That day, I revisited the old movie "Blessing" filmed by Beijing Film Studio in 1956, and when I saw Li Jingbo, an old actor who played Lu Si in it, I felt that this actor was so just right in terms of both his sense of proportion and the grasp of the rhythm, and portrayed a foolish and hypocritical old warlock to life.
In fact, Li Jingbo not only played Lu Si well, but also his other roles were also very successful. For example, Wang Jishan in "Always Harming Humanity", Old Uncle Hai in "A Proposal", The Enemy Commander in "Nu Hai Light Horse", Cui Xizheng in "Tiger's Den Tracking", oh yes, and Niu Section Chief in "Before the Arrival of the New Director".
Although most of them are supporting roles, they can be unforgettable. His acting talent was fully demonstrated.
I think the biggest feature of Li Jingbo's performance is that he can accurately portray the inner psychology of the characters through some small external actions. I remember most of his scenes in "Tiger's Den Tracking", and the treatment of details can't help but make people applaud. For example, when he found that the scroll containing the list of secret agents had been moved, the frowning action was simply an instinctive reaction, and the cunning gaze betrayed his treacherous heart. I think he is not acting at all, and he is the head of the secret service himself, "Choi Hee-jeong".
There is also Li Laochuan in "Children's Affair", a character completely different from Cui Xizheng, an authentic old peasant in the countryside, trying to arrange his daughter's marriage, and of course failed in the end. But Li Jingbo's performance in it is quite vivid, especially when The wife Of Li, played by Di Li, reminds him that his daughter's affair is best to consult with his daughter Xiulan, he turned his face and said without anger: You are a woman and a Taoist family, it is trouble, what do you discuss with her? At once, the image of a strict father who said nothing at home was portrayed.
What is acting like? I think that's it.
Not every actor can do that.
I have seen many old movies in which Li Jingbo participated, in which he basically played supporting roles, usually not much, and some of them were flashing dragon sets, but Li Jingbo could shape them into different looks, which showed his outstanding acting talent.
And why can Li Jingbo do this? I think the most important reason is the word "serious".
This actor, he was serious all his life.
In October 1913, Li Jingbo was born in Linqing, Shandong. He has loved art since he was a child, not only performing, but also painting. In 1935, he joined the Chinese travel theater troupe organized by Tang Huaiqiu in Beiping. Speaking of this Chinese travel agency, it is really remarkable, it is not only China's first professional drama troupe, but also the cradle of early Chinese film actors, many familiar movie stars such as Bai Yang, Shi Hui, Lan Ma, Xiang Kun, Tao Jin, Sun Jinglu, Shu Xiuwen, Lin Moyu, Sun Daolin, etc. were once the pillars of the stage here. Therefore, Li Jingbo can enter it, which is also a very fortunate thing.
But initially he didn't even qualify for power. Why? Because his Mandarin is not good, there is a "smell of green onions" as soon as he reads his lines. So he could only do chores in the troupe, paint sets and so on. But Li Jingbo is a person with a heart, and in order to realize his dream of becoming an actor, it is really an old nose kung fu. When others perform on stage, he concentrates on figuring out and recording, figuring out how others perform, and recording the looks of their lines. And when others rested, he held the script and recited the words, practicing Mandarin until he could meet the standards of the performance.
Just as the so-called "kung fu pays off", I think, God must have seen Li Jingbo's efforts and diligence. So once, when the troupe was preparing to perform "Thunderstorm", the actor who played Lu Gui suddenly fell ill and could not take the stage. This just provides a perfect opportunity for Li Jingbo. Just when Tang Huaiqiu was at a loss, Li Jingbo volunteered that he could try. I think that at that time, Tang Huaiqiu must have held the idea of "a dead horse as a living horse doctor", and had no choice but to agree to this request. But at the same time, I was fully prepared to let people telegraph Li Jingbo on the side curtain. But I didn't expect that Li Jingbo didn't need a teleprompter at all, and played Lu Gui vividly, which made Tang Huaiqiu happy, and decided at the moment that Lu Gui's role would be played by him later.
Therefore, if a person wants others to agree with you, you must first be able to prove yourself.
Li Jingbo's seriousness is also reflected in his attitude towards art. In the troupe, he was best friends with Lan Ma and Xiang Kun, who were all young and their acting skills were still young and immature, so the opportunities to perform were also limited. But they are not discouraged, and they must rely on their own efforts to fight a road. And they also supervise each other, and if anyone is not serious in rehearsing the performance, the other two people will ignore him. Once The Blue Horse delayed the performance, Li Jingbo and Xiang Kun really ignored him, making the Blue Horse deeply realize his mistake.
