Preface:
In today's society, the popularity of the media has made every move of celebrities attract attention, and their behavior has become a weather vane for society. However, some people hide hidden hidden truths behind the shiny surface, exposing the lack of moral concepts.
Background:
Zhu Shimao's road to growth was full of ups and downs, born in Yantai, Shandong Province in 1954, he was the child of a poor family, with a total of ten siblings, five boys and five girls, he was the sixth oldest.
However, life for this family was not easy, especially when Zhu Shimao was 12 years old, his father passed away, leaving a large family of children to face even more difficult challenges. Zhu Shimao recalls that when he was in middle school, he had very little pocket money a week and could only buy cheap food.
But fortunately, Zhu Shimao's mother is a strong woman. She raised these ten children alone, and with her hard work and tenacity, raised them as independent people.
Zhu Shimao said: "She is always busy and never idle. From morning to night, she either repairs things, works in the yard or field, and at night is busy peeling peanuts, squeezing peanut oil, and making peanut cakes. ”
When Zhu Shimao was 16 years old, he left his hometown to become a soldier and spent two years in the military. In the army, he showed excellent performance, was favored by the leadership, and then was transferred to the military district drama troupe and began his career as an actor.
The Road to Fame:
After spending five years in the repertory theater, Zhu Shimao's artistic level has greatly improved. However, it was at the beginning of his career that the chance of a film changed his destiny.
It was in 1975, when the Beijing Film Studio planned to make a movie called "Children of Xisha", and Zhu Shimao happened to be selected to play the role of Fu Hailong in the film. Although the film was not released in the end for various special reasons, it opened the door for Zhu Shimao to enter the entertainment industry. More importantly, this opportunity allowed him to enter the field of vision of some highly respected directors, including Xie Jin.
Soon after, the famous director Xie Jin planned to shoot a movie called "Wrangler" and directly named Zhu Shimao to star. After a period of acting tuning, Zhu Shimao gradually had a similar temperament and charm to the character Xu Lingjun he played in the film.
At this time, Xie Jin found the young and promising actor Cong Shan from the Central Academy of Drama, and this tacit partner made the team of the movie "Wrangler" condensed and formed. After several years of shooting and production, this anticipated film was finally presented in front of the audience.
The success of "Wrangler" not only proved the unique vision of director Xie Jin, but also made the two actors Zhu Shimao and Cong Shan quickly popular. The audience was impressed by the couple's wonderful performance on the big screen.
It is said that Zhu Shimao and Cong Shan were so deeply involved on the set that they almost came together in real life. However, because Zhu Shimao was already married at that time, this love story eventually became a "20-year agreement", and they decided to continue to play the role of husband and wife in the future.
This agreement eventually became a reality. After "Wrangler", Zhu Shimao and Cong Shan also co-starred in other movies twice as "screen couples", continuing to show their tacit understanding and acting skills.
Due to the great success of "Wrangler", Zhu Shimao attracted the attention of Bayi Film Studio and officially transformed from a literary group to a professional actor in 1983. At that time, Zhu Shimao's fame was comparable to Chen Peisi.
Chen Peisi played the role of "second son" in the movie "Xizhao Street", one of the first drama series in China, and also Chen Peisi's exclusive role. At Bayi Film Studio, Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi met and quickly became friends like brothers.
With the help of Cong Shan, Zhu Shimao successfully created the classic character of "Xu Lingjun". At Bayi Film Studio, he continued his legendary acting career, cooperating with Chen Peisi to bring more wonderful performances to the audience.
On the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 1984, director Huang Yihe faced a serious problem: the number of programs was scarce, the content was single, and the audience's entertainment experience was far from rich enough. He often drank with Chen Peisi's father to find a solution.
One day, Huang Yihe came to the rehearsal site of Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao by chance and was attracted by the humorous talents of the two young actors. This inspired him, and he decided to have Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao collaborate on a new show. So they began planning their first sketch, which would become the popular "Eating Noodles".
At first, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao did not have much confidence, but in the rehearsal, their performance was unexpectedly good, and the audience laughed at the scene. After some detailed polishing and refinement, their work finally debuted on the spring evening of 1984, causing a sensation. This sketch not only increased the fame of Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, but also created a new form of comedy - sketches. Until then, people had hardly heard of the word "sketch".
For the post-90s generation, they may always remember Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's "white cloud and black soil"; For the post-00s, Shen Teng and Ma Li are the best choices in the field of sketches. But for the audience of the post-70s and 80s, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao represent the laughter of an era.
After "Eating Noodles", Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala almost every year, creating a series of classic sketches, such as "Pepper Noodles", "Protagonist and Supporting Role", "Brother-in-law and Brother-in-law" and "Big Change Living People" and so on. Their cooperation has made the sketch program of the Spring Festival Gala, and the CCTV Spring Festival Gala also provides a broader stage for their combination, which can be described as a mutual benefit.
However, in 1998, after Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao collaborated on "Wang Ye and the Postman", they never appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again. It all started with an incident in 1999.
At that time, due to the lack of good ideas, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao refused the invitation to participate in the 1999 Spring Festival Gala. For some reason, CCTV decided to burn their classic sketches, including 8 programs such as "Eating Noodles" and "Police and Thief", on discs, and VCDs were very popular at the time.
The decision sparked controversy, and Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao chose to sue CCTV. Although they eventually received 160,000 yuan in compensation, they were also "banned" by CCTV. However, Chen Peisi insisted that this was the first time they had said "no" to CCTV and had no regrets.
