67 years ago, a family in Chongqing welcomed a baby boy, and his life began.
What everyone did not expect was that this baby boy had become a household name actor decades later.
Who is this person? Lu Qi, who is known as the "First Deng Xiaoping of Shenzhou", is also.
------------------------
In 1953, with a few baby cries, the hanging heart of a red background family in Chongqing finally let go. The long-awaited child has finally arrived, and the joy is that he is still a boy.
Lu Qi is 166cm tall, thanks to this point that he later played Comrade Deng Xiaoping more convincingly.
Lu Qi's parents were soldiers in their early years, and under the excellent family education of his parents, he was lively and cheerful from an early age, and he was particularly interested in literary and artistic matters, recitation, Peking Opera, dancing, and erhu proficiency.
When I was in elementary school, the school carried out some performance activities from time to time. As the "pillar" of the class, his performance always attracted the applause of his classmates and teachers, and later he also performed everywhere with the District Cultural Bureau.
From being nervous on stage at the beginning to falling in love with stage performance later, these experiences have played a key role.
Lucci is not only a "small artist", but also has always been at the top of his grades, and he is a proper "little star" in the class.
1970 was the "downturn" of the times, and luckily Lucci was not greatly affected by it. At that time, he happened to hear that the army was recruiting literary and artistic soldiers, so he secretly ran to sign up for the army, and even the procedures for becoming a soldier were reissued after enlistment.
In the days of the literary troupe, he successively worked as a announcer, pulled erhu, and danced.
In 1974, Lu Qi returned to his hometown of Chongqing, Sichuan Province, after transferring from the Army's Cultural and Industrial Corps. It happened that the Sichuan Provincial People's Art Theater was recruiting actors, and Lu Qi didn't even think about it.
The acting skills cultivated from an early age played a big role, and with excellent results, Lu Qi became a drama actor.
In that era of scarce entertainment resources, drama dominated, but the reality of "fewer plays and more people" was finally there, so the drama actors in those years had a miserable life.
Only they knew best how much they had suffered and how much sin they had suffered, and Luci was no exception.
In the blink of an eye, four years have passed, and in the past four years, the accumulation and precipitation of experience in the group have raised Lu Qi's acting skills to a higher level.
In 1978, when Emei Film Studio was preparing to make the film "Mountain City Snow", Lu Qi was invited to participate in the film with his excellent performance in the regiment, playing the police officer of Premier Zhou Enlai, which was also his first time on the big screen.
Since then, Lu Qi has starred in more and more film and television works, but what really changed the trajectory of his life was the "Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling" in 1986.
1988 was the golden wedding year of Comrade Deng Xiaoping and his wife Zhuo Lin. This year, the Changchun Film Studio wanted to shoot a large-scale film "Baise Uprising" that reflected Comrade Deng Xiaoping's youth, and began to cast among nearly 100 candidates across the country.
In the same year, the director team went into the art archives of Lu Qi's theater to find out whether there were any actors similar to Comrade Deng Xiaoping from the actors who had previously made film and television works.
When they turned to Lu Qi's film and television materials, the crew was dazzled, and the actor in the stills was more suitable for both age and size, and then decided to find him.
After the crew met Lu Qi, Lu Qi reacted that he had the opportunity to participate in the new movie, but the staff's next request greatly reduced his confidence: playing the number one actor.
Hearing such news, Lucci can be described as a mixture of feelings.
It is gratifying that he has the opportunity to participate in the leadership of the great man; what bothers him is that the chance of picking a hundred miles is really slim, even if he chooses, how can he play a generation of great people well? What can I do if I smashed it?
The crew took a few photos and left, and Luci didn't have much hope in his heart at the time, and turned around and went to his current work.
What even he did not expect was that some time later, he actually received a telegram from the crew, hoping that Lu Qi could go to the studio to try on makeup, and in the face of such a surprise, Lu Qi was excited for a while and did not know what to say.
But soon, Lu Qi's mood calmed down to the way he had before: so many people tried on the no. 1 actor, the chances of selecting me were too small, and with the idea of trying his luck, Lu Qi flew to the Changchun Studio.
Things went even worse than he had imagined, because he had barely touched his luck.
At that time, Lu Qi had just finished playing Sun Yat-sen not long ago, with a beard and long hair. The makeup artist took a look at it and said: "This is too similar to Sun Yat-sen, it is not okay to play Comrade Xiaoping, Comrade Xiaoping is Dan Fengyan, he is a big double eyelid."
When he first arrived at the crew, he was given a veto vote by the makeup artist, and Lu Qi inevitably felt uncomfortable in his heart. When he was ready to leave, the director said to the makeup artist: "People have rushed over thousands of miles, how to try it"!
The makeup artist tried on his makeup with an impatient face, began to cut his hair, and after cutting it, he found that he and Comrade Xiaoping's head shape were more similar. So he did a certain "processing" of his eyelids.
The eyelids that were cut with yarn and a half-moon shape were pasted on it, and after the paste, the similarities with Comrade Xiaoping gradually appeared. But new problems have come with them.
Lu Qi's eyebrows are more intense, while Comrade Xiaoping's eyebrows are more sparse. In order to look more like Comrade Xiaoping, Luci's eyebrows had to be plucked out.
