Until 2010, Jiangsu Satellite TV's amateur blind date program "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" broke the dominance of Hunan Satellite TV and made a breakthrough in the Chinese variety show market.
This variety show has become the only program comparable to "Happy Camp", and the ratings are firmly in the first place on first-line satellite TV, and the value of bald hosts Le Jia and Meng Fei has skyrocketed.
They often engage in a war of words on the show because of disagreements, and this plot has become a favorite attraction of the audience.
An emotional expert and a veteran presenter worked hand in hand, and their tacit cooperation presented the best results. However, later news came out that the two turned against each other because of the competition for the title of "Jiangsu Satellite TV's First Brother".
Nowadays, when Le Jia and Meng Fei are mentioned, one has disappeared and the other is highly respected. What kind of ups and downs have the two experienced over the years?
Meng Fei was born in 1971 in an ordinary family in Chongqing. Due to the work of his parents, the family moved to Nanjing to settle down. Meng Fei loves to study Xi and has a cheerful personality, but he has a serious problem of deviating from his subjects, which makes his parents very worried.
In the year of the college entrance examination, Meng Fei coincided with the divorce of his parents, which led to his failure to be admitted to a prestigious university.
This incident made him feel very guilty, and in the face of his parents' accusations, he had to give up his studies and embark on the road of society.
Meng Fei went to Shenzhen alone to work, and many companies were reluctant to hire him due to his lack of diploma, so he had to do manual work on the construction site.
Even so, he did not fall into self-pity, but strengthened his determination to make money.
Le Jia was born in 1975 in Shanghai. In order to make a living, Lejia's parents took him to Shaanxi to work when he was only two months old.
As a result, the family lived a life of poverty, and this impoverished environment developed Lejia's inferiority complex.
Lejia's personality is very extreme, because his parents often quarrel in front of him over money issues, and even violent behavior.
During his studies, he gambled with his classmates and shaved his hair to save face after losing. Even when he was reprimanded by his teachers and parents, he didn't care. This behavior shows that Lejia is a stubborn and conceited person.
His results were not ideal, but he was eloquent. After graduating from high school, he started working in a bank.
He later chose to give up his comfortable life to challenge himself, and luckily, he met a great leader.
With his excellent eloquence, Lejia started the sales of cosmetics, and became the sales champion in Ningbo in only one year, making a name for himself in the head office.
Meng Fei was different, and even when Le Jia was respected, he was still working as a waiter in a restaurant.
His parents recommended him to join the printing factory of Jiangsu TV Station, and in order to live up to his parents' expectations, he willingly became a printer.
He works every day, but that doesn't stop him from looking forward to the future. He not only worked part-time but also worked hard to Xi mathematics, and went home every day exhausted to read.
He was dissatisfied with the salary of only a few dozen yuan, and in order to double his Xi, he stayed up all night, and as a result, he actually dozed off when he went to work during the day, causing his left hand to be accidentally caught in the machine.
His left hand was saved, but the company's leaders and employees were forced to leave, causing employees to discriminate and isolate Meng Fei. The whole process is processed by the hospital.
He was fortunate to be admitted to Nanjing Normal University, and now he has taken the initiative to leave his job to study Xi at home.
After graduating, he joined Jiangsu TV to work, but even there, he still did not get the respect he deserved, but was exploited by his old employees.
All the difficulties he had experienced became the talk of the road for the future.
Through these jobs, he became familiar with the production process, and his hard-working attitude won the affection of the leaders.
Whenever a new show is launched, he is always the first to recommend, and Meng Fei always dutifully completes the task.
Due to the departure of his leader, Lejia became the focus of conflict in the eyes of the company's employees, and everyone envied his talent and pressured him to resign.
After being wronged in his career, he beat his wife at home because he couldn't control his anger, which led to the eventual divorce of the two.
Having lost his love and career, he turned his attention to his oratorical work.
His thirst for fame and money led him to make a name for himself in less than a year as a salesman and into a high-profile and famous speaker.
Meng Fei's luck doesn't seem to be so lucky, he is on the rise in his career, but he encounters the reform of the TV station, the old employee who originally promoted him was fired, and he was transferred to a hosting field that he is not good at.
