.
The audience recognized the format of the program, but at that time, the two of them only had this piece of work.
What to do?
You can't make the audience's enthusiasm turn into disappointment.
So, two people came back to the front desk,
Zhu Shimao sang a song "Grandma's Penghu Bay", and Chen Peisi sang a song "My Sun".
Soon, the new performance model of the two people spread across the country.
The program team of the Spring Festival Gala also quickly found them, inviting them to come to such a segment in front of the national television audience.
It's about to take to a bigger stage, what's the name?
After thinking about it, they officially designated this form of program as a "sketch".
Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi did not know that they had already created a new form of program.
In addition to having a fixed name, the two people also compressed the length of the show.
From the beginning of half an hour, it was finally compressed to about 15 minutes.
In 1984, Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi, with the skit "Eating Noodles", officially stood on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
What the outside world does not know is that this sketch has no script, no pre-prepared lines,
In addition to the body movements, the two people on stage are improvised.
Completely rely on zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi on the stage.
After the performance, the effect was surprisingly good, not only overpowering the song and dance program, but even not inferior to cross-talk.
So in 1985, they came to the Spring Festival Gala with a new "Making a Movie".
Like the first sketch, this one did not prepare the script in advance, and did not even write a word.
But this did not hinder their program, which almost became a pillar in the Spring Festival Gala in 1985.
After that, the director said to both of them, come to us every year from now on.
Then came the 1986 skit "Lamb Kebabs".
Compared with the first two sketches, from the beginning of this show, Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi began to pre-write the script.
With the script, the lines will be more standardized.
After the show was performed, the effect was as good as ever.
In the eyes of the outside world, Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi have become fixed partners.
In the following years, the two people successively launched a series of popular works such as "Protagonist and Supporting Role" and "Policeman and Thief".
Especially the sketch "Protagonist and Supporting Character", it now seems that the comedy conflict in it is still not outdated.
In those years, Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi became professional households of the Spring Festival Gala.
With their opening of the way, there were a series of new stars such as Zhao Benshan and Zhao Lirong.
Especially in 1995, the two men took a different approach and moved their performances outdoors.
This is the skit "Rush".
However, some people seem to be more like a sitcom.
But in any case, it is still impossible to stop the audience's love for the two of them.
However, with the skit "The Prince and the Postman" airing on the spring evening,
Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi's Spring Festival Gala trip has also come to an end.
In the coming year, the audience suddenly found that there were no two of them on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Soon there was news that it turned out to be a distribution company under CCTV.
Without the authorization of the two people, they burned their sketches from the past years into a CD-ROM and published them.
So in 2000, Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi sued the company, which belonged to CCTV.
Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi won the case, but they disappeared from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
The outside world has speculated that the two of them were banned by CCTV.
Many years later, when talking about this issue again, neither Zhu Shimao nor Chen Peisi was willing to talk about it more.
Zhu Shimao once said in an interview that we have our difficulties, they have their problems.
Subsequently, Zhu Shimao continued to be active on the stage of film and television dramas, and also went abroad to study directing.
In life, Zhu Shimao and his wife Fan Xuxia have a child, called Zhu Qingyang, who is 30 years old this year.
Zhu Qingyang studied film and directed the movie "Spy Lotus".
However, in the child's infancy, the Zhu family always has a smell of Chinese medicine.
The child is weak and has asthma, and he will cough if he changes the day slightly.
Therefore, when he was young, Zhu Shimao was almost obedient to his son, and he also took him to almost all the hospitals in the capital.
At the age of 8, in order to give the child a better treatment environment, he even gritted his teeth and sent the child to the United States.
In order to take care of her son, his wife Fan Xuxia also accompanied her son to the United States, and the family began an 8-year separation of the two places.
Twice a year, Zhu Shimao would go abroad to visit his son.
When the child was young, he did not want his father to leave every time, and that feeling also made Zhu Shimao feel very distressed.
Fortunately, the treatment abroad is effective, and as the child grows up, the body becomes tough.
When the child grows to be as tall as the father, the father and son have the same career direction.
Zhu Shimao is also 56 years old, becoming a director.
In 2010, he directed and starred in the movie "Quit Smoking and Not Drinking", which also found an old friend Chen Peisi to make a cameo.
At the scene of the launch conference that year, Zhu Shimao was even more large-scale and actress Wang Siyi came to a mouth-to-mouth.
The outside world began to speculate whether Lao Mao's marriage was in crisis.
Zhu Shimao responded easily, just a polite kiss, don't associate it.
However, two years later, the media captured Zhu Shimao and another young actress acting ambiguously.
For a time, the public speculated that Zhu Shimao had cheated or there was a marriage change.
But after that, there was no news of any crisis between him and his wife Fan Xuxia.
Since then, although he has appeared in film and television dramas from time to time, the frequency is not high.
In the minds of the public, Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi are still the hottest candidates for the Spring Festival Gala every year.
In 2019, some people broke the news that Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi were about to return to the Spring Festival Gala.
Even the two people performing any show has a nose and an eye.
However, whether it was Zhu Shimao or Chen Peisi, at that time, they all said that if they reappeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, they would basically be indefinite.
Zhu Shimao once said that he and Chen Peisi were relatively sorry that there was no finale on the sketch stage.
Maybe by the time they turn seventy or eighty, two people may be on stage again.
Draw a perfect end to the golden combination in the minds of each other and the audience.
