1985 was a turning year for Feng Xiaogang, and it was also a turning year for Feng Gong , who was one year older than him.
This year, through the introduction of Zheng Xiaolong, Feng Xiaogang met Wang Shuo . He invited Wang Shuo to have a big meal at the Yanjing Hotel, and Wang Shuo recognized him as a brother.
This year, Feng Gong, who was talking about cross talk in the China Broadcasting Art Troupe, was discovered by CCTV Spring Festival Gala director Huang Yihe and invited him to talk about cross talk on the 1986 Spring Festival Gala. So on the Spring Festival Gala stage, Feng Gong and his partner Liu Wei talked about his original cross talk "Talking about the Tiger in the Year of the Tiger", and Feng Gong became famous overnight.
Feng Gong and Liu Wei
After becoming famous, Feng Gong did not float away. He cherishes the opportunity to work very much. In the Spring Festival Gala in 1987, he and Liu Wei talked about the cross talk "Qiao to the Film League". In the 1988 Spring Festival Gala, he and Liu Wei, Niu Zhenhua and other performers performed the group cross talk "Seeking Perfection and Blame". Seeing that the cross talk career is getting better and better, but his partner Liu Wei is going to go abroad in 1988, which makes Feng Gong very depressed. Without Liu Wei, he can't talk about this cross talk alone. Just when he was depressed, fate arranged for another man to come to his side, this man's name was cattle herd .
Feng Gong met the cattle, and the two had a strange "chemical reaction". In 1989, they performed the counterpart cross talk "Birthday Greetings" on the Spring Festival Gala. In 1990, they performed the counterpart cross talk "Nowhere to Know" on the Spring Festival Evening. In 1991, they performed the counterpart cross talk "The Best of the Asian Games" on the Spring Festival Gala in 1991. Feng Gong and Niu Qun became one of the most popular cross talk groups in China at the time.
At that time, the versatile Feng Gong not only talked about cross talk, he also ran to act in movies, starred in the movies " Divorce Contract ", "Stand Up, Don't Get Down", and also won the award for "Stand Up, Don't Get Down". The 16th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actor. What many people don't know is that one of the reasons why Feng Gong talked about cross talk and made movies so desperately at that time was to make more money. At that time, he was too poor. He and his wife Ai Hui lived in one of the rehearsal halls of the China Broadcasting Art Troupe. In the corner, their home is just a space separated by a few wooden boards. Fortunately, Feng Gong worked very hard, and his and his wife's living conditions gradually improved. In 1992, the China Broadcasting Art Troupe also allocated a house for them, so they no longer have to live a humble life.
When Feng Gong lived in a new house and became a celebrity, Feng Xiaogang was still struggling. At that time he was an artist of Beijing TV Art Center , but fortunately Wang Shuo did not forget him. In 1990, when Wang Shuo and Zheng Xiaolong were planning to shoot the TV series "The Story of the Editorial Department ", Wang Shuo recommended Feng Xiaogang to join the group, and also arranged for him to work in the drama. When the filming of "Story from the Editorial Department" started, the script disappeared, which made the director Zhao Baogang anxious, and Wang Shuo, Ma Weidu, Su Lei and others who were the screenwriters of the play at the time were not willing to replay it. Write it again.
Faced with such a critical situation, Feng Xiaogang took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that he had read the script and he could restore it. Zhao Baogang is also dubious about Feng Xiaogang, is this kid good enough? But this is the end of the matter, the dead horse should be the living horse doctor. As a result, Feng Xiaogang handed over the script shortly after, which was similar to the original script, which made everyone admire Feng Xiaogang, and Feng Xiaogang also became the screenwriter of "Story of the Editorial Department". Interestingly, it didn't take long for the lost script to be found again. In 1992, "The Story of the Editorial Department" was released and became popular all over the country, and Feng Xiaogang also became famous. The success of
"The Story of the Editorial Department" made Feng Xiaogang very happy, but after a long time of happiness, he still fell into sorrow, and the source of the sorrow was his daughter Feng Siyu. Feng Siyu is the daughter of him and Zhang Di . He and Zhang Di were married in 1984. Feng Siyu was born on September 28, 1990, but Feng Siyu is not a healthy child. She has a congenital cleft palate. In future speaking, pronunciation will be affected. But the operation to repair the cleft palate is not difficult, the problem is that Feng Siyu is too young toKnowing how to cooperate can easily lead to difficult healing of wounds after surgery. Parents must be very cautious about whether to do such an operation when their children are young, and Feng Xiaogang is hesitant.
