15 years ago, the costume sitcom "Wulin WaiChuan" came out and landed on the golden file of major television stations, becoming an indelible classic in the memory of many people.
This TV series has become popular with Yao Chen, Yan Ni, Sha Yi and a group of talented actors with acting skills, which is a turning point in their careers for many cast members involved in the creation of "Wulin Wai Biography".
So, why is the chief screenwriter of the TV series "Wulin Wai Biography", Ning Caishen, who is known as the "ghost talent screenwriter" by the industry, now fade out of people's sight?
Just when everyone was guessing what kind of peak he could climb, the occurrence of one thing made him quickly fall into the trough and fade out of the public eye.
What is the truth of the matter? Is there really only a line between "genius" and "madman"?
Today, let's talk about his story.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > from "teenage school bully" to "business genius": I am not a real genius teenager</h1>
Ning Caishen, whose original name was Chen Wanning, was born in Shanghai in 1975.
Ning Caishen's father was the first generation of futures traders in China, making a living from this, the popularity is very large, and he is still in the field of futures and has a high reputation.
Perhaps influenced by his father, Ning Caishen has shown super talent since childhood, is the leader in the eyes of teachers and classmates, academically he jumped all the way, only 15 years old was admitted to the International Finance major of East China University of Science and Technology in Shanghai, one of the 211 Universities in China, the major is also the school's trump card major, which makes people very envious.
Therefore, Ning Caishen is also known as a "genius teenager".
However, ning Caishen himself did not approve of this title.
He once said in an interview: "The real genius teenagers are people who can get into the ideal university at the age of seven or eight, and I am not a medium one." ”
This sentence is very modest, but it can also be seen from it that Ning Caishen himself is a very assertive person, and he will not be complacent because of the high evaluation of the outside world, or even get carried away.
It is precisely in this way that Ning Caishen, with his own wisdom and modesty, showed amazing business acumen during his college years.
He would go to the senior students of the previous level, recycle their notes at the price of waste paper, and organize and bind them into books in his free time.
Then, they used these materials as valuable learning materials and sold them to students of the same grade at a low price, and they could earn dozens of dollars a book.
Of course, these small profits could not satisfy the desire of Ning Caishen at all, he opened his own exclusive small shop in the school, he sold clothes, resold CDs, took over the campus agent, and expanded his business step by step.
Although these are small businesses, it is enough for him to make a lot of money during his college years, and because of this, his deeds have been continuously circulated and he has become a legend in the school.
After graduation, he went north and south, and together with friends, stepped into the futures trading market and opened up his own world.
In the first month of investment alone, he made more than 100,000 yuan, and at that time, it was 1994, and Ning Caishen was only 19 years old.
The huge profits brought by doing futures made Ning Caishen's eyes red, and he began to be fascinated by the futures market, sometimes studying at the computer for more than 20 hours a day.
However, in this industry, money comes and goes quickly, and the futures market brings high profits while it is accompanied by high risks.
But knowing that the risk is high, he still desperately bets and puts his entire life into the study of the futures market.
The consequence of this untimely stop loss is that in just a few days, due to the expansion of futures and the problems in the company's operation, Ning Caishen lost more than 3 million funds and left this sad place in frustration.
The wealth accumulated over the years was lost, and he suffered failures and blows in the first stage of his life.
Later, Ning Caishen himself summed it up: "It was myself who was too greedy, and if I had known that I had achieved success and retired, the result would definitely be a different situation." ”
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > "writing for a living" due to "entrepreneurial failure": another possibility of "fortuna"</h1>
However, life is a grand live broadcast, and there is no way back.
Although The God of Ning Caishen failed here, his legend did not end.
In 1997, at the age of 22, he opened a design company and fulfilled his dream from childhood, clearing everything about the past and starting from scratch.
Soon, with his talent and brains, the company was once again slowly on track.
Just when everyone thought that he wanted to run this company and live a safe and stable life, Ning Caishen moved a new idea.
By chance, in order to create romance for the girl he liked, he personally wrote a book for her, and although he tried to write for the first time, he felt that his literary talent seemed to be quite good, and the process of writing books was also very smooth.
As a result, this "genius" who was born uneasy with the status quo suddenly discovered his writing ability and wanted to make a living by writing.
Since then, under the pseudonym of "Ning CaiShen", he began to publish articles on the Internet, opening up a new period of his life glory.
