In 1998, in the scene where Li Xuejian performed "Zhao An" in "Water Margin", an audience member was so angry that he smashed his own color TV. His wife also told him: Don't go back to your hometown, the people in your hometown will cut you, saying that you have taken the good man to the gutter, and then come back when the limelight has passed.
Li Xuejian already had a feeling that "Zhao'an" is "surrender", he advised the director not to shoot the back scene, and the 108 good men "Zhao'an" will end.
But the director didn't do it. It was still staged that Song Jiang was killed by Gao Li with poisonous wine. Gao Li poisoned Lü Junyi with medicinal liquor and fell into the water while sitting on a boat and died. When Wu Yong heard that Brother Song was dead, he died in grief in front of his brother's tomb. After Gongsun Sheng learned of Song Jiang's recruitment, he became a monk.
The audience watched Song Jiang's 108 people end up like this, and they were all sad and shed tears. They were not satisfied with such an ending, and they poured their resentment on Song Jiang.
Li Xuejian's portrayal of Song Jiang is unforgettable, no wonder some people have seen the face of Song Jiang in "Water Margin" and never want to watch Li Xuejian's movies anymore.
But Li Xuejian said from the bottom of his heart: When playing Song Jiang, he suffered too much, and it is still unimaginable.
