11 just started, and another old artist left us.
Recently, the actor who played Guan Yu in
4 version of "Three Kingdoms" unfortunately passed away due to illness at the age of 66.As soon as the news of Lu Shuming's death came out, it immediately caused condolences inside and outside the circle.
When the former "martial saint" bid farewell, the actors from the 1994 version of the Three Kingdoms sent their condolences.
"Liu Bei " Sun Yanjun , "Zhuge Liang " Tang Guoqiang , "Cao Cao "Bao Guoan all expressed their condolences to old friends through different media, and the feelings of "old friends of the Three Kingdoms" are touching.
On major social media platforms, this news has dominated the screen, and netizens' grief almost burst into the network server.
The sensational effect of Lu Shuming's death is not difficult to predict. Since the 1994 version of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu played by Lu Shuming has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is definitely the image of national film and television .
Guan Gong only recognizes Lu Shuming, Wukong only recognizes Liu Xiaolingtong , Zhuge only recognizes Tang Guoqiang, Heshen only recognizes Wang Gang , there is no dispute, Lu Shuming is definitely among the "one person, one role" in the entertainment industry .
Not long before his death, Lu Shuming was still updating social media to cheer for the women's basketball team and promote his apprentice works.
Now that I have a sudden heart attack, the old artist's voice and appearance are still there, but it also makes people feel sad.
and while feeling the departure of Lu Shuming, looking back on his past experience, Qingshi also found that the life of this old artist is the same as he said:
I am a Guan Gong, and Guan Gong is a Guan Gong.
01. I have met the recommendation of a noble person. At the age of 34, Guan Yu became popular all over the country.
. Now looking back at the 1994 version of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu's image is a famous scene.
When he passed five levels and killed six generals, his unstoppable and powerful martial saint aura was full of his aura.
When the brothers in the ancient city met , that touching brotherly kindness made countless viewers unforgettable.
defeated the Maicheng chapter , and the hero's proud attitude was still standing at the end of his journey, which also made people feel deeply moved.
Lu Shuming almost copied the image of Guan Erye in the book in the book.
There is no controversy. Lu Shuming version Guan Yu is definitely the ceiling of Guan Yu's film and television image , and it is difficult to see a transcendent in the future. After this version of
, many folk craftsmen even directly used Lu Shuming's version of Guan Yu as the carving object, which shows that Lu Shuming's interpretation is outstanding.
So how did he go from an ordinary person to becoming the nationally famous "Guan Gong"?
Lu Shuming was born in 1956 in Shandong Qingdao .
10, he followed his father to Shaanxi , and grew up in the vast northwest.
This growth experience from east to west makes him not only the Shandong style bold , but also the -enchanting that comes with the Northwest people.
This spirit of daring to fight and fight also reflects Lu Shuming's early experience.
At around the age of 20, he has tried many careers, not only as a basketball player, but also as an aerial photographer. It was not until he entered the Xi'an drama troupe that he officially started filming.
Because he entered the industry late, Lu Shuming, who "basic skills still need to be tempered", just filmed silently in the theater troupe in the early stage and was relatively unfamous.
10 years before entering the industry, he did not have many movie and television images that people remembered except for playing Qin Shihuang in the movie " Ancient and Modern Warriors' Love ".
The turning point that changed Lu Shuming's fate happened in 1990.
That year, the casting of CCTV's version of "Three Kingdoms" came to an end, but the actor of the protagonist Guan Yu was undecided.
When the director team was having a headache for Guan Erye, Guo Da , who was born in the northwest, recommended his "membership" Lu Shuming to director Wang Fulin.
After being recommended by noble people to come to the crew of "Three Kingdoms", Lu Shuming, who changed into a styling, made the director team's eyes shine.
Lu Shuming's image, temperament, figure and other conditions are very appropriate to the tall and burly Master Guan Er's in the book, with red face and long beards.
This also made him the "son of choice" in the eyes of the director, surpassing more than 30 candidates to win the role of Guan Yu .
However, it is worth mentioning that despite the excellent opportunity to get a career, Lu Shuming suffered a lot when he participated in "The Three Kingdoms".
is the first difficult thing, and it is "disfigured" for the sake of styling.
During the three-year shooting cycle of "Three Kingdoms", Lu Shuming often needs to stick various latex to the character's needs.
But occasionally, it doesn’t matter if you post it occasionally. It can’t stand the long-term shape for three years. Over time, this also makes his face almost become one with latex...
