"Love Man Courtyard", formerly known as "Silly Pillar", is a famous Jingweier TV series.
When filming "Silly Spring", director Liu Jiacheng suddenly had an outbreak of inspiration and decided to shoot a male version of the sequel, but the investors were not optimistic, he had to curve to save the country and shoot "Under the Gate of Zhengyang", the result was very good, and "Silly Pillar" was put back on the agenda.
However, from the preparation to the start of filming, this drama still encountered many difficulties, and the biggest contradiction was the casting and theme.
Investors hope to use young and small fresh meat, after all, the traffic is in charge, the market is guaranteed. At the same time, he believes that the Beijing flavor is too strong, which may not be accepted by the audience in the south, and hopes to balance the script to achieve the north-south all-you-can-eat.
However, Liu Jiacheng disagreed, insisting on using a batch of "non-first-line" old drama bones, while striving to maintain the original taste of Beijing and never making any modifications.
Facts have proved that Liu Jiacheng's insistence is correct, and "Love Man Courtyard" has become popular all over the country as soon as it is launched without any promotion, and has become a "next meal drama" that everyone can't get tired of watching.
Now that 7 years have passed, how are these old actors in the play doing?
1. Silly Pillar (He Bing)
He Bing and Liu Jiacheng knew each other very early, and when He Bing made his first film in 1993, Liu Jiacheng was a martial arts director and had a very good impression of him.
Later, when writing the script, I consciously or unconsciously leaned on his image and wanted to find him as the male number one.
However, the investor was unwilling, thinking that He Bing was a bit ugly, and after the failure to recommend small fresh meat, he recommended the big handsome brother Chen Daoming. Liu Jiacheng felt that Chen Daoming was too decent to play the slippery tone of the oil cavity, and he still loved He Bing.
The two met in a tavern, and the contract was finalized in 10 minutes, and Liu Jiacheng was particularly excited after going out: "I didn't look at the wrong person, crisp, atmospheric, typical Beijing grandfathers."
He Bing really did not live up to his trust, performed the essence of the silly pillar, and seemed to often do "stupid things", in fact, he was smarter than anyone.
Qin Huairu was an orphan and widow, and her life was not good, and the stupid pillar let her take advantage of her "stupidity", in fact, he wanted to help her.
The deaf old lady and the eldest grandfather had no heirs, and the stupid pillar "made a fool" to send them to the end of their pension. Even later, the elderly in the whole hospital were not supported, and he took out all his savings to open a nursing home, regardless of the previous suspicions.
The fool is not stupid, but too kind, he never calculates others, does not guard against others, but he will repay the revenge.
Xu Damao was overly shrewd, and the calculating man never made a mistake, but he never won under the hands of the stupid pillar, and he "lost his wife and folded the soldiers" again and again.
He Bing ate this role very thoroughly, and the acting was real and vivid.
Silly pillar does not have an absolute "great light", everything is just and awe-inspiring, he also has a bad side, big things are not confused, small things are not serious, especially flesh and blood, as if they really exist.
Through this drama, He Bing also embarked on the peak of his career, winning the Magnolia and Feitian Awards in one fell swoop, and only one Golden Eagle Award was missing to achieve a grand slam of three awards.
Today, He Bing is still active in the film and television circle, has starred in many TV series, and is recognized as a good actor by everyone.
2. Qin Huairu (Hao Lei)
Hao Lei is the first actor signed by Liu Jiacheng.
When filming "My Second Brother and Second Sister-in-Law" before, Liu Jiacheng felt that Hao Lei's acting was particularly explosive, so he threw an olive branch to her.
Hao Lei actually does not take on TV dramas much, but she was attracted by the script at once, and as a Jilin native, she also deliberately learned a Beijing film.
Qin Huairu was not popular at first. In order to support 3 children, she often rubbed silly pillars of cheapness.
Obviously, the two looked at each other correctly, but they pretended to introduce the object to the stupid pillar, and secretly engaged in a small destruction, which was quite annoying.
As the plot unfolds, Qin Huairu's advantages are gradually tapped.
She is as kind as Silly Pillar, and may be a little selfish to the small family, but she is not ambiguous in major matters, enthusiastically helps the neighbors, and finally even bears the burden of taking care of the elderly in the hospital, which is very remarkable.
