Li Baotian, who became a household name star because of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", said that he would no longer cooperate with Zhang Guoguo and Wang Gang.
A stone set off a thousand waves, and he caused a fierce dispute among netizens.
That's not all, and in 2006 he filed a petition to take the film and television company of "Chincha Chancellor" to court.
"Drama bully" became his title, saying that he bullied new people and played big cards.
After that, the old drama bone that had not taken over advertising for more than thirty years disappeared.
Is it all his own fault, or is his reluctance to go along with it?
1 Loved opera since childhood, and ran away from home at the age of 13 in order to learn opera.
Li Baotian was born in Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province in 1946, the family conditions are not bad, his parents hope that he can seriously study and enter the university, and live an ordinary and happy life.
But Li Baotian was reluctant to do so.
He has had an unusual fascination with opera since he was a child, and his greatest pleasure every day is to crouch at the door of the theater to see if he can pick up other people's ticket stubs and go in to listen to the play.
Others were in class, but little Li Baotian was mixed in the adult pile and listened to the play with relish.
Such Li Baotian's academic performance can be imagined.
The teacher talked to Li Baotian's parents many times and asked them to educate their children, saying that Li Baotian did not put his mind on learning at all.
Because of this matter, his strict father educated Li Baotian again and again, but Li Baotian never changed.
His father's character was stubborn, and Li Baotian was even more stubborn, and even if he suffered more punishment, he never bowed his head and confessed his mistake.
Bluntly say that he has no interest in learning and wants to study drama.
My father's idea is that studying drama is not a regular business student, he can't support Li Baotian, and being admitted to a good university is the right way out.
Hearing this, he angrily threw the things in his hand and said, "If you want to learn drama, go, but don't come back after leaving this house, I don't have your son."
Li Baotian really did this.
That year, the Jiangsu Provincial Opera School and the Cultural Cadre School went to Xuzhou to enroll, and he ran alone to register and was admitted.
In this way, 13-year-old Li Baotian went to Nanjing alone to face his life without support and did not know the way forward.
2 The crew suffered a lot and did not give up, and the death of his father could not make him turn back.
In 1960, Li Baotian followed the troupe to Xuzhou and chose to learn to play clowns.
People around him expressed puzzlement about his decision, the clown is funny, the technical difficulty is high, why learn this?
Li Baotianren is not impressed by how the people around him say, he feels that the clown can bring happiness to people, as long as the audience laughs, his efforts are worth it.
The troupe is full of rural children, Li Baotian is the only urban hukou, and he is isolated because he is a little unsociable.
One person came, one person left, Li Baotian did not care about these.
In his life, only what he wants to do is valuable, and everything outside the body is dispensable.
But when people live in the world, some things can be ignored, and some things have to be cared for.
Winter is cold, no thick shoes to wear Li Baotian's feet are frostbite, take a step to hurt for a long time.
There was no hot water, he could only wash with cold and bone-chilling cold water, which was not to mention, the conditions of the troupe were simple, he could not remove his makeup, and his face was often stimulated by redness and itching.
Cotton was too expensive, and between the two layers of cloth on Li Baotian's bed was dried straw.
The uncle came to visit him, looked at such an environment, and sighed and wanted to make him admit his mistake and go home, but how could it be?
Li Baotian would rather suffer like this than give up, he is such a stubborn and persistent person.
It is the age of the body, the young boy's stomach is always empty, in order to fill the hunger he can only drink with cold water against the tofu milk.
Chronic malnutrition has reduced his immunity.
Li Baotian, who overdrew his body to practice, suffered from typhoid fever, a long-term fever, and when the fever subsided, he went to practice, tired and feverish.
In that era, typhoid fever was a serious disease, and if you were not careful, you would kill people.
During the day, it was normal, and at night Li Baotian lay alone in bed with his whole body swinging, without any consciousness.
The troupe leader, who noticed his anomaly, called his mother in many contacts and took him to the hospital.
At that time, Li Baotian was living in the ordinary ward, and not far inside was the high-cadre ward, where his father was lying.
But the two men were unaware of each other's existence.
Until one day Li Baotian was lying groggy on the bed, when he suddenly felt that someone was touching his arm.
He laboriously opened his eyes to see his father.
Without saying a word, the father just sighed in a low voice.
For a moment, Li Baotian could no longer control his mood, tears came out of his eyes, and the resentment and contradictions accumulated between father and son for many years disappeared in an instant.
When Li Baotian talked about this matter later, he still couldn't help but feel agitated in his heart and choked up irrepressibly.
"I stared at him, he turned and left, and I couldn't stop crying, it was the first time I'd seen my father in years since I was away from home."
Li Baotian knew that his father still wanted to return to the path of examination, as long as he insisted on the drama career for one day, the knot between father and son would still be there, but he looked at his father who silently put down the money and turned away, still did not open his mouth.
Later, his father died of illness, and Li Baotian returned home.
Attending his father's funeral, his heart was full of guilt for his father, but he did not waver in his decision.
The deceased is gone, and the living must still walk unswervingly.
3 Do not live up to the hard-hearted people, the acting career set sail, Li Baotian fire all over the country.
In 1978, Li Baotian, who was struggling to find a new goal in life, received the news that the Central Academy of Drama was going to hold a refresher course for directors and cadres.
This made Li Baotian full of energy for a while, although he was 32 years old at this time, he still decided to fight.
