preface
In an interview, Zhao Benshan implicitly ridiculed Fan Wei, a proud disciple of his disciple. The phrase "How old is Fan Wei's wrist now, he is no longer the elementary school student he was back then" seems to indicate that the two will go to different life paths.
At that time, public opinion almost unone-sidedly believed that without Zhao Benshan's protection, Fan Wei's future would be bumpy and difficult. But time is the best proof, 18 years of ups and downs, 18 years of perseverance, Fan Wei with his strength and talent to prove how wise and correct his choice is.
Looking back on that period of history, one cannot but admire how the once questioned decision shaped a new, pinnacle Fan Wei.
The history of Fan Wei and Zhao Benshan has its roots in the Tieling Cultural Troupe, a brief intersection that became their later common cornerstone. At the 1992 Spring Festival Gala, a phone call from Zhao Benshan brought the two closer. Although the initial cooperation did not go as it should, Fan Wei's calmness and kindness made Zhao Benshan see a partner with unlimited potential. The stage of the 1995 Spring Festival Gala finally opened for Fan Wei and opened the door to fame for him.
Since then, Fan Wei has begun his brilliant journey in the entertainment industry. His partner with Zhao Benshan paved the way for him to create a number of classic works together. His acting career seems to be closely related to Zhao Benshan, until the disappearance of Fan Wei after the Spring Festival Gala in 2005 caused a rift in this partnership.
With the passage of time, Fan Wei is no longer satisfied with the sketch stage in his acting career, and his heart has flown to a broader sky. Family considerations and career pursuits made him make the decision to part ways with Zhao Benshan. Although Zhao Benshan was uncomfortable with this, Fan Wei's choice was for his family and personal artistic pursuits.
The relationship between Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei is very similar to the relationship between Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda, knowing the grace of encounter, working hand in hand, but after all, they are two different life trajectories. Zhao Benshan's life goals span career, wealth and fame, and he is pursuing a higher platform, a position where he can rule and influence. Fan Wei, on the other hand, is more inclined to become a pure actor who focuses on art, and he pursues the refinement and perfection of art.
In 2019, the news of "Liu Laogen 3" working together again was a pleasant surprise, but it also showed the deep affection and friendship that has always existed between the two. Fan Wei's return is not only a tribute to Zhao Benshan, but also a remembrance of the good time they spent together.
On April 22, the Chinese entertainment industry ushered in a suspenseful masterpiece warmly welcomed by the audience - "The Long Season", with a remarkable Douban score of 9.4 points. This drama, directed by Xin Shuang and with a linkage cast of Qin Hao, Liu Lin and Shi Pengyuan, has not only been loved by the audience, but also triggered the "Fan Wei Blowing" trend on the whole network.
"The Long Season" allowed Fan Wei to prove his acting strength again. His soulful and simple performance has become a "theatrical eye" in the play, with a glance, he can bring the audience into the tragic and happy life of the characters he portrays. In the play, he shows people a sense of true feelings on the ground, does not rely on exaggerated performance, but impresses every audience with soulful performance.
His performance adds a bit of tragedy, so that when people see him, they are no longer laughing, but tears. He himself confessed in an interview that as he gets older, he wants to try more complex roles, hoping not just to become a well-known actor, but a better actor.
Looking back at Fan Wei's career, we can see that he was not an actor from the beginning. In fact, he started out as a comedian. However, his career transition was very successful and he has now grown from a "sketch actor" to a "performance artist". This transformation is inseparable from his years of hard work and research, and also highlights his inner artistic pursuit and breakthrough spirit.
The director of "The Long Season" Xin Shuang managed to create a bright and sunny backdrop that contrasted with its theme, and the wonderful performance of the entire cast added a lot to the plot. Especially Fan Wei, who once again proved with his acting skills that he is an acting treasure in the mainland entertainment industry.
Now, when we mention Fan Wei, we think not only of his humorous and funny image, but also of the recognition and honors he has received at major awards. All this proves that whether on stage or in front of the screen, Fan Wei is able to conquer the audience with his performances and present his diversified artistic charm.
It is undeniable that Fan Wei and Zhao Benshan have different career paths and artistic pursuits. But whether on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala or in front of the screens of movies and TV series, they have all demonstrated their artistic talents and attitudes to life in their own ways, and have become an indispensable part of China's entertainment industry.
Fan Wei once praised another excellent actor Zhang Songwen in an interview, and the two collaborated on the movie "Uninvited Guest". Like Zhang Songwen, Fan Wei's performance has also been hotly discussed and praised by the whole network, showing his status as a god in acting skills.
Fan Wei's acting career has not been smooth sailing. He has played numerous roles, including the humorous Van der Biao, a role that has become one of his hallmarks. However, over time, he continued to challenge himself, try new roles and theatrical paths, and finally transformed from a "sketch actor" to a "performance artist", a path that also witnessed his spirit of continuous efforts and breakthroughs.
