After the talk show brother disappeared, his younger brothers Li Dan and Wang Jianguo finally went into different lives...


01.


In 2011, Shanghai Dragon TV encountered a crisis. Haipai sweetheart Zhou Libo just left the front foot and signed a contract with Zhejiang TV, and the back foot star gave " China's good voice " to Zhejiang TV.


was at the time when the local satellite TV was divided. Hunan had " Happy Family ", Tianjin had " is yours, ", Jiangsu had "Don't Disturb", Zhejiang took advantage of the rise... the most valuable "Dafa" in the East. Renxiu", not yet his own child.


was anxious to find the best models with a flashlight.


That year, Wang Zijian became popular on the Internet with the cross talk "Singing the Lyrics of Taiping", with laughter, scolding and insulting people without swear words, packaged and commented on major current events, satirizing oil prices, housing prices, and Gaddafi. People gave him the nickname "Little Prince".


In the first year, Ye Feng, director of Dragon TV , made a special program "We talk about cross talk tonight after the 1980s". At that time, I felt that Wang was different from others and more in line with the tastes of young people. After Zhou Libo left, Ye Feng thought that the talk show had to be done, and Wang Zijian was quite suitable. I found the queen, gave him a long enough brokerage contract, made a deep bond, and set up a late-night show.


is called " Tonight Post-80s Talk Show ".


"Talk Show of the Post-80s Tonight"


Unexpectedly, as soon as "Tonight" was launched, it rushed to the second place in the national ratings. Annual advertising revenue exceeded 100 million. At that time, video websites had not yet emerged, and without any promotion, the Youku family alone had more than 80 million hits. Wang Zijian showed his face once a week, was so busy that he almost vomited blood, and was still writing jokes at two o'clock in the middle of the night. At this point, the leader of the station also asked with concern:


"Xiao Wang, can we double-broadcast every week?" As a result, Taili sold the title of the second season early. Ye Feng could see it very clearly, just pointing at Wang Zijian's wool, the show would definitely not last long. So the whole country cast a net and focused on training, and a large number of jokes were brought under the command of the network.


In this army, there are people who stand on the stage later.


a Li Dan , a Wang Jianguo , a pool.


In 2014, "Tonight" was launched for two years. Ye Feng's wedding, He Xiaoxi , who also has a background in variety show production, went to congratulate him. Looking back on the past, the two felt that they were not confused when they were approaching, and it was time to start a career. So when the two sides combined, they got a company and started the comedy industry. In May of that year, Xiaoguo Culture was established in Shanghai.


And far away on the other side of the ocean, the American Comedy Central Tucao Conference is in full swing, and Fu Lanlan is sprayed all over by relatives and friends. A year later, this program was translated to the Internet by Gu Da vernacular .


Ye Feng took a look and thought it was very interesting.


, a new hit, just like that. Although


02.


is called "that fancier" by Lao Guo, I have to say that Wang Zijian is very talented when it comes to making people laugh.


Wang Zhenger has only been learning cross talk for one year, when he was 9 years old. At that time, his mother was working at the train station, and he became one of the few people in the school who could help the teacher get a train ticket, so he was given preferential treatment by not handing in his homework and not being punished at the station. But the head teacher was ineffective, so he made it too ruthless. Once I asked him to buy a ticket and said, "Don't come back to class if you can't buy it." Wang Zijian tried his best, but he still didn't get a ticket.


The head teacher called on the whole class to isolate him.


In the early 1990s, cross talk was still booming. After falling in love, Wang Zijian was admitted to the CCTV Dandelion Art Troupe to learn cross talk. As a result, I was attracted by Jiang Wen 's acting skills in " has something to say ", and began to learn Jiang Wen stutters. Once you go to school, you can't go back.


After that, Wang Zijian began to let himself go, playing all over Beijing, running a four-wheel drive car and running into the top three in the city, and reselling parts to make money. In the fifth grade, I came into contact with computers and went to Zhongguancun to save machines for others. After earning money, I became more and more convinced:


school is useless, it is better for me to learn by myself. When


entered high school, he entered a second-class middle school because of a fight with people. Addicted to games, he secretly wrote strategies for game magazines and made a lot of money. When he was a sophomore in high school, he felt that the school couldn't teach anything, so he voluntarily dropped out of school, bought a bunch of liberal arts materials as a social idler, and recited it.


was admitted to a famous school in Beijing.


