A few years ago, Shen Teng relied on the Spring Festival movies "Flying Life" and "Crazy Alien" to gain the title of "Mr. 10 Billion Box Office", and he was unrivaled for a while;
Today, the box office of his main works exceeds 18 billion, ranking first in the total box office list of Chinese actors' works, once again stunning everyone.
Note: The "main works" here refer to the cumulative box office of Shen Teng's starring works, namely "Charlotte's Troubles", "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "Crazy Alien", "Iron Fist of Shame", "Flying Life", "My Hometown and Me", and "Hello, Li Huanying".
From "Charlotte's Troubles" to "Hello, Li Huanying", the 42-year-old Shen Teng has made the leap from "Hao Jian" to "Good Cow" in less than 6 years.
Fame and fortune quickly piled up on the high platform, but Shen Teng always lay on it in a reclining position, with a three-point cold and seven-point casual smile on his face.
That, he said, was "nothing."
For Shen Teng, the current success is like the time travel experienced by Charlotte in the movie. There are so many unbelievable, unexpected, and unexpected things that make him who he is today.
Shen Teng's take-off is a bit "god".
"Welcome".
Regarding starring in "Hello, Li Huanying", Shen Teng admitted frankly that he really didn't plan to be the male number one at the beginning.
Earlier recorded a variety show, because "when I am older, I am easy to be moved", after hearing that Jia Ling was preparing a movie about her mother, he said: If you want, you can make a cameo.
Not long after that, Jia Ling found him, and the first thing she said was:
Brother, is it okay if you are asked to play a slightly more important role? ”
Shen Teng agreed, but only if he had to read the script. Jia Ling was very happy, and led people to revise the part of Shen Guanglin in the movie overnight.
After a few months, Shen Teng took a look and fell in.
Time is a knife to kill pigs
Like participating in "Hello, Li Huanying", Shen Teng is often crooked on the road of being an actor.
A few years ago, someone approached Shen Teng, hoping that he could tell inspirational stories along the way. He politely refused them one by one and said:
It's a big joke for me to tell it, because I'm not inspirational at all, and I haven't suffered at all. ”
In Shen Teng's memory, he has been loved by everyone since he was a child, because he is so good-looking.
Although Shen Teng's childhood photos are now related to "fat" and "wrinkles", he has always been confident in his appearance for Shen Teng himself.
In his eyes, his figure is close to perfection and has all the advantages of a man, but the fly in the ointment is the two tiger teeth. So he doesn't like to grin, and when he encounters happy things, he smiles slightly and is cold.
But I don't know why, the colder he gets, the more others want to laugh when they look at him.
When he was studying, his father advised him to go to the hospital to straighten his teeth, which he strongly opposed, on the grounds that "once Zhang Yimou came to me to act, it was not appropriate for me to wear braces".
Shen Teng has been poor since he was a child, and he will talk endlessly when he has the opportunity.
Picking up the teacher's words in class, hurting his classmates to relieve boredom after class, and singing a chorus in the class, he has to play a long note, for fear that others will not hear him sing out of tune.
Because of his broken mouth, Shen Teng was killed several times, he was blocked by the little hooligans at the base of the wall, and finally escaped death because of his good looks
If it weren't for your good looks, I would have beaten you up a long time ago. ”
is a handsome guy with a long mouth.
Shen Teng has heard these words since he was a child. I didn't hear it until I entered middle age, why?
Fortune. 
The young school grass Shen Teng
Middle-aged actor Shen Teng
"Clever.
Shen Teng said that he had come too smoothly along the way, and most of his success when he was young came from "cleverness".
When he was a student, Shen Teng's parents wanted him to be a scientist, but Shen Teng didn't want to do anything but "play".
In order to supervise his study, his mother sat at the desk every night to read with him, and as a result, he read a lesson for several days, and in the end, his mother would memorize it, and he still didn't remember a word.
In the northeastern dialect of his hometown, Shen Teng belongs to "the old cow ** - a complete calf"!
