"Hammer 40! Sledgehammer 80! ”
This line in the Spring Festival Gala sketch more than ten years ago is still popular today, and has even become a "joint code" for netizens.
And Huang Hong, who said this line, appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala 24 times before and after, bringing joy to everyone.
At that time, he was in the limelight, and even Zhao Benshan had to bow down.
However, suddenly one day, the news of "Huang Hong's dismissal" came overwhelmingly.
, an actor who is popular all over the country, suddenly disappeared from the screen.
What happened to him?
Huang Hong was born in Harbin in 1960.
Maybe it's because of the humor engraved in the genes of Northeast people, or maybe it's because of the father of a well-known Shandong Kuaishu artist, Huang Hong's humor seems to be a kind of talent that comes with it.
Huang Hong's father was very strict with him, and as long as he didn't behave well, he would be beaten by his father. But because of this, Huang Hong's academic performance has always been among the best.
When Huang Hong was 13 years old, the Shenyang Art Troupe came to Harbin to recruit students, and he decided to give it a try. Because he had studied Kuaishu before, he successfully passed the assessment and became a literary soldier.
After entering the army, Huang Hong did not relax himself, he studied hard, participated in various activities, and at the same time, began to try to create sketches.
In the second year of the army, Huang Hong wrote his first sketch "Uncle Jiang Pig Farm". Although the response was mediocre, it was already a remarkable achievement for a 14-year-old.
The troops thought that Huang Hong was a malleable talent, so they sent him to the grassroots troops for training. There, Huang Hong, who trained hard, was awarded a third-class meritorious service, but he did not stop moving forward because of this.
So, at the age of 22, he decided to go to university in Shenyang to continue his studies. Five years later, he chose to study in military arts, hoping to further improve his artistic level.
In the first year of military art study, Huang Hong took his own sketch "Selling Wall Calendars" on the stage of the Liaoning Spring Festival Gala. His performance was met with warm applause and applause from the audience.
Huang Hong did not stop there, he began to try to contact the Spring Festival Gala program team, hoping to appear on a bigger stage. Although he was rejected at first, he did not give up easily.
After a year of hard work, Huang Hong once again appeared on the stage of the Liaoning Spring Festival Gala with the sketch "Recruitment". This time, his performance was even better, one person played the triangle, and one of them was a female role, which opened the audience's eyes.
This performance has been well received by industry insiders, and it also made the director of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala see his talent.
Finally, in 1989, Huang Hong finally appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala with the rearranged sketch "Recruitment".
Immediately afterwards, his cooperation with Song Dandan's "Super Life Guerrilla" was an instant hit and became popular all over the country, establishing his status in the Spring Festival Gala and even the entire sketch industry.
However, all this that Huang Hong obtained has a close relationship with the woman behind him.
In 1986, Huang Hong met Duan Xiaojie, who worked at the Shenyang Art Museum.
When my friends saw that they were all single, they matched them together. Soon after, they fell in love, and three years later, they decided to get married and become husband and wife.
Duan Xiaojie is very supportive of Huang Hong's career, and she will assist Huang Hong in writing the script. When Huang Hong was busy with work, she took on the responsibility of taking care of the family, so that Huang Hong had no worries.
With their cooperation, the sketch "Superborn Guerrilla" was born. This sketch won the championship in the national competition, allowing Huang Hong to be invited to the Spring Festival Gala again.
At that time, Huang Hong and Song Dandan also became good friends and chatted very well, so Huang Hong invited Song Dandan to perform "Super Guerrilla" at the Spring Festival Gala together.
This show made Huang Hong and Song Dandan an instant hit, and they became frequent guests for the Spring Festival Gala. Since 1989, Huang Hong has been on the Spring Festival Gala 24 times, and together with Song Dandan, he has left many classic works on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and everyone thinks that they are the most tacit "partners".
However, there is also a day when the "* partner" separates.
