Original/Fu Tingting
After more than ten years, Chi Zi still remembers those things when he was a child.
One holiday in elementary school, a girl wrote a folded card to give to Chizi. The teacher walked around the class, found the greeting card, confiscated it, and called Chi Zi and the girl to the office. The teacher asked the girl, "Did you give it to him when you came over?" The girl replied, "Yes." The teacher said, "You are not allowed to bring this thing to the class in the future!" ”
Ikeko didn't know if the teacher was targeting him or if it was just a coincidence. At that time, the festive atmosphere was very strong, and many people in the class were writing greeting cards, and he did not know how the teacher had found this one from so many greeting cards. For a small child, that is already a great privacy.
Until the end, Chi Zi didn't see what was written on the greeting card.
He recalled his feelings at that time: "Every word of the teacher, I want to ask 'by what', why do you want to take what she gave me?" Why do you have to take it apart and look at it? Why didn't you give it to me in the end? Why are you not allowed to send it? Is it a violation of the law or school rules? ”
Chi Zi's rebellion begins with questioning the teacher.
More than a decade later, he relied on his humor and language talent to stand on the stage of "Spit Conference" and "Talk Show Conference", and the audience liked him very much, saying that he was a talk show genius.
Chi Zi received a lot of attention, but his rebellion did not end there.
Penalty station life
The longest penalty station in the pool was one week. Once the teacher asked him to go to another class gate to punish the station, and once the teacher confiscated his chair, he stood for a class, there was no place to sit after class, and he found someone else's desk to lie down for a while. Sometimes, the whole class is talking, "The teacher will kill the chicken and scare the monkey, I am the chicken." Click, stand out. ”
Always punished by the teacher, Chi Zi also began to pay attention to the classmates who were punished together. He found that many times, if a boy in the class chased a girl and played, the boy must be the one who was punished; but if a girl chased a boy and played, the boy was still the one who was punished. "I was really naughty when I was punished for standing, but once a very honest boy was also punished for standing."
At that time, Chi Zi was about ten years old, short, and had no physical ability to resist, nor did he know how to resist, but instinctively felt that these things were unfair. In the education received from an early age, the teacher is a "gardener", an unquestionable authority, and has a sacred status. But Chi Zi slowly realized that it was not: "These are all people, he is wrong or wrong." At that time, he did not have such big words as "authority", "gender" and "society" in his mind.
No one expected that the life of the penalty station in the elementary school and the idea of "rebellion" became the source of creation of the later Chizi talk show. "Teacher" became his classic meme, expanding from the original semantics to become a symbol representing "authority" and "false courtesy".
At the age of 21, in the "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show" hosted by Wang Zijian, Chi Zi debuted on the screen for the first time: "Wang Zijian was particularly kind, when he first met me, he called me Teacher Chi Zi. I said, you are only a teacher, your whole family is a teacher, how do you scold people? "I don't know why, I just don't like people to call me teacher, I always feel very strange in my heart, because when I was a child, I was always punished for standing, and every time others called me a teacher, I always wanted to say to them, 'You stand up for me, give me out!'" ”
In February this year, a recording was posted online. The teacher reprimanded the students, saying that the parents of the students sent to her class in the past were all officials, and the conditions were particularly good. "Don't blame me for looking down on you, XXX's mom earns more money in a year than your mom earns in fifty years." Are you all the same? Can you be the same? ”
Chi Zi heard that he was very angry and sent a Weibo: "I am ready to move down the class, see you back, bye-bye!" ”
He didn't explain why he suddenly came here, and it didn't seem to be intended to let everyone know what he was condemning, but more like an instinctive disdain, and then laughed at himself. During the interview, when asked where this sentence came from, he only told the source of this weibo: "The teacher also talked about a particularly fake and empty material set of things to intimidate students. Originally, the word 'class' was particularly hypocritical, and she was still here to distinguish between high and low, and she was facing a junior high school student. I'll move down, I'll go to the bottom of the class, what can I do? ”
Chi zi's audience likes to call him "monkey", and chi zi's friends know that he loves to move. During the interview, he was originally sitting, holding a pair of drumsticks in his hand, thinking about the gap between strokes, and knocking twice on the coffee table. Inadvertently, he was lying on the couch straight again, elbowing the couch and holding his face. His inner and outer are consistent, and in his heart lives a rebellious Sun Wukong, which is difficult to be "tamed".
