The Liu Laogen Stage in Beijing frequently showed signs of closure. Many media visited and took photos of goods being moved and closing. It is understood that the Liu Laogen Stage in Beijing will indeed be closed this time. The tables, chairs, benches, costumes and props in the venue have been gradually moved out in the past two days, and the theater's performances have also been suspended for many days. Some media interviewed a truck driver during the visit and learned that the moved materials will be transported to Shenyang, Liaoning, where Liu Laogen's big stage is headquartered.
As we all know, Liu Laogen Stage was founded by Zhao Benshan, the king of sketches. Since the first Liu Laogen Stage was founded in Shenyang in 2009, this theater mainly featuring Northeastern duos has carried the memories of too many northerners. . It is understood that various exhibition halls in Liu Laogen stages across the country are named after Zhao Benshan's sketches and TV series. The decorations and props in the theater all reflect Zhao Benshan's style.
Most of these items are tables, chairs, benches, performance equipment, and some furniture ornaments, etc. It is reported that these goods are to be sent back to Shenyang, which can also confirm that Liu Laogen Stage is indeed going to close down. Now, after Zhao Benshan gradually faded out of the entertainment industry, it can be said that the turmoil continues. The impact is undoubtedly huge, but life has its ups and downs. Don’t be discouraged when you are at the bottom. No matter what state you are in, stay down-to-earth and be yourself. No, according to the latest video taken by netizens, Liu Laogen’s big stage in Beijing has reopened.
Laogen Villa, which is connected to the big stage, is also officially open for business, but the author of the video did not go in for dinner. It can be seen that the entire big stage has entered the formal operation stage. As for the issue of buying tickets, netizens also conducted an on-site investigation. Although tickets are not yet available, staff are already in place. It is estimated that the official performance will be performed in the next few days. The fact that there are staff means everything is almost back to normal. But some people say that Zhao Benshan is getting old and it’s time to rest.
In any case, Zhao Benshan has been brilliant on the Spring Festival Gala for more than 20 years. Since the Spring Festival Gala, how many people can be like Zhao Benshan? Although he is older, Zhao Benshan definitely does not want to give up so early. After all, he is only in his 60s. His people need a stage and exposure. If these occasions are gone, the team will not be able to lead it. Some people say , in addition to the problem that the box office is too expensive, the most fundamental problem is that Liu Laogen's two-person performance on the big stage is too vulgar.
Errenzhuan itself is not vulgar, it is an art form, what is vulgar is some content, and these vulgar contents can be changed. Zhao Benshan himself presented many excellent programs to the people of the country during the Spring Festival Gala, and he should be recognized. The best place to watch Errenzhuan is the small theater in the alley on the roadside. Where can you find it now? Grassroots things must be green. If they become green, they will be finished.
It is a pity that such a smash hit theater has lost its former glory as Zhao Benshan has faded out. Zhao Benshan also admitted that the basis of Errenzhuan is "vulgar" and that there is an urgent need for improvement and innovation. However, after so many years, Zhao Benshan's Errenzhuan is still the same, and even Deyun Club, which was once tepid, has caught up. Another important reason is that there are no successors to Errenzhuan. Most of Zhao Benshan's apprentices have now become Internet celebrities. It is difficult to have apprentices who focus on Errenzhuan's career.
The once prosperous Xiaoshenyang broke up with Zhao Benshan, while the down-to-earth and diligent Song Xiaobao remained tepid. This situation was really embarrassing. Zhao Benshan created an era but no one inherited it. The small door of Liu Laogen's stage in Beijing is where Zhang Yujiao runs a tobacco and alcohol business, which sells expensive tobacco and alcohol, and even collectible cigarettes worth several thousand yuan a piece.
The "Jiaojiao Incident" not only affected Zhao Benshan's personal reputation, but more importantly, it affected important enterprises such as Liu Laogen Stage owned by Benshan Media. In fact, the foundation of Errenzhuan is vulgar. Zhao Benshan also admits that tradition is more important than innovation, and he is willing to appreciate the refined and vulgar, expecting a hundred flowers to bloom. Moreover, the proportion of vulgar is not large, but this vulgar part is clinging to the mainstream and is picked up by the self-media. The frequency of transmission is high and it has become a topic of discussion.
It’s just that after so many years, Errenzhuan has not changed much, and there is very little innovation in content. On the contrary, these apprentices of Zhao Benshan have made a lot of money, as can be seen from Country Love, There is no bottom line in order to make money. In the past, the sketches were mainly satirical and reflected social conditions. They were real and down-to-earth, so everyone liked them. Now they are becoming more and more empty, and they are inevitable to be eliminated.
An era has passed. Alas, in fact, they understand better than anyone else that just messing around is just a day. Zhao Benshan is a product of the times and a transitional product of the times. His works and performance style can only be a hit. With the continuous development and progress of culture, Benshan culture will inevitably be eliminated as dross. The art of wearing hats and shoes on one side cannot last forever.
Originally, the duo is something for the common people, but Liu Laogen broke away from the common people when the ticket price for the big stage exceeded 100. You can afford it with about 500,000 yuan. A show changes every half a year and the ticket price is several hundred. Who would go? One is that the ticket price is expensive. In addition, these actors basically put their energy into self-media or participate in variety shows. His mind is no longer on the performance, but now that the big stage has returned, it shows that Zhao Benshan still cares about his career. Maybe if it works well, there will be a day when he can return to the top?
