1. We jointly remember the glorious era of the once popular Spring Festival Gala sketches, and many former "nail household" actors have left endless laughter and memories for our cultural stage.
Today, we will trace the growth process of these "nail household" actors and their different life trajectories, in order to take you back to those glory days.
Every year on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, hundreds of millions of incense waft in all corners of the land of China, and the people of the whole country are excited to wait in front of the television set and look forward to the grand opening of the Spring Festival Gala.
For every Chinese, in addition to the sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the Spring Festival Gala is undoubtedly the most symbolic festival ceremony Those former Spring Festival Gala sketches, like stars, those humorous dialogues, exaggerated and vivid facial expressions, can always make the national audience laugh, laughter in every family's living room, alley.
However, in recent years, with the gradual fading out of the older generation of actors, the quality of the Spring Festival Gala sketches seems to have declined significantly. The Internet is full of disappointed complaints that "the sketch is dead".
We can't help but ask, why did those former "nail household" actors choose to leave the stage? What is their life like now? Let's explore their stories together, relive those moments that once brought us laughter, and feel the glory of the past.
Second, let's pay attention to Zhao Lirong's artistic career. Teacher Zhao Lirong's love for the stage is as caring as her own children. She has been performing on stage since she was a child, and she has regarded the stage as her second home.
She has shown extraordinary acting talent since she was a child, and her authentic Tangshan dialect, coupled with her humorous acting skills, is unforgettable.
It was not until she was 60 years old that Ms. Zhao Lirong stepped on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. At that time, she co-starred with Mr. You Benchang in the sketch "Emergency", with its pure Tangshan dialect, presented a wonderful comedy performance for the audience, which made the national audience laugh.
The success of this sketch not only made Zhao Lirong win the love of the national audience, but also received high praise from Zhang Xiaohai, the director of the Spring Festival Gala. Soon after, she was fortunate to star in the movie "A Day of a Heroic Mother" and became a well-known film and television star.
However, Zhao Lirong's life road is not smooth, full of ups and downs and twists and turns. The loss of her first husband, Sheng Hong, in her youth, made her physically and mentally exhausted; Soon after, the death of her beloved daughter due to a natural illness sounded the alarm bell in the mother's heart.
3. Just when she barely recovered and was ready to be strong again to face life, fate played a cruel joke on her again - her second husband died of a heart attack! .
Despite all the tortures in life, every time she stands on the stage, Zhao Lirong can always show her best side, hiding all the pain and sorrow in her heart, and bringing endless joy to the audience with laughter.
In 1999, Zhao Lirong was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for her, however, at the last moment of her life, she still stuck to her post and insisted on completing the last Spring Festival Gala performance.
Although Zhao Lirong finally left us, the classic images she created in the Spring Festival Gala and film and television works are still deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience and have become eternal memories.
Fourth, the decline of the sketch emperor Zhao Benshan
In the Chinese sketch world, Zhao Benshan can be called the undisputed "emperor". His talent stems from the discernment and careful cultivation of the famous cross talk master Jiang Kun. With his unique sense of humor, quick on-the-spot response and profound artistic attainments, Zhao Benshan quickly won the enthusiastic popularity of the national audience after his debut on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
In the following years, Zhao Benshan's acting career reached its peak, and a series of wonderful sketches created with senior actors such as Song Dandan and Guo Da not only became an important milestone in the development of Chinese sketches, but also brought countless laughter to the audience and created many popular classic bridges and lines.
However, just when the career was in full swing, the cooperative relationship between Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan encountered a bottleneck. At the Spring Festival Gala in 2008, due to the outdated content of the script, the tacit understanding between the two was insufficient, resulting in the unsatisfactory presentation of the whole sketch and the lack of highlights.
After stepping down, Zhao Benshan learned from the pain, knowing that his creative inspiration was gradually drying up, and his creation was in trouble. Since then, Zhao Benshan has gradually faded out of the sketch stage and began to get involved in many fields such as hosting, directing, film and television.
However, no matter what field he is in, he cannot recreate the glory and glory of the past.
Someone once sharply commented that Zhao Benshan's departure is like a symbol of the decline of China's sketch industry. Nowadays, looking at the sketch programs of the Spring Festival Gala, they have lost the brilliance of the past, and it is rare to see a truly classic masterpiece come out, which is undoubtedly closely related to the fading out of a generation of sketch masters such as Zhao Benshan.
5. The dispute between Zhu Shimao, Chen Peisi and CCTV
When it comes to the leaders in the field of sketches, Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi are undoubtedly the founders of sketch art. It is with their humorous rhetoric and exaggerated interpretation that they created a masterpiece that created a new era of sketches - "Eating Noodles", thus opening up a new world on the big stage of the Spring Festival Gala, which is a big stage of national attention.
For a long period of time, whenever the festival is coming, the audience is most looking forward to the new masterpieces of Zhu and Chen. Their witty and witty lines and superb performance skills always make the audience laugh and applaud.
The two masters, Zhu Chen, have teamed up to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala many times, which can be called a well-deserved "evergreen".
However, good times are always short-lived, and Zhu Chen and the CCTV director team gradually had differences and contradictions in the concept of artistic creation. What is even more unacceptable is that CCTV actually put their works into print and publish without authorization, which is obviously a serious infringement of intellectual property rights.
As a result, the two sides launched a protracted litigation battle, and finally CCTV was sentenced to pay 330,000 yuan in compensation and publicly apologized, and Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi have since become strangers to CCTV channels.
Since retiring from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhu Chen and the others have not chosen to say goodbye to their stage careers. They are still active in the theatrical world, often preparing new productions. It is especially worth mentioning that Chen Peisi's son has successfully transformed into an excellent drama actor, and under the careful guidance and influence of his father, it is believed that he will shine on the stage in the future and continue the brilliant career of Zhu and Chen.
Sixth, Guo Da and Cai Ming's road to "nail households".
When it comes to the classic sketches of the Spring Festival Gala, the tacit cooperation between Guo Da and Cai Ming is undoubtedly an indispensable bright spot. This golden partner has gone to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala many times, and is deeply loved by the audience and is known as the "nail household".
Their excellent acting skills have left an unforgettable impression on countless audiences.
Guo Da is undoubtedly a late-blooming star in the entertainment industry! As soon as he graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, he devoted himself to the drama theater of Shaanxi Province, where he devoted himself to cultivating stage presentation skills for ten years.
It wasn't until 1987, when he was 32 years old, that he stepped on the bright stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, with his starring sketch "In front of the mother's door" became popular all over the country overnight For this exquisite work, Guo Da can be said to have done his best, from lines to costumes and props, from scene scheduling to rhythm control, he has carried out at least 100 repeated rehearsals, full dedication, this unswerving professionalism is really admirable.
In 1993, Guo Da began to work hand in hand with Cai Ming, and the tacit understanding between the two increased day by day. They brought a unique combination of Chinese and Western style sketches to the audience, with Cai Ming playing a foreign friend and Guo Da playing a Chinese character.
In the context of cultural differences, they skillfully created many interesting conflicts and contradictions, vividly demonstrated many interesting stories about the integration of Eastern and Western cultures, and won warm applause from the audience.
As time passed, the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit, and the degree of tacit understanding was unparalleled. However, the rumors about "the pot from leaving" were quickly clarified by the two themselves. It turned out that the real reason for their parting of ways was not rumors, but because Guo Da had been under high-intensity work pressure for a long time and his body was seriously overdrawn, so he had to leave the stage for a short time.
Today, Guo Da is immersed in the beauty of retirement, and his children have also achieved good results and live a quiet and peaceful life.