"I put all my strength into it, and I reviewed my homework day and night. I hardly slept properly during the week of the exam, and my whole body was numb and almost collapsed during the exam. ”
At this time, Li Baotian's original words, he is not a person who will shout bitterly and tired, a sentence that does not hurt or itch to make his efforts to be admitted to the Central Academy of Drama.
Lack of consciousness to the general numbness of the state, few people have experienced.
Kung Fu paid off, and he was accepted.
Li Baotian, who entered the Central Academy of Drama, completed his studies with excellent results with his own efforts.
He was appreciated by the school leaders and was able to stay on as a teacher.
After that, he starred in "Breaking into the Rivers and Lakes" and officially opened the door of the show business circle.
Li Baotian, who showed superb acting skills in the movie, was favored by Zhang Yimou, and partnered with the famous actor Gong Li to star in the movie "Ju Dou"
The film has been nominated for the Academy Award and the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, which shows its excellence.
If the film is a certification of Li Baotian's acting skills, the drama "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" will send Li Baotian's fame to the peak.
He, Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang have also become the iron triangle in the audience's mind because of this drama.
4 Li Baotian, who has a straight personality and an attitude towards art, was banned in the show business circle.
The TV series was on fire and the director naturally wanted to shoot a sequel, but Li Baotian actually refused.
He said the three would not cooperate again: "It is not good or bad, we are not compatible with each other's personalities."
In addition, if you have been playing a role, you will be framed in this role, and it is difficult to escape the audience's stereotype of the actor.
Li Baotian does not want his acting career to live in a certain role all the time, what he wants to do is to present a different life to the audience.
The director tried his best to persuade him to talk about the fame and benefits that this drama would bring him, and to say that there was a stake.
Li Baotian was not moved, and no one could change the decision he made.
After this, Li Baotian acted as the male protagonist in the drama "Divine Doctor Xi Laile", which is undoubtedly the childhood of one generation and the youth of another generation.
Li Baotian's popularity has reached a higher level, and he is no longer just the "Liu Luo pot" that people call it.
As the Hezhen Wang Gang in the drama "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", he has never been able to get rid of the identity of "Hezhen", on the one hand, his acting skills are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, on the other hand, he has not been able to get out of the influence of this role.
The fame is even greater, and Li Baotian's refusal to cooperate with Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang will inevitably be revived by the old matter.
If this incident caused a certain doubt about Li Baotian on the Internet, and the dissatisfaction of people in the show business circle with his personality, the next thing is the root of his disappearance.
In 2006, at the age of 60, Li Baotian participated in the TV series "Chincha Minister"
Originally scheduled to be a 30-episode TV series, the film and television company forced the show to be injected into 33 episodes.
The consultation was fruitless, and although Li Baotian had entered the flower armor, his mood was still so high.
In a fit of rage, he took the film and television company to court.
The lawsuit was won, the film and television company was punished, and Li Baotian also succeeded in becoming a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the film and television company.
Not only this company, Li Baotian's lawsuit has made all the film and television companies that have done similar things or want to do such things hate their teeth.
The existence of such actors in the industry is the nightmare of these film and television companies that want to profit from crooked ways.
Thirteen film and television companies decided to jointly ban Li Baotian after some deliberation.
5 Won the Lifetime Achievement Award, Li Baotian bluntly said that ning should also ensure quality as a drama bully.
Under the control of public opinion, Li Baotian's various crimes were listed in front of people.
"Because he was dissatisfied with the young actor's late arrival, he directly took up the rights in the hands of the director and deleted all the actor's scenes."
"Feel free to add drama, he is a drama bully!"
"In the crew, he is the boss, and the director's words are not taken seriously."
"Relying on myself to be an old artist, I acted in "Divine Doctor Xi Laile" and became famous in the crew, playing a big card!"
All kinds of rumors appear on the Internet.
Li Baotian, who was banned, lost his exposure and lost his right to speak, and he was powerless to defend and did not want to defend.
Without drama, he would play with his grandson at home, and his life would be unhappy.
In the face of media questions about his "drama bully", he said: "As long as the quality of the TV series is available, how about saying that I am a drama bully? The quality of the TV series is poor, and everything is in vain, the quality of the TV series is good, and I feel honored to say that I am a drama bully."
His heart never fit into the gossip of the media, he only went in the direction he wanted to go.
Do everything well, shoot every play well, no matter what others say, how to comment, as long as it is worthy of the audience, worthy of their own hearts.
Until the 2020 China Television Festival Golden Eagle Awards scene appeared his familiar figure.
As a veteran of more than thirty years, he received the Lifetime Achievement Television Artist Award.
A period of time passed, and there was a final conclusion.
His devotion was seen in the eye.
It has been so long since the incident, Li Baotian's stubbornness and indomitability have finally gained understanding, and this lifetime achievement award has received moving applause from all the actors present.
Standing on the podium, Li Baotian shaved off his silver hair, which means "starting from the beginning".
Whether it is looking back on the previous acting career, or whether it is right or wrong here in Li Baotian, there is no meaning.
There is no right or wrong in his dictionary, only forward.
epilogue:
People with such backbones are indispensable in all walks of life and even in various countries.
They may seem stubborn,
Maybe it's because not being sleek always inadvertently causes harm to the people around you.
But it is precisely because of this stubbornness, this lack of smoothness, that gives him the courage to stand up against the darkness.
It is precisely because of people with such courage that
Only then can the world get better and better.
It's like a beacon on the cold sea that is not diverted by wind and waves,
Even if it has a shell that looks cold and hard, it has an icy temperature
Seems so impersonal,
But they are still stubborn, stubborn, and illuminate the way forward for people's hearts.
