Once upon a time, Zhao Benshan was a household name as the "King of Spring Festival Gala Sketches", favored and loved by the audience. The Zhao family team under him is also known and known, and is envied by countless people in the outside world.
From obscurity to today's peak achievements, Zhao Benshan has used his tireless efforts and tenacious perseverance to come over step by step.
Who would have expected that just when Zhao Benshan's career was at its peak, his aura quickly dimmed. Zhao Jiaban, a highly regarded comedy team back then, has now fallen into unprecedented chaos and infighting.
The once loyal apprentices now raised their anti-flags one after another, openly expressing their dissatisfaction and resistance to Zhao Benshan. Some simply chose to leave Zhao's class and tearfully dismantled the gang.
Even Zhao Benshan's most proud apprentices, such as Wang Xiaobao and Ge Shanshan, have now "evaporated from the world" one after another, and their "love for Zhao Jiaban has gone empty". Seeing that the iron bridge and iron camp of the year are now falling apart, Zhao Benshan is undoubtedly in the biggest predicament of his life.
As a generation of grandmasters in the comedy world, who would have thought that he would suffer such a "betrayal and separation"? The causes and consequences of the whole thing are staggering, but it can only show that Zhao Benshan does have many omissions and deficiencies in managing interpersonal relationships.
It all started a few years ago. At that time, Zhao Benshan, who was infinitely beautiful, was at the peak of his career. He galloped in the comedy world and stood alone in the world, and the Zhao Jiaban team also became famous and popular all over the country.
But who would have thought that this seemingly tall and leafy tree is now crumbling and will be uprooted by the apprentices at any time.
Grievances and contradictions
A few years ago, when Zhao Benshan's career encountered a bottleneck and the expansion of the northern and southern markets was in trouble, Huang Hong generously donated money to create an excellent script for Zhao Benshan, which finally made him set sail and regain a new height in his career.
At that time, Huang Hong could be said to be Zhao Benshan's most reliable confidant. In the face of Zhao Benshan's distress and confusion, Huang Hong didn't say a word, stepped forward and personally worried about him.
Huang Hong's painstaking writing of the script not only has a vivid and interesting plot, but also fits Zhao Benshan's consistent comedy style, allowing him to regain his confidence on stage and arouse bursts of laughter from the audience.
It is with Huang Hong, a friend of "the grace of encounter", that Zhao Benshan was able to come out of the trough and continue to work the road of comedy. At that time, Zhao Benshan was undoubtedly grateful in his heart, and he sincerely regarded Huang Hong as his closest help and reliance.
The good times didn't last long, and not long after, Zhao Benshan actually did something to hurt Huang Hong. Back then, Huang Hong and Song Dandan were the most beautiful pair of partners in the cross talk industry, and the two were full of tacit understanding and wonderful on the stage.
Every work they collaborated on was widely acclaimed and a sensation.
But Song Dandan once said goodbye to the stage because of personal matters, and the cooperation with Huang Hong had to be interrupted. Just when Huang Hong was preparing for his new work "Cheer Up" and looking forward to joining forces with Song Dandan again, Zhao Benshan actually poached Song Dandan and "kidnapped her halfway" to cooperate with him.
For a while, Huang Hong fell into extreme shock and anger. Although Zhao Benshan knew that he and Song Dandan had been partners for many years, and that his new work would be successful just one step away, why did he still obstruct it? Zhao Benshan's unexpected act of "digging into the wall" undoubtedly wiped out the former revolutionary friendship.
From that moment on, Huang Hong's grievances against Zhao Benshan were heartfelt. Although the good friendship between the two for many years can no longer be restored, Huang Hong's original favor to Zhao Benshan will never be forgotten.
It is this unrelieved ambivalence that makes Huang Hong unable to truly let go until today, and the relationship between the two has fallen into a cold and evil situation.
In addition to his friends, even Zhao Benshan's most proud apprentices also brought him endless troubles. Counting it carefully, the first is the grievances and hatreds with Fan Wei.
This has to start with the rehearsal of a stage play "Uncle Niu Tigan" in 1995. At that time, the crew suddenly lost an actor, and the shortage of personnel made the producer anxious.
At this juncture, Zhao Benshan had a discerning eye and gladly accepted Fan Wei, who was still a newcomer in the entertainment industry at the time, to join the crew.
With his outstanding acting skills and perseverance, Fan Wei became a blockbuster in this play, which made Zhao Benshan full of praise. Since then, Zhao Benshan has become more and more interested in Fan Wei and loves him like his own "godson".
The friendship between the two masters and apprentices also formed an unbreakable revolutionary friendship.
Later, as Fan Wei's career soared and his fame soared, he began to have higher career aspirations. As an actor, of course, Fan Wei also hopes to be able to distribute according to his work and share the rich performance income he deserves.
But Zhao Benshan obviously found it difficult to understand Fan Wei's mentality. As a master, he believes that it is his own support and careful cultivation that has enabled his apprentice to achieve such achievements today.