Compared with He Bing's "stupidity" as always, Hao Lei's role is more complicated. Initially helpless, then stoic, and finally great love, whether it is the temperament or the inner world, she has been vividly and vividly interpreted, fully showing the growth process of a woman.
In the play, Hao Lei remarried and reaped a happy ending, but in reality it was not so beautiful, she has experienced two failed marriages, and has been raising a pair of twin sons alone so far, hoping that she will find happiness as soon as possible.
3. Lou Xiao'e (Wei Xiaojun)
Lou Xiao'e is one of everyone's favorite characters, and many people beat their chests and regret that she did not marry Silly Pillar.
Many people have said that if Lou Xiao'e did not appear in the later stage, the stupid pillar was estimated to be worse than the deaf old lady.
Qin Huairu took all his salary, the family occupied his house, his son Mallet was a white-eyed wolf, the two daughters would only ask him for a dowry, and when the stupid pillar was old, there was no one to take care of him.
This view is a bit extreme, and it seems to make some sense.
Mainly Lou Xiao'e gave people the impression that she was too good, and when she fell in love with Silly Pillar, she gave the heirloom and herself to Silly Pillar. Later, he appeared with his son, and he also understood the great righteousness very well, and secretly funded it without arguing or robbing.
And Qin Huairu has been asking for it, the early stage seems to be looking for a cheap spare tire, and in the back, in order to help his son, he even agreed to follow Xu Damao to learn art, completely unaware of the importance.
Because of this, everyone thinks that Lou Xiao'e and Silly Pillar are a pair.
The actor Wei Xiaojun is an actor with exquisite acting skills, who has cooperated with Liu Jiacheng in many plays, and is currently mainly acting in dramas, and occasionally participates in TV series, but the output is very low, just like disappearing.
4. Xu Damao (Sea Day)
Hai Day is a very magical actor, at the age of 9, he played a little villain in "Camel Xiangzi", so he had a dream from childhood to adulthood: to be the "first Chinese villain".
I don't know if it was for this reason, he received an invitation from Liu Jiacheng.
However, at the first glance of the script, it was difficult: Xu Damao was selfish, careful,not good-looking, and a typical sinister villain, and if he acted like this, the audience not only hated the role, but even the actor.
This completely does not reflect the strength of the "villain first person", he pondered for a few days, and finally decided to add some comedy components, so that Xu Damao is cheap and indebted, although he hates his teeth, he will not be particularly bored.
The final effect was indeed a good one, and later when he walked to the street, many people directly called him "Xu Damao".
After this drama, Hai Day really went farther and farther on the villain road, wu Youren in "Sesame Alley", Shen Gongbao, who was extremely bad in "Fengshen Yanyi", and the ultimate big boss in "Son-in-law", all of which left a deep impression.
I hope he gets what he wants soon, and doesn't waste his acting skills and this villain face.
5. Qin Jingru (Liu Yuanyuan)
Qin Jingru and Xu Damao are really a natural pair, admiring vanity, right and wrong, enmity will be revenge, Xu Damao makes bad, she arches fire next to her, especially annoying.
After eating the consequences of eating evil, being swept out of the house by Xu Damao, and being harshly taught by society, he finally lost his way and returned.
The actor Liu Yuanyuan is a child actor, who participated in a TV series at the age of 5, was admitted to the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts at the age of 10, and officially debuted after graduating at the age of 16. When filming this drama, Liu Yuanyuan was already 38 years old, but his face was agile and he couldn't see his age at all.
Liu Yuanyuan is low-key, so his fame is not very big, especially after marrying CCTV sports anchor Sha Tong, he has been at home to teach his husband and children, and rarely shoots again.
6. Great Uncle (Sha Jingchang)
In addition to these young actors, several bosses in the film are also particularly eye-catching.
The eldest grandfather played by Sha Jingchang is kind and upright, respects the old and loves the young, has always taken good care of the deaf old lady, and has also broken his heart for Silly Pillar and Qin Huairu. This noble character has a particularly profound influence on the silly pillar, almost learning him to be a man.
Sha Jingchang is a national first-class actor, debuted at the age of 26, has acted in almost 100 film and television dramas so far, and is best at playing his father, many people may not know his name, but this face should be very familiar.
Sha Jingchang in life is very low-key, never likes to socialize, goes home after filming, his only hobby is playing basketball, and he often plays games with Zhang Fengyi.
