Speaking of Chen Peisi, many people will think of his classic works on CCTV Spring Evening.
In the early 1980s, Chen Peisi was widely loved by audiences for his "two sons" in the movie "Xizhao Street".
At the same time, Zhu Shimao became famous for "The Wrangler".
Two people with very different appearances and personalities were invited to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 1984 and starred in the sketch "Eating Noodles".
To this day, "Eating Noodles" is regarded as a "textbook performance without physical objects".

Chen Xiaoer, the "Dragon Set" actor played by Chen Peisi, finally got a shot of devouring noodles, but it became extremely difficult due to director Zhu Shimao's repeated comebacks.
When a few large bowls of noodles were eaten, Chen Xiaoer wanted to show that it was too difficult for him to devour it, and he was finally forced to flee.
Because "Eating Noodles" was the first sketch on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage, Chen Peisi was once named the "first person in the Spring Festival Gala sketch."
He is good at using exaggerated and rich body movements, with vivid expressions and language, to create comic characters one after another.
Some people say that to watch Chen Peisi's sketches, one must look at the screen and not just listen to the lines.
Because of his wonderful performance details, like a key, unlock the charm of comedy.
To this day, such sketches with outstanding styles are still outstanding when so many types of sketches emerge in endlessly.
For example, in the skit "Pepper Noodles", Chen Peisi used his body, expression and demeanor to make the audience laugh.
During the performance of eating wontons, there was obviously an empty bowl in front of him, but he performed hot hands, swallowed the hot wontons and spit them into the bowl, blowing and sucking.

"Police and Thieves" is also considered to be one of the comedy classics that are difficult to surpass. Chen Xiaoer, who played the role of a fake policeman, was outside to let the thief associates. He was eventually seen through by the real policeman and was brought to justice in the ridiculous sophistry. ; In the skit "Protagonist and Supporting Actor", the extra actor he played in order to become the protagonist of the Eight Route Army, stalked and played smart, but eventually fell back to the image of a "traitor" because of his image and habits.
On CCTV Spring Evening in 1998, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao starred in the sketch "The Prince and the Postman".
In the sketch, the noble prince was played around by the humble postman, and the audience laughed.
This is the tenth time Chen Peisi has appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage, and it is the last time so far.

At the beginning of 1999, China International Television Corporation, a subsidiary of CCTV, published 8 short CDs including "Eating Noodles" and "Making Movies" without authorization. Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao immediately sued for this infringement.
On December 6, 2001, the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court issued a public sentence on the case of actors Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao suing China International Television Corporation for infringing on the copyright of their skits and performers.
Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao received more than 330,000 yuan in infringement damages. The defendant will also publish a public apology to the plaintiff on the "China Television News" and stop publishing and distributing infringing products.
Although he won the lawsuit, Chen Peisi's cooperation with CCTV seems to have come to an end, even though his self-directed and self-acted TV series "A Big Family" was broadcast on CCTV in 2015.
But Chen Peisi has never been on the stage of CCTV programs.
In 2001, the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court made a verdict against Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao against China International Television Corporation for infringement of copyright use rights, the right to obtain remuneration, and the infringement of performers' rights.

After leaving CCTV, Chen Peisi devoted his energies to drama performance and comedy training. He once bluntly said in an interview with the media that the Spring Festival Gala shows too much attention, and it takes half a year to prepare a ten-minute short work every time he takes the stage. Great, not going up but liberating.
In 2012, Chen Peisi opened a comedy performance training class. In his opinion, the lives of ordinary people need comedy. This is also the motivation for him to insist on doing comedy.
Chen Peisi believes that comedy is an art that can make people laugh. “How can such an exquisite knowledge have no inherent laws, methods, and skills! Many people spend a lot of time exploring the doorway of comedy, but they still can’t The method, after more than 30 years of groping, I realized that it was only in the last few years that I found some doorways. It would be a shame not to spread it!"
Today, Chen Peisi, who is keen on comedy performances, has returned to the CCTV stage again and joined the variety show "Gold Medal Comedy Class".
According to CCTV, in the show, he will lead new comedians in immersive learning, tell the story behind the comedy, teach and train outstanding comedy inheritors, and pass on the comedy culture.
I hope this time, I can see Chen Peisi's wonderful performance again.
Are you looking forward to it?
