The TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" was a huge success in 1996, and it also made the "Iron Triangle" group popular, including Wang Gang, Li Baotian and Zhang Guoli.
Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang took a fancy to the market and decided to continue filming this kind of TV series, but they did not expect to be strongly opposed by Li Baotian.
Li Baotian said without hesitation: "It is no longer possible to cooperate with certain people!" ”
Because of this sentence, Li Baotian offended many people, causing many people to think that he was "pretending" too much.
At the awards ceremony, he severely condemned the producers of "Miracle Doctor Xilaile", causing them to lose face.
He was not finished, and then he took the production company of "The Minister" to court, and he won.
As a result, he also suffered, but he still stood his ground, and did not mince words: "I have never regretted my past decisions." ”
Li Baotian seems to have a stubborn personality by nature, and even when he was very young, he didn't seem to understand the world very well.
Probably under the influence of his father, Li Baotian also had the same fiery temper. Li Baotian's father was an old revolutionary who always stood up unfearlessly in the face of injustice.
Li Baotian has always been influenced by his father's words and deeds, has a stubborn personality, and will never compromise with the world.
However, his academic performance was so poor that he even suffered a repetition in the fourth grade of primary school, which is unimaginable.
Originally, his father planned to let him continue to use old books, because people in that era were very frugal, but he didn't expect that his books were torn like they had been gnawed by dogs, and they were covered with graffiti of villains.
Until he reached the sixth grade, he was ostracized by the whole class and even the teachers were dissatisfied with him because he was too independent and different.
He always skipped school, sneaked outside the small theater to pick up ticket stubs for other people's exits, and then enjoyed them for dozens of minutes with relish, satisfying his curiosity.
At that time, he also had a dream in his heart, that is, to be on the stage in the future and become the most well-known "horn".
At that time, he coincided with the enrollment of Jiangsu Provincial Opera School, and hurriedly signed up for it without asking his parents' opinions. Surprisingly, he successfully passed the selection.
When he returned home, he was unsurprisingly beaten up by his father, which was not surprising in the circumstances, given that in those days it was a derogatory term to call people "drama".
His father believed that Li Baotian's behavior was detrimental to the morale of the family, and he would never tolerate such behavior.
Li Baotian seems to be more tenacious than his father, even if he is beaten, he does not say anything, showing an attitude of "beat me to death, if you can't beat me, I will go to learn drama".
His father saw that Li Baotian was still so stubborn, so he began to scold him again. Unexpectedly, Li Baotian ran away from home and went straight to learn opera, and Li Baotian was only 14 years old at the time.
His life at the opera school was not easy, and the experience of life there was unimaginable for him.
At that time, most of the students were from rural areas, and because of their poor families, they came out to study drama to earn a living. And Li Baotian is a special existence, he is from the city.
He was ostracized by his classmates, who gave him the nickname "Street Slicker" to mock Li Baotian's "young master status".
Soon after, he was caught in the predicament of natural disasters, often without enough to eat, and his daily life was stretched.
The cold winter was the hardest time, not only did diet become a problem, but even basic warmth was difficult to ensure, and he didn't even have a pair of proper shoes to wear.
He was often dizzy from hunger because he did not have enough food and clothing. Once, I was so tired that I didn't go to the play, and I was angrily kicked and beaten by a teacher and scolded loudly.
Li Baotian took immediate retaliatory action, he ran to one of the most conspicuous walls, and expressed his anger at the teacher in the form of verbal curses.
If it weren't for one cadre who said many good things for him, he was doomed to be expelled from school.
In order to achieve the "cowhide" that he boasted at the beginning, he practiced kung fu more diligently than others, often getting up early in the morning, only to cause him to suddenly pass out.
When he woke up, he found himself lying in a hospital bed, and to his surprise, his father was receiving ** in the **ward next door**.
As a son, he could not keep his head down, so he went to his father's hospital room to visit him and took out his usual diary.
What I want to tell my father is that these are important lessons that he has accumulated on a daily basis, and as long as he has enough time, he will definitely become a veritable "horn".
His father mercilessly threw the diary on the ground, and then angrily rebuked him: "You can't be a thing in your life!" ”
The anger in Li Baotian's heart exploded instantly, and he returned to school desperately, determined to win his father's respect.
Before he could succeed, he received the news that his father was seriously ill, and when they met again, they were separated forever.