Feng Xiaogang and Feng Siyu
During Feng Xiaogang's hesitation, he met Feng Gong. In 1992, the China Broadcasting Art Troupe, where Feng Gong belonged, cooperated with CCTV on a program called " Yiyuan Landscape ". Feng Gong was the chief planner of this program. Feng Xiaogang was called by a friend of this program group to help. acknoledged. And because he is from his own family, Feng Xiaogang calls Feng Gong "Brother Gong" every time he calls him very kindly. Feng Gong knows that Feng Xiaogang is a screenwriter and appreciates his talent. At that time, Feng Xiaogang would drink and eat with Feng Gong and a group of buddies from "Yiyuan Landscape Line" as long as time allowed.
Maybe Feng Xiaogang would not have thought that there was a dinner that completely brought him and Feng Gongxin closer. At that party, Feng Xiaogang and Feng Gong both drank too much. After the two came out of the restaurant, they walked south along Weigong Village Street. The two chatted while walking. He knew that Feng Gong was the great-grandson of the great warlord Feng Guozhang of the Republic of China, but he didn't know that Feng Gong, who had a prominent family background, had a very difficult journey. Feng Gong lived in the Feng family mansion in Tianjin before he was 8 years old, and this Feng family mansion was Feng Guozhang's private residence.
But in the 1960s, Feng Gong's father Feng Haigang was labeled as a "rightist", and Feng Gong's family was kicked out of Feng's mansion and lived in a small bungalow in a large courtyard. The family of eight lived on their mother's wages. For Feng Gong, it was a very difficult time. In order to survive, he often went to the vegetable market to pick up cabbage and briquettes from the waste mound.
Fortunately, he is versatile. When he was 18 years old, he was discovered by crosstalk master Ma Ji and became Ma Ji's apprentice. He began to make a living by crosstalk. Later, he was admired by Hou Yaowen, who was also a crosstalk master, and joined the railway art troupe. He was transferred to the China Broadcasting Art Troupe as a cross talk actor. Although he had a stable workplace, Feng Gong didn't have much income at that time and still lived a poor life. He and his wife Ai Hui could only live in a room in the rehearsal hall of the China Broadcasting Art Troupe.
is also in this chat, Feng Gong learned that Feng Xiaogang's parents divorced when he was very young. He lived with his mother and sister and lived a hard life. In order to change his fate, Feng Xiaogang joined the army after graduating from high school. After he was discharged from the army, he joined the Beijing Urban Construction Development Company as a labor union cultural and sports officer. His main job was to do chores.
accidentally met Zheng Xiaolong, who was the production director at the Beijing TV Art Center at the time, and Feng Xiaogang, who was recognized by Zheng Xiaolong, was invited to work at the Beijing TV Art Center, where he was good at art work. It was also because of Zheng Xiaolong and Feng Xiaogang that he met Wang Shuo and had the opportunity to become the screenwriter of "The Story of the Editorial Department".
Feng Xiaogang also told Feng Gong that his daughter had a congenital cleft palate and he was very sad. Feng Gong comforted him not to have too much mental pressure. On that day, they also talked about their unrealized ideals, the setbacks they encountered at work, and when it came to sadness, the two big men hugged each other and cried.
Maybe the real establishment of friendship between men is as simple as that, and it only needs to reveal each other sincerely once. Feng Gong, who recognized Feng Xiaogang very much, invited him to write jokes for him and Niu Qun. It also coincided with the rise of Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao in the sketch world. Feng Gong planned to talk about cross talk and perform sketches at the same time, and Feng Xiaogang could be competent for the work of writing scripts, so Feng Gong's cross talk "The Face and the Crown", "The Point Company", "Mr. Worst", the sketches "We Met Tonight", "The Door", "Wish", "Rong" and other Feng Xiaogang participated in the creation.
It was also in 1992 that Feng Xiaogang decided to operate on Feng Siyu. He did not tell other friends, only Feng Gong. On the day of Feng Siyu's surgery, Feng Gong turned off all work and went to the hospital to accompany Feng Xiaogang. Before the operation, the doctor said to them: "The most important thing after the operation is not to let the child cry. In that case, the child's wound will be easily torn. In case of repeated infection, it will be a terrible thing." And this is also the most important thing for Feng Xiaogang. I'm worried, but the child is too young, how can she not cry or move around?
looked at Feng Xiaogang's worried look, FengGong told him that he had a way, so he went to the department store and bought two big bags of toys.