After this mistake, Ning Caishen has successively published a series of screenwriting works such as "Contest" and "Summer of the Year of Life", with his own humorous writing style and eye-catching plot, he has gained a large number of loyal readers and fans, and since then, the writing road of Ning Caishen has gradually become brilliant.
In the face of the overwhelming praise on the Internet, his self-confidence in writing has become stronger, and his desire to create has also been rising.
Therefore, at the end of 1999, Ning Caishen returned to Shanghai and worked as an operation director on the "Under the Banyan Tree" network platform for nearly three years, during which he published a series of excellent works, which were highly sought after.
Later, together with Li Xunhuan and Xing Yusen, he also became the "troika" of online literature, which can be described as a boom.
In 2002, the internet bubble occurred, so that Ning Caishen resigned and left the "Under the Banyan Tree" website, and tried to be a screenwriter for the first time under the recommendation of his friend Yu Baimei, but this time it was not so smooth.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > from "web writer" to "ghost screenwriter": the lucky time lays the foreshadowing of crisis</h1>
Ning Caishen racked his brains and wrote the first script in his life, "The Networm Diary", which he took to Wang Shuo to read after writing it, and did not even have a word of criticism to correct it, because it was really bad.
He did not accept defeat, held his breath, closed his creation, and began a life of day and night upside down.
In 2003, very fortunately, when Ning Caishen wrote the two scripts of "Urban Men and Women" and "Health Express", he had the honor of getting acquainted with director Shang Jing, which was also the beginning of his successful screenwriting career.
It is precisely because of these two scripts that Shang Jing saw the talent of Ning Caishen, and after in-depth contact, the two almost hit it off, quite tacit understanding.
At a wine table, the two accidentally had an idea, that is, to use dramatic thinking to present a martial arts comedy and subvert the traditional martial arts script.
This is also the "Wulin Wai Biography" that later became popular throughout the country.
It is said that the birth of a good script always has to go through many tribulations. The same is true of "The Tale of Wulin".
In the early stages of the filming of "The Tale of Wulin", this drama was not recognized by the circle, because it was different from the previous martial arts drama genre, which was difficult to accept.
Faced with heavy pressure from all sides, Shang Jing and Ning Caishen filmed this script hard.
After the filming of this drama, everyone did not pay attention to it, and Ning Caishen himself did not expect this drama to be popular at all.
However, the fact is often unexpected, "Wulin Wai Biao", a martial arts drama that subverts the tradition, has been recognized by the public and has become a classic.
On January 2, 2006, the costume sitcom "Wulin Waichuan" debuted on the CCTV TV drama channel, and the ratings soared, and soon the drama was broadcast on major television stations.
The popular national martial arts drama "Wulin Waichuan" is also known as "the pinnacle of domestic sitcoms". Ning Caishen also became popular because of this, was named "ghost talent screenwriter", and has since climbed to a major peak of his life career.
In addition to the peak of his career, ning caishen's love road has also gone smoothly.
He and his wife Cheng Jiao'e met at a friend's party, when Cheng Jiao'e admired the script of "Urban Men and Women", and the two met at first sight and got along very well.
In this way, one after another, the two had feelings for each other, so Ning Caishen began to pursue Cheng Jiao'e.
They chose to get married in the three months of acquaintance, and after marriage, Cheng Jiao'e chose to resign as a full-time wife, mentioning that between her and her wife, Ning Caishen was also proud of the spring breeze.
Therefore, in the face of the reporter asking him who helped and influenced him the most in the process of creating "The Tale of Wulin", Ning Caishen directly blurted out: "It is my wife." It can be seen that Ning Caishen and Cheng Jiao'e appreciate and support each other.
At the age of 31, his life reached another peak.
In the following years, he created many excellent film and television works, such as "Laughing Jianghu", "Dragon Gate Dart Bureau", etc., which are well loved by the public, and it seems that as long as the works he participated in the screenwriting are not out of the circle, ning Caishen's reputation in the industry is also constantly improving.
His life was in the spotlight, full of flowers and applause.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the fall of the "winner of life": singing all the way and collapsing in an instant</h1>
Just when everyone thought that the life of this "genius teenager" and "ghost screenwriter" would go all the way, an accident happened.
In 2014, the "ghost screenwriter" was arrested by the police for XD, which was shocking for a while, but later confirmed by the police that this did happen, and Ning Caishen had been imprisoned.
