After many comedians, such as Xiao Shenyang, Shen Teng and Chang Yuan, transformed into directors, Song Xiaobao also embarked on this road and directed the film "Diary of Making a Rich" for the first time.
In order to promote the new play, he specially invited his tutor Zhao Benshan to write an inscription for the new play when it was released. Master and apprentice who have been separated for many days have no strangeness in getting along, and the conversation is very relaxed and interesting.
Zhao Benshan quipped, "I've finished writing it for you. Don't call me if the box office is not good." .
Song Xiaobao replied humorously, "If I want to sell too much, don't share it with me, master".
Although both of them are full of humor, it seems that the film will add a lot of color, but the audience will not pay the bill.
Many people complain that anyone can be a director now? The implication is that they don't think much of Song Xiaobao's new play.
In fact, this can't blame the public for their high vision.
After all, most of the comedians' output in recent years are bad films, and there is no doubt that they will fail as soon as they are released.
In addition, at the peak of Song Xiaobao, it began to decline, with fewer and fewer good works, jokes lacking originality, and the audience's attraction decreased.
Therefore, it is normal for people to question that he is a director.
Bottom line: Did you start making cross-border movies before you fully understood the sketches of the old line?
The new drama was called decline before it was released, which not only confirmed that Song Xiaobao's works were being "filtered" by the times, but also reflected that the "Zhao Jiaban" school was gradually declining.
Song Xiaobao was born in an extremely poor family. In order to supplement his family, he dropped out of school to work in the second grade.
That year, he was 15 years old.
At that time, he had no skills and could only be the simplest dishwasher. His monthly salary is only 300 yuan, barely enough to live on.
This mediocre life was changed after four years.
/kloc-when he was 0/9 years old, he saw the duo go to the countryside to perform, and he twisted a few times with excitement, which happened to be seen by actor Jiao Xiaolong.
Jiao Xiaolong thought it was a good prospect and accepted it as an apprentice.
From then on, I began to learn duets from Master and constantly performed in Anshan and other places to hone my level. In 2007, Song Xiaobao's skills have been greatly improved, and he can perform freely on the stage.
In the same year, when he performed duet in Jilin, this funny expression attracted Zhao Benshan, and he was immediately accepted as his apprentice and became the 32nd apprentice in Zhao Jiaban.
At that time, Zhao Benshan had already become a well-known "sketch wizard", and his career was in a glorious period. Being appreciated by him means that his fate can be changed.
Therefore, Song Xiaobao also worked hard in the team, hoping to get the support of Master.
But unfortunately, before him, Zhao Benshan had regarded Xiao Shenyang as a "key disciple", so he naturally didn't pay special attention to him.
Plus, he's new here, and there are still many unaccustomed places, so Zhao Benshan didn't take him to the Spring Festival Evening, but let him participate in the TV series "Mr. Kanto" first.
Two years later, he became an experienced senior, so Zhao Benshan invited him to participate in the variety show "Benshan Camp", and he gradually became famous for his outstanding performance in the program.
Seeing that Song Xiaobao's performance was getting better and better, Zhao Benshan decided to take him to perform a sketch himself. 20 1 1 cooperated with Liaoning Spring Festival Evening program "Blind Date".
With two classic lines: "Look at your color decline" and "Haiyan, you can have a snack", the audience began to remember this small, dark-skinned, red hat-loving and very funny sketch actor-Song Xiaobao.
However, it was not this sketch that made him popular, but the reality show Happy Comedian.
Four years later, he stepped onto the stage of comedian, where he created countless hilarious programs.
One of the most classic sentences is: "There are 3,000 beautiful women in this harem, but the emperor dotes on me. I advised the emperor to insist on rain and dew, but the emperor wouldn't listen."
Gradually, the audience likes this unique funny actor more and more. Although it was the "Twist FunAge" team that won the championship that year, it became the one with the highest popularity and audience.
This year, he was completely on fire, his career began to peak, and his popularity was even higher than that of Xiao Shenyang.
It is said that at that time, he spent 800,000 yuan on his first appearance in "Happy Comedian", and took over more than 20 variety shows the next year.
If roughly estimated, the commercial value of Song Xiaobao may reach hundreds of millions.
The apprentice is so excellent, what should the master be like?
Interestingly, Song Xiaobao's fame coincides with Zhao Benshan's retirement. When a fire broke out in Song Xiaobao, it was the time when Zhao Benshan was in decline.
20 1 1 year, Song Xiaobao has its own popularity, but this year is Zhao Benshan's last appearance at the Spring Festival Gala.
Since then, the apprentice's struggle in front of the curtain has intensified, but Master just wants to go back backstage.
Two years later, Zhao Benshan, who has made a lot of money and achieved great success, officially announced his withdrawal from the Spring Festival Evening stage.
Who had expected that after leaving the Spring Festival Gala, his momentum plummeted and his popularity plummeted. In those years, his business activities were also cut off a lot.
The most interesting thing is that the Benshan Art College of Liaoning University, which once gained a lot of popularity with the golden signboard of "Zhao Benshan", was officially renamed as the Art College of Liaoning University on 20 15.
At this time, the criticism about Zhao Benshan is getting louder and louder, and even some professors bluntly said: Zhao Benshan's era is over.
The era of criticism has also dealt a great blow to Zhao Benshan. Maybe he really fell into the land of decline.
