Recently, the topic of having children or not is very lively, and judging from the speeches of all parties, it has to be said that the family form of "Dink" is not a big deal in the literary and art circles.
Among them, the most powerful thing to say about "Dink" is the famous actor Lei Kesheng's family, of course, it is not Lei Kesheng himself Dink, he has a son and a daughter. Unexpectedly, Lei Kesheng's sons and daughters chose "Dink" in their respective families, and Lei Kesheng, who was in his eighties, not only had grandchildren, but also could not hold his grandson.
Just kidding, if someone travels from thirty years ago to the present and sees that Lei Kesheng doesn't even have a child in his family, he may be shocked: "You won't always hit the bare stick until now, right?" ”
Of course, this is a skit, "Lazy Man Blind Date" starring Lei Kesheng, Song Dandan and Zhao Lianjia in the spring evening of 1989.
One or five days of classic sketches
In our impression, there are still many classic sketches at the Spring Festival Gala in 1989, such as "A Day of a Heroic Mother" partnered by Teacher Zhao Lirong and Hou Yaowen, and "Sima Cylinder Smashing Cylinder" has been passed down to this day. There are also Huang Hong, Shi Shengjie's debut in the Spring Festival Gala's "Recruitment" and Chen Peisi's personal work "Pepper Noodles".
What the audience does not know is that behind the success of these classic sketches, countless works have fallen, and in the week before the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, the spring festival gala directors Zhao An and Zhang Xiaohai eliminated seven sketches, so that the number of programs is not enough. Wang Feng, then director of CCTV, asked his subordinates to call Zhao Lianjia, a creative expert of the Central Radio Rap Troupe, and asked him to come to the rescue.
Zhao Lianjia was ordered to come up with a sketch script called "TV Village", which probably means that the village created a "TV village" so that every household had a TV set, but there was no single stick, in order to cope with the people who came to observe and investigate, they used shoe boxes as TV sets.
As soon as Wang Feng saw the script, he immediately made a decision: "That's it, but the theme still needs to be changed, and the "TV Village" is changed to "Lazy Blind Date" to publicize labor to get rich."
In this way, a satirical "TV Village" that satirizes the wind of formalism has been turned into a satirical lazy "Lazy Blind Date" by Wang Feng.
The sketch "Lazy Blind Date" took only five days to write with review and rehearsal, which is a divine speed. The point is that although the time is short, the structure, baggage and performance of this skit are all first-class, which can be called a classic saved in five days.
Of course, it is also because of the tight time, the prop master hurriedly bought a torn cardboard box from the CCTV door commissary to use it as a prop, and as a result, the broken cardboard box was dangling when it was used as a TV set.
Second, two starring actors who debuted at the Spring Festival Gala
"Lazy Man Blind Date" has three actors, Zhao Lianjia, who plays the village chief, is one of the authors, and his image playing the village chief is also more appropriate, but the choice of the other two actors is not touching the north, why? Because Lei Kesheng, who plays the lazy man, and Song Dandan, who plays Wei Shufen, are both drama actors, one from the National Drama Theatre and one from Beijing Renyi, both of them have not been involved in comedy sketches before, let alone on the Spring Festival Gala.
In the end, why Lei Kesheng and Song Dandan were chosen, there is no authoritative statement now, and Song Dandan herself said that she did not know who recommended her. According to the author's analysis, there may be the following two reasons:
First, there were no professional sketch actors at that time, and the main role of acting sketches came from three fields, cross-talk, drama and film, and even Chen Peisi Zhu Shimao was mainly acting in movies. Therefore, at that time, many sketch writers would recommend actors with suitable characters, and it did not matter which field the actor was in, so that the optional noodles were relatively wide, unlike later, which could only be selected from Zhao Benshan, Huang Hong, Pan Changjiang, Cai Ming, Gong Hanlin and Guo Donglin. For example, Shi Lin, the author of "A Day in a Heroic Mother", marked it below when he created the sketch script: Zhao Da Niang suggested that Zhao Lirong of the China Critics Theater should play it.
The second reason may have something to do with the fact that Lei Kesheng and Song Dandan had collaborated on two films before that. These two films, one is "Silly Manager" starring Chen Peisi, and the other is "Crescent Moon" starring Song Dandan and Sichen Gaowa.
In "Silly Manager", Lei Kesheng starred in the supporting role of Lao Qi, a cadre of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and Song Dandan played Yingzi, and the two had some rival scenes.
In "Crescent Moon", Song Dandan played a dust girl in the second half of the film, while Lei Kesheng played a pleasure seeker, and the two also had a wonderful rivalry.
There may be a relationship between these two films, so the age difference between Lei Kesheng and Song Dandan, who is more than twenty years old, is bound together, it should be said that Lei Kesheng's image is still more suitable for playing a lazy man, but the twenty-eight-year-old song Dandan, who is still like a collagen onion, starred in Wei Shufen, who is tuhaha, is somewhat "destroyed", of course, this is relative to her previous works. Therefore, Song Dandan almost temporarily picked up the pick and did not act.
Third, Yingda's father Yingruocheng's evaluation
Before the start of the Spring Festival Gala, the rehearsal time of "Lazy Man Blind Date" was very tight, Song Dandan came early and returned home every day to rehearse, but she did not expect that within two days she suddenly found the director and said that she would not do it, and the director was immediately anxious: "Song Dandan, do you know how many people have sharpened their heads and want to go to the Spring Festival Gala, do you know how much creation is needed for the last Spring Festival Gala, do you know how many programs we have killed?" ”
Song Dandan shook his head in confusion: "I don't know."