At that time, Wang Zijian's ambition to build the motherland had already waved to Wang Zijian from afar. As a result, after entering the school for a year and fighting again, he was forced to drop out by the school. In the end, only a correspondence diploma can be mixed.


Throughout his student days, Wang Zijian never played cards according to the routine.


"When Wang Zijian talked about cross talk"


After that, he became a shooter, director, and entrepreneur. Thinking about it is also a bad move, playing a quiz game on TV, cheating people on phone bills, and earning as much as 50,000 a day. Fortunately, the government took action in time, and the fine of 2 million taught him a lesson, so he did not go astray.


After the incident, Wang Zijian consciously lost his heart, lost money, and was a little anxious.


This anxiety, stuttering is actually better.


happened in that year, Deyun Club was born, Guo Degang became popular.


The feng shui of cross talk suddenly turned back. After


03.


, Wang Zijian went to work in an advertising company. By coincidence,


participated in the performance of Beijing Normal University Cross Talk Club, and the effect was actually good. After that, I went to work and ran cross talk with like-minded friends. Tired is really tired, happy is really happy. Earning so much money in a high-end office building does not make people laugh and have a sense of accomplishment.


The key is that he has talent and makes rapid progress. Language arts pay attention to a sense of rhythm. Although Wang Zijian's tongue is not easy to sway, he shakes the stem and punctuates every sentence. A vicious, sharp style soon developed.


He doesn't care about money, he just wants to be happy. Dissatisfied with his nine-to-five life, he quit his job and set up a "Cross Talk Class II", which was held in Guangming Pavilion for 80 yuan for a performance. Different from traditional cross talk, Wang Zijian pays attention to hot spots, is bold and dares to speak, a little Guo DegangThe meaning of adding Zhou Libo. Even " China Youth Daily " praised:


"Most of his cross talk jokes come from news and current affairs. In 2008, Ye Feng created "80 Tonight Talk Show" around him. Each issue has a theme, covering house slaves, rich second generation, drafts, etc., and is close to ordinary people. Once launched,


was unstoppable.


That year, Li Dan, a 23-year-old college graduate, left Guangzhou and came to Beijing. He met a netizen Dongdonggun , whom he met on Fanfou, and began to write articles for Ogilvy & Mather with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan. .


worked for a year. Wang Zijian, eager to expand the talent pool of Duanzishou, contacted him through a friend and asked him if he would like to go to Shanghai. When Li Dan saw that he was making money, he went. At the same time, he joined the team of behind-the-scenes jokers in "Tonight", as well as Wang Jianguo, who received a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan on NetEase Weibo.


At that time, "Tonight" made an offer by article for the joke. Write it down in a month, and you can earn more than 10,000 yuan per month. More importantly, the talk show industry has just started, and if you follow the show, it will grow very fast.


, especially "Tonight", which is purely based on jokes, is broadcast once a week. After giving the title, the draft will be released in one night, which greatly exercises creativity. After a year or two, all kinds of skills are familiar.


During this period, Wang Zijian took the team to the United States to communicate. It was found that "Tonight" is the only team in China whose production mechanism is close to that of American professional talk shows. After returning, the Duanzi Legion doubled its expansion. In order to enrich the form of the program, Wang Zijian began to repeatedly mention the three small partners " Lai Bao , Eggy, Jianguo" in the program.


"Dandan and Jianguo in "Tonight"


That's not enough, we have to bring them all to the stage.


However, at the beginning, Li Dan and Jianguo didn't think much about it, and even refused to take the stage. At first, the two were very young, mischievous and full of sadness. I despise fireworks from the bottom of my heart. Ye Feng said that he wanted to solve the compilation problem, but neither Li Dan nor Jianguo wanted:


"Why do you want that thing? I just don't want to be restrained."


Of course, persecution is not persecution.


was on stage for the first time, and the director team gave 800 yuan.


They're just after that money.


04.


