Wang Tairui was born in a well-off family in Weifang, Shandong. Wang Tairui lived a carefree life since his parents were engaged in machine tool business.

In the year of college entrance examination, Wang Tairui missed out on the university. Parents hoped that his son would follow in his father's footsteps and become a businessman, but Wang Tairui, who had a musical dream, didn't want to be imprisoned by fame and fortune.

He wanted to be a singer like Michael Jackson, so he came to Beijing alone with 500 yuan to start drifting north.

Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Wang Tairui, who has just arrived in Beijing, has no background and major, and can't find a teacher who is willing to take him in. His 500 yuan will soon bottom out.

But he had to bite the bullet and go home and ask his father for money. After saving enough money, he went to Beijing to seek his dream. After repeated several times, his father was annoyed and once gave him 1800 yuan, leaving a sentence: "You are not young, this is the last time."

Stepping into this familiar land again, Wang Tairui found a job to make a living in an advertising company and buried his music dream in his heart. Until a man named Sean showed up.

In 2005, Wang Tairui received an advertisement, but he urgently needed an advertising director. Under the introduction of a friend, I met Sean, the advertising director 1 1 year younger than him.

Sean's childhood dream was to be a painter. After graduating from high school, Sean went to Beijing with dreams and applied for the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Xiao Yang, who failed in the first year, continued to apply for the exam in the second year, and finally got in this time.

Later, he was admitted to the Fine Arts Department of Beijing Film Academy to study art advertising design. Sean gave full play to his talent as a director during his college years, received many advertisements and gained a lot of resources, and soon became famous in this circle.

Wang Terry and Sean first met in the dining hall of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and a simple meal soon warmed them up.

They have many common hobbies, like singing, and are engaged in the advertising industry. It's just that Wang Terry is a musician and Xiao Yang wants to be a director.

After this advertising cooperation, by going up one flight of stairs, a friend of the two, often discussed some things about music and advertising.

One day, Wang Tairui wrote a song called "Blessing Your Dear", which is a Japanese folk song. After some discussion, the two made a 6-minute MV Memoirs of a Geisha with their respective contributions of 1 10,000 yuan.

"Bless Your Darling" is the theme song of this MV, sung by Wang Tairui, who calls himself "Chopsticks Brother".

This MV caused a sensation on the Internet as soon as it was released. The two also won the special prize of Sina Podcast in one fell swoop and won a prize of 65,438+10,000 yuan. Since then, the group "Chopsticks Brothers" has been formally established.

The first time they tried the water, they gained a lot and strengthened their musical dreams.

20 10 was invited to participate in the project "1 1 Youth Series". At that time, just after Michael Jackson's death, they created old boys to commemorate Michael Jackson.

Sean is the director and Wang Terry is in charge of the lyrics. They sang the song together. Because of limited funds, the actors asked friends to play.

At the time of filming this film, Wang Terry's father was diagnosed with lymphoma. He took his father to Beijing to see a doctor, and the crew ran on both sides of the hospital, so that this short film was filmed for three months.

During the filming, my father died of illness.

After the storm, I will see a rainbow. After three months of pain, the film was finally finished. After the online broadcast of old boys, the number of hits exceeded 10 million in a week, which caused a sensation in the film and television circle.

Old boys's success made the name "Chopsticks Brothers" popular all over the country.

After that, the two created two microfilms, Winner and Father, which also achieved good results and won awards.

Dissatisfied with the present situation, the two decided to move to the big screen, so they filmed "old boys Crossing the River Raptors".

This movie didn't continue the popularity of the micro-movie old boys, but it is gratifying that the theme song Little Apple of this movie became a popular song of that year.

In 20 15, we also boarded the CCTV Spring Festival Evening together and sang songs with Phoenix Legend, which reached the peak of our career.

But at this time, the two men had differences in their career development direction, and Wang Terry hoped to continue to pursue his musical dream.

"I have some experience now and accumulated some resources. I hope that as a bridge, it can help people with musical dreams and talents realize their dreams. "

After making several films, Sean realized the fun of being an actor, and he wanted to develop as an actor.

"If I can persist in doing interesting things all my life like Miyazaki Hayao, I will be famous no matter whether I have money or not in the future. If I can do this all my life, I will not live in vain. "

So the two are glowing in different fields.

Sean starred in the first and second films of Detective Chinatown in Chen Sicheng, and then starred in the movie Lover with Yan Ni. A movie "Sheep without Shepherd" made many directors see Sean's potential, and Sean's value soared.

Being an actor is not enough. Sean also directed and starred in the movie "Weather Pre-explosion", and his career was out of control.

Wang Terry, on the other hand, took part in variety shows by accident, and spent the rest of his time focusing on his favorite music, which is why he gradually disappeared.

Now the number of fans in Weibo shows that they are very different. Sean has reached 4.54 million fans, while Wang Terry has only 620,000 fans.

Now chopsticks brothers debut 13 years, and they were once dismissed. Xiao Yang once explained this statement;

"The two of us are different professions. He was a musician and later became an actor. I changed from a director to an actor. This is a different profession, and I often fight alone. Including at work, our division of labor is very clear. "

Although Xiao Yang's popularity is higher than Wang Terry's now, his essence has not changed, and he is still old boys who pursues dreams with Wang Terry.
