In the TV series "Liu Laogen 3", Zhao Benshan's old partner Fan Wei has returned, Yan Xuejing has also returned, and two important people, He Qingkui and Wang Hongmei (Ding Xiaoman), have also returned, which is a big reunion.
The only three regrets are that Gao Xiumin and Li Zhengchun who died can no longer see their figures, and one, Guo Tiecheng, who played Erkui, regrets that he did not appear.
Speaking of Guo Tiecheng, many people thought he was Zhao Benshan's apprentice at the beginning, because he often appeared in Zhao Benshan's early works, in addition to film and television dramas such as "Male and Female Director", everyone is more familiar with the "Red Sorghum Model Team" at the Spring Festival Gala in 1997.
First, the background of the creation of "Red Sorghum Model Team"
There are two screenwriters of "Red Sorghum Model Team", Cui Kai and He Qingkui, and the story of the peasant model team is collected by Cui Kai from Dalian, the prototype is a garment factory in Dalian Pikou, the chairman is a local old lady, she organized a peasant model team, of course, the model team and this in the sketch is not the same thing.
This sketch should undoubtedly belong to the main melody attribute, reflecting the new face of rural development, such a theme is easy to pass the censorship, but there is a problem, that is, it is not easy to produce comedic effects, because it lacks contradictions and conflicts, contradictions and misunderstandings are almost essential elements of comedy, so the script of "Red Sorghum Model Team" Zhao Benshan is not satisfied.
This is really quite difficult for Cui Kai, he accepted a proposition essay in the Spring Festival Gala of the first year of 1996, writing about new rural technologies such as soilless cultivation, an agricultural science expert told Cui Kai that he did not figure out how to integrate soilless cultivation into the sketch, and finally wrote a two-person song and dance sketch "Crossing the River" in a different way, but unexpectedly became a classic of Pan Yangtze River.
Therefore, from Cui Kai's point of view, "Red Sorghum Model Team" is a continuation of the theme of "Crossing the River", but it cannot be continued in the design of baggage, and finally can only find a contradiction between a model team and a designer, in order to reflect the conflict of "Tuyang", and it is logical for Zhao Benshan to shout out a HuangHong-style line: "I think, the laborer is the most beautiful person!" ”
Zhao Benshan is not satisfied with "Red Sorghum Model Team" precisely because this sketch is not good at design or acting, and when he is entangled, a savior comes, He Qingkui.
He Qingkui was not too famous at that time, but he had already shown his strength, during the preparation of the Spring Festival Gala on CCTV, people often asked him for help to think of ideas to design baggage, He Qingkui was not rejected, for this matter Gao Xiumin also had a big fight with him before the Spring Festival Gala in 1994. Think about it, other people's sketches have more baggage, the effect is good, the spring evening went, but Gao Xiumin's sketches were not given more competitive pressure by He Qingkui.
At the Spring Festival Gala in 1997, He Qingkui wrote a "Willow Dark Flower Ming" to Gao Xiumin, which talked about the twilight love of the elderly in the countryside, partnered by Gao Xiumin and Wei Ji'an.
Faced with Zhao Benshan's problems, He Qingkui took the initiative to help him design the baggage, the most classic one is that "the cat can't walk in a straight line, it all depends on the rats."
In the end, He Qingkui's name appeared in the sketch screenwriting column, in addition, in the supporting actors of "Red Sorghum Model Team", many Gao Xiumin's team actors were also added.
Second, the acquaintances in "Red Sorghum Model Team"
There are at least fifteen characters in this sketch, not counting dancers, which can be called zhao Benshan's largest number of sketches, and there are also some people who are not familiar with each other and are now very familiar.
First of all, a familiar name, the composer in the sketch, Yao Ming. Of course, this is not the later "Little Giant" and Yao Ming, the chairman of the Basketball Association, but yao Ming, the composer who was popular at that time.