For this reason, Lu Shuming once said that his skin often blisters and rots after tearing off his look.
For this reason, he even joked that he had "destroyed his face" to film.
is the second difficulty, because of its weight, it "turned over";
Since joining the crew at the last moment, Lu Shuming did not adapt to the rhythm in the early stage, and his body was tall and even a little overweight...
So, there was such a strange scene at the shooting site.
Lu Shuming repeatedly pressed down on the "Red Rabbit Horse" due to his heavy figure, which affected the shooting progress with laughter and cry.
, and he fell off his horse 6 times during the subsequent filming.
The most serious time was to hurt hip , which made him lie down for a full month and experience the pain of "being Guan Gong".
According to Lu Shuming, the old doctor found a small branch for him to bite, and took a thick needle to remove blood from his legs without too many anesthetic measures.
This was later teased by Lu Shuming as "scraping the bone to cure the poison." The third difficulty of
is that it is almost "replaced"; in the early stage of shooting, Lu Shuming, who failed to adapt to the rhythm in the early stage, was criticized for issues such as lines and accent .
Wang Fulin, director team of "Three Kingdoms", recalled afterwards that after filming the first 6 episodes, they even considered changing actors.
Faced with the various controversies surrounding him, Lu Shuming's acquired efforts made the director relieve his concerns.
Then he controlled his figure in time and reduced his weight to a more appropriate value.
Faced with the shortcomings of line performance, Lu Shuming used his "hanging beam and stabbing the thigh" style to make up for it.
Sun Yanjun, the actor who played Liu Bei, revealed that At that time, Lu Shuming had lines all around the room, and even the bedside and bathroom wall were covered with scripts.
Get up every day, Lu Shuming kept silently reciting lines and pondering the characters' psychology against the wall. After practicing day and night, his performance finally moved the director team, and the storm of changing roles was self-defeating.
. With the extremely hard-working acquired preparation, Lu Shuming's version of Guan Yu gradually improved in the later stage, and even reached the state of combining two with the character.
02. Because Guan Yu has established his acting style, he has also been shaped by the second master outside the play.
Although Guan Yu's image is popular all over the country, Lu Shuming has established his career after the peak of his career. has established his ...
Although there will always be Lu Shuming's version of Guan Yu's figure every time the Chinese drama is inventories, because Guan Yu's image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Lu Shuming's subsequent development of film and television has always stagnated.
Because it is always difficult to remove the Guan Gong filter on his body, Lu Shuming has also been finalized because it is difficult to surpass his peak image.
And in addition to playing Guan Yu in the play, Lu Shuming outside the play seemed to have gradually become "the shadow of Guan Yu".
Although his career development has stagnated slightly, Lu Shuming took this opportunity to polish himself.
For many years later, he not only became the folk ambassador of Guan Yu's image, but also established the Lu family class and recruited 46 apprentices to contribute to the promotion of traditional culture.
And he, who is studying literary and artistic theory books and supplementing cultural knowledge, also has a subtle taste of "June Guan Er".
There are two things that can illustrate this.
The first thing he did was arrogantly refusing to cooperate with the big director again;
In 1995, when the Stephen Chow style nonsense swept the theater chain, he directly opposed Stephen Chow.
It turns out that during the stage of Stephen Chow's preparation for filming " Westward Journey to ", Lu Shuming was invited to play the role of Bull Demon King, who is the one who wants to marry Zixia Fairy in the film.
Because of the various images of Bull Demon King, Lu Shuming almost changed his face to shoot. In addition, Stephen Chow, known as the "Tyrant on the Set", all kinds of strict requirements have caused Lu Shuming to have a great rift with the other party.
For this reason, after filming this film, Lu Shuming even more "disgusted" tells the director Liu Zhenwei to sign his own name.
. In the later interview, the outspoken Lu Shuming was still criticizing Stephen Chow for being difficult to serve and arrogantly said:
(with Stephen Chow) could not cooperate again!
This attitude of insisting on oneself and refusing to compromise is also somewhat in line with Guan Erye in the play...
The second thing is that it emphasizes love and friendship like Guan Erye;
In addition to filming the 1994 version of "Three Kingdoms", Lu Shuming also maintains a brotherly relationship with other starring actors in the crew.
For example, during the filming of "Three Kingdoms", Lu Shuming ran to the farmhouse to pick corn with "Liu Bei" Sun Yanjun and " Zhang Fei " Li Jingfei .