He did not like to move in the circle of demarcation, crossing the so-called "boundaries" set by society one at a time.
In 2014, Ikeko was 19 years old, years before he became a famous stand-up comedian. He saw a sentence and forwarded it on his microblog. That's what Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) said: "We must choose our position." Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the oppressed, and silence encourages the abuser and never the victim. ”
Pool Figure/Pool is not studio
Not to be "domesticated"
In high school, Chi zi, who did not have low grades in cultural classes, decided to study art. The teacher suggested that he report more schools, he did not listen, he reported two, he felt that these two could not be counted. Later, he really did it: he was at ease to teach himself literature and art at home. There was another reason why he didn't go to college, when his mother was sick, he could also take care of his mother at home, his mother taught him to cook, and he made a meal for his mother to eat.
Even so, if he wanted to go to college, he still had a lot to choose from, but he didn't. In Jiang Sida's variety show "Only Three Days Visible", Chi Zi mentioned that not going to college has a lot to do with taking care of her mother, but it is not decisive. After Chi Zi made his debut, some people once felt that he could not go to college to not go to college. After all, who would have the opportunity to give up? Many people ask him: Do you regret not going to college?
In fact, Chi Zi had already figured it out. He replied to netizens: "I think I can learn more without going to college, more direction, higher freedom, suitable for me, this idea is not necessarily suitable for everyone." Some netizens asked him what to do if he didn't have a high school diploma like him. Chi Zi sincerely enlightened: "Whether there is a so-called diploma or not, it does not matter, a piece of paper can not determine your ability and comprehensive quality, let alone determine your future." But you need to know if you have the ability to say the above to yourself. If you have some weak hearts, you have to continue to work hard. ”
The stage image of the pool often gives people an impulsive feeling, and in the early years, there was even a label "grumpy post-95", and the grumpiness of the pool was more appropriate to replace it with "rebellion". Once a decision is made, he is willing to pay the price for that decision. Chi Zi said: "In fact, every choice I have made is well thought out. All choices are made by yourself. ”
In 2015, Chi Zi began performing talk shows. He started with open Wheat, and was later discovered by Li Tian and appeared in "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show". In 2017, Chi Zi became the protagonist in "Spit Conference" and "Talk Show Conference", so hot that some people even asked him to play a costume play, but he refused.
At the beginning of the first season of "Talk Show Conference", Li Shi and Chi Zi led the team separately, and a group of talk show actors followed the fish through the fish, accompanied by the electric BGM of "Levels", which was lively and lively. The two took the stage, sang a harmony, and cooperated with tacit understanding. It can be seen that Chi Zi is the actor who picks the beam only after Li's birthday. At one point, "Lee Chi Chi Zi" became a fixed phrase. When people mention Li Shi, they will mention the pool. At the end of 2019, Chi Zi mentioned Li Tian in "Only Three Days to See", saying: "He can control me, because others say that I don't listen." ”
During the interview, it can be felt that Chi zi's memory is very good, and when recalling an event, his language is concise and full of scene. His language, if it is out of his rhythm, has no effect, and if another person narrates it, it is difficult to achieve the effect. Talk show actor Wang Jianguo once commented on Chi Zi's acting talent and sense of rhythm: "Language is a wonderful thing, you say one second earlier and one second later, it may not feel right." He can get stuck at that point. He also did not go through a long period of hard workout, he just absorbed, more talent and talent. ”
If Chi Zi continues to follow the rules of the game in the entertainment industry and continues to appear in talk shows, he can get more financial returns and resources.
However, just when the talk show was hotly discussed by the whole people, Chi Zi once again made a different choice from most people: to withdraw from the stage.
Ostensibly, it was because of the lawsuit. The lawsuit lasted for more than half a year, and the two sides finally terminated the treaty peacefully.
The termination of the contract is only an external reason for Chi Zi's withdrawal from the talk show TV stage. In Chi zi's personality, he has always questioned the rules of society, and once he finds that these rules violate his original intentions, he will stop and reflect.
