Shen Teng was born on October 23, 1979 in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province, his parents ran a restaurant, and the business was booming, so his family was relatively well-off.
Shen Teng's father was a standard literary and artistic youth, with a certain musical literacy, liked to play the violin, and the most admired person was the comedy master Chaplin.
When Shen Teng was 5 years old, his father went to Shanghai and brought him back a formal suit, a small suit with a small top hat, plus a pair of large-headed leather shoes, and a miniature version of Chaplin.
At that time, no one would have thought that such a "little Chaplin" would occupy half of the Chinese comedy industry in the future.
Shen Teng has an older sister named Shen Na, who has been able to sing and dance since she was a child, showed extraordinary literary and artistic talents, and was highly valued by her parents, and intended to cultivate her on the road of art.
Under the background of his sister, Shen Teng seemed very ordinary, not only his academic performance was a mess, but he did not show other strengths, which once made his parents worry about his future.
Due to inheriting the good genes of his parents, Shen Teng when he was a child was still quite beautiful and very pleasing to girls, so from primary school to middle school, he was always surrounded by a large group of girls.
After a long time of contact with girls, Shen Teng gradually learned how to play poor mouths to make girls happy, which laid the groundwork for his future comedy path.
In the 1990s, the trend of Hong Kong movies swept into the mainland, and many people regarded movie stars as idols.
Shen Teng speaks humorously and funny, and can always make people laugh, so many people say that he is like Stephen Chow, but he himself does not think so, in his youth, the idol has always been The King of Heaven Andy Lau.
Shen Teng's sister Shen Na grew up excellent from childhood to adulthood, and almost did not let her parents worry much, so she was admitted to the People's Liberation Army Art College, and her future was bright.
In 1999, the 20-year-old Shen Teng was facing the college entrance examination, and with his academic performance, it was almost hopeless to enter a key university, and his parents were very distressed about his future.
Shen Na tentatively said to her brother, "Or will you also try to enter the People's Liberation Army Art Academy?" ”
For the university entrance examination, Shen Teng originally did not have much hope, after his sister's persuasion, he simply used the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and temporarily made up for a period of knowledge, but what was surprising was that he was successfully admitted.
Many years later, Shen Teng also joked that he could be admitted, and his appearance accounted for a lot of credit.
Shen Teng was admitted to the undergraduate department of military theater performance, but when he enrolled, he was arranged to live in the same dormitory as several college students, which inevitably met with the jealousy and exclusion of others, making his college life very unpleasant at the beginning.
In order to take care of their son and daughter, Shen Teng's parents simply moved their family to Beijing, opening a restaurant near the school until they graduated.
After fading the immaturity of adolescence, Shen Teng's facial features grew more and more clear, handsome and handsome, and quickly became the school's recognized school grass.
The super high appearance and funny conversation make Shen Teng very popular with girls, and many female students who have just opened their hearts regard him as a crush.
Although Shen Teng looks very handsome, but because he has two small tiger teeth, he is embarrassed to grin and laugh, even if he encounters funny things, he is only smiling, and is often misunderstood by people who are not familiar with him as high cold.
His parents had suggested that Shen Teng go to straighten his teeth, but he thought that these two small tiger teeth were also one of his own iconic features, in case which big director looked at this?
After systematic performance learning, Shen Teng's comedic talent was further stimulated, and his performance on the stage always made teachers and classmates laugh and stir up the atmosphere.
In terms of script creation, Shen Teng's performance is also very prominent, and other students take two weeks to polish a script, and he can often get it in two days, and the quality is still very good.
Shen Teng's outstanding talent made him a dazzling star on the stage, but a northeastern dialect made his performance somewhat dramatic, and the teacher said to him: "Your comedic talent is really good, if you can put aside the northeast accent, there will be more room for development in the future." ”
The northeast accent gave Shen Teng's performance a certain limitation, but it gave him the opportunity to appear on the screen for the first time.
In my sophomore year, a teacher found Shen Teng and said, "Go, take you to film." ”
Ordinary people are too late to be happy when they encounter such an opportunity, but Shen Teng does not forget to ask: "Is there money?" ”
The teacher smiled and said, "Of course there is, 500 a day." ”
In this way, Shen Teng made a cameo appearance in the TV series "Northeast Family" and earned 500 yuan a day, which was undoubtedly a huge amount of money for him who was still a student at the time.
