The years are as ruthless as a butcher's knife, and each one is engraved with the imprint of time, making people inevitably grow old.
This view is very popular.
Time flies, and 28 years have quietly passed since China's first sensational TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" kicked off.
Looking back, this witty drama series that combines elements of history, folklore and traditional art has made countless fans fall in love day and night.
At its peak, it staggeringly attracted nearly half of the audience share, leaving an unforgettable ratings legend.
Justice in the world is like a scale, and the hearts of the people are a scale.
The melody of "Qing Official Ballad" reverberates, praising Liu Luoguo's unswerving voice for the people's livelihood. It not only made Li Baotian, Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang and other 'senior and powerful factions' in the entertainment industry famous, but also deeply imprinted their people's feelings.
Time flies, and nearly 30 years have passed. Those partners who used to work side by side, are they doing well now?
Don't miss Li Baotian's outstanding performance in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", he is known for his unique"Bend but not bend"The image interprets the protagonist Liu Yong, which is eye-catching.
Although Li Baotian had already entered the ranks of fifty years old when he played the role of Liu Luoguo, he seemed to have no chance with "handsome" with his profound harlequin skills in Bangzi opera.
Amazingly, however, his award-winning record is staggeringly extensive.
Li Baotian's brilliant resume is like a bright star, including domestic and foreign awards such as Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Feitian, and even the Golden Hugo Awards at the Tokyo International Film Festival, Cannes and Chicago International Film Festivals are also favored by him.
Therefore, in the hearts of the directors preparing for "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", his figure naturally became the first choice.
Li Baotian responded to the director's expectations with extraordinary acting skills, with it"It's not amazing"'s appearance, successfully interpreting the fairness and innocence in the depths of the character in "Liu Luoguo", thus creating a unique image of a loyal character.
Following the successive release of popular masterpieces such as "Harlequin Dad" and "Miracle Doctor Xilaile", we have witnessed a new style of the entertainment industry - domestic entertainment began to abandon the prejudice of appearance and admired the bright star career of the powerful faction, which opened the prelude to an era in which acting skills are king.
In 2006, Liu Luoguo's classic film and television work is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
However, at this time, the leading actor Li Baotian was unexpectedly involved in a legal dispute, which seemed to have become a turning point in his acting career, and since then he has entered a low period of his career.
Just after his carefully created "The Minister" was perfectly sealed, and near the critical moment of screen debut, the length of the series was dramatically expanded from 30 episodes to 33 episodes, and the sudden changes were unexpected.
Li Baotian took legal action for his blindness in failing to fulfill his contractual obligations and damaging his reputation"Fill with water"Say no, and directly resort to the law to protect the spirit of the contract and its own reputation.
The court made a fair ruling, ruling that the producer should pay Li Baotian a total of 300,000 yuan for the three episodes in excess of the contract.
Li Baotian was also required to pay the same amount of liquidated damages for breach of contract, and both parties to this dispute bear the corresponding responsibility, which can be described as fair and equal"Fifty boards each"。
Li Baotian was unfortunately burdened by friction with investors"Drama bully"As he grew older, he naturally chose to bid farewell to the entertainment industry and instead enjoy a quiet self-cultivation life.
In 2020, the 74-year-old Li Baotian won the Golden Eagle Award for Lifetime Achievement, and although his figure was almost unrecognizable at the award ceremony, his mental state remained strong.
We sincerely wish him to cherish his body and enjoy a peaceful old age.
When mentioning the outstanding actor Li Baotian, it is natural to think of his excellent ** person - Li Yu.
What is amazing is that in the work "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", the wonderful cooperation between father and son is like a tacit "father and son" performance.
When Li Baotian joined the crew, his son Li Yu regrettably passed by the admission of Chinese opera.
Out of love and encouragement for his son, he specially arranged a small role in the play, Liu An, a loyal servant of the Liu Mansion, to soothe his lost feelings.
Although he started with a small role, for Li Yu, it was the starting point of his acting career.
With his indomitable spirit and hard work, he was finally admitted to the China Theatre Academy and achieved a leap.
