"I'm just an old actor," Li Said Quietly.
In the face of the media to give him the title of "old drama bone", Li Youbin categorically refused, in his view, he is just an ordinary actor, acting is the responsibility of the actor, not worthy of huge publicity.
Since entering the industry at the age of 16, he has gone through 48 years of drama life, but he has always been conscientious, never relaxed, and paranoid about being a good actor.
In addition to Li Yunlong, he is also a "strong lifter" with a tragic fate; The fierce businessman "Zhou Shiwan"; The difficult nuclear physics expert "Lu Guangda"...
It can be said that as long as he is there, the audience is willing to believe that this is where the foundation of a good actor lies.
In life, when he does not open Weibo, does not hype, does not participate in variety shows, does not take commercials, and even has no works, he chooses not to accept any interviews.
However, in addition to the works, the most interesting thing is his love life, so what happened between him and his two wives, Zhang Ruiqi and Shi Lanya?
First, dormant for 20 years
In 1958, Li Youbin was born in Changchun, Jilin Province, to a working-class family of 4 children, he was the second eldest, with an older sister named Li Yeju on the top and a pair of younger siblings below.
Memories slowly come with the rotation of gears and hands, and my father always sits under a small table lamp, with monocular glasses, with his head down, quietly fiddling with the watch on the table, and often saying "learn a good craft, you can use it for a lifetime."
As the father of a senior technician in the watch factory, he received a high salary of 90 yuan per month, and his reputation in the hearts of the townspeople was very high, and his "old craftsman" spirit seemed to have influenced Li Youbin's life.
When he was 6 years old, his parents divorced because of emotional discord, Li Youbin and his sister lived with their father, and their younger sister was taken away by their mother, and since then, the family has been scattered.
It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother, and in the days to come, Li Yeju assumed the responsibility of a mother, taking care of the living life of the two men in the family, while also freeing up energy to crush all gossip.
Because of her love of literature and art, her sister later became a national first-class actor, starred in many classic dramas, and was also the winner of the first Golden Lion Award for Chinese Drama, but the sisters and brothers never shared the same stage.
Under the influence of his sister, Li Youbin naturally embarked on the road of acting.
At the age of 16, Li Youbin had grown into a famous "Hou Junsheng" in ten miles and eight townships, although he did not break through the threshold of marriage, but he was mixed up in the school propaganda team.
At that time, he participated in the student drama "Mao Feng Huazheng", which was selected by the Changchun Municipal Bureau of Culture and Education in one fell swoop, so he successfully entered the Changchun Repertory Theatre and became an actor.
At that time, Shi Lanya, who was 13 years younger, grew up carefree in a family of scholars.
Her father is the famous director Shi Jianfan, her grandfather and grandmother are the predecessors of the literary and art circles, since childhood, Shi Lanya has been trained according to everyone's boudoir, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Here, Li Youbin, who has just entered the regiment, started from running the masses, 3 cents a day, starred in lifeless A and B, while taking into account some miscellaneous work, moving props, repairing field lights and cloth scenes, and being busy every day.
In the 1980s, Li Youbin gradually emerged as a prominent figure in dramas such as "Save Her" and "The Phantom of the Ancient Temple". It is also famous for its role as "Puyi" in the drama "The End of New Beijing".
At this time, Li Youbin met the first woman in her life, Zhang Ruiqi, a beautiful actress in the drama troupe at that time.
Zhang Ruiqi, who has a superior family, not only looks like a daffodil, but also has great talent, is the key cultivation of Hua Dan in the group, and has starred in many classic dramas.
Lang has a concubine intention, and the two naturally come together and become the enviable "Golden Boy and Jade Girl".
In 1982, Li Youbin and Zhang Ruiqi low-key marriage, 3 years later, his wife gave birth to a big fat boy for him, named Li Xiaoke, in order to take care of the children, Zhang Ruiqi left the drama stage and concentrated on her husband and children at home.
With the decline in the efficiency of the drama troupe, Li Youbin ended his 10-year drama career, entered the Changchun Film Studio, and began a period of more than ten years of ups and downs.
Later, he played the leading role in the movies "Death Certificate", "Sky Valley" and "She Used to Be My Wife", but they did not make much splash, and once fell into a dead silence, and the depressed salary made life difficult.