Yao Ming's classic works include "Rap Face", "Qianmen Love Thought Big Bowl of Tea", etc., he is also the composer of "Journey to the West Sequel", as a person from Liaoning and Shenyang Conservatory of Music, he can also help Zhao Benshan's sketch composition.
Zhao Benshan will not say more, at that time, Teacher Fan Wei was already on the Spring Festival Gala for the third time, before he played the secretary and the driver, this time he became a fashion designer like a big coffee show, to be honest, this character is definitely not Fan Wei is good at, so his performance is not so brilliant, there is a feeling of "enough" to act.
If you look at it from the perspective of the Spring Festival Gala in 1997, Fan Wei's teacher Fan Wei is far from the dancing "little pepper" that is impressive, and that "little pepper" is not only dancing good eyes but also in place, looking at it is particularly "spicy"!
Playing "Little Pepper" is Wang Xiaoyan, a famous dancer of the Jilin Dance Troupe, and her representative work has one that you are sure to be familiar with, "Big Girl Beauty". "The big girl came to the big girl wave, and the big girl walked into the green yarn tent", probably because of this work, He Qingkui found her and invited her to perform "Little Pepper" at the Spring Festival Gala.
Taking this as an opportunity, Wang Xiaoyan later appeared on the spring festival gala stage many times, but all of them returned to the old line of dance.
If you look at it from the current perspective, in addition to Zhao Benshan Fan Wei in "Red Sorghum Model Team", there are two acquaintances.
One is a professional household in Zhao Benshankou who "raises big geese", this little beauty is called Wang Hongmei, perhaps everyone prefers to call her "Xiaoman", she played Liu Laogen's second daughter-in-law Ding Xiaoman in "Liu Laogen".
Interestingly, Ding Xiaoman called Ding Xiang "old aunt" in "Liu Laogen", and in reality, Wang Hongmei did call Gao Xiumin "old aunt", she is the daughter of Gao Xiumin's fourth sister, and her family is appropriate. Therefore, later when He Qingkui Gao Xiumin filmed "Holy Water Lakeside", Wang Hongmei became Gao Xiumin's team actor.
Another person that everyone feels familiar with is Guo Tiecheng, played by Liu Erkui in "Liu Laogen", who has not appeared in Zhao Benshan's sketches and film and television dramas in those years, until "Liu Laogen" became popular, and Liu Laogen beat Erkui as one of the highlights of the play.
At that time, it was estimated that many people thought that Guo Tiecheng was Zhao Benshan's apprentice, but in fact, he was also Gao Xiumin's team actor, playing one of the protagonists in "Holy Water Lakeside".
"Holy Water Lakeside" is a good TV series, but also He Qingkui Gao Xiumin's team of masterpieces, the actors are almost all Gao Xiumin's team, and there is even Zou Dejiang in the middle, so these actors later cooperated very little with Zhao Benshan, until He Qingkui re-cooperated with Zhao Benshan, Wang Hongmei returned to "Liu Laogen 3", but Guo Tiecheng could not come back.
Third, the follow-up to "Red Sorghum Model Team"
"Red Sorghum Model Team" is good as a sketch, blending the main theme and funny, and the song and dance at the end is also a stroke of genius, which is excellent.
But for Zhao Benshan, this sketch is not enough like "Three Whips", he needs a more perfect script, and He Qingkui obviously has this ability, so after this sketch, Zhao Benshan began to work closely with He Qingkui, the next year launched "Bye Nian", and the next year is "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow".
For He Qingkui, in the 1997 Spring Festival Gala sketch industry, he was the biggest winner, taking the second prize for the sketch of Zhao Benshan's staff officer and the third prize for "Willow Dark Flowers" written by Gao Xiumin.
That is to say, He Qingkui already has the strength to become famous in one fell swoop, and what he needs is a powerful cooperation object, so he persuaded Gao Xiumin, who was not willing to play a supporting role, to initially take shape in the iron triangle in the second year and cooperate with "Bye Nian".
After that, of course, it is "Liu Laogen".