Seeing that he was about to take the exam, the second elder of the Shen family was very anxious. Sister Shen Na pondered for a few days and said to her family that she couldn't let her younger brother also go to the People's Liberation Army Art Academy where she studied.
The idea is good, but what is the best university to get into? The family was worried about Shen Teng's grades, but he was not anxious at all, and after only a few months of surprise study, he got a pretty good score in cultural classes.
Those who study seriously are not as smart as me. ”
Without much effort, Shen Teng was admitted to university.
Shen Teng (middle) in college
Undergraduate student with his neck on his back
Shen Teng was born in 1979, and after the reform and opening up, the Shen family became the first family to achieve financial freedom.
In this way, Shen Teng has no shortage of food and clothing since he was a child, he is a little proud, and he is used to walking with his head up
Looking at people through your nostrils? Have you never been beaten? ”
Sure enough, Shen Teng offended the entire dormitory on his first day in college.
Shen Teng's childhood photo In 1999, Shen Teng, a freshman, went to Beijing to study, but because the bed in the undergraduate dormitory was not well prepared, he was assigned to eat and live with the junior college students next door. When he first arrived, Shen Teng didn't know anything about the situation. When he checked in, he pushed open the door of the dormitory with a large bag and small rolls.
When asked by his junior college roommate what class he was from, he didn't even think to blurt out:
Are we different? Craned his neck: "All undergraduates." ”
Those who don't know are not guilty, except for Shen Teng.
That night, he was placed in a top bunk with the worst position by his roommate, and the fan above his head blew on him for the night, and he slept all night with a pillow towel.
His roommates were reluctant to talk to him, telling jokes and nagging to avoid him. At that time, Shen Teng was lying on the top bunk and listening secretly, thinking to himself: "What kind of things are you talking about, I must be better than you!" ”
Later, Shen Teng really became a full-time "joke teller".
Shen Teng starred in sitcom segments in the early days
Idol baggage
Talking about his past experience, Shen Teng said that he didn't have any success tips he wanted to share, because the first 30 years were confusing.
When he first entered college, Shen Teng was not interested in acting.
He loves face, coupled with the aura of "military art school grass", he always carries the burden of idols, and thinks that it is impossible to liberate his nature in this life.
"Shen Teng is always slipping in class, and Shen Teng is often educated by teachers. Mouthless, naughty and mischievous, no need to play clever ......He didn't know how to learn, but I don't know why, the acting class teacher took a fancy to a certain trait in him and named him to be the representative of the professional class.
It was from that moment that I fell in love with acting. ”
Shen Teng is quite "late-maturing" for acting, in his own words, "There is no direction at all, and only by living can I figure out my original intention." ”
In his opinion, the future box office of 10 billion yuan is like a visitor from outside the world to him, "I really didn't expect it at all."
Happy twist
On the road to becoming an actor, Shen Teng consciously experienced many things that sounded extremely unreliable, but actually happened.
For example, enter the matter of "happy twist".
In 2003, 24-year-old Shen Teng graduated from university. One day, a female classmate handed him a script and asked him if he wanted to play it together.
Shen Teng took it and saw that the comedy was still a newly established troupe, and he muttered a little in his heart. When he returned to the dormitory in the evening, he took out the script and read it, but only read two pages, and Shen Teng, who had a very high laugh, was amused:
Cow, this script is really awesome.
Happy Twist" Shen Teng (middle of the last row) This night, Shen Teng had a strong interest in "Happy Twist". A few days later, he and his classmates walked into the troupe to prepare for the entrance exam.
According to the character of the script, Shen Teng wants to play a drunk man. Before going on the stage, he bought a small bottle of liquor at the shop at the door, thinking that he really listened to it, saw it, and felt it, but he didn't say a word, unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank it in two sips
Good guy, I was getting drunk.
