When he was a child, his main job was to carry a basket on his back to the railway every day to collect coal blocks.
I never thought that one day I would get involved in show business.
He has been filming for ten years but still has hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.
He is the actor Li Jiaming.
Some time ago, actor Li Jiaming was on the hot search because of the matter of 100,000 IOUs.
He exposed himself to acting for many years but has not yet paid off the arrears, which caused an uproar in the entertainment industry for a time.
It is easy to know that it is easy to make money as an actor, but Li Jiaming has been filming for many years but he has not been in arrears of 100,000 yuan.
Born in 1983, Li Jiaming is a native of Yuncheng, Shanxi.
When I was a child, my only hobby was to draw, and sometimes I shut myself in the house and paint all day.
With this momentum, he was admitted to a local art school and prepared to study professional painting.
Once, he was fascinated by the performances of actors on school television, and he realized that acting could be so interesting.
I dream that one day I can also stand on the stage and act.
He graduated from high school in 2001 and embarked on the North Drift train with the pursuit of his dreams.
I bought books about acting, and whenever I had time, I would follow the actors on TV to imitate them.
Perhaps due to fate, he starred in the first TV series "My Life" by chance.
Although it is only an inconspicuous supporting role, it also allows more people to see his efforts, not to mention that he is very excited to see such big names as Zhang Guoli and Li Chengru.
Two years later, he starred in the three ugly generals in "Li Wei Dang Guan 2", but he was still a supporting role. He thought to himself, as long as he can act.
In 2006, he participated in the anti-war drama "Ten Days of Life and Death" starring He Bing, and gained face familiarity with the small miners in the play, but still no one remembered him.
What really makes the audience remember him and fall in love with him is the "Chinese Brothers Company" starring, although it is a supporting role, the image of the monkey he plays is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the audience begins to really understand him.
It was after this drama that he began his anti-war career, and he was also affectionately known as the "Little Prince of the War of Resistance".
In 2009, he cooperated with Zhu Yawen in "Sorghum Is Red";
In 2010, he cooperated with Wang Xinjun in "Anti-Japanese Strange Hero";
"Chinese Cavalry Company" with Wang Lei in 2011;
Although he is not the protagonist of every drama, his tough guy image and his acting skills have become lingering memories in the audience's minds.
Zhang Ailing once said that "to become famous, you must be early."
But for him, he was either running the dragon suit or on the way to running the dragon suit.
Ten years after his debut, he ran the dragon set for ten years, he didn't care, as long as the acting could be worthy of the audience and worthy of his conscience, he would be satisfied.
There is a saying: You just have to work hard, and the rest is left to Providence.
2012 was an important year in his life, and he once again starred in the anti-war drama "The Ultimate Mission" with the image of a tough guy.
Only this time he is no longer a supporting role, but a male protagonist, of course, this is also his first time as a male protagonist.
2014 was a year of his harvest, this year he filmed three anti-war dramas in a row, and his simple image, thick smile and good acting skills made him the main force of anti-war dramas.
In 2015, he had the idea of transformation, he felt that as a good actor, he had to learn to broaden his own drama path, so he starred in the love movie "Rape Blossom", which made people see a different sunshine big boy.
Li Jiaming, who came from a poor background, changed the family situation little by little by his own efforts, and just when he dreamed of leaving his own strong mark on the stage of the performance, a bad news struck him.
His father was sick and hospitalized, he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, and he spent all his savings to save his father.
However, his father's illness required a large amount of medical expenses every day, so he had to borrow 100,000 yuan from his friend Cuckoo.
Seeing that his father's health was getting worse every day, and even eating became a problem, Li Jiaming decided to give up his acting job and return to his hometown to take care of his father.
In order to make his father happy, Li Jiaming will often do some funny actions to make his father happy. In this way, the bits and pieces of father and son are recorded.
Just some time ago, the picture of Li Jiaming eating a table in his hometown once again became a hot topic of people's discussion.
Only to see that when Li Jiaming was preparing to pack a meal with a plastic bag in the picture, the women at the same table also had this intention, and the two people also competed.
Funny at the same time, more is sorry, we all know that as an actor is bright and beautiful, I did not expect that the actor has such an unpleasant side.
Li Jiaming once said that as a small actor, his income is minimal.
It was revealed that the income from filming in 2018 was less than 30,000 yuan.
In 2019, although the film salary has risen, it is also facing salary arrears, and the money in his hands is only 50,000 or 60,000 yuan every year.
Even later, when it came to the point of asking for a salary, it was fruitless, and the road fare was thousands.
Today, he also has to bear the expensive medical expenses of his father.
North drift for more than ten years, but still can not afford to buy a car and buy a house, the heartache of which may only be understood by those who have experienced it.
In the end, his father still could not bear the torture of illness and left, and in the face of his father's departure, Li Jiaming felt that the mountain in his heart had fallen. But this has become a fact that cannot be changed.
We all know that there was a very serious flood disaster in Henan this summer, and the stars have donated money for Henan, and Li Jiaming, as an actor, has also participated in it.
From the donation certificate, it can be seen that Li Jiaming donated 50 million yuan. For a time, it triggered ridicule and insults from netizens.
Seeing these insults, he chose to tell his truth, unsuccessfully asked for a salary, coupled with his father's expensive medical expenses, this 5,000 yuan is already his last savings.
Although the money was minimal, he had done his best.
The actors Zhang Guoguo, Li Chengru and Xu Zheng, who first cooperated with him, have now become A-list stars and excellent old drama bones.
Later, the actors Zhu Yawen, Zhang Ruoyun and Mao Xiaotong have also become the king of traffic and become popular stars.
Compared with Li Jiaming's current situation, it is a little miserable, but he did not complain about the unfairness of fate, did not give up, and still worked hard in the show business circle.
Now Li Jiaming has played a short video platform and finally paid off his debts by his own efforts, but the content he shoots is his own life, full of simplicity and truth.
At the same time, it also publicizes the specialties and delicacies of the hometown, solves the difficulties of more farmers, and also allows more families to get out of the crisis.
Acting for decades he has played countless supporting roles, and he has also been recognized by people with supporting roles, hoping that in the future, he can work hard to move forward and create better roles.
