<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > Li Xuejian: 26 years old won the plum blossom award, 36 years old won the "double shadow emperor", cancer for 5 years wife does not abandon</h1>
At the 14th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony, an actor held the trophy of the Best Actor Award and told his acceptance speech to the audience.
He said: Both bitterness and tiredness made a good man "Jiao Yulu" suffer, and fame and profit made a stupid boy Li Xuejian get it.
The person who said this sentence is the 36-year-old Li Xuejian who won the award for "Jiao Yulu".
Witty and humorous, but without losing respect for the heroic ancestors.
On the National Day of 2021, Li Xuejian once again appeared in the public's field of vision, and it was "Jiao Yulu" cast on the screen behind him.
Perhaps, in Li Xuejian's heart, Jiao Yulu is a hero, but in the hearts of the audience, Li Xuejian is by no means an ordinary "stupid boy".
At the age of 16, he was exposed to acting, at the age of 26 he won the Plum Blossom Award, and at the age of 36, he became popular all over the country with "Longing".
He is the "most expensive film emperor" and "priceless film emperor", a first-class actor who has filmed an advertisement and regretted it for a lifetime, and a "drama idiot" who has been tortured by cancer but is still struggling in the film and television career.
On February 20, 1954, Li Xuejian was born in a small county town in Heze, Shandong Province.
On that day, when the snow was heavy, his parents named him "Yukimi", but later, when his mother saw that her son was thin and small, she changed it to "Xuejian", hoping that his life would be healthy and healthy.
Ordinary family background, ordinary growth environment, no one could have imagined that this ordinary child would become a respected "big star" in the future.
At the age of 11, Li Xuejian followed his father to the third-line branch of Guizhou.
Originally a small one, he suddenly returned to an unfamiliar environment, and Li Xuejian was bullied by his classmates in school.
One day, he saw that the propaganda team was recruiting people, and in order to be respected by his classmates, he did not want to participate.
But after entering the propaganda team, Li Xuejian found that things were not so simple.
In addition to daily publicity, the propaganda team often shoots some dramas.
As a newcomer, after Li Xuejian entered the team, he was arranged to be a "clown" with little role and bad image.
With the role of "farmer" and some other different roles, Li Xuejian was deeply immersed in the different feelings brought by the stage.
It was the development period of the literary and artistic career, Li Xuejian fell in love with acting and embarked on the road of acting.
After graduating from school, Li Xuejian never thought about giving up whether he joined the work or entered the army.
Perhaps heaven's arrangement for Li Xuejian was to "sharpen a sword in ten years", until the age of 27, his first protagonist was late.
A corner set off waves, Li Xuejian was not proud, or as conscientious as usual.
Not long after, the director of the film "General Steel File" approached him, hoping that he could play the role of General Li Li.
Li Xuejian once again relied on super restoration to perfectly show the change of Li Li from 30 to 60 years old.
The film won the "Government Award" Outstanding Film Award, and Li Xuejian also successfully entered the Central Experimental Drama Theatre. With the successive appearance of works such as "Drum Book Artist", Li Xuejian has become famous in the industry.
In 1990, Li Xuejian's acting career reached a new climax.
The movie "Jiao Yulu" made him win the "Film Emperor", and the role of "Song Dacheng" in "Longing" became popular all over the country and won the "Best Actor" award of the Golden Eagle Award.
When invited to play "Jiao Yulu", Li Xuejian refused.
Because I am afraid that my other roles have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in case PK is not a TV drama version, it is not a shame.
In the end, it was the director Wang Jixing who insisted that he had to be, which was moved and pulled to the set.
When Jiao Yulu's family saw him, they did not feel that he had any similarities with Jiao Yulu.
Li Xuejian examined himself and thought that his body shape was not as emaciated as a farmer.
In order to "change" himself into Jiao Yulu, Li Xuejian was so hungry that he could not eat a small handful of melon seeds or boiled cabbage pads in water for two bites.
Basking in the sun during the day to create dark skin, staying up late at night to learn more about the character form according to the books.
Some people advised him that it was not worth it to break his body, but Li Xuejian said: After taking over this role, it is necessary to start the audience.
When the film began filming, Li Xuejian lost thirty pounds.
After the release of the movie, "Jiao Yulu" hit a super high box office of 130 million.
Although the numbers look small, in those days, a movie ticket cost only 3 cents.
There are no ads, just word of mouth.
Nor is it like people today, who have the economy and time to spend money to watch movies, let alone the main theme works related to the times.
The film was well received, Li Xuejian also got the "Double Material Film Emperor" stood on the podium, the sentence "Bitterness and tiredness have made Jiao Yulu suffer alone, but fame and profit have let a silly boy Li Xuejian get it", which can't help but make the audience wet the corners of their eyes.
After becoming famous for "Jiao Yulu", Li Xuejian was found by a manufacturer selling liver medicine.
The other party offered a super high price of 200,000 yuan, and only needed him to play the role of Jiao Yulu to walk by the river and take out the medicine box in the position of the liver.