Shen Teng is a non-exam-type player, that is, he will drop the chain as soon as he enters the examination room. At that time, the starring roles of "Happy Twist" were He Jiong and Xie Na, Shen Teng originally felt that he must be "cannon fodder", but that day, with the strength of wine, he performed a sketch very presumptuously and unrestrainedly, and instantly conquered everyone in the audience. The examiner slapped his thigh and pointed to the stage for a compliment:
Good! That's great! The actor is in a very relaxed state! ”
Shen Teng, Xie Na, and He Jiong found Shen Teng on the second day of the Happy Twist drama rehearsal site, and they were ready to learn more about it before considering signing the contract.
At that time, several leaders entered the door, and when they raised their eyes, they saw Shen Teng sitting on the sofa, without even moving his buttocks, and said lightly: "Coming?" Have a seat. ”
The young man's unusual performance quickly attracted the attention of several directors: "How good an actor can dare to talk like this?!" ”
Relying on his unruly attitude, Shen Teng successfully signed a contract with "Happy Twist". In the future, talking about the reason, Shen Teng said:
I had just had hemorrhoid surgery that day, and I was paralyzed and comfortable. ”
A story related to Ning Hao
Speaking of Shen Teng, the most mentioned word by Happy Twist members is "lazy".
When the troupe was first established, some actors would occasionally go to the crew to interview for roles in order to make some extra money, which was commonly known as "running the group" in the industry.
Shen Teng is too lazy to move, he also loves face, and he doesn't want to be judged, so he never participates.
Once he accompanied his friend to "run the group", and when he met the director, his friend's ** was disgusted as too "artistic" and a bit contrived, and asked if there was a stronger breath of life? Shen Teng, who came to join in the fun, heard that he was excited, and took out a ** of the two of them getting drunk in KTV, grinning, and hooking shoulders in KTV from his mobile phone and handed it over.
When the director saw it, he suddenly shouted, "You're too lifed!" With a wave of his hand, he blasted the person away.
When he went out, Shen Teng was very aggrieved, turned his head and asked his friend: "Why is he still angry?" ”
Shen Teng's early performance works, and once Shen Teng fell in love with a role, he happily finished the play, but waited at home for a few days without news. He took the initiative to call the staff's ** and wanted to ask what the specific result was.
* The other party was silent for a long time, and said cautiously: "Brother, you see me say that (the filmmaker) thinks you are old, can you accept it?" ”
Putting aside the **, Shen Teng smiled - thank you so much, fortunately I didn't talk about acting skills.
After this battle, Shen Teng was completely disappointed with the movie. After that, Shen Teng didn't think about the "running group" anymore, and began to devote himself to the drama. Because he firmly believes that when he becomes a good actor, there will be a good script that will be sent to the door.
Coincidentally, many years after the failure of this interview, the same crew really found Shen Teng, and the director who missed him at that time was called Ning Hao, and the movie they later collaborated on was "Crazy Alien".
Shen Teng's "Crazy Alien": "Destroy, hurry up, tired!" ”
"There is no rush at all".
Like all the protagonists in the "counterattack" story, before becoming a big star, Shen Teng was also unknown.
At that time, he was busy in front of and behind the scenes of Happy Twist, but his salary always stayed at the minimum standard of "500 yuan for a show".
At that time, he directed the drama version of "Crazy Stone", but because no one watched it, he only acted a few times and then disappeared. After that, the troupe launched a series of dramas, and the reputation was not bad, but there were always "as many audiences as actors" in the theater
At the beginning of the establishment of "Happy Twist" choreographer Shen Teng Happy Twist, the performance venue was set up in Dongmian Hutong in Beijing. Due to the lack of parking nearby, there are always very few people at each performance. In the worst case, the theater with thousands of seats sold only 7 tickets. The big guys sat together and thought about it, the cost of a performance is tens of thousands of yuan, and instead of losing money in the performance, it is better to refund the ticket to "protect the principal".
So, on the day of the heavy snow in Beijing, Shen Teng and the other main creators stood in the snow, waiting for the only 7 audiences, while giving people a refund of the ticket money, and apologizing:
I'm sorry to let you run in vain, I'll reimburse you for the taxi fare. ”
Drama actors Shen Teng and Qu Ying continued for a long time, until the troupe moved the performance venue to the Haidian Theater, which has relatively convenient transportation and is more popular.