In front of the audience, the pool is happy, funny, and joyful. But many people don't see his sober side. He once revealed in an answer to netizens: "I want to keep a little bit of my true self, and in the near future, I am likely to be cannon fodder." It was the beginning of 2017, when two talk shows had just begun, but he already felt the possibility that his nature would not fit the rules of the game.
Li Shi once talked about the difference between himself and Chi Zi in "Thirteen Invitations". He frankly analyzed his state of mind after entering the society, from the pursuit of ideals to the realization of reality: "I will stop trying, I will join everyone to run together." "You let me be myself, and you won't see me." I can't be myself. When it comes to Chizi, he is in a brotherly tone: "He is still young, he is still young, he is much more rebellious than me, and he is not willing to shoot many advertisements." Li Yan smiled and said that he would show the money to Chi Zi, "Is it so much money to shoot?" I am his social reality. I was really a society to him. ”
Unlike Li Tian's "can't be myself" and "join everyone to run together", Chi Zi still wants to be himself. He decided to leave everyone to restart.
Previously, Chi Zi was a Maxima and Li Shi was Chi Zi's Bo Le. Now, Chi Zi is going to do Bole, and he needs to know more about himself. These years of experience have also made Chi Zi reflect more on himself. Chi Zi said: "A talented person should also be valuable in his self-knowledge." I'm still looking for exactly how much talent I have. ”
Chi Zi liked the artist Duchamp. Wang Ruiyun, the translator of "Duchamp's Interview", once commented on Duchamp: "It is not difficult to establish rules and abide by rules, but it is difficult to go beyond the rules and not let the rules limit our vivid and lively lives." ”
Chi Zi once had a studio microblog to publish program announcements and performance information. After joining the new company, he changed "Pool Studio" to "Pool Not Studio". Asked if the studio had an entity, Chi zi said, "No. It's just a microblog. "He is still in the stage of greed, not like many artists to work hard, but more according to his own nature and interests to do things."
After unloading some of the things that had accumulated on him over the years, he set off again.
Back to offline
In Shanghai, chizi has two territories. One is the zhóng Club, which is used to do offline talk shows; the other is Chizi's home, a venue for him to develop his musical interests.
At the end of 2020, Chi Zi founded his own offline talk show label, Club. In 5 years, Chi Zi changed from a fledgling talk show newcomer to a middle Club speaker.
In the Mandrill bar run by artist Huang Jue, the club venue is held once a week, "the actors have no money, the audience has no money, it is a venue for actors to practice." Chi Zi participated in TV shows, online shows about talk shows, and also did commercial advertisements, and when she looked back, she found that she "fell behind instead of a more authentic talk show performance like Open Mai, which is a particularly wrong thing."
The space in the middle Club can only accommodate 100 people, which is obviously not an order of magnitude compared to the hundreds of millions of hits of talk show variety shows. But in Chizi's view, these 100 people are real and sensible. Talking about talk shows, Chi Zi said: "Talk shows are originally niche, and after so many years in the United States, it is not a huge commercial success. We are also just starting out, and the actors and audience are still niche. The recognition of the public, I did not force. If you play like this, play for 10 years, the public recognizes, you yourself are very happy. The public did not recognize it, and it was OK. ”
But offline and online are obviously not the same.
In the shows of "Spit Conference" and "Talk Show Conference", Chi Zi sometimes wears a duck-tongue hat and sometimes a rainbow hat. His hair was curly and curly, shoveled green on both sides, leaving the middle part tied up and draped under the hat. The show has been on fire for two or three years, and Chi Zi has never changed his original hairstyle.
In the first open wheat of the offline Club, the pool came to the stage. He didn't wear a hat, and the dirty braids were tied haphazardly, some tied up, some not tied. The pool, like his braids, was untied. As Li Once joked about Chi Zi in the show: "A most difficult actor to manage.".
Offline open wheat stage, he can moderately cross the thunder pool of ideas and language. But online, Chi Zi's remarks are often invective.
After the two variety shows were on fire, whenever Chi Zi spoke about social issues and chaos in the entertainment industry, there was often a voice of "the pool is inflated". There were more people scolding him, and Chi Zi simply wrote an article to the top and scolded himself. "Come, set a goal, we'll be better than scolding me, I'll take a sample first."