At that time, Li Xuejian's salary for playing Jiao Yulu was only 6,000 yuan, and the salary for the fire series "Desire" was only 8,000 yuan, which was undoubtedly a sky-high price.
In the face of the temptation of money, Li Xuejian refused invariably, because advertisements can be received, but the money that insults the ancestors must not be earned.
Not long after, another advertiser came to the door.
Li Xuejian saw that this was an advertisement for a throat piece, and the advertising slogan "No sound, no matter how good the drama can not be performed" is not unreasonable, he took it.
And this has become the only commodity advertisement in Li Xuejian's life.
Two years after the advertisement was broadcast, Li Xuejian starred in the TV series "Hitchhiking the Wrong Car", in which he played "Dumb Sun Li" and punched himself in the face.
In an interview with reporters, he mentioned the advertising words of that year, "Don't you mean that no matter how good the sound is, you can't perform the best drama, how did you act in this dumb play?"
Li Xuejian was ashamed to be asked, and has since stopped receiving advertisements.
Several big hit dramas have been broadcast one after another, and Li Xuejian has completely become a front-line, and resources are overwhelmed.
But he did not take profit as the head, but cherished his feathers, and he would not roll for fame and fortune like the current stars.
This is also one of the reasons why the number of Li Xuejian's works is not too large.
In addition, Li Xuejian's body appeared to be sick, so that he rarely appeared in everyone's field of vision for a long time.
Before talking about Li Xuejian's body, let's first introduce the woman behind Li Xuejian, Yu Haidan.
Yu Haidan's family background is much superior to Li Xuejian's.
She was born into a Kochi family, and her aunt Yulan is a famous performing artist.
The cousin is also known as the most unique literary and artistic director in the fifth generation of directors, Tian Zhuangzhuang.
The two met in the Air Politics Repertory Theatre.
In 1982, the Air Politics Repertory Theatre filmed the TV series "Summer Experience", tian Zhuangzhuang was the director, Yu Haidan was the heroine, and Li Xuejian was only a poor dragon set actor with few roles.
According to the reason, the connection between Li Xuejian and Yu Haidan could not be beaten, but who made Li Xuejian an old and good man, and heaven always cared for good people.
The drama was filmed in the hot summer, and Li Xuejian moved the electric fan of his dormitory to the set in order to make the staff cooler a little, and he carried the high temperature to sleep.
As the heroine, Yu Haidan's role is very hard, Li Xuejian went to the alley for her to buy ice mung bean paste, and also packed it with a thermos bucket.
This careful approach left a deep impression on Haidan.
Once, Yu Haidan starred in a TV series that lacked an actor who played a "thief", and she thought of Li Xuejian.
But she forgot that the drama troupe forbade private work, and Li Xuejian agreed.
After the scene was filmed, Li Xuejian's private work was exposed and he was punished by the drama troupe.
Although he was invited by Haidan, he carried it himself and never mentioned her name.
Yu Haidan was very emotional after learning about this, and his feelings for Li Xuejian also changed.
In order to express his apologies, Yu Haidan invited Li Xuejian to watch the movie, and there were more private contacts, and the two secretly had feelings and came together.
And this walk is a lifetime.
In 1985, the husband and wife ushered in the crystallization of love, Yu Haidan saw that Li Xuejian's career was on the right track, so he decided to retreat behind the scenes and be the backing of her husband, so that he could develop his career without worries.
In an interview, a reporter asked Li Xuejian how he felt about success, and the first person Li Xuejian thanked was his wife.
"It was she who glowed my second artistic statement, and if it weren't for Haydan, I would have turned into a wisp of green smoke."
In 2000, Li Xuejian was filming "China Orbit".
He always felt that he had a small pimple on his nose and a very uncomfortable throat, but he thought it was a fire and did not pay attention to it.
Until one day, Yu Haidan visited the crew and found that her husband seemed to be unwell.
At this time, Li Xuejian was already difficult to swallow even water, and he had symptoms such as dizziness and nausea.
At the strong request of his wife, Li Xuejian followed her to the hospital for a series of examinations.
The results of the examination surprised everyone, and he actually had nasopharyngeal cancer.
Looking back, Li Xuejian felt afraid, if it were not for his wife forcibly dragging him to the hospital, this disease might have killed him.
After learning that Li Xuejian had cancer, the director of "China Orbit" advised him to treat his illness first before filming.
But Li Xuejian insisted on receiving conservative treatment and finished the scene.
He believes that the play has invested a lot of money and time, and if all the actors and crew are suspended for their own reasons, it will not work!
Yu Haidan also understood Li Xuejian's temper, so he stopped persuading him and followed him every day to treat him and remind him to take medicine.
When the last shot was taken, Li Xuejian could not hold on any longer, and his eyes went black and he fell.
Yu Haidan saw the situation and cried to support him from behind, and the group rushed him to the hospital.
The next day, Li Xuejian woke up and looked at his wife fixedly, and Yu Haidan did not make a sound.
Eyes facing each other, everything is in silence.
After a while, Li Xuejian slowly opened his mouth and said to Haidan apologetically: Thank you for letting me finish this play.
