As an "old drama bone" in the show business circle, Li Youbin has long become a household name. If "Bright Sword" made him an overnight hit, then "Breaking into Kanto" completely established his position in the show business circle.
There is no doubt that these two dramas are a major turning point in Li Youbin's acting career, in fact, during this period, his marriage is also quietly changing.
Li Youbin and sister Li Yeping
Li Youbin entered the Changchun Repertory Theatre and formed a family with Zhang Ruiqi
Li Youbin was born into a working-class family with four siblings. Influenced by her sister Li Yeping, Li Youbin liked acting since she was a child and joined the school's drama club.
At the age of 16, the Changchun Repertory Theatre noticed this extremely talented young man and invited him to join. Although he can only play some small roles, Li Youbin is very satisfied and takes every performance seriously.
After running the dragon set for several years, Li Youbin finally began to play important roles, and even had the opportunity to play the leading role.
Outside of work, Li Youbin was attracted to a tall girl named Zhang Ruiqi, who was a prominent figure in the troupe.
Li Youbin began to intentionally or unintentionally contact Zhang Ruiqi, often commuting with her, after a period of dating, Li Youbin successfully captured the heart of the goddess, the two soon entered the marriage hall, and their son Li Xiaoke was also born.
With the birth of his son, Li Youbin felt unprecedented pressure. Coinciding with the shrinking drama market, Li Youbin made a major decision - to transform film and television dramas.
Li Youbin began to shine, and the marriage was in crisis
In 1985, Li Youbin entered the Changchun Film Studio and began to play some supporting roles in film and television dramas.
At that time, the film remuneration was not high, just enough to maintain the daily expenses of the family, but even so, Zhang Ruiqi did not complain in the slightest, and has been silently supporting him behind him.
It was not until 2000, when Li Youbin and Jiang Wenli collaborated on "Cordon", that they gradually gained some fame.
Just when Zhang Ruiqi thought that they had finally "come to their bitter ends", the appearance of a woman completely broke their peace, and this woman was Shi Lanya, that is, Li Youbin's second wife.
In 2002, Li Youbin was invited to shoot the TV series "Jiangshan", and Shi Lanya played his wife in the play. The performance of the two in the play is simply into three points, and the husband and wife are brought to life.
At the same time, the contradictions between Li Youbin and Zhang Ruiqi have also become increasingly apparent, even to the point of separation.
Shi Lanya took care of the sick Li Youbin and tried to persuade him to take over the script of "Breaking into the Kanto"
The feelings of the three people are confused, and the real turning point is during the filming period of "Bright Sword".
At that time, the shooting environment was extremely harsh, the weather was tens of degrees below zero, and it was more than ten hours after a shooting, and Li Youbin inevitably fell ill. After Shi Lanya learned of the situation, he immediately rushed to the crew to take care of it, which made Li Youbin quite moved.
With the broadcast of "Bright Sword", Li Youbin became popular all over the country overnight, followed by countless scripts.
Among them, "Breaking into Kanto" made him quite entangled, and he has been hesitant after reading the script. Until a sentence from Shi Lanya, he completely settled his mind and took over the script.
"You Bin, this script is tailor-made for you, and you will definitely be able to fire when you act, because you are Zhu Kaishan"!
Shi Lanya's judgment is not wrong, with the popularity of "Breaking into the Kanto", Li Youbin's career has once again stepped into a new level, and this righteous actor has become an idol worshipped by the audience for a while.
Li Youbin separated from his original partner and married Shi Lanya, who was married three times
In this year, Li Youbin made a major decision to divorce the original Partner Zhang Ruiqi. It is worth mentioning that considering the life problems of his ex-wife Zhang Ruiqi, Li Youbin very generously proposed to go out of the house.
24 years of feelings came to an end, Zhang Ruiqi never said a bad word about her ex-husband from beginning to end, and whenever she mentioned the divorce of the two, she said that it was the ex-husband's enterprising spirit was too strong, and the reason for the personality of the two was incompatible.
Later, Li Youbin got what he wanted and married Shi Lanya, who was married three times, and the two are still in love, which can be called a model couple in the entertainment industry.
Sometimes Li Youbin has nothing, the original Zhang Ruiqi is his solid backing, with her taking care of the family in the rear, only Li Youbin is working hard in the front and becoming famous overnight.
The second wife, Shi Lanya, is a guiding light on his way forward, guiding him in the direction when he is confused. These two women are undoubtedly great, and it is precisely because of them that Li Youbin will become famous today.
