The honest and kind "Song Dacheng", who is honest and kind, the "Zhang Zuolin" who is also righteous and evil, laughing and angry, and the "Song Jiang" who is brave and strategic, and the city government is quite deep, these characters with different styles are all easily handled by one person.
He has had 33 film emperor titles in the more than 40 years of his debut, and Li Xuejian, the only "Grand Slam film emperor" in China.
It's just a pity that the hero is late, and even the best sword has a "blunt" time.
On October 4, the movie "My Father and Me" released a tidbit video.
In the video, Li Xuejian, dressed as a scientist, is listening intently to the director's instructions to start shooting.
However, due to hearing loss, although the staff had already shouted "start", Li Xuejian hesitated for a while and did not react.
After being reminded, he said "I'm sorry" to the staff with an apologetic voice, and quickly sorted out his expression to continue to participate in the shooting.
To tell the truth, seeing the scene where Teacher Li Xuejian said sorry, Sister Rice couldn't help but have a sour nose.
Since suffering from nasopharyngeal cancer in 2000, Li Xuejian has been suffering from pain, and although he has now survived the "five-year itch", his hearing and vocal cords have been seriously damaged.
Yu Hewei once recalled the scene when he and Li Xuejian were filming together:
"When filming, he often couldn't say his lines because there was no saliva in his mouth, so he had to ask the assistant to bring water in time, and he continued to shoot after he drank."
Li Xuejian's professionalism is not only reflected in the illness, he was also so conscientious before he got sick, even to the point of "not crazy devils can not live".

Li Xuejian spent his childhood in the mountains of Guizhou, where information was closed and transportation was inconvenient, and the only thing that could bring him some fun was the occasional performance of the propaganda team.
Looking at the spirit of the actors on the stage, Li Xuejian was really envious in his heart, and he looked for opportunities everywhere, hoping to enlist as a literary and artistic soldier.
Perhaps it was the love of God, when he was 19 years old, he went to Yunnan to join the army, and 3 years later received a notice to enter Beijing and turn positive.
"When I heard that I could settle in Beijing, I was so happy in my heart!"
Li Xuejian could not contain the joy in his heart and hurriedly told the good news to the neighbors, but within a few days he was told that the matter was yellow, on the grounds that "there was not enough place in the regiment."
Who is not annoyed by this?
Just when he was at a loss, several air administration leaders came to him and said that they could arrange for Li Xuejian to enter the air politics cadet class, but there was no guarantee that he would stay 100 percent, and if he did not pass the examination, he would still have to leave.
How could Li Xuejian, who had already lost an opportunity, let the opportunity slip away again?
Therefore, he got up every day before dawn to clean, and in order to perform well, he even hid the broom in the regiment under the mattress and slept with the broom every day.
In addition, he also scribbled everywhere to learn, and wrote down the large and small acting knowledge points in the small book, and then digested them well.
In 1978, Li Xuejian was successfully admitted to the Central Experimental Drama Theatre, and two years later received a notice to rehearse the drama "The 913 Incident".
At that time, the troupe did not first set Li Xuejian as the male number one, but only because the important actors in the troupe were not there, it was only considered to let him play.
In order to play the weak feeling of this "great general", Li Xuejian lost more than 20 pounds in just one month, and shaved his good hair into a "yin and yang head".
Usually, he would go to the courtyard to pace, thinking about the character's movements and mental processes while walking, and carrying a handful of soybeans in his pocket every day, which was simply the character himself.
On the day of the official performance, the audience watched his performance without being surprised.
It is said that Liu Shaoqi's wife, Wang Guangmei, was sad and indignant for a while and could not sustain herself, and even refused to shake hands with Li Xuejian during the condolence session, which was both ridiculous and respectable to think.
If this drama allows Li Xuejian to finally be "seen", then the TV series "Longing" is the moment when he really blooms.
The "Song Dacheng" in the play is honest and generous, and is the most ideal marriage partner in the audience's mind at that time.
There is a saying that goes, "When you marry a wife, you should marry Liu Huifang, and when you marry someone, you should marry Song Dacheng." ”
Although "Song Dacheng" is only a supporting role in the play, Li Xuejian carefully sums up the experience and strives to play this role well and add luster to the whole play.
Someone once asked him what happiness was, and Li Xuejian replied:
"Every day there is a box lunch to eat, and if there is a box lunch, it means that there is a drama, and the day when there is a drama is very happy."
Just think, how can such a dedicated and enthusiastic person not act well?
Released at the same time as "Longing", there was also the movie "Jiao Yulu" starring him.
Before filming, Li Xuejian has been hesitant to act, he is afraid that his PK is not "TV drama version of Jiao Yulu", and the second is afraid that his image is not accepted by the audience.
Later, at the invitation of director Wang Jixing, he agreed to enter the group to shoot.
In order to "be good" Jiao Yulu, Li Xuejian drank clear soup and water during the day, and studied the characters according to books and materials at night.
