Recently, the entertainment industry has undergone a major reshuffle. After years of silence, Mother Rong has once again entered the public eye. Some people ridiculed, "After many years, Mother Rong has finally gotten her name right."
Ever the fear of being dominated by Mother Rong? Teacher Li Mingqi , who plays Mother Rong, is also troubled by this role. In the years when the TV series was popular, she experienced being scolded out of the street and refused to get in the car.
This also explains from the side: sometimes the acting is too good, but also a burden. In the entertainment circle, not only Li Mingqi but also Li Xuejian are cast aside in real life because of the success in shaping the villain.
Li Xuejian once told such a story. After the 98 version of " Water Margin" was broadcast, he was afraid to return to his hometown because the villagers told him, "You brought all the heroes into the ditch. Beat you to death"
Whether this sentence is sincere or a joke, we don't know, but it is certain that the person who said this sentence must have been too deeply into the drama.
If you have watched Li Xuejian's play, you must have such a strong sense of substitution.
In "Farewell My Concubine", people commented on Cheng Dieyi , "If you are not crazy, you will not survive." This sentence also applies to Li Xue's fitness. Crazy for drama, is the best footnote in his life.
01
Li Xuejian grew up in a difficult environment.
In 1954, he was born in Heze, Shandong. At the age of 11, Li Xuejian's family suffered an accident. He left his hometown with his parents and went to Guizhou thousands of miles away.
In an unfamiliar place, the family leads a poor life. Children from poor families were in charge early, and when Li Xuejian was very young, she learned to reduce the burden on her family. At that time, he often swam across a wide river with a group of friends and went to the power plant opposite to pick up cinders to subsidize his family.
Because of poverty, when Li Xuejian walks on the road, he is often greeted by others. These contempt have become a thorn in his heart.
During those difficult days, Li Xuejian became obsessed with the performance of the propaganda team. How obsessed is it? Every time there was a performance, Li Xuejian would put aside what was in his hands and dash over to watch. That was Li Xuejian's only comfort in those dark days.
Li Xuejian likes to watch the performance of the publicity team. In addition to the wonderful performance, there is another important reason-the publicity team is loved by others. That is something he can't reach. It was also at that time that a wish arose in his heart-he wanted to join the propaganda team, and he had to stand on the star-studded stage and be respected by others.
02
When Li Xuejian was in junior high school, his dreams were reflected in reality, and he became a member of the school's publicity team as he wished. At that time, he was young and all he learned was a little bit of fur. In 1973, 19-year-old Li Xuejian went to Yunnan to join the army and became the backbone of the army's literature and art. Four years later, he was admitted to the Kongzheng Repertory Troupe , which was his true exposure to drama.
But this is the beginning, not so good. At that time, he joined the group together with Pu Cunxin and Wang Xueqi .Compared with others, Li Xuejian suffered a big loss in appearance. In current popular words, he has no protagonist face at all.
In those years, Li Xuejian took on some long-form roles, and when he was most embarrassed, there was no play to play. This gave Li Xuejian a serious sense of crisis. He began to clean up desperately, hoping that the leader would see that he was still useful and don't fire him.
At the same time, Li Xuejian did not let go of any chance of "being seen". In 1980, Kongzheng Repertory Troupe wanted to film " September 13th Incident ", and Li Xuejian offered himself to play Lin Biao.
Even at the beginning, he was clearly told that he was a substitute, and he did not slack off.
In order to play this role well, Li Xuejian almost forgot to sleep and eat. Pu Cunxin, who was in the same bedroom, recalled that he did not dare to return to the house at that time, for fear of disturbing Li Xuejian's feeling of looking for Lin Biao. Wang Xueqi said that at that time Li Xuejian's room was covered with photos of Lin Biao, and he had to follow Lin Biao's posture even when he walked.
Kung fu pays off. Li Xuejian's efforts and acting skills were seen by the leader, and the leader decided that he was the only actor. Later, with Lin Biao's role, Li Xuejian won the highest award of Chinese drama " plum blossom award ".
There is no way to go in vain in life, every step counts. Since then, Li Xuejian's life has taken a turn for the better, getting wider and wider.
03
In the year when Lin Biao was played, Li Xuejian was 26 years old. He won a drama and opened up Li Xuejian's popularity. But what really made him famous is the TV series " eager " 10 years later.