I think it was this seriousness that led them to become real performing artists.
Compared with Lan Ma and Xiang Kun, Li Jingbo's weakness lies in his small size and unassuming appearance, which is actually a very unpleasant thing for actors, especially drama actors. So later Li Jingbo was always assigned to play a supporting role, which I think is the most important reason.
But even so, he never neglected any of his roles. Whether it is a positive character or a negative character, as long as it is handed over to him, he will make himself a "person in the play".
Li Jingbo began acting in movies in 1939, and successively played roles in films such as "Lonely Island Paradise", "Ten Thousand Miles of Future", "Splendid Future", "Song of Exile", "Beauty Plan", "Green Blood And Thousand Autumns" and other films, showing his talent of wide drama and superb acting skills.
After the founding of New China, he first worked as an actor in the Beijing Film Studio, and then went to Changchun and became a film actor in the Changying Film Studio. On the screen, he created a series of old man figures and villain roles, which are still fresh in people's minds. Among them, the chief of the cattle section in "Before the Arrival of the New Director" should be one of his most memorable roles for the audience. Through exaggerated and humorous but unconventional performances, he portrays a bureaucrat who flatters his superiors and ultimately is ugly. Until now, it has been unforgettable.
I think it is precisely because of Li Jingbo's excellent performance. So in 1956, in the "Your Favorite Film Actor" selection activity organized by Beijing Daily, Li Jingbo's name was actually among them, and Bai Yang, Zhang Liang, Guo Zhenqing, Wu Chufan and other people ranked together, and he ranked third, before Guo Zhenqing (Guo Zhenqing ranked fifth), which shows that at that time, he was more loved by the audience than Guo Zhenqing.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and in 1957, Li Jingbo was wrongly classified as a rightist and forced to interrupt his acting career, and together with Zhang Ying and others, he was sent to the Northern Wilderness. However, even in such a difficult environment, he did not give up his artistic pursuit, but insisted on his dreams by "making fun in pain".
Because of years of fatigue, when Li Jingbo was in his 40s, his teeth were almost all gone. He couldn't bite the ice corn ballast in the Northern Wilderness, so when he "improved the diet" and ate the steamed buns, he would take two more steamed buns and put them in his nest. As a result, he was denounced, so he was "ugly" in front of everyone.
Only to see the steward ask him: "Li Jingbo, why do you want to steal steamed buns?" ”
He said unhurriedly, "I didn't steal, but everyone saw it." ”
"Why don't others take it?"
"Because my teeth are not good and I can't eat ice ballast, I will take more steamed buns."
"What is your behavior?" Why specialize? ”
"I'm working better, I'm not specializing."
"You are even so cunning, I want you to come to the front of the line to 'take pictures' and see where your face is."
As a result, Li Jingbo said: "Taking pictures" is "taking pictures", anyway, everyone knows that I am a "toothless person". In a word, everyone wanted to laugh and could only endure desperately, but it was really bad.
But Li Jingbo's optimistic and humorous personality can be seen.
Later, many people who were delegated with Li Jingbo returned to their original units, such as Zhang Ying, who also returned to the North Film Studio after much trouble, and also participated in the movie "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", shaping the image of Luo Jinbao. But Li Jingbo stayed in the northeast. In the most difficult days, he also participated in the creation of scripts such as "The Wild Man of the North", but did not sign it. Later, he was finally rehabilitated and arranged to work as a consultant at the Heilongjiang Art Research Institute.
In his later years, he was in poor health, half paralyzed, and suffered from severe heart disease. On March 21, 1981, the veteran artist quietly left this world at the age of 68.
In this life, Li Jingbo has been very serious, acting seriously, and being a serious person, on the screen, the character images he has created are so vivid and vivid, I think it is the result of seriousness. However, this serious person did not have a few good days. The fate is uncertain, the health is not good, and it is also lamentable to say.
But I wonder if you remember this performing artist? Do you remember the characters he used to portray in old movies? Welcome to interact with more netizens through the message area. I am Yaqing, and once again I would like to thank everyone for their attention, likes and sharing, which is the greatest encouragement to me. We'll see you tomorrow at the same time.