It is from this role that Shen Teng feels that comedy is quite interesting, and it has a lot of connotation and depth to explore.
In 2002, Wang Qi, a Sichuan girl, was admitted to the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts and became Shen Teng's little sister, and Shen Teng was appointed as a teaching assistant by the teacher because of his excellent performance at this time, guiding the students to perform dramas.
Once, Shen Teng took the freshmen to rehearse a sketch, he found that there was a girl whose ass was particularly high, as a military art school grass, he was accustomed to seeing all kinds of girls to attract their attention, so he pretended to be stern: "You act on the acting, what do you do with your ass?" ”
This girl is Wang Qi, before being admitted to the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, she was already a professional dancer, and she also won an acting award for a skit, so she did not care about Shen Teng's guidance.
Hearing Shen Teng's impolite words, Wang Qi immediately played the true color of a hot girl and said back: "Master, my ass is born so upturned." ”
Wang Qi's words made everyone at the scene laugh, and Shen Teng was speechless, feeling that this girl was a bit interesting, and he had a special impression of her in his heart.
In 2003, 12-year-old Yang Yang was admitted to the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, and Shen Teng also graduated in this year, two generations of military art school grass, the connection is very smooth.
Shen Teng, who was supposed to graduate smoothly, was locked in the school because of a "SARS" epidemic, so he simply joined forces with other students to create a "SARS party" to enhance the friendship between teachers and students.
At this party, Wang Qi, who studied dance, showed his skills and performed a passionate tap dance, which shocked the four seats and won unanimous applause.
Shen Teng looked at Wang Qi, who was radiant on the stage, and his heart seemed to be hit hard by something.
That night, Shen Teng tossed and turned in the dormitory, the shadow of Wang Qi lingered in his mind, and in the middle of the night, he finally couldn't help but pick up his mobile phone and sent a vague text message to Wang Qi: "The posture is not right, get up and fall asleep." ”
After Wang Qi received the text message, he looked at Shen Teng, a brother who did not deal with him very well in his daily life, and replied without anger: "Are you sending it wrong?" ”
Shen Teng did not know how to reply, and did not dare to directly confess his heart, rubbing until noon the next day, before replying curtly: "Yes, it was wrong." ”
In the following half a month, Shen Teng thought about Wang Qi almost every night, but he could not find the right opportunity to contact her again, and could only suffer the pain of lovesickness in silence.
Half a month later, Shen Teng and a group of classmates were drinking outside, and taking advantage of the strength of the wine and the instigation of his friends, he had the courage to call Wang Qi and ask her out.
That night, Shen Teng confessed to Wang Qi, he was always greasy and slippery, and the confession was quite smooth.
Although Wang Qi had a festival with Shen Teng before, in the face of such a deep confession of a school grass master, it was inevitable that the girl's heart was overflowing, and she left him that night.
The next day, after word of mouth from his classmates, everyone knew that Shen Teng and Wang Qi were together.
Just began the relationship, Shen Teng is facing the problem of graduating and looking for a job, other students are running around the crew to find opportunities, but he is not hurried to rent an apartment outside the school, and Wang Qi enjoys a sweet two-person time.
Shen Teng also submitted resumes to some well-known troupes in Beijing, but without exception, he sank into the sea, which made him suffer a lot of frustration, lying idle in his apartment all day, not knowing the future direction.
One day, a female classmate came to the door and handed Shen Teng a script, saying that the newly established troupe was recruiting and asking him if he was interested in attending the interview.
Shen Teng took over the script called "Want to Eat Twist Flowers Now Screw You", and found that this story was extremely wonderful, and in a funny and nonsensical way, it satirized various undesirable phenomena in society, which coincided with the comedy concept he had been pursuing.
Shen Teng read this script all night, but he did not feel sleepy at all, and just after dawn he got up to wash up, carefully dressed up, and went to this small company called Happy Twist for an interview.
At that time, Shen Teng had just finished hemorrhoid surgery, the pain was unbearable, it was difficult to sit still, when the interview director came in, he sat paralyzed on the sofa and could not stand up, he could only shout loudly: "Good director." ”
The director saw Shen Teng's careless look, the interview state was so relaxed, calm and calm, must be a very personality actor, and then hired him.