Li Dan and Jianguo, one was born in Inner Mongolia and the other was born in Northeast China.


Li Dan is a child of the factory and mine. When he was in elementary school, he could hear the mining announcement every day. He has a naughty heart and loves to pick up on the teacher's words, but he is still the norm in school. After all, my mother is a teacher, and there are too many familiar faces. Only when I go to my grandma's house during the summer vacation can I feel relaxed. The grassland is another world, the snow is howling in the deep winter, people are nested in yurts, and there is no entertainment.


loves watching Wu Zongxian on TV.


A gag heart was planted back then.


Li Dan was originally a scholar, but when he was in junior high school, he began to consider choosing Tsinghua still choose Peking University . As a result, in high school, a stubborn and rebellious heart suddenly emerged with a humanistic trend of thought. He felt that serious study was boring, so he abandoned his studies and started Milan Kundera , Truman Capote . After the college entrance examination, I found that I could only go to herd sheep. Seeing that my parents had no light on their heads, I had to endure another year of study and be admitted to a school in Guangzhou.


When he was in college, Li Dan was depressed and melancholy, and became the three hobbies of adolescence: drinking, writing poetry, and writing jokes.


felt that life was boring, so he would drink, and when the mood came, he would write poetry. When was a sophomore in his sophomore year, he wrote "Chujing" on the Internet, and the crystal clear jokes aroused the interest of publishers and wanted to publish a book for him. He didn't come out, thinking it wasn't a joke. What a fucking shame for such a book to come out?


In that year, he went to the Southern Department of newspapers as an intern. He heard that some reporters were trying to get tickets for the Spring Festival through internal relations.


At that time, Li Dan had a strong literary and artistic atmosphere. He was thinking about the relationship between the world and people. He was full of grief and anger. In 2007, he met Shi Hang and Dongdong Liao on Fanfou, and both of them were moved by his writing aura. At the same time, there is another Duanzi hand.


is nesting in Wang Jianguo, who writes jokes in an urban village in Guangzhou.


"It's still the "Dandan" Li Dan"


Jianguo grew up in a happy family and was doted on as a child. He is an in-depth game enthusiast. Fortunately, he did not delay in his studies, and he performed exceptionally well in the senior high school entrance examination. He entered a key middle school. Unfortunately, since then, Jianguo's academic ranking has stabilized at the bottom of the class, making him often suspect that he is a waste. The more skeptical


, the more stable the results.


was the last one in the college entrance examination.


's funny words are also formed in school. Once he was so hungry that he stole bread and was caught by the passing principal. After reporting the criticism, read the inspection in front of the whole class. Jianguo gave full play to his literary talent, and wrote the examination into a collection of hilarious jokes, which made the whole class laugh.


When Li Dan met him, he was writing the 1.5 million-word novel "Sister Li's Bastard Superpower World", with a very literary pen name called "Maggot". Finally, the novel was put on the Internet and sold for more than 100 yuan. The signing site also gave him a very inhumane contract. Until NetEase recruited Duanzishou and settled in with a monthly salary of 1,500.


Jianguo is not like Li Dan. After Li Dan got to know Shi Hang on Fanfou, he went to Beijing to get acquainted with people, and soon became a player in the game. The founding of the country is closed, and the crowds are not more than a slap.


Li Dan made an online appointment with him three times before he admired his face and ate mutton with Li Dan. While eating, I thought:


"Don't come looking for me again."


Then Ye Feng found them.


05.


In the early years, Ye Feng was in Hunan Jingshi . Channel is not available. Seeing the popularity of " Super Girl ", Ye Feng felt lonely and hoped that he could also participate in a carnival talent show.


then turned to Dragon TV to plan "Come on, good man!". After creating a star, Ye Feng realized a new problem.


Program producers are not familiar with the record industry process, the originality is also very weak, it is difficult to form an industrial chain to tap enough commercial value from the players. The high popularity of the players has not been realized in the end. To put on a music performance, the cost is high. The input-output ratio is really not worth it.