He made frequent mistakes at the beginning and was abused by the leaders, but with his efforts, "Nanjing Zero Distance" became one of the favorite programs of the people of Nanjing, and Meng Fei showed his edge on the TV station.
Subsequently, he offered to shoot and edit the documentary "Running to Atlanta", and he got the job. The success of the show led him to an official position eventually. In 2010, Wang Gang drew inspiration from Feng Xiaogang's film "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and he needed two male hosts to co-host the show. Meng Fei got one of the opportunities, while emotional expert Le Jia got another.
At first, neither of them agreed to cooperate. After learning of Wang Gang's idea, Meng Fei agreed to give it a try, but Le Jia had difficulty communicating and was not interested in cooperating with Meng Fei.
However, for the sake of the effect of the show, Wang Gang impressed Le Jia with the condition of "Le Jia is the main and Meng Fei is supplemented".
Because of this commitment, Lejia became more conceited, turned "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" into his speech stage, and gave a personal evaluation of each guest.
The guests were offended by his words, which caused the female guests to burst into tears. Whenever this happens, Meng Fei always tries to save his dignity and find excuses for him to break the siege.
The show won the highest ratings due to its controversial nature, which led to a flood of reviews of the host online, and Meng Fei became the most popular host in the minds of viewers.
As the saying goes, peers are jealous. Le Jia regarded Meng Fei's rescue as a "bar", and began to suppress Meng Fei with all his might in the show to highlight his importance.
A female guest wanted to hug Meng Fei after a successful blind date, and Meng Fei agreed to her. When he hugged the female guest, he showed his gentlemanly demeanor. On the other hand, Le Jia felt "jealous" because the female guest only chose to hug Meng Fei.
Le Jia asked the female guest for a hug, and the female guest had to say, "Teacher Le, I like you very much." ”
He took the opportunity to hug the girl more tightly, and not only that, but also asked the female guest to express her feelings.
The female guest was very embarrassed, but she was too embarrassed not to speak, so she was asked by him, "What is the difference between you hugging me and hugging Meng Fei?"She replied, "Teacher Meng Fei and you and I like both."
The embarrassing atmosphere has become obvious, but Ke Lejia still insists on competing for the high, making the female guests say vague and slightly ambiguous words.
Lejia's behavior is intended to convey a concept to everyone - "I am the master of the show, and every guest should be more inclined to me." ”
Isn't that the most important thing?It's too premature to put someone in an awkward position just because you want to compete for a top.
Meng Fei said a word afterwards, saving the meaning of the show and stopping Le Jia's nonsense.
Meng Fei highly appreciated this, and he believed that it was possible for female guests to become other people's partners and wives, and hugging us was just a gesture of etiquette.
He stressed the importance of maintaining his status as a moderator and adhering to the appropriate code of conduct.
The more unrestrained Le Jia speaks, the better Meng Fei's reputation is. Because of his own strong topicality, he has been favored by ** people, and he is frequently invited to participate in the recording of various programs.
His sense of conceit also increased, and he was worried that he would inadvertently steal the limelight by Meng Fei.
On a show, he almost had a conflict with the guests because Lejia said something like this: "If there is no (paralyzed) brother to drag you down, your life will be freer".
The female guest was thrilled because she was a dutiful person, and she never saw her family as a burden.
At the scene of the show, she and Le Jia had a fierce smell of gunpowder, but fortunately, Meng Fei came forward in time to solve the siege, otherwise the situation might have become more confusing.
Le Jia caused more controversy due to the rising ratings of the show, and the TV station gradually stopped excusing him, and instead began to favor the unknown Meng Fei, trying to promote him as the first brother of satellite TV.
Le Jia no longer hides his jealousy of Meng Fei, but shows it publicly, and the two frequently clash in the show.
Soon after, there were rumors that Le Jia had a conflict with Meng Fei backstage of the show, and in the show, Le Jia's expression control became less than before, and whenever Meng Fei made a logical analysis and summary, he would deliberately interrupt Meng Fei's speech.