Fortunately, at this time, Song Xiaobao has created his own world in the entertainment circle, and has also successfully created his own "sketch characteristics" and become a famous contemporary comedian.
This is a relief for Zhao Jiaban.
But this good luck didn't last long. A year later, Song Xiaobao hit rock bottom.
At that time, more and more viewers found that Song Xiaobao often appeared in variety shows, but few new sketches appeared. Even the works are just "old wine in new bottles", and there is nothing new.
Most importantly, in 20 16, he participated in the Liaoning Spring Festival Evening sketch "Eating Noodles", which caused a heated discussion among netizens.
Although this work is full of the word "nothing wrong", many viewers said that as long as you look closely, you can find that Song Xiaobao's funny features are nothing more than self-mockery, loud expression and a little pretentious.
Moreover, after reading his sketches, everyone basically laughed off the following, and there would be no deep thinking and memory.
In addition, the routine of each sketch is similar. After a long time, as long as you look at the beginning of the sketch, you can almost guess the end quickly.
This kind of "fast-food work" can no longer meet the requirements of today's times, and it is difficult to create the hilarious point of that year. It lacked freshness and audience popularity, and Song Xiaobao's career began to decline.
The following year, Song Xiaobao's comedy sketch "kebab" pushed him to the forefront again for three reasons.
First, this program is not much different from previous sketches. Generally speaking, programs that can make the audience laugh are basically about some unexpected burdens for the audience.
Only in this way can differences be created and the audience can laugh naturally.
Watching the same program, everyone can quickly think of the next joke, which is equivalent to being spoiled in advance, and there is nothing to watch, and the work is naturally difficult to make people laugh.
Secondly, there is a story about drinking wine in a kebab. Song Xiaobao basically "drinks" or blows into a bottle. This has caused a lot of people's dissatisfaction, thinking that this plot is vulgar.
Because of his "true drinking" joke, it triggered a craze for the public to discuss his early works.
Some people began to move Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao's "Eating Noodles", saying that the previous sketches were basically non-physical performances, but they could cause * * * sounds, which also confirmed that Song Xiaobao's works were not as good as before.
Finally, if we compare Zhao Benshan's and Song Xiaobao's works, we can see that Master's works have connotations. How could they lose to his disciples?
For example, in 199 1 year, a new marriage phenomenon appeared in Zhao Benshan's essay Xiao Jiu Lao Le, which also represented the improvement of women's status.
Or 1999' s essay "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" reflects the differences in decades of reform, indicating that people's happiness is getting higher and higher.
Besides, there are many works that are so close to the facts, interesting, vivid and thought-provoking. Looking around, the quality of Song Xiaobao's works has not reached this level.
The reason may be that Zhao Benshan is not brilliant and it is difficult to take his disciples to a new height.
At this time, Song Xiaobao realized that it was difficult for him to create many admirable works, and because of his poor health, he decided to take a break.
At the end of 20 16, we announced our farewell to variety shows. Since then, his activities in front of the screen have gradually decreased.
The following year, Degang Guo began to direct the film Nineteen Generations of Ancestors, and his fellow brother Xiao Shenyang was also filming the film "Fierce Insects Crossing the River", and the audience had certain expectations.
I don't know if it influenced me, but Song Xiaobao also decided to pursue his dream and try to become a director.
In the same year, preparations for the film "diary of making a fortune" began, and it was officially released this year.
The audience is hopeless until they see the trailer. After seeing the trailer, everyone even called "the bad film is undoubtedly".
The first is this familiar duet style, which shows its charm.
Then, there is such an old routine of "self-deprecating height".
Then at the end of the film, there may be a "touching ending" about the children, just like the "happy head and sad tail" in the traditional sketch, which forcibly sensationalized.
It's just the story of the trailer, and it's hard to make the audience laugh. Take a movie as an example, the most wonderful thing is this short film, which basically combines the most wonderful plot of the whole drama.
If you can't make the audience laugh at this moment, you really can't imagine what a feature film is.
And now the audience of movies are all young people. Everyone has seen countless jokes on the Internet, and their desire for new things is very high. Only relying on "local style" can't catch the hearts of the audience.
This time, Song Xiaobao, who has already suffered a big loss in the sketch, may not be able to make use of the movie to save the momentum.
In fact, when Zhao Benshan's industrial empire is "declining", Song Xiaobao is not the only one affected.
Previously, the comedy "Fierce Worms Crossing the River", directed and performed by Xiao Shenyang, suffered a career failure.
This film, called "epic film", scored only 3.7 points.
Even the People's Daily criticized it as "the story is popular and the characters are thin", which shows that the content of this work is empty and there is no hierarchy.
Wen Song is also one of Zhao Benshan's apprentices. When he was concentrating on sketching, he circled countless powders with a "sissy" attitude.
Then, he began to transform into an actor, but the box office of "Rescue Wang Xingren" starring him was only 265,438+million, which was completely overturned.
The "Xia Yao" starring him and Liu Lian has been released for less than a few days.
Even "Fengtian Past" and "Laughing and Stealing Rivers and Lakes" starring "Zhao Jiaban" have been vomited by countless audiences, and the score is too low to bear to look straight.
Therefore, it is difficult for Zhao Benshan today to return to the situation that Zhao Jiaban also fell into decline when his career reached its peak.
Disciples, mainly Song Xiaobao, were criticized.
After that, the future of his disciples is unknown.