Here, 16-year-old Shi Lanya, with a pure and flexible appearance, in the TV series "Siege of the City", with the role of Tang Xiaofu, she is a "cinnabar mole" in Chen Daoming's heart, but it is also the "white moonlight" that the audience cannot forget.
In order to support his family, 30-year-old Li Youbin decided to abandon his family and business and go to Beijing to find opportunities, thus laying a thunder for his marriage.
Second, meet Li Yunlong
Li Youbin, who has just arrived in Beijing and is not familiar with life, under the light of his friends, takes on some bits and pieces of work, and makes a small role in one or two movies, and his income is very unstable, which makes him particularly tormented inside.
At the same time, worried that his wife and children in his hometown were not living well, he always cut back on food and clothing, sent back the money he saved, and he was often hungry and uneven.
In order to fight for more performance opportunities, he followed the crew to the north and south, and there was no time to take care of the family, and most of his thoughts could only be solved by telephone, so he missed a lot of the growth of his son Li Xiaoke, which made him feel guilty.
In 1994, in the TV series "The Rise and Fall of the Tide", he began to play the leading role, playing "Lu Mingkuan", and in 1999, in "Turning The World", he played the nuclear physics expert "Lu Guangda".
At that time, he was wearing a lapel white shirt and a sweater vest on the outside, standing on the podium to deduce physical formulas, raising his hands and feet to be elegant and full of bookishness, and he could not imagine that he would be the later "Li Yunlong".
The TV series "The True Colors of Criminal Police" cooperated with Wang Zhiwen began to make Li Youbin gradually known.
This drama is also one of its few villain roles, the superficially elegant, but actually cunning businessman "Zhou Shiwan", in the head-to-head confrontation with the criminal police captain Wang Zhiwen, did not fall behind, so that he won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Supporting Actor in one fell swoop.
Later, Li Youbin was specially recruited into the Bayi Film Studio for playing the role of the chief of the anti-flood army in "Frightening Waves", and his career finally stabilized.
However, the neglect of the family over the years has also deepened the gap between him and his wife, and the two often quarrel over small things, while the young son is always scared to hide in the room and dare not come out.
Later, the two simply chose to separate.
In 2002, in the TV series "Jiangshan", Li Youbin met Shi Lanya, and the two played a couple in the turbulent era, and after killing Qingqing, the two became close friends.
In 2005, the TV series "Bright Sword" was preparing to shoot, originally Li Youbin was not willing to take over the shooting, although the script was solid, but the main role was a prickly head division commander who was full of foul language and loved to drink and brag.
Her friend Shi Lanya saw the potential of this drama, and she tried her best to persuade Li Youbin to play "Li Yunlong".
5 months after filming, 12 hours a day of ultra-high-intensity work, Li Youbin wore a torn cotton jacket through the rain of bullets and bullets, often dazzled by the explosion points next to him, but insisted on not using a stand-in.
The most fatal thing is that it is winter, the temperature in Shanxi, where the filming site, is as low as minus 40 degrees, even if wrapped in three coats can not withstand the cold, finally, Li Youbin fell with a high fever.
After hearing the news, Shi Lanya, as an assistant, ran to the crew to take care of Li Youbin, so that this tough guy had a little warmth in his heart.
After the TV series was broadcast, Li Yunlong, who had flesh and blood, conquered hundreds of millions of viewers across the country, and in the following decades, the drama was broadcast more than 3,000 times by various David TV, truly becoming a cultural symbol that influenced several generations.
This year, Li Youbin was 47 years old and finally became a hit.
After that, he took advantage of the trend and took over the role of "Breaking into Kanto", and since then he has sat firmly on the throne of the first brother of the TV series.
However, when his career reached the peak, he and his wife Zhang Ruiqi came to an end, gathering less and leaving more, coupled with countless quarrels, and the feelings of the two were consumed.
In 2006, insisting that after his son reached adulthood, the two divorced peacefully, and Li Youbin chose to leave the house.
Third, the bitterness and joy of the remarried family
Speaking of Shi Lanya, she was a public lover when she was young, there was no shortage of suitors around her, and the emotional experience was also quite tortuous, experiencing two failed marriages.
The first husband is liu bin, director and actor, in many classic film and television dramas, he has shown his face, such as "The Story of the Editorial Department", "Never Look Away" and "Big House Door 2", etc. He has a lot of memory points when he is slightly fat.
Because of the working relationship, the two met until they got married, but in the end, for some reason, the two agreed to divorce.
