In 1991, when Wang Fulin filmed "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", someone recommended an actor surnamed Li to him to play Cao Cao, and Wang Fulin was very satisfied with this person. Speaking of which, let him try the play.
Unexpectedly, the actor surnamed Li played a big card: "If you want to use it, you can directly act, and I will not act in the audition." ”
I haven't played such a big card before I acted, if I shoot half of the big card strike, then I have to do it!
Wang Fulin was extremely angry and yelled, "Let him roll for me!" ”
Unexpectedly, this unexpectedly made Bao Guoan.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is one of the four famous works in the mainland, depicting the story of the flock of heroes chasing deer from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, full of heroic pride and many fans.
That year, CCTV and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television decided to put this famous work on the screen. The relevant responsible persons voted together, and finally chose Wang Fulin, the director who had filmed "Dream of the Red Chamber", as the director.
When the leader told Wang Fulin the news, Wang Fulin was surprised and happy.
After all, the "Dream of the Red Chamber" he directed was a story about the love of children, and the style of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was still very different.
Moreover, at that time, he did not have in-depth research on the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and was not at all sure.
However, he was very grateful for the trust of the leadership and expressed his willingness to try it.
For the sake of prudence, Wang Fulin spent a year studying the script, and found 5 high-level episode directors to shoot at the same time.
Since then, the first thing that has borne the brunt of it is the problem of casting actors.
Wang Fulin set a rule:
"The seven leading actors must be unanimously approved by 6 directors."
"Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang, the two actors, must be interviewed in person."
From this rule, it can also be seen that Wang Fulin attaches great importance to casting.
In fact, it is said that it is Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang, even if it is the role of Sima Yi, Wang Fulin attaches great importance to it.
At that time, there were several actors running for the role of Sima Yi.
However, they either look too young, or their looks are too different from the historical Sima Yi, or their acting skills are insufficient, and Wang Fulin does not look at any of them.
Later, Zhang Jizhong recommended Wei Zongwan, and Wang Fulin also agreed.
However, Wei Zongwan believed that he was an honest man and was not suitable to play the role of Sima Yi, an old traitor.
In the end, it was Zhang Jizhong who asked the master to paint an image of Sima Yi, ran to Wei Zongwan's home, told him that their images were too similar, and finally persuaded Wei Zongwan to play this role.
The casting of Sima Yi is not easy, and it is conceivable that the two roles of Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao are not easy to go anywhere.
At that time, Wang Fulin wanted Tang Guoqiang to play Zhuge Liang.
However, Tang Guoqiang's creamy image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the other 5 directors are not optimistic about this proposal.
In the end, Wang Fulin took out photos and videos of Tang Guoqiang's audition, and several other directors approved of Wang Fulin's proposal.
It was not easy for the role of Zhuge Liang to be fixed, and the role of Cao Cao has gone through twists and turns.
At that time, someone recommended an actor surnamed Li to Wang Fulin to play Cao Cao.
This actor has fame, good acting skills, and the image is in line, and Wang Fulin is very satisfied, saying that he will let him try the play.
Unexpectedly, the actor surnamed Li played a big card:
"If you want to use it, you can directly act, and I won't act in the audition."
If you really let him start acting and shoot half of the big card strike, then you have to do it!
Subsequently, Wang Fulin found a lot of actors, but none of them satisfied him.
Suddenly, one day, Wang Fulin patted his head:
"How did I forget him?"
Wang Fulin is talking about actor Bao Guoan.
Bao Guoan once starred in song Jiang in the Shandong version of "Water Margin", and his acting skills were outstanding. At that time, he was working as a teacher in Chinese opera.
Wang Fulin immediately called Bao Guoan:
"Teacher Bao, do you have a schedule, I would like to invite you to play the role of Cao Cao in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"."
When Bao Guoan received a call from Wang Fulin, he was simply flattered.
Such a big director actually called himself personally and let himself play such an important role!
After the two chatted for a while, Wang Fulin personally went to Bao Guoan's house, and after the two talked for less than an hour, Wang Fulin felt:
The role of Cao Cao is none other than Bao Guoan!
After returning to the crew, Wang Fulin told the other 5 directors about the proposal to let Bao Guoan play Cao Cao, which was unanimously affirmed.
It turns out that Wang Fulin did not look at the wrong person.
Bao Guoan is indeed a good actor to be trusted.
After Bao Guoan received the script, he devoted all his time and energy to the study of the script.
He asked experts about Cao Cao's life, and even asked everyone " in your heart, what is Cao Cao like" these are the norms.
After that, Bao Guoan finally knew the role of Cao Cao very well.
Not only that, for every detail, Bao Guoan is also striving for excellence.
In the play, there is a scene that is a laugh after the Battle of Chibi, and on this scene, he constantly speculates, and even studies it for half a month, and finally has a way to express himself satisfactorily.
In addition, Bao Guoan's willpower is also commendable.
At that time, the shooting conditions were extremely difficult. It is common for actors to run out of food.
It is said that Sun Yanjun, Lu Shuming, and Li Jingfei would go to the fields to eat corn because they were hungry, or go home to improve their food.
However, Bao Guoan did not.
In a difficult environment, he still guarded his character.
In order to better integrate into the role, he also became one of the resident actors of the crew. It can be said that the will is very firm.
In the end, because of Bao Guoan's intentions, the role of Cao Cao was brilliantly interpreted by him.
After the play was broadcast, it spread all over the country.
Bao Guoan also won the Feitian and Golden Eagle Awards for Double Actor awards with the role of Cao Cao.
Come to think of it, if the actor surnamed Li did not play a big card, maybe this honor would be his, and his career would definitely be more brilliant.
Humility is an underrated virtue.
Sometimes, it's too far from opportunity, but it's just because you don't know how to be humble. #I want to make micro headlines# The picture originates from the network, invaded and deleted.