In 1999, Zhao Benshan extended an olive branch to Song Dandan, it seems that Song Dandan gave up his old partner Huang Hong and turned his head to choose Zhao Benshan, but in fact, as early as 1992, Song Dandan didn't want to act in sketches anymore.
Compared with sketches, Song Dandan prefers drama and hopes that he will achieve something in the drama industry.
But because she was so famous for acting in sketches, the audience always laughed when they saw her, which affected her performance in the drama. Therefore, Song Dandan temporarily left the stage of the Spring Festival Gala from 1993 to 1997.
Huang Hong also tried to find other partners in the days when Song Dandan was missing, but there was always a little bit of taste. So in 1998, he found Song Dandan again, hoping to cooperate again. This time they rehearsed the sketch "Coming Home", but unfortunately the response was mediocre.
In the Spring Festival Gala of the second year, they collaborated again on the sketch "Cheer Up", but unfortunately, this time even the cooperation was not completed. So, Song Dandan took over the olive branch of Zhao Benshan and collaborated with him in the sketch "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow", and achieved great success.
After this time, the sketches created and performed by Huang Hong began to go downhill.
In 2012, Huang Hong officially bid farewell to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
He did not retire, but went to Bayi Film Studio as the director. Due to the production and directing of many film and television works, Huang Hong's workload has increased sharply, and he has no time to take care of the creation of Spring Festival Gala sketches, so he decided to say goodbye to the Spring Festival Gala stage completely.
However, Huang Hong in the past few years seems to have been a little bit of good luck.
Huang Hong, who thought that he could concentrate on the development of the film and television field, did not expect to be hit hard again and again. In 2014, Huang Hong personally wrote the script of the movie "Tianhe" and invited many first-line actors to participate, but after the release, the box office was dismal.
There are more and more voices appearing in Huang Hong's ears, either saying that he "chose the wrong path", or that he "has exhausted his talents".
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Huang Hong, who values word of mouth. But the house leak happened to rain overnight, and an even bigger blow was coming to him.
In March 2015, Huang Hong was dismissed from the post of director of Bayi Film Studio.
For a while, news, gossip, and even rumors were flying all over the sky.
A neighbor broke the news: "Several people with straight faces rushed into Huang Hong's house, and after talking to him, they took him away!" ”
Some netizens revealed the "inside story": "Huang Hong bribed the leaders of Bayi Factory by more than 20 million yuan to become the factory director, so he will be arrested!" ”
However, in the face of these rumors that slandered him, Huang Hong just said lightly, "It's inconvenient to be interviewed." ”
Now, let those gossips spread even more unscrupulously. Until Bayi Factory officially responded: Huang Hong did not have the so-called "bribery of leaders", he was temporarily deployed, so he was just transferred from his post normally.
At this point, how many people really care about the truth of the matter?
But Huang Hong really faded out of everyone's field of vision.
In fact, it can be said that Huang Hong, who retreated into the background, really started his own artistic creation.
In 2017, he starred in "Blood Wolf Dog", which won the silver medal in the Chinese film unit of the 41st Montreal International Film Festival, becoming a benchmark for pure animal films in China.
In 2019, he served as the director to shoot the family story film "Everything Like You" about "pension, filial piety, and respect for the elderly", which received wide acclaim as soon as it was released and received a score of 7 on DoubanA good score of 7.
He was once refreshed on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, but now he is full of gray hair, and the traces of time are ruthlessly engraved on his face.
He is indeed old, and the years behind those shots are the grinding of time for him.
However, his professionalism and dedication to creation have remained the same and have never changed.
Time flies, and many artists of the older generation have gradually faded out of the stage, and some have even left us.
Thankfully, Huang Hong, while enjoying his own life, still occasionally uses his works to greet the audience with warmth, which is undoubtedly a comfort.
Whenever we revisit Huang Hong's past works, we can't help but sigh at the passage of time and the change of years.
Perhaps, what we really care about is not Huang Hong's current living state, but the deep nostalgia and emotion for the end of that era. Memories of the Spring Festival Gala
