Pig Brother Liang, whose real name is Xie Xinda, was born in December 1946, and decided to leave his hometown at the age of fourteen, and then joined a new troupe because of acting and began his acting career.
Pig Brother Liang's life is a life of ups and downs and legends, he was once the king of Taiwanese variety shows, and he also owed up to 200 million debts because of good bets; he also retired and made a comeback, behind the laughter that brought the audience, there are actually too many unknown experiences. Looking back at the ups and downs of Brother Pig's life in the past 70 years, it is indispensable to help him reach the peak of his career.
Lin Song smoke
Pig Brother Liang left his hometown to wander in the society when he was a teenager, and after he joined the new troupe, he worshiped Lin Songyan as a teacher and began to study in the background, following the troupe around.
Seventeen was a turning point in his career, and during a performance by the new troupe, the actor in the most important role, Dwarf Tu, was accidentally stabbed in the foot by a nail, and his injuries suddenly worsened in the middle of the night, making it impossible to perform. Pig Brother Liang realized that this was his chance to go on stage so he and the boss proposed to replace the dwarf boy tu to act, did not expect to be scolded by the boss, pig brother Liang to find the master to help explain, and finally the boss decided to let the pig brother liang audition, did not expect the response is very good, but two months later the dwarf boy Tu's foot injury is good, pig brother Liang does not want to go back to the curtain, so Lin Songyan introduced him to another newly established troupe, with talented performance ability plus continuous efforts, pig brother Liang became a professional screenwriter and actor, pig brother Liang can seize two opportunities, Of course, his own ability is very important, but Master's help is also very important.
For this reason, Pig Brother Liang has actually always been grateful to Master Lin Songyan. Later, Pig Brother Liang rose to become the king of Taiwan's variety show industry, but he still often mentioned his master. In 2014, "Huashi Tianwang Pig Brother Show" won the ratings championship, at the celebration party, Pig Brother Liang ate a cauldron of dishes with the staff, he said that eating with the team was influenced by Master Lin Songyan, when Lin Songyan took good care of the drama class, eating together, adding vegetables together, and treating the actors as family, which brought great influence to Brother Pig Liang.
You Dongrong
After retiring from the army, Pig Brother Liang opened a clothing company in his hometown of Zuoying, and when he was thirty-one years old, director You Dongrong came to find Pig Brother Liang to act, and Pig Brother Liang, who has always been very enthusiastic about acting, readily agreed and participated in the performance of "Liao Tianding" at the Kaohsiung Today Opera House. Unexpectedly, he became a sensation in the township because he served as the clown "Brother Pig Liang" in the play. Since then, the name "Brother Pig" has replaced his real name.
Liao Tianding's drama may not be well known to mainland audiences, but it can be described as a household name in Taiwan. Liao Tim Ting was a well-known Jianghu man during the Japanese occupation period in Taiwan, because his criminal record seems to show anti-Japanese ideas, and there are rumors of robbing the rich and helping the poor, which later evolved into an anti-Japanese legend in Taiwanese folk tales, somewhat similar to "Swallow Li San". There are many works about Liao Tianding, and after becoming famous with the role of Brother Pig, Brother Pig Liang later starred in the hilarious drama "Brother Pig and JiaQingjun" and "Brother Pig Liang Tour Ximending" and other works. Let the image of Brother Pig Shine become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Emperor Zhang
After the performance of "Liao Tianding", Pig Geliang was recommended by Zhang Jian, as well as the appreciation and chest guarantee of Zhang Di, the "King of Urgent Wisdom Singers" who was already very popular at that time, and entered the hottest sapphire song hall founded by Yang Dengkui on Bade Road in Kaohsiung City at that time, serving as a director and screenwriter. Thus officially began his runway career.
To say that Zhang Dili recommended Pig Brother Liang, in fact, there is no selfishness, he is only attracted to him as soon as he sees Pig Brother Liang, and he thinks that he has a strong ability to see people, and whether it is himself or Pig Brother Liang, he believes that as an actor, he is living for the audience and for the stage, so he feels that he has the responsibility to tap this talent. After the two pig brother Liang and Zhang Di together on the "Wanxiu Big Card File" program, Pig Brother Liang himself also said, if there is no Zhang Di, can not enter the sapphire, he wrote the script people can not understand, is Zhang Di patted his chest and said, if the pig brother is not red within three months, I Zhang Di will no longer come down to Kaohsiung to perform. Hearing such harsh words, "My whole pee is scared out." Therefore, Zhang Di is actually the Bole of Pig Brother Liang, of course, after Brother Pig Liang became red, Zhang Di never gave up his attention to him, and still gave him a lot of help after he fell into a comeback, and also expressed his expectations for him in the song, hoping that he could forget the lottery and cheer up again.
Yang Dengkui
As mentioned earlier, Pig Brother Liang made his mark in sapphire, and sapphire is the song hall run by Yang Dengkui. Yang Dengkui is also a legend in Taiwan, when he was young, he devoted himself to the underworld, and then established the "Dengkui Film Company" and became a well-known figure in the film industry, he single-handedly founded the Sapphire Song Hall, the First Media, the Eight Televisions, etc. when he was young, and became a veritable media tycoon across the three worlds of film, television and song. Pig Brother Liang, Xu Bu and others were discovered into the show business circle because of sapphire performances, And Pig Brother Liang successfully returned to variety shows, and the most grateful one is Yang Dengkui.
Brother Pig retired due to a huge gambling debt, of which 120 million Taiwan dollars were the performance advances borrowed by Brother Pig from his agent Yang Dengkui. After 2009, he wanted to make a comeback, because he still had a contract with Yang Dengkui, the founder of the eight major TV companies, and if he wanted to make a comeback, he first had to have Yang Dengkui's consent. If Yang Dengkui does not agree, he will never come back. Yang Dengkui said that he is old, no longer like before can call the wind and rain, if you help Brother Pig Liang to contact the comeback, afraid that too many people will find him, he will not be able to stand, so he has a "three noes" policy to respond to Brother Pig Liang's comeback, that is, do not block the comeback, do not collect debts, do not help. He also said that Brother Pig Liang should change his old habits and stop causing trouble in society. He also advised Brother Pig liang that if he wanted to make a comeback, he should not sign a long-term brokerage contract.
In the face of the media, Pig Geliang emotionally said sorry to Yang Dengkui three times, and repeatedly stated that he would change his bad habits one hundred percent, hoping that everyone would give him a chance. Yang Dengkui asked Pig Geliang to promise his "three noes and one haves", that is, not to eat betel nuts, not to gamble, not to smoke, and to have a sense of responsibility to his family. In fact, at this step, I believe that Yang Dengkui has already treated Brother Pig as a family.