Feng Gong told Feng Xiaogang that playing with toys for children can distract children. However, because children like the new and hate the old, one toy will get bored after playing for a long time, so buy more toys. When the child gets tired of playing with one, change one to another, so that the child can always keep the freshness. Facts have also proved that Feng Gong's method is effective. don't cry, don't make trouble. That day, Feng Gong received a lot of calls in the hospital. Feng Xiaogang knew that Feng Gong had turned down too many things for his housework. He was very grateful to Feng Gong, but it didn't take long for him to hurt Feng Gong.
Stills of "The Big Thrower"
Shortly after Feng Siyu's surgery, the movie script "The Big Thrower" created by Feng Xiaogang and Zheng Xiaolong was completed. Feng Xiaogang originally hoped that the Beijing Film Studio could invest in the filming, but the Beijing Film Studio did not like "The Big Thing". Feng Xiaogang could only think of another way. He thought of Feng Gong. He knew that Feng Gong was popular and knew many entrepreneurs. If he is interested in "Dashaba", he can be asked to star in "Dashaba", and let him solve the investment problem.
Feng Xiaogang explained to Feng Gong the problem of "Da Sapa", Feng Gong read the script carefully, he thought the script was very good, he was willing to act, and he would contact the investors well. It didn't take long for Feng Gong to secure the investor, and with Feng Xiaogang's order, the shooting could start. But who would have guessed that when Feng Gong had done all the work, the North Film Studio came to him and said that he was willing to invest, and asked the male lead to get , Ge You, and to play.
In the face of this unexpected situation, Feng Xiaogang doesn't know what to do. If he agrees to the North Film Studio, he will hurt Feng Gong. But after weighing the pros and cons, Feng Xiaogang decided to hurt Feng Gong, because he felt that he was a newcomer in the film and television industry and could not offend the Beijing Film Studio, and he also felt that Ge You was more suitable than Feng Gong to play the male lead. Although he made up his mind, Feng Xiaogang didn't know how to face Feng Gong in the future.
A few days after he made up his mind, he and Feng Gong met, and after a few chats, Feng Gong understood what Feng Xiaogang was thinking, he smiled and said to Feng Xiaogang, "I understand what you mean, it's not like that. Well, you are my brother, as long as this matter is good to you, I can do anything, and I can't be bothered by this matter." Feng Xiaogang didn't expect Feng Gong to understand him and support him in this way. He quickly asked, "Then how do you explain to the investor?" Feng Gong said to him, "It's all my brother, it's all one sentence." What
Feng Gong did not judge wrong is that "Da Sa Ba" is indeed a good movie. After its release, the word-of-mouth box office has doubled. What he didn't expect was that because of this movie, Feng Xiaogang fell in love with Xu Fan who played the heroine "Lin Zhouyun". So Feng Xiaogang divorced Zhang Di in 1999 and married Xu Fan.
In the year he married Xu Fan, Feng Xiaogang has become a well-known director, because he has already made movies such as " Party A and Party B ", "See You or Not", " Endless " and other films, and his economic conditions have been extremely good. big improvement. However, before Feng Xiaogang was not developed, Feng Gong often used his own money to support him when he encountered financial difficulties. After becoming famous, Feng Xiaogang always thinks of "Da Sapa". Although Feng Gong forgave him, he was always hard to let go. In 2003, he wrote in his autobiography "I Dedicate My Youth to You": "I know that I I hurt him, and now that I think about it, I hurt myself, so I'm here to say to him: Brother Gong, I'm really sorry."
For Feng Xiaogang, he wrote himself into his autobiography. In 2003, Feng Gong wrote Feng Xiaogang into his autobiography. The sketch " Road Love Song ". "Love Song on the Road" was performed by Feng Gong and Zhou Tao and . In this sketch, Zhou Tao teased Feng Gong: "I know you are good! You look like Feng Gong!" Feng Gong said to Zhou Tao: "How can you curse people, you! Old Feng There are so many beautiful people in the family! For example, Feng Xiaogang! Those two big teeth are like small shovels! How can I look like Feng Gong? Feng Gong's eyes are so small! Look at our eyes, we can hardly open them!" , Feng Gong once again resolved Feng Xiaogang's inner remorse and guilt.
Feng Gong did not mistake Feng Xiaogang. After constant efforts, Feng Xiaogang has become one of the most famous directors in China. He is very happy for his achievements. When Feng Xiaogang was at the highlight of his life and surrounded by people, he was far awayStand in the distance, do not disturb. When Feng Xiaogang was in crisis, his reputation was damaged, and the people who once surrounded him left one by one, he was still the "Brother Gong" who wanted him to be good and would not avoid him.
Maybe on that night when he was drunk, Feng Gong already understood the inferiority and pride in Feng Xiaogang's heart, and Feng Xiaogang, who has been entangled in these two emotions all his life, is destined to have a peaceful life.