1989, Lu Xiaowei began to prepare for the TV series "Desire". His father and Li Xuejian are in the old days. His father told him that Li Xuejian's experience and age are exactly the same as Song Dacheng , and he is the best candidate to play Song Dacheng.
Before going to visit Li Xuejian, Lu Xiaowei was very nervous, because Song Dacheng was only a supporting role in the original script, and Li Xuejian at that time already held the Plum Blossom Award. Can anyone see it?
With the mentality of giving it a try, Lu Xiaowei found Li Xuejian. After Li Xuejian finished reading the script, he decided to act. He also put aside his "ruthlessness" and said, "I will create a character that I have never had before."
Facts have proved that Li Xuejian did it. Song Dacheng's kindness and simplicity touched the hearts of every audience. At that time, the street and alleys even popularized the phrase "marry someone when you marry Song Dacheng".
How popular was "Desire" that year? It is not too much to say that the alleys are empty and there are no people on the streets, and even the crime rate has been reduced.
With Song Dacheng’s east wind, Li Xuejian became completely popular. Everywhere he went, people rushed to sign and take photos. He also won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor and Feitian Award for Best Actor in Match.
"Desire" was broadcast in 1990, and that year, Li Xuejian's other film "Jiao Yulu" was released. In order to fit the prototype Jiao Yulu's thin body shape, Li Xuejian ate boiled vegetables for a month and lost more than 20 catties.
Later, this movie sold 130 million box office at a cost of 1.3 million, becoming a well-deserved box office myth. With this role, Li Xuejian won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Male Lead that year.
When accepting the award, he said something like this, "Both suffering and tiredness have been suffered by the good Jiao Yulu, and the fame and fortune have been given to the stupid boy Li Xuejian."
The implication is that those who make contributions should be rewarded, not themselves. In my opinion, this is a rare fear of an actor.
04
From Song Dacheng to Jiao Yulu,In this way, Li Xuejian, with a good face, acted as a good person all the way. Outside the play, the audience also loved him because of the role filter.
But who ever thought that in 1998, the good old man Li Xuejian became the "enemy of the whole people", and this "great change" occurred only because he played Song Jiang in "Water Margin".
When the director asked Li Xuejian to play Song Jiang, he refused. He knew too well that Song Jiang was a "surrender", and the audience was most disgusted with such a role. He played too well and would be scolded to death.
In the end, Li Xuejian decided to take this play because he felt that the play was very real. As an actor, he is obliged to explain a masterpiece to the audience.
We all know the later story. In 1998, "Water Margin" was broadcast, and there was nothing left. The drama was on fire, and Li Xuejian was expected to be scolded miserably-he portrayed Song Jiang's treacherous and arrogantly into the woods.
A few of these situations, after more than 20 years have passed, they still make people hate it.
For example, Song Jiang's puckered buttocks during Zhao An.
Another example is the highlight of the play- Xun Yanglou, if he dares to speak against the poem, "Song Tae _span _span 8span) "I'm not a husband", he looks like a villain.
At that time,To what extent did everyone "hate" him?
A viewer in Hunan smashed his 20-inch TV directly after watching the TV series. After CCTV learned about it, he felt embarrassed, so he paid for it out of his pocket and bought a 29-inch TV and gave it to others.
In Li Xuejian's hometown of Shandong, this kind of "being too deep into the play" situation is even more serious.
You should know that Li Xuejian is from Shandong. Shandong people have a special feeling for "Water Margin". After all, among the 108 heroes, many are from Shandong.
Li Xuejian plays the role of a hero, Song Jiang, who took the hero to the ditch. The fellow townsmen were angry at that, and they all let out cruel words, "If you dare to come back, you will be beaten to death." ".
In this way, given by Song Jiang, Li Xuejian will go home sneakily after playing "Water Margin". Such a "frightened" day will last for two years.
Two years later, when the villagers "faded", Li Xuejian dared to go back with integrity.
Song Jiang is also successful, and Song Jiang is defeated. Who would have thought that acting too well is a kind of "crime"?

At the 2016 Golden Eagle Awards ceremony, there was such an impressive scene.