In this way, Shen Teng entered the newly established Happy Twist Theater and cooperated with He Jiong, Xie Na and others to star in the first stage play "Want to Eat Twist Now Screw You".
The company rented the venue, and the actors rehearsed intensively, ready to show their fists, but the cold water of reality poured mercilessly on them.
Happy Twist was small, limited in funding, and the actors had little appeal, so the early performances were very bleak, and sometimes the audience was smaller than the actors on the stage.
Once, they rented a theater with thousands of seats and sold only 4 tickets.
The head of the theater said to them sympathetically: "This drama is no longer performed, and the rental fee is free for you." ”
Everyone who was happy with the twist was greatly shocked, and could only apologize to the 4 spectators who bought tickets, refund them tickets, and reimburse the round-trip fee.
To support his family by acting in dramas was a joke in the eyes of Shen Teng at that time, and he once suspected that he was in the wrong industry and felt confused about the future.
The relentless blow of reality made Shen Teng decadent for a long time, hiding in the apartment all day, numbing himself by playing games, feeling that he could not give Wang Qi a happy future, and thinking of breaking up.
At this time, Wang Qi did not abandon Shen Teng, and encouraged him: "If you like, just stick to it, I can raise you." ”
Wang Qi did what he said, was responsible for the rent of the apartment, Shen Teng drove a broken Jetta, and the cost of refueling and maintenance was all borne by her.
With the help of his parents and the support of Wang Qi, Shen Teng took root in happy twist, and such a life lasted for five years.
Shen Teng felt that it was not the way to rely on others all the time, so he sent a text message to Xie Na, hoping to be a guest in "Happy Base Camp", in case he could break out a new path.
Through that stage play, Shen Teng and Xie Na formed a deep friendship, originally thinking that she could more or less pull an old friend, but the other party's reply disappointed him.
Xie Na was not long after arriving at Hunan Satellite TV, she was unable to protect herself, and she was accustomed to Being poor with Shen Teng on weekdays, and she didn't bother to use any euphemisms, directly saying: "Roll, my position is not yet solid!" ”
Seeing that there is no way out, Shen Teng has to stay at ease in happy twist, rehearsing the program every day, although there is no money or fame for the time being, but it is also very beautiful to be with a group of like-minded friends and fight for the same dream.
With the accumulation of performance experience, Shen Teng's performance has become more and more mature, and many of his self-directed and self-acting comedy works can always make the audience laugh, and his career has slowly begun to improve a little.
In his spare time, Shen Teng will run to various small theaters to watch other people's performances, thinking about how to make his performances more laughable, more attractive to the audience, and then make money.
In 2005, in a small theater, Shen Teng saw Ma Li's performance, Ma Li's sense of rhythm and explosiveness on the stage shocked him immensely, he believed that this was a rare comedian, and then took the initiative to ask for the other party's contact information.
Ma Li graduated from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama and the Drama Research Institute of Peking University, the starting point is very high, but the actual situation is not satisfactory, because of her ordinary appearance, she can only perform in some small theaters, and she knows nothing about the future direction.
After Shen Teng returned to the company, he immediately recommended Ma Li to the directors, and he said that Happy Twist needed this actress very much, and her arrival would definitely inject new vitality and strength into the company.
After Receiving the invitation of Happy Twist, Ma Li came to see their performance and was deeply attracted, she felt that this was the organization she had been looking for, so she immediately decided to join Happy Twist.
Shen Teng and Ma Li, the later golden partners, did not cooperate tacitly at the beginning, and the polishing of the script and the coordination of the actors took time.
In 2007, Shen Teng directed and acted in a stage play "Happy Twist 2007 Crazy Stone", inviting Ma Li to play a small role in it, but Ma Li interpreted this role very brilliantly.
Shen Teng often forgets words when performing on the stage, in order to let the performance continue, he will always make up lines in a vacuum, which makes the actors who work with him a lot of pressure, when he now makes up lines, many opponent actors can't catch it, only Ma Li can keep up with his thinking and pick up the baggage on top.
With the deepening of cooperation, the cooperation between Shen Teng and Ma Li has become more and more tacit, and the performance on the stage is strictly seamless, becoming a close partner who cannot be separated from whom.
