For Zhao Benshan, retiring after achieving fame may be the wisest choice now.
However, whether it is out of the promotion of apprentices or the pursuit of interests, when the audience continues to use "bad films" to perfunctory, the popularity accumulated in the stage of the sketch in the first half of life is probably almost defeated now.
Before, the launch of "Country Love 13" miraculously obtained a reputation of 6.6 points, this can apply for the Guinness Book of Records for the longevity of the longest-lived drama of the country story, from the first to the thirteenth is not easy, although it is still planned to shoot the fourteenth and fifteenth, but the short triviality of those parents, I am afraid it is not enough to support it to go further.
Therefore, Benshan Media needs to find other themes to maintain its own popularity, so as to ensure that Benshan Media has other sources of income in addition to Liu Laogen's big stage. In this way, there is also this "Legend of the Grand Hotel", which has been backlogged for two years and changed its name several times before it was recently met with the audience.
When it was promoted, it was said that half of the comedy industry was gathered, which was not an exaggeration, because "Legend of the Grand Hotel" did indeed invite a lot of familiar stars. The big marshal who just appeared was played by Hong Jinbao, a big brother-level figure who had long been in a semi-retired state, and was actually able to make a cameo appearance in such a TV series, probably against the face of Zhao Benshan.
Of course, those comedy regulars in the play, including Pan Changjiang, Li Qi and Cai Ming, do not need to mention, they and Zhao Benshan have dominated the Spring Festival Gala for many years, and with this friendship, they can still be invited.
However, the embarrassing story really can't dedicate more laughs, especially the identity of Li Qi and Cai Ming's two characters, it is even more outrageous that it can no longer be outrageous, originally met and killed, and later actually withdrew from the love affair of dog blood.
I don't know what the point of their appearance is? Anyway, from the first episode to the eighth episode, the messy sketches are patchworked together, but there is no comedy funny atmosphere at all, but the identity of each character is vague, and the master-servant relationship played by Wen Song and Jia Bing is even more chaotic.
Perhaps in order to highlight some core values, the first eight episodes are buried with Japanese conspiracies and revolutionary party actions, making this Fengtian City full of conspiracy atmosphere, but because the space is limited to the hotel, it basically has to rely on lines to support.
Therefore, "The Legend of the Grand Hotel" can actually be regarded as a sitcom, and the director of this drama is actually Lu Xiaopin, who has directed "Northeast Family" with Yingda. However, "Legend of the Grand Hotel" is not "Northeast Family" after all, and it cannot create a classic, but it has broken the jar and broken it into a "bad film".
I can guess why Zhao Benshan will supervise this drama, because he wants to support the film and television drama in the northeast, the director is a northeasterner, and the actor is basically his own apprentice, but Zhao Benshan is really not a qualified producer, and it can even be said that he is not a qualified master.
Nowadays, Zhao Benshan's apprentices have dabbled in the film and television circle, Cheng Ye has filmed two "Mountain Cannons Into the City" with a reputation of 4 points, Liu Xiaoguang has filmed a "Fengtian Past" with a reputation of 3.5 points, Song Xiaofeng has directed and acted in a 4.2-point "Let Me Be Addicted", and Wang Xiaoli has filmed a 4.2-point "All the Way Without Stopping", which is only one of their many bad films.
There is nothing wrong with using their current fame to make money, but when Zhao Benshan brought them out of the two people to the stage, he did not have much restraint on them, so he constantly challenged the audience's bottom line with various "bad films", and even basically every film and television drama made the impression of the northeast people lower, which is not regional discrimination, but the northeast and northeast people are really squeezed out and squandered by these people.
"Legend of the Grand Hotel" may want to imitate "Wulin Waichuan" to create a northeast Republic of China version of "Wulin Waichuan", but unfortunately the screenwriter is not Ning Caishen, this drama is not even one-ten-thousandth of the "Dragon Gate Dart Bureau", so that "Wulin Waichuan" and "Dragon Gate Dart Bureau" are funny on a reasonable basis, even if there are modern elements to join, there is no sense of violation.
Looking back at this drama, from the beginning to tell the life of Wen Song and Jia Bing's master servant in the form of silent films, they are so perfunctory, and then changing the abandoned theater building into a hotel is even more groundless and chaotic, as for those stars who have appeared successively, at most to fill the scene, the image design flattened can not remember the name of the character.
After the end of "Country Love 13", Zhao Benshan played the audience with a "Legend of the Grand Hotel", when the signature of the director Zhao Benshan appeared at the beginning of the film, I felt that it was a kind of irony, fame and fortune were too much, how to abuse myself!