For 5 years, Shen Teng's life depended on his family. Seeing that the people who graduated with him back then filmed one after another and became famous, he was not in a hurry at all:
My family has never put pressure on me, so I don't want to do anything but act. ”
At that time, Shen Teng felt that it was good to be content and happy, but God said:
Don't worry, there's still to come.
Shen Teng made a cameo appearance in "A Family in the Northeast".
Hao Jian
Before the age of 30, Shen Teng had no goals. The only time I had an ideal was when I was a child, I saw that the policeman's uncle was very powerful in catching thieves, so I came up with the idea of becoming a people's public security. But because of the freedom to get used to it, the dream lasted only a few months before it vanished.
After growing up**, Shen Teng got a chance to wear a police uniform as an actor and played a criminal investigation technician in a TV series.
This year, Shen Teng was 28 years old, with a pointed chin, big eyes, and no folds on his face when he smiled.
In some ways, this may have been the closest he had come to serious literature, and since then, his stature, like his comedy path, has widened over time. **Ten Thousand Fans Incentive Plan In 2012, he became Hao Jian, a man who grew up on the audience's laughter.
That year, Harvin served as the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, and when discussing language programs, he suddenly thought of the well-known "Happy Twist" in Beijing at that time.
After that, she found Shen Teng, but because he was busy with drama performances at the time, she refused the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala. The following year, Harvin went again, and he agreed, and then he and the team wrote "Terminator of the Devil".
In order to make the sketch as funny as possible, Shen Teng and the team designed a lot of funny baggage in it. When reporting the performance, the Spring Festival Gala program team was amused, but when asked about the results, Harvin said:
It's interesting, but it's meaningless, think about it.
When comedy is put on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it becomes complicated.
For a long time, the trade-off between "meaning" and "baggage" has troubled everyone in Happy Twist, and seeing that the sketch is about to be "killed", everyone finally learned to balance in compromise.
So the sketch "Today's Happiness" was born, and Hao Jian, who studied "human epidermal dirt", was also born.
Shen Teng "Hao Jian" "Today's Happiness" Chinese New Year's Eve 2012, Shen Teng appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, nervous, apprehensive, and uneasy ......A lot of emotions limited his performance, "in fact, he was quite stiff", but I didn't expect the audience to like it.
After the Spring Festival Gala, Shen Teng's girlfriend's ** was almost blown up, and everyone said:
Your boyfriend is finally out of the picture! It's the Spring Festival Gala! It looks so tall, it has to be 1.9 meters, right? ”
The girlfriend replied: "That's Allen, I recognized the wrong person." ”
Embarrassing "Hao Jian".
Although he was mistaken by his girlfriend's friend, on other occasions, "Hao Jian" is already a household name.
During that time, Shen Teng would often meet some enthusiastic fans to greet him, ...... when tying his shoes, rubbing in the bath, and taking a saunaHe can meet "acquaintances" on any occasion, and then patiently explain when the other party calls himself "Teacher Hao".
Hello, I'm Shen Teng. ”
The gas bag that chased the BMW with a broken self-confidence car, the sycophant who can play table tennis in "What He Likes", and the lobby manager ...... in "Today's Happiness 2".
He gradually became the stand-in for "Hao Jian", although he also tried to remove this label, but he would be "beaten back to his original form" whenever he encountered the Spring Festival Gala, but he was unwilling to accompany Hao Jian to old age for the rest of his life.
In 2015, Shen Teng participated in the variety show "Happy Comedian", thinking that he was going to "win", but he didn't think about it, but he became a "boiling eagle".
When recording the show, Shen Teng needed to continuously output the burden of jokes, "It's normal to not sleep for dozens of hours, but after staying up, the staff went crazy and put the black pieces of white and black into the tea for me to drink, just to let me sleep."
Ma Li, who was partnering with him at the time, experienced the embarrassment of "ghost shaving his head" because of excessive pressure, Shen Teng told this as a joke, but within a few days, he was also bald!