Over the past few years, Shen Teng has grown into a pillar of happy twist, not only active in the drama stage, but also receiving some film and television drama roles, and the drama road has gradually opened.
Watching Shen Teng cuddle and hug Ma Li on the stage, talking about love, Wang Qi, as a legitimate girlfriend, was very unhappy in his heart and overturned the vinegar jar.
Shen Teng is informal, does not create surprises and romances, has a little spare time to play games, and does not spend much time on Wang Qi at all.
One day, Wang Qi really couldn't stand it, sent a text message to Shen Teng, and proposed to break up.
At this time, Shen Teng realized that he had ignored Wang Qi's feelings for a long time, and felt that he was a very incompetent boyfriend, and in addition to being sad, he did not stalk each other, but gave each other some time to re-examine the relationship.
After breaking up with Wang Qi, Shen Teng's mood was very uncomfortable, and in his own words, he finally understood Jacky Cheung's "Heart Like a Knife Cut".
Mixed in the show business circle, Shen Teng's side is not lacking in young and beautiful girls, but his heart has long been occupied by Wang Qi, and when he looks at others, he always has the feeling that he has been shipwrecked.
In fact, after Wang Qi and Shen Teng separated, they were also very uncomfortable, and they suffered in their thoughts every day.
One day half a year later, Shen Teng met Wang Qi's classmates while rehearsing a drama, and only after talking did he learn that Wang Qi was still single, and it turned out that he still had no feelings for himself.
Just like that year, Shen Teng dialed Wang Qi's phone after he was drunk, and poured out all the pain of missing the past six months.
In order to save Wang Qi, Shen Teng specially learned the tutorial on the Internet and personally made a bracelet to give her.
How can someone who was once deeply in love easily give up, the two people will soon rekindle their old feelings, and love is inseparable.
After the reunion, Wang Qi wanted to get married, but Shen Teng felt that his career was still in the development stage, and before he got married, the two had to continue to maintain a romantic relationship.
After having Wang Qi again, Shen Teng's love life is sweet and sweet, and his career has also risen steadily, and he has cooperated with Ma Li in dramas such as "Sweet and Salty Match", "Somali Pirates", "Earl of Wulongshan" and so on, setting a series of box office records.
Wang Qi also understood the way Shen Teng and Ma Li cooperated, and also became a close and good girlfriend with Ma Li.
Shen Teng's personal career development is rapid, the company's happy twist has also begun to expand in large quantities, Chang Yuan, Wang Ning, Allen and other comedy talents have entered the company one after another, and Shen Teng has become a partner, and the four of them have been ridiculed as the "four golden flowers" of happy twist.
In 2011, CCTV held the eighth TV sketch competition, happy twist flower participated in the competition, although only got the third place result, but attracted the attention of the general director of the following year's Spring Festival Gala Ha Wen.
After the competition, Ha Wen found Shen Teng and asked him to prepare a language program, hoping that they could bring laughter to the Spring Festival Gala stage.
Ordinary people are too late to be happy to receive the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala, but Shen Teng feels that the performance style of happy twist is not compatible with the Spring Festival Gala stage, and the troupe's next performance is also full of queues, so he politely rejected Ha Wen.
Ha Wen is very optimistic about Shen Teng's performance, and repeatedly gives him ideological work, so that he does not have a mental burden, just follow the performance style of Happy Twist.
After relieving his worries, Shen Teng began to create day and night, and finally the sketch "Today's Happiness" was born.
On the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen Teng and Allen took "Today's Happiness" to the Spring Festival Gala stage, the role of "Hao Jian" became a hit, and the audience in front of the TV set was amused to lean forward and backward, and was overwhelmed by Shen Teng's unique comedic charm.
Shen Teng was worried that the style of happy twist flowers did not match the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, but unexpectedly, after the debut of this sketch, it received surprising praise, gave the people of the whole country a surprise, and was rated as the most popular sketch of the Spring Festival Gala.
Next, Shen Teng appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage for four consecutive years, and the role of Hao Jian was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many people did not know that his real name was Shen Teng.
Shen Teng's success is not only his own efforts, but also inseparable from the times, when Zhao Benshan became famous and has faded out of the Spring Festival Gala stage, and Hao Jian, as one of the few classic characters in the "post-Zhao Benshan era", is naturally loved by the audience.