This time and two, he actually lost more than 30 pounds!
After the release of the film, the praise was overwhelming, in that era when the ticket price was only 3 cents, "Jiao Yulu" actually sold 130 million at the box office, and he himself won the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor, becoming a veritable "double film emperor".
At the award ceremony, Li Xuejian held the trophy in his hand, looked at his peers under the lookout, and his eyelids quickly drooped, "Bitterness and tiredness have made Jiao Yulu suffer alone, but fame and profit have let a stupid boy Li Xuejian give it." ”
How can such a humble person not be admired?
Li Xuejian has played a positive character, and naturally can also control the topic role of both good and evil.
When shaping the "Song Jiang" in "Water Margin", in order to show the character's foolishness and cowardice to the imperial court, he deliberately added a "pouting ass and kneeling" action to the scene of Zhao'an, and the character stood up at once.
Many people say that Li Xuejian has filmed countless classic dramas for many years, and if he talks about film remuneration, he should have earned enough to earn a hundred million!
In fact, his superb acting skills are not rare for him to be famous and wealthy, he never prides himself on asking for credit because of his fame, and even has a feeling of "fear of avoiding" money.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="49" > only shoots one commercial in his life and rejects the Magnolia Award</h1>
Li Xuejian has created countless classic images and is a well-deserved old drama bone.
However, he has only made one commercial in his life, and this advertisement has become his eternal "heartache".
After the fire of "Jiao Yulu", some manufacturers found Li Xuejian and said that they were willing to pay a high price of 200,000 yuan to ask him to shoot liver drug advertisements.
The other party's request is very simple, Li Xuejian only needs to dress up as Jiao Yulu and walk by the river, cover his liver with pain while walking, and then take advantage of the situation to sell liver medicine.
What was the concept of 200,000 at that time?
According to Li Xuejian himself, his original salary for filming "Jiao Yulu" was only 6,000 yuan, and the price of shooting the serial drama "Desire" was only 8,000 yuan, and the advertising fee of 200,000 yuan was undoubtedly a huge amount for him.
However, Li Xuejian did not agree, he did not want to "insult" the ancestors for this little money.
Not long after, another advertiser came to the door.
The other party wants him to make an endorsement for the throat tablets he produced, and Li Xuejian only needs to say the line "Without a sound, even the best drama can't come out".
Li Xuejian thought to himself, this advertising content itself is very normal, and there is nothing wrong with the product, "Just agree to him." ”
After filming the advertisement, he continued to enter the group to shoot the scene, and a few years later starred in the TV series "Hitchhiker" in the "Dumb Sun Li", bringing a tear-jerking drama to the audience.
After the TV series was broadcast, a reporter came to the scene, and the other party found out Li Xuejian's advertising words that year and asked him, "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 and embarrassed after hearing this, and vowed not to shoot any commercials again.
Refusing to accept the advertisement because of a sentence from a reporter not only reflects his love of feathers, but also highlights the stubbornness of his character.
Li Xuejian not only "stubbornly" with advertising fees, but also "screwed up" with the Magnolia Award.
In 2015, the 21st Magnolia Awards announced the list of nominations, and netizens found that Li Xuejian, who should have been among them, was "excluded" by the judges.
For a time, public opinion was everywhere.
At the same time, Li Xuejian's wife Ding Haidan also "complained" for her husband, saying that the organizers of the Magnolia Award owed Li Xuejian a statement and hoped that the other party would treat all actors fairly.
Afterwards, Magnolia was forced to respond hastily under pressure and "supplemented" Li Xuejian with a so-called "outstanding contribution award".
Unexpectedly, Li Xuejian not only did not accept this award, but also publicly stated that he was just an ordinary actor, and he had long looked down on the confusion of fame and fortune.
In fact, this matter does not complain about Mrs. Li's madness.
Li Xuejian in the award for the work "Hey! The performance in "The Old Man" is really amazing, the film's rating is even as high as 8.1 points, but he did not even have a nomination, which is really difficult to convince the public.
But then again, Li Xuejian has won all kinds of awards in his life, big and small, is there still a magnolia award to prove himself?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="73" > conclusion</h1>
In fact, real artists do not need any fame and fortune to do embellishment, they stand there, in itself is a wall of merit.
Hu Ge once went to Li Xuejian's ear at the moment he learned that he had won the Golden Eagle Award, "I am ashamed of it." ”
When the Film Association selected the C chairman, Li Xuejian was elected with a high vote, and Jackie Chan, who was sitting in the audience, stood up and applauded respectfully after knowing it;
Huang Bo said that Li Xuejian was acting with bone and blood, and the whole soul was floating on the role.
These praises and praises are not only praises for Li Xuejian's professionalism, but also questions about the current chaos in the show business circle.
I hope that he can have more "Li Xuejian" come out after that and continue to contribute to the construction of the Chinese film industry!