It draws on the unique charm of Li Yapeng's role as Qiu Qianren in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", as well as his classic style of the South China Sea crocodile god in "Dragon Babu".
Under Hu Ge's wonderful interpretation, he lovingly interpreted the unique and charming role of Zhou Botong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", as well as the unforgettable white-haired image in "Old Voice", and his performance was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Although he did not cause a heated discussion among the people, he has steadily moved forward on the screen, and every hit drama has left his unique mark.
From "Son-in-law" to "Lotus Tower", to "Tiger and Crane Demon Master" and "Agarwood Like Crumbs", he continues to attract the attention of the audience with his outstanding performances.
Next, let's focus on the key villain in the play - He Shen, played by Wang Gang, who will lead the play alone and show a different style.
Wang Gang's affectionate interpretation of the role of He Shen, he himself could not clearly define whether this was a blessing or misfortune in his acting career, and this role seemed to have left a complex and far-reaching impact in his heart.
At first, he was hesitant to invite the crew, as his schedule happened to be in Southeast Asia. However, the crew's persistence was touching, and they waited for him for a month and a half.
This made him feel that it would be inappropriate to refuse again.
He had no intention of indirectly playing this unique villain role, but unexpectedly found his own position in the interpretation - the best choice for He Shen.
Since then, the role of He Shen has become his trademark, and his performance in "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" is even more commendable, which makes people deeply impressed by the role of He Shen he played.
Although Wang Gang is comfortable in his career, the twists and turns of life are amazing. After two marriage changes, until the age of 60, he also ushered in a surprise of a little life.
Subsequently, it attracted a lot of attention because of its luxurious courtyard house in Beijing, and it was followed by heated discussions and doubts.
In 2023, he decisively emptied his footprints on Weibo and all his fan bases, and quietly faded out of public view.
Now, he must have spent a warm retirement time with his family and enjoyed a peaceful life.
When Wang Gang is mentioned, it is natural to think of his ** partner - Zhang Guoli.
In the play, Zhang Guoli exquisitely played Emperor Qianlong, who was the supreme boss of the wise and brave He Shen and the witty and humorous Liu Luoguo.
Zhang Guoli played the role of emperor for the first time in his screen career, and since then he has started his professional journey of playing the role of emperor on the screen.
Among the members of the first generation of "Iron Triangle", Zhang Guoli can be called the only remaining active star.
In 2023, he made a magnificent return with a high-profile film "Rock Solid", and his superb acting skills once again dazzled people, proving that his acting prowess is extraordinary.
Next, let's focus on the powerful supporting cast in the play, especially worth mentioning is that Li Ding's superb interpretation of the role of the six princes is undoubtedly a highlight among many characters.
Despite his indulgence and drunkenness, his wit is unfathomable and a source of joy throughout the show.
His clever trick - guiding Liu Yong to imitate official steps, that scene made countless viewers laugh, and laughter echoed in every corner.
In the play, he is the joke"Master of comedy", and outside the play, Li Ding is a source of joy in the hearts of many fans.
That sentence"It's easy to go up to the fifth floor in one go", like a warm laugh, deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience.
Sadly, this optimistic old man passed away in 2009 at the age of 82, and his laughter and spirit will forever be remembered in our hearts.
When it comes to extraordinary supporting roles, the six princes are undoubtedly bright stars, and Zheng Banqiao - brilliantly performed by Guan Zongxiang - is like a shining foil, indispensable, and also at the peak.
Although his debut on the stage is not long, he has successfully shaped it through a subtle game of identity guessing with Liu Yong"A generation of prime ministers who protect the city today"The image is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience.
Although he doesn't have much time on the screen, the actor Guan Zongxiang sits on the lead position of the crew with his profound strength.
He is not only recognized as China's chief acting master, but also the honorable father of the famous director Guan Hu, which makes him unique in the crew.
He was known for"Wei Lao Er"、"Jin Yanzhong"、"Hanako"but sadly, this artistic giant has passed away in 2023 at the age of 100, leaving behind an eternal artistic legacy.
After passing the charm of male characters, Ms. Deng Jie changed the topic and focused on the uniqueness of female characters.
