In 2004, the crew of "Bright Sword" invested 1 million yuan to invite Tang Guoqiang to play the role of Li Yunlong. However, after reading the script, Tang Guoqiang said: Li Yunlong always swears, which is not suitable for me to play. The director then approached Li Youbin, but at first Li Youbin also refused to perform. However, a word from his wife eventually made Li Youbin change his mind and agree to the role.
Since its broadcast, the military-themed TV series "Bright Sword" has attracted the attention of countless viewers with its unique charm. This drama tells the story of how a group of ordinary Chinese soldiers showed their bravery and tenacity in an extremely difficult environment during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and how they were firm in their beliefs and bravely fought against the enemy. The success of the show is not because of its huge investment or the use of state-of-the-art equipment, but because of the dedication and persistence of the creators.
Before the start of filming of the series, director Peng Damo was under tremendous pressure. The process of raising funds was extremely difficult, and he even got into a difficult situation at one point and was unable to start filming. When choosing the actor of the protagonist Li Yunlong, Peng Damo originally hoped to invite Tang Guoqiang to play, but due to various reasons, this wish did not come true. In the end, Li Youbin became the alternate protagonist.
However, Li Youbin's acceptance of this role was not all smooth sailing. He was forty-six years old at the time, and he was full of hesitations and apprehensions about whether he would be able to handle such a challenging role. Fortunately, his wife Shi Lanya gave him great encouragement and support, and she firmly believed that Li Youbin could successfully create a vivid image of Li Yunlong.
The filming conditions of the crew were very difficult. In a cold venue, the actors had to endure the low temperatures, poor accommodation and limited filming equipment. In this challenging environment, Li Youbin has demonstrated his extraordinary professionalism and dedication. He puts his heart and soul into the role, striving to bring out every detail to the fullest.
In order to create the authenticity of the character, Li Youbin did not hesitate to wear thin clothes in the cold weather, and even crawled in the snow, completely ignoring his hands and face that were red from the cold. His dedication and dedication made every crew member who worked with him moved. Despite the difficult conditions, Li Youbin never had half a word of complaint, he always faced every difficulty with a positive and optimistic attitude, and used his actions to infect and encourage the people around him.
The director's high requirements have stimulated Li Youbin's fighting spirit. During the filming process, the director had almost strict standards for every shot, which made Li Youbin feel deeply pressured. However, it was this pressure that made him more focused on his performance and strive to be the best he could be in every shot. In order to meet the director's requirements, Li Youbin often ponders the psychological changes of the character repeatedly between shoots, and even practices his lines and expressions in front of the mirror alone in the middle of the night.
After months of hard work, "Bright Sword" finally completed filming and was successfully broadcast. The series' hit and high ratings prove that the creators' efforts have paid off. The audience was attracted by the simple and real scenes and plump and three-dimensional characters in the play, and the images of Li Yunlong and other characters were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The classic lines in the play have also become a topic of conversation. The original author's satisfaction and affirmation of the remake of the TV series added more luster to the show.
