In the early years, there was a saying that after passing Shanhaiguan, he looked for Zhao Benshan.
From this sentence, you can also see how famous Zhao Benshan is, many people have always thought that this sentence is just used to praise Zhao Benshan, saying that his reputation in the northeast region is relatively large, but in fact it is much more than that.
Zhao Benshan once said that he was indeed in the northeast as he said in this sentence, because almost no ordinary people in the entire northeast did not know him.
We know that the bathing culture of the northeast is very civilized, and the bathing in the northeast is completely different from other regions, most of the northeasterners like to go to the bathing center, once they enter, they will often stay for a day, and Zhao Benshan is naturally also a bathing enthusiast.
He said that when he ate or bathed outside, he almost didn't have to spend money, because the local people knew him, and he intended to stuff money to the other party, but he would still be returned by the other party by all means, which shows how high Zhao Benshan's status in the hearts of the people in the northeast is.
In the eyes of northeasterners, Zhao Benshan is equivalent to the superstar in their minds, because Zhao Benshan has been in the form of a two-person turn since he appeared on the Spring Festival Gala program, and every time in the stage will always reflect the folk art of the two-person turn, and thus promote the industry of the two-person turn, providing a lot of jobs for many young people and middle-aged and elderly people in the northeast, so that the three northeastern provinces have a lot of popularity in the country.
However, as Zhao Benshan, his reputation is polarized, for example, Zhao Benshan once met Feng Xiaogang in an award ceremony, and Feng Xiaogang read the black earth on the original manuscript as an underworld on the spot, which seems to expose something, which seems to echo what we said at the beginning to find Zhao Benshan as soon as there is something to pass through the mountain customs.
Feng Xiaogang naturally realized that he had said the wrong thing, Feng Xiaogang at that time may have been just a joke, but when Zhao Benshan came on stage to receive the award, it was jaw-dropping.
As the old saying goes, hit people without hitting their faces, stretch out their hands and don't hit people with smiley faces, no matter how big a contradiction you have, you can't slap a person's face, especially in public, and when Zhao Benshan came on stage to receive the award, the moment he received the trophy, he directly slapped Feng Xiaogang.
Feng Xiaoang also seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing and offended people, so he could only show an embarrassed smile and shake hands with Zhao Benshan and laugh. After all, Zhao Benshan is a sketch master, going south and north, and also climbing up from the bottom, so his language is still very attractive, in the face of such an embarrassing occasion, he did not turn his face, but used very humorous language to save all this, so that the atmosphere of the scene is quite good, everyone should only watch a sketch show.
Many people can't figure it out, Zhao Benshan is just a sketch actor, how can he have such a high status in the entertainment industry? In fact, Zhao Benshan is not only a sketch actor, he began to lay out his own media company very early, coupled with the representative figure of the northeast region, and many enterprises in the northeast region, as well as big bosses and some high-end people have close contacts, so he has quite a say in the entire northeast region.
The history that can best highlight Zhao Benshan's right to speak, but also to talk about his past with Andy Lau, also made Zhao Benshan famous in a war.
In 2000, Andy Lau won the actor with "secret war", his career was good, and he also started his own national tour, and then Liu Yong also used local contacts and connections to invite Andy Lau to Shenyang to promote his hometown, and also hoped to use Andy Lau's fame to promote the fame of his hometown, at that time a sky-high price, Andy Lau was naturally very satisfied to come to the appointment.
However, Andy Lau had already toured many times before, so after signing the contract, he said that he could no longer sing after singing 26 songs. Liu Yong is naturally very angry, as a big guy, he feels that Andy Lau is just an artist, and I invited you to sing, but you are missing four songs, you simply don't put me in your eyes, where do I put my face?
Andy Lau went to Liu Yong to discuss, but who knew that he was directly slapped by the other party, everyone knows how famous Andy Lau is in Hong Kong, and behind it is Xiang Huaqiang.
No one in Hong Kong dares to make trouble in his concert, but the strong dragon can't suppress the snake, Shenyang's territory, is not what he can say, so Andy Lau went to find Xiang Huaqiang, hoping to make peace from it, but Xiang Huaqiang, who was far away, could not help, so he looked for relationships everywhere and found Zhao Benshan, at that time they did not think that Zhao Benshan was much famous as a sketch actor, but still held the mentality of giving it a try, and found him to talk.
Zhao Benshan was also very fond of Andy Lau at that time, and when he learned that Andy Lau encountered difficulties, he agreed, but he didn't expect that Zhao Benshan would directly settle this matter as soon as he came forward, and therefore Zhao Benshan's reputation in the entire entertainment industry suddenly rose a lot, and it also made many people realize that Zhao Benshan was not just an ordinary sketch actor.
