"Chief Gold Medal Tutor" Peisi Chen
After the poster was released, Peisi Chen immediately became an "Internet celebrity", almost completely stealing the limelight of the program "Golden Comedy Classroom". Many people are excited to tell each other about it. The online reports about "Golden Comedy Class", the following replies are almost all kinds of "Ye Qinghui".
When Peisi Chen returned to CCTV, everyone realized that Chen Xiaoer, who had been in high spirits, had turned into a 66-year-old man with a white beard. Only then did they realize that he had really left our sight for a long time.

1 February, 9541day, Peisi Chen was born in Nong 'an County, Jilin Province. His father, Chen Qiang, a famous film artist of the older generation, is deeply rooted in people's hearts because he plays classic villains such as Huang Shiren in White-haired Girl and Nan Batian in Red women soldiers, and is called a "professional villain". In 1950s, Chen Qiang visited and performed in Budapest, the Hungarian capital, with the China Youth Art Delegation. He named his two sons "Chen Buda" and "Peisi Chen" respectively.

Influenced by his father, Peisi Chen had a strong interest in acting when he was a child. In the 1960s, he successively applied for the Comrade Art Troupe of the Political Department of Beijing Military Region and the Drama Troupe of the General Political Department. However, due to the outbreak of the "Cultural Revolution" at that time, Chen Qiang was labeled as a "gangster", while Peisi Chen was not recognized as a "gangster's son".
Until 1973, China People's Liberation Army Bayi Film Studio recruited new students, and the famous film actor Tian Hua recommended Peisi Chen to try it. This time, he was successfully admitted to the actor troupe of Bayi Film Studio. However, because his looks were not outstanding, and his father, Chen Qiang, had not completely removed the "gangster" hat at that time, it was difficult for Peisi Chen to stand out in Bayi Factory and he could only play some walk-on roles. It was not until 1979 that he co-starred with his father in the film "Seeing this Family" and gradually mixed up in the entertainment circle.
Peisi Chen and Chen Qiang set up shop in their two sons.
Later, Chen Qiang and Peisi Chen co-starred in several films. In Zhao Xi Street (1982), Peisi Chen created the cartoon image of "Two Sons" for the first time, and then played this role in films such as Father and Son, Two Sons Open a Shop, Stupid Manager, Father and Son's Classic Car, and Father and Son Open a Cabin, forming a classic comedy film series. Therefore, Chen Qiang and Peisi Chen became the famous "father-son golden partners" in China film history.

However, what really established Peisi Chen's position in the comedy world was not a series of comedy films starring him, but his sketches.

When Peisi Chen was in the Actors' Troupe of Bayi Factory, there was only one public telephone in the dormitory. There were too many people calling, and they often had to queue up. During a queue, Peisi Chen met Zhu Shimao, who is also an actor in Bayi Factory. The two chatted and soon became friends.

Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao were in the same year, and Zhu Shimao was only less than two months younger than him. They are similar in age, life experience and temper, so they hit it off very well. At that time, Zhu Shimao was already an influential actor in the circle. Prior to this, he became the "Prince Charming" in the eyes of countless women because he starred in the film "Shepherd" of Shanghai Film Studio. After being transferred to Bayi Factory, Zhu Shimao wanted to seek a new breakthrough. With the support of his father, Peisi Chen appeared in many comedy films, which made him famous in the comedy world. The two hit it off and began to go out to perform privately, accumulate experience, learn acting skills and earn a little extra money.
The real turning point appeared in 1984, when the director of the Spring Festival Gala was Chen Qiang's old friend Huang Yihe. The year before, the first Spring Festival Gala directed by him was very successful, and the public commented well. Therefore, Huang Yihe intends to make persistent efforts and make innovations in the programs of the second Spring Festival Gala. At that time, the famous new partner "Zhu Chen" came into his sight. In the preparatory stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao were invited to participate in the rehearsal program.
Director Huang Yihe.
After repeated discussion and revision, Chen and Zhu came up with the program "Eating Noodles". From the perspective of hindsight, eating noodles is undoubtedly a classic in the history of China's sketches. Although the plot is simple, it is naturally interesting. But whether it was really necessary to be on this program at that time, the Spring Festival Evening program group hesitated for a long time. After all, in the eyes of people in that era, the whole program had no profound plot, and all the "burdens" were meaningless jokes. In a word, it is "nothing but funny".
Yes, in that era of "political correctness", language programs should first pay attention to "educational significance", and "being too funny" is sometimes a shortcoming. Moreover, although there was already a performance form of "sketch" at that time, it was generally considered that it was difficult to be elegant. Previously, it was only used as an examination subject in some art colleges, and it was never staged at any formal party.
Eat noodles
In the end, Huang Yihe, as the general director, pushed everyone and made the decision to take "Eating Noodles" as the official program of the Spring Festival Evening: "Now that the reform and opening up have been implemented, even Hong Kong singer Zhang Mingmin can attend the Spring Festival Evening, why can't mainland actors? I really screwed up, I am responsible! " In this way, Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao stepped onto the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, and their performances lived up to expectations. They succeeded in making all the audience at the scene and in front of the TV laugh their heads off. This work has also become one of the most popular programs in the Spring Festival Evening.
Debut is the pinnacle, and Peisi Chen gave full play to his natural comedy talent in eating noodles. Because eating noodles is the first sketch in the real sense of CCTV Spring Festival Evening, Peisi Chen is also recognized as the "first person" of China's sketch, and even redefines the concept of "sketch".

Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao, which became famous for eating noodles, became famous all over the country and started their "golden age" at the Spring Festival Evening.
ground pepper
Until 1998, Chen Hezhu attended the Spring Festival Evening of 1 1. Almost throughout the 1990s, both of them were popular kings of the Spring Festival Gala, and they were called "overlords". At that time, there were many talented people on the sketch stage: Zhao, Zhao Benshan, Gong Hanlin, etc. But at that time, Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao were always the most anticipated by the audience.
Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao have never let everyone down. From eating noodles, from making movies to kebabs, from policemen and thieves to brother-in-law and brother-in-law ..... almost all are classics full of jokes.
In 1989 Spring Festival Evening sketch "Chili Noodles", Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao communicate almost only with their eyes and body movements. The whole work has only two lines each, which is basically similar to pantomime. However, the two men cooperated tacitly and vividly portrayed the psychological activities and personality of the characters, fully showing the contrast and conflict between the inner feelings and ideological activities of the characters. In the second year, the leading role and supporting role were even promoted to masterpieces, among which Peisi Chen contributed famous sentences such as "Captain, don't shoot, it's me", "You Zhu Shimao, a guy with heavy eyebrows, unexpectedly defected to the revolution", "The imperial army asked me to send you a message" and "Who do you care who the audience likes to see?" ......
Leading role and supporting role
At that time, the combination of Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao was almost the appearance and audience of the Spring Festival Evening. In the first decade of the 20th century, many people said that watching the Spring Festival Gala was just to see Zhao Benshan. In the 1990s, many people watched the Spring Festival Gala just to see Peisi Chen. How hot are they? "In the ten minutes of Peisi Chen's program, it was absolutely quiet outside, and there were no firecrackers."
1998 Spring Festival Evening, Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao arrived as scheduled again, performing the sketch "The Prince and the Postman". Zhu Shimao played the role of the sovereign who was ordered to attend the World Games, while Peisi Chen followed the sovereign to accompany the "foreigners" in running. At last, the "postman" won the first prize and was appreciated by foreigners. He excitedly followed the prince back to Beijing to find Empress Dowager Cixi, leaving a handsome figure.

At that time, many people didn't think that when this number turned around again, more than 20 years had passed.

1998, Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao found that VCD, a collection of short stories from previous Spring Festival Galas, appeared in the market, which included 10 short stories such as Eating Noodles, Leading Role, Supporting Role, etc. They know nothing about it. This is completely unauthorized. I thought it was piracy, but it turned to the back cover, and the issuer actually wrote "China International Television Corporation", a wholly state-owned company invested by CCTV.
In order to defend their rights, the two found the door. At first, Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao's attitude was not tough. They both went for "consultation". The two said: CCTV doesn't have to apologize publicly, or it doesn't need economic compensation, just stop the infringement.
Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao are in court.
Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao won the lawsuit, but this undoubtedly declared that they and CCTV were completely torn. 1999, the two had already devoted themselves to the preparations for the Spring Festival Gala that year and created the essay "Jianghu Doctor". Who knows, just three days before the opening of the Spring Festival Gala, I suddenly got a call from the director group asking them to change the program. It goes without saying that there are only three days left to be asked to change the central idea of the program. In a rage, Peisi Chen broke with CCTV.
Three and a half heroes
Since then, although Peisi Chen himself has always denied being "banned" and claimed that he left CCTV only because of "incompatible ideas", the fact is that he never appeared on any CCTV programs again. Not only that, local TV stations "in the same breath" as SARFT have also chosen to "take sides" with Peisi Chen, and even the media have kept him at a respectful distance. At that time, Peisi Chen not only lost all opportunities in Shang Yan, but also began to give him a "tacit" look in other fields. The New Year film Three and a Half Heroes, which he invested in and starred in, reached a box office of about 200,000 yuan for five consecutive days, but it was suddenly synchronized offline by the national cinema without warning. Serious losses directly led to the closure of the film company founded by Peisi Chen.
An actor, as its name implies, is a person who makes a living by performing. Once the performance is not received, the actor's financial path will be cut off. Overnight, Peisi Chen suddenly changed from a well-known "bald star" to a "penniless" pauper.
Peisi Chen once believed that with his ability and connections, he would not starve to death, so he was not afraid of being "banned" by CCTV. But as time went on, he found that he did underestimate the energy of some forces. Legend has it that Peisi Chen once rummaged through his pockets when he was most embarrassed, and even his daughter's only 280 yuan money for primary school could not be collected.
I don't know if Peisi Chen ever lamented that "the hero is at the end of his rope" when he took his daughter home and asked his wife for money.