So when Fan Wei took the initiative to ask Zhao Benshan for a reasonable account split, Zhao Benshan gave him a measly 7,000 yuan without mentioning a word.
In this regard, Fan Wei's friend Gao Xiumin saw it in her eyes and was angry, and she denounced Zhao Benshan for "valuing interests and ignoring morality". When Gao Xiumin performed for free in his hometown, Zhao Benshan unceremoniously put a little reward from the organizer into his pocket, Gao Xiumin was angry about this, and his impression of Zhao Benshan was greatly reduced.
Until the play "Heart Disease", Zhao Benshan glared at Gao Xiumin angrily again, which made her blood pressure soar. Gao Xiumin completely recognized Zhao Benshan's "ignorance of Entu", and the relationship between the two fell to the freezing point, Gao Xiumin hated Zhao Benshan to the core, and never rebuilt the old friendship with him for the rest of his life.
Even at the last moment of Gao Xiumin's life, Zhao Benshan never had the slightest pity for her, and the contradiction between the two was never bridged, which was the biggest pain in Zhao Benshan's life.
Sources of civil strife
The grievances and hatred between Zhao Benshan and his friends and apprentices are certainly part of the reasons for the civil strife in the Zhao family class today. But the more direct and fundamental fuse has to start with his attitude towards the employment of the disciples of the Zhao family.
Let's start with the complaints of the disciples of the Zhao family: they only get a meager salary of 8,000 yuan per month, and when they participate in the filming of TV dramas, they only play small roles as leftovers, and Zhao Benshan never gives them any separate acting remuneration and share.
A star actor is often paid millions of dollars, but Zhao Benshan's "payment" to his apprentices is only 300 yuan. In the face of such stingy and lazy treatment, the disciples of the Zhao family class were indeed full of complaints and suffered a lot of grievances.
But the direct culprit is someone else.
It turned out that the mastermind behind the scenes was Benshan Media Company under Zhao Benshan. With its monopoly position in the industry, this company first collected most of the profits into its own company through various means, and then Zhang Jiahao, deputy general manager, directly divided up to 30% of the commission of all actors.
Before the money earned by the disciples of the poor Zhao family class arrived, Zhang Jiahao had already been directly pinched. As the ultimate boss of the company, Zhao Benshan is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary and beneficiary of this civil unrest.
Zhang Jiahao, who has hands and eyes, was originally just a personal bodyguard of Zhao Benshan. But with Zhao Benshan's promotion, he now controls the power in Benshan Media, and even the salary commission of ordinary employees is directly implemented by him.
With Zhang Jiahao, a "terrorist", guarding for him, the disciples of the Zhao family class are wishful thinking if they want to leave easily.
Just as the popular student "Zhao Si" Liu Xiaoguang said bluntly in the live broadcast: "I once thought about leaving Zhao's class, but the key is that I can't bypass Zhang Jiahao."
As long as Zhang Jiahao is here, no one wants to be independent from Zhao Benshan, his "own boss".
In the face of such turmoil and civil strife, Zhao Benshan chose to treat all this with silence, and never responded positively to the accusations and dissatisfaction of his apprentices.
As a generation of grandmasters, Zhao Benshan's attitude towards this "civil war" was exceptionally calm. Whether it was the public departure of the apprentices, or the slander and abuse of his personality, Zhao Benshan was all silent, just waiting for the changes.
Regarding the doubts from the outside world, Zhao Benshan obviously has his own ideas and conclusions. In his view, all opposition and criticism stemmed from a lack of a comprehensive understanding of his ideas and beliefs.
The reason is not difficult to understand, for Zhao Benshan, he has always positioned himself as a businessman, rather than an artist on the stage. In his worldview, the relationship with his apprentices is nothing more than a pure employment relationship, cooperating with each other to make money, mutual benefit and win-win results.
Zhao Benshan is convinced that the fundamental reason why he and his apprentices are so close is that many people's understanding of this relationship is superficial. The apprentices rely on Zhao Benshan to make money to support their families, and Zhao Benshan also relies on the performances of the apprentices to accumulate their own wealth, which is the most basic employment relationship in money transactions.
And once this purely economic relationship is elevated to the level of friendship or affection, all kinds of contradictions and disputes will arise. Zhao Benshan thinks that he has achieved the fairness and reasonableness he deserves, while the apprentices' "anti-water" is completely narrow-minded and irrational.
From this point of view, it is understandable why Zhao Benshan is indifferent to today's civil strife. As a businessman, his goal is to maximize profits, and how to balance the interests of all parties is the primary consideration.
Blindly emphasizing the affection between teachers and students or friendship is tantamount to putting the cart before the horse.
Even if his former apprentices and friends have now pointed fingers and complained about him, Zhao Benshan firmly believes that his principles of doing things are correct, and his judgment of things is objective and fair, and there is no need to cater to and please any party.
The calmness and rationality in his bones may be the reason why Zhao Benshan was able to climb to the top from an unknown little person.
