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 mentor Zhao Benshan to write an inscription for it when it was released. Teachers and apprentices who have been apart for many days have no sense of strangeness when they get along, and the conversation is very relaxed and interesting.
Zhao Benshan quipped, "I've finished writing it for you, so don't call me if the box office is not good.".
Song Xiaobao responded humorously: "Don't share it with me if I want to sell too much, Master".
Although the two are full of humor, it seems that the film will add color, but the audience does not pay the bill.
Many people spit out 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's high vision.
After all, most of the films exported by comedians in recent years are bad films, and there is no doubt that they will be waterloo as soon as they are released.
In addition, at the peak of Song Xiaobao, it began to show a decline, with fewer and fewer good works, lack of originality in jokes, and decreasing audience appeal.
Therefore, it is normal for everyone to question him as a director.
In a word: before the sketch of the old line was fully understood, it began to make cross-border movies?
Before the new drama was released, it was called decline, 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 falling into decline.
Song Xiaobao was born in an extremely poor family. In order to supplement his family, he dropped out of school to work when he was in the second day of junior high school.
That year, he was 15 years old.
At that time, he didn't have a skill, and he could only be the simplest dishwasher. His monthly salary was only 300 yuan, barely enough to live.
This mediocre life was only changed after four years.
/kloc-when he was 0/9 years old, he saw the duo go to the countryside to perform in a group, and twisted a few times with the excitement, which happened to be seen by actor Jiao Xiaolong.
Jiao Xiaolong thought that this was a good prospect, so he accepted it as an apprentice.
From then on, he began to learn duet with Master, and constantly performed in Anshan and other places to hone his 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 a duet in Jilin, this funny expression attracted Zhao Benshan, and he was immediately taken under his command, becoming 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 meant that his fate could be changed.
Therefore, Song Xiaobao also worked hard in the team, thinking of being supported by Master.
But unfortunately, before him, Zhao Benshan had regarded Xiao Shenyang as a "key disciple", so naturally he wouldn't pay special attention to him.
Plus, he is new to the company, and there are still many unsuitable 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 asked him to participate in the variety show "Benshan Camp", and he gradually became famous for his good performance in the program.
Seeing that Song Xiaobao's performance is getting better and better, Zhao Benshan decided to take him in the sketch himself. 20 1 1 year, they collaborated on the program "Blind Date" in Liaoning Spring Festival Evening.
With two classic lines: "Look at your color loss" 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.
Among them, the most classic sentence is: "There are 3,000 beautiful women in this harem, but the emperor just spoils me, so I advised the emperor to stick to the rain and dew, but the emperor wouldn't listen."
Gradually, the audience became more and more fond of this unique funny actor. Although it was the "Mahua FunAge" team that won the championship that year, he became the one with the highest popularity and audience.
This year, he was completely on fire, and his career began to peak, and his popularity was even higher than that of Xiao Shenyang.
It is said that at that time, he paid 800,000 yuan for an appearance in "Happy Comedian", and the following year, he took over more than 20 variety shows.
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 coincided with Zhao Benshan's retirement. When the fire broke out in Song Xiaobao, it was the time when Zhao Benshan declined.
20 1 1 year, Song Xiaobao had his own popularity, but this year was Zhao Benshan's last appearance at the Spring Festival Gala.
Since then, the apprentice's struggle in front of the curtain has become more and more fierce, but Master just wants to return to the background.
Two years later, Zhao Benshan, who has earned a lot of money and achieved great success, officially announced his withdrawal from the Spring Festival Evening stage.
Who had expected that his momentum plummeted and his popularity fell sharply after leaving the Spring Festival Evening. In those years, his business activities were also cut off a lot.
The most interesting thing is that Benshan Art College of Liaoning University, which once gained a lot of popularity with the golden signboard of "Zhao Benshan", was officially renamed as Art College of Liaoning University in 20 15.
At this time, the criticism about Zhao Benshan is getting louder and louder, and even some professors bluntly said: The era of Zhao Benshan is over.
