With the coming of midsummer, the summer movie files are also hot, and hundreds of new films will win their own games. Under the long-overdue "Shen Ma" combination, they finally return with the film "Catch the Doll".
By 12: 00 on July 21st, the box office of Catching Dolls had exceeded 1.4 billion.
With the strong help of this film, Shen Teng has surpassed Jason Wu to become the champion of male leading role in Chinese film. And Mary also rode the dust, becoming the first actress in China’s film history to break through 20 billion at the box office.
Meeting each other from nobody to the top is a 19-year-old friendship between Shen Teng and Mary, and it is also a witness that they are moving towards days of our lives hand in hand from the bottom of their destiny.
"Mary is my card."
Ten years ago, in the movie goodbye mr. loser, Charlotte said to Ma Dongmei, "I’ll tell you Ma Dongmei, and I’ll pay you back all the romance I owe you."
Ma Dongmei also appealed to Charlotte: "At that time, I want you to send me a room full of sunflowers."
Ten years later, Shen Teng gave more than 3,000 sunflowers to Mary at the scene of "Catch the Doll", which fulfilled the warm promise in the play.
Shen Teng said with great emotion: "From the 14-year" goodbye mr. loser "to the 24-year-old film, we have gone through the tenth year, and it is very rare to get more and more tacit understanding."
For Shen Teng, the road of "cultivating immortals" for ten years is full of valleys and valleys, and Mary is his "supporter", who can always take care of himself.
Many years ago, when Shen Teng didn’t shine on the big screen, and when "Mahua FunAge" didn’t move from the crowded East Cotton Hutong in Beijing to the crowded Haidian Theater, Shen Teng worked as a director for a while.
Accustomed to the behind-the-scenes work, sometimes when performing on the stage, he will suddenly forget his words. In a hurry, he will improvise and often catch the actors on the same stage off guard.
It was not until the appearance of Mary that many "chaos" made in Shen Teng were "revitalized".
For example, in the filming scene of "Catch the Doll", Shen Teng was impassioned and imagined the future with his wife Chunlan played by Mary, but because of a slip of the tongue, everyone present could not help laughing:
"Tomorrow, I will change Niu Niu’s account and call it George Macartney British consul. In the future, I will inherit my’ effusion’!"
Mary was almost gone at that time. After hearing that something was wrong, he quickly "took over": "Who wants your stupid thing! What a broken name! "
Shen Teng saw that Mary was "not playing by common sense" and realized that he might have said something wrong. I didn’t know my lines were "off course" until I asked the staff. However, due to Mary’s quick wits, "turning decay into magic" brought unexpected comedy effect to the film.
The most dangerous one was on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Evening in 2014. If it weren’t for Mary’s on-the-spot emergency, I’m afraid the essay "Help or Not" would turn into a stage accident.
After Shen Teng deliberately fell, according to the development of the script, Mary explained to the police: "That’s not my bike!" Shen Teng wants to connect immediately: "Your wife’s bike, you didn’t pedal so fast!" "
But Shen Teng, who was supposed to take over the lines, was lying on the ground, immersed in the performance of "bluffing" and seemed to filter out the signal from his partner.
One side of Mary quickly realized that Shen Teng forgot to pick up the words! Immediately, she raised her tone and repeated her lines. Shen Tengcai over there reacted and took over the lines, which saved the day.
After the performance, Mary still had a lingering fear: "After stepping down, we wept bitterly. Really too nervous, too difficult. "
Many people envy the perfect tacit understanding between them, but they don’t know that this rare fit was honed by the combination of "Shen Ma" in the process of sharing joys and sorrows.
She was seen by him.
At the turn of the Millennium, Mary graduated from the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama.
Because there was no absolute appearance advantage, she couldn’t find a job for a time. When her classmates flourished on the big screen, she was dormant in the small theater for several years. At that time, she was not a comedian, and she acted in dramas such as cherry orchard and Master Architect.
The small theater especially tests the basic skills of actors, so she has her own strict standards for acting: "Maybe your expression and subtle things can’t be seen below, but the foot of the character you play has to take root, and even your standing posture determines the character."