Wang Zijian's appearance made Ye Feng see new possibilities. A talk show actor came on stage with a microphone. The production of jokes is much faster than making an album. After a talk show player becomes popular, he can still host, participate in variety shows, and act in movies, constantly digging out their value. After


hit it off with his old friend He Xiaoxi, the two set their sights on the stand-up comedy industry. However, in the first two years of the establishment of Xiaoguo , the focus was still on "Tonight".


Dandan and Jianguo were behind the scenes and they were kicked on stage by Ye Feng. Ye Feng also made a small theater for the two of them called "Brothers of the Birth of the Nation", but unfortunately none of the episodes were sold.


also had Cheng Lu , Siwen , Shi Yan , Little Crazy, and later Haiyuan, Zhao Xing and Pang Bo . These people have become familiar faces on "Tonight" and accumulated the first batch of iron fans.


As for the pool, Li Dan dug it up from the "Beijing".


" pool "


pool does not like to play cards according to the routine. Because the family is engaged in art, the environment is relaxed, and children are encouraged to awaken themselves. Chizi has a wide range of interests in playing small games. He wants to do painting, skateboarding, basketball, fighting, and cooking. In the third year of high school, he went to the art test, but he didn't get into the Beiying , so he simply didn't go to university.


At that time, DJs were on the rise, and he was thinking about becoming a DJ. Originally, I studied music online, but I fell in love with American talk shows halfway through, and felt that it was particularly advanced to ridicule politics and culture. It just so happened that "Beituo" was looking for an actor at that time, so he went to try it. In this test, the talent exploded and was taken away by the "Northern Departure". In May of that year, people from Shenzhen and Shanghai clubs went to Beijing to perform. There was a temporary shortage of actors, and Chi Zi was recommended to appear in the finale, and his talent shocked the industry.


After watching one of his performances, Li Dan immediately added WeChat and asked him if he would like to perform on "Tonight".


just like that, Chi Zi became a resident player.


At that time, Ye Feng put a lot of effort into training everyone and exploring the industry situation. Not only did Li Dan, Jianguo, Chi Zi, and Shi Yan come to the fore, but they also organized offline "Pu Chi", with performances every week. Everyone went up and said new jokes as much as possible, which deeply trained the team. In addition, Ye Feng also asked Shi Yan of Jiaotong University to go deep into colleges and universities to find newbies and organize offline training. That's how Pang Bo came out.


The people who talk about talk shows are already quite famous on Weibo and Shanghai. In the trials of the "Tonight" stage, in the expansion of the Duanzi Army, and in the exploration of the offline industry, the comedy blueprint in Ye Feng's mind slowly unfolded in reality.


is just short of a torch to light up the field so that the audience can see it more clearly.


"Tucao Conference" came at just the right time. When Xiaoguo was established, Ye Feng chose Li Dan.


It stands to reason that Wang Zijian was in the limelight at that time. To find a partner and rely on Wang's fame, things should become easier. But in the information published by Xiaoguo, Wang Zijian's label is only "co-founder" and has no shareholder status. In 2017, "Tonight" ended, and Wang Zijian hid comedy comedy.


is also the year when the first season of "Tucao Conference" was launched, and his friend "Dandan" became Li Dan.


Moreover, he is also a shareholder of Xiaoguo.


As for why "Little Prince" has not become one of the core of Xiaoguo, there are too many unclear words here. When Wang Zijian was on the show, he publicly stated: "I'm not short of money, money can't buy me." very unhappy. Once the audience was staggered, he deliberately said a lot of shit and fart jokes, people should eat and drink. After that, Wang Zijian didn't like to go out for acupuncture. His understanding of comedy is that both the speaker and the listener must be happy, otherwise it will be meaningless.


Perhaps at this point, money is not that important.


Looking back in time, in the first half of his life when he played cards out of the way, he had never been in a hurry with money.


seems to prefer to do what he likes to do.


"The last episode of "The Post-80s Talk Show Tonight"


In fact, Wang Zijian was still the host when he borrowed from Roast to make a sample of "Tucao Conference". Ye Feng showed the clients two sample episodes, but many people didn't think the show would be popular.


finally met Wang Sicong through Yi Xiaoxing .


He Xiaoxi thought: Let Wang Sicong be the main coffee to record an episode.


As a result, the show was not recorded, and President Wang became an investor.