After CCTV's blockade, Chen Peisi turned to the business world, and although he had some savings before, he lost a lot due to his lack of business acumen. After that, he returned to his profession and began to achieve good results in the field of drama.
Zhu Shimao continued to stay in the film and television industry, focusing on the performance of film and television works. This choice is not without reason, because in addition to sketch performances, he has also starred in many successful film and television works, and "Fog House" with Chen Hong is one of them.
Wife Fan Xuxia:
In the Fuzhou Military Region's Cultural Troupe, Zhu Shimao and Fan Xuxia were colleagues, both from Shandong Yan. This common hometown became an opportunity for them to meet and laid the groundwork for their relationship. Zhu Shimao always felt that Fan Xuxia gave him a sense of intimacy, so the two quickly developed feelings for each other, and then naturally determined each other's love relationship.
Zhu Shimao's conditions were quite excellent, and he was soon selected by a director to join the film crew. This opportunity undoubtedly encouraged him, but at the same time, he also began to worry that the gap between the two would grow and eventually lead to separation. He sincerely assured Fan Xuxia that no matter what happened, he would keep his distance. Subsequently, he applied to marry Fan Xuxia, who was two years older than him.
For such a frank husband, Fan Xuxia was very moved, but she did not expect that Zhu Shimao would be involved in an affair with actress Cong Shan just after filming his first play.
Cong Shan had a strong affection for Zhu Shimao, and she felt that Zhu Shimao was tall and handsome, and her manners were elegant. In the play, the emotional scenes of the two are also very good, so that many people began to speculate whether they were really secretly composing a love story when they performed in front of the scenes.
Despite such scandals, both have firmly denied these rumors. However, whenever talking about Cong Shan, Zhu Shimao always expressed his praise without hesitation, and even said: "Cong Shan is very suitable for being a wife, but it is a pity that a man can only marry one wife." ”
Fan Xuxia is undoubtedly an excellent wife, Zhu Shimao has a total of nine siblings in the family, and Zhu Shimao is the best of them. For years, Zhu Shimao and Fan Xuxia have been supporting the family, not only providing pensions to parents, but also providing school expenses for younger siblings, as well as financial support for older siblings in case of emergency. Because the financial situation of the two has been unstable, they have not dared to have children.
However, Fan Xuxia never complained about this, and she has always supported Zhu Shimao without complaint, helping to take care of his family. It was not until her younger brothers and sisters had already started a family that Fan Xuxia bravely gave birth to their son, named Zhu Qingyang.
However, with the arrival of the child, Fan Xuxia's life became more complicated. Zhu Shimao is a strong person, and his family has always been his word. He insisted that Fan Xuxia undergo a caesarean section, and after the child was one year old, he asked her to take the film and television production course at the Beijing Film Academy. After Fan Xuxia had just established herself in the workplace, Zhu Shimao followed Jackie Chan and sent her and her son abroad for further study, while she stayed in China and enjoyed a free life. All this made Fan Xuxia in a dilemma between her mother and her career.
Domestic fooling:
In 2012, Zhu Shimao invested in making movies and found popular actress Li Xiaoran to star. Late at night, the two were photographed holding hands, which triggered speculation and suspicion from the outside world. Li Xiaoran's delicate figure and flowing long hair seemed to make Zhu Shimao move. After the filming of the movie, the two often meet up, and at night, they walk hand in hand. This scandal gave Zhu Shimao's reputation the first heavy blow.
Subsequently, he kissed actress Du Minglei in the underground garage, and the next day, the relationship between the two was made public. Zhu Shimao no longer seemed to be able to hide his infidelity, despite his attempts at quibbling. The facts are clear, and his reputation has been permanently damaged.
Following Li Xiaoran and Du Minglei, Zhu Shimao was exposed to scandals with other actresses. Every time this news came out, he always found various reasons to explain, however, the public no longer believed his excuses. His wife, Fan Xuxia, has come forward many times to defend his reputation, but her heart is full of pain. For many years, she took care of her son abroad alone, while Zhu Shimao continued to sink in domestic scandals.
In 2017, Zhu Shimao was again photographed kissing a young beauty, and although he tried to deny it, the breaking news media released a video that clearly recorded their intimate behavior. In 2019, he was once again involved in the "kissing door" scandal, this time dozens of years younger than him.
Scandal after scandal exposed, Zhu Shimao always tried to quibble, however, the evidence was always conclusive. He gradually became a notorious person, from the former "sketch king" to the "thief king". His actions seriously damaged social morality and made many people disappointed in marriage and fame and fortune.
Most shockingly, a 2021 video showed Zhu Shimao asking a young woman to hug and the other party looked overwhelmed. He asked directly: "What's wrong with hugging you?" The people at the scene were booing, and he hugged the girl proudly, completely lacking the proportions that a married person should have.
Epilogue:
In the story of Zhu Shimao, a former sketch king and a veteran actor in the entertainment industry, we see a complex and contradictory image. His professional achievements are undoubtedly respectable, but at the same time, various scandals and behaviors in his personal life have caused widespread controversy.
This story reminds us of an important point that career success does not always go hand in hand with personal character. Sometimes, the image people present in public may differ from their private lives. This discrepancy can provoke public questioning and disappointment because public figures are widely expected to act as role models and demonstrate honesty, loyalty, and moral qualities in life.
Zhu Shimao's story also makes us think about the relationship between honor and morality. No matter how much a person's achievements are, if he does not have honesty and loyalty in his private life, his reputation can be damaged as a result. In the entertainment industry, where scenery and shadows coexist, Zhu Shimao's experience is a clear example of how to cherish and protect our personal morality and family values while pursuing professional success.