The process of creating a comedy is very painful, but I can't help it, I still have to work. ”
Painful and happy all the way, Shen Teng and the Happy Twist team reached the finals.
On the eve of the championship performance, Shen Teng struggled all night, and finally decided to "change blood" for all the sketches that had been prepared - delete all the lines and perform a mime tribute to Chaplin.
Until he came to power, Shen Teng was holding the "determination to die".
Can the audience understand it?
Is it acceptable to the audience?
Will the baggage of not using words ring?
Doubts fell in front of Shen Teng one after another, he didn't know what kind of sound these question marks would bring when the curtain opened and the stage lights turned on, but the reality replied that it was all applause.
On this night, "Shen Teng" replaced "Hao Jian" and became famous.
"Ma What's the Plum? ”
After winning the championship of "Happy Comedian", Shen Teng did not dare to rest, and went to shoot the movie "Charlotte Troubles" non-stop.
He played Xia Luo, because Ma Dongmei was very troubled.
In the movie, Charlotte, played by Shen Teng, accidentally travels back to his high school days.
Before the crossing, he was tired of his wife Ma Dongmei (played by Ma Li) being unchanged, and he was full of unwillingness to miss the school flower Qiuya;
After crossing over, he got everything, beauty, money, fame and fortune, but after experiencing ups and downs and betrayal from the people around him, he began to regret that he couldn't cherish Ma Dongmei, who truly loved him.
In the film, the woman named Ma Dongmei always seems to make Xia Luo flustered, but in real life, Ma Li is the one who can always "carry out" Shen Teng.
On the road to becoming a comedian, Shen Teng encountered many accidents, but cooperating with Ma Li was "premeditated".
In 2005, Ma Li fell in love with a drama of Happy Twist, and she didn't feel tired of watching 4 shows in a row. At that time, she thought that it would be good if she had a chance to join this team, but she received an invitation from "Twist" the next day.
It was the first time Ma Li walked into Happy Twist, and in order to show respect, she also changed into a dress and put on light makeup.
In the rehearsal hall, Ma Li met her future partner, and she wanted to introduce herself solemnly, but before she could open her mouth, she heard someone shouting behind her:
Four twos! King fried! ”
Ma Li turned around when she heard the sound and saw Shen Teng, still holding a playing card in her hand.
In Ma Li's impression, this was the first time she saw Shen Teng, which was extremely unreliable. At that time, she didn't know that it was this extremely sassy person in front of her who paved the way for her to enter the happy twist.
After graduating from Chinese opera, Ma Li worked in a small theater for a while. At that time, her family had just gone bankrupt, and in order to earn more money, she often went to other theaters as a guest actor.
One day, Ma Li performed on stage, Shen Teng was an audience offstage, he felt that this girl was rare, and heard that she was short of money, so he found a role for her in the drama directed by himself, and began to cooperate for more than ten years.
Shen Teng has dyslexia, he reads the next sentence after reading the script, forgets the previous sentence, can't remember the lines, and sometimes simply "breaks" and makes up the lines on the stage. Every time she encounters this situation, others panic, and Ma Li can only go on top.
One is responsible for forgetting, the other is responsible for picking up, and the two of them went all the way from "twist" to "Spring Festival Gala", and later to the crew.
During the filming of "Charlotte's Troubles", Shen Teng would work hard to memorize his lines every time before the official start of filming, but as soon as he turned on the camera, his brain would still go blank:
"Ma What's the Plum? Ma Dong what? What winter plum? "This happens almost every day.
Later, in order to give Shen Teng a prompt, Ma Li simply pasted the lines on her face, and the lines whose whereabouts were unknown were finally recovered.
The movie "Charlotte's Troubles".
Charlotte's lines were pasted on the other side of Ma Dongmei's face
Crazy Charlotte
In an interview, Shen Teng once said such a story about the filming of "Charlotte's Troubles":
In the appearance of "That Sister" in the film, the director originally wanted Na Ying to come and make a cameo. The screenwriters and directors of the movie, Yan Fei and Peng Damo, found Na Ying, and the other party asked them how much they estimated the movie would sell?
