In 2009, Zhao Benshan spent 200 million yuan to buy a private jet, as the first artist in the mainland entertainment industry to buy a private jet, Zhao Benshan's move caused quite a stir.
Zhao Benshan responded in an interview to why he wanted to buy a private jet, he said: First of all, he sees that many Hollywood stars have their own private jets, and for the sake of the country and image, he also hopes to have a flight tool of his own.
In addition, because he performs very frequently and often travels with his group, owning a private jet can greatly improve his work efficiency, allowing him to go straight home after the show, avoiding the inconvenience of frequent round-trips and long-haul flights.
But for Zhao Benshan's explanation, Wang Sicong, who was the "Discipline Inspection Commission of the Entertainment Industry" at the time, did not accept it, and he directly issued an angry reprimand: Zhao Benshan is a farmer, no matter how much money he has, he will always be a farmer, he buys the plane for installation, and rents it out after buying, farmer?
Regarding Wang Sicong's naming accusations and insults, Zhao Benshan did not become angry, but said earnestly in the interview: Children, don't talk nonsense.
In just a few words, Wang Sicong's arrogance was immediately eliminated, after all, even if Zhao Benshan was born as a farmer, but with his own efforts, he earned money to buy the first private jet of an artist in the entertainment industry. And Wang Sicong's biggest name is just a rich second generation, if he is also a farmer, he must not have Zhao Benshan's ability, and now he is still a farmer.
Most importantly, Zhao Benshan said that he did not buy a private jet for enjoyment, because there are many people in the company and there are many people going out. China's economic prospects will be very good, and he buys planes to make money, not for pleasure. Obviously, Zhao Benshan has a very clear plan for the use of the aircraft, not to show that he has money.
Of course, as Zhao Benshan himself said, since he bought a private jet, it was indeed because he had money, and now he told others that no one would believe him if he had no money. Spending your own money does not harm anyone's interests, and those who are not used to it are just red-eyed.
After ridiculing Zhao Benshan for buying a private jet as a farmer, Wang Sicong also bought a private jet, but the confidence of the rich second generation lies in this, people buy private jets purely for fun, and also took a special plane to pick up his dog back to Beijing to avoid the rain, at that time, he also specially posted a circle of friends.
At that time, Zhou Hongyi, the president of 360, who was a friend of Wang Sicong, did not know the situation, and also commented: "Can you take a dog on the plane?"
Wang Sicong replied lightly: "Private jets are fine." ”
In addition to Wang Sicong, even Chow Yun-fat has commented on Zhao Benshan's purchase of a private jet, although he is not as angry as Wang Sicong, but the weird appearance of yin and yang is even more contemptible.
In fact, before Zhao Benshan appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, he had an intersection with Chow Yun-fat, and Zhao Benshan was already very popular in the Northeast at that time. Once, Zhao Benshan and Chow Yun-fat were jointly invited to cut the ribbon for a hotel. At that time, Chow Yun-fat had already become popular across the Taiwan Strait with "Xu Wenqiang" and "Little Brother Ma". After the ribbon cutting, many fans wanted to come forward and take photos with their idol Chow Yun-fat.
So almost everyone at the scene stepped forward to surround Chow Yun-fat, and no one paid attention to Zhao Benshan at all, and Zhao Benshan was directly squeezed down by the crowd.
It can be said that Chow Yun-fat at that time was a veritable big name, and in his eyes, Zhao Benshan was just a small folk artist, and he was not worthy of attending events with him at all.
Many years later, when Zhao Benshan met Chow Yun-fat again, Zhao Benshan's changes were unexpected. Xiao Transparent, who was squeezed aside by the crowd back then, has already become a representative of the sketch industry and has become the "sketch king".
In addition to the artistic growth, the change in Zhao Benshan's identity made Chow Yun-fat call "amazing", in the final analysis, it is because of Zhao Benshan's private jet.
Chow Yun-fat said in an interview: "He (Zhao Benshan) is now on a private jet, his identity is different, he is the boss, not a farmer, and he has a bodyguard." ”
Although it was finally summed up that Zhao Benshan was amazing, the first few sentences of "The identity is different, I am not a farmer, and now I am on a private jet", it still sounds yin and yang.
In fact, Chow Yun-fat has always looked down on mainlanders, in the early years he once smashed a cake on Li Zhi's face at a dinner party, at that time Li Zhi was a newcomer who had just arrived in Hong Kong to develop, at an awards ceremony, Chow Yun-fat also used to have a yin and yang weird connotation Zhang Ziyi "obedient and taught to pick up grapes" and so on.
Speaking of Zhao Benshan's private jet, in fact, after buying this private jet, the whole family regretted it a little. Because the private jet that cost 200 million yuan cannot be sold at half price, and the parking fee for parking at Shenyang Airport for one night is as high as 20,000 yuan. The fuel cost is as high as 15,000 yuan for one hour of start-up, and the annual maintenance cost is as high as 5 million yuan.
In this regard, some netizens gave Zhao Benshan a trick, which can be opened to Internet celebrities to take pictures, so that the parking fee can easily come back.
What do you think about Zhao Benshan's purchase of a private jet and the attitudes of Wang Sicong and Chow Yun-fat?
