The TV series "Liu Laogan 3", Zhao Benshan once old partner Fan Wei came back, Yan Xuejing also came back, there are two important characters, He Qingkui and Wang Hongmei (Ding Xiaoman) also came back, can be called a reunion.
The only three regrets are that Gao Xiumin and Li Zhengchun, who passed away, can no longer be seen, and one, Guo Tiecheng, who played Erkui, regretted that he did not appear.
When it comes to Guo Tiecheng, many people at first thought he was Zhao Benshan's disciple, because he often appeared in Zhao Benshan's early works, in addition to film and television drama such as "male women's director", we are also familiar with a more familiar is the 1997 Spring Festival night of the "red sorghum model team".
One, "Red Sorghum Model Team" creative background
"Red Sorghum Model Team" of the screenwriter has two people, Cui Kai and He Qingkui, and the story of the peasant model team is Cui Kai from Dalian to collect, the prototype of the Dalian Pikou a clothing factory, the chairman of the board of directors of the local old lady, she organized a peasant model team, of course, the modeling team and this is not the same as a skit, but also a model team. The same is true for the modeling team.
The sketch should undoubtedly belong to the melodramatic attributes, reflecting the new face of rural development, such a subject matter is easy to pass the censorship, but there is a problem, that is, it is not easy to out of the comedy effect, because it lacks conflict, conflict and misunderstandings is almost a comedy necessary elements, so the script of the Red Sorghum Model Team, Zhao Benshan is not satisfied.
It is also quite difficult for Cui Kai, he accepted a proposition in the first year of the 1996 Spring Festival Gala, writing a new rural technology such as soilless culture and so on, an expert in agricultural science to Cui Kai told the afternoon he did not figure out how to integrate soilless culture into the sketches, and finally found a way to write a duo song and dance sketches, "Crossing the River", I did not expect to become a classic work of Pan Changjiang.
So, from Cui Kai's point of view, "Red Sorghum Model Team" is a continuation of the "Crossing the River" theme, but in the baggage design can not be continued, and finally can only hard to find a modeling team and the designer of the contradiction, as a counterpoint to the "soil and foreign" conflict, and it is also logical to let Zhao Benshan shouted a line of Huang Hong style: "I think laborers are the most beautiful people!"
Zhao Benshan was dissatisfied with "Red Sorghum Model Team" precisely because of the skit's poorly designed and acted baggage, and when he got tangled up in it, a savior, He Qingkui, came to the rescue.
He Qingkui was not too famous at that time, but has shown strength, in the CCTV preparations for the Spring Festival Gala period, often people ask him to help think of ideas to design baggage, He Qingkui is a refusal, for which Gao Xiumin in the Spring Festival Gala in 1994 before he also had a big fight with him. Think about it, other people's sketches more baggage, the effect is good, the Spring Festival night to go, but Gao Xiumin's sketches are not He Qingkui to increase the pressure of competition.
In the 1997 Spring Festival Gala, He Qingkui gave Gao Xiumin a "dark flowers", about the rural elderly twilight love, by Gao Xiumin and Wei Jian partner.
In the face of Zhao Benshan's problems, He Qingkui offered to help him design his baggage, the most classic of which was "Whether the cat walks in a straight line or not depends entirely on the rat.
In the end, He Qingkui's name appeared in the column of sketch writers, in addition to the supporting cast of "Red Sorghum Model Team", which also included many of Gao Xiumin's class actors.
Second, "red sorghum model team" in the familiar people
This skit appearances characters, not counting the dancers, then there are at least fifteen, known as Zhao Benshan's largest number of sketches, and there are some of us were not familiar with now very familiar people.
First of all, there is a familiar name, Yao Ming, the composer of the skit. This is of course not Yao Ming, who later became the "Little Giant" and the president of the National Basketball Association, but Yao Ming, who was a popular composer at that time.
