On the big stage of the Spring Festival Gala, the shining light of the sketches bathed a group of actors in the glorious starlight, but Chen Peisi's artistic experience is a magnificent legend.
Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's "Eating Noodles" made the pair a veritable sketch superstar as soon as they appeared. The next "Protagonist and Supporting Role" and "Police and Thief" made the audience remember the dazzling existence on this stage, and Chen Peisi also emerged and became a bright star in the field of sketches.
However, at the peak of his career, Chen Peisi ushered in an event that changed his fate. In 1998, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao jointly presented "The Prince and the Postman" became the pinnacle of their farewell to the Spring Festival Gala.
However, the farewell was not voluntary, but a grudge drama with CCTV kicked off. After "The King and the Postman", Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's works were made into CDs and sold by CCTV subsidiaries without authorization. Chen Peisi was furious when he learned about it, found CCTV theory, and demanded to stop sales and apologize publicly.
CCTV's response was unacceptable to Chen Peisi. Although CCTV verbally agreed to stop selling, in fact, it continued to promote the sales of CDs behind the scenes. Faced with such fraud, Chen Peisi decided to have a legal showdown with CCTV. The lawsuit was long and tortuous, but in the end, Chen Peisi won 330,000 yuan in compensation.
However, this lawsuit completely broke the relationship between Chen Peisi and CCTV. Despite the victory in the lawsuit, he never returned to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and his career was also hit a lot, which made many people feel very sorry for this former sketch superstar. However, Chen Peisi was not discouraged by this. He moved to the field of drama and began to write and perform plays. His works such as "Balcony" and "Old House" have been highly praised and warmly welcomed by the audience.
Although the performance form of the drama is different from the sketch, Chen Peisi still adheres to his artistic pursuit and creative concept. His drama works not only have profound ideological, artistic and ornamental qualities, but also contain profound social and educational significance.
In addition to drama performances, Chen Peisi is also committed to cultivating the younger generation of actors and directors. He founded the Avenue Comedy Theatre to provide a platform for young actors to learn and grow. He personally directed the creation and performance of young directors and provided great support for their growth.
Today, the 63-year-old Chen Peisi is still active on the stage, and his drama works are still loved by the audience. Although he has been away from the Spring Festival Gala stage for 21 years, Chen Peisi's name is still deeply imprinted in people's memory. He is a real "ruthless man" who has created many classics with his talent and courage. He is also a true artist who has infected many people with his artistic pursuits and spiritual strength.
Chen Peisi's story tells us that sticking to the truth and moving forward bravely, even if there are twists and turns, we can harvest dazzling stars on the long road of life. He is not only a superstar on the sketch stage, but also an indomitable artistic warrior, transforming his bumpy experience into creative motivation, presenting a more multi-dimensional and rich art world to the audience.