In 2016, the day after dinner with Principal Wang, He Xiaoxi received a call from Tencent . Due to the large scale, the two episodes hosted by Wang Zijian were tragically offline. A year later, "Tucao Conference" was logged into Tencent, and the host has become Zhang Shaogang . Wang Zijian went back to host, but then disappeared. After that, the news that he and his ex-wife were in a deep depression broke out on the Internet.


Since then, there has been no talk show. In the last issue of


"Tonight", all the other guests went, but Li Dan and Chizi did not. Later, on the show, people asked Li Dan if he broke up with Wang Zijian, and Mr. Egg replied: "I guess they didn't break up."


"He just thinks talk shows are tired of talking." After


"Tonight" ended, Wang Zijian slowly disappeared from the public eye, and his popular figure was gradually forgotten. His turning and leaving gave the newcomers a lot of room for growth. In the same year, "Tucao Conference" helped Li Dan and Chizi to harvest big fans. Soon, Li Dan successfully broke the circle.


Ye Feng was very surprised by this. He didn't expect his eyesight to be so good. This young man who originally assumed the responsibility of the content director will become the spokesperson of an era label. The social repercussions brought by Li Dan's sentence "The world is not worth it" far exceeded the simple expectations of a talk show star.


has such a wide range of influence, I am afraid Wang Zijian can not do it.


So Ye Feng is very clear that this kind of thing is luck:


"There will be no second Li birthday."


Li Dan was not made, he naturally grew up like that.


just happened to hitthe nerves of young people.


07.


Jianguo is also confused when Li Dan started to follow the trend.


When they first arrived in Shanghai, the two were of one virtue.


Wen Qing's foundation is poor, has no savings, has a twisted relationship with the world, and has a bunch of self-stubborn principles.


mixed Weibo in his early years, Li Dan especially despised Duanzi's mutual forwarding and pulling traffic. Some advertisers came to the door, and he also felt that it was boring to make that money. There is no long-term plan in life, so I go to drink after work. When I came to Shanghai to write jokes, I didn't have much pursuit in my work. In his own words, he can do anything.


's only passion at the time was still in literature.


At that time, he and Jiang Fangzhou made a "star project", to be far apart, to shine, and to write good things. Unfortunately, literature did not bring him any practical benefits. I wrote and wrote, and I failed to establish my own prestige in literature. The growth of talent did not keep pace with the change in his attitude in the end.


At the beginning of his agreement with Jiang, he may still have literary ambitions. But around 2015, due to the turbulent worldview, Li Dan quickly took another path. In the memory of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Dan let go at that time, wore fancy clothes and dyed red hair. Before, he always felt that his works were immature, and he was reluctant to publish them. As a result, the first book was published that year. After


, Li Dan began to accept things that were unacceptable in his early years. After


became a shareholder of Xiaoguo, the change was even more dramatic. Not to mention reposting jokes on Weibo, interacting with celebrities, or dancing awkwardly on the show, as long as the money is given. But in fact, he is not a materialistic person. A lot of things were not fought for, they just happened to be pushed to that position.


" Zhang Quandan on the pilot episode of "Tucao Conference"


was pushed there, Li Dan chose to cooperate well.


At first, He Xiaoxi was worried that his artistic personality was too strong and he couldn't screw it up. As a result, I took him out to meet investors, and found that he was quite modest and not high-level at all. When working, he is also very active. He is always the one who produces the jokes the fastest. He can also coordinate the content of the entire company and ensure the quality of the jokes.


This kind of change, take Cheng Lu's words: "He is a smart person, on the one hand is an artist temperament, on the other hand is pragmatic. He can especially see the rules of this world." The posture seems to be too compromising. Jianguo didn't know why he gave up so suddenly, even writing novels, Li Dan felt boring.


wrote a sentence in the book he gave to Jiang Fangzhou, called "You work hard, I can't". Later, I met a friend who wrote novels on the street, and they advised him to persevere. Li Dan asked: "What's the point of writing those things?" draw. When I was young, I wanted to make something awesome. As a result, after years of washing, I found that I was just an ordinary person. The great achievements in the world have nothing to do with oneself. One of them asked Li Dan if he had seen anyone who realized his dream.