After investigation, it was shown that Ning Caishen began to smoke DP in 2013, and it is precisely because of this that the trajectory of Ning Caishen's life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he has fallen to the bottom in an instant.
What is the reason for his willing depravity and into the abyss of DP?
It all started in 2002.
In 2002, Ning Caishen stepped into the screenwriting industry under the persuasion of his friends, and the first work was unsatisfactory, and he could not swallow this breath proudly, and was inspired to write an excellent script.
He often accompanied by tobacco, alcohol and coffee, watching the sunrise in the early morning, and writing scripts day after day.
Later, after "The Tale of Wulin" became a hit, as his reputation grew, it was accompanied by greater pressure to write.
In order to inspire his own creation, Ning Caishen came into contact with drugs by chance and became addicted to them.
And drugs, once contaminated, have no regrets.
Therefore, in 2014, Ning Caishen himself was arrested by the police for smoking methamphetamine in his room, and he himself frankly admitted to his drug abuse history for more than half a year.
He himself said: "Almost every time you write a work, you have to suck a DP." The emergence of this news has triggered public opinion.
The overwhelming invective on the Internet has caused his public image to plummet.
At the same time, a love show "Do Not Disturb" that Ning Caishen participated in recording also immediately terminated his cooperation with him, the so-called fall from heaven to hell, probably so.
However, what is even more infuriating is the attitude of Ning Caishen himself, who frankly admitted that he took drugs and said: "I have no regrets at all, and there is nothing to regret about this." Life always has to have a variety of experiences, whose life will not make mistakes, as long as they do not make mistakes in the future. ”
This sentence is undoubtedly the fuse, which directly ignites the anger in the hearts of the public, and even CCTV has criticized him as a negative case.
That year, he was 39 years old and experienced the lowest point of his life.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > from "life trough" to "investment rise"</h1>
And from the time "Wulin Waichuan" became popular across the country to his bell went to prison, it was only 8 years in between.
From June 24, 2014, Ning Caishen was controlled by the police for drug abuse, until July 6, when he was released after completing his sentence. Judging by this detention time, his return to the right track is still timely.
But the public often has zero tolerance for drug use, and this kind of tainted artist is difficult to turn over again.
In the years after that, Ning Caishen was silent for a long time, and the movie "Super Express" that participated in the screenwriting in 2016 was also generally performed, without setting off the so-called waves.
However, Ning Caishen's life seems to be born to be different, he used his talent to open a company, turned to the background, and did a good job.
In 2017, Ning Caishen suddenly reappeared in the public eye as an investor and CEO, but people seem to have gradually forgotten him, and his reappearance was also caught off guard.
After disappearing for several years, he started over and became the largest shareholder behind HiLe Pictures, investing in classic films such as "Ghost Blowing Lights" and "Blood Chang'an".
The web drama "Strange Detective of the Republic of China", which was launched in March last year, pressed the new drama at that time on the second day of launch and won the top position of the whole network, which can be described as very hot.
And when we go back to see the chief screenwriter of this TV series, we will find that it is a character named "Bao Gai Ding", and later after the industry insiders broke the news, it turned out that this was the Ning Cai God of the year.
Nowadays, the total valuation of Hi Le Film and Television Company is as high as 1.2 billion US dollars, of which Ning Caishen holds 30% of the shares, which is the largest shareholder of the company, and Ning Caishen himself is also a real billionaire.
And he only invested 3 million yuan in the past, but now he is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and has risen again, which also makes people have to sigh the business acumen of this "genius teenager".
The relationship between Ning Caishen and his wife is also very good, although he has been imprisoned, but his wife still does not give up, and the relationship between husband and wife after being released from prison is also very stable and has been very loving.
Now his living environment is very stable, not floating in Vanity Fair, turning to behind-the-scenes investment, becoming a real billionaire, and can also be regarded as a winner in life.
Looking back at the road that Ning Caishen has traveled, you will find that his life is irreproductible and unique.
From "genius teenager" to "ghost screenwriter", from "young fame" to "middle-aged and stable" The life of Ning Caishen can be described as a big ups and downs.
The so-called cliff relegation, turning back to the shore, hoping that this life is full of "weird" and many "geniuses" who are not understood, this time I truly realized the answer to fate.
So, do you think ning cai god is worthy of forgiveness?