In fact, "This Male-Dominated Play" does not have a traditional heroine setting.
If you want to choose, the wife of Liu Yong played by Deng Jie in the play is undoubtedly a shining female representative.
On the screen, Mrs. Liu with"Emperor Shi Huang"Zhang Guoli wrote a dramatic love story, but in reality, they came together because of each other's fate.
What is curious is whether this is related to Zhang Mo, who was born to Zhang Guoli and his ex-wife?
They chose a path of infertility in their married life and wrote a unique love story together.
Today's family structure is unique, and the two children are accepted by love, although they are not related by blood, but they form a warm and harmonious and intimate family.
Deng Jie's charm is still dazzling, and she continues to shine in the entertainment industry.
In October 2023, the TV series "My Assistant is Not Simple" starring her will meet the audience, and she, like her husband Zhang Guoli, has a booming acting career, constantly dedicating exciting new works, showing the style of the year.
When talking about the glorious chapter of the Liu family, I have to mention the woman who emerged in the name of 'Yancui' - Second Mrs. Liu.
She was originally Mrs. Liu's intimate maid, but as Mrs. Liu failed to add an heir for a long time, Yancui's fate took a turn and she became the wife of Liu Yong's mansion, writing a new family story with a virtuous attitude.
In her acting career, Yancui played by Qiu Yue finally won the consummation in the plot, multiplied like Liu Yong, and gained a good story.
However, in reality, Qiu Yue, although the life of the characters in the play has been sublimated, she has not enjoyed the same good luck outside the play.
Two years after successfully starring in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" and attracting widespread attention, she tied the knot with comedy genius Xie Yuan.
However, since then, her works have gradually decreased, but it cannot be ignored that the role of Nezha she played in "Journey to the West" is still loved by the audience.
In 2020, Xie Yuan, who died of a heart attack at the age of 61, suddenly passed away from a heart attack, leaving behind a widow Qiu Yue. Since then, she has chosen to fade out of the showbiz, and has not been heard from since, concentrating on life.
In the play, if Yancui is the sole leader, then it must be Sai Diao Chan, she is a peerless beauty in Qianlong's hidden world, and Wang Luyao's wonderful performance is unforgettable.
Wang Luyao, the wonderful interpreter of Sable Chan, was once a versatile star of the Art Troupe of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.
She has Russian blood in her body, not only outstanding acting skills, but also moving singing, dancing posture, and even more elegant on the keys.
In that era, she was undoubtedly the "national idol" in the hearts of everyone.
However, it is a pity that soon after she created the classic role of Liu Luoguo, she chose to fade out of the entertainment industry, leaving the audience with endless aftertaste.
The on-screen relationship of "Green Card" concluded their love, but it also unexpectedly pushed Wang Luyao to the edge of the entertainment industry due to copyright disputes, and her phased retirement stemmed from the real projection of her love in the drama with Wan Ziliang.
Soon after withdrawing from the public eye, she married the wealthy Li Zhe in a low-key manner, and ushered in the crystallization of their love in 2001 - a cute little princess.
In 2002, she made a gorgeous return to the screen, creating unforgettable classic images, such as the affectionate interpretation of Mrs. Wang in "Dragon Babu", and the stunning role of Yang Guifei in "Tang Gefei", her return is dazzling with these superb performances.
In 2006, she co-founded a career with the well-known comedy master He Qingkui and co-formed their team. Subsequently, she performed the TV series "The Story of Spring Greeting", which deeply reflects rural life.
After ten years of ups and downs in the entertainment industry, after the wonderful performance of "The Legend of the Chief" in 2016, she quietly faded out of the public eye. Many speculate that she may have chosen to return to her private life, concentrate on her family, and enjoy the joy of parenting.
Time flies, 28 years in the blink of an eye, and personnel are no longer there. The style of the former actor is no longer there, and the stunning beauty of the past is also fading away in youth.
A timeless classic lies in the memories it touches. Whenever the theme song echoes, those deep-rooted drama moments, the actors' outstanding performances seem to wear the medal of glory honed by time.
