Zhao Benshan was interviewed that day, which amused the reporters. Even the audience in front of the TV laughed.

In July, 2005, Anshan fans organized 65,438+000 Mercedes-Benz cars and stood at the intersection of expressways to welcome Zhao Benshan, the upstart of Liaozu.

This is his first home game in Liaozu. Competition one-on-one, Zhao Benshan, surrounded by many stars, looks pale.

At the dinner party, Jiang Kun and others talked about the poor level of the coach. Zhao Benshan got up with wine and announced the dismissal of the head coach.

The banquet was silent, and no one dared to raise an objection.

At that time, Forbes selected him into the China celebrity list, ranking 100, with an annual income of130,000 yuan.

He asked the reporter, "Can I earn this money?" To be honest, I don't know how much money I have.

Participated in Boao Forum for three consecutive years and played golf with international celebrities. After a game, the reporter asked him which celebrity he was most interested in. He said, Bill Gates, of course.

The scene was full of laughter. In that game, he shot 87 shots, only below par 15.

When he entered Liaozu, he also had a small project in a small village more than 40 kilometers away from Tieling.

At that time, the Association for the Promotion of Population looked for him and hoped to make a TV series to promote family planning, called "The Story of Crop Farm".

Zhao Benshan's team changed the script and named it "Country Love", which was filmed in Muyugou Village at the foot of ivory mountain.

The shooting didn't go well. In the once-in-a-century flood, the bridge was washed away three times and the trees on both sides were also washed away.

The crew was in the village all summer, starring many newcomers. Tang Jianjun, who played Xie Guangkun, was 37 years old. When shooting a pair, the cheekbone muscles jumped with nervousness.

Zhao Benshan didn't have many scenes, and he arrived at the scene in the later stage of shooting.

He got on a Mercedes-Benz with Liao E88888 license plate, bypassed the mountain, crossed the river and came to the foot of the mountain.

In the play, he combs his back, carries a handbag, shows off the gold chain by the heat of the day, looks at the time and shows off the gold watch, and makes blind dates like a big boss.

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. The world outside the mountain is the destination of his story.

That year, the story of Liaozu ended absurdly, but rural love unexpectedly became popular. On the train to Manzhouli the following year, Zhao Benshan and Liu Liu talked for 10 hours, and talked about the script of "Rural Love 2".

However, in those days, nostalgia was just a money-making project, which could not hold Zhao Benshan's dream.

In 2009, Benshan's media business has spanned film and television drama, big stage, talent education and cultural real estate.

He signed up for the fourth CEO class in cheung kong graduate school of business and was elected as the monitor with the student number of 1.

He said that one of the reasons for going to school is to learn experience, and the other is to cool himself down. After all, some entrepreneurs can't play with a little money, and they have to "avoid floating". He said that when black soil floats, it is a sandstorm.

He invited his classmates to a party in Shenyang, which was originally scheduled for 60 people. As a result, more than 280 business leaders got wind of it.

That night, he stood on the big stage of Liu Laogen and felt deeply. He always thought that he would not realize this dream until he was seventy or eighty years old. The applause thundered.

After the performance, Zhao Benshan held a bonfire party for the students at the base.

The party ended at two o'clock in the morning. As drunk as a fiddler, Zhao Benshan called his apprentice, holding a draft beer, saying that Hollywood can earn tens of billions a year. "Tens of billions of dollars, we will transfer them around the world."

That year, Liu Laogen's big stage opened to 9 performances in China, with 2 127 performances, earning 96.6 million yuan.

On the night of the big stage entering Beijing, Jackie Chan could only sit in the third row of the scene. That year, Shenyang was just on fire, and a business partner wanted to borrow Shenyang to act for 20 days. He's asking for 8 million, so we have to wait.

The other party said, grab whatever you want.

At the end of 2009, Zhao Benshan ordered a private jet from Canada for 200 million yuan.

There are bars, gyms and lounges on the plane. He put the model in the bedroom early and showed it when guests came, calling it "Benshan".

The next year, he bought a pair of carved lions in Hengdian. Lion 1.8 meters high, with its own prestige.

20 10 Wong Kar-wai asked Zhao Benshan to shoot a grandmaster and called him Big Brother Benshan. He is very happy. "I was called Big Brother by an international director for the first time, so excited."

Excited, he contracted all the expenses of shooting in Northeast China.

During filming, Zhao Benshan performed more than 80 actions of tasting soup. "That pot is old and dirty, so it will torture you there." .

The next day, he took dozens of disciples to the set, slapped the contract on the table and said "goodbye" to Wong Kar-wai.

He can play the master, but he can't be commanded. He is more accustomed to stepping down after the Spring Festival Gala performance, and his disciples bow neatly in the lounge.

More than ten years ago, Zhao Benshan and the screenwriter pondered the punchline, and everyone was outspoken and laughed when chatting.

