Twenty-three years ago, Wang Shuo drove away Xiaogang Feng who sent money. What happened after their friendship broke up?

Speaking of which, the first thing that many people think of is his Feng humor. At the end of 1990s, he established the keynote of "Feng's comedy" and "New Year's film" through several comedy films.

When it comes to his comedy, there is one person who can't help but mention it, and that is Wang Shuo.

To Xiaogang Feng, Wang Shuo is a noble man. It is no exaggeration to say that without Wang Shuo, there would be no Xiaogang Feng today.

Even Xiaogang Feng said that meeting Wang Shuo means meeting the Big Dipper in the dark.

However, in 1997, when Wang Shuo was most desperate, Xiaogang Feng sent him 50,000 yuan, only to be thrown out by Wang Shuo. What the hell is going on here? If you want to know the inside story, you must first understand Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo is a strange man. He grew up in Beijing compound and later established a circle. People in this circle are children of the compound, such as Ma Weidou, Ye Jing, Jiang Wen, Zhao Baogang and Bird.

Ma Weidou Wang Shuo

Why is Wang Shuo a strange person? Because he is so talented. There was a TV series called Desire in the last century. It is said that when it was broadcast, there was no one in the street, and everyone went home to investigate.

This play was produced by Wang Shuo.

1988 is a difficult year for China's film and television drama creation, but in this year, Wang Shuo's four novels, Stubborn Man, Half Flame and Half Sea Water and Rubber Man, were adapted into movies, and no one can break this record so far.

Later, director Jiang Wen made Sunny Days based on the beast, which directly won the domestic annual box office champion, and also made the leading actor Yu Xia win the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival.

It can be said that in those days, Wang Shuo was absolutely popular. Not only is the film popular, but his novels also create a genre: the riffraff genre.

Ma Weidou, a good friend, once praised Wang Shuo in an interview: Wang Shuo has a great literary status and a great literary fan. The pinnacle of his works, which I think no writer can achieve today, has influenced a generation.

At that time, Mo Yan, Lu Yao, Jia Pingwa, Liu Zhenyun and Chen were not famous and were still working hard to create. Wang Shuo can stand out from the crowd, which shows that his talent is extraordinary.

When Wang Shuo was the most popular, Xiaogang Feng met Wang Shuo through the introduction of friends.

At that time, Xiaogang Feng had not yet become famous, but worked as an artist in Beijing TV Drama Art Center through the relationship of Zheng Xiaolong.

Xiaogang Feng has heard a lot about Wang Shuo. As soon as I saw him, I raved about Wang Shuo's works. Later, every day, Mr. Wang followed Shark Wang and told him to kiss him!

199 1, the famous story of the editorial department is online, and Xiaogang Feng's name is hung in the screenwriter column.

In fact, at that time, everyone didn't agree to give Xiaogang Feng a chance to participate in the screenwriter, until Wang Shuo said, "I don't want Xiaogang Feng, and he won't participate", which gave Xiaogang Feng a chance to get in touch with the director industry.

Although Wang Shuo is in full swing in China, the voice of criticizing Wang Shuo in the society has been constant. Under the crusade of those so-called righteous people, it seems that if you like Wang Shuo, you will be infected with hooliganism, and Wang Shuo is the representative of vulgarity.

However, Wang Shuo did not show his fierce side in the face of these criticisms. His titles and golden sentences, such as "I am a rogue and I am afraid of who", "Ignorant is fearless" and "Don't treat me like a human being", are actually the most effective ways to dispel these criticisms. People who like him gnash their teeth as much as they like him.

From 65438 to 0997, the suppression of Wang Shuo by literary and art circles reached its peak, and almost all the film and television works related to Wang Shuo died.

After careful consideration, Wang Shuo left a message to Xiaogang Feng: "You should make a movie, but don't sign my name. They came to me. If you had a chance to live, we wouldn't have to die together. "

Later, Wang Shuo went to America, and since then, he has been silent for a long time. He didn't mention it to anyone except Xiaogang Feng, who knew his whereabouts.

Half a year later, Xiaogang Feng's "A, B, C and D" was released, which was popular all over the country, with a box office of more than 36 million, and became the benchmark of New Year's comedy. You know, 1997, steamed bread is only 20 cents.

Stills of Party A and Party B

Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that Party A and Party B are based on Wang Shuo's You Are Not a Vulgar. But there is no Wang Shuo's name on the cast list.

Half a year later, Wang Shuo came back from America. At this time, Wang Shuo was completely banned and cornered. When he was most depressed, Xiaogang Feng sent him 50,000 yuan as a reward.

Wang Shuo confiscated the money, but threw the 50 thousand yuan out.

Does Wang Shuo have too little money? No, he doesn't agree with Xiaogang Feng's artistic style. Their creative ideas and life ideas are very different.

Wang Shuo's idea is an elite criticism from the perspective of civilians.

Xiaogang Feng created a thorough civilian consciousness.

Therefore, Xiaogang Feng is destined to face the "new realism" image style, gradually contacting Liu Zhenyun and Liu Heng, and parting ways with Wang Shuo.

In terms of creativity, Wang Shuo despises Xiaogang Feng's creative thinking, and the 50,000 yuan manuscript fee is particularly hot. The integrity of literati is still sufficient for Wang Shuo.

Ma Weidou once said: Wang Shuo is one of the few people in China who still retains the basic dignity of a writer. He doesn't bend over for five buckets of rice, and he doesn't want to kneel down and lick those so-called beautiful women.

Almost all of Wang Shuo's works are classics, and almost all of his novels have been remake into TV series. When I looked at half the sea and half the flame, I couldn't help but marvel at it many times.

Wang Shuo is a pioneer of China literature. He half discovered and half created a Chinese expression based on Beijing dialect/Putonghua, with a low-level color ("rascal") from the perspective of civilians.

Wang Shuo's "Rogue Literature", from the characters to the plot dialogue, can easily make readers echo each other, and the taste of Beijing films is not boring, and sometimes even makes people laugh unconsciously.

Wang Shuo's writing is enlightening and rebellious, but it does not produce rebellious psychology. Because the book is about our life, we will not resist our own life, so we are happy to accept Wang Shuo's writing.
