Preface
Speaking of the hottest "Iron Triangle" group in the art world of that era, young people today may be confused. But for the older generation of comedy fans, those three household names are undoubtedly the "spiritual bread of the entertainment industry". However, no friendship is eternal, and there is a beginning and an end, let alone in this deceitful entertainment industry?
Golden years
Three guys from humble backgrounds but all grassroots heroes, relying on bad ideas and naughty humor, climbed to the top of their lives step by step on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. For them, that era was the golden years.
He Qingkui, a poor boy born in a small fishing village, was forced to fish for a living after barely finishing elementary school. Zhao Benshan, a comedian who is not too outstanding in appearance, has been keen on stage performances since he was a student, and has been a teacher and done acrobatics. Gao Xiumin, a grassroots duo turned actor, has a loud voice, short stature and an ugly face, but can do funny sketches.
Don't look at these three people from such a humble background, but what they lack most is that hard work and dedication to the stage dream. With unremitting perseverance and their own efforts, these "three dwarfs" have become superstars in the industry step by step from the clown at the bottom.
Zhao Benshan has become a well-known comedian because of his ugly and cute image, Gao Xiumin's sketch acting skills are in place and the style is unique, and the works written by He Qingkui have all aroused the fanatical pursuit of the audience, such as "Red Sorghum Model Team", "Selling Abduction" and other popular classics.
Every Spring Festival Gala, what is staged in front of and behind the scenes is the tacit performance of these three people. Coupled with Zhao Benshan's nonsensical jokes and Gao Xiumin's exaggerated facial expressions, and the wonderful script written by He Qingkui, the combination of the three is like a joke machine, which can always make the audience laugh until they lean forward and back.
It is already a great miracle that these three guys from ordinary people scolded Fang Xuan in the art world. No one would have imagined that the friendship between these three would fall apart one day.
Strife arises
It's all trivial, but it's enough to make the relationship with the Iron Triangle plummet.
The first is the issue of income distribution. As Zhao Benshan's popularity grew, he began to have some opinions on the script written by He Qingkui, and gradually felt that his contribution was greater than that of the screenwriter. For Gao Xiumin, an old partner who has worked together for many years, Zhao Benshan is still obedient.
may be because he has been poor since he was a child, and Zhao Benshan is concerned about these issues such as salary sharing. He once got into trouble with Fan Wei because of the problem of account sharing. Fan Wei expressed dissatisfaction with him being too stingy and calculating, so the two sides said goodbye.
This situation also happened to He Qingkui and Zhao Benshan. When Zhao Benshan obtained a higher and higher proportion of account sharing and the right to speak, he began to criticize He Qingkui's screenwriting work. In addition, He Qingkui's own temper is also straight and strong, and the two are often at a stalemate on the handling of details. After a long time, Zhao Benshan has a lot of complaints about this "sketch writer".
On the other hand, the cooperation between Gao Xiumin and He Qingkui also had problems. Although Gao Xiumin was born from the grassroots, her figure is too short, and it is easy to give people a sense of obscenity. In order to avoid affecting her reputation, He Qingkui has repeatedly suggested that she change some of her body movements. But Gao Xiumin is more stubborn, and feels that it is his best acting skills, and it is difficult to change it.
As a result, some disagreements arose between the three of them. One year's Spring Festival Gala, almost broke out into a big conflict because of these differences. Gao Xiumin suddenly left the field in the middle of the field, and the staff at that time were in a hurry. Although Zhao Benshan reacted, his performance was also a little sloppy. He Qingkui scolded all aspects at that time.
Although the relationship between the three of them deteriorated, the Spring Festival Gala was a big box, and they finally completed the performance. But since this incident, the relationship between the three has completely cooled. Zhao Benshan has complaints about Gao Xiumin, He Qingkui also has opinions about Zhao Benshan, and Gao Xiumin is even more lonely.
In the Spring Festival Gala in the following years, this iron triangle combination that used to be "dancing with demons" will never be able to reunite again.
Fall to pieces
Just when the friendship of the three people was on the verge of breaking, the impermanence of life suddenly befell one of them. In May 2005, a car accident killed He Qingkui's only son. This is undoubtedly the heaviest blow in He Qingkui's life. He Qingkui was so grief-stricken that he almost went crazy.
At this juncture, Gao Xiumin also died suddenly of illness. Two bad news came one after another, it was like a bolt from the blue, and He Qingkui was completely defeated. The once friendship between the three was undoubtedly the final blow. In the face of He Qingkui's change, Zhao Benshan took the initiative to contact and visit him. The two old buddies have regained some of the warmth of friendship.
However, after all, the relationship can no longer regain the heaviness of the past. Although He Qingkui accepted Zhao Benshan's kindness on the surface, the wounds and pain in his heart could not be easily healed. Since then, the friendship between the three has completely lost the possibility of being restored.
After Gao Xiumin passed away, Zhao Benshan and He Qingkui performed their own stories on their respective stages. Although the bits and pieces of the past are occasionally mentioned, they are only superficial, and it is difficult to regain the liver and gallbladder of the past.
Time flies, time flies. In the blink of an eye, a few years later, in 2024, on a seemingly ordinary day, He Qingkui suddenly posted an angry long post on social media, denouncing two "white-eyed wolves" who are "ungrateful" in the entertainment industry.
This unassuming long article caused an uproar in the entertainment industry. Not long after, someone pointed out that the two "white-eyed wolves" in He Qingkui's mouth were likely to be Zhao Benshan and the late Gao Xiumin, who fought side by side with him back then.
He Qingkui asked in a long article: "After you reach the pinnacle of life, do you still remember those brothers in the past? Do you still know what it means to know the grace of the picture?" A pun on the meaning. Then he was even more loud: "I, He Qingkui, am a grass people, I am a frank person, and I can only greet my friends with a knife in both sides, and I can only greet their ancestors for eighteen generations!"
Although He Qingkui did not name him, people who are familiar with the inside story can see through it at a glance, this is He Qingkui openly stepping on the two former "brothers". Some media then asked He Qingkui what was going on and whether it was really as he said. But He Qingkui was tight-lipped and just said in a weird manner: "The world has its own opinions, and I won't say much about the rest." "
The incident sparked heated discussions and speculation online. Many people believe that the reason why He Qingkui suddenly broke out is probably because some old grudges back then have not been able to let go.
Some people also believe that He Qingkui deliberately created the topic for propaganda purposes. After all, today, he has long been a well-known screenwriter, and there is no need to rehype the old things in the past. After all, this anger ignited the memories of the "Iron Triangle" friendship in the outside world. Many comedy fans of the older generation are deeply embarrassed, feeling that it is a pity that the former "golden partner" fell apart like this.
Bumpy and bumpy
Looking at He Qingkui's later creative career, it is not difficult to find that he did not stop there. In the face of the relentless blows of life and fate, he still continued to move forward on the road of art with perseverance and perseverance. When creating "Red Sorghum Model Team", He Qingkui encountered many obstacles.
At that time, many people thought that the subject matter of this sketch was too vulgar and low-level, and it was not suitable for filming. But with He Qingkui's persistence and self-confidence in art, he finally let this work start filming and achieved great success.
Today, He Qingkui has created dozens of excellent works, leaving countless memories of laughter to the audience. In his writings, the life encounters of the little people are endowed with unique comedic colors and warmth.
To this day, although He Qingkui's personal relationship has suffered countless heavy blows, he still stands, using his art to express his inner joys, sorrows, and sorrows. This is the key to winning the recognition and love of thousands of audiences.