Yao's classic works include "Rap Face Painting" and "Big Bowl of Tea at the Front Door", etc. He is also the composer of "Journey to the West Sequel", and as a native of Liaoning province and a person from Shenyang Conservatory of Music, he can be considered as a hometown helper in composing the music for Zhao Benshan's skit.
Zhao Benshan will not say much, the then Fan Lao Fan Wei has been on the Spring Festival Gala for the third time, before he played a secretary and driver, and this time he turned into a fashion designer, honestly, this character is certainly not good at Fan Wei, so his performance is not really how colorful, there is a kind of "enough" feeling. "
If you're looking for the best, you're going to have to go with the best.
If you look at the 1997 Spring Festival Gala with the same eyes, Fan Wei's Mr. Fan is far less impressive than the dancing "Little Chili Pepper", who not only dances well but also has the right eyes to be especially "hot"! The "hot" is the name of the movie, and the "hot" is the name of the movie!
Playing the role of "little pepper" is the Jilin Dance Troupe famous dancer Wang Xiaoyan, her masterpiece has a you must be familiar with, "big girl beauty". "It is probably because of this work that He Qingkui found her and invited her to perform "Little Pepper" at the Spring Festival Gala.
Wang Xiaoyan has since appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage several times, but has returned to her old dancing roots.
If you look at it from today's perspective, there are two more familiar faces in the Red Sorghum Modeling Team, in addition to Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei.
One is Zhao Benshan's "goose-raising" professional, this little beauty called Wang Hongmei, may be more willing to call her "Xiaoman", she played Liu Laogan's second daughter-in-law, Ding Xiaoman in "Liu Laogan".
Interestingly, Ding Xiaoman shouted Ding Xiang "old aunt" in "Liu Laogan", and in reality Wang Hongmei did shout Gao Xiumin "old aunt", she is the daughter of Gao Xiumin's fourth sister, properly their own family. So when He Qingkui Gao Xiumin shot the "Sacred Water Lake" Wang Hongmei became Gao Xiumin's classmate actor.
Another person we all feel familiar with is "Liu Laogan" in Liu Erkui actor Guo Tiecheng, in those years he did not appear in Zhao Benshan's sketches and films and TV dramas, until "Liu Laogan" after the popularity of Liu Laogan beat up Erkui is the show's one of the highlights.
A lot of people at the time presumably thought Guo Tiecheng was Zhao Benshan's protégé, but in fact he was also an actor in Gao Xiumin's class, playing one of the lead roles in "Sacred Water Lake".
"Sacred Water Lakeside" is a good TV drama, but also a masterpiece of He Qingkui Gao Xiumin's team, the actors are almost all Gao Xiumin's team, and even Zou Dejiang in the middle, so these actors later worked with Zhao Benshan very little, until He Qingkui rejoined the cooperation with Zhao Benshan, Wang Hongmei returned to the "Liu Laogan 3", but Guo Tiecheng couldn't come back.
Three, "red sorghum modeling team" follow-up
"Red sorghum modeling team" as a skit is good, a blend of melodrama and funny, the end of the song and dance is considered to be God's work, can be described as excellent.
But for Zhao Benshan, this skit, like "Three Whips," was not enough; he needed a more perfect script, which He Qingkui clearly had, so after this skit, Zhao Benshan began working closely with He Qingkui, releasing "Paying New Year's Respects" the following year, and "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow" the year after that.
And for He Qingkui, in the 1997 For He Qingkui, he was considered the biggest winner in the Spring Festival Gala sketch world, taking the second prize for the sketch he advised Zhao Benshan on, and the third prize for the one he himself wrote for Gao Xiumin, The Darkness of the Willow.
That is to say, He Qingkui already had the strength to become famous in one fell swoop, and what he needed was a powerful partner, so he persuaded Gao Xiumin, who was reluctant to play a supporting role, to collaborate on New Year's Eve in the second year when the iron triangle was initially taking shape.
After that, of course, came "Liu Laogan".