The pool also has a lot of iron powder. Under the "fan economy", the huge fan base is often also the umbrella of artists. However, Chi Zi treats "fans" differently from most artists, and he encourages fans to think independently. The attitude of Ikeko's fans is, "Ikeko bravely flies, and the wheelchair pushes itself." ”
Chi Zi's friend writer Ye San commented on him: "I like Chi Zi because he is a real person. However, Chi Zi, like me, often makes the mistake of not taking himself too seriously, often forgetting that some words are suitable for private discussion rather than public expression. ”
Now, Chi Zi's Weibo still writes whatever he wants, "they (the brokerage company) don't care what I post." Speaking of this, Chi Zi seemed to feel that he was a bit up to praise himself in this way, followed by a self-blackness that was comfortable: "It's all done after it's done." "Nevertheless, along the way to the present, part of the content that will cause greater public opinion, he is likely to choose not to reveal." Chi Zi said frankly, "Since everyone can't hear those words, I won't sting you." ”
"People have this possibility"
Chi zi's well-known identity is a talk show actor, and if this identity is a circle delimited, Chi Zi opens an opening for this circle and steps out.
"You can ask for three apples, you certainly won't want one." Chi zi admires the American artist Donald Glover, who is talented in the fields of talk show, music and film. Chi Zi also thinks like this: "I think people have this possibility." Chi zi likes a lot of things and wants to try them, and music is one of them.
At Chi Zi's house, there are fun instruments he has obtained from all over the world, "there are also serious ones, and there are also unserious ones", and he will practice them when he has time. Go east and west, practice for ten minutes and twenty minutes, and then go do something else.
As early as "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show", Wang Jianguo once made up a paragraph, ridiculing Chi Zi because of his improper love of music and was beaten: "One day, he walked in the community, it was already night, late at night, but he couldn't suppress himself, this excitement in his heart, he wanted to sing, everyone slept, what to do?" No matter, just sing, sing, show yourself in the community, let people beat ah, I tell you, hospitalized for a month and a half, when you are discharged from the hospital, you are still limping. Really, lying in the hospital and doing nothing, every day is to recuperate, and later we all called him 'healing singer'. ”
The paragraph is fake, and it is true that Chi Zi likes music.
Chi Zi from birth to enter the kindergarten period, the mouth culture is prevailing in the literary and art circles, Chi Zi's father sold tapes, CDs, including mouth tapes, mouth discs, after the purchase, also played at home, the sound "loud", the family are appreciators.
When Chi Zi grew up, he often collected various musical instruments and tinkered with them himself. Two or three years ago, he traveled in Peru and saw the sheepskin drum placed in the hotel where he stayed, more than a meter high, very beautiful, and the pool knocked on it and felt very good, "especially wanted." It was late and there weren't many people in the hotel. The next day, Chi Zi carefully consulted with the hotel attendant: "If you want to know about this drum, is it possible for you to sell it?" The waiter agreed: "Sell! Of course sell! We sell everything you see in the hotel. "The sheepskin drum didn't cost much money, and it cost a lot of money to transport it back home.
Some time ago, Chi Zi posted a MV on Weibo. At the beginning of a recent music variety show he was involved in, he sang a song of a similar style. Chi Zi self-evaluation: "Very wonderful, very hardcore. Laugh after saying that. In that MV, Chi Zi plays with the music, pulls his voice and sings, very immersed in the world of music.
These attempts are all new possibilities for the pool. Many people follow the rules and regulations, and the pool does not follow. "I think the charm of people is harmonious and different, as well as wrong."
Once, Chi Zi liked talk shows and often ran from his home in Tongzhou to the open wheat performance in Beitao. From there, he stepped onto the bigger variety show stage step by step, and the audience loved watching him talk show.
Now, he's on stage on another variety show, this time as a resident guest and part-time MC host for this music show. Will the audience still like him?
Chi Zi felt very happy anyway: "The most interesting place here is not a reality show, but a show where you can listen to a dozen or twenty bands performing on stage, and it costs money to go to a music festival." 」
Also, he has loved music since he was a child.