They were quite confident, thought about it and said:
2 billion. Na Ying didn't answer, waved her hand, and pushed the script back. Shen Teng said, "At that time, people probably thought we were crazy."
It wasn't long after that, on the 2015 National Day, that "Charlotte's Troubles" gained 144.1 billion box office.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it at all. Just like Charlotte after crossing over in the movie, Shen Teng has taken off since then.
The movie "Charlotte's Troubles" "That Sister".
Xia Luo is not worried, Shen Teng is very worried
Talking about his 2015 again, Shen Teng said that he just "made some money", "was relatively successful", and "secretly enjoyed himself". But just like the former "Hao Jian", "Charlotte" also made him happy and worried.
Shen Teng said frankly that after that, many of what can be called "once-in-a-lifetime opportunities" came to him, and the bigwigs threw money in front of his eyes and only asked him to play a role.
For these, Shen Teng turned a blind eye, not that he didn't need it, but that he didn't need it.
It's easy to be satisfied with the status quo, and I never wanted to be famous. ”
Wanting to go in the right direction, I can't consume myself. ”
He doesn't have much pursuit of fame and fortune, and if he does what he is doing well, he is lucky, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't.
Shen Teng said that unscrupulous means are actually very tiring.
Shen Teng's choice
No one would have expected that after "Charlotte's Troubles" exploded, Shen Teng pressed the pause button for himself. He didn't star in movies anymore because he never came across a script that he thought was good.
For almost a year, Shen Teng was looking for it, and finally set his sights on "Flying Life", "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Crazy Alien".
During the filming of these movies, Shen Teng's hip joint was hydrops, and when it was serious, he couldn't move anywhere except his mouth. The doctor said that what he needed most was recuperation, and he looked at the work schedule, and finally decided to "finish" and treat the disease later.
After the movie was released, Shen Teng talked about these as jokes lightly, he didn't think it was a thing worth publicizing, but when asked if he was only lucky to come this way, he said:
I actually worked hard, and I only took the time to go to the hospital when I was sick. ”
Shen Teng is a bit of a god
Before his mother was hospitalized, Shen Teng went to the hospital to visit her. On the way home, he rode a bicycle, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his head, so he rode the bike into the isolated green belt and almost fell into his brain.
Later, when it came to this, Shen Teng said: "Except for business, I am basically a fool. ”
Shen Teng imitated Faye Wong Therefore, Shen Teng has never felt that he is an entertaining person, such as——
Although he owes his mouth, he never takes the initiative to communicate with unfamiliar people. The liveliness on stage is all an illusion, and in life he actually prefers to be a quiet thinker - because he has not gone out for a long time, he is seriously deficient in calcium, and now he has osteoporosis.
When promoting "Charlotte's Troubles", Shen Teng always found members of Happy Twist to accompany him when he participated in the show, firstly to help the movie, and secondly, because he was really ashamed to participate in those highly entertaining programs.
This is Twist's first film, and I actually made a lot of sacrifices. ”
Hidden behind "Hao Jian", "Xia Luo", and "Shen Guanglin", Shen Teng is actually very mysterious.
He is occasionally stubborn, but he is willing to compromise for the sake of the movie;
He is often lazy, but he can also be unusually diligent in his work;
He seemed to have no words, but every joke he uttered was just right;
He seems to have been entertaining the public, but in fact, he has a tenacious balance between "entertainment" and "thinking".
He said: No matter how casual a person encounters something really good, he will cling to it, and he has to be responsible for himself and others. ”
The so-called luck is nothing more than a refusal to describe the effort as deliberate and tragic.
Whether it's Shen Teng, you or me, the process that a person goes through and the end point that can be reached depends partly on hard work, and the rest on life.
In this movie called life, there are too many stories, unfinished and unfinished. Regardless of whether this movie is a comedy or a tragedy, it is better to face the difficulties of life with a hippie smile.
Just like Shen Teng.
