When it comes to Liu Liu, people's first reaction is Liu Big Head in "Country Love", but in fact, "Liu Big Head" is only the most inconspicuous achievement.
Outside the play, he has studied a lot in crosstalk and sketches, and also worshiped crosstalk master Zhao Chuntian as a teacher, and even Guo Degang, Li Jindou and others have to honor him as a master uncle.
Not only that, Liu Liu also often advises Zhao Benshan and is deeply trusted, and once achieved the position of vice president of Benshan Media, but after that, he decisively left Benshan Media and set up his own portal, so what is going on?
-< childhood experiences>-
In 1963, Liu Liu was born in an ordinary family in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, and although his parents were ordinary farmers, he always doted on Liu Liu and made his childhood life very happy.
Since he was a child, Liu Liu has shown an amazing amount of rice, much larger than children of the same age, so that his physique is correspondingly much stronger than children of the same age, and he especially likes sports.
In such an ice city as Harbin, playing ice hockey is naturally a sport that children like very much, and Liu Liu is no exception, and Liu Liu's father saw that his son liked sports so much and his physique was so strong, so he simply sent his son directly to a sports school to study.
In the sports school, Liu Liu's outstanding ice hockey talent has been reflected, and he is physically strong on the court, like a tank, escorting his teammates to stop the opponent.
However, in addition to playing ice hockey, Liu Liu also has an unknown hobby, that is, crosstalk, in the sports school, he often finds a quiet place alone, holding a radio to listen to the crosstalk tapes inside.
After a long time, he could memorize all the crosstalk jokes word for word, and if he changed others, he would have been tired of hearing them, but Liu Liu still listened to them over and over again.
And crosstalk has also brought changes to Liu Liu's life, and he often shares the jokes he heard with his family and friends, making everyone laugh.
In 1981, when Liu Liu was eighteen years old, when the Heilongjiang Quyi Troupe was officially enrolled, Liu Liu, who loved crosstalk, was about to move, and made up his mind to participate in the registration of the Quyi Troupe.
However, it turns out that enthusiasm alone is not enough, and Liu Liu, who has not undergone any systematic training, was unfortunately eliminated in the first round of interviews...
-< Crosstalk Road>-
After the interview with the Heilongjiang Quyi Troupe was eliminated, Liu Liu did not give up or retreat, and after falling off the list, he put all his savings and energy into learning crosstalk, often studying all day behind closed doors.
Originally, Liu Liu's father did not approve of his son taking the road of crosstalk, and it was not thankful to learn art, and it was even a "lower third-rate" industry in the eyes of some old and old-fashioned people.
However, watching his son study so hard, Liu Liu's father was finally touched by his son, and he couldn't bear to watch his son hit a wall everywhere, determined to help his son enter the Quyi troupe.
In this way, when Liu Liu's father asked for help, Liu Liu got an opportunity to work as a temporary worker in the Heilongjiang Quyi Troupe.
Although there is still a difference between temporary workers and regular workers, there is no establishment that regular workers have, but you can also come into contact with many excellent comedians, and you can learn many things that you can't learn outside.
As a temporary worker, Liu Liu worked hard in the Heilongjiang Quyi Troupe, and was very able to endure hardships, and in order to stay here to learn more things, he rushed to do any dirty work.
And his efforts were not disappointed, in 1988, Liu Liu officially changed from a temporary worker to a regular worker, officially became a member of the Heilongjiang Quyi Troupe, in addition, there was another news that made him happy - Zhao Chuntian old-timers decided to take him as an apprentice!
Since Liu Liu entered the Heilongjiang Quyi Troupe, Zhao Chuntian has been silently paying attention to what this young man has done, and his efforts have been seen by Zhao Chuntian, thinking that this young man is a malleable talent, so he decided to take him as an apprentice.
This can make Li Jindou, who is more than ten years older than Liu Liu, worried, if Zhao Chuntian wants to accept Liu Liu as an apprentice, then he has to call Liu Liu's little uncle, which feels a little strange.
For this reason, Li Jindou also specially went to visit Zhao Chuntian's elder and asked him not to accept any more apprentices, and Zhao Chuntian's old-timer smiled and assured that this must be his last apprentice.
Liu Liu, who worshiped the teacher, did not disappoint Zhao Chuntian, and under the guidance of Zhao Chuntian, Liu Liu's crosstalk technology has improved by leaps and bounds, coupled with his own excellent talent and diligent efforts, he soon began to emerge in the crosstalk world.
In 1984, at the Heilongjiang Crosstalk Competition, Liu Liu met Zhao Benshan, who came to the competition, and after a competition, the two were on par, and finally Liu Liu won the first prize of this competition.