When his family went bankrupt, Mary often went to other theaters to be a guest actor. For a while, she played Lu Ma in Thunderstorm, and she cried for 45 times in a row. She was addicted to the role: "As a result, the whole person was depressed and her face was gray-black."
At that time, Shen Teng had been a member of the Mahua FunAge for two years. Before that, the "Running Group" was rejected, and when he was filming a drama in the "Mahua FunAge" Drama Club, he also experienced a bleak audience and could not make ends meet.
One day in 2005, the "Mahua FunAge" team came to Mary’s small theater to watch a performance, including Shen Teng.
On the stage, Mary’s aura attracted Shen Teng: "This girl is very rare. Let her come to Mahua FunAge. She has potential."
He even thought to himself, "I have to cooperate with her one day."
At that time, Mary was also very yearning for the stage of "Mahua FunAge": "I have seen their plays, which are awesome, really awesome … If one day, I can play a small role on this stage, I feel happy."
This wish was soon realized in Mary’s infinite vision.
"A few days later, Mary came! When I came, I never left! "
"On the day I went to Mahua FunAge, I specially dressed myself up as a lady, put on a light makeup and carried a small bag."
Mary, who was so carefully dressed up, remembered in Shen Teng many years later: "She was actually dressed inappropriately that day."
When she first arrived in Mahua FunAge, Mary was the warm-up king of the party and the one who rushed to pay the bill. She wouldn’t let the "stalk" fall to the ground, and she was not angry or annoyed in the face of excessive jokes …
Everyone says that "Mary is a cheerful person", but in fact, due to her short appearance and career setbacks, she has to constantly fight against inferiority and sensitivity: when she was in Chinese opera, she was the monitor, almost the hardest one in her class. But when I went to run the crew, some people thought she was ugly and didn’t want to play with her.
A teacher said that her appearance was defective, her upper lip stood out from the crowd, and she looked like a monkey. She suggested that if she wanted to be an actress in the future, she’d better knock off four of her upper teeth and put a hoop on them.
Later, I went to make a movie and heard the staff talk behind me: "It must be because I am so ugly and can still be an actor!"
She was hit by growth all the way, but she never gave up on herself. Having the opportunity to enter "Mahua FunAge" is an opportunity for her to be born again.
She mingled with the team members, hoping that everyone could ignore her unattractive face and pay attention to her love for acting.
But her true face, only Shen Teng saw: "She didn’t behave so extroverted, but she just wanted to be a member of everyone."
Mr. Xu Zhuoyun, a historian, once talked about his wife, Sun Manli: "There must be a girl who can know people from outside, just like Bo Le Xiang Ma. She can see me on the other side, not me outside, and I can see this person."
For appreciate each other’s bosom friend, is it not so? She saw him surrounded by excitement and got a glimpse of him in the depths of loneliness, and he was the same for her.
Shen Teng saw Mary’s "ambition" and her sadness at the same time, so he decided to support this actress who he felt very special at first sight within his power.
At that time, Shen Teng didn’t expect that when he opened the door to a new world, a pair of "Wang-Fried Groups" in China’s comedy circle was born here.
A perfect combination of pearls and pearls.
Before she became famous, Mary had not established a sound psychological system. Sometimes she was afraid that she would become a burden to Shen Teng, but Shen Teng humorously comforted her: "I don’t have so many legs for you to drag."
After several years of cooperation, Mary did not live up to Shen Teng’s expectations, and achieved her status as the "queen of thousands of games" with excellent performances.
In 2007, Shen Teng directed and performed the stage play Crazy Stone, and invited Mary to join us.
It was a small role that couldn’t even get into the main creative list, but Mary readily agreed.
Mary’s comic talent suddenly came to light after a small experiment.
A year later, Shen Teng once again invited Mary to participate in his own New Year’s drama "Sweet and Salty Match". During the four-month performance cycle, this stage play was staged in the Grand Theatre for 60 times in a row, becoming the box office champion of the drama industry that year.