Because of regular exercise, Sha Jingchang's body is very tough, and he is 70 years old this year, looking much younger than his actual age.
Today, he is still active in the film and television circle, and this year he also participated in the military drama "Special Battle Glory", hoping that the elderly will be healthy.
7. Second Uncle (Brother Fang Zi)
The second uncle is an official fan, and he likes to give people a score as a leader.
In the factory, he thought of being the director; when he returned to the compound, he loved to compete with the eldest master for the C position, and always wanted to replace him.
There was no goods in his stomach, he was seized by Xu Damao in the factory, and when he returned to the compound, he was repaired by a stupid pillar, which was ridiculous and hateful.
The actor Fang Zige looks rich, a look is the lord who will eat, in reality he is indeed very good at cooking, every time to the crew will bring some homemade pickles, meat sauce, sandwiched in the grilled steamed bun full of aroma, let everyone be unsatisfied.
When filming this drama, Fang Zige was nearly 70 years old, simply retired and returned home to spend his old age, and rarely filmed again.
8. The Three Great Masters (Li Guangfu)
Li Guangfu should be one of the old actors who are very familiar to everyone, and the "tattered waiting" of "Under the Gate of Zhengyang" and the "Zheng Xipo" in "The Name of the People" have left a deep impression.
In the play, the three masters he played is a money fan, usually cut and search, a pound of meat can eat for half a month, want to go to his house to watch TV, have to pay the electricity bill first.
He is also the most grateful one, and later the silly pillar encountered economic difficulties, and the three masters ran to pick up the garbage without saying a word, hoping to help the lining and make the audience particularly moved.
Li Guangfu debuted very early, at the age of 13, he entered the Renyi Drama Troupe, groped and played on the drama stage for nearly 40 years, unexpectedly entered the film and television circle when he retired, did not expect to usher in the second spring of his life, with the precise grasp of small people, he interpreted many roles deeply into the hearts of the people.
In reality, Li Guangfu's life is very rich, and he has a unique courtyard in Beijing, and many crews have filmed in it.
Today, at the age of 75, he can fully retire and enjoy life, but because he loves acting too much, he can't stop at all, "the film remuneration doesn't matter, as long as he can shoot", this year he also participated in "The World", hoping that he can continue to act.
9. He Daqing (Ni Dahong)
Ni Dahong, who plays silly Zhu's father, appears in the last few episodes, although there are not many scenes, but the evaluation is mixed.
Some people think that the acting skills are really good, and the old dragon bell is played out of the blue, which is completely textbook level.
Some people also feel inexplicable, and the paralyzed performance is particularly fond of stealing scenes, which makes people very annoying.
In reality, Ni Dahong has also suffered from the same controversy, oscillating left and right between "worthy of the name" and "excessive praise".
However, Ni Dahong is indeed getting more and more popular, and in 2019, he also won the Magnolia Award for the Emperor of Vision with "All Is Good", and now it has become a guarantee for acting and ratings.
10. Deaf Old Lady (Lu Garden)
Finally, let's talk about the most respected deaf old lady.
Lu Yuan graduated from Nankai University and is the first generation host of Tianjin Radio.
At the age of 55, Changchun Film Studio was preparing to make a movie, which needed a well-informed, kind-hearted mother, and it was inappropriate to find many people, until she finally found Lu Yuan in Tianjin, and she entered the film and television circle.
Since then, Lu Yuan has starred in nearly a hundred film and television dramas, the most famous of which is "Watching Happiness" in 2005, in which she played a mother with Alzheimer's disease, who won the Feitian Award for her vivid performance, when she was 78 years old.
Ten years later, the filming of "Love Full Courtyard" began, and it needed a kind and wise grandmother, and the first thought was Lu Yuan.
At that time, there was a scene where the deaf old lady locked them in the same room in order to match Silly Pillar and Lou Xiao'e, and some young actors were worried that this was inappropriate, but Lu Yuan felt: "True love should be fought for, because it touched my heart, if it is really me, I will do it." ”
I have to say that this scene is really touching and touching.
Unfortunately, in 2020, the old lady finally drove the crane west at the age of 91 because of her advanced age.
The reason why "Love Full Courtyard" is loved by everyone is inseparable from these excellent actors.
They did not have a face to face the character, but performed the essence of the character, vivid and lively, real as if the people around them.
