Liu Wei studied under Ma Ji and partnered with Feng Gong, who was once known as a "cross talk wizard".
Many viewers once said that they would never watch the Spring Festival Gala without Liu Wei.
However, at the peak of his career, he was "obsessed" and played a good hand of cards to a pulp.
When he regained his strength and wanted to start again, he found that there was no place for him in the cross talk world.
Not only that, but under his "demon", he gradually became a "prisoner" from a generation of cross talk wizards.
What was it about him that he was so confused about, and what kind of life did he have now?
Cross talk iron partners dispersed
In the 80s of the last century, there was a "fever for going abroad" in China.
What no one expected was that Liu Wei was also one of the infected people of this "going abroad fever".
The Spring Festival Gala in 1988 was the last time Liu Wei and Feng Gong performed on the same stage.
After stepping off the stage, Liu Wei proposed to Feng Gong the idea of going abroad for development.
The partner's sudden "notice" made Feng Gong stunned in place.
He never thought that his once intimate and tacit partner would leave him alone.
Even Liu Wei's master tried hard to persuade him to dispel this idea.
He even threatened: "If you leave, don't come back in this life." ”
However, such a threat seemed insignificant in front of Liu Wei, who had already made up his mind.
Just after the New Year, Liu Wei took his wife to go abroad.
The iron partners in the cross talk world quietly dispersed.
At the beginning, Liu Wei swore that the two of them were inseparable.
also boasted about Haikou: "I won't be on the stage without Feng Gong." ”
The reason why they are called "iron partners" starts from the acquaintance of the two in junior high school.
When they were in junior high school, Liu Wei and Feng Gong were middle school classmates, and they were both lovers of cross talk performances.
So they hit it off and formed a partner and went to participate in the cross talk competition together.
The two of them may have been born to eat this meal.
Two people who have not undergone any training have successfully stood out among the many "practitioners".
Such results brought the two a lot of self-confidence, and gradually formed a regular partner.
And they became an integral part of each other's training afterwards.
When the two performed on the same stage once, the cross talk master Ma Ji sat in the audience.
At this time, the two didn't know that there was a big man sitting in the audience who could change their lives.
After the performance, Ma Ji called out to Liu Wei and Feng Gong.
and threw an olive branch directly to them.
People who like cross talk don't know Ma Ji.
With such an opportunity, the two of them naturally will not miss it.
In this way, the two of them, who had not undergone any training, became Ma Ji's closed disciples.
officially started his career as a cross talk actor.
With the help of Master Ma Ji, Liu Wei and Feng Gong gradually ascended to a higher stage.
Not only can they perform together in the art troupe, but they are also transferred to the radio rap group at the same time.
In 1986, Ma Ji won the opportunity for them to perform at the Spring Festival Gala.
The training and tacit cooperation day after day allowed the two to have a stable typhoon.
A program of "Talking about the Tiger in the Year of the Tiger" made the audience laugh constantly.
The humorous and witty performance made the two famous in one fell swoop, and they became popular all over the country.
After that, not only did the two not become arrogant because they became famous, but continued to present better works to everyone.
Among them, the more familiar ones are "Coincidental Films", "Seeking Perfection and Blame" and so on.
However, it is such a pair of iron partners who have only attended the Spring Festival Gala three times together.
And what Liu Wei never dreamed of was that a trip abroad almost ruined his cross talk career.
The cross talk career has stagnated
A few days after arriving abroad, Liu Wei ran into a big trouble.
He has put all his energy into cross talk over the years.
English proficiency is limited to recognizing twenty-six English letters.
Not only will you not communicate with the people around you, but you will get lost if you are not careful.
In desperation, Liu Wei could only hang a sign around his neck like some elderly people with Alzheimer's disease.
Since communication has become a problem, it is simply a fool's dream for him to return to his old business in a foreign country.
Abroad, no one cares if he is a cross talk actor or not.
