In the Chinese film and television circle, there was once a very famous comedy star, this person was the first person to perform a sketch in the Spring Festival Gala, he was the first to present the sketch in front of the people of the country, he was the most popular comedy star in China more than ten years ago, and if the future generations talk about the history and representative works of comedy sketches, this person must be indispensable.

This person's name is Chen Shaoqiang, who was a smash hit in China at the beginning, and was a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala, more than ten years ago, he was a well-known celebrity among women and children.

But although this person plays funny characters in sketches, he is an extremely serious person in life, and he has hard bones, a tendon, and he loves to do things more seriously, many years ago, because CCTV's company pirated their sketches and sold them for profit, let him know, he had to fight a lawsuit with CCTV, and finally won the lawsuit, but the person was blocked.

was also blocked together with his old partner Zhu Maolin, the two have always been inseparable good friends, Chen Shaoqiang dared to sue with CCTV, this Zhu Maolin is not ambiguous, this person is very righteous, seeing that Chen Shaoqiang dared to be tough with CCTV, he also sacrificed his life to accompany him.

Some people say that there are no real friends in the entertainment industry at all, but Chen Shaoqiang and Zhu Maolin are an exception, both of them are righteous people, if you dare to die, I will dare to accompany you to rush forward, this kind of person, not to mention in the entertainment industry, is not common in the life circle of ordinary people.

Today's Chen Shaoqiang is blocked by CCTV, and he can't make movies and television, and it is a little difficult to go to a cave to make some money, and later forced him to go home to farm, plant trees, sell fruits, and then use the money from selling fruits to start a drama performance.

In China, there are many drama troupes, but they are all state-raised drama troupes, 99% of them are in a state of loss, and the folk drama troupes have almost disappeared, because there are fewer and fewer people watching dramas now, and the emergence of modern film and television has dealt a fatal blow to dramas, and the vitality of dramas is shrinking day by day.

But only Chen Shaoqiang's drama troupe is outstanding, becoming the most active folk artist group in China, these people eat with their ability, do not take a penny of national salary, and regard drama performance as a craft, not some bullshit art, actors act just to eat, good craftsmanship, naturally some people pay money, the craftsmanship is not good, you deserve to be hungry!

This kind of folk group can develop to this point, and it can't be taken at all without real skills, if you want to say that among the contemporary artists that Guo Dalu admires the most, this Chen Shaoqiang should be ranked first.

Because this Chen Shaoqiang's personality and temper are very similar to him, but the difference is that Chen Shaoqiang is a person who admits death and is very serious, once it comes to his bottom line, he will use means within the rules to protect his interests.

And Guo Dalu is different, who provokes me and I scold whom, whoever infringes on his interests will also act within the rules, but once the other party dares to break the rules, Guo Dalu will use more ruthless means to let the other party know what is the real power beyond the rules.

Chen Shaoqiang dared to say no to CCTV, and Guo Dalu was even more unambiguous, this guy directly started a lawsuit with dozens of TV stations, and finally won, the most awesome thing is that after winning the lawsuit, these TV stations just wanted to block him, and even Guo Dalu wanted to block them for a while!

These two have similar tempers and have known each other more than a year ago, because of several dramas written by Guo Dalu, such as "Teahouse" and "Xiaojing Hutong" adapted from "Kong Yiji", as well as several dramas created by himself according to the historical trajectory "The Minister of the Qincha", "Lafayette is on the Top", "Ten Years of Qing Governor's Mansion" and a series of works that satirize corrupt officials and government.

Among these works, a large part of them are original by Guo Dalu, only a small part is copied from the mind, and the cultural accumulation has reached the point where Guo Dalu no longer needs to copy other people's works, he is fully capable of creating better works, rather than copying the story in his head.

Because of these drama works, Chen Shaoqiang has approached Guo Dalu several times, all for reasons related to the copyright of dramas, and their drama troupe wants to perform Guo Dalu's works, so he naturally wants to negotiate with Guo Dalu about the cost.

Guo Dalu directly authorized their repertory troupe for free: "Perform casually, I don't charge you any money, as long as you set aside a few tickets for me at any time, when I want to go to see your performance, I can have a seat to sit, that's fine." ”

He just said it casually, just a joke, but Chen Shaoqiang took it seriously, every time the drama is performed, five tickets will be set aside not for sale, specially prepared for the people of the old Guo family, this habit later became a tradition in the drama world.

With the increasing number of drama works created by Guo Dalu in the future, these drama groups gradually went abroad and toured all over the world, and the living environment of the drama groups became better and better, and these drama groups became more and more grateful to Guo Dalu for his contribution to the drama, so as long as the drama works about Guo Dalu were performed, these groups would reserve a few tickets and wait for the descendants of the Guo family to pick them up at any time.

At this time, Guo Dalu didn't know that Chen Shaoqiang was so serious, and now he suddenly remembered Chen Shaoqiang, not because of the drama, but because of his own movie, that is, "Beautiful Life".

In Guo Dalu's view, in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, it is estimated that there is no Chen Shaoqiang who is suitable to play the leading role.

Chen Shaoqiang's acting talent and performance skills in comedy can be called the first person in China today, but this person is very funny when performing, but in real life he is a very serious person, many excellent comedians are like this, they are funny on the stage, but in real life they are more serious and old-fashioned.

So this Chen Shaoqiang can shoot works with comedy elements, but in fact, he can also play serious characters, and he only needs to adjust his facial expressions slightly, which is a problem that Guo Dalu seems to be very easy to solve.

Only Chen Shaoqiang's exaggerated body movements and funny style can make the audience laugh again and again, so as to give the greatest tension to this work, and the occasional serious expression can better highlight the real emotions of the characters.

"Let me act in a movie?"

After receiving Guo Dalu's call, Chen Shaoqiang was extremely curious: "Dalu, I haven't participated in a movie for many years, don't play it for you when the time comes!"

He didn't say whether he had time at all, but said that he was worried that he wouldn't be able to perform well, because since Guo Dalu opened his mouth to invite, he Chen Shaoqiang had no reason to refuse, even if he was busy, he would have to participate in Guo Dalu's works, Guo Dalu took such good care of their troupe, he naturally wanted to repay the favor.

That's how Lao Chen stresses righteousness.