As soon as the words fell, Yu Haidan's tears couldn't help but slip from the corners of his eyes, and his hands were tightly clasped together.
Because of the large area of erosion in the mouth, Li Xuejian could hardly eat, even if it was liquid food, it would cause tingling pain, and the internal organs were as if they were about to shatter.
But if you don't eat the body, you will not be able to withstand the erosion of cancer and the treatment of drugs, so Li Xuejian mostly relied on the tube to deliver food to supplement nutrition during that time.
Sometimes it will be successful at once, and sometimes it will be spit out irritably when just fed.
At such times, his wife Yu Haidan would patiently encourage him to take his time.
Li Xuejian could survive the pain of treatment by willpower, but the expensive medical expenses overwhelmed him.
In a later show, a man raised questions about this, believing that Li Xuejian was the "most expensive actor" in the country, not only starring in many classic film plays, but also winning countless awards.
And the star's salary is notoriously high, how can it be hollowed out because of an illness?
Li Xuejian was not angry, but just said to him: You don't know my past.
Today's entertainment industry traffic is prevalent, after eating the dividends of the network, almost any Internet celebrity can earn a lot of money.
The difference between actors and stars lies in their work ethic and bottom line.
One is acting because of love, the other is acting for acting, how can this be compared?
Li Xuejian earned money to support his family, and his early film remuneration was not as impressive as it is now.
And the reason why he is called "priceless movie emperor" is also because many dramas want to invite him.
Even if invited, Li Xuejian will not charge a high salary, only take what he should take and can afford.
Because, Li Xuejian believes that although his work has been cured, the sequelae left behind still affect the shooting of his works.
He was slurred in his speech, and because of the scarcity of saliva, he often needed to drink water after saying a word or two.
Hearing degradation, without a hearing aid can not hear the opponent's lines, with a hearing aid will be exposed in the lens, he had to even memorize the other party's lines, and then judge the play according to the mouth type.
Therefore, Li Xuejian's later roles are less and less.
In his early sixties, he obviously has a good development in the show business circle, but because of illness, his physical state is close to eighty years old.
When filming the movie "Nineteen Forty-Two", Li Xuejian's role could only be regarded as a male supporting actor.
He once said: If it is not for physical reasons, I am willing to compete with any actor for the role of the old owner.
It is difficult to imagine that it is not possible to shoot a drama normally, and what a blow it should be for a drama addict who sees the drama as his destiny.
When Li Xuejian was at a low point in his thinking due to his sequelae, Yu Haidan often enlightened him and said to him: It is really not okay for me to raise you.
After taking a trip from the ghost gate, Li Xuejian understood the meaning of life, no longer wanted to work as hard as he once did, but more to accompany his family.
In recent years, the main theme of film and television works has gradually improved, Li Xuejian has also appeared in the works many times, even if the role is not much, he has been fiercely addicted.
In the 2021 National Day film "My Father and Me", Li Xuejian made a cameo appearance in the unit "Young Walk", although it was only two or three minutes of scenes, his hoarse voice and highly infectious performance made the audience cry.
Later, the official released the tidbits taken by teacher Li Xuejian, which deeply poked into the eyes of netizens.
Li Xuejian did not bring a hearing aid when filming the scene, causing the director to shout to start but he did not react.
Thinking that his delay in progress had caused NG, he hurriedly apologized and said: Sorry, I didn't hear it.
Even with a dry mouth, he insisted on reciting the lines in the most sonorous and powerful voice.
Shen Teng revealed in an interview that Teacher Li Xuejian would cough for a long time after performing a play, which made him feel sad.
And Li Xuejian's dedicated attitude has a far-reaching impact on the younger generations.
In 2016, at the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony, Hu Ge won the Most Popular Actor Award, and Li Xuejian's name was also included in the shortlist.
Because this award was voted by netizens, Hua Luo Hu Ge can also understand.
After announcing the winners, Hu Ge stood up and shook hands with Teacher Li Xuejian and said four words in his ear: Bear it.
Hu Ge is a popular star, his character reputation is first-class, and his acting skills are considerable and powerful, but he is "ashamed" to surpass Teacher Li Xuejian to win the trophy.
When the Film Association selected the C chairman, Li Xuejian was elected with a high vote, no one voted to question, and the famous international film star Jackie Chan stood up and applauded, and the respect was beyond words.
Huang Bo, who was in charge of the box office, once said that it was impossible to reach the point of Teacher Li Xuejian in a short period of time.
Because he was acting with bone and blood, that soul was firmly floating on that role.
Nowadays, young people are squeezing their heads and wanting to pour into the entertainment industry, and with the politics of the country, batches of young actors have been approved to step down.
If every actor can learn from Teacher Li Xuejian, then the development of the film and television circle cannot be underestimated, and there will be no more bad films "corpses everywhere".
Whether it is dedication to acting or single-mindedness to feelings, teacher Li Xuejian is the "ceiling" of the entertainment industry.
I hope that in the future, more actors can become a real "idol star" like him.
