Behind the glamorous showbiz, everyone's fate is like a roller coaster, with ups and downs, which is impossible to guess. Speaking of Zhao Benshan, this frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala not only has a unique comedy talent, but also cultivates a group of apprentices as a master. But you know what? The current situation of these apprentices is very different, from becoming popular on the Internet to selling vegetables on the street, they will never lose the excitement of TV dramas. What is it that has shaped them today, and what will they teach us?
Let's start with Zhao Benshan's apprentices. Zhao Benshan, the master of comedy, with his unique artistic style and deep social insight, has become a smile maker for countless TV viewers. From "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow" to "Selling Abduction", his sketches frequently appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, intertwined with laughter and tears, and won the hearts of countless audiences. But not only that, he was also an excellent master and trained many apprentices, many of whom became household names.
First of all, let's talk about Lu Pin, whose stage name is "Yadan". In 2009, this girl from a poor background became an instant hit on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and her role as "Mao Mao" was deeply loved. She exemplifies the "grassroots counterattack" in pop culture. In her early years, her family was in difficulty, and the small theater run by her father unfortunately lost money, so she had to shoulder the burden of the family at a young age. Such a background, coupled with Zhao Benshan's insight, finally made her stand out on the road of acting.
Yadan's life is not all smooth sailing. Soon after becoming famous, she married Wang Jinlong, who was also Zhao Benshan's apprentice, and soon welcomed their first child. But the good times didn't last long, and in 2017, the two announced their divorce, and Yadan also chose to leave Zhao Benshan's school. Despite this, she still relied on the popularity accumulated in her early years to find a new world in the field of live streaming and short videos, and became a successful influencer with more than 7.09 million followers. She makes people see that even at a low point in life, they can find a new way out through their own efforts.
Another apprentice, Liu Xiaoguang, reminded us of the other side. Formerly known as Liu Jianguang, he attracted attention for his outstanding performance in "Country Love 2". However, as his fame grew, his personal character began to be problematic. From inappropriate relationships with multiple female fans to a public divorce from his wife, his actions gradually lost public respect. What's more, he was also involved in bad habits such as gambling, and was finally expelled from Zhao Benshan, which affected his acting career. Liu Xiaoguang's experience tells us that even if you reach the peak of your acting career, once you lose the restraint of morality, you may fall to the bottom overnight.
Compared with the colorful lives of Yadan and Liu Xiaoguang, the current situation of the other apprentices also has its own merits. For example, Xiao Shenyang, he became a celebrity with his performance in "Not Bad Money", and his acting career after that was also smooth. Xiao Shenyang's success is not only because of his talent and opportunities, but also because he can manage his reputation and personal brand well, which has become the pride in Zhao Benshan's eyes.
And some apprentices may not be so lucky. They may not have gone as far on the road of acting, and some even changed careers to start small businesses, or returned to ordinary life. These apprentices, although not so dazzling, are equally full of the truth and power of life. In their own way, they interpret the different possibilities of life, and also let us see that everyone's happiness has its own definition.
Among Zhao Benshan's apprentices, some people are prosperous, while others are unknown, and there are many reasons behind this. Talent, opportunity, personal effort, and life choices all play an important role. They are like a mirror, reflecting the diversity and complexity of society. Everyone's life trajectory is unique, as Zhao Benshan said, no matter what the result is, it is important to cherish every attempt and effort in the process.
And for us ordinary people, these stories are not just gossip or pastime, but also a kind of life revelation. They remind us that on the way to pursue our dreams, we need not only talent and opportunities, but also perseverance and the right attitude towards life. Everyone can experience failures and setbacks, but as these disciples demonstrate, the key lies in how we face these challenges and how we find new life in the midst of setbacks.
Zhao Benshan and his apprentices are a colorful picture of life. From star halo to life trivialities, from peaks to troughs, their experience is like a wonderful series, which makes people feel a lot of emotion. These stories are not only about successes and failures, but also about how to persevere in the wind and rain, and how to find your own direction on the unpredictable road of life. As these apprentices have proved, no matter how fate changes, maintaining the original intention and hard work can always open up a path of their own.
