Cai Ming has played various roles, from girls to old ladies, from foreigners to robots, and as a frequent guest of the Spring Festival Gala, she has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala 27 times in a row.
She is not so much a national first-class actor or the queen of the sketch world, but more like a close friend by our side.
But I don't know when this old friend was nicknamed "plastic surgery monster" and "facial paralysis" by everyone.
Born in Beijing in 1961 to a university professor and a doctor, Cai Ming grew up in a warm environment like a flower in a greenhouse.
Cai Ming, who has loved literature and art since he was a child, likes to sing, dance, and perform, and is lively and cute.
When I was a student, Beijing Film Studio was preparing a movie and needed to play the role of "Xiao Haixia".
Cai Ming was lucky to be one of the candidates, standing out and impressing with his superb acting skills and innocent smile.
After graduating from junior high school, she joined the Beijing Film Studio Repertory Troupe and became one of the youngest actors at that time.
Although she was originally positioned as a temperament actress, Cai Ming unexpectedly became a sketch actor with no image.
In 1990, Cai Ming starred in her first sketch role "Planit's Long Hair", and when she heard the audience's warm applause, a special emotion emerged in her heart.
Compared with the performance in front of the camera, this form of performance that directly feels the happiness of the audience is more in line with her own characteristics.
Subsequently, Cai Ming seized the opportunity to cooperate with Gong Hanlin, appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, and became famous with "Stranger".
Immediately afterwards, she co-starred with Guo Da in the sketch "Loess Slope", and their wonderful performances won unanimous recognition from the audience.
Since then, they have worked together for 15 years and become a golden pair.
Every year in the Spring Festival Gala, they will present some classic works, such as "Father", "Robot Funny Stories", "Beijing Welcomes You", "Gifts" and so on.
After Guo Da withdrew from the Spring Festival Gala, Cai Ming chose to partner with another comedian, Pan Changjiang.
After that, Cai Ming's styling style changed dramatically, she began to create a tight and sexy image, and then her performance style also changed to a poisonous old lady.
In the work, she teased Pan Changjiang's height, although it was for the effect, but her sharp and unique voice made people feel that she spoke with thorns.
So much so that in his later life, he was attacked and boycotted by many young netizens.
Cai Ming, who has been on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for 27 consecutive years, suffered a "rollover" incident, especially Cai Ming in the eyes of young people, his reputation and reputation are not very good.
Some people even called Cai Ming "addicted to plastic surgery", saying that she has a "plastic surgery face", "monster face" and so on.
All kinds of vicious words attacked Cai Ming, and from everyone cheering, it became a veritable "everyone stepped on".
In the face of all the ridicule, Cai Ming accepted it calmly, and even admitted that he had made minor adjustments, and said: "I want to keep up with the pace of young people, and I am afraid of being eliminated."
Although she said these words with a smile, there was sadness in them.
In the 2020 Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Rat, the audience did not see Cai Ming, the "Spring Festival Gala regular" who has participated in it for 27 consecutive years, was canceled in the Year of the Rat program.
As an actor, she has been amusing the audience for half her life, but in exchange for mixed reputations.
Although the performance brought her countless accolades, she also suffered many verbal battles, which made her very sad.
Now that she is old, she no longer has the strength to go on stage again.
Cai Ming said: "The Spring Festival Gala will never come back."
Although there is a lot of reluctance, it cannot change the fact that the years are unforgiving.