After winning the actor, Hu Ge did not rush to the stage to accept the award. Instead, he walked to Li Xue’s fitness, hugged him, and said four words in his ear, "I am ashamed."
Just a few words, It is the admiration of the younger generation to the senior. In fact, it is not just Hu Ge, even Huang Bo tranquil , a well-known actor, has expressed his admiration for Li Xuejian in public more than once.
an actor,There must be a reason for being able to become an evergreen tree in a circle of mixed fish eyes. In addition to business ability, attitude is also very important.
If you know Li Xuejian, you will know that he doesn't care much about fame and fortune.
He is not well-known, and he is interested in the role, and he can also play for zero pay. It was 1983. The TV series "Warm Current" was filmed on the scene. An actor was originally scheduled to give up. At the very moment, the crew thought of Li Xuejian, who had a schedule. Originally, he was just going to invite him with the mentality of trying. It's a success.
Li Xuejian has no requirements for the rewards of acting. has acted for many years, and he still leads a relatively poor life.
In 1990, he was already well-known, and he rode a bicycle to run around the crew. You know, at that time, many little-known actors have already started to show their face.
In the crew, Li Xuejian never gives special treatment just because he is a "big coffee", and eating a box lunch with the group performer can satisfy him for a long time.
After becoming famous, many actors will choose to realize their reputation, which is to make money by advertising.
Li Xuejian also tried, but only once. That was an advertisement for throat lozenges. When Li Xuejian was filming, he didn't think there was any problem. The ad slogan of "No sound, no matter how good the scene is," was tailored for him.
But whoever thought, this is the bad thing about the ad. A few years later, Li Xuejian filmed a " hit the wrong car " in which he played a dumb character. Later, a reporter brought up the old matter again and asked him, "Didn’t you say that there is no voice,Can't the best drama come out? "
In a word, he poke Li Xuejian’s sore spot, he felt that he deceived the audience, it was shameful. Since then, he has established the rule of never accepting advertisements. No matter how attractive the other party’s advertising fees are. People.
06
In this age of sixpence everywhere, Li Xuejian looked up and saw the moon, which is indeed very admirable.
But the bitterness of moneylessness, Li Xuejian also tasted it. It feels good.
In 2000, when Li Xuejian was filming " Chinese track", he was unwell, and anti-inflammatory drugs did not help. Later, he went to the hospital for an examination and was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. At that time, his wife persuaded him to stop working immediately. Li Xuejian was admitted to the hospital for treatment, but Li Xuejian was unwilling. He didn’t want to have affected the progress of the crew. For him, it would be better to die if he didn’t shoot.

He can only let him go. In this way, Li Xuejian dragged his sick body and stayed on the crew until half a year later.
When Li Xuejian was hospitalized, his physical condition was already very bad and his throat was rotten. Take a sip The water hurts, and he had serious side effects during radiotherapy, and he had a hundred thoughts several times.
In addition to the physical pain, Li Xuejian’s days have also become constrained, and the cost of treatment is high. He was overwhelmed, and even wanted to give up.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, it sounds incredible that a famous actor has no money to treat a disease, but it is true. In the early years, Li Xuejian was paid very well. Low, for the film "Jiao Yulu", he got 6,000 yuan in remuneration, and the film "Desire", he got 8,000 yuan in remuneration,"Water Margin" has the highest pay, only 130,000.
On the road of fighting cancer, the money is really a drop in the bucket. Fortunately, some friends extended a helping hand. With the encouragement of family and friends, Li Xuejian also succeeded in fighting cancer. This is a blessing in misfortune.
End:
Li Xuejian almost gave up the treatment because of the high cost of treatment, which is indeed embarrassing. Who could have imagined that an old artist who was diligent in acting would not even be able to afford the money for medical treatment in the end.
Looking back at the current entertainment industry, those young artists who have no acting skills can make a lot of money without any effort by relying on the blessing of popularity and traffic.
In such a comparison, people can't help but ask, "What's wrong with this world?"
Fortunately, bad people and bad things will eventually be reported. In just a few days, the entertainment industry has had a kind of building that will be pouring. Inferior artists have kept cool, and the era of "flow is king" is gone forever.
People finally realized that strength and character are the foundation of this circle.
is like teacher Li Xuejian.