At the same time, Shen Teng felt that he was bound by Hao Jian, and he confessed to the media: "I can't accompany Hao Jian to old age all my life." ”
In order to seek a breakthrough, Shen Teng set his sights on the film market, and then began to write a more brilliant legend.
In the first half of 2015, Shen Teng participated in the recording of the variety show Happy Comedian, in addition to his regular partner Ma Li, he also met another important woman in this show, Jia Ling, who was an opponent and teammate.
After round after round of fierce competitions, Shen Teng won the championship and Jia Ling was the third runner-up.
On the stage of the finals, out of the needs of the plot, Shen Teng borrowed a seat to kiss Ma Li, and then the host let Wang Qi on the stage, and the audience coaxed Shen Teng to kiss Wang Qi, but Wang Qi avoided it and said: "He just kissed Ma Li, and he had to wash his mouth when he went back." ”
Wang Qi's mind made Ma Li feel a little embarrassed, and since then, Ma Li has deliberately avoided suspicion, and her cooperation with Shen Teng has gradually decreased.
After winning the championship of "Happy Comedians", Shen Teng proposed to Wang Qi, and after 12 years of love, they finally entered the palace of marriage.
On September 30, 2015, the movie "Charlotte Troubles" starring Shen Teng and Ma Li was released, a low-budget, un-promotional film that became a dark horse of the year with excellent word-of-mouth, and won a high box office of 1.44 billion.
In addition to Hao Jian, Shen Teng has a new name, Charlotte, and he has become a comedy genius in people's eyes.
In March 2016, Shen Teng finally married Wang Qi into the family, and then Wang Qi gave birth to a big fat son.
Shen Teng said in an interview with the media that the most correct thing he did in his life was to directly enter the happy twist after graduation, and before graduation, he found this girlfriend.
After getting married, Wang Qi was obviously much happier, her face was full of smiles at any time, and in a program she confessed to Shen Teng affectionately: "I did not live up to you, and you did not fail me." ”
In 2017, Ma Li also found her own happiness, and her relationship with Shen Teng has always been only the best partner on the screen, not the emotional partner in life.
After getting married, Shen Teng and Ma Li have cooperated on several movies, and once again on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, the relationship between them is both friendship and family affection, hand in hand, not abandoned.
After the great success of "Charlotte Troubles", Shen Teng gradually became a box office elixir, and his films such as "Shy Iron Fist", "The Richest Man in Xihong", "Flying Life", "Crazy Alien" and other movies have received extremely high box office.
Shen Teng's achievements in comedy are obvious to all, and some people even compare him with the king of comedy, Zhou Xingchi, thinking that he will become the next king of comedy, but some people think that his style is self-contained, a comedy different from Zhou Xingchi.
In 2016, Jia Ling established the Big Bowl Entertainment Company, signed Zhang Xiaofei, Xu Juncong, He Huan and other artists, hoping to build a Jia comedy empire.
Also in this year, Jia Ling participated in the variety show "Comedy Story", the program team asked her to complete an original sketch in a short period of time, thinking about it, she decided to integrate her thoughts of her mother into the work, so "Hello, Li Huanying" was born.
After the show was broadcast, this sketch touched countless viewers, which gave Jia Ling a lot of confidence, she decided to put this sketch on the big screen, and spent three years preparing for it.
During the preparation of the film, Jia Ling and Shen Teng became the resident guests of the variety show "Ace to Ace", and the two formed a deep friendship and exchanged and integrated their respective comedy concepts.
In 2019, jia ling's film "Hello, Li Huanying" was launched, and in order to show support for Jia Ling, Shen Teng offered to make a cameo role.
In order not to destroy the good reputation that Shen Teng has accumulated for a long time, Jia Ling changed the script and changed it, making the role of Shen Guanglin, played by Shen Teng, very pleasing.
On February 12, 2021, "Hello, Li Huanying" was released, and the box office and word-of-mouth ranked first in the same period of film, and the mother-daughter emotions shown in it touched countless audiences, and finally received a super high box office of 5.4 billion.
Today's Shen Teng is already a 20 billion box office actor, he firmly occupies a place in comedy movies, I hope he can always maintain his original intention, to bring more and better works to the audience.
Whether Shen Teng can grow into the next Zhou Xingchi, let us wait and see!