The incident was in Yingda's father, Yingruo Cheng, who Song Dandan's autobiography called him "former father-in-law". Yingruocheng is not only the elder of Song Dandan, but also the predecessor of Beijing people in art, no matter from which aspect he looks at what he says is very important to Song Dandan.
Ying Ruocheng did not know that Song Dandan went to rehearse the sketch, he asked Song Dandan what he was doing these days, Song Dandan answered very honestly in the rehearsal sketch to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala, she played an old girl with a bad look in the sketch, kicked the thermos for a while, and sat on the balloon for a while.
Ying Ruocheng frowned when he heard it: "What's the matter?" Holding meat hemp as fun? ”
This was not only said by her father-in-law, but also by the elders of Beijing's art, Song Dandan naturally listened, and she admitted: "Yes, it is interesting to take meat and hemp." ”
Although Ying Ruocheng did not object, Song Dandan himself broke out in a cold sweat, yes, he is a drama actor, how can he play such a shallow role, if the teachers of the art see it, how disappointed they are.
So Song Dandan came to resign the next day, in peacetime, eight Song Dandan asked to resign the director group is not afraid, some people want to go to the Spring Festival Gala, but this time can not, in the director group's strong retention, Song Dandan finally reluctantly played the role of Wei Shufen.
Song Dandan's first sentence in the sketch won the meeting well: "My name is Wei Shufen, I am twenty-nine years old this year, and I am still unmarried", it is said that this Accent with Shandong flavor is still the advice given to Song Dandan by Shandong Daiyou Ni Ping.
Looking back now, it seems that Yingruocheng's evaluation was a bit overheated, but in that year, the drama industry's view of the sketch was indeed average, and Yingruocheng, as the leader of the drama industry, was naturally not exempt from vulgarity. However, the old artist still has a considerable mind.
Although "Lazy Man Blind Date" made Song Dandan debut at the Spring Festival Gala, and 'Wei Shufen' was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, she did not use this to become famous in one fell swoop. Coincidentally, Huang Hong, who debuted at the Spring Festival Gala in the same year, did not become famous, but he "saw" the potential of Song Dandan's performance sketch.
At the 1990 New Year's Day party, Huang Hong and Song Dandan starred in their famous sketch "Super Life Guerrilla", and Song Dandan, who was pregnant with Batu in her belly, became popular in one fell swoop, which also made her feel the taste of overnight fame.
According to Song Dandan's autobiography, the day after the performance, she and Yingruocheng went to the street together, everyone on the street saw her will take the initiative to greet her warmly, Song Dandan, who has a big belly, is a little embarrassed, and Yingruocheng continues to say thank you to the crowd behind. Song Dandan quipped to the drama senior: "There is something about you here." Ying Ruocheng happily told Song Dandan: "They are all your audience." ”
In the eyes of old artists, the audience's liking is the biggest praise, so he then starred in "I Love My Family" cooperated by his son and daughter-in-law, and he was more or less "meaty" once.
Fourth, there are pros and cons
"Lazy Blind Date" is a task for the director team of the 1989 Spring Festival Gala. For the average audience, this is a classic and funny skit.
For Zhao Lianjia, there was no change in life. The same is true for Lei Kesheng, who later appeared on the Spring Festival Gala very few times, but he has worked a lot in film and television dramas.
But for Song Dandan, "Lazy Blind Date" brought great changes to her, and even influenced her artistic career in the following decades.
Before "Lazy Blind Date", Song Dandan was already a well-known drama actor and film and television actor, she won the first prize of the Ministry of Culture performance through the drama "Red and White Happy Event", and her TV series "Finding the World Back", the movie "Silly Manager" and "Crescent Moon" were also well received.
Especially worth mentioning is the film "Crescent Moon" adapted from Lao She's work, Song Dandan played the female number one in this less famous movie, and the protagonist she played Han Yuerong was pure and invincible in the first half, and the second half was feminine and charming, which can be called a post-film performance, and did not lose another heroine, Sichengova, who has taken the title of queen of the film.
It should be said that if Song Dandan goes down the road of drama and film and television, she will surely become a diva-level actress in the field of film and television in China.
However, "Lazy Man Blind Date" changed Song Dandan's play path, starting from this sketch, she later cooperated with Huang Hong to lay the foundation for the popularity of the sketch queen, and then partnered with Zhao Benshan to reach the peak position in the sketch world. Coupled with her starring role in "I Love My Home", the identity of the queen of comedy is not to mention more.
The funny nature of the sketch gives Song Dandan a comedy label that she does not want, she is not unable to act in comedy, she does not want to fix herself on comedy. But contrary to her wishes, she would laugh even if she played a tragedy on the stage of Renyi, which also made Song Dandan very distressed, so she stayed away from the Spring Festival Gala twice in the middle until she never went back. Even so, after that, whether Song Dandan acted in movies or TV series or even attended variety shows, the roles he played were more or less comedic.
It should be said that "Lazy Blind Date" opened the door to comedy for Song Dandan, but also indirectly closed the upward passage for her to become a diva in the film industry. This is probably the distress of most comedians.
