I took a look.
Oh, my God.
Borrow the tone of Song Xiaobao, he said, what the hell is this? Is that all? !
Originally, I came to show Zhao Benshan a play. After watching half an episode with my nose held, I just wanted to ask a question:
What does Zhao Benshan want?
Invited more than half of the comedy stars in the entertainment circle to help out, spent so much manpower, material resources and financial resources, and brought out a pot of stew with all kinds of leftovers all night.
The stalks used are all old terrier, and sitcoms from decades ago such as I Love My Family and A Family in Northeast China are all overused.
The story is also fabricated, arbitrary, almost to the extent of how to make it up.
How can this be accepted by the audience?
Does the creator think the audience is stupid and easy to fool?
What about good people?
What about the sincerity of the agreement?
If you really can't make up a good play, why not stay at home quietly?
Why do you have to make such nutritious things to ruin Everbright's goodwill towards Benshan Media?
How disturbing this is.
How disappointing this is.
This is not the first time that we have been disappointed in Zhao Benshan.
When Liu Laogen 3 came out last year, we had been disappointed once.
Liu Laogen was once called the pinnacle of rural TV series in China.
Both Liu Laogen's first and second films left us an excellent impression. Both the story and the actor's performance are so vivid and unforgettable.
But when it comes to Liu Laogen 3, what we see is not a sequel to Liu Laogen at all, but more like a replica of a country love story.
We didn't see the reality that Liu Laogen should have. On the contrary, we cannot turn a blind eye to timidity and perfunctory from the inside out.
When a chef does not cook delicious food for customers carefully, but lets himself fly and fool himself at will, then his restaurant is not far from closing.
This is especially true for artistic creators.
In fact, Zhao Benshan understands the importance of the word "earnest" better than anyone else.
He is an artist from the lowest level and a real grassroots.
He knows best how difficult it is for a person with no background to stand out and be respected.
In the northeast, there are many people with artistic talent like him, but why did he only become the "king of sketching"?
I think the most important thing is that he has brought his comic art to the extreme.
If not, he would not have been discovered by Jiang Kun and introduced to the Spring Festival Gala.
If there were no Spring Festival Gala, there would be no Zhao Benshan we later knew.
1990, Zhao Benshan first boarded the CCTV Spring Festival Evening performance sketch "Blind Date", which made us shine at the moment.
This sketch is really a burden in one sentence, which makes the audience laugh once every three seconds. Every movement and expression of Zhao Benshan, after careful design, is the source of the audience's joy.
So he quickly got everyone's approval.
In fact, the most real group in the world is the audience watching the play under the stage. As long as you behave well, everyone will really support you.
Zhao Benshan was praised by the audience from the beginning.
At that time, he was also worthy of our praise.
In his own words, every year in the Spring Festival Evening, he starts to prepare for the sketch six months in advance, and it is common to stay up all night for a burden.
He must have taken it for granted at that time.
Because an artist should present his best works to the audience, right?
Only by constantly exporting excellent works can we get real recognition and respect from everyone.
In the 1990s, Zhao Benshan's acting career was at its peak.
At that time, everyone really liked Zhao Benshan.
We sincerely applaud him. At the same time, no matter what art form he develops, we support it unconditionally.
From 65438 to 0999, he invested in the film "Director and Director", and we supported him very much. Not only did he go to the cinema to increase the box office for him, but he also voted for him all the precious votes in the Hundred Flowers Award contest. In the end, the film "The Director and the Director", which was not very brilliant at that time, won the 22nd Hundred Flowers Award Award for Best Feature Film. And Zhao Benshan himself, also won the title of film emperor.
In 2003, he advocated "green duet" and we supported him. Because promoting excellent folk art is a good thing in itself. So after he built the "Liu Laogen Stage", we all went to pay tribute.
200 1, he started making TV series, and we also supported him. Liu Laogen, which he directed for the first time, won good ratings as soon as it was launched. There is no bizarre plot in this drama, and it takes a very grounded civilian route, but it gives people the feeling that it is particularly close to the audience. The flesh-and-blood characters in the play, humorous and simple lines, and the real and natural performances of the actors all make us unforgettable.
This is a work carefully presented to us by Zhao Benshan.
The same is true of the production of Ma Dashuai.
The same is true of the first and second parts of the country love story.
But later, as Zhao Benshan became more and more famous, the influence of Benshan Media became more and more prominent. Did you feel that those works made by Zhao Benshan became more and more "watery"?
The first time and the second time, we can bear it, because no matter how powerful an artist is, it is impossible for every work to become a classic.
However, if every subsequent work is disappointing, even if the reputation he accumulated before is no matter how good, it will disappear.
And even if Zhao Benshan has more capital, he can't bear to have so many mouths to be eaten by disciples all his life.
In fact, the producer of The Legend of Grand Hotels is not Zhao Benshan.
But he is the chief producer.
That is to say, whether he wants to make this play or not, his name is him.
And the biggest publicity point of the play is also him.
Therefore, Zhao Benshan can't say that the legend of the Grand Hotel was hit at random by everyone, and he has no responsibility at all.
At least, as the parent company of Benshan Media, he didn't control the quality.
In addition to Zhao Benshan, The Legend of the Grand Hotel also brings together movie stars such as Pan Changjiang, Sammo Hung, Ceng Zhiwei and Ada. Such a lineup should have won a good reputation, but in fact it is just the opposite. Many viewers came because of these stars, but after seeing them, they found that they were performing collectively. The final result of this psychological gap is that, first, these stars are destroyed in the hearts of the audience, and second, everyone is more dissatisfied with the stunt of The Legend of the Grand Hotel.
Benshan Media has never produced excellent works before, such as Liu Laogen, Ma Dashuai, country love, cherry and so on. They all gained a good reputation. But now, why are people increasingly disappointed with country love series? Why are they so resistant to their blockbuster The Legend of the Grand Hotel?
I think the most important reason is that their pursuit of art is no longer so rigorous and they don't understand the real needs of the audience. If their comedy still stays at the level of playing cheap and hurting people, don't blame the audience for going far.
I read your comments on The Legend of the Grand Hotel on the Internet. I have to say, these commentators are much more talented than screenwriters. For example, some people say that it was a rumor of contemporary Wulin before broadcasting, but it turned out to be an expired Spring Festival Evening after broadcasting. Some said: after watching two episodes, I suddenly felt that country love was quite good. Ha ha ha, I think this sentence is particularly funny.
At present, The Legend of the Grand Hotel has no rating in Douban. It's probably not a big hit, because even a star, you have to give me a reason.
So, goodbye, the legend of the hotel.
And Zhao Benshan, after seeing his "Liu Laogen 3", we very much expect him to have a famous work to restore his former reputation and prove his real strength in his later years. However, left and right, only waiting for such a "Legend of the Grand Hotel".
When hope becomes desperate, who says it is not the greatest pain?
Once, I was a huge fan of Zhao Benshan. Now, I just want to say goodbye, Zhao Benshan.
If one day, he can come up with a good work that can stand scrutiny like Liu Laogen, then it is not too late for us to come back then.