Two years later, they collaborated again on Earl of Wulong Mountain. Shen Teng was pleasantly surprised to find that, in the performance, no matter whether he forgot words frequently or made up words temporarily, Mary was able to connect with echo each other in a harmonious way every time. Therefore, the two people’s works bring out the best in each other, creating a box office record of "Count of Wulong Mountain" exceeding 100 million yuan, and this drama has thus become a miracle in the history of China drama.
However, what really made the "Shen Ma" group break the circle successfully and its popularity soared was the Spring Festival Evening skit —— Happiness Today 2, Help or Not, and Do What You Want.
Every sketch is full of baggage, with frequent golden sentences, and the two of them cooperate perfectly. The combination of "Shen Ma" has brought the most hearty laughter to the audience, and thus it is recognized as a "golden partner" that can replace Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan.
The more times she cooperated with Mary, the more she felt: "She is explosive and can master the rhythm".
In 2015, the stage play goodbye mr. loser was adapted into a movie of the same name and put on the big screen. This movie without any big-name actors’ blessing, take it.It made a box office of 1.441 billion yuan and became the dark horse of the "National Day File" film that year.
Knowing his own weakness, Shen Teng memorized his lines very hard every time before shooting, but when he turned on his computer, his brain was inexplicably short-circuited.
At that time, in order to give Shen Teng a clue, Mary simply pasted his lines on his face, which made Shen Teng’s pressure drop sharply, and finally successfully completed the task of characterization.
In the play, the conversation between him and his uncle has also become an explosive stalk that is still hot.
"madong? What winter plum? What plum is the horse? " It’s more like poking fun at Shen Teng’s brain "lost" occasionally.
After the "goodbye mr. loser" fire, Shen Teng and Mary naturally became the targets of media keen to interview.
However, everyone was surprised to find that Shen Teng, who seemed to be all-around, was actually slow and talkative, and cherished words like gold, while Mary became the one who handled it with ease and provoked the beam.
With Mary at his side, he doesn’t worry about the ice.
Mary, supported by Shen Teng, even directly indicated at the movie premiere that he would always stand silently behind him if necessary.
2015 is undoubtedly a landmark year for Shen Teng and Mary. A "goodbye mr. loser" made them both welcome their own highlights, while "The Joker" solidified the gag and hilarious "CP" in the audience’s mind.
When he participated in "The Happy Comedian", Shen Teng became an almost sleepless "madman" in order to create works.
"It’s normal not to sleep for dozens of hours. Later, the staff went crazy and put the black film of’ white plus black’ in the tea for me to drink, just to let me sleep."
He turned day and night upside down, and she accompanied him all the time: they created together, went on stage together, and made a comeback together.
In the end, Mary suffered from severe lack of sleep and excessive pressure, and his hair fell off a lot, even to the point of "ghost shaving".
When assisting in the performance, Mary should not only arouse full emotions to cooperate closely with him, but also take care of Shen Teng from time to time, including adjusting his lost headset in time.
That season, Shen Teng won the "king of comedy" in The Happy Comedian.
After the results were announced, they embraced excitedly and fought side by side until the song was sung and a toast was made.
"Shen Ma" combination, the best CP
In an interview, Mary revealed a person he had secretly liked:
"I will also meet the person I like, that is, I don’t know what love is, but I know that I am willing to play with him and like to be with him, but when I know it, I find it is too late, and people are already others!"
Many people guess that this person is Shen Teng!
Shen Teng also made no secret of his "preference" for Mary: it rained heavily in Beijing, and Ma Li’s family lost power, so Shen Teng could go through more than half of the city to light her up; Shen Teng took part in variety shows and was asked to tell a shortcoming of Mary when playing games, but he would rather be punished than say …
In Ace to Ace, there is a famous collection, which is called: Bashan Chu River is desolate, and Shen Teng will always choose Mary.
That year after the Spring Festival Gala, when Mary was out of control backstage, Shen Teng, who has always been eloquent and invincible in "hurting others", looked at Mary infinitely tenderly and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes.