The era of criticism is also a great blow to Zhao Benshan. Perhaps he really fell into the land of decline.
Fortunately, however, 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 comedian in the contemporary era.
This is a relief for Zhao Jiaban.
But this good fortune didn't last long. After one year, Song Xiaobao hit the bottom.
At that time, more and more viewers found that Song Xiaobao often appeared in variety shows, but few new sketches appeared. Even works were just "old wine in new bottles", which was nothing new.
Most importantly, in 20 16, his participation in Liaoning Spring Festival Evening sketch "Eating Noodles" caused a heated discussion among netizens.
Although this work is full of the word "nothing wrong", many viewers said that as long as they carefully observe it, they 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 and lost the following, and there would be no deep thinking and memory points.
In addition, the routines of each sketch are 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 lacks novelty and audience popularity, and Song Xiaobao's career has also begun to decline.
The following year, Song Xiaobao's comedy sketch "Kebab" once again pushed him to the forefront for three reasons.
First, this program is not much different from previous sketches. Generally speaking, programs that can make the audience laugh are basically talking about some unexpected burdens of the audience.
Only in this way can we create differences and the audience can laugh naturally.
When watching the same program, everyone can quickly think of what the next joke is, which is equivalent to being spoiled in advance, so there is no point to watch, and the work is naturally difficult to make people laugh.
Second, there is a story of drinking in Kebab, and Song Xiaobao basically "drinks" or blows at bottles. This has caused a lot of people's dissatisfaction, and they think this kind of 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" out, and talked about the fact 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 works with Song Xiaobao's, we can see that Master's works all have their connotations, so how can it be lost to the apprentice?
For example, in 199 1 year, Zhao Benshan's essay Xiao Jiu Lao Le showed a new marriage phenomenon, which also represented that the status of women was improving.
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.
In addition, 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 for a while.
At the end of 20 16, he announced his farewell to the variety show. Since then, his activity in front of the screen has 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 Worms Crossing the River", and the audience all had certain expectations.
I don't know if it was influenced by this, but Song Xiaobao also decided to pursue his dream and give it a shot to be a director.
In the same year, he began to prepare for the film "diary of making a fortune", which will not be officially released until this year.
Before seeing the trailer, the audience had no hope for it. 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 children, which is like the "happy head and sad tail" in traditional sketches, forcibly sensational.
Just the story of the trailer, it is difficult 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 the feature film is.
Moreover, nowadays, the audiences of movies are all young people. Everyone has seen countless jokes on the Internet, and their desire for new things is very high. Just relying on the "local style" can't grasp the hearts of the audience.
This time, Song Xiaobao, who has already suffered a big loss in sketches, may not be able to recover the declining situation with the help of movies.
In fact, when Zhao Benshan's industrial empire is "declining", Song Xiaobao is not the only one who is affected.
Previously, Xiao Shenyang directed and acted in the comedy "The Fierce Worm Crossing the River", and he met the waterloo of his career.
This film, known as "epic bad film", scored only 3.7 points.
Even the People's Daily criticized it by name as "the story is popular and the characters are thin", which shows that the content of this work is empty and has no level.
Wen Song is also one of Zhao Benshan's apprentices. When he was focusing on sketches, he circled countless powders with a "sissy" attitude.
Then, he began to transform into an actor, but "Rescue Wang Xingren" starring him only had a box office of 2 10/00000, which was a complete rollover.
And he and Liu Xiaoguang co-starred in "S4 Xia Demon", which was released less than a few days later.
Even "Fengtian Past" and "Laughing and Stealing Rivers and Lakes" starred by "Zhao Jiaban" were vomited by countless audiences, and the score was too low to bear to look straight.
Therefore, it is difficult for Zhao Benshan today to return to the situation where Zhao Jiaban also fell into decline when his career reached its peak.
Disciples, mainly Song Xiaobao, have been criticized.
After that, the future situation of his disciples is unknown.
