It is not difficult to be an actor, but it is indeed more difficult to be a good actor than to ascend to the sky, and the most difficult thing is to restore the special actors of famous historical figures in some TV series. When it comes to special actors, do you have the appearance of many people in your mind, today, Xiaobian wants to talk about the special actor known as "Grandpa Deng's professional household" - Lu Qi. (Hereinafter collectively referred to as Chairman Deng)
Speaking of Lu Qi, he has played many roles, but the most impressive thing is his role as Grandpa Deng. According to statistics, Lu Qi has played Grandpa Deng in more than sixty film and television works. Having played the same role so many times, I have to say that it is really a test of acting skills! But how did he do it? How was it discovered? Next, Xiaobian will take you to take a look at it.
In 1986, Lu Qi, who worked at an art theater in Sichuan, was assigned to attend a program on Sichuan Television. After arriving in Sichuan, Lu Qi, who was recording in the recording studio, was discovered by the director of the Sichuan Television Station at the time, and suddenly said: Hey, this young man looks like Grandpa Deng! But at this time, Lu qi did not care, only regarded it as a joke.
Unexpectedly, two years later, Lu Qi's opportunity to play Grandpa Deng really came, in order to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Baise Uprising, Changchun Film Studio was ready to shoot the movie "Baise Uprising", the film had not yet started, and the crew encountered the problem of finding actors. Because this actor must not only look like Grandpa Deng, but also have the temperament of Grandpa Deng.
In addition to the above two points, there is a more critical point, this actor must also be able to play Grandpa Deng in his youth! Because when the Baise Uprising was launched, Grandpa Deng was only 25 years old, but there was no information to refer to. Therefore, the director of "Baise Uprising" wanted to find a Sichuan actor, so that the language would be more similar to the prototype of Grandpa Deng.
So the long search for Grandpa Deng's role began in Sichuan. Later, the crew came to the Sichuan Art Theater where Lu Qi worked, and when they saw Lu Qi's file, the director team saw that there was a still of Lu Qi wearing a Zhongshan coat, and found that Lu Qi's age and height were similar to Grandpa Deng's, so the directors were full of curiosity and planned to meet this Lu Qi.
Later, the directors saw Lucci as they wished, and to be honest, Luci basically did not report any hope at that time. After all, this is not an ordinary movie, it is a new film of Changchun Studio! So there were countless brilliant actors across the country vying for the only role, and he was just an unknown theater actor, so when the crew took a few photos of him and told him to wait for the news, Luci put the matter aside and didn't pay special attention.
Unexpectedly, after two months, the news really waited, and the crew informed him to go to Changchun to try makeup, so he immediately booked a ticket to Changchun. But I didn't expect to go to Changchun, the makeup artist saw him at the first sight and directly denied him, because Lu Qi, who had just finished playing Sun Yat-sen at that time, had a thick beard, coupled with long hair, and looked at the live and shedding was a copy of Sun Yat-sen.
But Lu qi came, so the crew still let him try it, and then the makeup artist cut Lu Qi's long hair shorter, but Lu Qi's eyebrows were too thick, so the makeup artist told him that he might need to pull out some of the eyebrows to have an effect, but at this time Lu Qi made a mistake: now he is still trying makeup, I don't know if I can choose it in the end, if I choose it, then this eyebrow is worth it; but if I don't choose it, then after going home, shouldn't I be laughed at?
After a series of psychological struggles, Luci finally decided to take a gamble - to pluck his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, just by pulling out an eyebrow, Lu Qi's brow bone began to swell, and the makeup artist quickly gave him some medicine when he saw it, and told him to try on makeup in two days. Two days later, Lu Qi came to the makeup room of the crew again, and when Lu Qi finished putting on his makeup and put on his Red Army clothes, he looked at himself in the mirror, and he was stunned for a while.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lu Qi felt both familiar and strange; in the end, even the photographer could not help but sigh in surprise: This is too much like Grandpa Deng! In this way, the stills were settled, and Lu qi also got the precious opportunity to play Grandpa Deng. So it didn't take long for Lu Qi to enter the crew with his own enthusiasm. At first, Lu Qi would hold stacks of books every day to study how to restore the image of Grandpa Deng, so he also went to visit the veteran soldiers in the army and Grandpa Deng's family.
Sure enough, the efforts finally paid off; with this "Baise Uprising", Lu Qi won the Best Actor Award at the 10th Golden Rooster Awards; after that, he successively starred in more than sixty film and television works such as "Armageddon - The Battle of Huaihai", "Deng Xiaoping in 1976", "The Great Turning Point - Battle against Lu Southwest", "Deng Xiaoping", and in these films, Lu Qi, without exception, played the image of Grandpa Deng's wei'an.
On the occasion of the 110th anniversary of Grandpa Deng's birth, a reporter interviewed Grandpa Deng's daughter Deng Lin and said: What do you think of Grandpa Deng played by Lu Qi? Deng Lin replied in an authentic Sichuan dialect: Lu Qi's acting skills have long been recognized by our family, and his father himself said that Lu Qi acted like a special one! I believe that such praise should be a great encouragement for Luci himself;
But in fact, Lu Qi can successfully portray the image of Grandpa Deng in dozens of film and television dramas of various ages, and has also been recognized by Grandpa Deng himself, which is inseparable from his usual efforts. I think that when filming Grandpa Deng in his old age, Lu Qi was the first to go to the set every time.
Because he is a special actor, he has to spend a long time wearing makeup every time. At that time, due to the limitations of conditions, wrinkles and the like were glued to the face, and when the weather was sweltering, these glues were smeared on the face all day, and the face was torn at night when the makeup was removed. But for all this, Lucci never complained.
It is with such dedication and enthusiasm that Lu Qi can go to today step by step, for such a dedicated special actor, we have to admire, after all, because of them, we have relived Grandpa Deng's feats again and again in film and television dramas, always feel that he is still around us, here also hope that Lu Qi can "specialize in the art industry" and continue to bring more classic works to the audience!