This can make Lu Qi difficult, if he can successfully play the pull, he will be pulled, but now it is just an audition, in case it does not work, how humiliating it is to go home with a bare eyebrow.
After hesitating, Luci decided to unplug it.
At that time, it was a very honorable thing to be able to participate in the movie, not to mention playing the number one actor of the leader of the great man. For the sake of the leaders, it is worth it, if it does not succeed.
His back was sweating, but he could only endure it; but after pulling it out, he found that his brow bone was already red and swollen. The makeup artist wanted to send him away when he saw it, and the kind director left him again.
After a few days of rest, Luci returned to the crew. When he reappeared in front of people, everyone's reaction made him know that his sacrifice a few days ago was worth it.
His hair was shaved, his eyebrows were pulled out, his eyelids were pressed, and the makeup artist partially melted his cheekbones, and when Luci put on his military uniform and stood in front of the camera, the photographer exclaimed: "So much like"!
The same shot happens again, and Luci returns to his home after the makeup audition is over. There was no news from the crew, and just when he felt that there was no hope, he received a telegram from the crew: It has now been decided that you will play Comrade Xiaoping, and I hope you can come to the crew to audition.
Lu Qi was overjoyed to hear this, booked a ticket and went to the crew again, and his path as a special actor began.
As soon as he entered the crew, Lu Qi began to carefully figure out comrade Xiaoping's demeanor and form. When he was ready to start shooting, he had already acted very naturally, and director Chen Jialin was surprised to see it.
In addition, in order to make the film a little more realistic, he also deliberately used real materials in the arrangement of wine and dishes. How hard one person works, everyone can see for all to see.
In 1990, with his excellent performance as Comrade Deng Xiaoping in "Baise Uprising", Lu Qi became a household name, so he also won the "Golden Rooster Award".
Not only won the award, he usually went to buy cigarettes and alcohol, he became "Comrade Xiaoping", and people would always greet him cordially when they saw him. At that moment, Lu Qi deeply felt the charm of Comrade Xiaoping.
After Lu Qi performed "Baise Uprising", he has participated in the filming of many film and television works. The images are all based on Comrade Xiaoping.
Comrade Deng Xiaoping has also seen "The Hundred Colors Uprising" and "The Great Armageddon", and such glory is self-evident to an actor. Later, Comrade Xiaoping personally entrusted his assistant to call the General Political Department: "Please thank Comrade Lu Qi on behalf of us, he played very appropriately and successfully."
Receiving care from the prime minister, Luci's motivation is naturally even greater.
But every time he plays a role, he is a person, which naturally makes him feel a little bored inside. By chance, he took over a play to play other roles.
To this end, Lu Qi's father taught him: "Since you have been given the opportunity to play Comrade Xiaoping, you should not easily take over other scenes in the future."
Father's words are not unreasonable, Comrade Xiaoping is a great man in the world, how can he be easily replaced by other scenes? Some scenes can be measured in money, but as Comrade Xiaoping, his feelings for him cannot be measured in money!
His father was the teacher of his life, but there was always a difference!
With the filming of several film and television works, Lu Qi, like other national leaders and actors, was invited to Shanghai to attend the opening ceremony of the ceremony.
On the day of the opening ceremony, Lu Qi received a phone call from his father who was far away in Sichuan, who was critically ill, but in order to show the style of Comrade Deng Xiaoping at the opening, Lu Qi endured to attend the ceremony.
Luci bought a ticket to go home that day, but unfortunately, when he returned home, his father had already left him.
Since then, Lu Qi has turned grief into strength, and has filmed dozens of film and television works about "Comrade Xiaoping" before and after.
More and more works have been filmed, and Lu Qi has also filmed the film and television dramas of Comrade Xiaoping in various eras. Every time he participated in the shooting, he had a new harvest, but what made him gain the most was the 2002 movie "Deng Xiaoping".
This film was made to welcome the 100th anniversary of Comrade Deng Xiaoping's birth, and it tells the story of Comrade Deng Xiaoping's life in his later years, but Lu Qi was a middle-aged man who was less than 50 years old at the time, which made him difficult for a while.
Most of the shots from beginning to end of this play were filmed in the former residence of Comrade Xiaoping, so this made Lu Qi feel more stressed.
In order to make this play well, he studied Comrade Deng Xiaoping's video materials and books day and night, and in order to learn his voice in his later years, he listened to the recording over and over again, because he knew that playing a great man would do everything in detail.
After the release of "Deng Xiaoping", it was once loved by everyone. Even Deng Pufang, the son of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, said to him: "Lu Qi, you are acting very well in this play."
Later, in the interview, Lu Qi said: "Comrade Xiaoping's family said that I acted well, and I was naturally very satisfied."
In 2003, Lu Qi won the "Best Actor award of the Hundred Flowers Award" and the "Best Actor Award of the Huabiao Award" for his successful performance in "Deng Xiaoping", plus the Golden Rooster Award of "Baise Uprising". Lu Qi became one of the few actors to win three Awards for Chinese cinema.
After that, he brought it to everyone with almost one film and television work per year, and dozens of works are the same actors who play a person, which is really rare to see.
Conclusion: It must be said that the reason why Lu qi can impress the audience is not only because he looks like Comrade Xiaoping; more importantly, his intentions for his acting career and his meticulous speculation on the behavior of great people. These honors are well deserved for him, and this is worth learning from many young actors in today's show business!