Coincidentally, when Wong Kar-wai was filming a generation of grandmasters, he deliberately went to the northeast to find Zhao Benshan, in order to be able to shoot this movie in the northeast, fortunately Zhao Benshan helped him, and he also successfully filmed the film in the local area with peace of mind.
Zhao Benshan can have such a status, many people will speculate who the capital behind him is, in fact, Zhao Benshan, as a person who climbed up from the bottom, really has no capital.
As a brother of the northeast Zhao Benshan, his life can be called a legend, lost his mother at a young age, his father was taken to the Northern Wilderness to make up for his mistakes, and he only had an eighth-grade elementary school diploma, and later had to enter the society, step by step, to today, in Zhao Benshan's words today, it was quite miserable when he was a child, almost starved to death, at that time, as long as someone gave him a bite to eat, he recognized others as godmothers.
In order to make a living, he learned to play erhu with his blind uncle, and it is precisely like this, he and his uncle all day long on the roadside to play erhu to sell art to make money, but it is also this period of the past that allows Zhao Benshan to better understand the warmth and coldness of people, and can better understand the mixed nature of the characters.
There are all kinds of people in the street, rich or commoners, which also makes Zhao Benshan lay the foundation for his later acting career, and Zhao Benshan's first show on the sketch stage played a blind man who pulled erhu, at the beginning his image was mostly some half-ugly, either blind or old lady.
Most of the time it is a crappy old lady, with a northeastern accent, but it is because of the shaping of such a small person that it has integrated into the hearts of ordinary people, and now Zhao Benshan is different from the past, and now he not only has money, but also has many disciples.
In the early years, Zhao Benshan appeared on a show hosted by Guo Degang, in which Guo Degang discussed his affairs with his apprentice Cao Yunjin and asked Zhao Benshan what he thought.
At that time, Guo Degang intended to accuse Cao Yunjin, saying that Cao Yunjin betrayed the master and did not understand the way of respecting the teacher, but at that time, Zhao Benshan said that the apprentices had their own ideas, and as a master should not think like this, but accused Guo Degang, implying that he was not atmospheric enough, and even more shamefully said that so far none of his apprentices had left his Benshan Media Company, which was used to show how well he seemed to be doing and how competent his master was.
But time has passed, and now looking back, I find that many of Zhao Benshan's apprentices have betrayed the master, and the entire Benshan media has collapsed, first of all, Wang Xiaoli, who played Liu Neng in rural love, has gained countless audiences and fans.
However, he has been unemployed at home since the beginning of the epidemic in 2020, making money by opening a live broadcast, it seems that he also tasted the sweetness, and then Zhao Benshan filmed a new rural love Wang Xiaoli directly quit and did not film, at that time Wang Xiaoli said that I watched a live broadcast to earn tens of millions of comparable, making more money by making TV series, so Wang Xiaoli directly quit Benshan Media, and also insinuated that Zhao Benshan gave too little money.
In addition to Wang Xiaoli, Zhang Yujiao is also a former actor of Benshan Media, but after quitting Benshan Media, she began to spread rumors about the scandal between Zhao Benshan and his apprentice Guan Tingna, and bombarded Zhao Benshan on the Internet, and began to openly accuse Zhao Benshan of misconduct.
In addition, Liu Xiaoguang is the actor of Zhao Si in rural love in Benshan Media, he was also expelled from the division, Liu Xiaoguang is also the most well-known actor, but after becoming popular, he was exposed to sleeping powder, and was also commented by the central media, and then Liu Xiaoguang also opened a live broadcast countless times to bombard Zhao Benshan.
As Zhao Benshan's two most famous apprentices, Song Xiaobao and Xiao Shenyang are not to mention, Xiao Shenyang directly withdrew from Benshan Media after becoming famous, and Zhao Benshan also publicly said that leaving me, you are nothing.
Song Xiaobao has not cooperated with Zhao Benshan for a long time after becoming famous, so on the surface, it seems that the two are still a friendly relationship between master and apprentice, but it is almost difficult for us to see Song Xiaobao in Zhao Benshan's works.
If an apprentice judges out of the master, it may be his fault, but now that so many apprentices have left Zhao Benshan, maybe Zhao Benshan itself does have some problems.
People often say that people who dig wells do not forget to dig wells, but when everything involves interests, it is not just as simple as masters and apprentices, there is no doubt that whether it is Xiao Shenyang or Liu Xiaoguang or Wang Xiaoli.
They were all once the most valued by Zhao Benshan and the most valued members of his disciples, and they had all been loved by Zhao Benshan, but now they all defected from the division without exception, which was undoubtedly a blow to Zhao Benshan, who had already spent his armor.
Now that he has also withdrawn from the entertainment industry, he has also said live that he will consider disbanding Benshan Media, it seems that he is also deeply chilled by the defection of his apprentice and the Benshan Media he founded.