In a program, Shen Teng was asked: "If you were in different times, different backgrounds or different places, you were not who you are now, and she was not who she is now, would you be together?"
It’s possible.
This kind of "confession" also made the anecdote of the two people once heated up.
Just when the public hoped that they could achieve good things, Shen Teng and Wang Qi ended their long-distance relationship and entered the marriage hall. Two years later, Mary also married Xu Wenhe.
The once unbreakable "Shen Ma" group quickly "untied" after the movie "heart for heaven". Their explanation is: "We are afraid that the audience will get tired of watching it, so we will temporarily separate."
As a result, in the Spring Festival Evening essay "A son-in-law and a half" headed by "Mahua FunAge" in 2017, Mary disappeared; In "The Richest Man in Xihong City" attended by all members of "Mahua FunAge", only Mary was missing; In "Ace to Ace" and the movie Hi, Mom in which Shen Teng participated, Shen Teng’s funny partner changed from Mary to Jia Ling.
In the days without Mary, Shen Teng became one of the "20 billion film emperors"; Mary turned into a fashionista, not only losing weight successfully, but also actively trying to transform.
Both of them are broadening their career and life dimensions, but there are always people who are not satisfied: "Shen Teng is tired of being funny without Mary; Mary, who left Shen Teng, seems to have lost his aura. "
That year, at the film announcement meeting of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Shen Teng bluntly asked the heroine: "I am very curious, what means did you use to get the director’s approval."
The scene of that day was once embarrassing. In order to further show his position, Shen Teng refused to stand with the leading actress.
This move is obviously for Mary. Previously, Mary was suddenly replaced before turning on the TV, so that all her previous efforts for the play were wasted.
In the Spring Festival Gala in 2020, Shen Teng and Mary reunited under the expectation of many people. At that time, Mary was pregnant. After the performance, Shen Teng said: "In 2020, Mary will be a mother for the first time. Both boys and girls wish her family happiness."
In 2022, they joined forces again in the sci-fi drama Moon Man. When Mary was filming on the set, Shen Teng was holding a cake and Chang Yuan was holding flowers, and they appeared in front of her with a smile on their faces.
Later, in the interview session of the film, Mary said with red eyes: "Thank you, my partner didn’t abandon me, and thank him for taking Mahua FunAge for so long."
Also in this year, Douban held the annual cp selection, and the "Shen Ma" group took a cliff-like lead with a high number of votes of 1.6w, beating Hao Shi in pairs, sports favorites Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin, and won the annual CP crown.
Even in the exclusive hyperbole of Shen Ma’s group, such words were left: "I hide the rose behind me and tell everyone that you and I are pure and spotless."
Some people say, "Friendship is love without a ring." Perhaps, they are more like acquired relatives.
In the Spring Festival Evening, there were more than 200 dramas, and in many movies, they jointly contributed a classic performance. The two people who are in perfect harmony have supported each other all the way and achieved each other, so the light that has been taken care of so far is still bright.
Go to the next "ten-year Covenant"
In the summer of 2024, Catch a Doll was released, and Shen Ma completed the ten-year contract in goodbye mr. loser.
During the interview, Shen Teng and Mary also talked about the new decade-
Mary said with emotion, "Ten years ago, no one knew us. Ten years later, we are standing here, and everyone is looking forward to it. I sincerely hope that I can play until I am old. I look forward to being able to play with my old partner when my body is particularly healthy. "

At first, Shen Teng said that he was under too much pressure and wanted to retire early. But when hearing Mary’s plan to play to 890, Shen Teng said that he could automatically extend it back for another ten years.
Someone once asked Shen Teng, "Mary said in the roadshow that it is acceptable to play mother and son with Teacher Shen. What role do you want to play with Sister Li in the next part?"
"She said mother and son, then I’ll play the enemy with her", and then added seriously, "As long as we can work happily together, it’s all good."
In Mr. Jin Yong’s novel "The Condor Heroes", Cheng Ying said with emotion: "Look, this white cloud has gathered and dispersed, dispersed and gathered, and life has been on and off."