People who are familiar with Peisi Chen say that he is a strong man and will not bow to fate. After leaving the screen, Peisi Chen and his wife used their savings for many years to contract a barren hill in the suburbs of Beijing. They live in a cabin in the mountains, weeding, planting trees, patrolling the mountains, growing vegetables and eating "big pot rice". Two years later, they lived a life of "digging in the soil".
Two years later, Peisi Chen returned to the stage with 350,000 yuan earned by planting trees in barren hills. However, it is not a sketch, nor a movie or TV series, but a drama, which is a brand-new field for Peisi Chen. 200 1 founded the "Avenue Comedy House" and launched his first drama "Parenting", which tells the story of the group "Love Parenting" and satirizes many common frauds in reality.
Child care
Peisi Chen spent almost all his property on child care. For him, this is a gamble that borders on despair. If you don't succeed, you will die. Luckily, he won the bet. The first performance of Parenting was a great success, and all the investment was recovered after only 30 performances. After that, the first round of national tour won more than 40 million box office and became the most popular drama of the year.
The success of Parenting Classic has many meanings: Peisi Chen not only made money, which marked the success of his transformation, but also largely activated the long-lost drama market at that time. Since then, encouraged, he has successively published a number of drama works such as Good Accounts with Friends, Dou and Old House, which have been well received, among which Balcony has even been included in the textbooks of Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Peisi Chen has made great achievements on the stage of drama, but on another stage, the audience's expectations for him have not subsided. After entering the new century, people's entertainment life has become more and more rich, becoming a "microphone" to celebrate the new era, and gradually becoming more and more "chicken ribs". It is difficult for YiWen Zhao Benshan to make the audience smile heartily. The public began to miss Peisi Chen more and more. At the end of almost every year, there are several "Spring Festival Evening Programs" with "inside information" on the Internet, and the name "Peisi Chen" is never absent.
In 2004, Zhu Shimao received a phone call from the Spring Festival Gala program group and asked him if he would like to hold another Spring Festival Gala. Zhu Shimao made it clear that if you want to play, you can only partner with Peisi Chen. As long as Peisi Chen agrees, that's fine. Peisi Chen's response to this is very firm: "Our current performance plan is full, for three consecutive months, there is really no time!"
20 1 1, Spring Festival Evening Director Ha Wen contacted Peisi Chen and invited him to attend the Spring Festival Evening. However, Peisi Chen declined again: "I am really too busy, thank you for your kindness."
Peisi Chen isn't still worried about those old things. He's not lying. During that time, I was busy with the national tour of drama and his comedy training class. I was really busy.
In 20 15, the TV series "What a Family" directed and performed by Peisi Chen landed on CCTV 1 at 8: 00 pm. Although CCTV did not give any "special treatment" when promoting this drama, it still caused quite a stir. After the TV series was broadcast, the reputation was average, but after all, it was Peisi Chen's first appearance on CCTV since the Spring Festival Evening of 1998, which was regarded as the beginning of the easing of relations between the two sides. Therefore, many people began to look forward to the moment when Peisi Chen returned to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
What a big home.
However, after what a big family, Peisi Chen disappeared from CCTV again. In 20 19, the names of Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao once again appeared in a so-called "Spring Festival Evening Program of the Year of the Pig". It is rumored that they will cooperate in the program "Pig and Pig Couple". Although Zhu Shimao quickly denied it to Weibo, it also strongly proved that even after more than 20 years, the audience still longed for the return of Peisi Chen.
Weibo, Zhu Shimao.
Now, with the official announcement of CCTV that Peisi Chen will be the "chief gold medal tutor" of the gold medal comedy class, this "great reconciliation of the century" has finally come.
Peisi Chen has been away from Jianghu for many years, but the legend about him in Jianghu has not disappeared.

More than 20 years is enough to smooth many corners. There is no point in pestering Peisi Chen and CCTV now.
In today's increasingly developed society, many traditional media, including television, are getting weaker and weaker. For the audience, they miss Chen Xiaoer. Every gesture of his has its own comedy effect, and "every cell can act" all over the body. For CCTV, the stage they created to inherit the traditional comedy art needs an attractive "big coffee" to join; For Peisi Chen, in the 20 years of "disappearance", he never left the comedy stage from beginning to end, and he was always worried about the obsession that "the comedy art must be passed down".
Comments from netizens after Peisi Chen's return to Weibo.
As Peisi Chen himself responded by attending the Golden Comedy Class: "I participated in this program to spread my comedy ideas. This is the same as the purpose of holding comedy training classes every year, so I regard it as a teaching task. "
The change of CCTV's attitude also reflects a reality: CCTV is not a director, a director and an editor, but a public CCTV, which belongs to the people of the whole country. In the new era, it is the responsibility and obligation of CCTV as a national media to meet people's demands and reflect people's living conditions, joys and sorrows. Inviting Peisi Chen to return to the Jianghu is also a response of CCTV to the requirements of this era.
Peisi Chen asked me to bring a message to the audience: He will come back in 22 years.