And Liu Liu and Zhao Benshan both appreciated each other's ability very much, and after the game, the two took the initiative to find each other, exchanged contact information with each other, and became a pair of good friends.
In 1992, Liu Liu participated in the National Crosstalk Competition, and the work "Qi Fan Heart" brought by him made the judges and audience laugh, and finally won the highest honor award for crosstalk.
With this work, Liu Liu entered the public's field of vision, became one of the crosstalk actors known and loved by the audience, and even attracted the attention of the Spring Festival Gala program group.
In 1997, Liu Liu partnered with Tang Jiezhong to perform crosstalk "Send Blessing" on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and in 1998, Liu Liu and Zeng Zhiwei and others cooperated to perform the sketch "Weight Loss Variations", which made Liu Liu appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again.
At that time, Liu Liu and Zhao Benshan were both regular guests on the Spring Festival Gala stage, but the two never cooperated, and it was not until 2008 that the two officially collaborated on the Spring Festival Gala stage in the sketch "Torchbearer".
-< joined Motoyama Media >-
The sketch "Torchbearer" between the two was a huge success, and audiences across the country remembered the two funny comedians.
And this cooperation is very tacit, so that each other found the shining point in each other, so the two hit it off and decided to continue to cooperate.
In 2008, two comedians, also from the northeast, officially began to cooperate, and Liu Liu joined Zhao Benshan's company and became the vice president of "Benshan Media", second only to Zhao Benshan.
At the same time, Liu Liu began to join the planning and filming of "Country Love", playing the role of "Liu Big Head" in the play, not only that, but outside the play, he was also one of the screenwriters who advised the script.
With the joint efforts of Liu Liu and Zhao Benshan, a classic work "Country Love" was born, and as soon as this drama was screened, it immediately swept the country and was loved by many audiences.
The funny lines of the characters in the play, warm and down-to-earth daily life, make the audience laugh and feel very cordial at the same time, this drama has achieved great success, Liu Liu's efforts are indispensable.
However, at that time, many people did not know the silent dedication behind Liu Liu, and only regarded him as an ordinary artist who relied on Zhao Benshan to become popular like other disciples of the Zhao family class.
-What is the current situation of < self-reliant portal>-
When "Country Love VIII" was released, an attentive audience found that the actor of Liu's big head was changed, no longer the familiar Liu Liu, but another actor.
For a while, rumors were spreading, and many netizens speculated that Liu Liu left Zhao Benshan and left Benshan Media after becoming famous, but everyone's speculation was not groundless, because the Zhao family class at that time was going downhill for various reasons.
In 2016, "Da Sheng Wanhe Film and Television Media Company" was established, and the president was Liu Liu himself, which seemed to confirm the audience's statement about abandoning Zhao Benshan to set up his own portal, and for a while many people thought that Liu Liu was ungrateful and not a good person.
Until later, a disciple of the Zhao family class came out to refute the rumors, saying that Master Zhao Benshan and Liu Liu had cooperated for many years, and the two had always had a good relationship, and many affairs in "Benshan Media" were decided under the joint discussion of the two.
And Liu Liu, as a very good comedian in himself, it is actually understandable to leave "Benshan Media", because Liu Liu himself can make a difference with his own ability.
Today, Liu Liu is still working hard for the comedy career, often preparing to shoot his own films, and his position in the comedy industry is self-evident, and naturally there are many people willing to support him and participate in his films.
And Zhao Benshan often let his apprentices go to Liu Liu's movies to help star, and the relationship between the two has been very good, and Liu Liu's movie "The Bull's Head Is Not to the Horse's Mouth" released by Liu Liu Company in 2021 also achieved very good results.
After Liu Liu's company gradually stabilized, Zhao Benshan invited him back to star in "Country Love", and Liu Liu also gladly agreed, so, in "Country Love Fourteen", the familiar Liu Big Head returned.
However, it is ridiculous to say that Liu Liu did not become popular at the Spring Festival Gala in eight years, and after leaving Benshan Media to start another mountain, he accepted two good apprentices, but he achieved both fame and fortune.
-< Epilogue>-
The former Liu Liu was not smooth sailing on the road to learning crosstalk, but he did not give up or slump, on the contrary, with his enthusiasm and hard work, he moved Zhao Chuntian and became his closed disciple.
After becoming famous, he has also been deeply engaged in his comedy career, not only appearing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala many times, but also cooperating with Zhao Benshan to create the classic "Country Love" series.
Today's Liu Liu, although he has set up his own door and opened a new chapter in his career, he still maintains a deep friendship with Zhao Benshan, and I believe that with his excellent comedy skills, he will definitely be able to bring more and better comedy works to everyone!