Although his father has passed away, he is determined to continue to work hard in the coming days so that his father can see his success in the spirit of heaven.
He struggled through his apprenticeship, only to find himself barely able to move forward in the torrent of times, resulting in him wasting 10 years of his time.
Perhaps it is precisely because of Li Baotian's rich life experience that he can be comfortable in his future acting career.
Li Baotian saw a glimmer of hope, and he made up his mind to go to Beijing and sign up for the ** Drama Academy.
Li Baotian was 32 years old at the time, and he had already missed the ** period of being an actor. However, because he has 18 years of acting experience and has also worked hard to supplement a lot of cultural knowledge, he finally successfully passed the Chinese opera exam.
Li Baotian later filmed his first film "Crossing the Rivers and Lakes", although his reputation is not very prominent, but he can be regarded as officially stepping into the film industry.
He has a very significant feature when filming, that is, his love is more sincere. If he doesn't act well, he will feel that his conscience is not good.
Therefore, during the filming of the movie "Old Man Ge", 40-year-old Li Baotian adopted the method of directly using bleach to turn his hair and beard white in order to create an image of an 80-year-old, which caused him to lose a lot of hair.
You may wonder why you don't go to the barbershop, but in their time, there were no such conditions.
Li Baotian has always had the initial enthusiasm and insisted on taking the original intention as the basis, and photographed countless similar cases.
In the many years since his debut, there has only been one compromise because of his son Li Yu, and this is also the only time.
Li Yu co-invested in a drama at the time, but found that the terms of the contract were very harsh. In order to avoid his son's breach of contract, he reluctantly took over the play and invited his friend Zhang Fengyi to participate.
Since Li Baotian entered the showbiz, this can be said to be his biggest "shame", and there are no other scandals.
Although Li Baotian's reputation became more and more prominent, he consistently adhered to his principles and never bowed to capital. As a result, he has experienced quite a few setbacks and difficulties.
The TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" starring Li Baotian, Wang Gang and Zhang Guoli came out in the 90s of the 20th century and was undoubtedly a great success.
When Zhang Guoli wanted to make a sequel while the iron was hot, Li Baotian rejected him mercilessly. Li Baotian believes that the story is finished, and emphasizes that it is disrespectful to the audience to force the sequel to be filmed in order to cater to the market demand.
Everyone later knew that Li Baotian's choice was changed to Zhang Tielin, and the three of them were popular because they starred in the "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" and "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" series.
Li Baotian didn't care about any of this, he has always been firm in his choice, and he has no regrets.
Li Baotian has won a large number of awards for his role in "Miracle Doctor Xilaile", and news about him has spread frequently.
Unexpectedly, he actually angrily reprimanded the producer at the award acceptance scene, and the reason can only be summed up in two words: water injection.
The original script of "Divine Doctor Xilaile" was only 20 episodes, but it was later changed to 30 episodes. Li Baotian thought that this was reasonable, but when it aired, it was unexpectedly extended to 35 episodes, of which 200 minutes were filled content.
From then on, Li Baotian had to be the artistic director while acting, and he had to perform this duty on a pro bono basis to prevent this from happening.
Despite all the precautions taken, it was still unavoidable, and the original 30-episode plan was changed to 33 episodes during the filming of "The Minister".
He took the film and television company to court in a fit of anger, but the film and television company lost the lawsuit and had to compensate Li Baotian 1.9 million.
As a result, he was boycotted by many companies and even ridiculed as a "drama bully".
At that time, Sina held a special voting event.
He always puts the interests of the audience first, and is unwilling to let TV dramas become a tool for capital profit, and sticks to his original belief.
Li Baotian last appeared in the public eye, when he won the "Lifetime Achievement Artist Award of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles".
At that time, the whole hall was shaken by applause, and thunderous cheers echoed in the air!
Li Baotian is not a power-chaseer man, and he did not sue film and television companies for money.
He once rejected 17 plays a year, and never endorsed advertisements in his life, how could such a person "blackmail" film and television companies? After all.
He doesn't care about the anger of sacrificing capital, just to show the audience excellent works, which makes him stand out in the entertainment industry.
Such an actor is a real artist, and he can win the favor of the audience, but he was attacked by "**This is really a tragedy in the entertainment industry!" Li Baotian
