In the Spring Festival of 1987, CCTV held a grand Spring Festival Gala as scheduled. As a popular sketch actor, Yang Lei was also invited to participate. This is the first time she has stood on such a grand stage as the Spring Festival Gala, and she is inevitably nervous.
As soon as she heard the host announce the appearance, Yang Lei nervously confirmed the lines repeatedly, for fear that something would go wrong. She paced anxiously back and forth backstage, taking deep breaths to try to calm herself.
At this time, Dai Zhicheng, a young actor on the side, noticed that something was wrong with Yang Lei. He could see the nervousness in Yang Lei's heart, because he had also experienced the panic of appearing on the big stage for the first time.
Dai Zhicheng took the initiative to walk over and said to Yang Lei gently: "Hello, I see that you are a little nervous. I understand the feeling, and I was so nervous that I was throwing up when I was on TV for the first time.
But as long as you bring your usual state up, you can naturally play yourself. Come on, you're going to behave well.
Yang Lei looked up at the young man who took the initiative to give encouragement, and the anxiety in her heart subsided a little. She nodded gratefully and chatted with Dai Zhicheng. The topic of conversation between the two ranged from nervousness to all kinds of interesting things about performing on stage, and also talked about future ideals.
This kind of conversation makes the time waiting for the stage pass in laughter, and also calms the two nervous hearts.
Smoothly entered the palace of marriage
The backstage encounter at the Spring Festival Gala made Yang Lei and Dai Zhicheng form a deep friendship. Yang Lei has jumped from a small newcomer to a well-known comedian, while Dai Zhicheng is still unknown.
However, the two still often correspond, Yang Lei will tell Dai Zhicheng about the troubles at work, and Dai Zhicheng always listens carefully and tries his best to give advice.
After three years of acquaintance, Dai Zhicheng gradually made a secret promise to Yang Leifang. He values Yang Lei's lively and generous personality, and also appreciates her enthusiastic pursuit of her career. On a warm spring day in 1990, Dai Zhicheng finally mustered up the courage to confess his heart to Yang Lei.
The cheerful Yang Lei gladly accepted, and the two successfully entered the palace of marriage.
After marriage, life is plain and warm, Yang Lei concentrates on her career, and Dai Zhicheng takes care of housework. Yang Lei's sketch career is thriving, but Dai Zhicheng's career is tepid.
Yang Lei couldn't stand it, and decided to use the network resources she had accumulated to pave the way for Dai Zhicheng.
Connections help your career take off
Yang Lei has accumulated a lot of network resources with her years of acting career, and decided to use these resources to help her husband Dai Zhicheng. In 1995, Yang Lei specially introduced Dai Zhicheng to the popular cross talk actor Jiang Kun.
The two sides hit it off at first sight and decided to try to work together.
Under Yang Lei's matchmaking, Dai Zhicheng and Jiang Kun soon became proud partners. The works of the two are very popular, and Dai Zhicheng has slowly emerged on the stage from a small role.
The opportunity to be introduced by Yang Lei has achieved the take-off of Dai Zhicheng's career.
Watching her husband's career progress and standing on a bigger stage, Yang Lei was sincerely happy for him. She also let go of the extra burden of taking care of her family and pursued her career wholeheartedly.
Both of them have successful careers and live sweet and happy lives.
Marriage Announcement, Sadness and Joy
While everything seems to be going in a good direction, a rift in the marriage quietly arises. In 2004, Yang Lei, whose career was at its peak, suddenly received a call from Dai Zhicheng asking for a divorce.
Shocked, she hurried home to ask her husband where this sudden decision came from.
It turned out that in recent years, the two of them have gathered less and left more, and Dai Zhicheng and Yang Lei's best friend Yuan Yin have frequent exchanges on matters such as taking care of the children, which has inadvertently sparked a spark of love between the two parties.
The two decided to divorce separately.
Shocked. She burst into tears and was unwilling to give up. But in the end, it failed to save this seemingly happy marriage.
Marriage is controversial, and the injury is difficult to heal
After the divorce, Dai Zhicheng soon entered the marriage hall with Yang Lei's friend Yuan Yin. The combination of the two has caused a lot of turmoil in the cross talk industry, and many peers jokingly call it "entrusting a wife and children".
Because Yuan Yin's ex-husband Hou Yaowen is Dai Zhicheng's uncle, such a combination is considered to hurt the rules of the cross talk world.
This divorce and reorganization hurt Yang Lei particularly deeply. Her friends turned against her, her career was sluggish, and she almost fell into severe depression. Fortunately, her father was sick and needed to be taken care of, so Yang Lei did not completely give up on herself.
However, most of the vitality of life was taken away by this blow, and Yang Lei faded out of the entertainment industry for many years. After all, there is a limit to the scars that time can heal, and the disappointment in friendship and marriage is even more difficult to let go.
Time is the enemy, but the truth is determined
After years of ups and downs, the scarred Yang Lei finally got back on her feet. She gradually came out of the shadow caused by the breakdown of friendships and failed marriages, and regained her passion for life and the stage.
At the same time, after the turmoil subsided, Dai Zhicheng's career also ushered in a new peak. Once upon a time, both of them were popular stars, but their fates were different due to the twists and turns of their feelings.
The gap in fate does not mean the final success. Yang Lei, who has gone through hardships, has rekindled her expectations for the future. I believe that with her strength and charisma, she will once again stand on her own stage.
When the gloom clears, she will show a more dazzling demeanor than before.