After "Liu Bei" was detained, "Guan Yu" and "Zhang Fei" who were consciously in trouble ran first, but did not forget the brother in the play.
After returning to the crew to report the message, they led the crew back to apologize and apologize, and then "rescued" "Liu Bei".
More reflects Lu Shuming's important affection, which is the following.
For some time, Zhang Fei, the actor Li Jingfei, , caused mobility inconvenience due to stroke, and could only travel with crutches or in a wheelchair.
When the "third brother" had not saved much and it was difficult to maintain the treatment costs, Lu Shuming and Zhao Yun played Zhang Shan initiated a donation for the other party.
For many years, Lu Shuming also visited and accompanied Li Jingfei many times. This "Taoyuan brotherhood" outside the play also makes people sigh.
And this also makes people feel that Lu Shuming spent his whole life playing Guan Gong.
And all this is as he said in his book "I Meet Guan Gong" in 2016: I have created the image of Guan Gong, and Guan Gong has created my life.
3. Lu Shuming's departure is a pain in the entertainment industry and a microcosm of " special actor ";
Now this person has passed away, but looking back at Lu Shuming's career, it is not difficult for us to draw a regrettable conclusion from it:
He became popular because of "Guan Yu", but his acting career has stagnated due to his binding to Guan Erye.
Compared with the subsequent development of actors Tang Guoqiang and others in the same group, he has no highlights in his subsequent career, which is defined by some media as a "special actor".
and this is also reflected in the three major helplessnesses of the entire circle.
The first helpless - the actors have always been unable to get rid of the "special" shackles;
In fact, in subsequent acting careers, Lu Shuming played the role of non-Guan Yu many times.
, which includes playing Wu Zixu in the TV series " Sun Wu " and playing Li Guang in " Emperor Wu of Han ", but the overall response is relatively average.
It seems that no matter how hard it is, in the mindset of countless audiences, Lu Shuming seems to be unable to walk into a vicious circle that looks like Guan Yu.
The second one is helpless, the more you receive "special" actors, the fewer and fewer films;
Lu Shuming himself once revealed that he went to the crew for auditions many times in his early years, but he often received a comment from the other party that "looks like Guan Yu".
For this reason, he said that he often encounters situations where there is no following when he comes back from the audition.
After a while, Lu Shuming's late career has fewer and fewer Lu Shuming's show.
The third one is helpless, because of life problems, he has no choice but to put down his body;
Due to the cost of treating a mother with cancer, Lu Shuming began to lower his requirements for various participation activities in the past few years.
This also intuitively leads to a fact that Mr. Lu’s reputation on the Internet has declined in recent years.
In the past few years, Lu Shuming has attended commercial performances in major rural areas. No matter how simple the conditions are and how few the audiences are, he still performs hard.
In addition, he also followed the Internet wave, including taking over the endorsement of web games, and learning about Gazi and Pan Zi in the live broadcast room to sell wine together...
even, Lu Shuming also participated in a 3.9-point low-score network shooting with a reputation, and played Guan Yu in the film "true character".
Although the Internet is of poor quality and is not worth mentioning, Lu Shuming's attitude of " glaring at God of War" is indeed very good.
Qingshi dares to say that the 3.9 points of can be regarded as a place that Mr. Lu barely supports.
Such a posture of lowering one's figure is sad, but on the other hand, it is also Lu Shuming's helpless move under "no play to play".
This also shows from the other hand that his righteous act of taking care of "Zhang Fei" Li Jingfei is extremely precious, and makes people even more unbearable to "reproach" Mr. Lu's low-scoring film and television performance in recent years.
And Mr. Lu's current departure reflects the helplessness of the actors' difficulty in getting out of their limitations. His departure is undoubtedly a major loss in the entertainment industry.
Now that this person has passed away, everything in the past is a cloud of clouds, the only thing that remains unchanged is the classic image left to us by the old artist.
Now that the "Martial Saint" is gone, it is full of emotion, but the film and television memories are still in mind. At the end of the article, let Qingshi borrow the lyrics of the ending song of the 94th edition of "Three Kingdoms" to give this old artist a final farewell:
dimmed the sword and the sword shadows, and left the drums and horns and chirping
Flying in front of his eyes,
Annihilated the ancient road of the yellow dust and desolated the beacon border town.
years, you can't take away those familiar names.