Until I couldn't help but say to Meng Fei on the show, "Don't you feel that you are a little hypocritical?"At that moment, the whole scene fell into a deathly silence, and it was extremely embarrassing.
When Meng Fei attended events, he was always asked about "feelings" because the topic was so hot. He responded to Lejia's unreasonable questions in a very decent way.
He feels that in interpersonal communication, you should control your emotions, and at the same time, you should also take into account the feelings of the other person, and you can't do what you want. He believes that sincerity and impulsiveness are very different.
Lejia has publicly stated many times that he will live according to his own preferences and will not consider the feelings of others, which cannot help but make people think.
Treating people the way you like is an easy way to make them unhappy, and that's the classic quote.
The two were full of tension on and off the stage, and what was even more surprising was that Le Jia also expressed his dissatisfaction with Meng Fei on Weibo, causing netizens to discuss with him "how to deal with the situation of being slandered and insulted".
Subsequently, news spread on the Internet, saying that Lejia would withdraw from "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", which triggered a heated discussion. It was discovered that since the news came out, Le Jia did frequently miss the recording of the program because of "damaged vocal cords".
Two months later, Shenzhen Satellite TV officially announced that Le Jia would become the host of the "Night Question" program and left Jiangsu Satellite TV completely.
The reason why Le Jia left his old club was that Jiangsu Satellite TV deviated from his original intention of participating in the show and maliciously edited him, causing his reputation to be damaged.
Lejia blamed all the blame on his old club and eventually fell out with him.
Meng Fei faced more pressure due to Le Jia's departure, but fortunately he still managed to maintain the reputation and ratings of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", which was entirely due to his personal efforts.
After Lejia left, he experienced a brief peak moment.
CCTV, Dragon TV and Anhui Satellite TV have extended olive branches to him, and the number of his programs has exceeded the scope of what he can record.
When Le Jia took over Sa Beining's "Chief Night Talk", he also said "how big the stage is and how big the face is lost", and he was even more aggressive when interviewing Dong Mingzhu.
She asked Dong Mingzhu to choose between "the company and her biological son", which made people call "speechless" when they saw it.
When participating in the recording of "Mr. Super", there was an "obscene" operation on Xie Na, which made people even more angry.
After he saw Xie Na on the stage, he stepped forward to hug her and tried to kiss her, and then lamented that he was "married at the wrong time", and boldly said that Xie Na was the object of his "sexual fantasy".
When participating in "I Am a Speaker", he and Hua Shao scolded each other at the press conference, and the two of them said one sentence to me, which made the ** people present sigh that this kind of behavior is detrimental to culture.
Not only did he tear up fellow hosts, but he even included dancer Venus and actor Serenity in his list"Insults"of the list.
Tranquility slapped the table at the recording site, causing Le Jia to feel dissatisfied, and this behavior "intimidated" her, and the audience and the host were afraid to speak up because of this.
Fortunately, Tranquility is not an easy person to be bullied, she yelled at Le Jia, and the aura of the two was evenly matched, and in the end Le Jia lost.
Women are inherently more sensitive than men, and the angry Tranquility satirizes Le Jia in the show, thus exposing Le Jia's "stinky temper".
In addition, Lejia's "poisonous tongue" is also aimed at Venus.
He once ridiculed Venus as a "eunuch" and didn't care about Venus's belittlement, and then the two also participated in the show together, and the entangled relationship made them not give each other a good look.
In the show, Le Jia drank several glasses of liquor in a row in order to gain an advantage, and his attitude towards the rules of the competition and the three mentors (Jin Xing, Dou Wentao and Lu Yu) was rude, showing his poor character.
Respected or disliked
Meng Fei is known as the "first brother of Jiangsu Satellite TV" because "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" continues to sit firmly on the throne of the ratings champion, which is admirable, and the momentum is far less than that of Le Jia.
He was also invited by many TV stations, but Meng Fei adhered to his "original intention", was unmoved by the work with high salaries and high salaries, and was determined to live and die with Jiangsu Satellite TV.
His reputation has risen rapidly thanks to his unwavering determination.
Due to the needs of Jiangsu Satellite TV, he refused the invitation to participate in the Spring Festival Gala in 2014.