No one cares about his achievements in the cross talk world.
From a high-profile cross talk wizard to a public bewilderment, it is difficult for Liu Wei to accept this fact.
As a result, he and his wife stayed in a foreign country for just 8 months.
went home, ready to return to China to continue his old job.
However, the cross talk industry, like the entertainment industry, is updated and iterated at a fast pace.
Feng Gong, his partner who was once "abandoned" by him, also has a new partner.
Looking at it, the entire cross talk world seems to have no place for him.
Fortunately, he has a good master with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.
Even if the words he once said were very ugly, he still couldn't bear to see his beloved apprentice disappointed in the workplace.
In order to help Liu Wei return to the top, Ma Ji did not hesitate to match him.
In 1989, Ma Ji took Liu Wei to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again.
It is said that Ma Ji not only changed the script to Liu Wei for Liu Wei.
even replaced the original Zhao Yan.
However, what Ma Ji did did not get good results.
Liu Wei did not regain popularity because he returned to the stage.
even got narrower and narrower in the subsequent cross talk performances.
The workplace was hit hard, so he had to use alcohol to kill his sorrows, and pinned his anger on alcohol.
However, alcohol did not change his current situation, but instead plunged him into one of the darkest moments of his life.
Deep in scandal and makeover
"How much money, I'll pay!"
In 2006, Liu Wei drunk driver rear-ended a moving bus.
And after the rear-end collision, there was no option to deal with it actively.
Instead, he took a tough stance and got into an argument with the bus driver.
The most intolerable thing for the bus driver is Liu Wei's attitude that money can solve anything.
So he called the police without saying a word.
It doesn't matter if you are a public figure or not, you must be restrained in front of the police.
Eventually, the news that Liu Wei was taken away by the police for drunk driving quickly made it to the newspapers.
And he also paid the price for his actions, which was detained for 15 days.
From then on, the experience of being a prisoner will accompany him for the rest of his life.
Misfortune is not a single line, and blessings are not double, not long after he was released, Liu Wei's mentor Ma Ji died.
His shelter completely collapsed and he had to find a way out for himself.
Seeing that Feng Gong also began to make small achievements in the entertainment industry, Liu Wei couldn't sit still.
joined the performing arts army and became one of them.
In 2017, "In the Name of the People" became the most popular TV series as soon as it was broadcast.
And Liu Wei, who hadn't been seen for a long time, actually appeared in it.
I have to say that talented people are great at what they do.
Obviously, he used to be mainly cross talk, but he is quite similar to being an actor.
Playing the villain directly makes the audience hate itchy.
Although most of the characters are some supporting roles, Liu Wei takes them seriously as the main character.
Maybe it's because I have lost, so I know how to cherish it more.
In 2022, Liu Wei will also appear in the hit drama "Menghualu".
's short acting career has made him a "national first-class actor".
You can imagine how much effort he put into acting.
On this year's Qingming Festival, some people also saw the scene of Liu Wei going to sweep the tomb of his mentor Ma Ji.
For him, Ma Ji is the guiding light in his life.
not only pulled him into the industry, but also lent a helping hand when he was frustrated.
Like a master and a father, he not only taught him to be artistic, but also taught him to be a man.
In the photo, Liu Wei is already full of gorgeous hair, and the years have not made any exceptions to him.
I saw him gently caressing the statue of the master, and his expression was solemn.
At that moment, what he was thinking was only known to him.
epilogue
Liu Wei went from a cross talk wizard to a "prisoner", and then to a "national first-class actor".
He had been so wrong, and he had tried to make amends.
Although he can still be seen on some cross talk stages.
But the scenery of the past is long gone.
Nowadays, he appears more in film and television works.
Use your wonderful performances to bring a better look and feel to the audience.
And the deep relationship between him and Master Ma Ji is also very moving.
It is hoped that in the future development, Liu Wei can choose the path carefully.
continues to shine in his acting career and cross talk performances.