Later, under the introduction of relatives, Shi Lanya met her second husband, who was an outsider, a returnee, engaged in Internet work, and the two had a son after marriage.
The originally happy family finally ended up with her husband suffering from cancer, and in order not to implicate his wife and children, the husband took the initiative to file for divorce.
In one mismarriage after another, Shi Lanya is like a weed in the wind, a duckweed in the water, lonely and lonely, until she meets Li Youbin, who is 13 years older than herself, she seems to have found the direction of home, and has never drifted again.
In 2008, the media photographed Li Youbin and Shi Lanya holding hands to visit the mall, in this regard, the underground love affair between the two was exposed, this year, there was no concealment, Li Youbin married Shi Lanya home and gave her a formal name.
However, Shi Lanya was infamous for this, and the attack from the outside world caused great trouble to the couple.
Later, Zhang Ruiqi, an ex-wife who has always been low-key, rarely spoke out, which calmed down the storm.
"We divorced because Li Youbin's professionalism was too heavy, he was busy and stationed in the crew, there were too many estrangements between us, and finally came to an end, and had nothing to do with Shi Lanya."
After getting married, Li Youbin felt the warmth of the family again, and the stepson, who was only 8 years old, seemed to let him see his son Xiaoke when he was a child, at this time he was already a 23-year-old guy, and it was difficult to go back to the past.
In the stepson, Li Youbin is determined to be a responsible father.
At first, the little guy did not accept this "father", and even often did wrong things to deliberately anger him, smashing things at home at every turn, cutting Li Youbin's clothes, throwing his supplies into the trash can, and so on.
Once, while playing model aircraft at home, the little guy said to his mother in a milky voice, "I will use my spaceship to send Daddy Li to the moon and never come back."
In the face of children, Li Youbin really wanted to hurt him, but he did not know how to get along with children, and later, he consulted many friends with children and studied with an open mind.
As long as he does not shoot a scene, he will spend all his time with his children, accompany the little guy to get off the military flag, play online games, and even disregard his body, accompany the child to play dangerous and exciting pirate ships, and after coming down, his face is pale, and he is dizzy and vomiting.
Gradually, the relationship between father and son became more and more intimate, and Shi Lanya saw it in his eyes, his heart was warm and dry, and he always blamed him and made the child accustomed to no edge.
"My role is difficult or inappropriate, petting or severe, as long as it is transformed on the basis of love," Li Youbin sighed.
But in education, Li Youbin has not been soft, he trained his son with the requirements of a soldier, punished him for standing in a military posture under the sun if he made a mistake, and took him to run exercises and exercise every morning...
And Li Youbin's full efforts made this remarried family full of joy and laughter, and when the child first called out the word "Daddy", he was moved to tears when he was old.
Fourth, old age
Over the years, Li Youbin is also very concerned about his ex-wife and son, sending houses and cars, so that they have no worries about food and clothing, and whenever his ex-wife encounters difficulties, he will run to solve it at the first time, and often visit his ex-wife with Shi Lanya.
The two families get along like relatives, and the son Li Xiaoke is also very protective of his stepson, the two often play chess and ball together, and the younger brother's eyes are all adoration for the older brother.
Occasionally, Li Xiaoke also returned to her father to live for a while, chat with him, Shi Lanya always made him love dishes, bought him a few clothes, and when she left, she would bring him some hometown specialties and tell him to take care of himself.
However, there was one thing that had always been in Li Youbin's heart, making it difficult for him to sleep and eat.
In the blink of an eye to 30-year-old Li Xiaoke, career success, but the problem of marriage and love has not been solved, Li Youbin entrusted the girls introduced by friends, all of them were out of his door, making Li Youbin angry and corrupt.
The father and son had a deep conversation about this matter, and when they learned that their son had a psychological shadow because of his failed marriage to his mother, he felt extremely ashamed.
Finally, under the persuasion of his sister Li Yeju, Li Youbin slowly released his feelings, and now, the 37-year-old son still insists on celibacy, as a father, Li Youbin no longer persecutes and blames, but chooses to understand him.
Today, 64-year-old Li Youbin has gone through 14 years of marriage with Shi Lanya, and he is still as loving as ever.
In recent years, the two often perform together, whether it is a drama or a film and television drama, they have joined hands, and in the TV series "Punishment" that has just been broadcast, the two have joined forces again and are very much looking forward to their performance.