In the same year, he also began to try his hand at a side business and founded a noodle restaurant called "Meng Fei Xiao Noodle", which was full every day.
As a result, he became the top of the Forbes celebrity list, and he overwhelmed the first-line hosts at home and abroad in terms of word-of-mouth and wealth.
Due to the poor reputation and straightforward personality of several consecutive shows, Le Jia has accumulated too many hostile forces in the entertainment industry, resulting in him becoming the object of "**" in the entertainment industry.
He used to be one of the popular characters of Jiangsu Satellite TV, but now he has become an unknown small character. In just 8 years, he lost the opportunity to be popular and make money, and finally had to return to the position of "orator".
However, what is helpless is that even the speeches he relies on are no longer noticed, and when Le Jia complained on Weibo that he was not as good as before, "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" announced the news of the revision.
In 2018, Meng Fei served as the sole host of "New Blind Date Conference", continuing the recording method of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb". He is respected for his high emotional intelligence and his ability to perfectly defuse any awkward situation.
At that time, there was a man who made a career as a "cleaner" to participate in a blind date show. Before he revealed his profession, all the female guests chose to leave the lights because he was dressed in luxurious clothes.
At the mention of his profession, the whole audience fell into darkness, which made the man feel very embarrassed. At this moment, Meng Fei suggested that the man should be introduced in detail.
The man turned out to be a ** rich man who collected "second-hand racing cars", and the female guests were taken aback, and the lights of the whole venue were extinguished. Meng Fei protected the dignity of men by saving the scene, and also improved the reputation of the show.
In the show, this kind of emergency is not a one-time situation, and "Meng Fei rescues" has become a common situation.
Subsequently, due to the high probability of guests successfully holding hands in his show, Meng Fei also won the reputation of "National Moon Elder".
In order to win more attention, Le Jia openly "abused" her daughter, asking her to hike 20 kilometers in the desert with her on the show.
Even if his daughter begged for mercy in pain, he was unmoved, thinking that he had established an image of a "strict father", but he did not expect to be "bombarded" by netizens because of the abuse of his daughter.
Subsequently, Le Jia was exposed to molesting the woman in the cabin, and it was also revealed that she was emotionally inattentive. He was married three times and divorced three times, which was enough to ruin his net worth and reputation.
Meng Fei's love is always accompanied by Li Xue, his wife of the dregs, which is obvious.
Meng Fei was involved in a "peach news" storm in 2020, and an intimate photo of him and four tall beauties went viral on the Internet, and many netizens began to speculate whether he would suffer the negative impact of the overturn of the "favorite wife".
He remained silent about it, even if he was questioned, and still shared intimate photos with his wife and daughter on Weibo, showing that the three of them often hold family events, and the deep affection for each other is obvious.
Meng Fei is not only very "fond of his wife", but also very "loves his daughter". In one show, he once expressed his hope that his daughter would marry someone from a good family. He encouraged his daughter to be more in love, but stressed the need to follow her heart's thoughts.
Netizens generally agree with Meng Fei's educational philosophy.
Whenever Meng Fei shares his private life, it will attract the attention of netizens.
Meng Fei posted a "hospitalization photo" on social **, and the following messages are all "Pray for Grandpa Meng to be soon**".
What about Lejia?He tried to hype up several times, but in the end they all ended in failure.
Even the efforts to transform herself from an innocent girl into a powerful and charming female figure could not arouse the enthusiasm of netizens for discussion. In the words of the fan circle, it can be said that there is no repercussion at all.
The formation of the identity difference between the two is not only influenced by the original ecological family, but also by the influence of later life experience.
Everything seems to have come too smoothly for Le Jia, and compared with Meng Fei, he has hardly experienced any setbacks in the first half of his life;And Meng Fei has endured too many worldly tribulations.
He knows that opportunities are not easy to get, and the biggest difference between the two is that Meng Fei knows how to respect others at all times and leave room for them, while Le Jia is conceited and stubborn and sees himself as different.
The rule of survival in the entertainment industry is not to be "good at complaining and straightforward", but to know how to stay humble and low-key, and not hesitate to express yourself when you should be. Arrogant people can never get the most benefit.