Ten years later, he was the only vice president and apprentice in the group, and a group of people followed him everywhere. Followers have light footsteps and their eyes are full of admiration or fear.

Watching the staff rehearse the new play, he often says, how can this be done? I can change it any way I want. The writers in the group wave after wave, and the rest "choose what you like to hear".

Zhao Benshan once complained to his friends that he didn't want to go to the group every day. "They are scared when they look at me, and they can't talk."

He is getting more and more lonely.

One winter night, he couldn't sleep and went out for a walk at three in the middle of the night. More than 30 people followed him silently, accompanied him around Qianmen Street, and even the sprinklers stopped to watch.

The world after that, like that bowl of soup, can't taste when you drink too much.

20 12, absent from the Spring Festival Gala. The next year, he announced in the "Country Show" hosted by Degang Guo that there would be no more me on the sketch stage.

That year, rural love had reached the sixth part. Wang Dana's family property was exhausted, and he lived in a small hotel for more than 30 yuan a night. He was so poor that he borrowed old rubber shoes from others.

He picked up bottles and burned boilers in a strange county town. The fire was very strong, as if he had burned all the past.

In 20 14, he brought together his old colleagues who had worked together in Tieling small theater in his early years and established Benshan National Orchestra.

Most of those colleagues have retired and lead a dull life. Some people live far away and have to ride bicycles for several hours every performance.

The lighting of Tieling Grand Theatre is relatively cold, far less dazzling than that of Liu Laogen's big stage.

After the rehearsal, the old guys will chat with Zhao Benshan. Someone told him that I had seen the master, the one shot by Zhang Yimou.

During the performance, there were few spectators. In the video, Zhao Benshan occasionally said to the audience:

Only when you stand on a high place will you realize that living on a low place is the happiest.

20 15 "The Master of the Generation" was released in 3D. In the film, Zhao Benshan added a line that was not there before.

In that year's "Country Love 8", Wang Dana sold the villa, lived in a brick house, opened a barber shop, and owed Xie Dajiao a year's rent.

He was scolded by the villa security guard for giving the younger generation a wedding red envelope. The village party secretary asked him to be the vice president of the feed factory. Wearing a white apron, he asked, Is it a pity to see me?

One night in the play, he wandered under the Ivory Mountain, where weeds were overgrown, there was a half moon in the cloud and the song sounded. He sang, "a crescent moon is rising in the sky, and that crescent moon is sprinkling that moonlight."

Outside the play, he lost 40 pounds and gave up drinking, but smoked more frequently.

When shooting the transition, he let the driver go first and he took the path. The cornfields on both sides were silent. He said nothing, followed by Liu Neng and Zhao Si.

Disciple said: I can't get into Master's heart. He's lonely.

At one time, he only slept four hours a day. Once I was allergic to sleeping pills and broke out in a rash, which made me feel terrible. He asked the driver to take pictures and went to the city to ask the doctor for medicine.

He was afraid to go to the hospital for fear that the media would scribble.

He returned to the beginning of his life. There are many similarities between Muyugou at the foot of ivory mountain and Shizuigou at birth.

He often visits villagers' homes and eats sticky bean buns and pickled jiaozi. After eating, lean back on the kang and tell jokes with the old people.

When he's not filming, he goes back to the base. He copied the Heart Sutra, recited the Preface to Lanting, practiced calligraphy and played Jing Hu's Deep Night.

There is no number in his mobile phone, so there are only a few that can be contacted.

In 20 15, in disguise, he quietly went to the cinema to see his apprentice Dapeng's Pancake Man and praised him.

Dapeng asked him when he went to the cinema for the last time. Zhao Benshan said, forget it.

20 16 10, he appeared in the studio and stewed fish in the farmhouse. Within 5 hours,150,000 people poured into the live broadcast room.

Zhao Benshan looked up at the audience in the void and played "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon".

The days turn faster and faster, and the ashes of memory fall layer by layer. The New Year's fireworks in North China will never stop for one person. It can't affect one city and one pool, let alone our country and people.

He occasionally appears in Miley Miley and Tik Tok, and the clips are full of eyebrows, eyes and kindness. The story under the Ivory Mountain continues. 12 years have passed, and people can't tell which is pastoral love and which is the past of this mountain.

Life is always broken after illusion, and always played after entering the play.

During 12, Muyugou Village opened many farmhouses, and the brand of Bigfoot Supermarket changed from red and green to pink. Xie Guangkun donkey cart was surrounded by red cloth for half a year, and the red cloth said that it was charged for taking pictures.

Last year, the crew approved a new land on the mountain and built dozens of courtyards. The melons and fruits in the yard were not picked, and the scripts were scattered under the window.

The south of the house is the peak of ivory mountain. In the rainy season, the top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds, just like a dreamland in the red chamber.