Li Dan laughed: "It's me."


made the other party crynight.


Later, Li Dan said to the other party:


"I'm kidding you. The problem is, I don't have any dreams at all."


So in the end, Li Dan seems particularly easy to give up. Can't reach that thing? It's not enough. He posted a piece of work in the creative group, and after reading it, Jiang Fangzhou said that the writing was not good.


他紧跟着就来了句:


“我可能就这么业余下去了。”


「拿了两个亚军的王建国」


相比于李诞转向“实用主义”后的积极,王建国才是彻头彻尾"Buddhism". Although


is on stage at the same time, Jianguo will not like talk shows until 2018. He was also pushed by the industry. I don't take the initiative, I don't refuse, I don't have any expectations or enthusiasm for becoming a star. To perform on stage is just to make a living and make more money. Interesting is interesting. Wang Jianguo usually doesn't spend much money, and more than half of his money is spent on games.


spends less than a third of what they earn in a year. When


was talking about the talk show on "Tonight", he didn't even rent a house in Shanghai, he lived in the Express Hotel . Later, I rented a 15-square-meter house, just like what he said on the talk show, and bought a TV of 30,000 yuan, mainly for playing games. The rest of the money is sent back to his hometown for his mother to manage.


don't have such a strong desire to be famous and make a lot of money.


Li Dan first asked him to be an artist. His first reaction was:


"I'm a fart artist." . Talk shows are far less important to him than games, comics and novels. If you have money now, do your best to earn it. If the influence is bigger, then take the opportunity to earn a little more.


earn enough, go back to the northeast, play games and write novels.


The idol of the founding of the country in the early years was , the nine knives .


's dream is to become a novelist. Whether or not the ideal


is still alive today is unclear.


08.


The pool is different, he is still young and he has to dance.


Pool showed an untamed face early in the morning. In "Tonight", the company asked to transfer Weibo, but he refused to transfer, feeling too stupid. For the sophistication of human feelings and flattery, he basically ignores it. In an interview with in his early years, he said that he didn't want to be a typical artist, but wanted to be real, tell the truth, be himself, and be unflattering.


wants to bring something meaningful to people through talk shows. People after


95 are fierce. Sure enough, later he became himself on Weibo, and he frequently fought with the brainless fans of traffic idols. Later, I started to be myself again, and I got up to the CEO of Xiaoguo Culture, hahahahahahahahahahaha.


"Chizi was removed from the group chat by the CEO of Xiaoguo Culture"


For Chizi, the world and me don't seem to be so twisted.


It doesn't matter whether the world is fucked or not, it's important to be real.


This is probably the logic of young people's vitality.


brought Li Dan and Jianguo together. These three jokers really turned people's lives into a bad street joke:


"After 80, whoever has more money will do it; As for the aspiring young people who are in their thirties and who once fantasized about shaking the world with their talents, those who have spent their youth for movies and literature, all their poetic and pictorial tastes have been in vain and have not made any money. Wenqing people, it is estimated that it is no use to be a pool.


Either learn from Li Dan, don't get enough of the things you can't reach, and become "pragmatic", or learn to build a country, keep a little personal interest, eat enough with one hand, build your own spiritual house with one hand, and be content with yourself Happy, have a good life.


Dreaming of this kind of thing is too expensive for middle-aged people.


Especially in the past two years, when the general environment is sluggish, when a fire in my heart is about to burn, think about the mortgage, the second child, the elderly at home, and the wife's flowers, you will not be random @CEO in the group. What did


say in "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko"?


"Dreams are free, but there are only a handful of people who can realize their dreams and live a happy life."


There is no way, the days when dreams cannot be exchanged for meal tickets are not suitable for the theme of this "realism" era.


Not to mention what you have, or limited talent.


I think back then, Li Dan, who was once sad and angry, was shocked when he heard Principal Wang sing "The Dream of New Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies" on KTV.


I suggest that the young people of Ba Wenqing should study and study the lyrics more:


"Looks like a mandarin duck butterfly, it should not be the age, but who can understand the sorrow of this world." Some references for this article:
